Rebirth: He Decides to Lie Flat
Chapter 519 - 519 514 Lost Contact

Chapter 519: Chapter 514: Lost Contact Chapter 519: Chapter 514: Lost Contact “Don’t worry, they won’t break up. But if Zhu Jin calls you again, tell her to be a little less jealous.”

Zhu Jin’s jealousy was well-known in their high school friends circle, even Xiao Qi, who was far away in North City, often teased her about it.

Mu Jiawen snorted coldly, “Then why don’t you advise Yu Hang to give her more security? If nothing is wrong, would Zhu Jin be jealous for no reason?”

Jiang Yan didn’t dare to make a sound. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to defend his good brother; he was afraid that if he kept talking, the fire might start burning him instead.

However…

“Why are you silent now? Got nothing to say? Hmph, I knew it would be like this!”

Jiang Yan: ….

He couldn’t help but hiss, “Being your close friend is truly a blessed thing, always taking her side regardless of right or wrong. Alright, alright, it’s all Yu Hang’s fault. I’ll scold him later.”

As he spoke, he quickly changed the subject, “You just said his phone was off because he is on a business trip? Try calling him now.”

Mu Jiawen didn’t hold onto the matter either, taking out her phone to call Yu Hang.

“It’s still off. Could he have lost his phone?” Having said that, Mu Jiawen shook her head, “Even if he did lose it, he would definitely buy a new one right away. Weird, a photography journalist…”

As she spoke, her eyes slowly grew wider as her thoughts and imagination spread, “Jiang Yan, could it be that Yu Hang accidentally took photos of something he shouldn’t have and got caught by someone?”

Uh…

Jiang Yan squinted at the road ahead, thinking this guy couldn’t be that unlucky.

“He’s just a newly promoted journalist still being guided by his master. He shouldn’t encounter such opportunities.”

Mu Jiawen was taken aback and said in surprise, “You call that an opportunity?”

“Yeah, an opportunity to court death.”

“…Indeed, it is.”

Although he dismissed the idea out loud, Jiang Yan still felt uneasy. It had been a week and they hadn’t been able to contact Yu Hang; could it be that something had actually happened?

Considering the possibility they both dreaded, they stopped talking about other things. After trying to call Yu Hang several more times without success, Mu Jiawen asked Zhu Jin to call his workplace to see if his master could reach him.

If both couldn’t be reached, that would mean missing for a week, which would require reporting to the police.

Zhu Jin was terrified when she heard this, rushing to contact his familiar colleagues at work. After some complications, she found out that his master was also missing.

Before Zhu Jin could report to the police, the leaders of Yu Hang’s department became frantic.

By the time Jiang Yan and Mu Jiawen arrived in Jade City, only two hours had passed since they discovered Yu Hang was missing. Zhu Jin had unexpectedly asked for leave and was already at Beijing Airport.

Mu Jiawen got angry when she heard this, “What are you going to do there? The police have already been notified; why add to the chaos?”

“Jiajia, I’m really anxious, I can’t relax unless I go check it out.”

“What are you going to check? Do you know where he is?”

“I got the address of his business trip from his workplace.”

“And then what?”

“I…”

“What are you going to do? Do you think the police don’t know the address? Their investigation will be much more helpful than you going there. Go back right now, you wouldn’t be able to help anyway.”

“Doo doo doo…”

Before she could finish, Zhu Jin had hung up the phone.

After putting down her phone, Mu Jiawen let out a sigh, “Ah, this silly girl.”

A few days ago, she called him up and assured him that, if Yu Hang didn’t take the initiative to apologize, she would ignore him for half a year.

Ignore him for half a year? You can’t even last a week.

So spineless!

“You don’t need to worry, she’s grown up and knows to be careful, doesn’t she? Besides, the police have been notified by now, and his colleagues from the business trip are surely looking for him, too. With so many people on it, she won’t come to any harm. As for Yu Hang…”

Jiang Yan found it very strange, “I heard from him before that the teacher taking him is a seasoned professional who has been working in the industry for over a decade, with solid skills and abundant experience. It should be very safe to go out with such a teacher, how could he suddenly lose contact?”

Mu Jiawen turned her head to look outside the car, “Let’s not talk about him for now, look over there. Isn’t that man coming with the vegetable basket your dad?”

They had already arrived at Jiang Fengwei’s neighborhood, but had yet to get out of the car because of Zhu Jin’s phone call.

“It is him, let’s go.”

Both of them got out of the car, and Jiang Fengwei, who was about to head inside, spotted Jiang Yan instantly and his eyes lit up.

Just as he was about to call out to his son, the passenger door of the Audi opened, and a young girl in a black dress stepped out.

Jiang Fengwei was taken aback, and after a few seconds, it dawned on him, and he eagerly stepped forward, “Xiaoyan, is this your girlfriend? You… Jiajia?”

Mu Jiawen’s face was too distinctive, and Jiang Fengwei used to go back to his hometown often before moving here, with the two families living close by, so naturally, he had seen Mu Jiawen several times.

But seeing her here now felt incredible to him.

“How come… ”

He looked at his son, then at Mu Jiawen, hesitating to think deeper.

“Uncle Jiang.”

“Ah.”

Jiang Fengwei responded, still casting his son an inquisitive look while also muttering to himself why the sneaky kid hadn’t told him earlier if his girlfriend was Jiajia?

And another thing, did Jiajia manage to get into university?

Even though the girl was smart and had good grades, it wasn’t certain whether Mr. and Mrs. Song would support her through university.

No, that’s not right, his son had said before that his girlfriend was attending Beijing University just like him, so…

His eyes suddenly brightened as he realized that Jiajia hadn’t just gotten into university, she was studying at Beijing University, just like his son.

“It’s hot outside, come on, let’s go upstairs. I bought fish and meat to cook something delicious for you two.”

The three of them walked towards the building, and on the way, Jiang Fengwei casually asked, “Jiajia, how are your parents? Are they still selling vegetables?”

Mu Jiawen didn’t reply, and Jiang Yan took over, “Jiajia isn’t the biological child of Mr. and Mrs. Song; she’s found her biological mother. It’s a long story and I won’t go into details right now. Her mother is in Beijing, and you can visit sometime when you’re free, and we can all have a meal together.”

Jiang Fengwei was surprised for a second, then understood.

Once they got home, he pulled Jiang Yan into the kitchen. While sorting the groceries, he whispered to Jiang Yan, “About Jiajia’s background, I’m not bothered by a long story, so why don’t you tell me more about it?”

After saying this, he elaborated, “This isn’t me being nosy, you know. I’m writing novels now, and sometimes I really need this kind of unusual material. In the evenings after dinner, I often go downstairs to hang around and listen to those dancing ladies gossip…”

He stopped talking as he noticed Jiang Yan smiling with a twinkle in his eye, looking at him sidelong.

Jiang Fengwei laughed sheepishly, “What’s that look for? Don’t you understand work needs?”

“Understand? Of course, I do. So now you’re diving into groups of women every day?”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Fengwei felt even more guilty. Just because he gossiped, two widows had almost come to blows over him recently.

Of course, this was something he absolutely couldn’t let Jiang Yan know about.
