Susu was in the office of her studio when she saw another call from Daisy's mother on her phone. She thought Daisy hadn't been contacted yet and wanted to ask if she had.
"Auntie, I also tried to contact Daisy, but I couldn't. Did you call the police?"
Daisy's mother's tone was much more relaxed. "Fortunately, I didn't call the police. Daisy just contacted me and said she's fine. She went to a mountain temple where the signal is poor, so her phone isn't very useful. She contacted me from a landline."
"That's good." Susu thought she had indeed found a quiet place. "Did she say which mountain or which temple?"
"She didn't say. I asked too, wanting to go there to be with her. But she said it was too far from Lancheng and she was afraid the journey would be too tiring and her body couldn't handle it."
Susu asked again, "Did she say when she would return?"
"She didn't say either, just that she'd come back when she felt better."
Susu asked curiously, "But she's pregnant. She can't get prenatal check-ups at a mountain temple. What if something happens?"
"Exactly, exactly. Xi Xi is too inconsiderate like this." Daisy's mother was also worried about this.
Susu said, "Can you send me the landline number she called from? I'll try to call that landline and contact her again. If I can find out the specific location of the temple, I'll drive to pick her up."
"Okay, that would be great." Daisy's mother thanked her. "Susu, you're working too hard."
"Auntie, it's nothing. Please wait for my news with peace of mind."
After the call ended, Daisy's mother sent the landline number to her phone.
Susu tried to call the landline several times but found it was always busy and she couldn't get through at all.
She suddenly thought of asking Su Kangxi for help to check where this number was from.
Generally, when applying for a landline, the address and subscriber information would be left at the telephone exchange.
She sent the number to Su Kangxi first and explained the situation. Su Kangxi agreed to help her check as soon as possible.
By the time she got off work, Su Kangxi had replied.
"Sister Susu, are you sure this number is from a temple far from Lancheng?"
"Yes, Daisy's mother gave it to me. It's not wrong." Susu felt his tone was off and asked, "Is there a problem?"
Su Kangxi said, "That's strange. I checked, and this landline number is a local Lancheng number. It was registered by someone named Wu many years ago. This person has also passed away, but the landline number has never been canceled. Over the years, there have been occasional phone bills, indicating that this landline is not used much."
Susu gasped, surprised by this.
She asked, "You said the earliest subscriber was surnamed Wu. Was this person male or female?"
"It was a male. When he registered the landline, his ID showed he was in his thirties. He later died in an accident. Nowadays, this landline is probably being used by his family."
Susu couldn't figure out what was going on. Was the number mistaken?
After Su Kangxi hung up, she confirmed the landline number with Daisy's mother again. It was not mistaken.
Moreover, Daisy's mother was very sure it was Daisy's voice, and Daisy had spoken to her normally.
Susu didn't know what the problem was. She could only ask Su Kangxi to help her check the address left by the person who originally registered the landline.
Su Kangxi promised to reply to her tomorrow.
Susu had no choice but to go home after work, but she was still a little worried. Had something happened to Daisy?
Was she threatened, or did she have some unavoidable reason?
Although she had contacted her mother, she hadn't told the truth.
Perhaps she was still in Lancheng and hadn't left for another place?
Thinking this, she couldn't stop worrying about Daisy.
Tianyi noticed she seemed preoccupied. After she told him, he said, "Don't worry about Daisy's matter. I don't think this is as simple as we first thought. Now that I know the situation, leave it to me to investigate."
"Do you think Daisy is in danger now?"
Tianyi said with certainty, "I don't think she's in any danger, but if you continue to meddle in this matter, you will be in danger yourself."
"Why do you say that?" Susu didn't quite understand what he meant.
Tianyi smiled and said, "I think she just wants some peace and quiet, and wants you to know she's safe. She doesn't want to reveal her true location."
Susu thought about it and felt that what Tianyi said made sense. It was probably the reason.
Daisy hadn't recovered from her grief over Huangfu Shaohua's matter.
After Susu went to take a bath, Tianyi thought about the earliest landline subscriber being surnamed Wu, which likely had something to do with Wu Xiufang.
This matter was actually quite simple. Wu Xiufang had lost her only son, and Daisy was very likely pregnant with Huangfu Shaohua's child.
She naturally wouldn't let Daisy's pregnancy go unchecked. She wanted to confirm if the child in Daisy's womb was her grandson and also wanted custody of the child.
Therefore, before Daisy gave birth to this child, regardless of whether Daisy was coerced, she wouldn't be in mortal danger for the time being.
Not only would she not be in danger, but Wu Xiufang or someone from the Huangfu family would also take good care of her and the child in her womb.
However, if the Huangfu family discovered that Susu was investigating or meddling in this matter, it would make them resent Susu even more, and they might do something unfavorable to Susu.
He would not allow such a situation to happen!
He would secretly investigate Daisy's whereabouts to see if he could help her.
They said goodnight to each other as they lay in bed. When it was time to sleep, Tianyi once again cautioned her not to get involved in Daisy's affairs.
Susu hummed and closed her eyes. She always felt that Tianyi knew something but was unwilling to say more, intentionally hiding something from her.
But if Tianyi told her not to get involved, there must be a reason.
She felt she shouldn't be too nosy. Previously, because she was too nosy, she had made an irreversible mistake, and she didn't want such a thing to happen again.
...
The next day, Su Kangxi replied to her, informing her of the address previously registered for the landline owner. She forwarded the address directly to Tianyi to see what he would say.
Tianyi replied via text message, "Received. You don't need to worry about this address. It's just an address casually left by the first owner. Perhaps he had already transferred this landline to someone else, and there's nothing special about it."
"Okay, I understand." Susu replied, also stating that she would no longer be involved.
Tianyi was relieved to see that Susu was not as stubborn as before when encountering problems. However, he immediately sent someone to investigate this address.
As far as he knew, the Wu family, which started in trade, had all died except for Wu Xiufang.
In this way, Wu Xiufang's father had believed the fortune teller's words, and it turned out to be true. Wu Xiufang was indeed a bane to the Wu family.
Before Wu Xiufang's father brought her back, the Wu family's trading company was thriving and was the largest trading company in Lancheng.
However, after Wu Xiufang got married, not only did the business decline, but the Wu family members also died in successive accidents. It was truly baffling.
