Chapter 942 Leaving Without Saying Goodbye
Chu Feng and Han Yin were about the same age, and they were usually the ones accompanying each other. They had been together since childhood, and Chu Feng always protected Han Yin. Their bond was the deepest.
Knowing that Chu Feng was worried about Han Yin, Shen Hanxing didn"t try to persuade him. She just said, "Later, I"ll have someone bring a coat for you. If you"re tired, go to the nearby hotel and sleep for the night. Don"t force yourself, okay?"
In today"s society governed by the rule of law, the police wouldn"t use any special methods during questioning. As a suspect, Han Yin would be repeatedly questioned. Her mental state might not be too good, but it wouldn"t be too bad either.
Chu Feng replied with a sound of absent-mindedness. It was obvious that he didn"t take Shen Hanxing"s words to heart.
Chu Feng had a delicate and pretty appearance, but he was usually quiet and seemed reserved. At this moment, his face showed stubbornness.
Shen Hanxing fell silent for a moment before speaking with a slightly bitter tone, "What about Xiao Yu? Didn"t you inform him?"
Shen Hanxing had been preoccupied with Han Yin"s matter and had not paid much attention to it. It was already late at night, but Xiao Yu had not appeared. No matter how she looked at it, something was not right.
Upon hearing Shen Hanxing"s words, Chu Feng froze, and a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes. "I called Brother Xiao Yu, but I couldn"t reach him. Maybe he"s busy with something..."
"Chu Feng, when did you learn to lie?" Shen Hanxing narrowed her eyes. "At a time like this, you still want to hide it from me?"
"No, no..." Chu Feng hastily waved his hand, not daring to conceal anything. "I didn"t lie on purpose. Brother Xiao Yu didn"t let me say anything..." He scratched his head and closed his eyes. "Brother Xiao Yu left a week ago..."
"He left a week ago?" Shen Hanxing looked up in disbelief. "He just left like that?" She couldn"t believe that Xiao Yu had left without a word. A week ago? Didn"t that mean he left not long after the banquet ended?
"Except for me, Brother Xiao Yu didn"t tell anyone, not even Han Yin," Chu Feng said, pursing his lips and speaking honestly. "Brother Xiao Yu said we"ll still be able to meet in the future. He didn"t want to make it seem like a permanent separation. He asked me to tell you after a month."
In reality, Chu Feng lost contact with Xiao Yu after he went abroad. Calling his number in China would result in a switched-off phone, and Xiao Yu didn"t proactively contact them to ensure his safety. It was as if he had disappeared. If it weren"t for his house in the slums, Chu Feng would have doubted whether Xiao Yu truly existed by his side.
Shen Hanxing clenched her fists. The four-leaf clover bracelet on her wrist hung loosely, slightly cool to the touch. Her throat felt blocked. She hadn"t even had a chance to meet Xiao Yu"s parents or verify the truth of the matter, and now Xiao Yu had left? With Xiao Yu"s personality, he would never sever contact with them just because he became wealthy. However, it was a fact that he had gone overseas and lost touch. What had happened?
Shen Hanxing"s face turned unsightly, making Chu Feng feel uneasy. He asked hesitantly, "Sister Hanxing, are you angry?"
"Angry? What is there to be angry about?" Shen Hanxing sneered, curling her lips. "Xiao Yu is already an adult. I have no right to interfere with his decisions. Let him do as he pleases."
Shen Hanxing raised her hand, signaling Chu Feng to stop speaking. She said, "Alright, the most important thing now is Han Yin. We can discuss Xiao Yu"s matters later. Take care of yourself, and we"ll leave now." She asked the policewoman to take good care of Han Yin and turned away, walking away with determination. Her high heels made a m.u.f.fled sound as she stepped on the ground, releasing her frustration.
There was a hint of helplessness in Ji Yan"s eyes. He caught up with Shen Hanxing, grabbing her delicate wrist and slowly prying her fingers open. Due to exerting too much force, Shen Hanxing"s palm bore the marks of his nails.
"Mr. Ji..." Seeing Ji Yan"s expression, Shen Hanxing felt inexplicably guilty and tentatively pulled her hand back. "It doesn"t hurt. It"s getting late. Let"s go back, shall we?"
"Even if Madam is upset, please don"t resort to hurting yourself as a means of venting." Ji Yan maintained a calm demeanor as he looked into Shen Hanxing"s eyes. "Madam, if you can"t find relief, you can vent your anger on me. You can hit me or scold me. I have thick skin and can endure the pain."
Since Ji Yan had spoken, Shen Hanxing couldn"t hold onto her anger. She sighed and said, "I just didn"t expect Xiao Yu to leave without saying anything. Moreover, I can"t shake off the feeling that his biological parents aren"t as good as they seem. I"m worried that something might happen to him."
