I Became the Best Forensic Doctor After My Betrayal

296 Being Followed

She could smell the strong smell of smoke. She sighed heavily and sat beside him. “Brother, go and sleep for a while. Leave this to me.”

Lian Jing shook his head silently. He wanted to ask Lian Meng if Shen Nian had said anything to her last night and if he had said that Shen Yin was going to take him away.

However, he could not bring himself to articulate these questions. All he felt was a strong sense of helplessness. He had already regained his rationality after last night’s fit of frustration. Instead of forcing the child to relent, it would better for him to find Shen Yin himself.

His cell phone was almost out of battery. He picked up the charger and plugged it in. He continued to call Shen Yin’s cell phone over and over again.

Lian Meng also felt anxious as she watched him.

However, she did not dare to tell him that Shen Nian was going to bring her to see Shen Yin today. She had not yet understood the situation. If she just told Lian Jing, she might end up making things worse. Then she would be at fault.

She would wait until she had persuaded Shen Yin before telling her brother the news.

After making up her mind, Lian Meng tried to get Lian Jing to go back to his room to rest. After all, if he continued to sit here, she and Shen Nian would not have the chance to go out.

As Zhong Xin stared at the screen, he took the time to look at the anxious Lian Meng. Suddenly, he chimed in, “President Lian, you should rest first. Old Master Lian will be worried if he comes downstairs and sees you like this.”

“That’s right, that’s right. Brother, just listen to me. Go and rest first. Leave this to me.” Lian Meng looked at Zhong Xin gratefully and continued to shake Lian Jing’s arm.

Lian Jing’s lowered eyes made it impossible to read his emotions. Fortunately, he still cared about Old Master Lian’s feelings and she managed to persuade him. He stood up and stared at Lian Meng coldly. “If you have any news, come upstairs and tell me at once.”

“Alright, Brother, don’t worry!” Lian Meng finally managed to persuade him to leave. She felt slightly relieved. Even Zhong Xin could tell that she had suddenly relaxed.

However, she did not realize it. She was still feeling smug about being able to persuade Lian Jing.

After seeing him return to his room, Lian Meng abandoned Zhong Xin and rushed back to the room to look for Shen Nian. The two of them tidied up before walking down the stairs.

Most of the smoke in the living room had dissipated, but it was still stifling.

Shen Nian sniffed unhappily and looked at Zhong Xin, who was seriously sleep deprived. He frowned and advised, “Uncle Zhong, you should rest too. Auntie and I will go to the places Mom frequents to try our luck. I will call you if we see her.”

When Zhong Xin saw the young master come downstairs, he hurriedly put down his computer and stood up. He nodded respectfully and said, “Alright, be careful when you go out. If there’s any news, get Miss Lian to call me.”

“Okay.” Shen Nian agreed coolly. Then, without even looking at him, he led Lian Meng to the car and showed her Shen Yin’s current location.

The two of them did not bring the chauffeur. Lian Meng drove them to the location, but she did not realize that they were being secretly followed.

The moment they left, Lian Jing walked out from behind the stairs. When he returned to his room, he had changed his coat to remove the smell of smoke. Then he led Zhong Xin and the chauffeur to follow them from a distance.

Shen Yin had already been missing for an entire night. Of course he would not be so careless as to go to his room and sleep.

If he did not find Shen Yin, he would never be able to sleep well. He had to bring this woman back and tie her to his side, so that no man would ever look at her again.

After the car drove past the last intersection captured by the surveillance camera, Lian Jing’s brows furrowed tightly. When they turned into a remote villa area, the car in front suddenly stopped in front of a house. His heart was in his throat.

“President Lian.” Zhong Xin turned around tentatively and asked him what he wanted to do.

Miss Lian had already brought Shen Nian into the house. Should they follow her in to take a look?

Lian Jing wanted to smoke again, but he remembered that he was going to see Shen Yin soon. He barely controlled the frustration in his heart and opened the car window to take a deep breath. “There’s no hurry. Let’s wait a little longer.”

Lian Meng held Shen Nian’s hand and knocked on the door. Not long after, a servant came to open the door. After the two of them explained who they were, they were immediately invited in.

Shen Yin had not slept much last night either. Now, she was sitting at the dining table with a listless expression, listening to Cheng Mu ramble on about interesting things in school while stuffing breakfast into her mouth.

She wondered how Nian Nian had slept last night. Would he be frightened by her sudden departure? Had he eaten breakfast?

And that man… Had he been with Mo Ru the whole night?

“Yin Yin.” Cheng Huo gently peeled an egg for her and placed it in her bowl. “Eat. I’ll bring you to buy some daily necessities later. Although I have everything at home, I’m afraid you won’t be used to them.”

“No need.” Shen Yin shook her head and rejected him listlessly. “I’ll leave soon. I’ll find another house to stay in.”
