Chapter 156: Chapter 156: My Daughter Is in Trouble

Boom!

A flash of lightning streaked across, illuminating half the night sky.

Chi Ying, far away in the Huo Mansion, felt her heart lurch at the thunderous noise, and hurriedly called for Xu Qi.

"Xu Qi, is there any news of Xiao Yu?"

Xu Qi, holding his phone, rushed in from outside into the great hall, looking towards Chi Ying, who was sitting on the sofa, full of worry.

"Old Madam, there’s still no news of the Young Madam. Neither from Miss Song’s place nor from the residential area the Young Madam rented—she’s not there."

Chi Ying continuously massaged her temples, trying hard to calm herself down.

"And the wedding house? Has she not returned there either?"

Xu Qi nodded, "The young master is currently staying at the wedding house. Nanny Wang said that the Young Madam did not come back last night and is still missing today, and her phone can’t be reached."

Chi Ying turned to look at the pouring rain outside the window, with worry deepening in her gaze.

"She’s not at the Nan Family’s either?"

Xu Qi shook his head, "No, they said ever since the Young Madam severed ties with them, there’s been no contact."

Chi Ying clenched the cane in her hand, then placed her other hand over her heart, looking at Xu Qi beside her.

"Xu Qi, I’m very anxious. I have this feeling that something has happened to Xiao Yu."

Xu Qi quickly tried to reassure her, "Old Madam, certainly nothing bad will have happened to the Young Madam. The young master is also arranging for people to search for her; we should have news shortly."

No sooner had he spoken than his phone began to ring.

"Old Madam, it’s the young master calling. Perhaps there’s news of the Young Madam."

Chi Ying grabbed the phone and answered it directly.

"Juanyan, have you found her?"

Huo Juanyan, on the other end, hearing Chi Ying’s agitated tone, calmly said, "Grandmother, I’ve found out some news. She went with her mother Sheng Ruomei to the Nan Family’s private zoo deep in the mountains; they are currently trapped there due to the heavy rain. As soon as the rain lets up a bit, I’ll go pick her up and bring her back."

Upon hearing this, Chi Ying felt a slight sense of relief, but was still extremely anxious.

"Juanyan, I heard that the Nan Family keeps many man-eating beasts on that mountain. I still can’t be at ease. I’ll accompany you to pick her up in a while."

The deep voice of Huo Juanyan came through.

"Grandmother, please rest assured and wait at home. Trust me, I’ll bring her back safely."

Chi Ying, touching her rapidly beating heart, emphatically instructed, "Then you must bring her back home."

After hanging up the phone, Chi Ying turned to Xu Qi, "Try again to see if you can get through to Xiao Yu’s phone."

Xu Qi nodded and immediately dialed Nan Yu’s number, calling repeatedly.

But on the other end of the phone, no one answered.

Meanwhile, at the Nan Family ancestral home.

A bolt of lightning flashed, and a colossal peal of thunder reverberated through the heavens.

Boom—

The sound jolted Duan Zhu awake from her sleep.

Duan Zhu sat up abruptly, her body drenched in cold sweat, her heart pounding with an indescribable angina.

She clutched her chest, feeling the cold dampness on her face.

Rushing to touch it, her hands found tears.

Duan Zhu’s pupils contracted, and despite the severe pain in her chest, she pulled out her phone to call Ren Xingzhou.

She couldn’t get through for a long time.

Duan Zhu, looking out at the storm and thinking of Nan Qingqing deep in the mountains, felt her unease intensify dramatically.

One phone call.

Two phone calls.

...

Countless calls later, still no one answered.

Duan Zhu’s face was pale, the anxiety within her growing stronger, and she got up from the bed.

She changed quickly into any clothes she could find and hurried downstairs to call for the driver.

"Old Qin, something has happened to my daughter. Take me to the zoo immediately."
