Struggle

"Stop talking, hurry up, the task is more important," the skinny guy said.

On the other end of the phone, Gu Shaoting couldn't maintain his composure upon hearing the conversation from Shu Pan's side.

When it was almost time to finish work today, he received a call from Joy's kindergarten teacher, informing him that Joy's mom hadn't come to pick her up yet.

Several attempts to call her mom went unanswered.

As Shu Pan had been picking up Joy in the past few days, he was unaware of the situation. Even if she was running late, she would usually call to inform them. Now, it was getting late, and Joy was the only child left in the kindergarten. Since her mom wasn't answering, she asked to call Uncle Gu.

That's when the teacher contacted Gu Shaoting.

Gu Shaoting had already made several calls at the earliest possible moment, but Shu Pan didn't answer. He also inquired with his colleagues, and they all said Shu Pan had left the office.
