“Hey, I say…”

Gao Ran looked back with a curse and froze when he saw it was Chen Yuning.

“This is the men’s room,” he reminded her.

“I’m sorry, Chief Gao. I’m drunk… and came in here by mistake.” Chen Yuning pretended to be unsteady on her legs.

“It’s okay. Go to the opposite room.”

Gao Ran thought it was highly embarrassing for a woman to go to the men’s room by mistake.

Chen Yuning nodded and turned; then she slipped and fell backward…

Before she could hit the ground, Gao Ran caught her at the last moment…

“Um… Thank you, Chief Gao.”

“It’s okay. Now get out of here.”

“Okay.”

Chen Yuning covered her face and stumbled out.

Gao Ran continued to do his business in the washroom and didn’t notice anything unusual.

Five minutes later.

Zhu Lingling was making fruit juice for Gao Boyuan when a beep came from her cellphone.

She found it was a photo in which Gao Ran seemed to be holding Chen Yuning…

The photo was blurry, and the background seemed to be a washroom, but Zhu Lingling still recognized the two people in the photo, especially her husband.

Seeing the photo, Zhu Lingling’s heart sank.

A strange number sent this photo and she knew without a doubt that it came from Chen Yuning.

But the photo didn’t look to be a result of photoshop.

Zhu Lingling put down the fruit juice she was making and called Gao Ran.

Gao Ran walked out into the corridor to answer the phone…

“Honey.”

“Honey, are you still at the feast?”

“Yeah.”

“Where are you?”

“A Sichuan restaurant in downtown.”

“Oh. Are the others all your colleagues?”

“Yeah.”

“Is Chen Yuning there?”

Hearing this question, Gao Ren knew something wasn’t right, so he decided to tell the truth.

“She is.”

“Then why didn’t you tell me?” Zhu Lingling was piqued.

“I was afraid you’d be angry.”

“Do you think I’m not angry now?” Zhu Lingling raised her voice.

“Lingling, if you don’t trust me, you can come and watch me.”

“It’s not necessary. You even hugged her and went to the washroom with her… What’s the use of watching you?”

“Hug? What do you mean?”

Gao Ran was puzzled.

Zhu Lingling hung up with a slam.

Anxious, Gao Ran dialed back but Zhu Lingling didn’t answer.

He was worried.

At this moment, a male police officer came out to go to the washroom.

“Little Zhu, come here.”

“Chief, what can I do for you?”

“Here is 5,000 yuan cash. Take it and pay the bill for me after the dinner is over… If you guys want to go to KTV, you pay for me, and I’ll reimburse you tomorrow.”

“How about you, chief?”

“I’ve some urgent business at home. I’ve got to go.”

“Oh. Okay.”

“You tell everyone for me.”

“Okay.”

Gao Ran raced back to home and found his wife and son were gone.

“Lingling… Boyuan…” No one answered him.

Gao Ran dialed Zhu Lingling’s number again but still no one answered him.

He immediately called Huo Mian.

To his surprise, Zhu Lingling didn’t go to their parents’ homes or Huo Mian’s home.

Where did his wife and son go?

Meanwhile, Zhu Lingling and Gao Boyuan were in a suite in a suburban five-star hotel.

“Mom, why don’t we go to Auntie Huo Mian’s home this time?” Gao Boyuan complained.
