Chapter 330 Learning that they were released
Mengmeng stepped down the last step, looked back to see that Gu Yunshen had not followed, and then turned and walked towards the basement.
As she drew closer, her heart pounded faster and faster. Stopping in front of the door, she reached out and tentatively opened it.
However, when she tried to open the door, it was locked and she couldn't.
How did Sweetie manage to open the door? Did she have a key to the basement?
Mengmeng let go of her hand and looked up curiously at the second floor.
Gu Shiyu then arrived at Gu Yinshen's door, knocked, and waited for the door to open from the inside.
"Yin Shen, it sounds like someone is knocking on the door?" Ruolan lay on the bed, her body slightly raised, her gaze shifting from the clock hanging on the wall to the door.
Gu Yinshen lifted a corner of the blanket and moved out of it. He tucked the blanket around Ruolan and said, "Lie down properly, don't catch a cold."
"Go and see who's knocking on the door," Ruolan urged anxiously.
It's so late, they must have something important to do to come here.
Gu Yinshen opened the door and looked at Gu Shiyu standing outside, his face full of doubt. "Shiyu, why aren't you resting so late?"
"Dad, is now a good time? I have something to tell you." After Gu Shiyu finished speaking, his gaze passed over Gu Yinshen and landed on Ruolan.
Mengmeng said that the person who left the basement was a woman. It is not yet clear who was locked up there and was rescued by Tiantian. He does not intend to let Ruolan know about this.
"Dad, let's go to the study. It's not convenient here," Gu Shiyu said softly.
Following his gaze, Gu Yinshen glanced at Ruolan, who was trying to get out of bed, and quickly stopped her, saying, "Ruolan, if there's nothing wrong, don't get out of bed."
Upon hearing this, Ruolan stopped in her tracks as she was lifting the blanket.
"Mom, I don't quite understand some of the theoretical homework and I'd like Dad to give me some pointers," Gu Shiyu explained to Ruolan inside the room.
"I see." Ruolan's heart immediately settled down.
If it were Tian Tian or Meng Meng standing at the door now, she might run over the instant the door opened. But with Shi Yu there, she felt that nothing bad would happen because of his presence.
Lying back on the bed, Ruolan watched as Gu Yinshen closed the door.
The two entered the study, and Gu Yinshen asked anxiously, "What happened that you can't let your mother know?"
"Is someone being kept locked in the basement all this time?" Gu Shiyu asked bluntly.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yinshen's face instantly darkened. "How did you know?"
To prevent Ji Mengran from disturbing or agitating Ruolan, he locked her in the basement.
Gu Yinshen looked at Gu Shiyu and tentatively asked, "You went to the basement?"
“It wasn’t me,” Gu Shiyu said. “It was Tiantian.”
"Who are you talking about?"
"Sweetie opened the basement and let the people inside out."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yinshen immediately denied it incredulously, saying, "Impossible. Only I have the key to the basement. Without my key, no one can open that door."
"Dad, it's all true! If you don't believe me, check if you still have your keys."
Ji Mengran was locked in the basement, and only he knew that. Now that Gu Shiyu knows, it must not be unfounded.
Following Gu Shiyu's instructions, Gu Yinshen turned around and went to the bookshelf, reaching out to skillfully take the book with the key hidden among the many books.
Just by holding the side of the book, he could feel that the key was still inside.
"Dad, do you still have the keys?"
"exist."
Gu Yinshen opened the book with both hands and showed it to Gu Shiyu.
"There's only one key in the basement, so without it, no one can open that door."
"Could it be that Tian Tian found your key in the study, opened the door, and then put it back?" Gu Shiyu wondered.
Since they were able to release the person, they must have a foolproof plan.
Given that Sweetie was indeed home alone for a long period of time today, she had every opportunity to carry out the plan perfectly.
Gu Yinshen felt uneasy. He turned around, took the key, and left the study.
Gu Shiyu hurriedly followed, and the two of them walked downstairs together.
As I went down the stairs, I bumped into Mengmeng who was going upstairs.
"Dad, brother!" Mengmeng greeted.
Seeing Mengmeng still downstairs so late, Gu Yinshen asked in confusion, "Why aren't you resting so late?"
"She just came down to drink water because she was thirsty," Gu Shiyu explained for her.
Hearing this explanation, Gu Yinshen said to Mengmeng, "Go upstairs and rest quickly, don't catch a cold."
"Okay, Mengmeng will go back to her room now." Mengmeng passed by the two of them and walked up the stairs one step at a time.
Gu Shiyu turned around and glanced at Mengmeng. He guessed that she had not only gone downstairs to drink water, but also to the basement.
Anxious to confirm whether Ji Mengran was still in the basement, Gu Yinshen didn't wait for Mengmeng to fully walk to the second floor before he eagerly headed towards the basement.
In order to find out the truth, Gu Shiyu was unwilling to be a step too slow and miss what he shouldn't have missed.
Holding the key, Gu Yinshen opened the basement door and looked at the empty basement. Now he completely believed what Gu Shiyu had said.
"She actually managed to escape!"
"Dad, who is locked up inside?"
"It's Ji Mengran!"
Gu Yinshen continued walking inside, hoping to find some clues in the room.
However, apart from Ji Mengran, who should have been inside, being absent from the large basement, there was nothing else unusual.
When Gu Shiyu learned that it was Ji Mengran, he was not surprised. On the contrary, he thought that she should be locked up in this dark and sunless place.
"What do we do now? If she escapes, she'll definitely cause trouble," Gu Shiyu said worriedly.
Gu Yinshen had long been worried about what he was talking about. Otherwise, he wouldn't have risked keeping Ji Mengran locked up in the Gu residence.
"Dad, let's contact someone to bring her back as soon as possible!" Gu Shiyu urged.
Bringing his thoughts back, Gu Yinshen immediately took his phone out of his pocket.
He made a call, contacting bodyguards and private investigators. Even if it meant turning the entire city of Jiangcheng upside down, he was determined to bring Ji Mengran back.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Yinshen said to Gu Shiyu, "Your mother can't know about this for now, otherwise, if she gets a shock, something terrible will happen to her."
"Don't worry, Dad, I understand," Gu Shiyu assured him.
"Okay, let's go upstairs and rest first. If we stay too long, your mother will start to get suspicious."
"it is good."
The two returned upstairs, and Gu Yinshen went back to his room, whereupon Ruolan pressed him for answers.
"You're back so soon? You've solved all of Shi Yu's problems?"
"It's just a small assignment for a practical class. Our son is smart; he understood it after just a few pointers."
