The richest man's parents were kidnapped, and his adorable son captivated the entire family.

Chapter 344 Arranging a Private Investigator

"What happened? Why are you all so serious?" Gu Yinshen was amused by Mengmeng's adorable appearance.

The tension I felt earlier eased after Mengmeng was willing to tell me, and I no longer felt the initial tension and worry.

"Dad, it's about Sister Sweetie."

"Tiantian?"

Gu Yinshen's face instantly darkened.

He had assumed Mengmeng was preoccupied because she had encountered some minor trouble at school. But upon hearing that the reason for her distress was Tiantian, his mood instantly plummeted from pleasant to irritable.

Seeing that Mengmeng didn't know how to start the conversation, Gu Yinshen prompted, "What bad thing did she do at school this time?"

Mengmeng shook her head, "Daddy, it's not school."

"Not a school?" Gu Yinshen was even more puzzled.

She spent the whole day at school, but nothing about school. Did she sneak out of school again today?

That's not right either. If she left school, the teachers would definitely call her parents immediately. His phone didn't ring all afternoon, and there were no calls from unknown numbers.

Gu Yinshen looked at Mengmeng and asked, "Mengmeng, don't be nervous or afraid. Tell Daddy the truth about what you know, and Daddy won't blame you."

"Will you be angry with Sister Tiantian?" Mengmeng couldn't help but ask.

More than being blamed herself, she's worried that her father will dislike Tian Tian more and more. She wants everyone to be happy together every day, instead of having bad relationships and being unwilling to communicate with each other.

Seeing Mengmeng's preoccupied look, Gu Yinshen knew that the events that had occurred since Tiantian returned to the Gu family had placed a heavy burden on Mengmeng's fragile heart.

Half of this pressure comes from Tian Tian's unfriendly interactions, and the other half comes from them.

Ruolan was so focused on Tiantian that she didn't notice Mengmeng's little mood swings at all. Because of Tiantian, Ruolan's bad mood was unknowingly transferred to Mengmeng.

Now, because of him, he's neglecting Tian Tian. Mengmeng is so understanding; she must think it's because of her that he doesn't like Tian Tian.

"Mengmeng," Gu Yinshen called out earnestly.

“Dad, you don’t need to say anything, Mengmeng already knows.”

"You know? What do you know?"

Gu Yinshen couldn't help but ask in return.

The more sensible she seemed, the more his heart ached for her.

Bringing her back from the orphanage was partly to let her truly feel family affection, so that she could stay by Gu Shiyu's side and help him get out of his predicament.

Later, Gu Yinshen became increasingly grateful to Mengmeng for everything she did for the Gu family, thanking her for her existence.

Seeing that Mengmeng hadn't managed to tell her that Tiantian had already left in a taxi, Tangtang hurriedly exclaimed, "Uncle Gu, Mengmeng actually wanted to tell you that Tiantian just left in a taxi."

"What?" Gu Yinshen looked at Tangtang in disbelief, then turned his gaze to the wicked Mengmeng. "Is what she said true?"

Mengmeng nodded, then recounted the details word by word, "As soon as the school bell rang, Sister Tiantian rushed out of the classroom. By the time Tangtang and I came out of the classroom, we couldn't see Sister Tiantian anymore. Then, as we walked outside, we saw Sister Tiantian come out of the side door and get into a taxi and leave."

"Just watch them leave in a taxi?" Gu Yinshen asked.

"Mmm," Mengmeng and Tangtang nodded in response.

Gu Yinshen was neither curious nor interested in her activities, but he couldn't resist Ruolan's attention to her.

He took his phone out of his pocket and made a call. He briefly explained the task in a few words, then hung up and said to Mengmeng, "Okay, you don't need to worry about her anymore."

"Daddy, do you know where Sister Sweetie went?" Mengmeng asked curiously.

He made the call, but hung up after saying only one sentence, without giving the person on the other end of the line even the slightest clue.

Looking at Mengmeng's innocent questioning expression, Gu Yinshen touched her chubby cheeks. "I don't know, but the people Dad sent out are very capable. Even if they don't know anything, they can still find her."

“I know,” Tangtang raised her hand and said, “That’s called a private investigator!”

Gu Yinshen listened and asked with a smile, "How did you know?"

"My dad used to contact private investigators too, that's what he told me," Tangtang said, and Tang Yibai appeared beside her. He listened to Tangtang's words vaguely, looking curious.

"What private investigator?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Tangtang immediately ran towards Tang Yibai, "Daddy!"

With a lift of his arm, he picked Tangtang up and held her in his arms.

"What were you saying just now?" Tang Yibai asked curiously.

Faced with Tang Yibai's curiosity, Gu Yinshen took the initiative to explain, "Mr. Tang, it's like this. I just called a private investigator to inquire about some things, and Mengmeng was curious, so Tangtang explained it to her."

Upon hearing this, Tang Yibai immediately responded, "Is that so? No wonder she suddenly became interested in private detectives."

"It's nothing, we'll be leaving now."

"Alright, I won't keep you from taking Mengmeng back any longer, Mr. Gu."

When Tangtang heard that Mengmeng was leaving, she waved her arms reluctantly at Mengmeng, "Mengmeng, see you tomorrow."

"Okay, Tangtang, see you tomorrow!" Mengmeng raised her hand in response.

Once back in the car, Mengmeng looked at Gu Yinshen and asked again, "Daddy, is a private investigator more capable than Mengmeng's little butterfly?"

Even butterflies can find each other by smell. Does that mean private detectives also find each other by smelling?

After bending down to fasten Mengmeng's seatbelt, Gu Yinshen explained, "Private investigators are a profession. After receiving a task from the other party, they will devote all their time and energy to the task in a short period of time, trying their best to complete the task assigned by the other party in the shortest possible time."

But Mengmeng's butterfly is different; she's more skillful and takes less time.

After hearing this, Mengmeng was even more confused.

Since her butterfly is more powerful, why did her father choose a private investigator instead of her little butterfly?

After having doubts, a look of disappointment appeared on Mengmeng's face.

"Mengmeng?" Gu Yinshen sat back down, noticing Mengmeng's downcast mood.

"Daddy, my little butterfly can also find Sister Sweetie, so why not use my little butterfly and choose a private investigator instead?" Mengmeng said aggrievedly.

Upon hearing that this was the reason for his unhappiness, Gu Yinshen's tense emotions instantly relaxed.

“Dad felt sorry for Mengmeng, so he chose a private investigator.”
