65 News (2/2)
Before Han Jie started to look for Han Jun all over the place, Jonah already dragged her to the elevators.
Han Jie suddenly grinned at the closed doors, ”He is sneaking out, isn't he?” Han Jie cheerfully concluded as she watched the floors go by.

Han Jie removed her sunglassed and put it in her purse. She hoped her father hadn't noticed her absence as she tried to sneak back into the suite.
Jonah was behind him, waiting for her to open the door so he could get into his room as well as soon as possible.
If he was not sleeping yet, he should not be so mad right since Han Jun already explained the situation.
Han Jie opened the door quietly and stepped in just as quiet.
It was too late. Han Feng was seated in the living room, reading another newspaper.
'What is he doing here?' Han Jie thought. He was dressed in his usual attire, without the jacket and tie. His sleeves were rolled up. Han Feng for the first time since his wife's death looked so exhausted.
'Did something else happen that JunJun did not tell me?' She thought to herself in confusion. Han Jie looked at Jonah for help as he closed the door quietly behind them.
”Welcome back. Where did you all go?” Han Feng asked, resigned and tired. Han Jun just mentioned them going out
”Just out.” Han Jie said softly hopping her father would let the conversation drop.
”Where's out?” Han Feng asked still reading his paper.
”Well, out is outside the hotel suite daddy.” Han Jie said, plopping down on the settee opposite her father. ”You look tired. Why not rest first? Then interrogate me tomorrow?” She suggested trying to sound cute.
Jonah stood pensively behind her, staring straight ahead.
”I am fine. Do you think I am interrogating? I just wanted to know what my daughter was doing.” Han Feng said, finally dropping the newspaper he had been reading. Or just staring at.
”Daddy, what's wrong?” Han Jie finally asked. For her, his father was acting strange. It was seldom he looked like this. Though she occasionally pisses him off, Han Feng looked more angry than tired. Right now, he was like giving up on something.
But what?
”Your sister, there was news of her.” Han Feng said softly.
”Really? Where is she?” Han Jie immediately asked, delighted. However, she immediately realized that her father was not as happy as her. ”Did something happen? Daddy tell me. What is going with MaeMae?”
Han Feng released a deep sigh, ”I don't know.”
”Why you don't know? Daddy, tell me everything!” She demanded. Han Feng was like delaying the news, and Han Jie was ready to shake more details out of him.
”There were traces of her on City S. The people looking for her were still gathering more information. We don't know her exact whereabouts yet.” He said finally. He had been worried sick, almost frantic when he had learned the news about her eldest daughter an hour ago.
He had asked Han Jun to go look for her in City S personally before Suzuki Kyou noticed that something was amiss.
Yes, Han Feng was not able to confess the truth to Suzuki Kyou earlier. In fact, he was not given a chance to do so. For her, the man was way younger than him, but Han Feng was easily pressured by him, before he even opens his mouth.
If Suzuki Kyou learned that Han Mae runs away because of the marriage with him, what will he do?
After all, the man was the one who insisted on the marriage agreement, regardless of the Suzuki family's opinion…
