Chapter 205 - Two apples a day... (1/2)

The next morning, Cixi left earlier than usual without giving Sara any opportunity to speak with her and ask questions. They had been too many interruptions and Sara didn't want to raise the topic of Song Changyu when anyone else was around.

She just wanted to casually raise the issue without giving her aunt any hint that she was snooping.

”In case you see the card, let me know. Make sure no one else knows about this” Sara whispered to Joreen who very much agreed.

”I'll leave for work now. And... I'll take these” Sara took some apples from the table and placed it inside a little fancy nylon bag.

”You're leaving very early today. Is something wrong?” Jianjun asked before handing her a lunch box. It was weird that Sara suddenly asked for a takeout.

”I take my job seriously” Sara grinned.

She didn't want to waste much time chatting with them. She needed to see Muchen before he traveled. They would keep in touch yea, but she wouldn't be seeing him for days and that was something really troublesome for her.

”Come back on time. We need to go somewhere together” Jianjun said to her retreating figure.

”I will.” She hurried back to kiss her father on his cheek and spoke impatiently while heading out ”Let Uncle Chu and Bilike know I had to leave early. Have a wonderful day”  She said before disappearing out of their sight.

”Something is up with her right?” Joreen asked suspiciously.

”Probably” Jianjun answered nonchalantly with an amused smile on his face.

He was glad that his daughter was happy. He had always been worried about her and her future. But it seemed there was no need for that anymore. Her future was well secured whether Muchen's family liked it or not.

Dexi's personal assistant was shocked to see him looking like that when he entered inside his apartment to help him prepare for work. It was as if he didn't get any sleep at all.

He was still dressed in the previous day's clothes with his tie crooked and button half undone. He also had obvious dark circles under his eyes.

”CEO Mo...are you okay?” He asked cautiously— fearing that Dexi might blow up at him.

Dexi ignored him. He had a lot on his mind and it was really driving him crazy. His chat with Weiyoung last night and helped in messing up his mind.

He tried to put things together but he didn't like the conclusion he was arriving at.

According to Weiyoung, she ran to get help but got into an accident. She also said she had no idea whatever happened to Sara and only heard later that Sara reported sick when she was absent from school for over a week.

So, he tried to draw a possible conclusion from the premises: A crazy man held down an helpless and vulnerable little girl in a secluded alley at night and had even hit her. After that time, she didn't go to school for over a week and reported sick. Afterwards, she became really depressed,travelled with Weiyoung and disappeared for over a year.
