Chapter 1010: Chapter 1020: Starting Over (8)

Cheng Juye just laughed, “She’s a grown woman, and she just ran off without a word, and for half a year at that. If she really didn’t want to get engaged, she could have told us earlier, and we wouldn’t have forced her, right? But to just leave like that without any news, it’s really a bit too much!”

However, he didn’t mention that if Jian Anning hadn’t run away, they would have likely pressured her to get engaged to Situ Xuan! And with her gone, without having resorted to any schemes to coerce her, it made it seem like they were innocent.

Nevertheless, none of the people present would bring this up with him, not even Jian Panying, who at the time had considered marrying Jian Anning to the Situ Family.

“Alright, let’s go back to our room. Once we’re back, I’ll check with some of my contacts in the business community here to see if they know anyone in the police force. It’ll make it easier to find Anning.”

The others nodded, and after returning to their room, Cheng Juye immediately made a phone call to reach out to his contacts.

And sure enough, this friend really did know someone in the police force. Upon hearing that his daughter had run away out of spite and they didn’t know where she went, this friend thought Cheng Juye was a loving father and immediately arranged to meet him, taking him to the police station to look for her.

Meanwhile, Jian Panying also immediately said, “Should I go too? Anning has been gone for so long without even a phone call, I want to check for information too.”

Cheng Tingting and Cheng Wanli, naturally, were not exceptions. The four members of the Cheng Family immediately rushed to the police station introduced by their friend.

It’s no wonder, with today’s intelligence and integrated information systems, some fugitives have been on the run for decades, but eventually, the ubiquitous police still find clues. As for Jian Anning, although she’s not a citizen of Huaxia Country, she has flight records, and her passport can easily provide her information!

At the very least, they can find out which city she went to!

Sure enough, when they reached the police station, Cheng Juye put on the appearance of a concerned father, and told his old friend, “My daughter, you see, had a small issue at home and had some disagreements with us, so she ran away in a fit of anger. It’s been months now, and if it weren’t for a friend spotting her in Huaxia Country, we wouldn’t have come all this way looking for her. You see, at her age, how could she still act like this? It’s really worrying.”

When his friend heard that Cheng Juye had come all the way to Huaxia Country just to find his daughter, he was somewhat moved. He immediately told the nearby police captain, “Old Xu, did you hear that? You must help with this today! It’s not easy for him, coming all the way from Toronto. If you find any information, you must tell him!”

Cheng Juye also looked at Captain Xu, a face full of anxiety, “Yes, we’ve had no news from her for a long time, the family is going crazy with worry! You must help me find out anything about her!”

Captain Xu nodded, “Alright, tell me some information about your daughter.”

“Her name is Jian Anning. Jian as in ‘simple’, An as in ‘peace’, Ning as in ‘quiet’. My friend said she was spotted taking a flight in the afternoon, she should have used her passport,” Cheng Juye said, “but I don’t know her passport number…”

“No need to worry,” Captain Xu said, “Do you remember her place of birth, date of birth, or where her passport was issued?”
