The assistant hung up the phone, his face troubled as he walked over to Moses’s side, wanting to speak but hesitating.
Moses looked up from the document he was holding.
"Yes!" The assistant pondered for a moment, "I’ve just received news from the estate; Miss... she’s gone."
Moses frowned and looked up from the document, "Gone?"
"Yes." The assistant bowed slightly, his tone cautious, "It’s said that last night she went camping with Huangfu Jue, and she hasn’t come back this morning. Moreover... she took Gan Tang with her."
The assistant tried to put it delicately, but Moses understood all too well.
She had clearly promised to return with him today, yet Gan Yuan had left last night. It seemed she had never intended to leave with him at all.
The so-called promise was nothing more than a tactic to pacify him.
Moses’s hand by his side clenched into a fist, his voice cold and squeezing through his teeth.
"This... we are not sure yet." The assistant paused briefly, cautiously observing his mood before quickly adding, "Reliable sources say that early this morning, Huangfu Jue and his younger brother left in a hurry. It seems they are also looking for Gan... Miss Gaia."
Moses took a deep breath and strode towards the exit, "Find out where Huangfu Jue has gone."
"Yes, sir." The assistant hurried after him, taking out his phone to make a call, "Find out Huangfu Jue’s whereabouts immediately. Notify me the moment you have any information."
The helicopter did not approach the port resort directly but stopped at the roadside two blocks away from the resort.
On the phone just now, Gan Tang had mentioned that Gan Yuan was still sleeping; he didn’t want to wake her, fearing that the temperamental woman would take off again.
Not seeing any taxis on the road, Huangfu Jue sprinted across the street, rushing towards the port resort.
Will jumped out of the helicopter with an umbrella. Seeing this scene, he didn’t bother to open the umbrella and immediately chased after Huangfu Jue with it in hand.
Huangfu Qi stood in front of the helicopter door, watching through the dense rain mist as Huangfu Jue dashed into the alley across the street, and shook his head slightly.
Taking the umbrella the accompanying assistant handed him, he lazily stepped off the plane, slung the umbrella over his shoulder, and walked through the rain towards the opposite side of the street.
"Let them chase. We’ll just take our time walking over," he said.
The two blocks were quickly left behind by Huangfu Jue. Keeping his sights on the six-story port resort ahead, he raised his hand to wipe the rain from his face, and strode up the steps.
The receptionist behind the front desk politely stood up to greet him, but upon seeing the man’s face and recognizing who he was, her gray-blue eyes suddenly widened in shock, "You... You..."
"Where is Gan Yuan?" Huangfu Jue asked.
Will, running up, explained to her, "The Asian girl who checked in here in the early morning, she was with a boy."
"Oh..." The receptionist finally came back to her senses, "She’s not here."
Huangfu Jue, who had already made his way to the staircase, turned around at her words, reaching over the bar to grab the receptionist’s arm, "She’s gone?!"
The receptionist nodded.
The man immediately burst out in anger, "Who let you let her go?"
Having finally caught up to her, to find that Gan Yuan had left again, his disappointment and anger were naturally beyond words.
