บท 546: Who will save her now?

That same evening at the Gu Villa, everyone gathered in the living room, anxiously awaiting Lin Ran's return. The room exuded a somber and dim ambiance.

Outside the house, the sky mirrored the gloomy atmosphere indoors, with dark clouds rolling in as dinner time approached. Yet, Lin Ran was still nowhere to be seen.

Gu Zhang pursed his lips, helplessly shaking his head. "I tried calling her, but her phone is switched off," he replied.

After offering his father a helpless response, Gu Zhang turned to Xingren and asked, "Do you have any idea when your mother will return? Did she mention anything about her plans before she left this morning?"
