At night, Chu Lingtian was lying in bed, thinking about Zhang Mei's words during the day, feeling a little flustered.
As long as he didn't hear from Mu Qing for a day, he was unwilling to think about the worst.
He took out the heart-shaped necklace with Lin Muqing's photo on it, rubbed it gently, and murmured: "Mu Qing, where are you?"
At this moment, Chu Lingtian vaguely heard a faint sobbing sound.
Chu Lingtian frowned, and after listening carefully, he found that it seemed to be coming from Niannian's room.
His expression changed slightly, he jumped out of bed and quickly went to Nian Nian's room.
He turned on the light in the room and saw the small ball on the bed trembling slightly.
His heart tightened, and he quickly walked over and gently opened the quilt covering Nian Niannian.
Under the quilt, Nian Nian was curled up into a ball and crying sadly.
Chu Lingtian quickly hugged Nian Nian and asked, "Nian Nian, what happened? Why are you crying?"
When Nian Nian saw Chu Lingtian, she stretched out her hand and threw herself into Chu Lingtian's arms. She choked out and said, "Dad, I miss my mother. Where has she gone? Woo woo woo."
Chu Lingtian patted Niannian's back and comforted her: "Dad is looking for mom. When dad finds mom, he will bring her back immediately, okay?"
Niannian raised her head, looked at Chu Lingtian with tears in her eyes, and said, "Dad, is my mother gone?"
When Chu Lingtian heard this, his face suddenly darkened.
He asked: "Who did Nian Nian listen to?"
Chu Ling was naturally afraid that Niannian would say that she felt it.
After all, there is indeed telepathy between mother and daughter.
Niannian said: "I heard grandma tell grandpa this afternoon."
"Dad, is my mother really gone?"
As she said that, Nian Nian cried even more sadly.
When Chu Lingtian heard what Nian Nian said, he felt relieved. Fortunately, it was not what he thought.
Chu Lingtian said: "Mom is fine. Mom was just hidden by bad guys in a place where we can't find her. Dad will find her. Niannian can't cry anymore. If Niannian cries again, mom will be very sad."
After hearing this, Nian Nian wiped the tears on her face, leaned into Chu Lingtian's arms and said, "Then Dad must find Mom back."
Chu Lingtian nodded and said, "I will definitely do it."
Nian Nian also slowly fell asleep with Chu Lingtian's company.
Chu Lingtian put Nian Nian on the bed, wiped away the tears on her cheeks, leaned over and kissed her forehead, then turned and left the room.
…
The next day, news spread throughout Jiangnan that several major family companies headed by the Chu family were short of funds.
People in Jiangnan started discussing it one after another.
They were all guessing what big shot those big families had offended. Otherwise, how could something happen at the same time?
At the end of the day, the stocks of companies owned by several major families plummeted.
In the office of the chairman of the Chu Group, Chu Yu, who looked tired, patted the office heavily and said angrily:
"What exactly is going on? Why did those partners suddenly stop cooperating with us? Have you sent someone to contact those partners?"
The secretary lowered his head and reported truthfully: "My staff tried to contact those partners, but they hung up the phone when they heard they were from us. We don't know what happened."
