Gu Man looked behind her and wished him luck. She did not stop him.
Xiang Yin pursed his lips and used his eyes to tell Gu Man that she had changed, but Gu Man pulled Huang Jue away elegantly.
Even though Gu Man had already gone upstairs, Old Master Cui had been in deep thought. It was unknown what he was thinking about. After a long time, he looked up. “You can’t be with that girl.”
Xiang Yin did not show much expression on his face. He raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, “Why?”
Upstairs, Gu Man knocked on Ah Mai’s room. Soon, someone came to open the door, but it was not Ah Mai, but Uncle Li.
Uncle Li did not show any surprise when he saw Gu Man appear. Instead, he smiled and welcomed her in. “Miss Gu, Ah Mai has been like this since last night. Please see what’s going on.”
Gu Man looked at Ah Mai, who was sitting on the bed. His eyes were dull as he hugged the doll in his hand and did not say a word. Even the commotion at the door could not wake him up from his consciousness.
Looking at Ah Mai like this, Gu Man’s heart ached. She called out softly, “All Mai?”
Ah Mai seemed to have sensed something. He turned around and met Gu Man’s eyes. She could clearly see him. A glint flashed across his eyes, but it quickly dimmed and returned to normal.
This cold appearance was exactly the same as before she was treated. Gu Man’s heart ached. She did not dare to imagine what had happened to Ah Mai that made him become like this.
Huang Jue seemed to have sensed that something was wrong. He carefully walked towards Ah Mai. When he reached the bed, he whispered, “All Mai, do you still remember me? I’m your brother.”
However, Ah Mai seemed to have completely blocked out the surrounding sounds and did not respond to any sound.
Uncle Li’s eyes were filled with worry. “I thought that his condition would improve after you arrived, but…”
“Uncle Li, can you tell me his schedule yesterday?” Ever since Gu Man saw All Mai’s lack of emotions, her brows had not relaxed.
“Of course you can. Actually, Ah Mai’s schedule yesterday was very simple. He stayed at home for the entire day. In the morning, he even played in the garden with Old Master Cui. In the afternoon, he kept painting in his room until night time. Even when I went in to deliver food, he was in this posture and kept sitting there.” Uncle Li explained Ah Mai’s itinerary in detail, afraid that he would miss something. He even recalled as he spoke.
Gu Man’s brows did not relax slightly because of Uncle Li’s words. Instead, she frowned even more because nothing would agitate Ah Mai during his trip.
Ah Mai had definitely suffered a huge blow to become like this, making him choose to block him.
This was the case for autistic children. It was very easy for them to choose to close themselves again because of some commotion in the outside world. Therefore, it was very easy for this illness to relapse and it was difficult to treat.
However, if All Mai stayed at home, he would definitely not suffer any major stimulation. It could only be said that someone had come to stimulate him.
Her expression became even more serious. She clenched her fists tightly and a ruthless look flashed across her eyes. “Has anyone come to look for Ah Mai?”
Uncle Li also reacted. His expression darkened. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head. “No one came to the Cui Family yesterday.”
“Then are the original members of the Cui family all here?” Gu Man grasped the key. Since no one from the outside world came, there must be a problem internally.
Uncle Li was shocked. “Miss Gu, you mean…”
Gu Man interrupted Uncle Li. “We’ll only know the details after the investigation.”
As she spoke, she looked at the door. A small crack had opened at some point, and a figure seemed to flash past.
Uncle Li followed Gu Man’s gaze. When he saw the small crack again, his expression became even more serious.
He nodded in understanding and did not say anything else.
Gu Man lightened her footsteps and moved to the side of the door. She closed it again and locked it..
