Chapter 918: Chapter 918: No News Ever Since
“…Where is he?” Yun Xuefei suddenly murmured.
“I don’t know. I could only trace his departure records. His first stop was Country H, a place with the highest standards globally for AIDS prevention and control. But where exactly he is staying and what he plans to do, I have no idea, and I have no clue how to find him,” Huo Yanhui said softly.
Yun Xuefei looked up, her eyes appearing somewhat vacant: “So, apart from waiting for him to return, we have no other options, right?”
Huo Yanhui’s lips moved slightly; eventually, he nodded gently.
Jingyao would indeed send someone to follow the elder brother, but given his caution, whether those people could actually keep track of him is still unknown.
Yun Xuefei fell silent once again.
After a long silence, she suddenly stood up: “…I haven’t cooked yet. Tang Yuan must be hungry.” This update ıs available on NoveI-Fire.ɴet
Huo Yanhui’s lips moved slightly, but in the end, he said nothing: “Sister-in-law, I’ll head back first. I will contact you if there’s any news.”
Yun Xuefei was startled for a moment and then gently nodded.
When He Jingyao returned to Yanzhou City, the night was deep.
Zhixi had called him several times during the day, so she wasn’t worried. Seeing him back, she greeted him with a smile: “Jingyao, have you had dinner?”
“Mm, I had something simple on the plane.” He pulled her into his arms, sighing a little wearily.
“I’ve asked Uncle Li to leave some dinner for you; you should have some more,” Zhixi said softly, “And… how is Brother Huo?”
He Jingyao stroked her hair, not speaking for a moment.
It wasn’t until after He Jingyao finished supper that Zhixi learned what had happened.
She couldn’t help but bite her lip: “Then Sister Xuefei…”
“Yanhui has probably already informed her,” He Jingyao’s face slightly darkened. “The issue now is that we don’t know the actual situation with Yanzhao. I’ve already sent people to look for him. If things go smoothly, we should have answers in a few days.”
Zhixi nodded gently, feeling a bit heavy-hearted herself.
She hadn’t expected something to happen to Brother Huo.
He was clearly a doctor, and an excellent one at that. For him… this was truly a disaster beyond his control.
He Jingyao, seeing her low spirits, reached out to touch her face: “It’s okay. Even if Yanzhao has unfortunately been infected, I’ll find a way to cure him. As long as it’s a problem money can solve, it’s not a problem.”
Zhixi smiled and nodded: “Yes, without Brother Huo, we might not be together now.”
He Jingyao smiled faintly: “You’re right about that.”
Among his friends, He Jingyao’s relationship with Huo Yanzhao was undoubtedly the best, because compared to Huo Yanhui’s spontaneity and Yun Shenhan’s carefree nature, Huo Yanzhao carried the most responsibility and had the highest self-expectations. As a friend, he was definitely the most reassuring. So, even without considering the countless times Huo Yanzhao had helped him, just their over twenty years of friendship would make He Jingyao never allow Huo Yanzhao to let himself go.
Yet, Huo Yanzhao was never heard from again.
Despite all of He Jingyao’s efforts, utilizing all his connections and resources, he still couldn’t find any trace of him. It was as if Huo Yanzhao had vanished into thin air.
On the Huo Family side, Huo Yanhui was still putting up a façade of calm to the elders, holding up Siming Hospital all by himself.
Zhixi called Yun Xuefei several times, and on the phone, her voice was calm, but Zhixi still couldn’t feel assured.
She decided to go to Shanglin Bay in person.
