Huangfu Jue had come back disappointed once again, watching the plane turn into a tiny black dot in the sky before he slammed his fist hard against the glass.
"Sir, we’ve found out!" A bodyguard hurried back, "The miss took a flight heading to the capital of A Country."
"What?" Huangfu Jue turned around in disbelief, "She went back?"
"That’s what the flight information shows," the bodyguard answered.
Giving the sky one last glance, he quickly turned around.
"Contact airport control immediately, we’re going back!"
His entourage scrambled to follow him as Will immediately made a call to the airport control room. After some negotiation, Will eventually divulged Huangfu Jue’s identity. Considering his status, the airport quickly arranged a takeoff time for him.
In less than half an hour, Huangfu Jue’s private jet once again left the airport, heading back.
Sitting in the spacious and comfortable seat, Huangfu Jue began to strategize meticulously.
"Get someone to the airport right away, don’t alarm her, just find out where she is going," he paused and then added, "Tell them to be extra careful not to let her notice them."
Will arranged it using the phone on the plane while he rested his chin on one hand, deep in thought.
Why was she returning to A Country?
A Country and F Country were neighbors, not very far apart. Three hours later, Huangfu Jue had successfully returned to his homeland.
As soon as he got off the plane, he received a message from his men—half an hour earlier, Gan Yuan had indeed arrived on that flight.
He nodded slightly and calmly waited for the rest of the report.
But Will’s tone became hesitant, "They... they lost her!"
The man turned his head to the side.
Will looked down, "The miss... she’s too vigilant, as you know, she... she’s not an ordinary person."
Huangfu Jue suppressed his anger, "Check all the hotels immediately, I want to know where she’s staying!"
"They’re already on it, but... so far, there’s been no progress," Will said as he followed him to the car, swallowing nervously, "In my opinion, it’s very likely that they’re using aliases, or, perhaps, we could put out an alert for Jessica; I think I saw her with the miss."
"No!" Huangfu Jue sat in the backseat of the car, "Don’t make a move for now, keep looking."
If she had come here, she certainly had her reasons; if he pushed her too hard, he might just drive her away.
Moreover, the media had noses just as keen, and should any word get out that she had returned, they’d latch onto her incessantly.
For now, in public, he still couldn’t afford to appear too close to her.
Will got into the passenger seat, "So, what do we do now...?"
Huangfu Jue thought for a moment and then uttered a few words.
"Back to the Royal Palace."
He hadn’t gone to the Royal Palace since his return, not only because he had been incredibly busy but also because he was somewhat unsure of how to face Gan Tang.
If the little guy asked about his mom, he truly didn’t know what to say.
The car entered the city and made its way into the Royal Palace. Huangfu Jue frowned as he walked upstairs. As he reached the third floor, Gan Tang had just finished his piano lesson and came out, immediately running over to him with joy.
"Daddy!" Bending down to pick up the little one, Huangfu Jue immediately cradled his arm, "Does it still hurt?"
"It stopped hurting a long time ago," Gan Tang lifted his arm around his neck, looking behind him, "Where’s mommy? Didn’t she... come back with you?"
