It was quite the coincidence that the last train tonight from Provincial City to Ling County had arrived.
Unfortunately, Wang Xiaofang was not on this train.
The two of them also looked around nearby to see if they could spot Wang Xiaofang.
But still, there was no sight of her.
"Sister, given the situation now, what should we do?" It was already winter, and Cousin Zhao shivered as the cold wind blew and asked.
Xia Chuyi pursed her lips and did not respond to Cousin Zhao.
For some reason, failing to find her suddenly gave her a bad premonition.
"We’ll wait another day, and if we still can’t find her, I’ll go to Provincial City," Xia Chuyi decided promptly.
Wang Xiaofang had run away from home after a romantic breakup, and Xia Chuyi was somewhat worried about her.
In the past, she herself had run away to work down south because of gossip, and two years later, her family tricked her into coming back, which led to them forcing her to marry a cripple.
Finally, Xia Chengzong allowed her to leave and she went down south again.
That time, her emotions were even more shattered than before, so inadvertently, she was tricked into a place she should not have been.
Nowadays, the south was developing rapidly economically.
With technology and economy developing too fast, it led to some people with low integrity increasing their misdeeds,
"Xiao Gui, let’s look around nearby again," Xia Chuyi said.
However, no matter how much they searched, they still couldn’t find any trace of Wang Xiaofang.
With a sigh, Xia Chuyi had no choice but to tell Cousin Zhao, "Let’s come back tomorrow."
After returning home, Xia Chuyi was so preoccupied that she tossed and turned, unable to sleep a wink.
As soon as day broke, Xia Chuyi finished washing up and went straight to the station.
Before leaving, she said to Uncle Xia and others, "Uncle, Aunt, if we still can’t find her today, I might make a trip to Provincial City."
"Don’t worry about me."
Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia were very understanding. Knowing the importance of the matter, they did not stop her.
Aunt Xia said, "Then take more money with you, just in case!"
Xia Chuyi nodded and said, "Don’t worry, I have it with me."
Of course, it was in her space.
She went to both the bus and train stations, meticulously recorded all the schedules from Provincial City to Ling County, and then planned to first visit those locations based on the schedule.
However, her search efforts continued into the afternoon without any results.
Eventually, before it got dark, she boarded the express train to Provincial City.
Since her decision to take the train was last minute, Conductor Kang, unable to swap shifts in time to accommodate her, had to entrust her to a conductor he knew and then returned to the train station office to call Huo Shiqian.
"I understand, I’ll make arrangements."
After hanging up the phone, Huo Shiqian immediately contacted someone he knew in the Provincial City forces.
Upon arriving in Provincial City and getting off the train, the conductor entrusted by Conductor Kang told her, "Conductor Kang said that someone here in Provincial City will come to pick you up, Mr. Xia. When you get off the train, you might want to look out for them."
Xia Chuyi was initially surprised, then said, "Okay, thank you."
She had guessed that perhaps Conductor Kang had informed Huo Shiqian about the matter.
After disembarking, she indeed saw someone holding up a sign with her name.
She walked over and saw that the person holding the sign was from the military.
"Hello, little sister-in-law!" The person exclaimed excitedly.
This familiar style of approach left Xia Chuyi speechless: ...
