In a room on the second floor, Shi Yuting sat next to the bed. His expression had already returned to his usual calmness as he stared at Jing Xinlei, who was bed-ridden.
The family doctor was diagnosing her.
Shi Yuting’s phone suddenly rang, breaking the silence in the room. He frowned and took out his phone. It was from his younger sister, Shi Nuannuan.
He walked to the window and picked up the call.
“What’s up?”
“Brother, I can’t find Sister-in-law.” Shi Nuannuan’s voice was riddled with anxiety.
She was looking for her everywhere but to no avail. She only encountered a puddle of blood on the street. It was still wet and fresh, signifying that whatever had happened here was only a few minutes ago.
Shi Nuannuan began to feel anxious when she could not find Zuo Weiyi anywhere.
Upon hearing how she had addressed Zuo Weiyi, Shi Yuting’s voice deepened. “Who was the one who had allowed you to call her that?”
Shi Nuannuan paused for a moment and pouted. “Let me be! I like Weiyi as my sister-in-law more than that Jing Xinlei!”
Rage bubbled in Shi Nuannuan’s chest. “Brother! Have you forgotten how she had treated you in the past?! And you are going to forgive her just because she said she doesn’t know anything?”
“My life, my problems. Don’t you get involved.”
“Brother!”
“If there’s nothing else left I’m hanging up.” Shi Yuting was already ready to end the call.
Shi Nuannuan tensed up. “Wait!”
She almost forgot the reason she called.
“Brother, Sister-in-law Weiyi… Weiyi has gone missing. I have searched for her for a while now but I can’t find her but…” Shi Nuannuan glanced downward, looking the blood on the ground in the rain, her heart was beating with unease.
“But there is blood on the street…”
Upon hearing her sentence, Shi Yuting was shocked, a wave of unease struck his heart.
He quickly turned around and rushed out of the room anxiously.
“Yuting!” Seeing him leaving so suddenly, Zhao Qunfang was bewildered. She wanted to stop him, but he was already gone.
After everyone left the room, Jing Xinlei opened her eyes and sat up on the bed.

It was 9:40 in the evening when Shi Yuting sat in the living room on his sofa, his darkened expression was like the dark sky before a storm.
As a figure appeared in the room, both the Shi siblings glanced at it. Xiang Yi had returned.
“Did you find her?!” Shi Nuannuan questioned immediately.
Xiang Yi shook his head and looked at Shi Yuting. “We have searched everywhere around the Jing residence, there is no sign of Miss Zuo.”
Shi Yuting’s heart grew heavier.
Where did that woman go?
“Has the results of the blood test came out?” He asked with a frown.
“Not yet.”
As soon as he finished, the phone in Xiang Yi’s hand rang.
He picked it up and ended the call within a minute, his expression was rattled. “Mr. Shi, the result came out. The blood… It belongs to Miss Zuo.”
Shi Yuting was visibly affected by Xiang Yi’s report, his heart was consumed by dread.
“I don’t care if City Z is turned upside down. Find out where Zuo Weiyi is!”
His heart had never been filled with such anxiety.
Seeing her frantic brother, Shi Nuannuan was stunned as well.
When Jing Xinlei left him five years ago, she did not even see this side of him.
Had Zuo Weiyi become an existence that greatly affected her brother over time?
“Yes!” Xiang Yi nodded firmly and turned around to exit immediately.
