The night was relatively calm. If Fu Shinian hadn't woken up in the middle of the night to find Su Mu missing, it might have truly remained peaceful.
Sleeping pills had been added to their milk before bed, in a small dosage. Normally, Su Mu would sleep until dawn. Fu Shinian had always struggled to sleep soundly, but perhaps the exhaustion from the past half-month had finally caught up to him, leaving him drained. Because of this, he hadn't even heard Su Mu get up during the night.
When Fu Shinian woke up and realized Su Mu wasn't by his side, he broke out into a cold sweat almost instantly, not even bothering to put on his shoes as he sprinted out of the master bedroom. He didn't care what time it was or whether his voice might disturb others. As soon as he stepped out of the room, he shouted Su Mu's name loudly.
By the time he reached the first-floor living room, Jiang Bei had emerged from the guest room, her face full of anxiety:
"What's wrong?"
