At this moment, Mr. Chen, who was standing to the side, also began to express his opinion.

"Okay, then let's leave it at that for now. After Ningxue and I get back to the company, I'll have my mom cook for us, and then we'll have someone deliver the food to us," Chen Ling said.

Chen Ling thought that what his parents said made a lot of sense. He could eat out casually on his own, but Ningxue couldn't follow him around and eat whatever she wanted anymore.

"Okay, sure," Mrs. Chen said with a smile.

“But I rarely cook now. I just cook when I feel like it.” At this moment, Chen’s mother continued to speak.

"Mom, you mean that normally, Aunt Yang does the cooking, right?" Chen Ling continued, picking up where his mother left off.

“Yes, now it’s mostly your Aunt Yang who does the cooking. Your dad and I usually just tell your Aunt Yang what we want to eat, and she’ll make it,” Chen’s mother continued.

“Okay, that works. When I asked Aunt Yang to come and help, I wanted her to cook for you so you wouldn’t be so busy all the time,” Chen Ling said to his mother.

Chen Ling thought that the main reason for inviting Aunt Yang over was to help them, so it was only right that Aunt Yang cook lunch.

“So it’s not troublesome at all, is it?” At this moment, Mr. Chen suddenly spoke up again.

Before Chen Ling could speak, his mother continued, "It's not like Sister Yang's cooking is troublesome at all. Even if I were to cook, it would just be a matter of making more or less. Well, even if they don't eat it, we still have to eat it, so what's the trouble?"

“Yes, yes, you’re absolutely right, that’s exactly how it is. See, I didn’t say anything, did I?” Mr. Chen said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes," Mrs. Chen kept repeating to Mr. Chen.

So you see Mr. and Mrs. Chen talking back and forth, the two of them talking non-stop.

They returned very quickly.

"We'll tell Xiaoxue we're heading back now," Chen's mother said to Chen Ling as they reached the door of Li Lili's ward.

“Okay.” Chen Ling, who was standing to the side, quickly agreed.

Then he pushed open the door to Li Lili's hospital room...

However, just as Chen Ling pushed open the door to Li Lili's hospital room, he didn't see Li Lili lying on the bed. Chen Ling immediately ran to the bathroom to check, but still couldn't find Li Lili. So Chen Ling quickly called Li Lili again.

However, after the call was made, Chen Ling heard Li Lili's phone ringing in the ward.

Chen Ling immediately scanned the area to determine where the voice was coming from.

"Chen Ling, Xiaoxue's phone is on the table," Chen's mother said anxiously to Chen Ling.

Then Chen Ling hung up the phone.

"That's strange, where did Xiaoxue go? She was fine when we called just now," Mr. Chen said in surprise.

"Who knows? Never mind, let's not talk about it anymore and go out to look for it." At this moment, Chen's mother hurriedly said.

"Okay, let's go look for it right away." Mr. Chen quickly followed Ms. Chen's lead and said.

"Mom and Dad, don't run back and forth anymore. Let's leave it at that. You go to the monitoring room first and check the surveillance footage after we left to see where Ningxue went. I'll go look for her first." Just then, Chen Ling quickly said.

"Okay, okay, splitting up is a good idea. Alright, you go ahead, your mom and I will go check the surveillance footage right away." Mr. Chen said quickly.

Then they saw Chen Ling rushing out in a great hurry...

However, after leaving the ward, Mr. and Mrs. Chen headed straight for the front desk.

Soon, Mr. and Mrs. Chen walked over to the front desk nurse.

"Hello, nurse, I'm a family member in this A6 ward. We just went out for a little while, and my daughter-in-law has disappeared. I'd like to ask where we can view the security camera footage here so we can go take a look." Mr. Chen said immediately upon seeing the nurse.

Then the nurse began to say, "Hello, sir, according to our hospital's regulations, if you want to be transferred, we need to verify your identity first."

"Okay, how do we verify it? Please hurry up." Mrs. Chen said hurriedly.

"Please show your ID cards, state the patient's name, and tell us your relationship to the patient," the nurse replied.

“These are our ID cards. The patient inside is Li Lili, our daughter-in-law. We just went to another department for a check-up, and she was fine when we called her, but when we came back, she was no longer in the ward,” Mr. Chen said, handing over his ID card.

"Don't worry, if she's still wearing a hospital gown, she won't leave our hospital. Also, our hospital will send staff to help you find the patient," the nurse said.

"So, are you done with the review? We're in a hurry," Mrs. Chen urged the nurse.

"Alright, alright, come this way with me," the nurse said quickly.

The nurse then greeted the nurse next to her and led Mr. and Mrs. Chen toward the monitoring room.

"Did you see any patients this morning?" the nurse asked as she walked over.

"Yes, we saw her. She was in good condition at the time, which is why we dared to go and keep her there for a check-up," said Mrs. Chen.

"Okay, don't worry, the patient probably just wants to go for a walk. Don't panic, we'll check the surveillance footage later," the nurse reassured her.

"How could we not panic? My daughter-in-law, there's another reason for this." At this moment, Mr. Chen said anxiously.

"What other reason could it be?" The nurse, who was standing nearby, was very curious after hearing what Mr. Chen said, so she immediately asked.

Chapter 539 Anxious and Burning Heart 2

Upon hearing what Mr. Chen said, Mrs. Chen immediately turned and glared at him, feeling that he was talking nonsense.

"Well, it's nothing." Seeing this, Mr. Chen quickly added.

"This is a family matter, so we won't tell you about it for now," Mrs. Chen said to the nurse.

"Okay, if you don't want to say, then we naturally won't ask any more questions. Once we get to the monitoring room, we'll look for the patient and see where they are," the nurse quickly replied.

They quickly arrived at the monitoring room.

"Hello, sir, I've brought the patient's family to check the surveillance footage." This was the first thing the nurse said upon entering the monitoring room.

"Okay, go ahead and use it," the uncle said readily.

Then Chen's mother looked at Chen's father and said, "Why don't you call Chen Ling first and ask him how things are going?"

"Okay, sure," Mr. Chen quickly replied.

So Mr. Chen immediately took out his phone and started calling Chen Ling. But at that moment, Mr. Chen's phone rang.

“It’s Chen Ling’s,” Mr. Chen said, looking up at Mrs. Chen.

"Quickly answer the phone, quickly answer it, see if Xiaoxue has been found!" Upon hearing this, Chen's mother immediately said to Chen's father.

Then Mr. Chen quickly answered the call and prepared to ask Chen Ling a question.

However, upon hearing his father answer the phone, Chen Ling immediately asked anxiously, "Dad, how are things on your end?"

"You still haven't found Xiaoxue? We just got to the monitoring room and are checking the surveillance footage," Mr. Chen said.

"Okay, I got it. Alright then. You guys, if anything happens, just call me and I'll go look for her again." Chen Ling continued.

Chen Ling hung up the phone before his father could even speak.

Just as Mr. Chen was about to speak, he heard the beeping sound of Chen Ling hanging up the phone. Mr. Chen picked up his phone, glanced at it, and then said, "He hung up really fast."

"What time is it? Why are you still concerned about these things? What did our son say to you?" Mrs. Chen said, looking at Mr. Chen.

“My son still hasn’t found Xiaoxue. He asked us what the situation was, and after I told him, he hung up the phone right away, saying he had to go look for Xiaoxue again,” Mr. Chen said.

Then they heard the nurse ask them, "What time of the surveillance footage do you want to view?"

"11:10, please," Mr. Chen said, looking at the nurse.

“Yes, that’s right. We called her around 11:10, and she still answered,” Mrs. Chen quickly added.

Then, Chen's mother said, "Thank you for your help."

"It's alright, let's start from 11:10 then." The nurse said.

Then they heard Chen's mother's reply.

Then Chen's mother and father began to watch the video nervously, carefully watching everyone coming and going in the corridor, afraid that Li Lili would walk past them without them noticing.

Soon, they saw Li Lili's figure in the video.

"This is it, Nurse, this is it!" Upon seeing Li Lili on the monitor, Chen's mother immediately exclaimed in surprise.

"Okay, now that we have a target, let's take a look at the other surveillance footage and see where she appeared again," the nurse said.

"Okay, okay," Mr. Chen quickly replied.

Then the nurse, along with Mr. and Mrs. Chen, began searching for Li Lili.

"Here, here it appears."

"Hey, it's here."

"here."

"Here, here."

"Huh? Where did it go?"

During that nearly one hour, Chen's mother, father, and the nurse kept talking as they watched Li Lili's back on the monitor, until the very last sentence.

They couldn't find Li Lili's image on the surveillance footage.

"This area was our blind spot, and we stopped monitoring it. However, we've narrowed it down to a small area now, and the patient most likely went towards the back of the mountain. Please notify the other family members and go check there." The nurse quickly reassured them and began to speak.

"How come there's a mountain behind you? Is it high or dangerous?" Mother Chen asked anxiously.

"This mountain isn't very high; it's just an artificial one. We haven't developed that area yet, so it's quite remote, and not many people go there usually. We haven't started installing surveillance cameras there. You can go and look for it first. I've also started contacting people at our hospital to help you search," the nurse said.

Then we heard Mr. Chen say, "Okay, okay, thank you."

"It's alright, it's what we should do. Now I'll take you to the back mountain," the nurse said again.

Then, the nurse quickly led Mr. and Mrs. Chen out of the monitoring room and headed towards the back hill of the hospital...

"Why don't you call the patient's other family members first and tell them?" The nurse thought to herself that when they were on the phone earlier, they mentioned that someone was looking for the patient outside, so she quickly began to speak.

"Okay, okay, I'll call right now," Mr. Chen said quickly.

Then, Chen's father immediately called Chen Ling.

"Hello, Chen Ling," Chen's father said.

"How is it, Dad?" Chen Ling asked hurriedly.

"We've found out. Xiaoxue might be in the back hill, but the surveillance cameras haven't been installed there yet, so we're not entirely sure. Let's go check it out first," Mr. Chen said quickly.

"Okay, I understand, Dad, I'll be right there." Chen Ling said quickly.

"Okay, then come over here. We're on our way." Mr. Chen continued speaking at this moment.
