Chapter 119

Darkness greeted Li Yundong the moment he stepped into the apart the door behind hi for an answerThere was none, only the echoes of his own voice

He moved away from the door and stopped beside the couchThe TV was turned off and the reone to bed already? Li Yundong frowned and padded into the kitchenThat made no sense; it wasn’t her bedtime yetIt was only 9 PM when President Yin dropped hi of takeout boxes on the dining table, then walked over to the fridgeMost of the food in the fridge was gone, which meant that Su Chan most likely had her dinner alreadyHe placed the two cups of ice-creae

A slow s’s face“Su Chan… You can co to scare reider when he remembered the last ti at their old apart in the kitchen but got startled by hiaht supper!” he yelled, fully expecting to hear the pitter-patter of Su Chan’s footsteps as soon as those words left his mouthFood alorked on Su ChanAlways

Not this time, apparently

Seconds turned into ns of his princessA sinking sensation formed at the pit of his stomachWhere the hell is she? He left the kitchen and headed for her rooet an answer, he tried the door knob and found that the door was unlockedSu Chan’s scent assaulted his nostril the moment he pushed the door openHe walked in and came to a halt when his eyes landed on the erew

“Co yanked open her wardrobe, half-expecting to see Su Chan pouncing on hi hiirl with childlike innocence, he was greeted by the sight of dresses and blouses—an entire row of theers

If this was her idea of scaring hi

He slalanced around franticallyHe hurried towards the corner of the bedrooht fro the evidence of Su Chan’s absence: the neatly- on the clothes rack

He unlocked the sliding door, then poked his outNo signs of Su Chan on the balcony either“Fck… Where is she?” he ainst itMaybe she’s in the bathroo out of the bedroomMoments later, he stood outside the bathroom with his heart in his throatShe’d checked both bathrooms and came up empty

<hr>

What if she left the apartrabbed his phone from the kitchen counterWith shaky hands, he switched on his phoneThe phone pinged with dozens of nored the notifications and dialed Su Chan’s nutone drifted into the kitchenHe exited the kitchen, following the sound of the ringtone

A soft glow lit up a corner of the living room near the curtainsNo… No… Fck… No… He bent down and picked up Su Chan’s phone from the floorThe back cover was a little loose, and there was a chip on the phone’s edge

Solanced around like a le or forced entryBut the living roo seemed out of placeSo ould she drop her phone here? And where the hell is she?

Li Yundong got to his feet and started pacing the living rooht man… Calm down and think… Suppose that Su Chan was indeed attackedAnd right now, he couldn’t find her anywhere inside the aparter inside the aparted to escape from the apartment, or someone had kidnapped herHe prayed that it was the for room towards the front doorHis throat constricted the moment he checked the shoe rack

Su Chan’s shoe was still there, which meant she hadn’t escapedShe’d been takenSomeone came into the apartment and took herThe intruder ns of a struggleThat must also be why Su Chan dropped her phoneA swish sounded above hih alertHe’d heard that noise before, like so or a piece of cloth

“Who’s there?!”

Who indeed? Lin Youfa? Those Zhengyi wackos?

Another swishThis ti eyed the door of the apartet out of the apartmentAnd then what? Go to the police and report Su Chan ht ain, another swishThe bathrooed towards the bathroom—the one beside Su Chan’s roo the door from the outside

Got you now, you son of a bitch…

“Where is she?” Li Yundong yelled from outside the bathroom“Where the hell did you take her? I know you—”

Wait abacked away fro roo Su Chan, ould they still be here lurking around in the apartThe intruder is still hereWhichinside the apart and walked to a spot in the living rooht at the center of the entire apart returned to his ears, Li Yundong began to sort through the ahborhood weredoors were closedIf he heard anything at all, it would most like co… the fridge’s hu… That Godda… Come on…

Then he heard itA whimperHe focused harder and isolated that noise froed into his bedroom and yanked open the door of his wardrobeSu Chan’s liure fell out and collapsed into his armsHer face was pale and her forehead was covered in sweatShe was barely breathing
