"Mr. Gu, Miss Er has run away! I couldn't catch up with her." Huang Lin's voice sounded extremely anxious.
"What do you mean Ningning ran away?" Gu Qingyan asked, puzzled. "Didn't you drive to pick up Ningning?"
"When I went to pick her up, Miss Er wasn't waiting for me in the parking lot, so I drove up to the airport and drove around a few times to see if she had gone to the wrong place."
But to my surprise, as soon as I saw the second young lady and opened the window to call her name, she saw me and immediately ran away.
Huang Lin wiped his sweat and explained.
"Did Ningning mistake you for one of Rong Mo's people, thinking you were here to arrest her again, which is why she ran away?" Gu Qingyan pursed his lips, guessing the reason.
"That's what I thought too, so I quickly drove after her and shouted her name loudly, afraid that the people who arrested her would hear me."
Huang Lin scratched his head, somewhat puzzled. "When I caught up with Miss Er in my car, I was pretty sure she turned around and saw me, and I also told her that you asked me to pick her up."
But as soon as I finished speaking, she ran even faster, and crossed the road to the other side. My car couldn't get through, and it was stuck in the middle of the road, so I could only watch helplessly as the second young lady ran away.
Moreover, Huang Lin paused somewhat awkwardly.
"What's wrong? Speak." Gu Qingyan was a little displeased. He didn't have time to waste words with Huang Lin. At this moment, he was in a hurry to finish the call and go into the ward.
"When the Second Miss heard me mention your name, she glared at me fiercely. It seemed to be filled with anger and resentment," Huang Lin said, licking his lips.
When Gu Qingyan heard Huang Lin say this, he immediately had a bad feeling. However, he couldn't contact Gu Ningning at the moment, so he had to suppress his unease for the time being, told Huang Lin to continue searching, and then walked towards the ward.
As soon as he pushed open the door, he saw that only Gu Suian and Mu Ziqi were left in the ward. Gu Qingyan subconsciously asked, "Mom and Dad, where's Zhi Qiu? Has she already left?"
"Yes. They just left." Gu Suian greeted Gu Qingyan when he returned, inviting him to sit down and eat.
"Why did you leave so suddenly?" Gu Qingyan asked, pretending not to know anything. He sat down, drank a bowl of chicken soup, and commented, "It tastes pretty good."
“We don’t know. Rong Mo said when he came back that he received a phone call at the door and that there was an urgent matter at the company that required him to rush back to handle, so he left in a hurry,” Gu Suian replied.
Gu Qingyan pursed her lips, tilting her head to ponder Rong Mo's intentions.
He left without saying anything to Gu Suian and Mu Ziqi?
However, Mu Ziqi, sitting opposite him, looked at Gu Qingyan with a serious expression and a sullen face. In the end, she didn't say anything. She didn't want to speculate too much about things without evidence.
-------------
As evening fell and darkness descended, Gu Ningning, who had escaped, hid in a dilapidated underpass, her face filled with panic.
She looked around and saw a middle-aged man leisurely lying on a blue deck chair, fishing not far away.
She crouched down, approaching cautiously, trying her best not to make a sound.
After walking up behind the man, Gu Ningning tentatively asked in a low voice, "Uncle, could I borrow your phone to make a call?"
The middle-aged man was startled. He hadn't heard anyone approaching at all. Turning his head, he saw Gu Ningning's face above him and couldn't help but curse, "Damn it, you scared me to death in the middle of the night! I thought I saw a ghost!"
"Uncle, I'm so sorry, I scared you. Can I borrow your phone? I just need to make one call, please!" Gu Ningning looked around nervously, afraid that Wei Qiao and the others would find their way here.
"What happened?" The man sat up and saw that Gu Ningning was just a young girl, but she looked panicked and frightened, like a startled bird. He immediately became alert and looked around. After confirming that no one else was around, he took off his thick coat and draped it over Gu Ningning's shoulders. He asked gently, "I'm sorry. I was frightened and that's why I swore. I'm not a bad person. I didn't mean to be mean to you."
Who are you going to call?
As he asked, the middle-aged man bent down and rummaged through a pocket hanging outside the recliner for his phone. "Wait a minute, let me find where my phone is."
"I called my dad and asked him to come pick me up." Gu Ningning's voice trembled slightly. She was just a young girl, and the dim environment made her feel very scared, so her first thought was to find her father.
"What's wrong with you, young lady? Did you have a fight with your parents and run away from home? Are you regretting it now?" The uncle thought Gu Ningning had just had a conflict with her parents. He found her phone, handed it to her, and patiently advised, "In this world, there are a lot of bad people. You must be careful to be safe going out late at night. Your parents must be very worried. Call them right away."
"My parents are divorced, and I haven't seen my mom in a long time," Gu Ningning said, taking the phone and looking down with a touch of melancholy.
Upon hearing this, the older man looked at the young girl with a pang of sympathy.
Gu Ningning quickly dialed the phone number, and the call was answered almost immediately.
"Ningning?" came Gu Suiping's tentative call from the other end of the phone.
"Dad!" Gu Ningning heard Gu Suiping's voice and immediately covered her mouth, bursting into tears.
"Ningning?! It really is you! Your father was so worried!" Gu Suiping asked anxiously, his hands trembling. "Where are you? Send me your location quickly, and your father will come to pick you up right away!" Gu Suiping immediately instructed his assistant to prepare to leave at any time.
"I'm in the capital, Dad. But I don't know where I am. It's so dark here. There's a bridge, a river, lots of trees, and an uncle lent me his phone to call you. Oh, and he gave me his coat too. It's so cold here, Dad, boohoo..."
Gu Ningning completely lost her composure, her words became incoherent and she could only cry loudly.
"Ningning, you have to tell Daddy the exact location!" Gu Suiping shouted anxiously.
"Let me do it." Seeing that the two were having too much trouble communicating, the middle-aged man next to him prepared to take the phone and tell Gu Suiping the exact location himself.
"Then you should tell my dad." Gu Ningning quickly handed the phone to the uncle, looking at him expectantly, as if the uncle were a superhero.
