He stopped Lu Qi and said, “Master Lu, Miss Cheng was here when you were talking to the Eldest Young Master just now. She said that she was going on a long trip, so she’s definitely not at home now.”
Lu Qi frowned when he heard this.
“Going on a long trip? Did she say where she was going?”
“I asked, but she didn’t tell me.”
Lu Qi was stunned.
How could Cheng Ling suddenly go on a long trip and not tell him?
“Is Cheng Ling’s grandmother still at home?”
“Yes, only Miss Cheng went out alone.”
Hearing Lu Dong’s words, Lu Qi became even more flustered.
How could Cheng Ling abandon her grandmother and leave on her own? She must have been forced to do something. Lu Qi immediately ran to Cheng Ling’s house.
When Xie Ying opened the door, her eyes were still red. Although Lu Qi didn’t want to disturb her, he still asked carefully, “Grandma, where’s Cheng Ling?”
“Ling Ling has gone out.”
“Where did Cheng Ling go?”
Xie Ying shook her head and said she didn’t know.
She indeed didn’t know.
Lu Qi looked at Xie Ying’s weak appearance as if she was going to fall at any moment.
“Grandma, you should go back and rest first.”
Lu Qi returned to his home then only came to a realization. He immediately took out his phone and called Cheng Ling.
The phone was still connected, but no one answered the phone.
Then, he sent Cheng Ling a WeChat message.
However, Cheng Ling, who was deep in the mountains and forests, had no signal to see Lu Qi’s WeChat message.
The helicopter landed at around 10 o’clock at night. Mi Duo’s senior brothers were well-equipped, so they found a suitable place to set up a camp.
“There must be wild beasts roaming around this place at night, so it’s not suitable to move at night. Let’s rest here first. We’ll set off tomorrow morning at dawn.”
Cheng Ling nodded. She was not an expert in this area, so she could only follow the arrangements of others.
She took out her phone and found out there was no signal at all. This meant that the call could not come in, and she could not receive WeChat messages.
She held the phone tightly in her hand and closed her eyes.
Would Lu Qi be worried when he found out that she had left?
What information could she find in Carefree Valley this time? Could Lu Qi’s poison be relieved?
All kinds of questions flooded Cheng Ling’s mind in an instant. The darkness always made people’s thoughts run wild. Cheng Ling did not fall asleep for the whole night.
The following morning, they went to Carefree Valley on foot.
