Chapter 493 - 140 Brewing Headlines Settling Scores after Autumn_7
...
"Ahhhh... Can’t you just fart and be over with it?"
"Hahaha...." Mai Zheng, leaning on the door frame, laughed until he was out of breath, and tears streamed down his face, "Brother Jie, even if you shout your throat hoarse, he won’t pay attention to you."
Guan Jie, frustrated, was scratching his head and ears, "Your girlfriend is really inconsiderate. Break up with her, do it quickly."
"What should I do, I’ve already fallen for him. Break up, I simply can’t, ah." Mai Zheng said with a teasing smile.
"What does a little brat like you know about love? Let me tell you, this girl is clueless. I’ll introduce someone better to you in the future. Make a clean break, or you’ll only invite chaos. Trust me, I’m right." Guan Jie lectured him as if he’s been through it all.
Mai Zheng shook his head, smiling, "Forget it, I can’t be bothered to explain. You’ll understand one day."
Yun Miao had been aloof and detached as if he was an outsider, completely oblivious to what had just happened, and Mai Zheng couldn’t help but feel envious of him.
Such a simple, pure world without so many worries, how nice that would be.
After getting off the cruise ship and setting foot on Jiangzhou land, Yun Miao looked at the familiar sky, his gaze somewhat absent.
"What are you thinking about? Let’s go." Mai Zheng went to pull him.
Yun Miao took a step back, took out paper and pen, and wrote a line to him [You said you would take me to find my sister, you can’t go back on your word]
"Of course I’ll keep my word, but I have some other things to take care of first. Once that’s done, I’ll take you to find Ji Yunya, okay?"
Yun Miao pursed his lips and wrote another line.
[If you dare to deceive me, my sister will definitely not let you off]
Mai Zheng couldn’t help but laugh, "I know your sister is formidable. I still have a shadow in my heart from her. How could I dare to bully her brother? Would an oath suffice..."
After finally placating Yun Miao, Mai Zheng took him into the car and rushed towards the TV station.
——
By noon, there was still no news from Ruan Songxi. Ruan Songxi had even contacted the police, expanding the search from the airport as the center, but there was still no sign at all.
It was as if he had vanished from the face of the earth.
Yun Ya was restless and burning with anxiety. With each passing minute, her discomfort grew.
Miaomiao was picky with his food. How could he have enough to eat all alone outside? He might not even have a meal. What if he ran into bad people? What if he was abducted?
She had heard of many traffickers who sold people into remote coal mines to toil away, suffering abuse every day. If Miaomiao encountered such a thing...
She dared not continue the thought.
Yan Song held out food to feed her, "You haven’t eaten anything since this morning. You can’t go on like this. Have some porridge first to warm up your stomach, open your mouth."
Yun Ya shook her head, "I don’t want to eat." How could she possibly have any appetite when Miaomiao was not found? Just thinking of Miaomiao being hungry made her unable to swallow a sip of water.
Yan Song felt both heartache and difficulty, "You can’t fall before Miaomiao is found. What would happen when Miaomiao comes back? Be good, open your mouth. I’ll feed you."
Yun Ya pursed her lips, opened her mouth, and Yan Song fed her the porridge. Yun Ya managed only a few mouthfuls before she couldn’t eat anymore.
Yan Song didn’t force her and finished the remaining half-bowl himself, accompanying her as they waited for news about Miaomiao.
When evening came, there was still no news.
Yun Ya requested the surveillance footage from the airport for that time. Others might not recognize Miaomiao, but she certainly would not mistake him. However, with so many security cameras each having different angles, it would take days and nights to watch all the footage. Yan Song told her to rest while he watched, but Yun Ya said, "You haven’t lived with Miaomiao. You might not recognize him if he changed his clothes. And because surveillance doesn’t capture clear faces, you might miss him. I have to do it myself."
In this world, nobody knew Miaomiao better than she did. Even if he stood amidst a crowd, she could spot him at a glance.
By midnight, Yun Ya’s eyes had gone numb, but she hadn’t found a single trace. The airport had been in chaos with people everywhere; searching for one person in such a mess was like finding a needle in a haystack.
Yan Song told her to rest, but she persisted, "I can’t sleep without finding Miaomiao."
Yan Song, feeling helpless, joined her in the search. In the end, leaning on his shoulder, Yun Ya fell asleep.
She was utterly exhausted, her face pale and her brows tightly furrowed, making anyone who saw her feel deeply distressed.
Yan Song sighed, cradled her in his arms, covered her with his jacket, and continued to watch the surveillance.
At four in the morning, Yun Ya awoke abruptly.
"Miaomiao~"
Yan Song, his eyelids fighting to stay open, held her in his embrace, "It’s still early, sleep a bit more."
