423 Playing Hooky (1/2)

Han Chu could not understand why would Ye Shuang fall into silence out of nowhere.

Even when he initiated the conversation, she would just glare at him, looking irritated. There was a clear disdain in her eyes, saying, I don't want to talk to you right now.

It was a perfect suggestion. He could not understand why would Ye Shuang have such a reaction.

…

Ye Shuang had memorized everything in the chip completely and manually transferred it into Han Chu's database.

Therefore, the last day of Anthony's work was nothing but destroying the original copy. Naturally, he told Madam Grace that he was there to unlock the duplication prohibition.

Ye Shuang chose to stay home since she was not needed at the job. However, Anthony called Ye Shuang, feeling wronged after she had just spent her morning doing nothing.

”They detained you?” Ye Shuang was cooking sweet and sour pork ribs. She tilted her head to hold her phone between her ear and shoulder. She did not slow down at all; she even had the mood to tease him. ”And you're still calling me to tell me. The treatment isn't too shabby.”

Anthony complained and whined before explaining the situation. ”They want me to recover the chip. How is that possible? The chip is completely burnt now.”

Ye Shuang heard a loud banging noise on the other side of the phone. She could totally imagine Anthony hitting the chip with his tool while looking upset. ”So, when are you coming back? Will they only release you after you've recovered the chip?”

”I've no idea. No matter what, Madam Grace has no intention of letting me go.” Anthony sighed. ”Han has turned off his phone; I can't reach him. Can you call him for me? Get him to come here and talk to them.”

Naturally, there was no problem at all.

After hanging up the call, Ye Shuang had lunch with her family and headed to the hotel that the Han parents were currently staying.

Even though the son's phone was turned off, at least the parents would know how to get him.

Ye Shuang's plan was great. Unfortunately, it was crushed when she met the parents.

Mother Han seemed surprised. ”Xiao Chu is missing? If you can't find him, how would we know where he is‽”

She then looked like she had gotten used to that and waved casually. ”That guy always go missing anyway. He'll show himself some time soon.”

I do not have the time, aunty. There's a brother whose life is on the line. Feeling helpless, Ye Shuang bade farewell to the Han parents and contacted other people.

”Mr. Han didn't come to me,” Xiao San said. ”We're busy house hunting; we don't have the time to deal with the rest and to talk to him.”

”He's missing? God damn it, what kind of trick is he playing?” Yao Zhixing grumbled.

”Maybe… he needs alone time?” Han Su suggested.

Ye Shuang called everyone who knew Han Chu, whether they were familiar with each other or not, following the contact book. However, Han Chu's whereabouts aside, these people had not even spoken to Han Chu on the phone recently.
