The sudden phone call from mother shocked him.
"Lu Jun, Nannan is missing, she's missing—" Mrs. Lu spoke incoherently over the phone, sounding like she was possessed and frantically mad.
Upon hearing that his sister was missing, Jun Ye's heart jolted with fear, but thinking back to the last time his sister had disappeared with Dongzi, he first tried to calm his mother's emotions, "Mom, calm down for a moment. Have you looked everywhere? For instance, did she go to her sister-in-law's to visit, or to find Dongzi and play?"
"No, it's not that." Mrs. Lu rambled on. She hadn't looked, but, she felt this time was completely different from the last, "Nannan always tells me when she goes out, but this time she didn't."
"Mom!" Sensing that his mother was now utterly distraught, Jun Ye, worried that his mother might have an accident in her panic, decisively cut her off, "Don't worry! I'm coming back, right now."
