Hai Xiaotang glanced at him, testing the waters, “Did you really not say anything when you went looking for Grandpa that day?”
“Nothing!” Dongfang Yu answered quite crisply.
Hai Xiaotang didn’t ask anymore. Since he said there was nothing, then there must really be nothing.
Perhaps, Grandpa was kidnapped. The culprit is probably Hua Dongliang’s sworn brother, that Huo Jun descendent.
As Grandpa had apprehended Huo Jun’s youngest son, he might have other descendants, hence they could have sought revenge on Grandpa.
Hai Xiaotang shared her thought, to which Dongfang Yu nodded, “We have considered this possibility and can’t rule it out.”
Hai Xiaotang became more anxious, “If indeed they did it, they definitely won’t treat Grandpa well!”
“However, it evidently seems like the old man deliberately ran away from home.” Dongfang Yu added, “So, he might not necessarily be in danger.”
“How do you know?” Hai Xiaotang was surprised.
Dongfang Yu glanced at her, “The surveillance shows his car leaving town all by itself. He was the one who left the city, no one kidnapped him or took him away, thus I conclude that he deliberately ran away from home.”
Relieved by his explanation, Hai Xiaotang felt somewhat comforted.
“But why would Grandpa want to leave?”
Dongfang Yu shook his head, indicating he didn’t know.
Indeed, how would he know? If he did, Grandpa might have already been found.
Hai Xiaotang didn’t mind why Grandpa ran away from home, she only hoped he was okay.
The journey to L County would take about 2 hours by car. Hai Xiaotang and her company made haste, arriving in the shortest possible time.
Hai Zhiyuan’s car was found atop a deserted hill.
When Hai Xiaotang arrived at the scene, she saw a lot of police officers searching the surrounding area.
The police from C City had already rushed over.
Dongfang Yu took Hai Xiaotang to inquire about the situation. The police said there were no signs of struggle in the car, and no traces of Hai Zhiyuan found in the vicinity, hence they couldn’t determine his current circumstances.
Any hope lies in not finding the person.
The tension that Hai Xiaotang had been feeling eased somewhat. However, the police were diligent in their investigation, still continuing the search around the area.
Hai Xiaotang and Dongfang Yu waited in the car without leaving.
…
As darkness gradually fell, the police found nothing and decided to retreat.
Dongfang Yu and Hai Xiaotang had no choice but to return and wait for news.
After a day of exhaustion, Hai Xiaotang was very tired. She leant against the back of the seat expressionlessly, physically and mentally drained, yet she couldn’t fall asleep.
Suddenly, Dongfang Yu stopped the car on the street, got out, and went into a supermarket.
Hai Xiaotang didn’t know what he was doing, but shortly after, she saw him come back with a bag of food.
Back in the car, Dongfang Yu handed the bag to her, saying nonchalantly, “Eat this on the way back.”
Hai Xiaotang was slightly startled, and looked down at the stuff he bought.
Two bottles of water, a few packs of bread, and some cookies.
Only then did Hai Xiaotang remember that they hadn’t eaten all day, but she didn’t even feel hungry!
However, Hai Xiaotang decided to eat some anyway.
She took out a pack of bread and a bottle of water, handed the rest to him, “Thank you, you should eat too.”
Dongfang Yu didn’t look at her, just started the car to leave, “I don’t eat these.”
Hai Xiaotang was surprised, “Aren’t you hungry?”
“Not hungry!”
He bought it even though he’s not hungry…
Did he specifically buy it for her?
Hai Xiaotang realized she couldn’t understand Dongfang Yu anymore, didn’t he wish to never see her again?
