Chapter 65 Missing

Yuan Tingchuan half held his beloved woman in his arms, rinsed the film with clean water, and occasionally bent down to kiss the woman's fair and delicate cheeks.

Du Ruo leaned half-way in Yuan Tingchuan's arms with her cheeks flushed.

The two people who didn't know what it was were quietly savoring the emotion, feeling some joy, some excitement, and some slight sadness.

For Du Ruo, she was more at a loss as her plans were interrupted. Yuan Tingchuan was not in her life plan, and it was not in her life plan before, and it is still not in her life plan now...

She raised her slender fingers and gently traced the curve of the man's lips. The man smiled and bit her fingertips, then gently held them in his mouth...

Yuan Tingchuan hangs the photo in his hand on a clip and waits for it to dry. Then he puts it into the film box of the enlarger and exposes the photo paper to light. Finally, the photo paper goes through development, bleaching, and drying before it can become a photo. The last process requires waiting.

Yuan Tingchuan and Du Ruo walked out of the darkroom hugging each other.

When the sunlight from outside hit him, Du Ruo stretched out his hand to block it, and all the emotions in the darkness gradually disappeared.

Yuan Tingchuan had guessed that this would happen. He shrugged his shoulders and walked to the sofa nonchalantly. He reached out and picked up the teacup. The hot tea in the cup was still warm. He took a sip and said, "We have to wait at least half a day. After the photos are dried, the effect will come out."

Du Ruo: "When did you learn this?"

Yuan Tingchuan smiled and said, "When I was young, I had no other hobbies but taking pictures of landscapes to relieve the stress from my studies and work."

Du Ruo asked with interest: "Only taking pictures of the scenery?"

Yuan Tingchuan: "I only take photos of landscapes. What I come into contact with on a daily basis are the complicated human hearts. I want to see something pure in my photos."

Du Ruo: "You wash the rolls of glue by yourself?"

Yuan Tingchuan said: "Yes, when I was washing the film rolls in the darkroom, it was a relatively closed space, quiet and peaceful. Not only could I enjoy the tranquility, but I could also think about some problems. In the darkness, my thoughts were always infinitely magnified. I used to enjoy this feeling very much."

Du Ruo raised an eyebrow: "Ever?"

Yuan Tingchuan sighed with some melancholy: "Yeah, once upon a time, I couldn't even remember how long it had been since I went into the darkroom to fiddle with these things. I really didn't have the time, nor was I in the mood.

I can no longer stand there calmly, waiting for the pictures to appear, and I no longer have the same anticipation I had back then.”

He smiled and looked at Du Ruo: "Where is your carving knife? When you hold it, are you still as calm as you were back then?"

Du Ruo raised her chin slightly and said proudly: "Of course, my carving knife and jade can soothe all my emotions, as always." This is her soul companion.

Yuan Tingchuan tapped the edge of the teacup with his fingers. He liked the resilience of this woman, and he also liked the elegant and graceful aura that surrounded her. She was so charming.

The two sat opposite each other and talked about everything like old friends. Yuan Tingchuan was knowledgeable and had a wide range of interests. He was involved in many things and Du Ruo listened with great interest.

Du Ruo has experienced the era of information explosion. She used to be so poor that she only had money left, but she also had many interesting experiences. Time passed quickly when she talked about them.

It was not until he held the photos in his hands that Du Ruo was surprised to find that it was already afternoon. Earlier in the darkroom, he seemed to hear Yu Min calling them to eat.

At that time, they were whispering to each other passionately and Du Ruo didn't hear clearly what they said.

Well, I didn’t even have lunch.

Yuan Tingchuan said, "Pick up the sons and let's go out to eat."

He casually threw the photo onto the table and was about to pick up the coat beside the sofa when suddenly, Yuan Tingchuan's gaze froze.

He frowned, picked up a photo with a serious expression, and held it up to examine it carefully.

Du Ruo knew something was wrong. She quickly walked to Yuan Tingchuan and asked softly, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Yuan Tingchuan frowned, squinted his eyes, picked up the mobile phone on the table and made a call.

To put it simply, "Go to the kindergarten and see if the two children are still there."

Du Ruo's heart skipped a beat. She anxiously grabbed Yuan Tingchuan's sleeve and asked in a hurry, "What's going on? What happened?"

Yuan Tingchuan held her in his arms soothingly, kissed her hair gently, and said softly: "It may not be a problem, don't worry."

Du Ruoke refused to buy the bill. She knew something must have happened.

Du Ruo pushed him away, walked out quickly, and shouted: "Big guy, big guy?"

The big guy ran out of the closet in a hurry: "What's the matter? Mr. Du."

Du Ruo walked out with him, holding the car keys, saying as she walked, "We have to go to the kindergarten, hurry up."

The big guy's heart sank, and he hurriedly followed Du Ruo out.

Yuan Tingchuan was on the phone, he followed helplessly and said to Du Ruo: "Let's go together, this matter is a bit complicated, let's go."

When several people rushed to the kindergarten, the police were taking statements. Yuan Tingchuan had already called the police, and the police took the matter very seriously.

The Yuan Group now has a lot of investments in the mainland. Yuan Tingchuan’s son is missing, which is no small matter. The police have invested a lot of manpower to investigate one by one.

Principal Wang said anxiously, "It was Hanzhe's grandpa and grandma who came to pick him up. They said his mother had been in a car accident and Yuan Shurui had to go with her.

We have confirmed that they are indeed Hanzhe's grandpa and grandma. We don't know if there is anything else?"

This incident has a huge impact on the kindergarten. If not handled properly, it may cause a large number of students to leave. Principal Wang was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He looked at Du Ruo eagerly.

Du Ruo asked, "Are those two old men and women the ones who came?"

Director Wang recalled for a moment and said, "There was also a young man in his twenties."

Du Ruo and Yuan Tingchuan looked at each other. They must be Han's father, Han's mother and Han Luo.

At this time, the police came over in a hurry and said to Yuan Tingchuan and Du Ruo: "Our comrades have found the Han family. According to them, they did take the two children out of here, and when they walked to the entrance of the alley in front, they were kidnapped by several men in black suits."

Du Ruo's body went limp and she almost fell to the ground. Her tears flowed wildly...

Yuan Tingchuan reached out and held Du Ruo in his arms, took out a photo, and said to the police: "I took this photo accidentally. The man in the black suit above should be related to the child's disappearance. Please check it out."

Now that we have a clue, that's great. The police hurried out. Du Ruo stopped the comrade. She calmed down and said, "It's not so coincidental. Can you guys check Han Luo again?"
