“That’s because I called him first.” Chen Xuyao’s tone was somewhat helpless. “Jiang Yao, has Chu Sheng contacted you recently? I went to look for her this morning, but her neighbor told me that Chu Sheng went out yesterday afternoon and had not come back since. I called her, and her phone number
indicated that she was not in the service area.”

“She wouldn’t do that.” Chen Xuyao shook his head. “We made an appointment two days ago to have lunch today. After lunch, we were supposed to watch a movie. She promised that she would be fine, and she would even pick which movie to watch.”
Chen Xuyao said, “I don’t know why I’m always worried that something might happen to her. I’ve been feeling uneasy since last night.”
Jiang Yao and Chu Sheng were on good terms, so they had each other’s numbers. Sometimes, they would send text messages to one another. So, when Chen Xuyao could not get in touch with Chu Send, he looked for Jiang Yao to ask if she knew anything about the situation.
“Have you gone to her teahouse? Maybe the signal in the alley isn’t good? Or maybe she’s working and can’t pick up the phone? Chu Sheng is the teahouse owner, but she is also a top student in criminal psychology from studying abroad. Sometimes, she helps in some cases. Maybe she went to help with an
urgent case?”
“No matter how urgent it is, she would have told me earlier as she had already made an appointment with me. She would tell me not to look for her today. She would not have made me wait like this.” Chen Xuyao’s tone was a little flustered. “Jiang Yao, do you believe in premonitions? I keep feeling that
something is wrong. My heart is always flustered, especially after learning that she didn’t come home last night. I am even more afraid.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Ask Big Brother and the Chen family to look for her. You have a big network in Jindo City. Don’t scare yourself. Maybe she had gone to handle an emergency case.” Jiang Yao had never seen Chen Xuyao in a panic. It was clear how important Chu Sheng was to him.
It had only been one night, but he was already worried about Chen Xuyao.
“Te already spoken to Big Brother and asked the Chen family to help look for her.” Chen Xuyao thought, ‘I hope it’s like Jiang Yao said—she’s gone to handle an emergency case.” When he found Chu Sheng, he would have to give her a good lesson. How old was she? She still made him worry.
Chen Xuyao did not talk much to Jiang Yao. He was in a hurry to look for Chu Sheng. After he hung up the phone, he went to Chu Sheng’s teahouse, ready to try his luck.
“If Chu Sheng contacts you, tell him immediately,” Lu Xingzhi instructed after Jiang Yao put down her phone. “He has been chasing after Chu Sheng recently. I don’t know what Chu Sheng is thinking. She’s always hiding from Chen Xuyao.”
“Didn’t Chen Xuyao get kidnapped with Chu Sheng when they were young?” Chu Seng could no longer speak after the kidnapping incident. She did not know what had happened, but Chu Seng was traumatized. Maybe Chu Seng wanted to hide from Chen Xuyao because of the incident. Pethaps she could
think of the kidnapping whenever she saw Chen Xuyao.
That was what Jiang Yao thought. Chu Sheng was a courageous girl, but she could not speak for psychological reasons. Chu Sheng had a demon in her mind, and if she could not defeat it, she would never learn to talk again..
