She chose to withdraw money from a bank in Jiangcheng, right under his nose, just to leave a signal to tell him that she was hiding on her own and he didn't need to look for her and she wouldn't come back.

Because he knew her secret, he knew that she was not Jian Yan... He should understand what she was worried about!

Those who are smart should just sit back and do nothing, or just pretend to look for the person, and then report a missing or dead result.

This is good for her, him, and Jian Yao.

Jian Yao would not continue to stare at him and try to plot against him.

She thought Tong Ruixiao was a smart man, but she didn't expect him to be so stubborn!

The police were told the truth and used it as a clue to find the person. After the police learned about it, they naturally split into two groups.

A group of people were conducting a legitimate search on the street, making people who didn't know the truth think that she was really missing and not leaving intentionally, which also lowered her vigilance.

The other group observed in secret, not alerting the enemy, and tracked and confirmed any suspected targets they found.

How abominable!

hateful!

"Bang!" A stone was kicked away from under her thick soft-soled shoes, making a sound.

Jian Yan had a sullen face, put on his mask, and walked to a small convenience store to buy soy sauce.

She looked up at the tourists and police passing by on the street, and it seemed that she would not be able to buy foundation today.

I returned to the store with the soy sauce and was about to open the door when I saw a blue figure through the glass window.

police!

Her breath hitched and her heart was pounding with fear.

He turned around almost immediately and ran away.

In order to avoid her actions from deliberately arousing suspicion, she slowed down her pace, went around the alley, and hid behind the house. After she saw the police from the corner of her eye, she entered the store from the back.

My heart is still beating wildly.

Because she didn't know whether Yang Ruoliu had disclosed her information to the police. If so, she needed to leave immediately!

"Sister Yang, this is the soy sauce you asked for. I bought it for you."

Before entering the door, she took off her mask, put it in her pocket, and handed the soy sauce to Yang Ruoliu.

When the other party saw her coming back with the soy sauce, he was very happy and said, "Oh, you're finally back. The police came just now and questioned me for a while. I was still looking around the store."

Jane Yan felt nervous and was glad that her drawing board was taken back to her room. At the same time, she was worried that the other party might give her away.

She showed an indifferent expression, as if she was not interested in this matter. "Well, then what?"

"They kept asking me if I had seen any young women from other places around me in the past two days. How could that be possible? You are the only one from other place, but you have been renting a house for almost a month. You are definitely not the one they are looking for."

Yang Ruoliu handed the soy sauce to Fangfang and asked her to put it back on her arm.

Jian Yan looked at her facial expressions and demeanor when she said these words, and only after confirming that she was not lying did his tense body relax.

She shrugged. "Yeah, they're looking for a rich wife. I'm just a painting teacher. How could I be the one they're looking for?"

Unexpectedly, what saved her from suspicion was time.

Jian Yan returned to his room, stroked his cell phone, and fell into deep thought.

Tong Ruixiao sent someone to look for her, so why was the time she said she was missing inaccurate? He knew exactly when she left.

How is this going?

……

Jiangcheng.

On the second floor of the villa, in the main study.

"Dad, do you know something?"

"You must know that the last person Jian Yan saw that day was you... What did you hide? Why did she disappear?!"

The boy stood there with red eyes, anxious and angry, almost crying. He clenched his fists tightly and looked at the man sitting at the desk.

The man was wearing a brown shirt and suit vest, always looking so elegant and respectable. He lowered his eyes and read a document, indifferent to his anger.

"Xiao Mu, I told you this is not your business. Don't interfere. I will handle it."

The voice was cold and deep. As soon as the words came out, the air pressure around them dropped a lot, making it even more suffocating.

"Get out. You are not allowed to enter the study room without my permission."

Tong Huaimu listened to these cold words and looked at the person in front of him. He felt so strange and scary that his teeth were chattering.

My stepmother has been missing for half a month. She might have met with an accident and her life is in danger... I am as anxious as a headless fly and I am worried all the time.

Yet this man can sit here calmly and speak in a dignified manner, like he is sending away a beggar with cold words...

What a irony! What a coldness!

He closed his eyes in despair.

Those scenes from two years ago resurfaced in his mind, like nails, digging deep into his bones.

In the hospital, the hoarse and ferocious roar of the terminally ill woman pierced his eardrums and tore at his internal organs;

In the dim warehouse, the kidnapper held the phone in front of his face. He thought he could be redeemed, but the other end of the phone heard an extremely cold voice: "I don't have time to negotiate with you. It's useless to threaten him."

Yes!

You already know what kind of person Tong Ruixiao is, don't you?

I thought Jian Yan was different from my biological mother and myself. She had never harmed Tong Ruixiao, so Tong Ruixiao would definitely not treat her so coldly...

Unexpectedly, everyone would be the same when something happened.

Ah!

Who doesn't care about this man!

Everything was a false appearance, but I still foolishly believed him, believing that the words of love he said before he fainted from serious injuries were true...

Tong Huaimu felt suffocated.

He walked to the desk, suppressed his anger, and his voice was hoarse and trembling, "Why don't you tell me? Is there some secret you're afraid I'll know?"

He almost asked angrily, "What is it? Is there anything more important than her safety?"

At this moment, Tong Ruixiao suddenly raised his eyes, his gaze suddenly became sharp, staring at him intently, almost piercing through him.

The two words were spit out gloomily, "Get out!"

Sven's face was shrouded in gloom, showing a sickly paleness. There seemed to be a lingering haze in his eyes, making his eyes cold and terrifying.

The boy was so frightened by his gaze that he took two steps back. The color on his face instantly disappeared. "Dad..."

My legs almost weakened and I fell to my knees.

He had never seen this expression on a man before.

He staggered out of the study, his back soaked with cold sweat.

Assistant Li, who was carrying documents upstairs, passed by him and saw that he looked very bad. He probably guessed what had happened.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

At this critical juncture, aren't you just asking for trouble?

He paused and whispered, "Young Master, please don't bother Director Tong for the time being. What you are worried about is what everyone is worried about. I believe Director Tong will give you a satisfactory answer."

After saying that, he strode forward and turned into the study.

Close the door.

"Director Tong, the police have interrogated the five people who assassinated you for the third time. They insisted that they committed the crime together because they hated you. They refused to admit that they had any connection with Jian Yao. It seems that Jian Yao has evidence against them."
