Hearing Fang Jin's words, Lin Wan'er lightly nodded her head and said, ”Since things have come to this, this is the only way.”

”Alright, it's getting late. You should get some rest as well.” Fang Jin reached out and patted Lin Wan'er on the shoulder.

Lin Wan'er did not reject Fang Jin's good intentions. She lightly nodded her head and without saying anything else, she turned around and walked back to her house.

Fang Jin watched as Lin Wan'er left. When Lin Wan'er's figure had completely disappeared, Fang Jin couldn't help but frown.

Although he consoled Lin Wan'er with his words, Fang Jin understood that Lin Minghua's disappearance was not that simple.

Otherwise, they would have already been back at the Lin Family mansion for several days, but tonight, that mysterious man appeared, and today, Lin Minghua had suddenly gone missing. Everything that happened revealed a sense of unusualness.

However, even though he knew that this matter was not that simple, Fang Jin did not have any thoughts. Right now, all he could do was wait and see if Lin Minghua would return tomorrow morning.

Taking in a light breath, Fang Jin returned to her room in large strides. Lying on her bed, she fell into a deep sleep.

The night passed by quickly. Early the next morning, Fang Jin got up from her bed, washed her face and rinsed her mouth. Then, she came to the courtyard of the Lin Clan.

Lin Wan'er had woken up long ago. She was sitting on a bench in the yard, waiting.

The two of them did not have any conversation, so they just quietly waited, hoping that Lin Minghua would come back.

But as the saying goes, 'good is bad, good is bad, good is bad'. An entire morning quickly passed, but Lin Minghua was nowhere to be seen.

As time passed, Lin Wan'er's expression became more and more nervous. Even Fang Jin's eyebrows were deeply furrowed.

Breathing in lightly, Fang Jin stood up from the bench. He turned his head to look at Lin Wan'er, who was still seated, and softly said, ”Lin Wan'er, we don't have to wait any longer. It's probably as you said. Let's go out and look for it now. ”

”Right.” Lin Wan'er naturally wouldn't refuse. She was very worried for her father's safety.

Fang Jin pondered for a few seconds, then turned to Lin Wan'er and said, ”That's right, Wan'er, do you know where Uncle Lin went to gather at the market yesterday?”

Lin Wan'er thought about it for a few seconds, then replied, ”It's to Xiangyang Village, ten kilometers away. There was a market yesterday.”

”Xiangyang Village?” Hearing this, Fang Jin thoughtfully nodded her head and softly said, ”Since that's the case, you should immediately pack up. I'll go look for Huang Biao.”

Having said so, Fang Jin no longer cared about Lin Wan'er's thoughts. Without any hesitation, she immediately walked out of the Lin Family courtyard, heading towards the neighboring house.

The one that lived next door was none other than Huang Biao. This could be considered Huang Biao's father's ancestral land. Although Huang Biao later left this place, the houses in the village were never sold.

Fang Jin strode to the door and knocked on it.

Moments later, Huang Biao's voice came from the courtyard, ”Coming, who is it?”

As Huang Biao spoke, he opened the door and immediately saw a solemn expression on Fang Jin's face.

The moment he saw Fang Jin, Huang Biao let out a weird cry. Without thinking, he retreated a few steps back and said nervously, ”Fang Jin, you promised me earlier that you would let me go.”

Evidently, Huang Biao was treating Fang Jin as someone who was about to be destroyed.

Seeing Huang Biao's expression, Fang Jin frowned and scolded, ”What nonsense are you spouting? Since I've decided to let you go, I naturally won't go back on my word. Let's go now, I have something that I need your help with.”

”Alright, no problem.” Seeing that Fang Jin did not intend to eliminate him, Huang Biao naturally felt relieved. He didn't dare to refuse and hurriedly nodded his head, following behind Fang Jin and walking forward.

Fang Jin brought Huang Biao back to the Lin Clan. By this time, Lin Wan'er had already packed up her things. When Lin Wan'er saw Fang Jin and Fang Biao enter, she couldn't help but nod her head and say, ”Alright, Fang Jin, I'm already prepared. We can set off now.”

”Alright, then let's leave immediately.” Fang Jin softly said as she turned her head to look at Huang Biao, who was following behind her. Then, she gently patted him and said, ”Go and drive your car over here.”

”Alright.” Huang Biao hurriedly nodded his head. Even though he was extremely unwilling, Huang Biao really did not dare to say anything in front of Fang Jin.

Huang Biao turned around and quickly left. After a short while, Huang Biao drove the car back to the Lin Clan's house.
