Chapter 201: Chapter 201: That’s Not Home Anymore (1)_1

After leaving Xia Chen’an’s home, Han Jingnian stood by the road for a while before driving home.

Xia Wan’an still hadn’t come home.

By this time, it was already eleven o’clock at night.

It was already so late, she hadn’t gone to her parents’, nor had she visited her friends. Until now, her phone hadn’t been turned on. Where could she be on her own? Could she still be crying?

Thinking about these things, Han Jingnian, who hadn’t located Xia Wan’an after such a long search, became completely panicked and frantic. Then, without a care, he directly dialed the phone of his assistant, Zhang Te, abandoning his usual rationality in his speech: "I don’t care how much it costs, go and check all hotels and places open at night for me now, find her!"

Zhang Te, who had already laid down, was stunned for a while before reacting to what Han Jingnian was saying: "Who am I looking for?"

"Who do you think?" Han Jingnian responded tersely.

"The... the wife? What happened to your wife? Why isn’t she home? Did she run away from home?"

His sore point pricked, Han Jingnian’s eyes immediately reddened: "Zhang, Cheng!"

Holy Crap! Did he actually guess right? Did his wife really run away from home?!

Zhang Te, who had unintentionally stumbled upon such a big scoop, quickly conceded: "I’m sorry, President Han, I’ll take care of it right away."

Just before Zhang Te hung up the phone, Han Jingnian, as if he had remembered something, spoke again: "And, set up checkpoints on all the roads, stop each vehicle for inspection!"

He refused to believe that a single person, a person he was looking for, couldn’t be found even if he turned the whole Capital City upside down!

"..."

It turned out that with all the considerable financial and man power Han Jingnian expended and the upheaval he caused throughout most of the night, he really did turn the whole Capital City upside down and still couldn’t find Xia Wan’an.

It was already three o’clock in the morning but Han Jingnian had no intentions of giving up.

Zhang Te, seeing Han Jingnian acting recklessly without regard for consequences, witnessed this side of him for the first time since working with him.

Zhang Te, who was initially thrilled by the great scoop he had stumbled upon unknowingly, was praying fervently at this moment for the wife to come back as quickly as possible. If she didn’t return soon, their world would crumble...

Perhaps because too many people were praying to the heavens, the gods did not answer Zhang Te’s prayers, forcing him to spend the entire night assisting Han Jingnian in his search for his wife.

In the end, it was Zhang Te’s words that calmed down Han Jingnian, "President Han, today is Monday, your wife needs to go to work."

Han Jingnian, who had searched everywhere from high-speed rail stations, airports, even public restrooms on the street, upon hearing these words, finally relieved the exhausted team that had been with him all night, and proceeded directly to the office.

Seeing that Han Jingnian looked terrible, Zhang Te became worried: "President Han, do you want to eat something?"

Han Jingnian did not respond.

Zhang Te spoke again: "Or maybe, you should have some water, take a rest?"

Han Jingnian still did not respond.

But this time, about a minute later, he suddenly spoke: "Did she... eat anything? Did she get any sleep?"

The tone of his voice was somewhat powerless. Yes, he had been searching for so long, but still hadn’t found her. It was the first time he had felt so helpless.

Zhang Te wasn’t sure what to say in response to this lightweight comment.

He had never seen this side of President Han.

Pale, with dark circles under his eyes, stubble growing on his chin, he looked rough and haggard.

Yet, all he could think of was his wife.

The office was silent for quite some time. Compassionate, Zhang Te finally spoke again: "President Han, why don’t I accompany you back home? Take a bath, freshen up, then come back to the office."
