Sioux City as a typical southern city.

It can feel wet and cold in the winter time.

Gu Baisheng's room was heated and the air was humid though.

Yet, she still felt the house imprisoned her like a wet, cold cage.

In the evening, looking out the window - overcast and gloomy - and thinking about the fog this morning.

Couldn't help but sigh softly.

Megu stood next to her.

Seeing her walking back and forth by the -bed-, refusing to stop for a moment, she asked, "What's on the young lady's mind?"

Gu Baisheng was clearly annoyed in his heart.

But with a small smile on his face, he shook his head and lied, "No."

Mei Gu lowered her eyes, seeing that Gu Baisheng was lying.

Without poking at it.

Young Master Song Frost came over in a hurry and also left in a hurry.

But it was a day in Sioux City to settle the matter of the boy, and then he hurried back.

Now, the young lady is left alone in the Su family again.

It's only natural that the young lady would have something on her mind.

Especially in mid-pregnancy, the mood swings are awesome.

"If the young lady is bored, why don't you take a walk over to the old lady's side?"

In the old lady's courtyard, few idle people came in.

Inside on weekdays, apart from the servants, it was the old lady and her, with occasional guests.

She hardly recognized any of them.

And also avoided.

Now that Auntie Mei had asked her to find the old madam, she suddenly felt that that old madam was actually quite unfamiliar.

For once upon a time, she was not as close to this old lady as she is today.

Smiling slightly, she said, "Auntie Mei go and stay with Grandma, I'm a bit tired and want to sleep for a while."

Gu Baisheng wasn't willing to let Mei Gu keep following her around and accompanying her to spend her time in boredom.

So let Auntie Mei go to the old lady first.

Auntie Mei wasn't quite sure about her.

Gu Baisheng, however, smiled, "I'll call out to you if something happens."

In the place where she lived, there wasn't just one servant, Meigu, but two younger ones as well.

If she needed it, any one of them, she could have called over.

Mei Gu knew that Gu Baisheng wouldn't tell her even if she had something on her mind, so she nodded and went to find the old madam.

Only after Mei Gu left did Gu Baisheng let out a long sigh and sat down on the rocking chair next to the floor-to-ceiling window.

A thin cashmere rug was laid under the rocking chair.

Gu Baisheng sat on the rocking chair, and stepped into old age a little early, shaking the rocking chair in a boring way, his eyes lazily looking at the scenery outside.

It was overcast, so the afterglow of the setting sun was blocked.

The sky grew dimmer by the minute as time went on.

She narrowed her eyes.

Suddenly I feel that such a life today is as boring as a glass of plain water that has been sitting for days.

And himself, like a bird trapped inside a gilded cage.

On the surface, they live in wealth and comfort, but in reality, there are no friends or circles around them.

Aunt May was a servant, watching over her and guarding her, but never her family.

Grandma was her family, yet, vaguely, not so dear as to have no secrets.

The thought of this suddenly made her mood suddenly and unexpectedly irritable.

Fingers moving, she lifted her hand and looked at it.

Can't help but think of the old days.

These were the hands that were supposed to be holding the scalpel, the hands that appeared under the shadowless light.

But now, she can only live day after day, like a whining woman, looking forward to her husband welcoming her home.

In the back of her mind, there was a voice that cried out that something wasn't right.

Everything about this present-day life is wrong.

Incorrectly, it reminded her of her first pregnancy, the sleepy, sad and depressed days at home, awaiting labor in fear.

Get out.

Escape!

The voices in her heart, the thoughts in her head, all urged her body to respond in this way.

With her white, beaky teeth, she couldn't help but bite her lip.

After all, he couldn't resist the sleepy, irritating air that filled the room and sat up straight from his rocking chair.

...

The sun was completely gone into the horizon.

Four hours later.

It was inside the small courtyard that Gu Baisheng lived in that the Lin family exploded.

Old Lady Lin looked at Gu Baisheng's room and had Aunt Mei carefully look for it, but she didn't even find any silhouettes, and she instantly became furious.

"How do you serve?"

Old Lady Lin was an old woman of the Lin Family, a Su City family.

Even if he was on fire, he wouldn't be angry to the point where his entire face was grimacing.

However, just looking at the old madam's gloomy eyes, with a face as heavy as water.

One could see that the old lady was angered.

Mei Gu also blamed herself a bit, "It was my carelessness, old madam don't be angry, we'll be able to get the young lady back soon."

The old lady's eyes glanced at Meigu.

The heart can't help but think of the child who didn't make it back for adoption.

"You guys go find it and make sure she's safe."

She's getting old.

But the brain is not yet old and broken.

The matter of that child in the orphanage had been known to her very well.

Someone arranged for that kid to deliberately come near his granddaughter-in-law.

Although she didn't know the exact identity of the person who had arranged this, she could, however, understand that her granddaughter-in-law had been targeted by someone.

So, at the moment this granddaughter-in-law suddenly disappeared.

She's the one who feels worried.

Mei Gu looked at the old lady's gloomy face and knew that the old man had thought it through.

"Old Lady, the Young Lady will be fine."

Auntie Mei comforted the old lady.

Although the old madam had a high regard for Mei Gu, who had followed her for many years, at this moment, she chided, "You have been too negligent in your work."

Mei Gu knew that she was in the wrong and could only tell the truth,"Yes, I was negligent, I won't be so negligent next time."

The old lady wrinkled her brow tightly.

The moment she didn't get this grandson's daughter-in-law back, her heart couldn't rest for a moment.

This kid, where the hell has he been?

She went out on her own?

Or were they abducted by someone?

The Lin family in Sioux City was busy looking for someone.

Over there, Xiao Rong sat in the back seat of the cab and saw one car after another coming out of the Lin family in Su Cheng.

Just smiled and asked the driver driving in front of him, "This side is the upscale villa area in Su City?"

"It's the Lin family," the driver looked at the cars, a little envious and a little strange, "On this piece of land, there are only the Lin family's villas, how come the Lin family drove out so many cars at this late hour?"

"Is there a banquet party?"

"Can't it," the driver also has some age, born and bred in Su City for so many years, grew up listening to the gossip of those who are rich in the city grew up, "this side is the old lady of the Lin family's residence, the old lady usually live in deep simplicity, will not get this kind of lively dinner party and so on, and ..."

He looked at the cars and said, "Look at these cars, all of them are from the Lin family, all of them are the cars of the Lin family's old lady, not the cars of the guests outside."

"So many cars out so late, could something have happened?"

Xiao Rong guessed.

The driver can not understand,"I did not hear what happened ah, besides, the accident is not one or two cars will be enough to use it, this next out of seven or eight cars, with the police to arrest people like ..."

"Police Arrests ..."

Xiao Rong heard the adjective chauffeur and thought about it briefly.

Immediately, he said, "Stop the car, I'll make a phone call."

The driver wasn't sure what call Xiao Rong was trying to make, but nevertheless, he stopped the car as Xiao Rong had said.

After the car stopped, Xiao Rong, however, did not go to make a phone call as she had said earlier, but raised her hand and typed something on her cell phone.

The driver looked at him a few more times in the rearview mirror.

Mostly because he's better looking than all the passengers he's ever carried.

But Xiao Rong clearly didn't like his strange gaze.

So, at one point the driver peeked at him.

Xiao Rong raised her eyes and met the driver's gaze.

The driver was alerted by the indifference in his eyes and hurriedly withdrew his gaze, not daring to continue sneaking glances at him.

Xiao Rong saw that the driver withdrew his eyes.

Only then did he settle down and wait for a reply from the person he was chatting with.

That's right, Xiao Rong didn't choose to call Gu Baisheng.

After thinking and deliberating, he still chose to send a message to Gu Baisheng.

If the Sioux City Lin Family, really did send out multiple cars at this time, it was either to attend a banquet, or to search for someone.

And the reason why the police were not called to look for her was because, probably, they knew she hadn't gone far.

Or maybe it's been found out that she left on her own.

Inside this old mansion of the Lin family in Su City, the only people living there were Old Lady Lin and Gu Baisheng.

It's impossible for Old Lady Lin to have suddenly wandered off.

Because Old Lady Lin was accompanied by servants.

Gu Baisheng, on the other hand, was different.

Though she was accompanied by servants as well.

However, this place was ultimately unfamiliar to Gu Baisheng.

Besides, she was in the middle of her pregnancy and was prone to mood swings.

In case something goes wrong, leaving in the middle of the night is quite possible.

So it was highly likely that Gu Baisheng had gotten lost.

"Are there any major bookstores around here?"

He suddenly raised his eyes and asked the driver in front of him.

The driver heard him ask and hurriedly answered, "Yes, there's a Viva Commercial Plaza with a very large underground bookstore."

"Are there many people there?"

"More, it's a big mall, and during the holidays, all the students in the neighborhood head that way."

Drivers are especially familiar with these places.

So open your mouth and answer.

"Let's go there then."

The driver hurriedly nodded and drove Xiao Rong to that commercial plaza.

In the eyes of the driver, Xiao Rong is also a very strange person.

It had been sitting in his car since after noon and had been circling Sioux City all afternoon.

Don't care at all about expensive cab fare.

Just let her keep driving around the Sioux City area, taking the occasional picture of Sioux City buildings.

It seems to be familiarizing itself with the city.

It was late in the evening before he suddenly gave this address and asked him to drive over.

He was just a driver, and it wasn't good for him to speculate exactly what kind of thoughts were in this passenger's mind.

Looking at it this way, however, it felt that the passenger had a definite plan in mind.

When Xiao Rong arrived at the Weihua Plaza that the driver had mentioned, he opened the door and got out of the car.

Lift your eyes and look ahead.

Sure enough, the whole square was crowded.

The dining signage is also very visible.

There were various stores at the entrance handing out flyers.

Xiao Rong raised his step forward, before he could take two steps.

The cell phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.

He frowned and took his cell phone out of his pocket.

Sure enough, someone from the branch called again.

He cuts off the phone.

Just about to put the phone's resting screen back in my pocket.

Only to find, on the screen of his cell phone, a message alert.

It was a message from Gu Baisheng.

'Have you come to Sioux City?'

She asked.

Xiao Rong smiled a little and replied, 'Yeah, I'm shopping at the mall in Sioux City.'

After replying, send her over a location.

A few seconds later, Xiao Rong got Gu Baisheng's reply as expected.

'What a coincidence, I'm in this mall too, on the third floor.'

The smile on Xiao Rong's lips deepened.

"I'll get you."
