Chapter 189



When Chen Fan saw Wen Wan, the woman was almost going crazy and was pacing around the door.

"What's going on?"

Chen Fan didn't waste any time and asked directly.

"I have classes tonight, so I left mom alone in the house."

"But I forgot to lock the door when I left, and when I came back I found she was gone."

Wen Wan was really panicked. She completely lost her usual elegance and was obviously a little confused.

"Calm down first."

Chen Fan comforted the other party and then asked, "Auntie, don't you usually sit in a wheelchair?"

Wenwan explained: "Mom can walk normally, but she is too weak to walk..."

Chen Fan nodded to show that he understood.

"How long has it been since you discovered your aunt was missing?"

"It's almost an hour."

Wen Wan then added: "It has been at least half an hour since I went to class..."

"It's all your fault. Why didn't you check it again? How could you forget to lock the door..."

Seeing Wen Wan's anxious and self-blaming look, Chen Fan had no choice but to comfort her.

"It's no use talking about this now, let's find Auntie first."

"Where does Auntie usually go? Have you looked for her?"

"I've looked everywhere, including the places where Mom likes to take walks at night."

Chen Fan asked: "Will he leave the school?"

Wen Wan thought about it and shook her head: "It's unlikely. Mom has been teaching here for most of her life and even lives in this school."

"Besides, with her current strength, it will be difficult for her to leave the school..."

That's better.

Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief and then suggested, "Think carefully, is there any place that Auntie often went to when she was young that you missed?"

Wen Wan shook her head anxiously, "It's gone. I've looked everywhere I could..."

"Do you want to call the police?"

Chen Fan frowned. "If the person is missing for less than 24 months, the police won't accept the case, right?"

"Well, ask the teacher, and you can immediately contact the school security department and ask the security guards to help look for it in the school."

"Also, have the Ministry of Security investigate and monitor where the auntie went."

"Yes, the Ministry of Security..."

Wen Wan finally reacted and quickly turned around and ran towards the security department.

After running two steps, Wen Wan stopped, turned around and gave Chen Fan some instructions.

"You go back first. If your mother comes back, you must call her as soon as possible."

Chen Fan nodded, "Don't worry. You don't have to worry. Auntie will be fine."

After seeing Wen Wan leave, Chen Fan went upstairs and entered the house alone.

The door of the attic upstairs was open, but Chen Fan did not go up. He glanced at the master bedroom door and saw that it was open, so he walked over and prepared to close it.

But it turned out that the house seemed to have been ransacked.

Chen Fan has been sleeping in the study since he moved in and has never been to the master bedroom.

Wen Wan moved most of the things in this bedroom to the attic upstairs, and replaced the bed sheets with new ones.

But now, the whole house was turned into a mess.

Chen Fan walked in curiously and saw a wrinkled and yellowed photo on the bedside.

It must have been found in a closet.

The picture above shows a young couple, wearing the military green Lenin uniforms that were most popular in the 1950s and 1960s.

The woman in the photo looks to be only in her twenties. If you look closely, you can see that her eyes and eyebrows are quite similar to Wen Wan.

No need to ask. This is what Wenwan's mother looked like when she was young.

The man in the photo should be Wenwan’s father.

Chen Fan didn’t understand who found this photo. Wen Wan shouldn’t come in on her own initiative. Could it be Wen Wan’s mother?

Chen Fan turned the photo over curiously and found a line of Chinese characters written in pen on the back.

"May 16, 1959, at Yunhai University."

Chen Fan thought that this 꿂떚 should have special meaning to Wen Wan's parents.

After carefully examining the photo, Chen Fan suddenly realized that the background of the photo of the two people looked so familiar.

Isn’t this the pavilion beside Acacia Lake of Yunhai University?

Chen Fan didn't recognize it at first because the Acacia Lake in the photo looked like it did decades ago, with some old houses behind it. But now these old houses have long been demolished and willow trees have been planted all over.

However, the pavilion was preserved and renovated.

Chen Fan suddenly had an idea and came up with a guess.

Without saying a word, he took the photo and ran downstairs.

Chen Fan ran across the playground to Xiangsi Lake and began to search around the lake.

Because of poor visibility at night, Chen Fan could only search bit by bit in the dim light of street lamps.

A few hours later, Chen Fan found the pavilion and saw the thin old man sitting alone in the pavilion.

The old man was wearing very thin clothes. He sat quietly in a recliner with his head lowered, drooping, and looking drowsy.

Seeing this scene, Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

He immediately took out his cell phone and called Wen Wan.

"Auntie found it."

"This is the first pavilion on the Acacia Lake."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Fan cautiously walked over, took off his coat, and gently put it on the old man.

A few minutes later, Wen Wan ran over breathlessly. Seeing the old man sitting in the pavilion, she could no longer hold back her tears.

"Mom..."

Wenwan rushed over and hugged her mother, saying with some resentment and self-blame.

"Mom, where have you been? I thought I couldn't find you anymore..."

"Didn't I tell you not to go out? Why didn't you listen..."

The old man smiled and raised his hand to wipe away his daughter's tears.

"I wanted to go out for a walk, but I got tired while walking. I wanted to sit down and rest before going back, but I fell asleep all of a sudden..."

Wenwan wiped away her tears and gently hugged her mother.

"Mom, let's not sit here anymore. It's cold at night. Let's go home."

Chen Fan and I carried the old woman back to the bedroom, one on each side. As soon as we entered the room, our gentle mother fell asleep on the bed.

Wenwan closed the door gently and tiptoed downstairs.

Chen Fan had just come out of the bathroom after washing his face. He looked up and saw Wen Wan and smiled.

"Asleep?"

"Um."

Wen Wan was somewhat grateful; "Thank you."

"But...how did you find her?"

Chen Fan took out the photo from his pocket and handed it over.

"놖I found it on the bed in the master bedroom. It must have been found by my aunt."

Wen Wan took it and took a look at it, her expression somewhat surprised.

"I've never seen this photo before."

Chen Fan reminded: "Look at the back."

Wen Wan curiously turned over the photo and found the line of words "께" ​​at the back.

Chen Fan explained: "I guess Auntie must be missing your father. This should have a special commemorative meaning to them..."

Wen Wan's eyes were red: "Today is the day when Dad and Mom get their marriage certificate."

Chen Fan: "Didn't your mother tell you this?"

Wenwan shook her head: "Never said that."

"Thank you anyway."

Chen Fan smiled.

"I'm glad you found it. I'll go back to the study first."

Just when I was about to say goodbye, Wen Wan suddenly opened her mouth.

"Do you... have time? Would you like to have a drink?"

Chen Fan: “…”

Wen Wan actually took the initiative to invite herself to drink?

You know, she had been avoiding having too much contact with herself before.

The sun rises from the west?
