Meanwhile, An Xi couldn’t find her mobile phone and, fearing Yan Qing would worry, dialed his number using the home phone… Unfortunately, only a cold machine voice answered: “The number you have dialed is powered off. Please leave a message after the beep…” “…Strange, Yan Qing wouldn’t turn off his phone, right?” An Xi tilted her head in confusion. Because of work, even if Yan Qing’s phone ran out of battery, he would immediately charge and turn it on when he got home. Could it be he hadn’t arrived home yet? No, he should have arrived… Should she wait a bit longer? Unfortunately, twenty minutes later, Yan Qing still hadn’t called back. An Xi thought and remembered she had Yan Hong’s business card… She quickly opened her bag, searched inside and out, and finally found it in a small wallet compartment. “…Hello, this is Cheng Kai’s home.” Yan Hong answered quickly. Although An Xi didn’t know Cheng Kai, she guessed he was probably Yan Hong’s husband… And she could recognize Yan Hong’s voice. “…Sister Yan Hong, it’s An Xi.” An Xi paused and said. “An Xi! What’s up?” Yan Hong’s voice was light and cheerful, which meant… she hadn’t noticed Yan Qing hadn’t returned home? “Sister Yan Hong, I wanted to ask if Yan Qing has come home… It’s just that his phone seems to be off… so…” An Xi asked hesitantly, inwardly hoping Yan Hong would hand the phone to Yan Qing in the next second. “Yan Qing? Wait a moment, let me check.” From Yan Hong’s side, it sounded like she was going to Yan Qing’s floor to ring the doorbell. An Xi nervously clutched the phone line… She didn’t know why, but she felt she was worrying too much…
Perhaps it was because Yan Qingping was constantly sending her text messages to maintain his presence, or perhaps because they were always together, so the lack of his messages felt strange… Yan Qing, you must stay at home!
“…Hello? Anxi, there’s no one at home… Yan Qingqing seems not to have come back…”
Yan Xin finally returned, but the news she brought was not good. Anxi frowned, about to say something, when suddenly she heard a loud door-kicking sound from the other side, followed by Yan Jin saying, “Yan Qing’s location… cannot be determined… GPS and such…”
Yan Xin listened to Yan Jin’s words, still with some confusion.
Yan Qing was no longer a child… Even if he came home late, it wouldn’t matter… But there was one thing: the issue of his phone being turned off. She couldn’t convince herself otherwise. After all, power banks could be used outside! He wouldn’t let his phone remain in a turned-off state for so long…
Yan Jin had been overly anxious about Yan Qing since childhood, but without a phone or GPS, he was completely at a loss… A moment of silence fell between them.
Anxi took a deep breath. Could something have happened to Yan Qing?!
The phone was turned off, and her own phone had gone missing… This was truly a “bad luck comes in waves” situation!
Wait a moment, something didn’t feel right…
Her phone should have been with her, and she was basically always with Yan Qing. Even if the phone were to be lost, it shouldn’t have been… No, something was wrong. She remembered being bumped by Lin Feifei while pouring milk… She was the only one who had been close to her, right? Could she have taken it?
“Sister Yan Xin, I’ll call you back if I have any news… Bye.”
Anxi hung up the phone and pulled out the company’s employee contact list from her bag… Fortunately, Yan Qing had her help carry it, which would now help her quickly find Lin Feifei’s number. Anxi quickly dialed Lin Feifei’s number—
“Beep… Beep… Beep… The number you have dialed is currently unavailable. Please leave a message after the tone…”
Something wasn’t right… Didn’t it connect earlier? Had Lin Feifei hung up on her?
Anxi looked at Lin Feifei’s phone number on the display, gradually forming a “terrifying yet plausible possibility” in her mind.
“Today~ I’m going to marry you~ …”
Lin Feifei hummed a song, laboriously placing the unconscious Yan Qing on the bed and carefully handcuffing him… Suddenly, her phone rang…
Lin Feifei glanced at it – an unfamiliar landline number…
Forget it, even if she answered, it would probably just be a sales call. She might as well hang up! And turn off the phone… She didn’t want to be disturbed by these nonsensical things right now…
…He’s not here,” Anxi answered with her head down. “I see… Then, is it convenient? I’ll just copy it directly onto his computer!” Xiao Ran thought for a moment, peeking over to see a man and a woman sitting on the sofa who seemed to resemble Yan Qing in their features, presumably his family. He waved the cactus friendly, “I’m Yan Qing’s colleague, my name is Xiao Ran… Well… Sorry to disturb!” “Wait, Xiao Ran… Do you know Yan Qing’s computer password or something?” Anxi suddenly grabbed Xiao Ran’s sleeve, startling him almost throwing the cactus away… He calmed down and smirked, “Even if Yan Qing isn’t here, you don’t need to be so enthusiastic! Of course I know the password. Yue Zijun knows it too…” Next, before Xiao Ran could fully understand the situation, Yan Ji and Anxi quickly guided him to Yan Qing’s computer. He pouted, skillfully opening Yan Qing’s computer, easily solving the boot password and file encryption. A folder named “ax is here” appeared before everyone… Yan Qing, you’re naming things too casually! Did you think they wouldn’t notice just by using name initials?! Double-clicking the folder… which indeed required a password. Since this wasn’t a work file, Xiao Ran was moved aside with his cactus. The password… could it be her birthday? Anxi immediately sat down to input it… Error?! It was actually wrong? Anxi felt frustrated… Yan Ji excitedly input his own birthday… of course, also wrong. They then tried Yan Xin’s, Yan Qing’s own, Yue Zijun’s, and even Xiao Ran’s… all incorrect… Suddenly, everyone was deeply discouraged, hanging their heads and continuing to think. Anxi also lowered her head, thinking… If she were Yan Qing, she would probably still use her own password… But wouldn’t that be too easy to guess? With a “let me try” attitude, she input her lunar birthday… — And the password actually opened! “Oh! It’s open! Quick, look…” Yan Ji selectively ignored the “password is still Anxi’s birthday” fact, excitedly pointing at the software in the opened folder, “I’ll handle the rest!” By tracking the location of Anxi’s phone that was left on, they found that room. Anxi was shocked… This location seemed familiar! Wasn’t this the building from her previous ghostly life when Yan Qing owned it? In this life, he shouldn’t have bought it! Moreover, wasn’t the phone at Lin Feifei’s place? No matter how she thought about it, something seemed strange… But… the software had recorded Anxi’s phone staying there for nearly an hour. “I’ll go take a look… It’s better than sitting here,” Anxi was the first to stand up. Although they couldn’t confirm Yan Qing was there, at this stage, it was the most likely location. “Right, I’m coming too! Sister, just wait for us at home,” Yan Ji directly pulled Anxi downstairs, calmly telling her: “Actually, I really don’t want you to go, but if something happens to Yan Qing, that useless boy would definitely want to see you first…” “…” Although… Yan Ji’s words sounded somewhat heroic… But… she was the one who should go in the first place!!!
