“Miss Mu, it’s really late now. Would you want to eat something while we wait for news of the person you’re trying to find?” Zhi Mei looked towards Miss Mu as she suggested in a gentle voice.
She scanned her gaze outside, trying to see if there were any places that sold Chinese food.
“We’re near the business district, which has a lot of eateries. They have all kinds of cuisine if you feel like eating…”
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by a sudden shout from Mu Xiaoxiao.
“Wait, stop the car! Stop!”
Mu Xiaoxiao stared out of the window with wide eyes as she hit the door forcefully with her little fists.
She saw a familiar figure pass by as the crowd flashed past.
Even though Zhi Mei was puzzled, she still obeyed and parked the car by the roadside.
“Miss Mu, why are we stopping here?”
Mu Xiaoxiao did not answer and opened the door hastily before rushing into the bustling crowd.
“Miss Mu!” Zhi Mei’s eyes flashed angrily. Afraid that she would lose her, she quickly rushed after Xiaoxiao.
Zhi Mei was nimble and agile and could even run fast with heels on.
“Yin Shaojie! Yin Shaojie!” Mu Xiaoxiao pushed the crowd apart as she shouted his name.
However, the crowd looked at her, puzzled, as they pointed at her and conversed in their native language.
“Yin Shaojie! Where are you? Where are you?”
Mu Xiaoxiao was sure that she had seen Yin Shaojie. Her little face was aggrieved and she was so anxious her eyes reddened.
Zhi Mei reached out to take her arm and pulled Xiaoxiao back while apologizing to the crowd in Language R.
“Miss Mu, please calm down. You must have mistaken someone else for him.” She stroked Mu Xiaoxiao’s arm gently as she tried to reassure her gently.
“No, I’m not mistaken! I really did see him!” Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head, unwilling to accept her explanation.
Zhi Mei sighed again. She could only go along with her. “Okay, okay, okay. Let’s assume that you really saw him. I’ll search for him with you, okay? Don’t run off on your own because I can’t bear the responsibility of losing you.”
She could not help but complain internally. Why did her superior assign her this task!
Mu Xiaoxiao took her hand instead and said anxiously, “Okay, you have to help me look! I really saw him. I swear I really saw him!”
Her exquisite little face was full of confidence and it made others unable to deny her words.
Zhi Mei’s heart softened immediately upon seeing her expression.
“Alright, I believe you. I’ll help you look for him.”
Zhi Mei led her to the side.
It was the entrance to a large mall and because it was almost closing time, there were lots of people coming out.
The two of them circled around but did not see Yin Shaojie.
Zhi Mei was someone who did things efficiently. She looked at Mu Xiaoxiao helplessly and was about to speak up and tell her to give up.
However, a tearful Mu Xiaoxiao cupped her mouth and shouted to the sky all of a sudden, “Yin Shaojie! Where are you! Jie, I’m looking for you! Do you know that!”
Do you know that I’m almost driven mad trying to find you…
“Yin! Shao! Jie!”
Meanwhile, in a car.
Yin Shaojie jolted violently. He frowned as his sharp gaze looked outside the car window as though he had heard the shout.
His heart trembled slightly.
“What’s the matter?” asked the person beside him upon noticing that he was acting strangely.
Yin Shaojie’s lowered his dark eyes.
Suddenly, his eyes flashed severely as he shouted towards the chauffeur, “Stop the car! Stop the car right now!”
