Chapter 683 - Smile

Cheng Che had lost a lot of weight in just three days. If it weren’t for Song Ning’s acupuncture treatment and Chinese medicine, and if it weren’t for his determination, he would have long collapsed before Jiahui was found.

Han Mo and Xiao An had put all their tasks aside and were focused on looking for Jiahui.

Zhuang Ning’s visit was a little out of everyone’s expectations. She was also shocked when she saw Cheng Che. She looked at Song Ning, puzzled. After Song Ning explained everything to her, she felt that everything was too unbelievable. Her mind was racing as thoughts flitted swiftly through her mind; her thoughts were fleeting, and she could not grasp them. She asked, “Did you call the police?”

Song Ning nodded and said in a low voice, “Mu Chen and Cheng Che’s men are probably more efficient than the police. The police have to follow procedures for everything so they’re naturally slower.”

Zhuang Ning looked at the four computers and piles of paper that covered the huge table.

Xiao An said grimly, “The last person whom Dr. An saw that day was Miss Guan. However, it’s really too strange. After the two of them went their separate ways, Dr. An disappeared without a trace. I checked the surveillance footage multiple times, but I really can’t find anything.”

Xiao An pointed at the screen of one of the computers. The person on the screen was Guan Tang, and Jiahui’s back could be seen in the distance. On the blurry screen, the smile on Guan Tang’s face could be vaguely seen.

Zhuang Ning’s heart skipped a beat. She walked to the front of the computer screen and pointed at it as she said, “This is Guan Tang.”

Everyone looked at Zhuang Ning in surprise.

Song Ning hastily asked, “Do you know her?”

Zhuang Ning looked at Cheng Che. “What does she have to do with Jiahui’s disappearance?”

Cheng Che’s eyes were sunken. For a moment, he did not react to Zhuang Ning’s question.

Zhuang Ning turned to Mu Chen and asked anxiously, “How does she know Jiahui?”

Mu Chen knew that something was amiss. He quickly told Zhuang Ning everything in detail, including Guan Tang’s identity.

Zhuang Ning was stunned.

“Zhuang Ning…” Song Ning called out softly.

Zhuang Ning raised her hand immediately and stopped Song Ning from speaking. “Don’t talk. Let me think.”

There was too much messy information in Zhuang Ning’s mind; she did not know how to organize it. She looked at Guan Tang on the computer screen. Although Guan Tang’s smile was a little blurry, she was very familiar with this smile. She had been looking at it for an entire night. She was very clear when such a smile would appear on Guan Tang’s face. However, she could not connect the dots; she felt as though the answer was just slightly out of her reach.

Zhuang Ning pulled a chair out and sat down. She accepted the glass of water that Song Ning handed her and drained it in a gulp. Alas, the water failed to extinguish the anxiety and sense of urgency in her heart.

Everyone looked at Zhuang Ning. Even the dazed Cheng Che was looking at her with burning eyes.

Zhuang Ning looked at Cheng Che and said slowly, “If you return to the Yin family and become Young Master Yin, Guan Tang will be your fiancee?”

Cheng Che hesitated briefly before he nodded and said in a hoarse voice, “Yes, but I don’t want to return to the Yin family.”

Zhuang Ning only cared about the first half of Cheng Che’s sentence. She said, “So Jiahui is Guan Tang’s biggest stumbling block, right? With her around, Guan Tang won’t be able to marry you, right?”

Cheng Che did not quite get what Zhuang Ning was trying to say. He said slowly, “She told me that she knew about my relationship with Jiahui. She said our marriage was arranged by our mothers so it doesn’t count. She also went to look for Jiahui to explain everything.”

Cheng Che trembled before he looked at Mu Chen as though he was asking for help.
