Chapter 327: Chapter 325 Where Is It Exactly_1

"Get people down the mountain immediately!" The man didn’t have time to ask for details. He knew what mattered most—saving lives couldn’t wait a second longer!

Watching a large group head down the mountain, Su Yun turned to Su Ran, "Brother... let’s go down too..." Standing here was not helping.

Su Ran took a deep breath, silently nodded, and, holding Shanshan, turned around, then said to the disheveled Jian Manhui, "Take her back..."

Jian Manhui immediately responded, "I won’t go back; I want to search with you all..." How could she return to C City when Wanxia and Mu Yingchen’s lives were at stake?

Having heard her, Su Ran didn’t say anything else and, holding the sobbing Shanshan, started walking down the mountain.

Seeing that he didn’t object, Jian Manhui took his non-response as an agreement and followed them.

The descent was quick, and in no time, they reached the foot of the mountain.

"We’ve sent people to scout. This road here leads to the bottom of the cliff, and this one to the mid-mountain..." a police officer pointed to the two left paths while speaking to Su Ran at a crossroads.

Without a word, Su Ran headed towards the farthest left path. His heart was overwhelmed with fear; he hoped to find Mu Yingchen and Su Wanxia, but he dreaded encountering the scene he refused to picture!

At the end of the road lay a vast lake, its waters churning from the rain and flowing turbulently downstream. The clear water had turned into a murky yellow, and many protruding rocks on the riverbed were starkly conspicuous.

Seeing this, Shanshan couldn’t help bursting into tears again, "Uncle Ran, where are Daddy and Mommy, why can’t we see them..."

The little girl had always thought she would find her Daddy and Mommy at the bottom of the cliff, but all they found were raging rapids and a spread of jagged rocks.

Her small face was streaked with tears, and she cried her heart out, looking as pitiable as could be.

A chill settled in Su Ran’s heart again. With the river so turbulent and the multitude of rocks, what had become of Wanxia and Mu Yingchen? And that despicable Bai Yudie!!

"Shanshan, be good, we’ll definitely find them..." Su Ran’s words were meant to comfort both her and himself.

Everyone searched along the river, which was long and varied in width. But even by nightfall, they had found no sign of them, not even a piece of clothing or a single shoe.

The Mu Family and Su Yun’s grandfather had also arrived in a chartered helicopter.

When they heard the news, Mu Yingchen’s mother fainted and nearly didn’t recover.

Both Mu Yingchen’s grandfather and Su Yan’s grandfather, having experienced many trials in their lives, did not faint like Mu Yingchen’s mother. Yet, the mental blow aged them considerably in an instant!

"Great-grandpa... wu wu... Daddy and Mommy are missing, we’ve searched for so long and haven’t found them..." Upon seeing Su Yun’s grandfather, Shanshan immediately ran to him, releasing her fear and helplessness once more.

Yaoyao, with pursed lips, looked equally despondent. He never imagined he would hear such news before he even had a chance to call that man Daddy.

As Mu Yingchen’s grandfather and mother witnessed the scene, their hearts ached even more.

While wiping away tears, Mu Yingchen’s mother asked Su Ran and the others.

"What exactly happened? How could... how could something like this happen all of a sudden?"

As someone involved, Jian Manhui knew Su Ran was extremely agitated and immediately spoke for him: "It’s Bai Yudie..."

Upon hearing the name Bai Yudie, Mu Yingchen’s grandfather and mother were visibly shocked, their eyes widening.

But the Mu family’s patriarch was out of breath, slapping his thigh in frustration. He had said it—the look in her eyes before she left wasn’t right. He didn’t expect she would dare to do such a thing!

Mu’s mother’s expression turned to immense regret in an instant, "It was actually her!" She believed the Mu family had treated her well, but how could she commit such an act just because Yingchen would not marry her?

Had she known, she definitely would not have allowed her to stay in the Mu family, nor would she have agreed to let her get close to Yingchen.

But all the money in the world couldn’t buy foreknowledge, and no matter how much self-blame or regret filled her now, it was useless—the deed was already done...

What they needed to do now was to find them as soon as possible. Alive, they must see people; dead—they must see the body...

Looking at Shanshan crying pitifully in his arms, Su’s patriarch was filled with endless sadness. When it rains, it pours, oh when it rains, it pours!

"Shanshan, be good. Your daddy and mommy will definitely be safe. We will find them..."

Everyone’s hearts shared the same thought, hoping that heaven would hear their prayers, and that they would be safe and sound. They had to come back to take care of the patriarch and the two children. They could not afford any accidents!

"Father-in-law! I’m so sorry!" Su Ran suddenly knelt down in front of Su’s patriarch.

The elderly man had adopted him and Xiaoyun from the streets, taught them with care, and provided for them. Yet now, due to his negligence, such an incident had occurred, and he truly couldn’t forgive himself!

"Father-in-law! I’m also sorry. If I hadn’t startled that woman by firing the gun, Wanxia and the others might not be in danger. It’s all my fault!" Su Yun also knelt down in front of Su’s patriarch.

Seeing both of them like this, Jian Manhui stepped forward and knelt down too, "It’s all my fault! I failed to protect Shanshan, and that’s why so many things happened!"

Hearing her words, Su Ran couldn’t help but turn around, "It’s not your fault! It’s all because of my carelessness!"

"It’s me! It’s because I was too hasty..." Before Su Yun could finish speaking, Su’s patriarch instantly silenced them with a powerless voice, "Enough!"

"This isn’t the time to assign blame. We haven’t found them yet. What are you all doing? Get up now!"

But as soon as he had spoken, the three remained motionless.

"Xiaoran! Help Jian Man up!" Su’s patriarch lost his temper then...

In this situation, Jian Manhui was actually the most innocent one. She got tangled up in all this just because she was with Shanshan—it was in no way her fault!

Hearing Su’s patriarch’s words, Su Ran heaved a long sigh, then stood up and pulled Jian Manhui and Su Yun up with him, one on each side.

"Finding Xiaxia and Yingchen is what matters most..." Su’s patriarch looked at them with worldly-weary eyes.

"Right..." Su Ran and Su Yun nodded together.

As soon as Su Ran had spoken, the phone started ringing. Everyone’s faces turned tense with alarm as they looked at him.

Su Ran took out his cellphone and his expression turned inscrutable. Clenching his fingers tightly, he bit his teeth and pressed the answer button.

"Have you found them?"

"We found a woman’s body in the crevices of the river..."

Su Ran’s pupils dilated suddenly...
