Li Xiyue and Du Guixiang have not returned home.
Cheng Xiaohui stood at the door, gazing at the end of the alley.
Li Wenbo would occasionally come out and call his wife to come home and rest, but Cheng Xiaohui stubbornly refused to come back.
Her daughter had finally come home, and although she felt relieved, she still had a vague sense of unease, as if something was about to happen.
As darkness fell, the last rays of the sun faded, and the entire earth was shrouded in a hazy darkness.
Cheng Xiaohui panicked completely. She said to Li Wenbo, "Why hasn't our daughter come back yet? This isn't right."
Before my daughter left, I told her I'd make dumplings for her and Du Guixiang that evening, and she even told me she wanted the three-delicacy filling!
Li Wenbo is panicking now. Logically speaking, if Li Xiyue hadn't come back, she definitely wouldn't have let Cheng Xiaohui prepare the meal!
He added, "Don't worry, wait at home. I'll go to the school to find Teacher Du and ask if Du Guixiang has returned yet."
He unlocked his bicycle with the key and rode it to the university.
Fortunately, their home isn't far from the university; it only takes about ten minutes to get there.
Du Jingshan spent the entire afternoon in class, going from one classroom to another.
He now schedules all his classes into one day so he can have the whole day to do his own thing.
He had just finished tidying up his lesson plans and stepped out of his office when he saw Li Wenbo hurrying upstairs.
Upon seeing Du Jingshan, Li Wenbo didn't even have time to greet him before asking, "Teacher Du, has Guixiang returned yet? She went out with my daughter this afternoon, but neither of them has come back!"
Du Jingshan was taken aback. He said, "They haven't come back? I haven't seen my sister either."
Li Wenbo said, "I hope nothing has happened to them. My daughter was in a car accident just now..."
This feeling was terrible. Once bitten, twice shy. He was afraid that Li Xiyue would get into another car accident.
Du Jingshan said, "No, if something were wrong, it shouldn't be that both of them are in trouble. One of them would always come back to report! Don't worry, I'll go look for them."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Xiao Li from the telephone room rushed up to call Du Jingshan.
"Teacher Du, there's a phone call for you. It's from the police station!"
Du Jingshan said, "Thank you. I'll go answer the phone now. Did the police officer at the station say what happened?"
Xiao Li said, "They asked if I knew Du Guixiang. I remember your sister's name is Du Guixiang."
Du Jingshan ran straight downstairs and headed straight for the telephone room.
Upon hearing news of Du Guixiang, Li Wenbo followed Du Jingshan.
If there's news about Du Guixiang, then there should be news about Li Xiyue too!
Du Jingshan ran into the telephone room and picked up the receiver.
He said, "Hello, I'm Du Jingshan. Are you looking for Du Guixiang? She's my sister."
The voice of a police officer from the local police station came through the phone.
"Are you Du Guixiang's brother? We found a wrecked car on the highway, and there was a military green canvas satchel inside."
There was a medical university student ID in the bag, with the name Du Guixiang written on it.
Du Jingshan said, "Yes, yes, my sister is a medical student. She has a student ID and a small military green backpack. The car was smashed? Where are the people in the car?"
The police officer said, "We don't know where the person went. The car window was smashed and the car door was open."
Passing cars noticed something was wrong with the vehicle and went to our police station to report it.
Who did your sister go out with today? Who did she meet?
Li Wenbo quickly took the phone and told the police officer about the situation that day.
It's clear that Du Guixiang wasn't the only one who went missing; Li Xiyue was also missing. The two of them probably just went to the printing factory, and this road leads home towards the city.
The police officers comforted Li Wenbo, saying, "Don't worry, let's go around the neighborhood and see if anyone who happened to see what happened."
Based on the situation at the scene, it appears that the glass was violently broken, and the people inside were dragged out and taken away...
Li Wenbo hung up the phone and slumped into a chair, his legs weak. How was he going to explain this to his wife when he got home?
What is the current situation of his daughter?
Seeing that Li Wenbo was not in good condition, Du Jingshan personally took Li Wenbo home.
Because he was afraid of upsetting Cheng Xiaohui, he and Li Wenbo made up a lie on the way. He told Cheng Xiaohui that Li Xiyue and Du Guixiang had gone to their house to play and wouldn't be coming home that night.
When Cheng Xiaohui heard Li Wenbo say this, she believed Li Wenbo's explanation.
Given how close Li Xiyue and Du Guixiang are, it's perfectly normal for her to visit Du Guixiang's house!
Moreover, she hoped that Li Xiyue's relationship with the Du family would grow closer and closer. If Li Xiyue also got along well with Du Jingshan's parents, then it would be only natural for Li Xiyue to marry Du Jingshan in the future!
She said to Du Jingshan with great joy, "Why didn't this girl tell me? It was my first time visiting your house, and I didn't bring you any gifts!"
Du Jingshan said, "Auntie, there's no need to bring any gifts. Yue'er and Guixiang are so close, they visit each other all the time, so there's no need to bring gifts."
I'm going home now to visit my parents and cook for Yue'er!
Cheng Xiaohui didn't dare to delay Du Jingshan, so she told him to drive slowly and be careful on the road.
She watched Du Jingshan's car disappear from sight before turning around and walking into the small building.
As she walked, she said to Li Wenbo, "Feelings need to be cultivated. Now Yue'er is getting closer and closer to the Du family. I think it's only a matter of time before Yue'er marries Du Jingshan!"
However, after she finished speaking, Li Wenbo did not give her any response.
She patted Li Wenbo's arm and said, "What are you thinking about? Did you hear what I said?"
Li Wenbo stammered, "I heard you, I heard you, you're right."
This phrase is applicable everywhere and at any time; it will never be wrong!
Cheng Xiaohui said, "What do you mean I'm always right? I feel like you weren't even listening to me."
Li Wenbo said, "How could I not listen to what you say? Are you hungry? I'll go cook you some dumplings."
I cooked all the dumplings, and I'll fry them for Yue'er when she gets back.
He changed the subject; his mind was in turmoil, and he had no interest in thinking about what Cheng Xiaohui had said.
Cheng Xiaohui said, "Okay, I'll do as you say. I'll make dumplings for Yue'er when she gets back."
She and Li Wenbo went to the kitchen together and cooked all the dumplings they had made, then set them aside.
The cave was pitch black; you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.
Li Xiyue's X-ray vision allowed her to see the entire cave. Two people were guarding the entrance, while everyone else was asleep, including Du Guixiang, who was also sound asleep.
A smile curved her lips as she immediately set up a spatial portal...
