Li Family
"Grandpa, Grandma, the food is getting cold, aren't we going to eat yet?" Sister Wang walked out of the kitchen and asked, looking at Grandpa Li and the others sitting on the sofa waiting.
Grandma Yu looked up and gazed into the entryway. "It's already this late, why haven't Shushu and Xiaoye come back yet? Didn't they say things haven't been going well at the shop lately, so they should be back sooner?"
Grandpa Li looked up at the clock on the wall. "It's already 11 o'clock. Even when the shop was really busy, we would have arrived much earlier."
Li Xiao touched her slightly panicked heart, thinking, "Could it be that I fell off my bike on the way back?"
When she went to school this morning, her mother told her that she and Xiaoye would come home early.
Li Zhenzhen frowned and said, "Could it be that something came up at the store and caused a delay?"
Grandma Yu's right eyelid suddenly twitched. She raised her hand to press her eyelid, "My right eyelid has been twitching, and I'm really panicking. I wonder if something happened on the way back."
"Old Li, have Xiao Huang drive over and take a look," said Mrs. Yu, holding her husband's hand.
"Ding-dong ding-dong..."
The doorbell rang.
"It must be Auntie coming back." Li Zhenzhen quickly got up to open the door.
No opened the door and was startled to see Ge outside. "Dad, it's you?"
Li Boyan felt as if he'd been shot in the heart. He'd finally finished his work and was coming home to spend New Year's with his family, but instead of being surprised and happy to see him, his little darling asked, "Daddy, what are you doing here?"
"Why can't it be me? What, you don't welcome me back to celebrate the holiday with you?"
"No, that's not it," Li Zhenzhen quickly explained. "It's just that my aunt and little brother Xiaoye haven't gotten home yet, so when I heard the doorbell ring, I thought it was my aunt and brother."
"Your aunt and Xiaoye are supposed to be back tonight, but they're not home yet?" Li Boyan frowned.
Li Zhenzhen nodded. "Auntie told Xiao Nu that she would be back soon, but she hasn't come back yet. Grandma is worried that something might have happened on her way back."
Li Boyan: "I won't go in yet, I'll drive out and take a look."
After saying that, Li Boyan turned around and left.
A moment later, Li Zhenzhen heard the sound of a car starting. She turned around and went to the living room, saying, "My dad drove out to see my aunt and the others."
Grandma Yu pressed her hand to her chest and said, "Why do I feel so uneasy?" She had a feeling that something bad was going to happen.
Grandpa Li patted his wife's hand and said, "Don't overthink it. Something just happened at the shop that delayed us."
Grandma Yu frowned and said, "I hope so."
Gu Jia
Mr. Gu and his wife, who had already eaten dinner, were sitting on the sofa watching TV.
Grandma Mu was watching TV when she glanced at the clock on the wall out of the corner of her eye. She frowned and said, "Wow, it's already 10 o'clock. Why hasn't Zhenyuan come back yet?"
Grandpa Gu, watching TV, said, "Maybe it's a holiday tomorrow, and their bureau is having a get-together for dinner."
Grandma Mu frowned and said, "They should be back from the dinner party by now; it's so late."
Grandpa Gu: "Zhenyuan isn't a child anymore. Why do you care what time he comes back? He's not going to get lost."
Grandma Mu rolled her eyes at her husband, "You just don't care about our son at all."
Old Master Gu: "..."

"Bang..." Gu Zhenyuan kicked the last big man in the stomach, sending him flying a meter before crashing heavily to the ground.
Blood trickled from the corner of the burly man's mouth. He tried to get up, supporting himself with his hands, but he couldn't. His internal organs felt like they had shifted, and he was in excruciating pain.
Beside him were four brothers who had fallen, unable to get up like him.
They never expected that even though they were all top-tier fighters in the gang, with two out of four of them being skilled fighters, and one of them even having been stabbed once, they were still taken down by the gang member.
Gu Zhenyuan's clenched fist trembled slightly, and he was breathing heavily with extreme exhaustion.
The burly man in the car, whose testicles had been smashed, took a long time to recover.
His eye was swollen from being poked by Li Yunshu, which affected his vision and made it difficult for him to see clearly.
However, through his hearing and blurred vision, he could sense that his brothers had all been killed.
He couldn't drive and tried to sneak out by opening the car door, but as soon as he got out, he tripped over a stone, fell flat on his face, and hit his head on the stone, letting out a scream before passing out.
Li Yunshu and Gu Zhenyuan heard the commotion and looked over. Seeing that Gu had fallen to the ground and was not moving, they ignored him.
Gu Zhen looked at Li Yunshu from afar and said, "Sister Yunshu, you watch over Xiao Ye for now. I'll go to the car to get a rope, tie these guys up, and then drive Xiao Ye to the hospital."
Li Yunshu nodded, squatted down next to Qin Ye, and reached out to help him sit up.
Qin Ye's face was somewhat pale and he was a little weak, but he was still conscious.
"Xiao Ye, where did they stab you?" Li Yunshu asked, searching for wounds on Qin Ye's body in the dim light of the car headlights.
Qin Ye shook his head, "I...I'm fine."
Li Yunshu's hand was touching Qin Ye's body when she suddenly felt that his cotton-padded coat was wet, and her heart clenched.
"Why are you so foolish, child? You're already injured, why are you still chasing after them? Go to the hospital right away!" Li Yunshu said, choking back tears.
Qin Ye looked at the tears falling on her face and said, "I'm afraid that if I don't chase after you, I'll never catch up with you again, and I'll never find you again."
As the car drove away, he suddenly remembered the scene when his biological mother abandoned him when he was a child.
At that time, his mother carried her luggage and lied to him, saying she was going out to buy him candy.
He wanted to go with his mother, but she very fiercely chased him back, forbidding him to come any further, or she wouldn't buy him any candy. For the sake of the candy, he didn't go any further.
But as he stood at the door, watching his mother's figure grow smaller and smaller in the distance, a sense of panic rose in his heart. When he tried to chase after her, he could no longer catch up.
Even as he fell to the ground and wailed, the gradually blurring figure never looked back, and just like that, disappeared from his world.
"Why are you so silly, child?" Li Yunshu touched Qin Ye's face with heartache, only to find that his face was as cold as ice.
She quickly pulled Qin Ye into her arms and rubbed his face and arms to warm him up.
"It's so warm..." Qin Ye murmured, his vision gradually blurring in his mother's warm embrace until he fell into endless darkness and drifted off to sleep.
"Ono..."
"Ono..."
Qin Ye didn't know how long he had slept. He only felt that his body was very heavy and he was very tired, but a voice kept calling him.
The sound started out far away, but gradually it got closer and closer...
"Ono, Ono..."
"Open your eyes and look at your mother."
Mom, how can he have a mother?
His mother abandoned him long ago, and he has been a wild child without a mother to care for him since he was a child.
"Ono, you must wake up! Mommy is waiting for you. Mommy loves you..."
He's lying; how could his mother possibly love him?
If it were love, how could one abandon him and leave?
Why didn't his mother appear during the countless times he desperately wanted her to pull him out of the abyss?
His mother abandoned him, his father only drank and ate him, and no one in this world loved him.
No...
