Chapter 642: Chapter 644: Busted
Unconsciously, the evening had arrived, and Lin Fei had not expected that time would fly so quickly in Yun Chuyao’s company. In the blink of an eye, it was time to part.
Yun Chuyao wanted to keep Lin Fei for dinner, but upon hearing that he had another engagement, she dropped the idea and, together with her sister, saw him off.
Before leaving, Lin Fei told Yun Chuyao that he would come over at eight o’clock the next morning to escort Yaoyao to Jiangdong University together.
After leaving the Lijing Midtown, Lin Fei returned to the company.
The three-team duty room was bustling, with Li Yang and others already gathered, waiting for Lin Fei.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Lin Fei led them out of the company, hailed three cabs, and went to a high-end restaurant in the city center.
Once everyone was seated and had ordered their meals, Lin Fei opened a bottle of white liquor and poured a small half glass for each person present.
He stood up, and everyone else promptly followed suit.
“This drink is to honor everyone. Thank you for advancing and retreating with me over the past six months.”
With that said, Lin Fei drained the contents of his glass in one gulp.
The rest of the group also finished their drinks.
The dishes were served one after another, a table laden with sumptuous food, yet Lin Fei could sense everyone’s lackluster spirits; after all, it was a farewell dinner, and a sad atmosphere permeated the table.
“Come on, everyone, cheer up. Don’t look so gloomy, let’s eat and drink happily.”
Lin Fei encouraged the group.
Li Yang chimed in, “That’s right, it’s a rare treat from Brother Luo, everyone should enjoy themselves.”
With the positive encouragement from the two, the group finally livened up, no longer shrouded in the sadness of parting.
After dinner, the members of the three-team said their goodbyes to Lin Fei one by one.
When it was Li Yang’s turn, he could not hold back his tears, and Lin Fei, knowing they had the closest friendship, comforted him by patting him on the back.
After seeing everyone off, Lin Fei was about to make his way home when he suddenly received a call from Lin Feng, “Brother Lin Fei, I think it’s better to tell you about something.”
Lin Fei had an ominous premonition.
“The tracker indicates that Mu Shanshan has left her usual range of activities and has gone beyond twenty kilometers.”
“There’s a feature on the tracker that sends a message to the app if Mu Shanshan goes beyond ten kilometers from her usual range. I just received a message. Your phone also has this app, but I forgot to tell you about it. I was afraid you wouldn’t notice, so I thought I’d call you.”
After hanging up, Lin Fei opened the tracking software and indeed saw a notification from the app.
Lin Fei carefully examined the red dot on the map, which represented Mu Shanshan’s location, and found she was currently on a beach.
What is Mu Shanshan doing on the beach so late?
Lin Fei knew that Mu Shanshan had a very regular lifestyle and, if nothing else was happening, she would mostly be at home or the office, moving between just these two points. It was rare for her to venture so far this late.
Out of curiosity and caution, Lin Fei called Mu Shanshan.
“Lin Fei, what’s up?”
“Nothing much, are you home?”
“I’m out right now; I won’t be home for a while.”
“No, I’m with Fang Shaoyu. We’re discussing some matters.”
Seeing that Mu Shanshan was not hiding anything, Lin Fei was actually quite at ease, yet he couldn’t help but feel a jolt upon hearing the name Fang Shaoyu.
“I don’t have much to do right now. Where are you? I’ll come find you.”
“You want to come?” Mu Shanshan hesitated briefly on the other end of the phone and then responded, “Alright, I’ll send you the location.”
After hanging up, Lin Fei received the location from Mu Shanshan, which matched exactly with what the tracker had shown.
Lin Fei hailed a taxi and first went back to his villa in Rongjing Garden. After changing into his Ferrari, he drove towards the beach indicated by the tracker.
