The Su Family called again, asking Su Ruanruan to come back.
Ruanruan had an idea of what it was about.
She brought Old Zhao with her.
As soon as they entered the house, they heard the heartbroken cries of the Su patriarch.
"My precious darlings! Who could have the heart to do this to you!"
"What if they fall into the hands of evil people?"
"If something happens to them, I won’t be able to go on living."
Old Zhao followed behind, unable to hold back his laughter.
"Your patriarch really knows how to cherish beauty."
Ruanruan replied softly, "This is not a blessing."
Old Zhao immediately swore to the heavens, "I am wholeheartedly devoted to my wife at home."
Then, Ruanruan let him be.
She walked up to the patriarch and gently comforted him, "What’s happened?"
The patriarch was more upset than if he had lost his wife.
He confided in his granddaughter, "Meili and Meibao are missing! I suspect someone wicked has taken them."
Ruanruan of course comforted him.
But Su Yugu couldn’t hold back, "You’re the only one who treasures them so, they’re not even fit to enter a club with their looks! Patriarch, you’ve seen the world in your days, how could you be fooled by these two sisters!"
Ruanruan said softly, "It’s precisely because my sisters Meili and Meibao are pure that the patriarch values them so greatly."
The Su patriarch gripped her hand firmly.
"Only Ruanruan understands me!"
The Su patriarch refused to give up on the sisters.
He said, "We must find them no matter what, they might even be carrying your little brothers or sisters in their wombs!"
The Su Family members were collectively lost for words.
Su Minghua’s aunt was also angry.
They spent hundreds of millions on these two unworthy women.
She wanted to find them and flay them alive!
So, Su Minghua’s aunt said, "Let’s report it to the police!"
Ruanruan immediately objected, "No! If they start investigating the patriarch, what will become of our reputation?"
The Su patriarch gripped Ruanruan’s hand even more tightly.
Ruanruan understands me the best!
Su Minghua’s aunt was furious, "Then what do you suggest we do?"
Ruanruan’s brows furrowed slightly.
After a moment, she had an idea, "Let’s place a missing persons ad in the newspaper under the name of relatives! I will also ask my elder brother to have his people search for them discreetly."
The Su patriarch thought it was a good idea, "Let’s do as Ruanruan says!"
The others also agreed that it was a good plan.
Ruanruan immediately set out to take care of it.
Su Minghua stood there, his expression somewhat hesitant.
Ruanruan smiled softly, "What’s wrong, big brother?"
Su Minghua hesitated before speaking, "Ruanruan, I still owe you a lot of money."
In total, about thirty to forty million.
But Ruanruan asked, "How has work been for you these past few days, big brother?"
"Well... it’s been pretty good," Su Minghua replied, his hands in his pockets.
His crumpled pack of cigarettes was squashed flat.
His fingers were trembling.
Ruanruan was extremely perceptive.
She fixed her gaze on his hand.
After a long time, Su Minghua finally said in a hoarse voice, "I don’t have any other skills! Just give me a shout if you need anything."
After speaking, his face flushed.
He hurried into the house and went upstairs.
Ruanruan stood there, not moving.
Old Zhao said slyly, "He’s not stupid after all, he’s caught on."
Ruanruan hummed in agreement.
She knew in her heart that Su Minghua had weighed his options.
He was standing by her side, or rather, he chose to protect himself.
As they got into the car, Ruanruan said to Old Zhao, "My efforts towards him were not in vain."
But the Su patriarch wasn’t so lucky.
Their disappearance made the headlines in major newspapers, and the men of Jiuye were also sent to look for them.
The whole city of Jiangcheng was turned upside down.
But there was no sign of them.
The Su patriarch was in agony.
Tears streamed down his face.
He clutched the clothes of his precious daughters, his thoughts filled with them.
