Chapter 127: Lin Qingya Has Disappeared

Cheng Wan did not give Chu Li a pleasant look; she said coldly, "You people really are birds of a feather, flocking together."

You all like threatening women.

Chu Li rubbed his nose, unable to say the word "wronged."

After all, the facts were right before them.

He said, "I will go find Cheng Han."

Cheng Wan was angry inside, "Let's go together."

Chu Li had Assistant Wu get Cheng Han's location.

However, Cheng Han had gone abroad again.

The plane he boarded took off only ten minutes apart from Lin Qingya's flight.

His intentions were clear as day.

Cheng Wan worried for Lin Qingya.

"Chu Li, you send Qingya away."

Aside from Chu Li, no one would dare risk the consequences of offending Young Master Cheng to help Lin Qingya.

The only person Cheng Wan could think of was Chu Li.

Moreover, Chu Li also hoped for Lin Qingya to leave.

Chu Li gave a hum of agreement; this time, he did not set any conditions.

They drove to where Lin Qingya lived.

On the way, Cheng Wan called Lin Qingya.

It went unanswered the whole time.

She felt uneasy inside and urged Chu Li to drive faster.

Cheng Wan had the password to Lin Qingya's home, and she opened the door.

The house was empty.

Even Lin Qingya's suitcase was not there.

Cheng Wan's legs went weak, and her face turned pale.

Lin Qingya was not there.

Had she not returned yet, or had something happened to her?

Chu Li wrapped his arm around her waist, his strong arm giving her strength.

"I will have people look into it."

Cheng Wan nodded distractedly.

At this moment, she could only wait.

Fortunately, Chu Li's people worked quickly; in less than half an hour, they had investigated Lin Qingya's movements clearly.

After Lin Qingya got into a taxi, she got out not long after and re-entered the airport.

She boarded a different flight.

Cheng Wan thought of Cheng Han almost immediately.

It was Cheng Han who had taken Lin Qingya away.

Cheng Wan recalled what Chu Li had said about Lin Qingya being involved in the deaths of Cheng Han's parents; if Cheng Han had taken Lin Qingya away, it definitely meant no good.

Furthermore, it was even happening abroad.

She could not wait.

"Take me to the airport."

She wanted to buy the next available flight to go find Lin Qingya.

"Wanwan, calm down." Chu Li held her, soothing her emotions, "I will arrange for people to intercept them, and besides, it might not necessarily be Cheng Han who took Lin Qingya."

"I want to go."

Cheng Wan turned and walked outside.

Once they reached the ground floor, Chu Li forcibly shoved her into the car.

He turned to the driver's seat and drove away from there.

He sent her back to Beicheng Villa.

"You are pregnant and need to rest."

"I will find a way regarding Lin Qingya's matter."

As he spoke, his tone softened a little, "Be good, go get some sleep."

No matter how worried Cheng Wan was, she could only endure it.

She checked the arrival time of the flight.

Once the time came, she immediately went to find Chu Li to ask about Lin Qingya's situation.

Chu Li had just hung up the phone; seeing her, his gaze held a hint of pity.

Cheng Wan's heart sank.

"Was she not found, or is Cheng Han not letting her leave?"

Chu Li remained silent.

Until Cheng Wan's expression grew increasingly anxious, "Say something."

"It is neither."

Chu Li looked at her, calm and composed.

"Cheng Han got off the plane alone; Lin Qingya was not by his side."

Cheng Wan froze; how could that be?

Besides Cheng Han, who else could make Lin Qingya give up on leaving Yuncheng?

Her heart was full of doubts, and she observed Chu Li's expression closely, only to find the man very composed.

What was she thinking?

Chu Li was bent on having Qin Yun Shu and Cheng Han marry; how could he possibly help Cheng Han lie?

But where exactly was Lin Qingya?

Just as Cheng Wan was frowning in worry, her phone rang with a notification.

Her breath hitched; it was Lin Qingya.

Lin Qingya said she had a sudden inspiration and had gone to a small mountain village in Qianzhou to find the beauty of ethnic clothing, so she could apply it to her future designs.

Cheng Wan sat on the sofa, clutching her phone, and asked Lin Qingya why she hadn't answered her calls.

Lin Qingya replied that she had just gotten off the plane and would call her once she was settled.

Cheng Wan told her to take care of her safety.

Lin Qingya did not send any more messages.

Cheng Wan lowered her eyes, her fingers gripping the phone tightly as she drifted into a slight daze.

Chu Li sat beside her, holding her warm, cool hand, his voice slow and deep, "Where did Lin Qingya go?"

Cheng Wan came back to her senses, a helpless, bitter smile on her lips, "She went to Qianzhou."

"Qianzhou?"

"Yes, she said she wanted to seek out the beauty of ethnic clothing to improve her skills in fashion design."

Chu Li's palm tightened as he looked at Cheng Wan's slightly pale features; her eyes were completely calm, revealing nothing.

"That's good, though she should have sent you a message before leaving, so you wouldn't have worried for nothing."

"As long as she is fine, that is all that matters."

She pulled her hand from Chu Li's palm, her emotions calming down.

Chu Li sighed helplessly; he looked at the wedding dress by the floor-to-ceiling window, which had not yet been put away because of Lin Qingya's viewing.

The beautiful wedding dress hung there, looking empty.

A servant came over to ask if Chu Li would be staying for dinner.

Chu Li looked at Cheng Wan.

She curled her lips into a faint smile, "Are you staying for dinner?"

"Yes."

Chu Li was mesmerized by this smile and did not notice the coldness in the depths of Cheng Wan's eyes.

After dinner, Chu Li wanted to stay the night.

Cheng Wan did not agree.

She saw him back to his car and said goodbye.

Chu Li left in disappointment.

Once the car disappeared from view, Cheng Wan's expression turned cold under the streetlights.

She took out her phone and sent a message to Wen Lvzhong, asking him to help find Lin Qingya's whereabouts abroad.

She had originally thought that for the sake of Qin Yun Shu, Chu Li shouldn't have helped Cheng Han hide Lin Qingya.

But Lin Qingya had sent a message saying she had gone to Qianzhou.

How could Lin Qingya have gone to Qianzhou?

She had always liked avant-garde, trendy elements, not rich, ethnic styles.

She could go to Haicheng, she could go to Jingcheng, or even to those big cities abroad to capture the most cutting-edge fashion trends.

But she would never go to Qianzhou.

Chu Li had lied to her.

The autumn wind blew into her eyes, chillingly cold.

……

Old Master Fang was going to take on a closing disciple.

Once the news was released, Perfumers from all over the country came to Yuncheng.

The Fang Family simply rented out an entire hotel to host this grand event.

Cheng Wan invited Wen Lvzhong to accompany her.

Chu Li had previously said she shouldn't attend for the sake of the child in her womb, but how could she possibly not come?

Regardless, it would be good to see this grand event on behalf of her master.

The scene was very lively, with Perfumers exchanging ideas everywhere.

One could even smell all sorts of fragrances.

Mindful of the child in her womb, Cheng Wan went upstairs with Wen Lvzhong.

From the second floor, one could take in the entire venue.

Wen Lvzhong stood considerately by her side and brought up the matter of Lin Qingya, "There haven't been any discoveries yet."

"However, Cheng Han returned to the country today, so it should be easier to investigate."

Cheng Wan thanked him, her heart twisted into a knot.

Regardless, for now, she could only suppress all her emotions.

She warned herself not to panic.

She could not reveal any traces in front of Chu Li and Cheng Han.

"No rush," she said to Wen Lvzhong in a low voice, "look slowly."

As long as the person is still there, they can always be found.
