Oddly enough, she felt an air of melancholy surrounding her home.
Hai Xiaotang's gaze flickered, then she rang the doorbell.
The door quickly swung open. The housemaid, Zhang Ma, lit up in surprise and delight at seeing Hai Xiaotang, "Miss, you're back!"
Seeing her, Hai Xiaotang felt a sudden pang of distress.
Fighting back tears, she nodded, "Yes Zhang Ma, I've returned!"
Zhang Ma, tears welling up in her eyes too, said, "Miss, it's so good to have you back. But the old master... he…"
"Zhang Ma, I came back because I heard Grandpa disappeared! Why would he suddenly vanish? What happened?" Hai Xiaotang asked anxiously.
"We're not sure. All I know is that the day after young Master Dongfang came to see him, the old master drove away and never returned!"
Hai Xiaotang looked shocked, "You mean, Dongfang Yu visited him and then he disappeared?"
Zhang Ma nodded, "Yes. But there was a photo left in the old master's study room that none of us can understand."
"What photo?!"
