Hai Xiaotang exclaimed in surprise, "He was caught a long time ago?!"
"Yes."
"Why are you only telling me now?!" Hai Xiaotang stood up hastily, "You should have told me earlier. I have to go back now!"
The reason she hadn't returned was because her grandfather didn't want her to.
Now that the crisis was over, she could return!
At this moment, Hai Xiaotang was desperate to return; she missed her grandfather greatly.
Hua Sheng stood up and grabbed her, saying reluctantly, "Xiaotang, apart from telling you this, there is also another important matter to discuss."
"What is it?" Hai Xiaotang asked puzzled.
Then she heard him deliver news that shocked and upset her.
"A few days ago, your grandfather suddenly disappeared. Up till now, we have not found him."
"What did you say?!" Hai Xiaotang was completely stunned.
****************
Hai Zhiyuan was gone.
The people of the Hai Family searched everywhere for him but all in vain.
