"Gu Kai, let my father go. This matter is between us; it has nothing to do with them. If you have the guts, come at me..."
Beep——
The line suddenly went dead. Shen Ruo quickly redialed, and just as she was about to shout into the phone, she heard her mother's voice.
"Hello, who's this?"
"Mom? Why is it you?"
"Ruoruo! Ruoruo, where are you? Can you please come back quickly? Mom needs you right now."
Shen Ruo's mother's voice, sad and pitiable, immediately brought tears to Shen Ruo's eyes: "Mom, is there anyone else at home?"
"No, why?"
That was strange. Gu Kai had clearly been on the phone just now, hadn't he? Shen Ruo had a sudden realization—could he have switched her home phone line, just waiting for her to call back?
If that were so, her father's disappearance must have been Gu Kai's doing.
She hadn't anticipated that her flight would lead Gu Kai to do such a thing.
"Mom, I already know about Dad's situation. Don't be upset; I'll come back right away."
