“Okay,” Xiao Yichen responded briefly, not wanting to converse extensively with Xu Yanxi.
After lunch at a nearby Western restaurant, Xiao Yichen returned to the company to resume work. At the same time, Xu Yanxi called her designated driver to take her car to the Eastern Empire Mall.
Xu Yanxi started the car, but she drove towards the Dream Phil company instead of heading home.
She felt elated after the enjoyable shopping trip with Chen. He had even bought her so many clothes, one of which he chose. She couldn’t resist showing them off to Lin Wan.
A high-end luxury car was parked at the entrance of a rundown alley in Ancheng City. In the back seat sat a man in a military uniform, his expression cold but with a hint of anticipation.
Ten minutes later, his assistant, Xing Yun, returned to the car and sat in the front passenger seat. He turned slightly to address the officer behind him, saying, “Minister, there’s no news.”
After Xing Yun finished speaking, he lowered his head to express his apologies.
Upon hearing this response, a brief flicker of disappointment passed over Lu Hao’s face, though he quickly concealed it.
His gaze remained fixed on the alley outside the window. “Not even a little information…?”
He had lived here for three years. He did not know how many years Lin Wan had lived here. However, even if Lin Wan left later, the people who used to live here should know where Lin Wan went!
Xing Yun hesitated before continuing, “I’ve asked around extensively. Some elderly residents mentioned that almost everyone who lived here previously has since moved away. I even asked two people, but they claimed not to know anyone with the surname Lin.”
Lu Hao kept looking out the window, not retracting his gaze because of Xing Yun’s words. At this moment, his heart was filled with sadness.
This alley seemed like the only place he could think of to find Lin Wan. But after two visits, there had been no results.
After a long silence, Lu Hao finally pulled his gaze away from the window and addressed the driver in the front, “Let’s head back.”
The driver responded with a simple “Yes.”
Forty minutes later, they returned to the military compound. Lu Hao entered the house and went directly to the dining room, removing a bottle of wine from the refrigerator, opening it, and drinking it in one go.
A profound sadness overcame him as he drained the bottle of cold wine. He held the empty bottle with one hand while bracing himself against the wall with the other. His gaze remained fixed, his mind clouded with discomfort. Where are you, Wanwan? Are you still in this city?
After Lin Wan finished work in the afternoon, she exited the office with Shen Yun. They took the elevator to the ground floor, where Shen Yun left the elevator, and Lin Wan proceeded to the B2 parking lot, where she had parked her car in the morning.
Upon reaching the parking lot, Lin Wan, bag in hand, headed toward her car. However, she noticed someone standing by her vehicle before she reached it.
At first, she couldn’t see who it was, but as she drew closer, the identity became apparent. It was Xu Yanxi.
Lin Wan didn’t let this sight deter her from moving closer to her car.
She was uncertain about Xu Yanxi’s purpose but needed to get home as she was both tired and hungry.
“Lin Wan.” As Lin Wan neared her car, Xu Yanxi took a few steps to block her path.
Lin Wan halted, looking at Xu Yanxi and inquiring, “Why are you looking for me?”
“I’m here to discuss something with you,” Xu Yanxi replied with a peculiar smile..
