They were only able to find her abandoned car and phone on the side of the road, a road with no CCTVs on so it was hard to track Daniel Wu.

Ren s.h.i.+yuan has been sleepless and he was already in a mess at that moment. 

He lost trust in Nian Jiezhen's friends since they couldn't find her at once.

There was only one way to find her...

He didn't have a choice but to use them.

It has been so many years since she returned to the Ren Residence. It still looked the same as ever.

His family was living in a traditional Chinese mansion.

The servants all knew him so they quickly greeted him.

"My, oh, my. When was the last time did I saw this unfilial son of mine?" 

A beautiful woman who almost looked like Ren s.h.i.+yuan when he was in his female attire stepped down the stairs. Her short black hair was mixed with white strands. She was wearing green cheongsam. 

"Mother." Ren s.h.i.+yuan smiled upon seeing his beloved mother.

"Am I still your mother?" Sun Lingzi crossed her arms as she scoffed.

Ren s.h.i.+yuan approached her and gave her a hug, "Of course you are. I'm sorry for not visiting..."

Sun Lingzi sighed. She knew her son's bad relations.h.i.+p with his father after all. 

He was still her beloved son so she hugged him close.

"Why didn't you brought that 'fiance' of yours that I have been hearing lately?" Sun Lingzi asked as she pulled away from the hug.

Ren s.h.i.+yuan's face turned serious upon the mention of Nian Jiezhen. "I... need your help."

"I cannot help you." Sun Lingzi said without holding back. "If it help you want, you have to talk with your father."

Ren s.h.i.+yuan lowered his head. He already knew that. He was prepared on meeting his father for the sake of Nian Jiezhen.

"He's also not here." His mother said, looking at her son and just by looking at him, she knew that something serious might have happened to his fiance.

He must have really loved her so much to the point wanting to get help from his father, huh?

"But you can call him." Ren s.h.i.+yuan said, turning his gaze to his mother.

Yes, because of how the government is after his father, Ren Yuansheng, Ren s.h.i.+yuan's father has been hiding around from the government's eyes but... There was a special way to reach him out. Only his wife knew how to do that.

"Come." Sun Lingzi turned and started leading him to her husband's study room.

Ren s.h.i.+yuan quietly followed her and upon reaching his father's study room, Sun Lingzi went and took a black phone from the drawer.

"He won't help you that easily you know." Sun Lingzi said, turning to him. "Are you sure about wanting to talk to him?"

"Yes."

If there's anyone who knew how to find Nian Jiezhen as quick as possible, it was his father. His father has so many men around the place after all. 

Sun Lingzi sighed heavily upon seeing how desperate her son was. She looked at the phone and pressed a b.u.t.ton. It started calling an unknown number.

The call was ringing for a while before it finally went through.

"h.e.l.lo?" A man's deep voice was heard from the other line.

"Darling, how are you?" 

"He's there, right?" His cold voice asked.

Sun Lingzi sighed since her husband went directly to the main point. He was always like that. "Of course you knew. He wants to talk with you."

"Let me hear what he has to say."

Ren Yuansheng is a stoic and straightforward person, also a person of few words. He is someone who can only be convinced by his wife when it comes to changing his mind.

Sun Lingzi went and handed the phone to Ren s.h.i.+yuan.

Ren s.h.i.+yuan stared at the phone for a short while before putting it against his ears, "Father."

"Convince me. Why should I help you?"
