The neighbor gasped loudly, and Mo Zi Lin realized it was because she recognized him. He walked over to her, concern etched on his face.
"Please, give us the number if you have it. Your neighbor might be in danger, and we could save her before anything bad happens," he urged.
The neighbor's senses returned at the mention of Chen Mumu being in danger. She liked Chen Mumu a lot, especially because Chen Mumu was always kind to her young children. Alarmed, she quickly decided to make the call herself instead of sharing the number.
The call went through, but since it was late, no one answered the first time. On the second attempt, Chen Mumu's mother, Ming Da Run, picked up the phone.
"Yes, Neighbor Wang, why are you calling me at such an hour?" Ming Da Run asked, her voice groggy with sleep.
The neighbor, Wang, quickly asked, "Ms. Ming, did Chen Mumu come over to your house today?"
Ming Da Run replied sleepily, "Yes, but she already left."
