CHAPTER 132: CHAPTER 132: UNCLE IS MISSING

Ye Anxin explained with heartache, "Uncle, to anyone, a mother is not just a shell; besides the grace of giving birth, there’s also the grace of nurturing! As children, we should remember their kindness and repay it!"

Mu Beiting asked matter-of-factly, "What is the grace of nurturing?"

"Uncle, don’t you know what the grace of nurturing is?" Ye Anxin looked at Mu Beiting, puzzled.

For someone like Mu Beiting, who has received a higher education, she absolutely couldn’t believe he didn’t know what the grace of nurturing was.

Mu Beiting responded firmly, "I don’t know!"

"The grace of nurturing is the kindness of parents raising their children. When we were young and couldn’t take care of ourselves, it was our parents who cared for us without expecting anything in return! When we got sick, it was our parents who tirelessly stayed by our side night and day! When we faced setbacks, it was our parents’ encouragement that helped us stand up again! There are so many examples, but in short, parents are indispensable in our lives. Isn’t there an ancient saying? The gratitude for nurturing is greater than the heavens! That saying explains everything!" Ye Anxin explained with patience, hoping he would understand.

Ye Anxin thought that as long as she carefully guided and explained, Mu Beiting would understand!

However, as soon as she finished speaking, she clearly noticed a change in the man beside her.

Not only did Mu Beiting not understand, but his face looked even worse than before! His entire being was shrouded in darkness, and his expression was as grim as a demon walking out of hell, as if everything around him was about to be devoured by him.

Realizing something was wrong, Ye Anxin tentatively called out, "Uncle?"

"Stop the car!" Mu Beiting suddenly commanded, and the driver immediately slammed on the brakes.

Mu Beiting shook off Ye Anxin’s hand from his arm, opened the car door, got out directly, and then slammed the door shut forcefully.

"Uncle!" Ye Anxin wanted to chase after him, but heard Mu Beiting outside the car order the driver without turning his head, "Take Madame back!"

The driver obeyed, and just as Ye Anxin was about to get out of the car, he locked the door and drove away.

Ye Anxin was so anxious, she said eagerly to the driver, "Driver, stop the car, I need to find Uncle!"

The driver glanced at Ye Anxin through the rearview mirror and said, "Madame, Sir is angry right now; it’s better not to go, or it will only make him angrier!"

Ye Anxin was not very reassured and said, "But, but, I can’t let Uncle be alone!"

The driver said, "Madame, don’t worry! Sir will be fine, I’ll come back here to pick him up immediately after dropping you off!"

Ye Anxin felt like a deflated balloon, collapsing weakly on the back seat, and asked helplessly, "What happened to Uncle? He was fine just a moment ago, why did he suddenly get so angry?"

Having been with Uncle for so long, although he often got angry, he was always easy to appease, never losing his temper like this before?

Did she say something wrong just now, causing Uncle to get so angry?

The driver gave no comment on Ye Anxin’s response!

Though he had been with Mu Beiting for years, he never dared to speculate on Mu Beiting’s thoughts! He just needed to do his own job well.

Ye Anxin leaned against the backrest, biting her lower lip in frustration, wishing she could slap herself.

Thinking of Mu Beiting standing alone on the street, she felt extremely uncomfortable.

No, she couldn’t leave Uncle alone, absolutely not!

She had promised to stay with him forever.

Thinking of this, Ye Anxin made up her mind and quickly said to the driver, "Driver, please go back, I need to find Uncle!"

"Madame!" the driver said awkwardly.

"Hurry up, that’s an order!" This was the first time Ye Anxin spoke in a commanding tone.

She was too anxious, wanting desperately to see Uncle right away, to apologize to him, to tell him she didn’t mean it.

Always known for her gentle and mild demeanor, it was rare to see her so determined; the driver, although momentarily stunned, still obediently turned the car around and drove back the way they came.

In no time, they returned to the place where Mu Beiting had just gotten out of the car.

Before the car even came to a complete stop, Ye Anxin eagerly opened the car door and ran out.

This was a not-so-big street, as it was in the suburbs, so it was relatively secluded and there were few pedestrians. Under the dim streetlights, only a few cars occasionally passed by, and sometimes a few young couples walked hand in hand under the lights.

The entire street was eerily silent.

After getting out of the car, Ye Anxin looked in the direction Mu Beiting had walked and searched, but after going around, she still couldn’t see any sign of him.

Ye Anxin immediately became anxious, hurriedly taking out her phone to call Mu Beiting.

The phone got through, but no one answered.

Ye Anxin grew even more anxious!

This was the first time Uncle didn’t answer her call! No matter how angry Uncle was before, he would always answer her calls! But not this time!

No matter how many times she called, Mu Beiting just wouldn’t answer her calls.

Helpless, Ye Anxin had to send Mu Beiting a text message!

The result was predictable, it was still like a stone sinking into the sea.

In desperation, Ye Anxin had to keep making calls while searching for Mu Beiting under the streetlights.

After searching the area, she still couldn’t find any trace of Mu Beiting! Helplessly, Ye Anxin returned to the business vehicle, knocked on the driver’s window, and said anxiously, "Driver brother, Uncle is missing. I’ve looked all around and can’t find him. Please get out of the car and help me search! Call me if you find him!"

Hearing this, the driver quickly opened the car door, took a glance at the deserted street, and comforted, "Madame, don’t worry. Sir might just be upset and is hiding somewhere to clear his mind. I’ll go look for him!"

Ye Anxin nodded, "Okay! Let’s search separately!"

The driver shook his head and quickly said, "Madame, it’s getting dark, and this place is isolated. You should wait in the car! I’ll search and will call Madame once I find him! What if Sir is found and Madame gets into trouble herself?"

"There’s no one here, what could happen! I’ll search with you, more people make it easier!" With that, she ran off without heeding the driver’s objection.

The driver wanted to stop her, but it was already too late; Ye Anxin had disappeared in an instant.

The street was quiet; on the left was the sidewalk, and on the right was a patch of dark woods! Ye Anxin stood on the street, looking into the woods, seeing only a dense patch of darkness with nothing visible.

Feeling apprehensive, Ye Anxin took out her phone and dialed Mu Beiting’s number again.

In such a quiet place, if Uncle really was in the woods, he would definitely hear his phone ringing!

Therefore, she first called Uncle.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the call connected, a melodious ringtone came from the woods.

Delighted, Ye Anxin didn’t think twice, she immediately turned on her phone flashlight and walked into the woods.
