Chapter 376 Madam Duan Disappears
Chapter 376 Madam Duan Disappears
Duan Yu felt somewhat strange. After picking up a piece of egg pancake and stuffing it into his mouth, he called out to the new Wang Ma, "Wang Ma, Wang Ma, where is my grandma?"
"Why didn't you get up so late today? Are you sleeping in or are you sick?"
Although Wang Ma was a new person who took care of Madam Duan's daily life, she was also a long-time employee of the Duan family who knew her well. However, she had always been in charge of the household logistics.
She placed the congee with preserved egg and lean pork in front of Duan Yu, then stepped back a few paces. "Young Master, the Old Madam did indeed stay up very late watching TV dramas last night."
She'll probably sleep a little longer now, I'm not sure. The old lady says I don't need to wake her for breakfast; she has to wake up naturally.
Upon hearing this, Duan Yu thought about it and agreed, "Alright, let's wait a bit longer."
After saying that, he lowered his head and scooped up the freshly cooked, piping hot congee with preserved egg and lean pork.
Duan Yu loves eating preserved egg and lean pork congee the most, and he always enjoys it immensely.
But today, for some reason, nothing I eat feels right.
The Duan family's chefs are still the same group, so how could this be?
He frowned as he ate.
Wang Ma brought over another plate of pan-fried buns. Seeing Duan Yu's expression, she asked, "Young Master, is the food not to your liking?"
Duan Yu shook his head, took out a tissue to wipe his mouth, and stood up. "No, it's delicious. I'll go see my grandma first, and then I'll eat later."
Just as he took a step, Qin Shuyao came in from outside.
She's been exhausted and extremely busy these past few days participating in the talent show.
She finally managed to find a little time and rushed over to see her grandmother, whom she had missed dearly after not seeing her for several days.
For some reason, the first thing I saw when I came in was my cousin rushing around.
He hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Where's Grandma?"
Duan Yu continued forward, "Grandma hasn't woken up yet today, I'm going to check if she's feeling unwell."
It's normal for elderly people, especially those who are quite old, to feel dizzy and lightheaded; they really need someone to care for and comfort them.
Upon hearing this, Qin Shuyao followed Duan Yu's steps, "Oh, well, I'll go take a look too."
The two jogged all the way to the door of Madam Duan's room.
First, Duan Yu knocked on the door. "Grandma, are you awake? You seem a little sleepy today. Are you just wanting to stay in bed?"
Qin Shuyao knocked on the door as well, "Grandma, I'm back. I got the autograph from Actor Su that you asked me to get. I'll give it to you in a bit."
"Are you feeling unwell? I'll ask my aunt to come and check on you."
The two cousins called out in turn, but there was still only silence coming from inside.
How could the two of them not panic?
Perhaps realizing something was wrong, Wang Ma took out the room key and said, "Open the door and take a look."
At this moment, he didn't care whether he could go in and call her. Duan Yu grabbed the key and opened the door.
The opening shocked everyone present.
Qin Shuyao rushed in first, and all she saw was a bed with bedding that looked like it had been used the night before and hadn't been tidied up. Everything else was empty.
Looking around the room again, there wasn't a soul in sight.
"Where's Grandma?" Qin Shuyao asked, rummaging around and even opening the bathroom door.
Duan Yu was equally full of questions, "Grandma."
Wang Ma, standing behind her, said, "I've been on the first floor since this morning, and I haven't seen the old lady go out. What's going on?"
No one was more nervous than Duan Yu at this moment.
The memory of his inexplicable appearance at Jinxiu Manor late at night a few days ago flashed through his mind, causing him to tremble inexplicably.
His grandmother wouldn't be like that either...
Thinking of this, he instructed Qin Shuyao, "Shuyao, call my uncle and aunt for me, I need to check the surveillance footage."
Qin Shuyao nodded, her eyes already reddening. "Okay, okay."
She knew about her cousin's witchcraft incident, and at that moment she was so flustered that she couldn't control herself.
He quickly took out his phone and called Song Beiyou.
Calling Song Beiyou is like calling your own uncle.
Song Beiyou always answered calls from his own people immediately, "Shuyao."
Qin Shuyao couldn't hold back any longer, "Grandma is gone, there's no one in the bed at all."
"almost there."
After those three concise words, the call was disconnected.
Get up, wash up, and get dressed in a very short time before leaving the room.
Just then, Yan Dong and Gu Panpan were both in the living room. When they saw Song Beiyou come out, they both realized that something was wrong.
After all, Imperial University is on holiday, and it's currently the beautiful summer vacation period. On weekdays and weekends, Song Beiyou would sleep until noon.
"Something happened?" Gu Panpan asked.
Song Beiyou started putting on her shoes. "Old Madam Duan is missing."
"I go!"
Upon hearing the sound, Yan Dong and Gu Panpan immediately put down what they were doing and followed Song Beiyou.
Half an hour later, Duan Yao and Song Beiyou arrived at the Duan family's old house at the same time.
Upon seeing his uncle and aunt, Duan Yu anxiously asked, "Just like last time, the surveillance video can't find anyone. Is it Han Xinyue again?"
Duan Yao waved his hand, and Yan Li stepped forward. "Third Master, I have checked the surveillance footage throughout the capital, but I haven't found any trace of the Old Madam yet."
"Alright." A sinister glint appeared in Duan Yao's eyes as he clenched his fist, wishing he could kill Lou Yue immediately.
"Find out where Lou Yue is," he said.
Yan Li was quick. "Third Master, I've found out. Lou Yue just arrived at Han's Group."
Song Beiyou looked at Duan Yao, "Go find her."
She also strongly suspected it was Lou Yue, who was Han Xinyue who had plastic surgery to look like her.
However, she couldn't find out where Old Madam Duan had gone, and she felt that she was being seriously disturbed.
Therefore, she needed Duan Yao to meet Lou Yue, to provoke her, and to see if she could find any loopholes to investigate the old lady's whereabouts.
Although the old lady is in good health, she is still quite old. Being treated well is one thing, but what if she is mistreated?
Song Beiyou didn't explain the reason, but Duan Yao understood immediately, "Okay."
After replying, he turned and left with Yan Li.
Seeing this, Duan Yu also wanted to follow.
Both uncle and nephew had long wanted to find Lou Yue.
Duan Yao, in particular, had never disliked a woman so much; Lou Yue was one of the rare exceptions.
No wonder she only wanted to distance herself from her mother from the moment she was brought into the house.
Of course, Duan Yao and Song Beiyou were both well aware that they had no direction at the moment, and Lou Yue was just a guess in their minds.
Further investigation is needed to determine the specifics.
I just hope we can find it soon; the elderly are different from young people, they can't wait.
With Duan Yao gone, only Song Beiyou, Gu Panpan, and Qin Shuyao remained at the Duan family's old house.
Gu Panpan began to arrange a compass array in the old Duan family mansion according to the old lady's birth date and time, so as to better awaken the old lady's consciousness of returning home.
Song Beiyou then called Bai Lao from Qingshuihe and asked him to come to the capital as soon as possible.
Time waits for no one, and everyone must do their part.
