The call did not go through?

The call did not go through?

Huo Xunzhou raised his wrist and looked at the time.

It was almost 6:00 p.m.

Where could Lin Shanchu be at this time?

When he was chatting with her on WeChat in the morning, he specifically asked her if she had any plans today. At that time, she said that she did not have any plans today.

After the call hung up automatically, Huo Xunzhou called again.

The same mechanical female voice was heard from the phone.

“Sorry, the number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable…”

“Big Brother, what’s wrong?” Li MO asked when he noticed something was wrong with Huo Xunzhou’s expression.

“I tried phoning Shanshan, I couldn’t get through.”

“I’m going home,” Huo Xunzhou stood up and walked out.

Li MO quickly grabbed the car keys and Huo Xunzhou’s jacket before following him.

“Big brother, wait for me!”

Huo Xunzhou was anxious. When he reached the parking lot, he snatched the car keys from Li MO and got into the car.

Li MO reacted quickly and got into the passenger seat.

Before he could buckle the seatbelt, Huo Xunzhou stepped on the accelerator and drove off.

Li MO did not dare to say a word. He silently buckled the seatbelt and held the roof handle above his head to stabilize his body.

Huo Xunzhou sped all the way home.

The car came to a sudden stop. Li MO felt that if the car door had not blocked him, he would have been thrown out.

By the time he steadied himself, Huo Xunzhou already opened the door and got out of the car, running towards the villa.

Li MO quickly followed him.

The door inside was closed, but not locked.

Huo Xunzhou pushed open the door and quickly looked around.

“Shanshan! ”

There was no one in the living room.

Huo Xunzhou strode upstairs.

Li MO stayed downstairs and searched carefully. He went upstairs to search for Lin Shanchu when he confirmed there was no one else downstairs.

Huo Xunzhou pushed open the door to the bedroom.

It was pitch-black in the room at dusk.

Huo Xunzhou turned on the lights and the room instantly lit up.

As the wind blew in through the half-open window, the curtains swayed in the wind.

Huo Xunzhou checked the bathroom and walk-in closet, but Lin Shanchu was nowhere to be found.

The makeup on the dressing table showed traces of usage.

There was a box of eyeshadow on the dressing table that she forgot to put away.

Lin Shanchu was becoming more and more like a female celebrity. Basically, she would put on makeup whenever she went out.

When he called her in the afternoon, she said she was going out for lunch.

Her tone sounded normal at that time, and there was nothing unusual about it.

However, when he asked her if she was going out for lunch with Number 1357, she did not answer him directly.

Whom did she have lunch with?

When Huo Xunzhou came out of the bedroom, Li MO ran over, panting.

“Big Brother, I’ve searched everywhere else, but I haven’t seen Sister-in-law and her uncle.”

Huo Xunzhou’s expression froze.

Number 1357 liked to follow Lin Shanchu closely. If they were together at this moment, it would be good.

“Could it be that Sister-in-law went out to have dinner with her uncle?” Li MO guessed.

Huo Xunzhou did not say a word. Instead, he took out his phone and continued to call Lin Shanchu.

The response on the other end of the phone was the same as before and the call did not go through.

Li Mo’s guess might be reasonable, but if he could not see Lin Shanchu in person, he would be on tenterhooks.

Huo Xunzhou clenched his phone and fell silent for a moment. Suddenly, he asked, “Is there any movement from Lu Shiyuan?”

Li MO shook his head.

“Ever since Tang Qidai passed away, Lu Shiyuan could neither get any money nor afford food. I just called and asked the brothers who were keeping an eye on Lu Shiyuan. They said that he went to steal something just now and is being chased and beaten up.”

Who else could it be but Lu Shiyuan?

If Lin Shanchu did not go to lunch with Number 1357 and was not taken away by Lu Shiyuan, what would the real situation be like?

Huo Xunzhou frowned and pursed his lips, trying to calm himself down and think about the problem.

Lin Shanchu calmly went out with makeup and dined with someone. This meant that the person she was dining with was probably someone she knew and had a normal relationship with.

If it was really someone she knew, then the scope could be narrowed down further.

She did not know many people in Capital City.

Huo Xunzhou strode downstairs while picking up his phone to make a call.

vvCLC people he and Lin Shanchu interacted with.

Huo Xunzhou paused for a moment when he scrolled to Huo Chaosheng’s name with his finger.

The next second, he dialed Huo Chaosheng’s number. The phone rang for a while before it was answered.

“Third Brother?”

Huo Chaosheng’s surroundings were quiet and empty, and a faint echo was heard when he spoke.

“Where are you?” Huo Xunzhou asked.

“Didn’t I tell you a few days ago? I flew out of the country this morning. Have you forgotten?”

Huo Chaosheng had told him about this matter.

At that time, Huo Chaosheng said that he wanted to have a meal with Huo Xunzhou before going abroad. However, Huo Xunzhou refused him because he had his hands full.

“I knew you forgot.” Huo Chaosheng sighed, sounding a little disappointed. “Let’s not talk about it anymore. I’m very sleepy after the plane has just landed.

I need to rest.”

Huo Chaosheng hung up the phone after finished speaking.

Huo Xunzhou held his phone and pondered for a moment. Then, he turned around and instructed Li Mo. “Go and check if Chaosheng has really gone abroad.”

When Li MO came back, Huo Xunzhou already called everyone whom Lin Shanchu knew.

Only Yun Wu had not received his call.

When he called Yun Wu, her assistant answered the phone and said that she had been working.

“Big Brother, Huo Chaosheng has really gone overseas. He booked his flight a long time ago. He was supposed to leave tomorrow, but he changed his flight date yesterday and left early in the morning.”

Li MO showed Huo Xunzhou the boarding records.

Huo Xunzhou called Lin Shanchu again.

The call still could not go through.

Li MO saw Huo Xunzhou’s gloomy face and did not dare to ask him what he was thinking. He quietly picked up his phone and dialed a number.

“Her uncle isn’t picking up the phone…”

“Lin Suguang!” Huo Xunzhou abruptly raised his head.

“I called her uncle a few times, but he didn’t pick up the phone.” Li MO nodded.

How could he have forgotten about Number 1357?

Huo Xunzhou quickly called Number 1357.

“As expected, no one picked up…” he muttered.

Lin Shanchu’s phone number was unavailable, whereas no one picked up Number 1357’s phone.

Therefore, the two of them were not together at all.

Lin Shanchu went out alone at noon.

Huo Xunzhou recalled their conversation at noon.

Only then did he realize that when he asked her if she was going to have lunch with Number 1357… she seemed to have changed the topic!

However, did she have to hide whom she was going to have lunch with?

Besides, she could not possibly make him unable to contact her for no reason.

She was so smart, so it was impossible for her to be taken away quietly.

Everything returned to the beginning. She did not disappear for no reason. She must have taken the initiative to meet someone she knew and then disappeared.

Among the people who knew Lin Shanchu, there was only one person with the greatest mouve.

Huo Xunzhou suddenly turned around and ran upstairs again..
