Chapter 823 - A Motley Crew (2/2)

Yang Heng carefully recalled Ye Jian’s expressions during the day. No matter how he recalled, he didn’t notice anything amiss with her expression.

She played darts happily, she laughed happily, and she even ignored Yao Jing’s provocation. She always managed to refute Yao Jing easily and caused Yao Jing to be on the losing end.

If she didn’t leave because she was unhappy. Then… she most probably left because of personal matters.

“She left? No one knows why she left?” When Mother Yang knew about this, she furrowed her brows slightly. “Old Yang, do you think that the child noticed Yao Jing was targeting her so she left because she felt unhappy?”

She paused for a moment and sighed. “I also said something wrong too. I don’t know if the child felt uncomfortable because of it.”

She told everyone her genuine mistake. Yang Heng immediately said, “Mom, don’t worry about this. She won’t take it to heart. If she hasn’t come back after the celebration ends, I’ll go and look for her.”

“She shouldn’t have gone too far. Maybe she really has some urgent matters to attend to. I think that the child knows her ground. Both of you don’t have to worry about her. Half an hour later, if she hasn’t come back, I’ll send people to check on her.” Commissioner Yang trusted Ye Jian. A young lady that was able to help the police solve a huge case must be someone with good critical thinking skills. Normally, a child like this wouldn’t place herself in a dangerous situation.

He rather believed that she really had urgent matters to attend to and didn’t leave because she was unhappy.

It was close to 10 pm. At this time, the city wasn’t as lively as it would be in ten years. There weren’t many cars or people on the road. If you walked on the streets, you would notice that the cars could travel at twice the speed as compared to day time.

Ye Jian walked naturally after she came out of the hotel. The people behind her followed her at a steady pace too.
