That person was playing with him and Ji Yue in the dark. He had silently taken Ji Yue away from the airport and turned her into a fool to sell her to India. He had to find that person!

Junyang City was not calm these few days.

A few years ago, the case of Miss Wu’s disappearance was sealed into the archive by the police station. Now, it was actually reopened. The person who requested to restart this suspect was not the Ji family, but the head of the province—Han Bing!

For this, the Public Security Bureau specially established an investigation team to search for the truth behind Miss Ji’s disappearance back then.

These days, Cai Jie felt uneasy.

When Han Luofan returned from work, he saw Cai Jie’s worried expression and thought that his mother had been affected by his father’s recent movements, so he felt angry. Han Luofan should have gotten married a few years ago, but he broke up with his girlfriend because of their personalities. He had gotten together with another recently, but it was not yet time to talk about marriage.

He was still living with his parents. When they had dinner at night, there were only the two of them at the table.

Han Luofan looked at the seat that belonged to his father. It was empty again tonight. His face darkened and he asked Cai Jie, “Where’s Dad?”

“He’s working overtime.”

“He’s about to retire, why would he have to work overtime!”

“He has to hand over his work…” Before Cai Jie could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Han Luofan.” You know, right? ”

Cai Jie pretended not to know and asked Han Luofan, “What?”

“Dad advocated to investigate the case of Miss Ji’s disappearance again. You know about this, right?” Han Luofan’s gaze was clear and a little sharp.

Cai Jie nodded. “Yes.”

“Mom, do you know what he’s doing!”

Cai Jie remained silent.

Han Luofan hated his mother for being cowardly. He said, “They all say that my father and that Miss Ji Wu used to be first loves! Lovers! They’ve been together for three years and are already engaged! Now, your husband and my father are starting to chase after that woman. Aren’t you angry?”

Cai Jie looked at the exasperated Han Luofan and fell silent.

Han Luofan felt that this matter was too infuriating.

Whether it was Han Bing, who disregarded his family and ran to pay attention to his late lover, or Cai Jie, who knew that her husband’s heart had already flown away and still pretended nothing had happened, it all made Han Luofan’s chest feel stuffy. He suddenly stood up, kicked the stool beside him, and cursed, “Damn!” Then, he planned to go out.

At this moment, Cai Jie suddenly said from behind him, “Luo Fan! It’s not what you think.”

Han Luofan stood at the same spot and did not turn around, but his head tilted slightly in Cai Jie’s direction.

Cai Jie stood up and walked behind Han Luofan. She looked up at her son’s tall figure and sighed softly. “Actually, your father… he hasn’t had an easy time either. All these years, he has never been really happy. Xiao Fan, you’re not your father. You can’t understand his pain. Try to tolerate him more.”

When Han Luofan heard this, he was even angrier.

“I won’t be back tonight.” With that, he took his car keys and left.

Cai Jie stood alone in the room, her face pale again.

Qiao Jiusheng and Fang Yusheng were in Junyang City and did not leave.

Ji Yinbing asked her out to shop.

Qiao Jiusheng agreed readily.

She was born and raised in Junyang City and was extremely familiar with this place. When Qiao Jiusheng was a lady in her maternal family, she had bought many beloved cars. She casually drove a rose-red flirtatious sports car and went to pick Ji Yinbing up.

Ji Yinbing was living in the Ji family now. When Qiao Jiusheng arrived, she and Yan Nuo stood at the door and waited for her.

Qiao Jiusheng parked the car at the entrance and said to Yan Nuo, “Boss Yan, lend me your woman for a day.”

Yan Nuo raised his eyebrows. He realized that Qiao Jiusheng, who had once been so terrified that she could not speak when she saw him, had recently become bold. However, this way of getting along was actually more like a friend. Yan Nuo felt at ease. He touched Ji Yinbing’s white hair and reminded her, “Be careful. If you don’t come back tonight, call me. An and I will go find you for dinner.”

“Okay.”

After Ji Yinbing got into Qiao Jiusheng’s car, Yan Nuo went to look for Fang Yusheng.

Women had women’s lives, and so did men.

Qiao Jiusheng and Ji Yinbing liked to shop and buy things. Now, the winter clothes had started to be cleared and were heavily discounted. There were discounted promotions cards everywhere in the mall and on the streets. Ji Yinbing actually did not lack anything, but the Ji family had many younger generations and a few children. She had returned this time and received gifts from the elders. She also planned to buy some small gifts for the elders and juniors.

Qiao Jiusheng brought her to the mall and strolled around the jewelry section.

They spent the entire morning at the mall buying everything. After lunch, they found a music coffee bar and sat down. They drank coffee and listened to music as they chatted. Qiao Jiusheng had not read a comic in a long time. She chose a serial novel called “The Dragon Race” and sat by the window, sunbathing while reading a comic.

Ji Yinbing did not read anime. She preferred to read famous or medical books.

The two of them looked at their books and spent nearly two hours reading.

Qiao Jiusheng finished reading anime and closed the book, planning to find the next one. When she looked up, she realized that Ji Yinbing was looking at her. Qiao Jiusheng felt puzzled and asked Ji Yinbing, “Why are you staring at me?”

Ji Yinbing said, “I feel a little uncomfortable.”

Qiao Jiusheng put down the comic book and did not plan to read it anymore.

“I’m listening.”

Ji Yinbing smiled rarely. It felt good to have a friend listen when she felt terrible. She ordered another cup of hot coffee and held it with her cold fingertips before saying, “I’ve been thinking about my mother’s disappearance recently.”

Qiao Jiusheng guessed that she was worried about this.

“Junyang City has been very lively recently. The people who had a conflict with your mother back then have been investigated.”

Ji Yinbing nodded and said, “I think the person who harmed my mother is definitely an acquaintance.”

“Most crimes are committed by acquaintances.”

Ji Yinbing nodded. She looked out of the window at the afternoon sun and sighed. “I feel sorry for my mother.”

“Why?”

“When she gave birth to me, it was said that she had been awake for a period of time, so she gave me this name. Yinbing, someone said that the name Yinbing came from the idiom that said ‘Even After Ten Years of Drinking Ice, It’s Hard to Cool One’s Hot Blood’. However, I know that she gave me this name just to use this as an excuse to secretly miss that man called Han Bing.”

Qiao Jiusheng remained silent and listened quietly.

At this moment, quiet listening was more useful than comfort. Ji Yinbing liked to chat with Qiao Jiusheng because she did not talk much or talk much. She was a good listener. Ji Yinbing twirled her cup and thought of the scene when she met that man two days ago.
