CHAPTER 130: CHAPTER 130: THE HEART THAT WAS FINALLY LAID TO REST

When will those demons finally let her go...

Ask for help?

She tried, but it was useless.

She didn’t tell her brother, afraid he’d worry about her.

Those people have connections, and she’s afraid her brother might act impulsively because of her.

She also informed the teacher right away, who approached those people, but they weren’t afraid of the teacher at all...

The next day, Lin Hao made breakfast, and after eating, he went to work.

With her brother around, Lin Xiaoyan didn’t feel so rushed.

She still wanted to wait for news from Lin Feng.

Just as she finished tidying up and was about to leave, Lin Xiaoyan finally received a call from Lin Feng.

Seeing Lin Feng calling, her eyes lit up. She immediately took out the bank card she had already prepared, ready to check it when Lin Feng confirmed the card number with her.

"Hello, Master Lin," she answered.

On the other end, Lin Feng heard Lin Xiaoyan’s delighted voice, and his heart, once mocked by those in the chat group, felt warm.

"Hello, Lin Xiaoyou," he replied.

"Master Lin, how was it last night? Did the task go smoothly?" Lin Xiaoyan asked expectantly.

Lin Feng’s face froze, and he felt a deep sense of regret.

"I’m sorry, Lin Xiaoyou, I let you down. Those three ghosts were just too cunning..."

Lin Xiaoyan: Her hanging heart finally died!

"Oh..."

Hearing the evident disappointment in Lin Xiaoyan’s voice, Lin Feng quickly said, "But don’t worry, I’ll rest for two days, and I’ll continue with this task. Rest assured! I’ll definitely nail this task!"

Lin Xiaoyan didn’t know what to say. She thought about how, for this trip to Sichuan, she spent her own money on everything except the train tickets!

And now, she hadn’t earned anything and even lost some...

"Oh, take care then..." Lin Xiaoyan said weakly.

"I shall, don’t worry about me, Lin Xiaoyou. I’m fine! If there’s one thing I’m good at, it’s staying alive!

My master always says..."

Listening to Lin Feng’s endless chatter, Lin Xiaoyan felt a throb in her head.

"Um... Master Lin, I’m at the elevator now where the signal is bad..."

"Uh... oh, okay, then let’s hang up for now; we can chat later when we have the chance..."

"Alright."

Lin Xiaoyan immediately hung up, afraid that if she was a second too late, he would start rambling again.

When she reached the first-floor entrance, she realized it was raining.

Lin Xiaoyan went to the supermarket to buy an umbrella and walked to the metro.

She hadn’t planned on going to the store today; there’s already a manager there so she didn’t have to go.

But she thought of Li Jing, so she wanted to make a trip to the police station to ask about Li Jing and Li Wen’s situation to see if there was any progress.

Thinking of that shy and sensitive girl, she hoped the child wouldn’t keep getting bullied and mistreated...

Hopefully, it could be resolved soon so she could study in peace.

Once she got on the metro, Lin Xiaoyan just sat down and saw a man across from her holding a sign with one hand and a phone with the other, seemingly taking a selfie or something.

Lin Xiaoyan glanced at the man, surprise flickering in her eyes. This person was handsome and seemed familiar, like the good-looking guy she had seen before on the metro.

"Wow, handsome guy, you’re here again!"

"You’ve been taking this line for over a month; have you found your girlfriend yet?"

The man gave a wry smile, his melancholic gaze making his face even more attractive.

The girls who were gradually boarding the train silently screamed at the sight—it was overwhelming!

The man shook his head bitterly, "Not yet."

"Wow, if I had a boyfriend so devoted and focused on me, I’d probably die happy!"

"Me too! Me too! And he’s so handsome!"

"His girlfriend doesn’t know what she’s missing out on. Just because they argued, she vanished, making him hunt for her this long, it’s crazy!"

"Yeah, if she doesn’t want him, I do!"

"I want him too!!!"

...

Lin Xiaoyan was squeezed into a corner, curiously listening to the girls’ chatter, gleaning some information from their words.

It seemed like this handsome guy took this metro line every day to look for his girlfriend.

He had a fight with his girlfriend, and then she left without contacting him, so he’s looking for her, with no choice but to look every day...

Lin Xiaoyan frowned; why not report to the police? Why take the metro every day?

And if the person was determined to leave, it must mean the decision to break up was made!

Lin Xiaoyan looked down and logged into Douyin, inputting the account name mentioned by those girls just now.

When she entered, she saw the handsome guy live streaming; shockingly, the audience exceeded 100,000!

And everyone in the stream was talking about how handsome the man was!

Some were praising the man’s passion and dedication!

Others were providing some information...

Seeing this, Lin Xiaoyan instinctively felt something was off, and she looked up at the man opposite, who was now gazing melancholically at the camera.

"Lingling, I know you’re still mad at me; I’ve realized my mistake. It was my fault not being there for your birthday..."

She didn’t listen to what he said after since she had reached her stop.

"Tsk, young people these days play all sorts of games, searching for someone and making all this fuss online, tsk!"

An elderly man exiting with her shook his head in amazement.

"Yes, the girl’s gone, but he’s acting all soulful here; it’s so fake, just deceiving these young girls."

"The guy looks decent, probably wants to get famous or something..."

The people exiting with her discussed as they walked.

Lin Xiaoyan overheard a bit and then turned a corner.

Though she didn’t know if that man’s situation was real or fake, if she ever met someone who truly loved her with the same single-minded dedication...

Thinking about it, her mind wandered again.

"Don’t think about it! Don’t think about it!"

Lin Xiaoyan patted her face to clear her head.

Yet, she knew inside that she felt somewhat disappointed.

Ever since that dinner, Yang Lin hadn’t contacted her again.

Lin Xiaoyan held her umbrella and walked to the police station; a gust of wind blew by, making her feel unusually clear-headed.

They were never the same kind of person...

Lin Xiaoyan shook her head, not wanting to think about it anymore.

At the police station, after greeting the officers, she headed to the office.

"Lin Xiaoyan?"

Hearing a familiar voice, Lin Xiaoyan looked up, "Jiang Rong!"

She saw Jiang Rong just coming out of the chief’s office, but she seemed a bit worse for wear.

Lin Xiaoyan quickly walked over, looking worriedly at Jiang Rong’s slightly pale face.

"What’s wrong? You don’t look so good."

Jiang Rong smiled faintly at Lin Xiaoyan, "It’s nothing serious."

"I heard something might happen to Li Wen’s sister, so I came to check the situation." Jiang Rong said to Lin Xiaoyan.

"Captain He just mentioned you found something."

Lin Xiaoyan nodded, "Yeah, that little girl..."
