Su Jiu pursed her lips. She could tell that her father was deliberately changing the topic, which meant that something had really happened to Auntie Song.
Rong Si was not so easily fooled. He calmly looked at Su Shengjing. “Uncle, did something happen to my mother?”
A hint of guilt flashed past Su Shengjing’s eyes. He laughed dryly. “No, why would anything happen to your mother? Don’t think too much.”
“Something happened to her.” Rong Si’s voice was unusually calm, and his tone was full of certainty.
Su Shengjing was speechless.
The brat in front of him looked like a little adult right now. His dark and deep eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, and his gaze was heavy.
Wait, heavy?
Su Shengjing suspected that he was hallucinating.
The kid is a six-year-old child. Where is this pressure coming from?
Su Jiu tugged the corner of Su Shengjing’s shirt and eagerly said, “Daddy, Big Brother is really worried about his mother. Just tell him. Even if you want to hide it, you can’t hide it for long.”
Despite Su Jiu’s young age, her words made sense.
Sheng Tianci had just told Su Shengjing about Song Wanqiu and asked him not to tell Rong Si for the time being. However, Su Shengjing couldn’t hide the truth for long. Even if he didn’t tell Rong Si the truth today, he would have to tell him the next day.
Su Shengjing sighed and could only tell the truth. “Something did happen to your mother. How about I bring you back now?”
Rong Si wanted to go back, of course. He immediately nodded. “Thank you, Uncle.”
Su Shengjing looked at him with a complicated gaze. This child was much more mature than other children. Su Shengjing might be able to coax other children with a few words, but he definitely could not do that with this child.
He did not know how Rong Si would face the news about his mother.
Su Shengjing said goodbye to the production crew, then carried Su Jiu to the parking lot. Rong Si followed them. After getting to the car, Su Shengjing opened the door and got in.
Rong Si wished he could see his mother immediately. Suddenly, he regretted going to the movie set and leaving her at home alone. If only he had stayed by her side, no matter how small he was, he might have been able to protect her!
Su Jiu sat beside him and looked at his downcast eyes. The little villain seemed to be in low spirits, and she comforted him softly. “Big Brother, don’t be sad. We haven’t seen Auntie yet. Maybe she will be fine when we see her later!”
Rong Si looked at her and met her big, round eyes. They seemed to encourage him. He nodded automatically.

Two hours later, Su Shengjing reached the capital. Remembering what Sheng Tianci had said over the phone, he drove straight to the police station and stopped by the roadside.
Rong Si looked at him, puzzled. Why did he bring us here? Is Mom inside?
Su Jiu was also puzzled and curiously asked, “Daddy, why are you here?”
Su Shengjing’s eyes flickered. He turned to look at Rong Si, who was sitting in the back seat, and said to him, “Your mother is inside.”
Rong Si was stunned.
The bad feeling in his heart grew stronger.
After entering the police station, he saw Sheng Tianci pacing back and forth in the reception hall.
Sheng Tianci seemed troubled and had a frown on his face. Hearing the commotion, he turned around and saw Su Shengjing. He said in surprise, “Why have you guys returned?”
