My husband is too wild, I need to go home and find my mom.

Chapter 253 How Will She Make a Living Person?

Mr. Lin drove back to the city, and it was almost one o'clock, so the four of them went to find a restaurant with private rooms for lunch. They ate Chinese food and simply ordered a few dishes: scallion oil chicken, boiled beef, boiled shrimp, and boiled bok choy.

Lin Ni's family ate relatively light food. Lin's father even specially ordered a spicy dish for Yao, and after ordering, he asked, "Young man, is this alright?"

Yao smiled and nodded: "That's fine."

Mr. Lin handed the menu back to the waiter: "That's all. Please serve the food as soon as possible."

Although it was a private room, there were surveillance cameras everywhere, and it wasn't a place to talk, so Lin's parents didn't ask Lin Ni about the details of what had happened in the past ten days. Instead, Lin's mother carefully told her daughter what had happened after she fell.

It turns out that after she slipped and fell down the mountain that evening, her companions were terrified! There was no cell phone signal on the mountain, so they searched for a place with a signal to call the police while trying to descend the mountain to look for her, but of course, they couldn't find her. Then, on the way down, another classmate was injured. Although it wasn't a serious injury, just a sprained ankle, it still made everyone's movements very inconvenient. They finally found a place with a signal the next morning and immediately called the police. Local police and firefighters responded that same day and successfully rescued the group of hikers who had recklessly ventured into undeveloped mountain forests that afternoon. (So, the behavior of these thrill-seeking hikers is truly irresponsible. They are not only irresponsible towards their own lives but also constantly causing trouble for the country! How many firefighters have been injured or even lost their lives while rescuing these reckless hikers!)

Then they began searching for Linni in that mountain forest. They wasted a lot of manpower and resources, but no matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find her. They even found her hat, hiking stick, and binoculars that she had lost when she fell down the mountain, but still couldn't find her.

Some classmates speculated that she might have been captured by unknown wild men in the mountains.

Some classmates speculated that she might have been eaten by a wild animal...

Firefighters searched for eight days, but were forced to evacuate to fight a major fire that broke out in the city yesterday.

Mr. Lin had to figure out a solution on his own.

However, if the government can't find it even with so many firefighters on its roster, it's unlikely that a private individual could find it either.

So Lin's mother collapsed. Lin's father had already prepared for the worst, but he wanted to see her alive or dead, and he still wanted to make one last effort.

Hearing her mother's words, Lin Ni said guiltily, "Dad, Mom, I'm sorry for making you worry!"

Yao listened quietly the whole time. As they talked, he served Lin Ni food, rice, and peeled shrimp. Lin's parents watched their daughter act as if it were her right, and since it didn't seem like she was faking it, they didn't say anything.

Everyone agreed to first go to the police station to report the incident and complete the necessary procedures, making sure to properly thank the firefighters who risked their lives and searched for her on the mountain for eight days without complaint. Next, they would go to the hospital to complete the discharge procedures, and then check into a hotel. Because Lin's mother was hospitalized, Lin's father stayed with her at the hospital and didn't stay at a hotel.

Lin Ni suddenly asked, "What about Yao? He doesn't have an ID card."

Mr. Lin thought for a moment and said, "There are surveillance cameras everywhere. You were already on camera as soon as you entered the city. If they really want to investigate, they definitely will."

Linni said, "He hasn't broken the law. Why are the police checking the surveillance footage here for no reason? Why are they checking his ID? He'll be waiting for us in the car. We just hope he doesn't end up in the police station."

Lin's mother asked, "So, will you be staying at a hotel tonight?"

This problem—Linni felt a little helpless. She remembered Bai saying he'd come with her to their old home, and she'd wondered how she could possibly transform herself in this completely modernized world of 2024. Of course, it was impossible. Luckily, it wasn't during the pandemic; otherwise, Yao would be in immediate trouble as soon as they left that desolate mountain. Linni could only plead with her father, "Dad, what do you suggest? Can we just use my ID? We can use my ID to book a hotel room."

Lin's mother asked in surprise, "Are you going to live together?"

Lin Ni was a woman who had seen a lot in her life. Although she was still a little uncomfortable being asked by her mother in person, she didn't feel shy at all: "We've been together for hundreds of days, so it's fine to be together."

Mr. Lin said, "No, tonight Yao and I will share a room, and you and your mother will share a room. You haven't seen each other for so long, so you should spend some time talking with your mother first."

Lin Ni looked at Yao and said directly to him in front of her parents, "Yao, just say what I said. Don't say anything else my dad asks."

Lin's mother was so angry that she slapped her: "You brat! You've really grown up!"

However, Lin's mother's blow didn't hit Lin Ni because Yao had his hand protecting Lin Ni's shoulder. Her blow landed on the back of his hand with a "smack," and his hand didn't even tremble, so naturally it didn't touch Lin Ni.

Mr. and Mrs. Lin glanced at Yao in surprise. Yao simply smiled at them. The couple exchanged another look: This kid is something else!

Lin's mother stopped hitting her daughter and just glared at her. Lin Ni happily darted to Yao's side.

In the afternoon, Lin Ni and her family of three went out to run errands, and Yao waited for them quietly.

When they went to the hotel that evening, Mr. Lin first used his ID card and Ms. Lin's ID card to book two double rooms—the kind with two beds. The three of them went upstairs first, and then Mr. Lin came down to pick up Yao. Hotel staff usually don't ask questions in this situation.

Although Yao didn't even know how to ride an elevator and had never seen anything like this world, he was never very curious, so he just smiled and followed along, and didn't make any fools of himself.

The four returned to their respective rooms, and Lin's mother began undressing her daughter to examine her body. Lin Ni pushed her mother away, saying, "Mom, what are you doing!"

Lin's mother took her hand and said, "I need to check if you have any surgical marks on your body." If she had breast augmentation surgery, there would definitely be wounds after only ten days.

Linni said helplessly, "You still don't believe me!"

Lin's mother stubbornly said, "If you want your mother to believe you, then you have to give me the most compelling evidence."

Linni: "My photos are the most powerful evidence!"

Lin's mother: "The photo might be photoshopped. I know there are professional organizations that can determine whether it's photoshopped, but I don't want to go to those organizations right now. I just want to see if my daughter's body has been operated on. This is the fastest and most powerful evidence."
