Chapter 46: Lost Her

At the Sozali Republic Capital Airport, a private luxury plane stopped on the tarmac.

The cabin door opened, and the Young Master of the Shi family stepped out, wearing a silver high-end outdoor outfit, his hair combed neatly and flat, and wearing sunglasses.

Below the steps, several volunteers from the Aid Africa Foundation were already waiting.

"Mr. Shi, this is the bodyguard we arranged for you. He will follow you throughout the entire journey to protect your safety."

A young volunteer pointed to a man and introduced him.

Seeing that person wearing a black hoodie and jeans, wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap, blocking most of his face, Shi Heng still recognized him at a glance—who else could it be but Chu Yehan?!

Seeing Shi Heng, Chu Yehan was also startled in his heart.

Damn, the African big boss Uncle Wei introduced to him was actually Shi Heng? What a narrow road for enemies!

However, he reacted immediately; Shi Heng's purpose in coming here wasn't any aid for African refugees at all, nothing more than to find his sister Shi Yi! It happened to coincide with his own goal.

"Heh, President Shi, what a coincidence, we meet again. But you came to Sozali, not to do charity, right?"

Chu Yehan "politely" took off his baseball cap and curled his lips sarcastically.

Shi Heng snorted coldly with full disgust:

"Chu Yehan, you came here, not to be my bodyguard, right?"

After saying that, he turned to the volunteer beside him and ordered coldly:

"I want to change bodyguards."

The young volunteer showed a look of embarrassment, "Mr. Shi, human resources here in Sozali are limited. If we look for another bodyguard temporarily, I'm afraid it will be too late..."

Chu Yehan laughed, walked up and said:

"President Shi, since you already know that your and my purposes for this trip coincide, why not go together? After all, the situation here in Sozali isn't very good; a nationwide epidemic has already broken out. If we go late, that fresh and beautiful life of your sister might turn into a cold..."

Shi Heng's pupils widened, and his large palm grabbed Chu Yehan's neck fiercely, "You fucking dare?!"

Chu Yehan was choked until his face turned red, but he still struggled to curl his lips into a smile: "President Shi, it's not whether I dare or not, it's that it's chaotic here..."

Shi Heng gritted his teeth and let go. He didn't want to waste time here, but thinking of the things this beast had done to Shi Yi, a fire of industry surged in his heart.

Chu Yehan not only removed one of Shi Yi's kidneys, helped her forge her resume, but also... almost killed Shi Yi!

Shi Heng had investigated the footage from that night three months ago—Shi Yi had been forcibly taken to a bar by this beast, had her head pressed down to drink alcohol, and had a bucket of ice water with ice cubes poured over her!

He would settle this account with this bastard sooner or later!

"Heh, go together? Of course."

Shi Heng said, approaching Chu Yehan step by step. The next second, he suddenly took the mineral water in his hand, unscrewed the cap, held it over Chu Yehan's head, and poured it all over him:

"Chu, don't worry, the things you did to my sister, one by one, piece by piece, I remember them all clearly. This account, I will settle with you bit by bit, slowly!"

Shi Heng's voice was low and full of oppression, and the look in his eyes was as fierce as if it were tempered with knives.

The cold mineral water poured over Chu Yehan's head unexpectedly, and even choked into his nasal cavity. Chu Yehan coughed for a while, then looked up, brushed his wet hair back, and that mocking smile hung on his mouth again.

"Heh, if you don't settle with me, I have to settle with you. Don't forget, your Shi family still owes my sister a life."

Shi Heng ignored him and said coldly to the volunteers on either side:

"Let's go."

The camping site of the 21st International Medical Rescue Team where Shi Yi was located was in the Ngoro Province in southern Sozali, a distance of over 1,500 kilometers from the capital, and it would take a day and a night by car. If everything went smoothly, they would probably arrive on Monday morning.

He didn't want to waste any more time here.

Shi Heng and Chu Yehan's motorcade, loaded with rescue supplies, had just departed from the Sozali capital airport when another flight landed on the airport runway.

A long, elegant figure dragged a suitcase out.

Su Yichen was here for emergency support on the front line this time, without an accompanying team, just him alone, and his destination was also the 21st camp of the International Rescue Team where Shi Yi was located.

"I want to go to XX City, XX District, Ngoro Province, are you going?"

Su Yichen found a chartered driver near the airport; he was a local, and looked quite honest.

The black driver immediately showed a mouthful of white teeth and said in broken English: "No problem!"

Vroom, vroom—

The old Santana soon started, kicking up a cloud of dust on the bumpy dirt road.

The scenery outside the window was desolate; besides the boundless Gobi Desert, there were only some ruined cities and houses.

"Excuse me, how much longer until we arrive?"

"It's not close from here to Ngoro Province; we won't arrive until the morning after tomorrow," the driver answered in English.

"I see."

Su Yichen sat in the back seat, took a small notebook out of the backpack he was carrying—it was exactly Shi Yi's diary.

This diary was obtained from Wang Mama two weeks ago, and he hadn't finished reading it yet, only about half of it.

It wasn't that he read slowly, but that he couldn't bear to finish it all at once. What was recorded here were mostly the heartaches of Shi Yi's youth, as well as the pure and beautiful time she spent with him.

These purest and flawless feelings revealed between the lines were, for Su Yichen, both unparalleled treasures and a kind of spiritual torture—he had once possessed a girl's unreserved trust and all her love, but he had lost her.

"December 13th, today, I saw Yichen brother's sneakers were small, and it took a lot of effort to put them on; it must be very uncomfortable. I must give him a new pair of sneakers... but I have no money... what should I do..."

"December 14th, I thought of a good way, which is to go to the back mountain to dig kudzu roots. I know the small shop at the entrance of the welfare institute can collect them. I can sneak out at night when everyone is asleep to dig, but I'm a bit afraid of the dark... Come on, Yi, you can do it!"

"December 15th, successfully climbed over the wall last night! Dug several kudzu roots in the back mountain, just didn't have tools, dug them with my bare hands, broke 4 fingernails... But the boss collected my kudzu roots! Gave me 10 yuan, so good! A few more days of digging and I'll have enough money to buy shoes for Yichen brother!"

Seeing the words "broke 4 fingernails," Su Yichen's heart ached fiercely. Ten fingers connected to the heart; how much pain must she have been in at that time!

He vaguely remembered that when he was in junior high school, Shi Yi gave him a pair of sneakers. But he thought she had bought them for him with her family's money; after all, although she was raised in the welfare institute, she was still the second daughter of the Shi family. Su Yichen had known since he was a child that her identity was different from others.

But he didn't expect that those sneakers were exchanged by Shi Yi in such a way!

Su Yichen only felt his heart aching uncontrollably. Just then, the car stopped abruptly, and his body tilted forward violently.
