1236 I Want to Make You Stay 114 (1/2)
”We met inside the tomb. He said he entered because he was curious. Luckily, he was here to show the way, which was why we were able to come out from it.”
”Oh, I see.”
Wearing a short-sleeved shirt, An Xiaoning took an umbrella and got down from the car as well. She had spotted the Mercedes-Benz parked at the same old spot, so that must mean that Henry was waiting for her in the car, right?
Dragging her tired body, she walked briskly to the car.
When she tried to pull open the car door, however, it was unexpectedly locked.
An Xiaoning knocked on the car window. ”Unlock the door.”
There was still no sign of movement.
She shone her torch on the front glass of the car and realized that there was actually no one inside.
Where had he gone?
The car was parked here, so there was no way he could have gone back. After all, the car keys were with him.
He could possibly have left a car for her without leaving the car keys.
An Xiaoning made a call to Wei Ni Estate and found out that he wasn't at home either, so she immediately got Fan Shixin to check his GPS location.
Unexpectedly, he was unable to track his location.
It was impossible given that Henry knew that he had the tracker on him. He had worn it all along and could not have possibly removed it now, unless…
An Xiaoning's gaze landed at the entrance of the tomb.
Could it be that he had gone in without waiting for her to come out?
She had come out completely fatigued and with her legs almost dying. What if he wasn't able to?
An Xiaoning's heart wrenched tightly.
”Chief Pan, here, your phone.” With an umbrella in hand, she turned around and was about to run through the entrance of the tomb when, upon the sight of this, Bureau Chief Pan called out to her, ”Xiaoning, where are you going?”
”Qingyan may have gone into the tomb to find me.”
”What?!”
Upon hearing this, Pan Zhenghui immediately made everyone get off the car. ”You rest in here, we'll go and find him.”
To utter these words, Pan Zhenghui used up all the courage he possessed in his whole life.
No matter how unwilling to enter he was, he could not be so forthright about it like Wang Jinsheng.
”Let's go in together.” An Xiaoning was aware of her own limitations. Her legs were almost breaking, and she probably would not be able to return if she went in by herself. It would be better if she had company. If they were to meet with danger, she would go to the extent of using her own life to protect them.
”You're going in again?” the man holding onto the umbrella asked upon hearing her words as he approached her.
”Yes. My man is most probably inside. He surely must have gone in to find me because he didn't see me coming out.”
”We've spent so much effort to get out of there and you're hastily going back in again. It's too dangerous.”
”No matter how dangerous it is, I have to go in.” An Xiaoning turned around and was about to enter the tomb straight away.
At this moment, a figure emerged from the tomb.
”He's out!”
An Xiaoning stared straight at the figure approaching, her happiness indescribable. She just pounced into his arms without saying a word.
Upon seeing her, Henry's anxious heart was finally able to rest at ease, and his eyebrows, which were originally creased into a frown, instantly relaxed.
His hands, which were by his sides, immediately wrapped around her.
But within a few seconds, he relaxed his arms.
An Xiaoning could not help but grab onto his hand. Henry did not shake her hand off either, perhaps because there were quite a lot of people surrounding them and he did not want to embarrass her.
”Chief Pan, please help me to send him home.” An Xiaoning pointed to the man who remained silent throughout.
