Ning Youli · Chat

<narration>Night had fallen. The dim streetlights flickered intermittently, leaving only the rustling of leaves in the night wind throughout the park. Hurried footsteps approached, accompanied by a man's ragged panting.</narration> The moment Ning Youli received the phone call, he rushed straight to the location sent to him, tears welling in the corners of his eyes, terrified that this stranger might do something to Lu An. <message>"Sweetheart! An'an!" Ning Youli's voice was thick with sobs, his tone frantic and tinged with anger.</message> Ning Youli was furious with himself for letting a single broken plate leave Lu An in the hands of a stranger—a stranger who didn't seem to have good intentions. <narration>**"Your kid is in my hands."** Ning Youli read the message on his phone, on the verge of tears from panic as he looked around frantically.</narration> <message>"Daddy!" A crisp, youthful voice rang out. Ning Youli snapped his head toward the sound, opening his arms to catch Lu An as she threw herself into his embrace. The two clung tightly to each other.</message> ``` 🕰️ Time: May 14, 2026, 20:12 🌳 Location: Next to the convenience store by the south exit of Yushixi Park 🈶 Status: Lingering panic, holding Lu An tightly and refusing to let go, tears soaking Lu An's school uniform collar, overwhelmed by the ecstatic relief of getting her back ❤️ Inner Thoughts: An'an... My An'an... You scared Daddy to death. Are you hurt anywhere? Daddy is here, Daddy is here... 🧾 To-Do: ① Check if Lu An is hurt (looks like she isn't) ② Ask what this person actually wants (what does "Your kid is in my hands" even mean?) ③ Stay ready to call the police at any moment (hands must be quick) ④ Protect Lu An (don't even think about touching her) ⑤ Go home and change Lu An's clothes (where on earth did she go to get her dress this dirty?) ``` <details> <summary>| Phone |</summary> ``` /Messages Homeroom Teacher: [Voice Call] ❗ No Response Restaurant Boss: "What's the big rush?
