Chapter 1084: Chapter 1084 Mysterious Man 2

Seeing Xiaobei emerging from inside, Mianmian found it strange. She also stepped in to check and then came back out.

"I went into the wrong box," Xiaobei casually made up an excuse.

Mianmian didn’t doubt him, took Xiaobei by the hand, turned around, but thought she saw a figure disappearing at the stairwell. She paused, let go of Xiaobei, and chased after it, only to find the staircase empty.

She wandered back distractedly, saw Xiaobei, and with a flash in her eyes, squatted down to ask, "Xiaobei, did you just see anyone?"

Xiaobei shook his head, "No."

"Really nothing?" Mianmian was skeptical.

"Really nothing," Xiaobei reiterated shaking his head again.

"Xiaobei, tell mom the truth, did you really not see anyone?" Mianmian coaxed, "Did you see a tall uncle?"

"No," Xiaobei said firmly.

At this time, Yiqian and the others, seeing that they had not returned for a long time, also came out. Seeing Mianmian pressing Xiaobei for answers, Yiqian picked up Xiaobei, "What’s wrong?"

Xiaoxi also helped Mianmian up, "Mianmian, what happened?"

"Nothing," Mianmian shook her head.

Everyone exchanged looks, saw that Mianmian was unwilling to elaborate, and did not pursue it further. So, they all went back to the box. However, Mianmian seemed distracted and suddenly interrupted the conversation.

"Brother, have you heard any news about planes recently?"

This question startled everyone.

The room fell silent as Mianmian pressed on, "Have you been watching the news lately? Did they mention anything about that case? Like someone who disappeared years ago suddenly showing up?"

"No," Yiqian replied decisively, his face filled with concern, "Mianmian, what’s wrong? Why are you suddenly asking about this? Did someone mention something to you?"

These past years, Mianmian had never asked about such things.

Mianmian smiled faintly, somewhat absentmindedly, "It’s nothing, I just haven’t been watching the news lately, so I just asked."

Yiqian: "..."

He looked at Mianmian worriedly but didn’t say anything else.

The atmosphere in the box got somewhat eerie, and everyone lost their appetite. They all knew Mianmian’s temperament. Despite appearing normal over the years, everyone knew she had never truly moved on from that incident.

After sitting for a while longer, Lu Nian paid the bill, and everyone left the hotel together. On the way home, they passed a newspaper stand, and Mianmian suddenly perked up, running over to buy the past half-month’s newspapers.

Seeing this, everyone exchanged more worried looks.

Back home, Mianmian had no interest in making small talk and sat directly on the stone bench to start reading the newspapers.

Though nobody voiced it, everyone knew what Mianmian was looking at. Lu Nian felt it was inappropriate to stay any longer, so he made an excuse to leave. The others offered to walk him out, and they all went to the door together.

Once at the door, Yiqian asked, "Who has been with Mianmian recently? Do you know what happened?"

Yang Lan responded, "I went out with her today, and while waiting at a red light, she suddenly rushed out of the car as if looking for someone. I asked her, but she seemed reluctant to talk, so I didn’t press further."
