Chapter 662: She Couldn’t Be Contacted
“This is Shu Man. Ye Hao, when was the last time you spoke with my sister?” the person on the other end of the line sounded very anxious and her worry and uneasiness were evident in her voice.
Ye Hao tensed and his heart seemed to stop at the moment. The anger and frustration he had felt earlier instantly vanished and was replaced by worry and alarm.
He was sure that this voice definitely belonged to Shu Man.
“Two, two weeks ago,’ Ye Hao said. He immediately sensed that something was wrong and his eyes suddenly widened while worry and concern flashed past his face. The last time he had seen her was when he had gone to find her at her apartment and the next time when he tried contacting her was today when he dialed her number.
“Shu Man, what’s wrong with Yan Yan?” Ye Hao asked worriedly. His face that had paled earlier now turned red, and his fingers that gripped his phone started to tremble for some inexplicable reason.
Shu Man sounded very concerned at the other end of the line.
“I haven’t been able to contact my sister for the past couple of days. I sent her a voice message the day before yesterday and noticed that she had not responded. When I tried calling her number yesterday, I received an automated message that her phone was turned off. When I tried calling her number today, I received the message that her phone was still turned off. I haven’t been able to sleep the entire night and I’ve been so worried that something might have happened to her, that’s why I decided to call you. Do you know what her address is?” Shu Man asked.
She didn’t realize that after she spoke, Ye Hao had already anxiously walked out of his office. His face was bright red, he was full of anxiety, and his footsteps were hurried.
Ye Hao practically ran toward the elevator, headed down to the basement, took his car, and headed north as fast as he could. His instincts told him that something must have happened to her. She might ignore his messages and his calls, but she didn’t have any reason to ignore Shu Man. After all, she had spent so much effort to search for her long-lost sister.
He had resented her for her heartlessness and for not loving him and their child as much as he loved her, but at that very moment, all he wanted was for her to be safe and sound.
Please let her be okay.
Her apartment at the northern part of the city was more than 50 kilometers from his office and he drove as fast as he could but it was already peak hour, so after making his way past the traffic and the red lights, it was already past nine in the morning by the time he got to her apartment.
Shu Man had also arrived not long ago.
After they met at the lobby, they worriedly took the elevator up to the 15th floor.
“Is this it? Unit 15-07?” Shu Man asked as she pointed at the door that had the numbers ’15-07? on it.
Ye Hao reached out and knocked hard on the door.
There was no reaction at all.
The two of them froze when they realized that something was terribly wrong and their heart clenched even tighter.
“Sis, are you there?” Shu Man shouted from the outside when she couldn’t detect any sound from within the house.
“Sis, are you there?” she shouted once more. “It’s me, Man Man. Could you please open the door if you’re in there?”
Shu Man said she pounded on the door and with each knock, she became even more worried. She knew that her sister had taken a leave of absence from work and was definitely not in the office. She didn’t know where else her sister would have gone if she wasn’t at home.
Shu Man and Ye Hao spent several minutes knocking and shouting but there was no response. There was clearly no one at home.
However, the door to the neighboring unit 15-06 opened and it was a woman dressed in her home wear. She was a young woman who was still nursing her baby at home.
