At first, Jiang Kechu thought Wan Chu’er’s phone had run out of battery, or there was so inconvenient matter, so she had turned off her phone. Although he felt sowhat uneasy, he still believed it was nothing serious.
He and Chen Ke went to find a place to eat, and then they talked for a while.
In the middle of it, Chen Ke went to the restroom, and Jiang Kechu took out his phone again to call Wan Chu’er, but it was still turned off.
At this point, Jiang Kechu beca a bit restless, guessing whether Chuchu was deliberately ignoring him by turning off her phone. Could it be that she knew about his eting with Wei Feng last night?
The thought flashed through his mind, and Jiang Kechu imdiately called the old residence’s phone. It was Mrs. Zhu who answered, and she said Chuchu had taken the kids out to play.
But Jiang Kechu did not hang up imdiately; he thought for a mont and then inquired about the old man’s health, asking if it was convenient for him to talk, as he wanted to send his regards.
Mrs. Zhu said, "The old sir has gone out to see a visitor."
The old sir was out, and naturally, Li Shan would be accompanying him at his side, so Jiang Kechu did not inquire further about Li Shan and hung up sowhat disheartened.
In the courtyard, Li Shan asked the old sir who was taking a walk, "Why not just answer his call and tell him that Chuchu doesn’t need him anymore, and that she has been so angered that she has left ho?"
It caused his dear Xiao Yu to be taken away too, and he didn’t know when he could see Xiao Yu again.
Old Sir Zhong indifferently said, "The matters between the couple should naturally be handled by them alone to truly resolve the fundantal issues."
Jiang Kechu stared at the phone deep in thought when Chen Ke ca back. Chen Ke imdiately noticed Jiang Kechu’s distracted state and asked, "What’s wrong?"
Initially, Jiang Kechu was not planning to tell Chen Ke, but after hesitating for two seconds, he decided to seek soone else’s help to confirm his uneasiness and suspicion.
"I can’t get through to your sister-in-law’s phone, and I can’t contact her now."
Chen Ke, being a deep thinker, pondered for a mont before directly asking, "Have you and sister-in-law had any conflicts recently?"
Jiang Kechu nodded, and with that nod, he imdiately felt that sothing was really wrong. He recalled Wan Chu’er ntioning multiple tis her intentions of leaving, and a shock ran through his heart, prompting him to stand up abruptly.
Chen Ke looked at Jiang Kechu in surprise, noticing his face had turned pale, a clear indication that sothing serious had occurred.
"Captain Jiang, try making a few more calls, check with her relatives and places she frequently visits, perhaps she’s just out playing sowhere."
Indeed, this was the right advice; Wan Chu’er was currently not really soaring at ten thousand ters altitude, but rather playing with Chuanqi and the Hunter.
Jiang Kechu shakily took out his phone and imdiately dialed Li Shan’s number. At first, after several attempts with no one answering, Jiang Kechu keenly suspected that Li Shan was deliberately avoiding his calls, thinking Li Shan was too clever to not hear the phone.
It must be that Li Shan knew sothing; therefore, he was deliberately not answering the calls, or perhaps Li Shan was expressing his displeasure with him through this act.
Jiang Kechu persisted, and finally, on the sixth try, he got through to Li Shan.
"Enough already!?" As soon as Li Shan answered, he unleashed a torrent of dissatisfaction. He was still waiting for Xiao Yu to call him; what if his phone ran out of battery?
Hearing this scolding, Jiang Kechu was sure of one thing: Wan Chu’er had indeed gone into hiding, and Li Shan indeed knew Wan Chu’er’s whereabouts.
"Where are Chuchu and the kids?" So, Jiang Kechu didn’t beat around the bush and imdiately asked.
Li Shan huffed, "I don’t know. Stop calling ."
"Where is Chuchu? I need to talk to her." Jiang Kechu anxiously asked.
Li Shan ignored him and hung up the phone rcilessly.
No sooner had he hung up the phone, it started ringing again relentlessly, without end. Li Shan picked up the phone again, irritated.
"You can stop calling, I won’t tell you."
He really didn’t know, he had no idea where Wan Chu’er bought the flight ticket. Wan Chu’er had picked up the ticket herself and tucked it into her purse. He hadn’t seen it.
Jiang Kechu urgently said, "What about the old man? I want to speak to the old man."
Li Shan looked up at Old Sir Zhong, then said, "Old Sir Zhong said you all should solve your own problems."
This ti, Jiang Kechu did not call back after the phone was hung up.
Good, Chuchu really has gone into hiding!
Jiang Kechu suddenly felt powerless and panicked. Where could Chuchu have gone? He prayed in his heart that Chuchu was just throwing a small tantrum and would show up soon, but his heart was filled with fear.
He tried calling Wan Chu’er again, but her phone was still turned off.
Jiang Kechu then called Xiao Bai, who picked up easily. However, Xiao Bai didn’t know where Wan Chu’er had gone either. He had no idea what had happened between them and even joked, "You’ve co to looking for your wife?"
It seed he didn’t know; if Xiao Bai knew, then Xiaoxiao would know, and if Xiaoxiao knew, he would know.
It seed Wan Chu’er hadn’t told Xiao Bai.
Jiang Kechu tried the phones at Jinse Garden and the compound, but still couldn’t find any trace of Wan Chu’er.
He even called Yan Hui and An Gang, but still, ca up empty-handed.
Yan Hui was sly, and he could sll sothing was off with just one sentence. He didn’t pester Jiang Kechu with questions, but instead called Wan Chu’er right after Jiang Kechu hung up, only to find her phone turned off too.
Yan Hui thought for a mont, then called Li Shan. Although Li Shan, upon Old Sir Zhong’s advice, was supposed to keep silent, he inadvertently said, "I don’t know where they want to go."
This basically confird the suspicions, making everything clear.
Yan Hui didn’t press Li Shan further but imdiately made a few calls to ask people to help look into Wan Chu’er’s whereabouts.
Watching Captain Jiang struggle helplessly like a trapped animal, Chen Ke felt sowhat sorry for him, and after thinking a bit, he said, "Well... Mai Qiqi and your sister-in-law are close, right? Why not ask her? Maybe she knows."
Right, Mai Qiqi is Wan Chu’er’s best friend in Beijing; the probability that she knows is high.
When Mai Qiqi received the call from Jiang Kechu, she was watching cartoons with Little Li Zi and Erya. These two siblings hadn’t watched much TV before and now they are addicted to cartoons.
"Hello, Jiang Kechu?" After a mont of surprise, Mai Qiqi imdiately covered the phone and walked to the corner, then huffed angrily, "You still have the nerve to call!"
Hearing this, Jiang Kechu’s panicked heart finally found a slight grounding. He skillfully asked, "Is Chuchu very angry?"
Mai Qiqi did not know that Wan Chu’er had left, and imdiately retorted, "Of course! Who wouldn’t be angry? Her own husband not coming ho in the middle of the night, staying in a bar with another woman. Do you think Chuchu wouldn’t be angry?"
"Jiang Kechu, what are you trying to do? Are you trying to play both ends? Still attached to your ex? How could you do this to Chuchu?"
At this, Jiang Kechu nearly collapsed to the ground, his mind echoing only two words, "It’s over!"
