Chapter 849: Chapter 833 Something is Wrong Chapter 849: Chapter 833 Something is Wrong “What’s wrong?”
Gu Ning handed Dabai back to Tang Zhinian, who hurriedly blew on his grandson again, the pair whispering about who knows what.
Finally, Dabai stopped fussing, but still kept turning to look at the window, his eyes almost never leaving it.
Tang Yuxin took out her cell phone and dialed Ren Li, unsurprisingly, it was still turned off.
“I have a bad feeling.”
A sense of unease had plagued Yuxin’s heart ever since Ren Li left, leaving her with not a moment’s peace.
She had some confidence in her ability to perceive things; it was an instinct that she had come with since her rebirth.
Especially when they were informed that Ren Li and Tang Xincheng would not be coming back, and with Ren Li’s phone continuously turned off, her suspicion grew that something was terribly wrong.
It was unlike Ren Li to behave in such a way, too abnormal.
No matter what, Ren Li wouldn’t leave with just a message delivered by others, neglecting her home and her father.
And no matter how busy she was, she would always think of Dabai.
Between her and Zhinian, both vying to hold Dabai, she was not his biological grandmother, but she loved Dabai dearly.
And now, including Ren Li, it was like the people of the Ren Family had suddenly disappeared, leaving her heart in a state of anxiety these past few days.
Gu Ning followed Yuxin’s gaze.

“Someone over there?”
“Yes,” Yuxin nodded, “I’m almost certain.
Even if it’s not my aunt, it could be someone else.
Dabai wouldn’t lie.
He is most afraid of being punished, and now he isn’t afraid, even of a beating, insisting that his grandmother is there.”
Her voice paused, then she continued.
“I’d rather take a risk than have regrets.”
“Breaking and entering?”
Gu Ning asked her again, “Are you sure?”
“Yes, sure,” Yuxin had not wavered, trusting both Dabai and her own instincts.
As for breaking and entering, well, so be it.
If they really did break in, what of it?
Ren Li would take the responsibility.
Who let her leave without a word, to not return without notice?
Her Dabai has been on the verge of tears and has taken several beatings in vain.
The beatings Dabai got were not for nothing; they did not drive over for nothing.
“Let’s check it out,” Yuxin walked to the door, pulling at it, “Is this easy to get into?”
“Not hard, I work in this field.
Most locks aren’t a problem for me.”
Gu Ning took off his coat and handed it to Yuxin; he grabbed the door and leapt over effortlessly, his movements extremely agile, almost like flying.
In a few breaths, he had disappeared from sight.
Dabai’s mouth hung open in amazement; he seemed stunned by the sight of his dad flying through the air.
So his dad could fly?
But why couldn’t he?
Meanwhile, Gu Ning had already reached the Ren Family’s courtyard.
It was unclear how he did it, but no matter how tough the lock or the door was, he seemed to bypass it without effort.
With a click, the door opened.
“Grandma, Grandma…” Dabai stretched out his little finger toward the door, “Wants Grandma to hold him.”
“Okay, I want grandma to hold me.”
Tang Zhinian went along with his grandson’s words, coaxing the child into good behavior.
After all, at this point, no matter what Gu Ning did, he wouldn’t interfere, as long as his grandson was being good.
As Tang Yuxin walked in, the deeper she went, the more she felt an indescribable oddness emanating from the Ren Family home.
It was too quiet, eerily silent to the point of being deathly still.
This damned Ren Family, where on earth had they taken her aunt and brother?

With a creak, the door inside opened, and the light from outside shone in, revealing an almost completely deserted space.
It was just as Tang Yuxin had said, too quiet, so quiet that it made one’s scalp tingle involuntarily.
The door opened wider, letting in more light, and through that light, the Ren Family’s antique-styled hall was visible, along with a leather sofa set, and another one blocking the doorway.
What was this for?
In their own home?
Tang Yuxin narrowed her eyes.
The Ren Family couldn’t be so strange as to block their own door.
Unless, there was some unspeakable secret hidden here.
Naturally, Gu Ning noticed the strangeness of the sofa too.
Who in their right mind would block a door with a sofa?
If there were people inside, did they not want those inside to leave, or did they not want others to enter?
Clearly, they didn’t want anyone inside to come out, otherwise, the sofa would be blockading from the inside, not the outside.
“I’ll push it open.”
Having said that, Gu Ning rolled up his sleeves and walked over to the sofa.
With little effort, he moved the sofa aside.
He pushed the sofa to one side, then came back and placed his hand on the doorknob.
With a gentle twist, the door opened easily.
Of course, whether there were people inside or some “grandma,” they would know once they entered.
However, Gu Ning couldn’t shake the feeling that what he was doing was a bit excessive.
Was he feeling like a thief?
But there was no going back now, they were already here and couldn’t just leave.
And as the door swung open, there was nothing inside, no sounds, no footsteps, not even the sound of breathing.
“Grandma, Grandma…”
Gu Dabai stretched out his little hand, wanting to go inside, and Tang Zhinian, with no other option, had to pick him up, otherwise, the child wouldn’t be able to stay put.
No sooner had Gu Dabai gained his freedom than he began to toddle quickly inside.
“Grandma, Grandma, Dabai is here,” he called out while running, his small figure vanishing at the entrance.
Before the adults even entered, his infantile voice could be heard continuously from inside.
“Grandma, why are you lying down?
Grandma, can you hug Dabai?”
“Grandma, Dabai missed you so much.”
“Grandma, why are you crying?
Dabai doesn’t cry.”
Tang Zhinian’s heart lurched in sudden shock, and he almost tumbled as he rushed inside, while Tang Yuxin and Gu Ning exchanged looks and followed him in.
When they entered, they were stunned by the scene before them, struck dumb and driven to the brink of madness.
They saw a woman lying by the window, a woman who was almost skin and bones.
Her hair was tangled into knots, her clothes unrecognizable in color, her face a sullen shade of blue and gray, as if she was on the brink of death.
