Chapter 427 was to find out where she had gone

"Young Master, it's raining heavily outside. The Young Madam has not yet returned!"

Huo Nanchen grew more anxious, and his jaw tightened. He frowned and called Gu Ruochu's phone repeatedly, but she had turned off her phone.

It was raining heavily outside.

Nanny Zhang was restless. The Young Madam was alone in the heavy rain, and unlike the Young Master, she did not have access to any of the Huo properties in the city.

"Oh my! What's going on?"

Mrs. Huo came down the stairs with a stunned look on her face as Huo Nanchen grabbed an umbrella and headed out. He decided to search for Gu Ruochu in the servant quarters.

Maybe she had returned to the Huo residence and chosen not to see him.

However, none of the servants had seen the Young Madam. Huo Nanchen was troubled. He had only allowed her to get in the taxi because he had thought she would go straight to the Huo residence.

Nanny Zhang was also anxious. She didn't expect the Young Madam to disappear in the middle of the night.

"I'll go find her."

Huo Nanchen went into the garage and got into his car. He had called her several times, and she had not picked up. Her phone was now turned off. Huo Nanchen's eyes turned dark.

It was already so late, and the heavy rainfall was unrelenting.

Gu Ruochu couldn't stay at a hotel without an identity certificate, so where had she gone?

'It's raining so heavily, where can I find her?'

Huo Nanchen thought about Gu Ruochu's family members and friends and wondered if she had gone to spend the night with them.

Gu Ruochu had a few close friends, but if he called them, Huo Nanchen feared that they would not tell him the truth. He had no other choice but to visit all of Gu Ruochu's friends personally.

He went back to the villa with a gloomy face and dialed a number. "Can you find out where Ruochu went tonight. She got into a taxi and drove away hurriedly. I'll send you the license plate number and the driver's description. I want to know about her location immediately."

After hanging up the phone, his heart sank.

He had looked forward to seeing Gu Ruochu that night.

If Huo Nanchen had known that she would disappear, he wouldn't have given in to her. He would have forced her to go home with him.

"Where are you going now?"

Mrs. Huo's face was dark. Huo Nanchen had not been home for almost a week. When he finally came back, his anger had driven his wife away.

"Mom, I'll go to her friend's place."

Huo Nanchen hoped that she was staying with a friend, which would make it easy for him to find her.

"Go out and come back immediately! Ruochu has suffered a lot because of you. Are you going to continue dealing with her objection towards Ning Tangxi and her child in such a cold manner?"

"Mom, this is not the time." Huo Nanchen turned around and left, his eyes filled with annoyance. "Remember to give me a call if she comes back."

Mrs. Huo nodded. It was good that Old Lady Huo was not at home.

Otherwise, who knew how angry she would have been if she knew what had happened between the couple.

Xu Yichen stood at the window and watched the heavy rain outside.

He twirled a lit cigarette in his fingers as he gazed into the rainy night. Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door. Xu Yichen walked over and opened it.

"Why are you here?"

Xu Yichen looked at Huo Nanchen and frowned. "Is there something you need from me so late in the night?"

"Is she here?"

"Are you talking about Ruochu?" Xu Yichen furrowed his brows. "What's wrong with her?"

Judging from his reaction, Huo Nanchen knew that she was not with Xu Yichen. He remained silent for a moment before he told him the truth. "She said that she was going home tonight, but she did not come back."

At that moment, a helpless feeling overwhelmed Huo Nanchen. He had never felt so weak.

Gu Ruochu had not contacted Xu Yichen. She had not given anyone an explanation. Had something happened to her?

"Huo Nanchen, what the hell did you do to her?"

Xu Yichen's anger rose, and he clenched his fists so hard that they creaked.

He had known Gu Ruochu for a long time, and she had never been a person to run away from her problems. What had Huo Nanchen done to push her to such a desperate action?
