Chapter 2
Family
“Yunbao, call 898! The other party is your uncle. He’ll come to help you!”
It was as if someone was calling her again. Yunbao heard a certain voice, but she could not tell if it was male or female. She just wanted to subconsciously listen to it.
“898…Uncle…”
Uncle? Did she have other relatives? The voice was still urging her. The girl reached out and fumbled back and forth in the snow until she finally found the phone she had hidden.
Yunbao dialed the number in a daze and used her last bit of strength. “My name is Yunbao. My mother’s name is Gu Teng. Are you my uncle? Save me…”
In a tall building in the center of the capital.
“Ring ring ring”
The ringtone broke the silence in the room. Gu Lin, the eldest son of the Gu family, rubbed his nose unconsciously. It was his phone.
Just now, he was still scolding his seven younger brothers. Now, he had forgotten to mute his phone.
He took out his phone and was about to hang up when he saw the caller ID: Little sister!
He was a little roused. Their younger sister was the only daughter of the Gu family and the beloved daughter of their eight brothers. However, she had mysteriously disappeared five years ago and there had been no news of her since then. They had searched for her for five years but to no avail.
They did not expect that after five years, there would finally be knews about their little sister. How could they not be excited?
Gu Lin controlled his breathing and prevented himself from trembling so much that he could not answer the call. However, his heart turned cold the moment the call connected.
On the other end of the phone came the intermittent sound of a child, accompanied by the sound of wind and snow. Just the sound made the hearts of the Gu family’s eight men ache.
After the call ended, the hall fell silent again. Everyone’s expressions were gloomy.
Gu Peng, who was the youngest, could not sit still anymore. He slammed the table and stood up. “I’m going to find them!”
With Eighth Brother breaking the silence, the rest of them were also furious. They were speaking, but they acted as if they were going to get their knives.
“Don’t worry, I’ve already gotten someone to check the location. Let’s go down and get the car first!”
The eldest, Gu Lin, let out a roar to calm everyone down.
At this moment, his phone rang again. He had found the location.
Wang Wang sat in the living room. Through the window, he saw Yunbao lying motionless in the snow. There was already a lot of snow on her body. Wang Wang rolled his eyes and scolded, “Worthless thing. It’s fine if she dies.”
Five years ago, he picked up the dying Gu Teng at his doorstep. He did not expect that person to have lost her memory.
He saw that the woman’s clothes were ragged and her face was covered in dust. However, upon closer inspection, her face was also stunning. He had crooked thoughts. This child was probably conceived during that time.
Wang Wang shook his head and did not want to think about this unlucky matter. He did not know if this child was really a jinx. Ever since she was born, she had first jinxed her mother to death, then Honghong’s child to death, and now she was jinxing him.
Recently, his business had plummeted and was on the verge of bankruptcy. Therefore, he had been racking his brains to befriend high-ranking officials and nobles to save his business that was on the verge of collapse. However, he was always rejected. Coupled with Li Hong’s miscarriage, he was in a terrible fix.
The sky was about to turn dark, and Yunbao’s consciousness was also slowly fading away with time.
Am I dying? Yunbao thought.
Mommy has left me, and Daddy doesn’t like me either. I called Uncle, but there was no news. Is Yunbao really a jinx? Tears rolled down the corners of her eyes and dripped into the snow. No one loved Yunbao.
Is Yunbao going to see Mommy? Mommy, Yunbao misses you so much.
Just as Yunbao was about to faint, she felt herself being pulled into a warm embrace.
“So warm…”
After saying this, the girl fainted completely.
After receiving the call, Gu Lin hurriedly rushed to the location with his brothers. The geniuses ignored the etiquette they usually learned and squeezed into the three cars. Some even forgot to put on their coats.
“Have you notified Dad?” Gu Yu, the second son of the Gu family asked.
“Let’s talk about it after we confirm it.” Gu Lin tried his best to remain calm, but his slightly trembling hand on the steering wheel had already betrayed him.
They had been looking for their sister all these years, and their father had not given up either. He would even fly into a rage because they could not find her.
However, now that they had a clue, they were afraid. They were afraid that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. After all, the old man was already old and could not withstand the excitement of the ups and downs.
The few of them drove to the location without any mishaps. They saw that it was a villa district in the suburbs. Ignoring the security guards, they drove in.
As soon as Gu Lin got out of the car, he saw a small lump in the snow. If one did not look carefully, they would even miss her light breathing.
Gu Lin strode over with his long legs. He could not believe it, but there was indeed a small girl lying there. Her face was pale, her lips were purple, and her bare skin was covered in blood. It was a shocking sight.
However, that face was exactly the same as their sister, who had been missing for five years. Even the beauty mark at the corner of her eye was exactly the same.
Gu Lin took off his down jacket and wrapped it around the girl. He carefully hugged her.
The girl in his arms seemed to feel the warmth. Her eyes were half-open, but she could not see the man in front of her clearly.
“Are you… Uncle?”
