At this moment, in order to accompany Gu Wan wholeheartedly to relax tomorrow, Si Yehan has already rushed back to the company in advance, determined to finish all the work for tomorrow this afternoon.

At the same time, after changing his clothes and watering the balcony garden, Gu Wan rushed to the company without stopping.

However, there was a question that always lingered in her mind:

Why did Jin Ling, who was originally so arrogant and domineering, suddenly restrain himself the moment he saw Si Yehan?

Even when he splashed juice on her face from behind, she didn't dare to say a word.

This question left her puzzled.

But she knew in her heart that neither Jin Ling nor Si Yehan could tell her the reason.

"There's no solution anyway, why think so much about it?"

Gu Wan comforted himself.

Fortunately, after going out, she put the problem that had been bothering her behind her.

The afternoon passed quickly, and around five o'clock, Lou Yue sent Gu Wan back to Yunyuan safely.

When Gu Wan got home, the first thing he did was to confirm whether Si Yehan was at home.

Although she saw that Si Yehan's shoes were not placed at the door when she first stepped into the house, she was still worried. She walked to the door of Si Yehan's room lightly and leaned over to listen to the movements inside for a long time.

When Gu Wan was sure that there was no one in the house, a big stone in her heart finally fell to the ground. She breathed a sigh of relief and murmured to herself in a low voice:

"Fortunately, we should be able to make it in time."

Before she finished her words, she walked briskly towards the kitchen.

It turned out that Gu Wan came back half an hour earlier than usual today because he couldn't forget the delicious food he brought back from the Pearl Hotel in Hai City last night.

The reason why she specifically checked whether Si Yehan was at home was simply because she was worried that this "roadblock" would prevent her from cooking.

Time passes quietly, without stopping for a second.

However, even after Gu Wan had enjoyed a sumptuous dinner and bathed, there was still no sign of Si Yehan returning home.

While wiping her wet hair, she glanced at the clock. The hour hand was approaching eleven o'clock in the evening.

In the past, Si Yehan would usually return home on time around 6:30 in the evening, but now it was almost midnight and there was still no sign of him.

Gu Wan was suspicious and couldn't help but mutter:

"Strange, why hasn't Dad come back so late today? Did he have a quarrel with Uncle Wu again?"

Gu Wan didn't dare to call Si Yehan rashly. After thinking it over, she finally decided to call Assistant Wu.

After the call was connected, Gu Wan hurriedly asked:

"Uncle Wu, is Dad in a good mood today?"

Uncle Wu's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Not bad, Miss Gu Wan."

Gu Wan breathed a sigh of relief, but then asked again:

"Is the company having any social events tonight?"

"No, why do you ask?"

Assistant Wu was a little confused.

Gu Wan hesitated for a moment and said softly:

"It's nothing, it's just that it's already eleven o'clock in the evening and my father hasn't come back yet. I'm a little worried, so I thought of asking. After all, he usually comes back around half past six."

"This is unscientific. I clearly saw him driving away from the company at around 8 o'clock in the evening. Let's put it this way, Miss Gu Wan, don't worry. I'll call him right away to see what's going on."

"...Oh, okay! Thank you for your help, Uncle Wu."

Gu Wan responded gratefully, but his heart was still in turmoil.

"Strange, why am I so nervous?"

Time passed by bit by bit, and every minute and every second felt extremely long to Gu Wan.

She waited anxiously for Assistant Wu to call back, but the phone never rang.

Not only that, when she tried to call the other party again, the only response she got was a busy tone.

With no other options, Gu Wan decided to call Si Yehan directly.

However, when she dialed the number, she heard a cold reminder tone:

"Sorry, the user you dialed has turned off the phone. Please try again later. Sorry..."

At this moment, Gu Wan felt increasingly flustered and uneasy.

"Could something really have happened to my father?"

A terrible thought came to her mind and she couldn't help but mutter to herself.

"Could it be that because of what happened at the restaurant at noon, Dad was retaliated by Jin Ling? No, that's not the case... I must be overthinking it."

Gu Wan tried hard to convince herself, but the worries deep in her heart could not be shaken off.

Her anxiety made her pace back and forth in the room, as if every minute passed as long as a year.

At about half past twelve in the morning, Gu Wan's cell phone finally rang.

She quickly picked up her phone to check and found that the caller ID was Assistant Wu, so she quickly pressed the answer button.

"Uncle Wu, have you found my father?"

Gu Wan asked impatiently, his voice full of anxiety and worry.

"Gu..."

However, before he could finish his words, the person on the other end of the line suddenly hung up, and the call came to an abrupt end.

When Gu Wan called Assistant Wu again, he found that the other party's phone was also turned off!

This made Gu Wan panic instantly. She felt her heartbeat suddenly quicken and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Without giving it any more thought, she hurriedly dialed the police number.

When she heard the police's voice coming from the other side, she calmed down a little, but her voice was still trembling:

"Comrade officer, I want to report a crime."

The policeman asked gently:

"Ma'am, what case do you want to report?"

Gu Wan took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and replied:

"My father has lost contact now, and I want to seek help from the police."

The police continued to ask:

"May I ask how long he has been out of contact?"

Gu Wan frowned and thought carefully, then replied:

"It should be more than four hours."

The police officer paused for a moment, as if thinking about something, and then asked:

"So how old is your father? Does he have any physical or mental illness?"

"My father is 32 years old this year. He is very strong and pays attention to exercise. He has no physical problems. He also does not have any mental illness."

Gu Wan quickly explained.

After listening to Gu Wan's description, the police officer was silent for a moment, and then told her in a serious tone:

"Well, I'm sorry, ma'am. According to the information you have provided, the missing person is a middle-aged man who is in good health and mental state.

According to relevant regulations, we can only formally initiate an investigation after a missing person has been out of contact for 24 hours.

Therefore, we regret that we are unable to file a case for you for the time being. Please wait patiently for a while. If you have other clues or situations during this period, please contact us in time. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. "
