"Xiao Jie, we can only ask the police to help us locate the suspect. Otherwise, how can we rescue them?"
"But Bai Jie, trust the police! Even if you don't report it, your parents can't guarantee their safety one hundred percent!"
Yu Songyu's voice was somewhat stern. Bai Jie's father had been captured, and she felt immense pain, but there was nothing more they could do at that moment.
Yu Songyu accompanied Bai Jie to the police station to file a report. As soon as they turned on the phone, numerous messages flooded in.
Bai Jie gasped and threw her phone to the ground; even just the thumbnails of those videos were gruesome enough to drive her mad. Those were her loved ones—her caring parents. How could she bear it?
It seemed that Bai Jie was greatly affected; her expression suddenly turned blank, even somewhat dazed.
"Xiao Jie!"
Noticing that her mental state was off, Yu Songyu tightly held her hand to provide strength and warmth.
The police used Bai Jie's phone to call her father, but he was cunning and did not answer.
"Your friend doesn't seem to be in a good mental state; it would be best to take her home to rest for now. We will notify you immediately if there are any updates on the case."
"Alright, thank you for your help!"
Bai Jie allowed Yu Songyu to lead her out of the police station, her expression as calm as if nothing had happened.
Returning home was out of the question, but where could she be taken? In this world, she felt utterly alone and had no one she could trust.
"Space!"
With this thought in mind, Yu Songyu quickly took Bai Jie to a home goods plaza, where they purchased all the necessary supplies and furniture before entering the space together.
"Xiao Jie, you should rest here for now. If you're hungry, there's food and water."
Yu Songyu held Bai Jie's hand as they sat on the soft bed, while Bai Jie could only mechanically nod in response.
At that moment, Bai Jie appeared tranquil, like a wooden puppet; there was no trace of joy or sorrow on her face. She wasn't even curious about how she had suddenly arrived in such an unfamiliar environment; her gaze was vacant.
Fortunately, there was food and drink here, and it felt very safe. Most importantly, it would be easy for Yu Songyu to come and check on her.
After settling everything, Yu Songyu returned to Aunt Wang's house.
At this time, the night was deep, and the village was quiet, with every household already asleep. Yu Songyu pushed the front door with a glimmer of hope, and to her surprise, it creaked open. The light in Aunt Wang's room was still on, clearly waiting for her return. Given Aunt Wang's usual habits, she would have been asleep by this hour.
Feeling a warmth in her heart, Yu Songyu walked into the room and gently knocked on Aunt Wang's door.
"Aunt Wang, I'm back!"
She thought she would just greet her and then head back to sleep, but as soon as she turned around, Aunt Wang called out to her.
"Girl, where have you been? Why did you come back so late?" Aunt Wang wasn't scolding her; she was just concerned that as a young woman, it wasn't safe for her to be out so late.
"Aunt Wang, I was with a friend from town whose father is ill. We took him to the hospital, that's why I'm back late. I'll be more careful next time!"
Yu Songyu knew that Aunt Wang was showing her concern; it made her feel warm inside, and she didn’t find Aunt Wang’s words nagging at all.
"Oh dear, you should hurry and get some rest. Tomorrow morning I won’t wake you up for breakfast. Just sleep in and eat whenever you wake up!"
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Aunt Wang!"
"This child, don’t say thank you to me in the future; there’s no need for that!"
Yu Songyu helped Aunt Wang close the door properly before returning to her own room with a heavy heart.
