Draped in sleek black attire, the woman with long hair conveyed her profession and personality through her demeanor and expression.
“Sorry, Mr. Xiao”, Shen Qing bowed, responding to Xiao Yichen. “I couldn’t locate Lin Wan and Lu Hao.”
She knew that Lin Wan was Xiao Yichen’s wife. But when Xiao Yichen mentioned her, he called her “Lin Wan”. Therefore, she naturally addressed her as Lin Wan as well.
“You couldn’t locate them? What does that mean?” Luo Ziyan queried Shen Qing, perplexed as he rose from his seat.
Shen Qing glanced at Luo Ziyan before returning her attention to Xiao Yichen. “It’s confirmed that Lin Wan and Lu Hao are not in Ancheng City. They have left.”
Xiao Yichen, hearing Shen Qing’s report, showed no surprise outwardly, but internally, his heart was already in anguish.
“Where did they go?” Xiao Yichen asked, implicitly trusting Shen Qing’s investigation.
“I couldn’t uncover any leads,” Shen Qing admitted, bowing her head apologetically.
Xiao Yichen shot Shen Qing a glare, emanating a palpable hostility.
Though Shen Qing couldn’t see it, she sensed the intensity. Upon lowering her head, she continued, “Someone within the airline processed certain information under military system orders, so…”
Everyone in the private room understood that processing information this way would yield no fruitful clues.
“Who is this person?” Xiao Yichen inquired, his expression gradually calming.
“Someone named Xing Yun,” Shen Qing revealed.
Boom! An explosion resounded within Xiao Yichen’s mind. Xing Yun was someone close to Lu Hao.
She indeed left with Lu Hao!
Xiao Yichen stood up, leaving the room without uttering a word.
Upon observing Xiao Yichen’s departure, Luo Zishen and Luo Ziyan exchanged glances but refrained from speaking.
After returning to Blue Bay villa, Xiao Yichen encountered Auntie Li in the villa. Ready to greet him, she halted upon hearing his words.
“You don’t need to come here for the time being,” Xiao Yichen declared, his tone chillingly cold. “Wait for my notice.”
Auntie Li was taken aback, recognizing Xiao Yichen’s distress but hesitant to inquire further. She merely responded, “Yes, understood.”
After Auntie Li left, Xiao Yichen briefly lingered in the living room on the first floor before ascending to the second floor.
After pushing open the door to the bedroom, he couldn’t help but shed tears as he gazed upon the bed.
Her figure consumed his thoughts. Wan’er, his beloved, his wife.
But what is she doing? She is fleeing with another man!
Upon approaching the bed slowly, Xiao Yichen stood by its side, contemplating the spot where Lin Wan used to sleep. His mind was now clear.
He recognized that she might have prepared to escape since revealing her intention to resign.
In retrospect, their warm life together seemed ludicrous now.
He had uttered countless promises to her, making vows he now saw as naive.
“Wan’er…” Xiao Yichen whispered, his voice hoarse.
Agony consumed Xiao Yichen’s heart as he crouched down by the bed.
“I won’t let you go.”
“Will you come back?”
The following morning, Luo Ziyan drove to Blue Bay villa. He repeatedly pressed the doorbell and knocked at the villa entrance, but no one answered.
“Yichen, open the door!” Luo Ziyan called out, but there was no response for an extended period..
