Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

Jiaojiao scratched her head and was thinking hard.

Since Yan Su had just arrived in Macau the day before, few things could happen. “When I went to get my luggage at the airport, I saw her staring at a person’s back. And she didn’t look well. This… I don’t know… does it count?”

She said hesitantly.

“Have you ever seen Yan Su’s expression like this before?” Mo Liuxi asked.

“No,” Jiaojiao muttered, “I asked her if she met someone she knew. She said that she did see someone who looked familiar, but she didn’t talk much on the way to the hotel. She seemed to have a lot on her mind.”

“Do you know who she saw?” Mo Liuxi asked anxiously.

“A man and a woman, with a few bodyguards. I only saw their backs, but I felt the man was the woman’s lover.” Jiaojiao said. “Later, Susu went to rehearse and then went to the casino with Chen Qin. I didn’t go with Susu, but she seemed to have something on her mind after she came back.”

“All right, go and ask Chen Qin what happened at the casino. I’ll take the earliest flight,” Mo Liuxi said to her.

Jiaojiao was startled. “But… you’re getting married tomorrow…”

“How can I get married if something happens to the bride?” Mo Liuxi gnashed his teeth. He had a feeling that Yan Su was hiding something from him, and he must find it out.

…

Macau, on the sea.

Yan Su stood on the yacht and cast her eyes far away. There was a grand awards ceremony tonight, and there weren’t many people on the sea. After searching for a long time, she still couldn’t find Shi Xu and Jin Youlan’s yacht.

“Bro Chen, do we still need to drive further?” The young man driving the yacht asked. “Normally, we only go this far. If we drive too far away, we might be in danger.”

“Let’s drive a little further.” Chen Chen said and felt a headache. “If Shi Xu wants to commit a crime, he definitely won’t do it near the sea or at places with lots of people gathered around.”

“It’s a little strange.” Yan Su frowned. “It’s not like Shi Xu could control the destination where Jin Youlan is heading. Unless… Shi Xu arranged his man to Jin Youlan’s side. I remember Shi Xu told me that he had been preparing for it since half a year ago.”

Chen Chen was slightly taken aback. “What you said makes sense. There are few people around Jin Youlan who remain loyal to her. If you want to arrange people on the inside, you just need to spend some money.”

“The man who came to Macau with Jin Youlan yesterday was probably arranged by Shi Xu.” The more Yan Su thought about it, the more she felt that her speculation was close to the truth. “Those bodyguards are incapable to influence Jin Youlan.”

“I had no idea.” Chen Chen smiled bitterly. “But he’s missing, and Jin Youlan had an accident. It is just a matter of time that the police will come after him. Hurry up! Go faster. It’s been this long, and something might have happened.”

After about ten minutes, they saw a yacht floating on the sea.

When they drove closer, they saw no one inside.

“Bro Chen, this is the boat that Shi Xu drove. I went to the boat and took a look. The boat was intact, and there was no hint of fight or struggle.” The person who came with them reported.

“It seems like they have succeeded.” Chen Chen’s brow furrowed. “We don’t know where they are. The sea is so vast and endless.”

“I touched the engine. It’s still warm,” their entourage said. “He should not be far.”

The young man who drove the yacht said, “Let’s go to the right. The wind is weaker on the right side, and usually that is the choice people will make. It’s not safe to go against the wind unless the people on that boat want to risk their lives.”

Chen Chen nodded. Even if Shi Xu wanted to die, the yacht’s driver wouldn’t be as mad as him.
