"They went straight to the Police Station and asked the police officers for help."
A hint of laughter showed in Xiao Xiao's voice.
This was behavior worthy of praise from the two children.
"Huh."
Zhuge Yun grinned.
"They really are two clever children."
"Mm."
Zhao Luzheng nodded.
This turn of events had genuinely caught him by surprise.
He had thought it would be a story about two children getting themselves lost while trying to find their missing grandmother...
"Hey."
Zhang Bo noticed something off.
"Where are the children's parents?"
Zhang Bo looked puzzled.
"So many people had gone missing from the family, and they hadn't noticed?"
Wasn't this... a little too slow on the uptake?
Xiao Xiao's eyes curved slightly.
"They weren't at home."
"...Huh?"
That answer had been somewhat unexpected again.
Zhang Bo and the others looked at one another.
"They weren't home?"
"On a business trip?"
"No way..."
The family had left two such young children and an old woman... who wasn't suited to looking after children?
Grandma Tian needed someone to look after her herself.
How could she possibly keep an eye on two children who were still so naive and clueless?
"No."
Xiao Xiao shook his head.
"They had just gone to the neighbor's place downstairs."
"Since it was so close, and their phones were charging, they hadn't bothered unplugging the chargers and taking their phones with them."
"They thought they were only going downstairs to discuss something..."
"They hadn't expected an accident to happen."
"Ha~"
Zhang Bo shook his head.
"Sometimes, that's just how things are."
"The less you think something will happen, the more likely it is to happen..."
"So sometimes, people can't rely too much on luck."
"Taking things for granted makes accidents more likely."
