Mo Yixuan arrived at the 12th block of the western district and rang the doorbell of unit #19-01. He rang the doorbell over and over again and felt as though his heart was about to burst out of his chest.

He wanted nothing more than to see his wife on the other side of the door and hoped that she would return home with him. He knew that Ye Hao was also looking for Yan Yan, so he hoped that he could find her before Ye Hao did.

After ringing the doorbell several times, he frowned when there was no response and started banging on the door hard with his hands. He pounded on the door so loudly that even the neighboring unit could hear him.

A middle-aged couple lived next door in unit #19-03 and when they opened the door, he saw that they were about 50 years of age.

The middle-aged woman looked at Mo Yixuan and said, “Young man, there’s no use pounding on that door. The occupant of that unit left this morning around 8 AM, and there’s no one in the house right now.”

Mo Yixuan quickly turned to look at them and his brow arched as he asked the middle-aged woman, “Do you know where her office is at?”

He sounded very anxious. All he wanted to do was to find Xu Jing and ask if she knew where did Yan Yan and Yuan Yuan go.

The middle-aged woman shook her apologetically. “I don’t know. Strangely, another man had come by earlier looking for her. Are you working together with him?” She sounded very curious and eyed this handsome man in front of her with a strange look in her eyes. She could tell from his aura and clothes that he definitely had a good job and was very successful in the workplace. He looked so handsome and masculine, and she had an unmarried daughter, so if her daughter could…

Mo Yixuan’s brows slammed together in a deep frown. He didn’t need to ask any further to know that the man that the woman mentioned was Ye Hao. Ye Hao had been here before him. He was so annoyed that he was one step behind Ye Hao that he slammed his fist against the wall in frustration.

“Aunty, could I ask if you saw a young mother and her son entering this unit yesterday? The mother is her twenties while her son would look around one to two years old,” Mo Yixuan asked once more. His anxiety and concern were clearly reflected in his tired eyes and it had been a while since he last slept.

The middle-aged woman scratched her head and thought for a moment before she nodded. “There was indeed a mother and her son who were guests at the unit next door but I think they left around 7 AM this morning. Who exactly are you looking for?”

The middle-aged woman was completely bewildered. Why was this man asking the same questions as the man who came before him?

“Alright, thanks,” Mo Yixuan quickly left before the middle-aged woman could say another word. He entered the elevator and after he walked out of the elevator, he dug out his phone and dialed the number of the policeman he was liaising with.

“I don’t think she’s at Chuan City anymore. Please look into whether my ex-wife had made any credit card transactions or had withdrawn any cash from her bank account, or maybe even used any other forms of payment. If she had, please let me know the address of the places she visited as soon as possible.”

They were now living in such a highly developed society that he didn’t believe that a person could just vanish into thin air. As long as she was still out and about, he could definitely find her. Moreover, he had to get to her before Ye Hao did, then bring them home.

He Xiyan was on her way back to her hometown and Xu Jing’s cousin was giving them a ride. They were now about 700 kilometers away from Chuan City and were taking turns at the wheel so that there was no need to rest.

However, this was a journey that was more than 1,000 kilometers, so they were feeling a little fatigued. It was already past 9 PM by the time they reached her home down and He Xiyan stuffed $850 into her Xu Jing’s cousin’s hand and thanked him for sending her back. Then, she carried Yuan Yuan into the house that actually belonged to her, a place that she could truly call home.
