The Jiang family seems to have run into big trouble and the situation is quite serious.

When Gu Ranle heard this, she couldn't help but frown slightly. After thinking for a moment, she decided to call Mr. Jiang directly to find out the truth.

But before dialing, she asked, "Did the old man leave any words when he left?"

Several people looked at each other, then shook their heads to indicate no.

Gu Ranle nodded and said, "Then you guys go eat first. I'll go out and make a phone call."

It has been a long time since the last time he came back, but no matter when, Lao Zhao always keeps the yard tidy and clean.

I'll have to give Lao Zhao some bonus later.

Gu Ranle tightened her clothes and took out her cell phone.

But just as she was about to press the dial button, she suddenly changed her mind.

"Forget it, I'll just go to the Jiang family directly."

She thought that if something really happened, it would be easier to handle it if someone was on the scene, otherwise just making a phone call would be a waste of time.

Having made up her mind, Gu Ranle decided to give up the idea of ​​making a phone call.

She went back to the house and briefly explained everything to a few people, then drove out and headed straight for the airport.

On the way, she quickly booked a ticket for the nearest flight to the capital.

Before boarding the plane, Gu Ranle thought of Li Shenzhi. She was in such a hurry when she left last time that she didn't have time to tell him. She didn't go to see him when she came back this time. She didn't know when she would be able to come back if she went directly to the capital, so she decided to call him.

Unfortunately, there was a busy tone on the other end of the phone.

Li Shenzhi was probably busy and didn't answer her call.

Gu Ranle sent him a message to inform him of her schedule change, then turned off her phone and prepared to board the plane.

More than an hour later, the plane landed steadily at the Capital International Airport.

Mr. Jiang came back by car and should still be on the road.

Gu Ranle didn't alarm anyone. He just stopped a taxi and went straight to the Jiang family's old house.

In the taxi, Gu Ranle looked at the scenery passing by outside the window, feeling mixed emotions.

When I was in this world before, I felt that each day was like a year and it was very painful.

Now I can finally leave, I haven’t been back for a while, but I miss you a little.

I miss the scenery and the people here.

Before they knew it, the taxi arrived outside the Jiang family's old house.

Gu Ranle paid the fare and got out of the car.

Mr. Jiang has not been at home recently and the door is closed.

At this moment, it was almost evening, the afterglow of the setting sun gradually disappeared below the horizon, and the sky was shrouded in a faint twilight.

The road in front of the Jiang family's old house was empty and quiet, with only a few cars parked alone on the roadside. It seemed that even passers-by had hidden in their warm homes, unwilling to stop in the cold wind.

It was so quiet all around that even the rustling of leaves seemed particularly clear, creating a depressing tranquility before a storm.

Gu Ranle stood in this eerily quiet environment, and suddenly felt an inexplicable uneasiness in her heart, just like the dark cloud in the sky, foreshadowing the coming storm.

She unconsciously tightened her clothes, trying to dispel the chill.

Just then, the cell phone in her pocket vibrated at an inopportune time, interrupting her thoughts.

Gu Ranle quickly took out her cell phone, and Li Shenzhi's name appeared on the screen.

But the information did not come from him.

——Miss, Mr. has been working late at night for a while and is seriously exhausted. He is resting now. When he wakes up, I will tell him that you are here to see him. (I am Ling Chong)

After reading the message, Gu Ranle sighed softly, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

It seems that I didn’t get to see him again this time I came back.

She simply replied to Ling Chong and then put the phone back into her pocket.

Although Mr. Jiang is not at home, there is a nanny living at home.

She walked forward and gently knocked on the door.

After a while, the door slowly opened from the inside, and the figure of a middle-aged man came into view.

He was wearing an old cotton-padded jacket, with a look of surprise and confusion on his face. When he saw Gu Ranle, he was slightly stunned, and then he said enthusiastically: "Miss Lele, why are you here? Where is the old man?"

"Oh, grandpa is on his way back. I flew here directly from another city." Gu Ranle explained with a smile, a hint of fatigue in her voice.

"Oh, please come in, it's warm inside." The man quickly stepped aside with a sincere smile on his face.

Gu Ranle nodded and followed the nanny into the yard.

"Miss Lele, have you eaten? I'm preparing to cook." The nanny asked with concern.

Gu Ranle touched her rumbling stomach and smiled sheepishly: "I am indeed a little hungry."

The nanny looked apologetic when she heard this: "I made it simpler. Is soup noodles okay?"

"Of course, I'm not picky about food. Thank you for your hard work." Gu Ranle responded quickly, his tone full of gratitude.

Hearing this, the nanny smiled sincerely: "Okay, I'll do it for you right away."

As he spoke, he led Gu Ranle to the kitchen.

The kitchen is clean and tidy, and all kinds of kitchen utensils are placed in an orderly manner.

The nanny has already cut the vegetables and meat and is just waiting to stir-fry them in the pan, then boil water to cook the noodles.

Looking at the busy figure of the nanny, Gu Ranle asked casually: "During the time when grandpa was not at home, you lived alone in this big house. It must be boring, right?"

"At the beginning, I was really not used to it. I was alone all day long, without anyone to talk to. But later, Miss Wanruo and Master Jingxing came to stay for a while. With them to chat with me and relieve my boredom, life became much better. But later..."

The nanny sighed, swallowed the words back, her eyes full of sadness.

"What happened later?" Gu Ranle keenly caught the sadness in the nanny's tone and asked.

The nanny's hand holding the spatula paused slightly, as if she was lowering her head to wipe away tears from the corners of her eyes. When she spoke again, her voice was trembling a little: "It's Miss Wanruo...she encountered misfortune."

The image of that lively, cute girl with a bright smile immediately emerged in Gu Ranle's mind.

How could she...become so unfortunate?

Did grandpa rush back just for Jiang Wanruo?

"What happened?" Gu Ranle asked anxiously.

"That's it..." The nanny hesitated again, with a complicated expression.

Gu Ranle did not urge her, but just waited quietly, giving the nanny enough time to adjust her mood.

After about five minutes, the nanny finally calmed down and spoke again: "Miss Wanruo was disfigured, and...she was also violated by those beasts!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Ranle clenched his fists violently, his nails digging deeply into his palms, but he felt no pain at all.

"Uncle Chen, please tell me what happened in detail." Gu Ranle asked, suppressing the anger and grief in his heart.

Nanny Chen Shu shook his head, looking gloomy: "I don't know the details of what happened, I can only tell you what I know."

At this moment, the atmosphere in the kitchen was extremely heavy, as if even the air had frozen.

Every word the nanny said was like a sharp knife, stabbing Gu Ranle's heart.
