Chapter 328: She Doesn't Want Her Older Sister to Die

"Who are you sending a text message to?" The nanny snatched the phone back and asked her, "Why are you sending our apartment building's floor number?"

Worried that she might scroll up, Wenwen immediately grabbed her hand, "Auntie, I'm sorry, I just heard my classmates say that phones are fun, so I wanted to take a look."

"Actually, there's nothing fun about it. Auntie, will you take me to play in the residential complex?"

"Can it wait a moment?" The nanny checked that she hadn't moved to any other pages and tentatively believed her explanation, "I'm making yam cakes for you in the kitchen!"

"Auntie, I'm not hungry right now, I just want to go out and play."

"Alright then."

The nanny took Wenwen out to the elevator, and then Wenwen pretended to be clumsy and pressed a few buttons.

One of them was exactly the floor below theirs.

"Auntie, have you ever seen the neighbors downstairs?"

The elevator stopped on the fifteenth floor. Wenwen leaned out of the elevator to look; it had the same layout as their own doorway, with dark gray wall tiles reflecting a cold light across the floor.

She pulled her small body back into the elevator, feeling that this place was a bit scary.

The nanny felt that this little girl was a bit strange today. In the past, she loved to play at the picture book library and the spiral slide where many children went, but today she only wanted to play downstairs, and she would look up toward their floor from time to time.

"Wenwen, what are you looking at?"

Wenwen didn't speak. She was just worried; she had already helped that older sister send the text message, would someone come to save her?

……

Bai Mu looked at the address on her phone; it was the exact number that had sent her a message for help last time.

However, she didn't dare to contact that number easily, fearing Li Mu would find out.

She was afraid she couldn't do it alone, and Si Rong wouldn't help because of some old grudges.

But one couldn't blame Si Rong either; her son was newly married, and these matters regarding Bai Mo really did seem like bad luck.

She prepared to pay to hire two people to go with her, odd-jobbers from the labor market; at three hundred yuan a day, many people were scrambling to go.

Bai Mu selected two young men who looked relatively sturdy.

They arrived at Binyuan, but unexpectedly, they almost couldn't get into the complex.

The people who lived here were either rich or noble, and it was a warm-hearted middle-aged woman who brought them inside.

Walking all the way to that building, the two young men felt something was wrong, "Ma'am, you aren't trying to make us do something illegal, are you?"

"I won't hide it from you, my daughter is being illegally imprisoned, I just want to come and take her away," Bai Mu pleaded, "I will have to trouble you in a moment."

"As long as it's legal, we'll do it," one young man said, "But since it's illegal imprisonment, why don't you call the police?"

"There are some inside details that are inconvenient to disclose," Bai Mu thought for a moment and added, "As long as you can help me bring my daughter out, I'll give you five hundred yuan each."

At this, the two young men didn't say anything more and obediently followed behind her.

The door was locked. Bai Mu had seen many such smart locks; she knew it required a password.

After knocking on the door twice, no one came to open it, so she shouted 'Bai Mo' twice.

Bai Mo heard Bai Mu's voice coming from the doorway and felt extremely excited.

She used all her strength to respond, her voice hoarse from shouting.

Now that Li Mu had just gone to work not long ago and wouldn't be back for a short while, it was the perfect opportunity.

Even though she had used so much strength, Bai Mu outside the door only heard a tiny bit, and wasn't even sure if it was Bai Mo's voice.

"Does anyone here know how to pick a lock?"

The two young men waved their hands repeatedly, "This, we wouldn't dare to enter someone else's home just like that."

Never mind five hundred, they wouldn't dare do it for five thousand. What if the owner called the police and accused them of home invasion robbery?

Bai Mu was anxious outside the door, but there was nothing she could do.

……

The child was asleep, and the nanny was lying there playing on her phone. She thought of the text message Wenwen had sent yesterday, so she opened it again, intending to take another look.

It was a good thing she did; before yesterday, Wenwen had actually sent a text message to the previous phone number.

Mom, I am Bai Mo, help!

This text message instantly made the little nanny lose all sleepiness. She felt that things were not as simple as they seemed.

She made a phone call to her employer, who was Wenwen's mother.

After Wenwen's mother heard the ins and outs of the matter, she immediately rushed back from the company.

She woke Wenwen up and asked her about the text message.

"Tell Mommy, who told you to send this kind of text message?"

Wenwen was frightened by her mother's stern expression; her little face crumpled and she began to cry, "I don't know, I don't know..."

That older sister had said that this matter was a secret between the two of them, and if she told a third person, the older sister would die.

The older sister had already been abused by her stepmother until she was very pitiful; she didn't want the older sister to die.

"Wenwen, this is a very important matter. If you tell Mommy, we can call the police to save that older sister. Didn't Mommy tell you that the police officers are very capable?"

"Will the police really help that older sister?" Wenwen confirmed with her mother.

"Of course." Wenwen's mother was worried about what kind of disaster this might be and hoped it wouldn't affect her daughter.

Only then did Wenwen tell the whole story.

"You can hear an older sister's voice in your room?" Wenwen's mother became more alarmed the more she asked.

She had the nanny bring the phone over, looked at the text message carefully twice more, and then, having the nanny watch her daughter, she contacted Li Jie downstairs.

Li Jie was the owner of a cleaning company, and they would exchange pleasantries when they met on weekdays.

Wenwen's mother suspected that the older sister her daughter spoke of was someone in Li Jie's home.

She had heard before that Li Jie had a daughter; could it be that she had some kind of mental illness?

But why did that girl tell her daughter that Li Jie was a stepmother?

Still need to find someone to save her?

They lived in the same building and had never seen that girl.

Wenwen's mother could not figure it out, but she knew her family could not afford to offend Li Jie.

So she called Li Jie, and Li Jie immediately said she would rush back, which showed that she really did hide a daughter with mental health issues at home.

Wenwen's mother immediately decided to move her daughter's bedroom to another room.

She was worried that long-term contact with a mentally ill patient would affect her daughter.

The real estate market was currently sluggish, and selling the house bought at a high price before would result in a loss, so it was not a good time; Wenwen's mother instructed the nanny to keep a close eye on Wenwen from now on.

Bai Mu tried many passwords, but none of them could open the door.

The young man behind her reminded her to search online for tips on opening combination locks.

Bai Mu searched with skepticism, and a few methods actually popped up.

One of them was using water vapor; she tried breathing onto the smart lock's display screen, and sure enough, a few numbers had a layer of white film more than the others.

The six numbers were known; the next step was the order of sequence.

Bai Mu had a sudden inspiration and searched online for a detailed introduction of Li Mu, and sure enough, she saw her date of birth, which was exactly composed of these numbers.

Immediately, she entered the six numbers with an excited mood, and the door opened with a "ding" sound.
