As long as she jumped, she would be free and no longer have to worry about the video being exposed or being insulted by Tao Shiming.
She knew that if she didn't die, Tao Shiming would not let her go. Just like he did every day, he would come looking for her at any time.
The appearance of Tao Shiming's wife was the last straw that broke the camel's back...
Aunt Qiu took out her cell phone and found Tao Bao's phone number. When she saw it, her tears fell even harder.
The only thing she cares about is Tao Bao and the child...
But there is no need to worry now. The children live in Hanyuan. They are Si Minghan's children. They are safe and will grow up healthily in the future.
As for Tao Bao, she will definitely be happy.
But now, she missed them very much and wanted to hear their voices...
Tao Bao was listening to the director explain the script when he turned around and saw Lin Xin coming over with a cell phone. "Tao Bao, I'm going to your office. Your phone has been ringing and it's now off."
"Director, can I make a phone call back?" Tao Bao asked.
"Okay, go ahead and take a rest first."
Tao Bao took the phone to the side and saw that it was Aunt Qiu who called, and she had called three times. What was the point of contacting her at this time?
I called back, but no one answered.
Tao Bao called again, but still no one answered.
I thought Aunt Qiu might have gone to do something else before the call went through. She would probably call back later when she saw that I had answered the call.
But during the break, Aunt Qiu didn't call me.
Tao Bao was worried and called again.
Still no one answered.
It’s strange. Why hasn’t your phone been with you for such a long time?
What puzzled her even more was that Aunt Qiu made three consecutive calls, which had never happened before.
If it wasn't urgent, you wouldn't make so many calls, right?
So why don't you pick up now...
"Tao Yuchi, can we start recording?" the director came over and asked.
Tao Bao came back to his senses, "Okay."
Stand on the stage, put the machine in place, and start recording.
Tao Bao had already memorized the script by heart, but at this moment he didn't know what to say and his mind was in a mess.
"I'm sorry, can you do it again?" Tao Bao asked apologetically.
"Can."
The recording started again. On the surface, it seemed OK, but in reality, only Tao Bao knew that his mind was wandering far away while interacting with the cute kids. He was distracted and the cards in his hand fell to the ground.
Tao Bao stared at the card in a daze.
The director had no choice but to stop filming.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Tao Bao apologized.
Lin Xin brought a glass of water to calm Tao Bao down, "Tao Bao, why are you so absent-minded? Are you alright? You never had any problems with recordings before."
Tao Bao looked at Lin Xin's worried expression, but his inner uneasiness was magnified.
She didn't know what this uneasiness was about. Was it because Aunt Qiu didn't answer the phone?
The director asked him to take a break, and Tao Bao immediately took out his cell phone to call Aunt Qiu, but she still didn't answer.
She simply called Hanyuan, and Bob answered, "Hello, this is Hanyuan."
"It's me, Tao Bao. Is Aunt Qiu here?" Tao Bao asked.
"Miss Qiu went out this afternoon and hasn't come back yet."
"What time did you leave?"
"A little after one o'clock. He said he was going shopping with friends."
"Nothing else?"
"No."
"Got it. If she goes back, ask her to call me."
"Miss Tao, do you have any?"
"I didn't."
After Tao Bao hung up the phone, he was still uneasy.
Aunt Qiu wasn't at Hanyuan, was she shopping with friends? Who were Aunt Qiu's friends? Perhaps there were some friends she didn't know about, which wouldn't be surprising.
Could it be that he called her because he wanted to go home after shopping and forgot to bring his keys?
That's not right. Aunt Qiu hates to trouble others the most. It's impossible for her to call her at work without her keys.
The director just came over and was about to say something when Tao Bao came back to his senses and said apologetically, "Director, I'm sorry, I'm a little nervous. I have to go back first and will be back in an hour!"
After saying that, he turned and ran away.
She always felt that she could only feel at ease after seeing Aunt Qiu!
Tao Bao left the TV station, hailed a taxi, and went straight back to his apartment.
After entering the residential complex and just reaching the bottom of the single-family building where he lived, Tao Bao heard a loud bang in his ears and was so frightened that he fell to the ground.
What...what fell down?
Tao Bao clutched his chest and glanced to the side in shock. Two meters away, a man lay sprawled on the ground, his face invisible, his brains smashed out. Vivid red blood oozed from his body, flowing along the edge of the flowerbed toward the center of the road. The stench of blood filled the air, irritating his internal organs.
Tao Baoru looked at the man as if frozen, his face pale, his lips trembling, and he felt as cold as an ice cellar from head to toe.
Other people in the neighborhood were alarmed and ran over, not daring to get close—
"What happened?"
“I don’t know…”
"Which floor did he fall from?"
"I don't know, and no one saw it."
"This guy is definitely useless. His brains are all spilling out..."
A sigh.
The property management arrived and immediately dispersed the onlookers, protected the scene, and called the police.
Tao Bao supported his weak body and moved forward step by step.
The property management hurriedly stopped her, "You can't go over, wait for the police... Miss Tao?" The property management was stunned when he saw Tao Bao's face.
"I... I just want to take a look..." Tao Bao pushed the property manager aside and brushed away the hair of the person lying on the ground. His hands trembled and he fell to the ground, tears streaming down his face. "Aunt Qiu... Aunt Qiu..."
The property management also saw Aunt Qiu's face and were dumbfounded. Tao Bao and Aunt Qiu often lived here and were very familiar with each other.
Tao Bao helplessly grasped the leg of the property manager's trousers with one hand, "Call...call the emergency center, have you called?"
"Call the ambulance, it will be here soon!" The property manager felt bad when he saw her grief-stricken expression. He wanted to pull her away, but he felt reluctant.
He turned around and hurriedly made a phone call to another person, "Mr. Zhang, Miss Tao is out!"
That’s right, all the property management in the community is controlled by Si Minghan.
Tao Bao wanted to touch Aunt Qiu, but she didn't dare. Tears kept falling, "Aunt Qiu is dead, the ambulance will be here soon, you will die..."
She raised her face and looked at the eighth-floor window above.
Tears rolled down from the corners of my eyes.
Why would someone fall from an eighth floor? Why? Was it an accident?
Aunt Qiu called her half an hour ago, why did she fall from the building in the blink of an eye?
Why!
Tao Bao looked at Aunt Qiu who was covered in blood and was shaking with fear.
Aunt Qiu, you must not have any such thing, you must not!
You are my only relative, please don't go out, please!
The police came quickly and looked at Tao Bao, "Who are you?"
The property management said hurriedly, "The person who fell is her family member, Miss Tao, the ambulance is here, let them take a look..."
Tao Bao was like grabbing a piece of driftwood, "Hurry up, please save her!"
The emergency personnel went to check on Aunt Qiu, checking for signs of life, and concluded, "The person must have died on the spot after falling."
Tao Bao rushed forward and grabbed the emergency personnel, "Are you kidding me? You're saying he's dead before you even saved him!"
