The Case of Love

Chapter 68 Su Xiaoxin is missing

After hearing what her daughter said, Li Aifang became even more anxious, her voice trembling, "Don't I know if there is something wrong with the company? I asked, your sister went out at noon and didn't come back in the afternoon. No one in the company knows where she went. It's so late and she hasn't come back yet. Did something happen?"

"Mom, don't be anxious. Let's think about it carefully. Where else can I go except home?" Su Xiaohan was also panicked, especially after her sister Xia Mo disappeared and her father Su Junan passed away mysteriously. She was more concerned about the safety of her family.

"No, your sister always tells me where she goes. She wouldn't be out so late and have no news from me." Li Aifang thought about it but still had no clue. She rubbed her temples gently, trying to relieve the increasingly severe headache.

"Ring, ring, ring..." While the mother and daughter were talking, the phone in the living room rang, causing their hearts to tremble and they subconsciously looked towards the direction of the phone.

Knowing that her sister didn't come home, Su Xiaohan couldn't help thinking the worst. She even wondered if her sister had been kidnapped. When the phone rang, she thought it was the kidnapper calling, so she ran past her mother to answer it.

"Xiaohan?" The voice on the other end of the line was Zhu Nanfeng's clear and melodious voice.

Su Xiaohan's heart, which had fallen to the bottom, gradually calmed down, and she responded, "Brother Nanfeng."

"Xiao Han, my aunt just called me and said that Sister Xiao Xin hasn't come home yet. Is she back now?" Zhu Nanfeng's tone was anxious.

"My sister hasn't come back yet." Su Xiaohan answered truthfully when Zhu Nanfeng asked.

"Xiao Han, don't be anxious. Think carefully about where Sister Xiao Xin might have gone. I'll take people to look for her right away!" Zhu Nanfeng comforted.

"My sister never comes home so late, and she goes to very few places, either home or the company." Su Xiaohan couldn't think of anywhere.

Zhu Nanfeng comforted her with a few words, then left home and drove straight to the Su family.

Time passed little by little, and it was already past 12 o'clock in the morning. Su Xiaohan and her mother became more and more anxious.

"Mom, I'll go to my sister's room!" Su Xiaohan thought, maybe she could find some clues in her sister's room.

She didn't have time to change her shoes, and went upstairs with a "thump thump". Su Xiaoxin's room was opposite hers, and the door was closed at the moment, making Su Xiaohan have a momentary illusion that her sister was inside.

But when she opened the door, there was no one in the room. Only the window was open, and the night wind blew the royal blue damask curtains, making a slight sound.

Su Xiaohan turned on the light and found a few clothes on her sister Su Xiaoxin's bed, which were obviously not put back in the closet in time. On the sandalwood carved dressing table, the skin care products she usually used were gone. It seemed that she took the clothes and skin care products to go out.

Without time to think about it, she ran downstairs and asked her aunt at home, "Aunt Zhao, has my sister come home during the day today?"

The aunt thought about it, her eyes lit up and she said, "I went out to buy groceries this morning, and when I came back I felt someone had come home, maybe Xiaoxin came back at that time!"

Li Aifang saw that her daughter's expression was not right, so she hurried forward and asked, "Xiao Han, what did you find?"

"Mom, I suspect my sister didn't disappear, but left on her own." Su Xiaohan looked at her mother with a sad face. She couldn't understand why her sister would go without even saying hello.

"What? Xiaoxin left on her own? But why? Why did she leave?" Li Aifang and her husband Su Junan have been in the business world for many years and have developed a calm demeanor. However, she couldn't remain calm when faced with her eldest daughter leaving home. After her husband's accidental death, she couldn't bear any more blows! "Mom, don't worry, let's look around the house to see if my sister left a note or something." Su Xiaohan was also panicked, but she had to be strong in front of her mother.

"Okay, let's look for it together!" As soon as Su Xiaohan finished speaking, Li Aifang looked at her aunt at home and said.

Auntie responded readily and started looking in the living room.

Su Xiaohan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking out, her thoughts uncontrollably drifting to the night her father passed away.

She and her sister Su Xiaoxin gathered around their father's body and made a wish to avenge him no matter what. She and her sister suspected that their father's death was not an accident, but someone deliberately did it, but they had no evidence.

Su Xiaohan was raised by her father as a son since she was a child. She has a sense of justice and hates evil. When she took the college entrance examination, she resolutely applied for the criminal investigation major at Beijing Public Security University. Although she looks like a lady, she is strong inside. But Su Xiaoxin is different. She is dignified and quiet. She has been well-behaved and sensible since she was a child and has never experienced any big storms. Su Xiaohan did not expect that her always fragile sister could actually say words of revenge for her father.

She guessed that her sister's sudden departure might be related to her previous words about revenge for her father, but she didn't understand why she left without saying goodbye.

A dazzling light shines through the iron carved gate, drawing a dazzling arc in the dark night.

Su Xiaohan followed the light and found a car parked at the door. It was Zhu Nanfeng.

Hearing the car horn, she ran out to open the door. Looking at the tall and upright figure getting out of the car, Su Xiaohan's heart seemed to be much more at ease.

Over the years, Zhu Nanfeng has been caring for her and taking care of her family like an older brother. No matter how strong her heart is, she still wants a harbor where she can relax and rest, and Zhu Nanfeng is this harbor.

But her feelings towards Zhu Nanfeng are more like a sister's dependence on her brother, rather than the affection between lovers.

"Auntie, Xiaohan!" Zhu Nanfeng ran in quickly, slightly out of breath.

Su Xiaohan and her mother went to meet Zhu Nanfeng together, both of them with melancholy looks on their faces.

After Zhu Nanfeng inquired about the situation in detail, he promised: "Auntie, Xiaohan, leave the task of finding Sister Xiaoxin to me! Even if I have to search the entire capital, I will find Sister Xiaoxin!"

Li Aifang was touched and said, "Good boy, if you can find your sister Xiaoxin back, auntie will thank you in any way!"

Su Xiaohan lowered her head, as if thinking about something. After a while, she slowly said, "Mom, Brother Nanfeng, if my sister is in Beijing, it will be easy to find her. I'm just afraid that she is not in Beijing and has gone somewhere else."

"Xiao Han, don't worry too much. If I can't find Sister Xiaoxin in Beijing, I will ask people to look for her somewhere else. No matter what, I will find Sister Xiaoxin for you!" Zhu Nanfeng said confidently with a gleam in his eyes.

Zhu Nanfeng's family was in the pharmaceutical business. His father, Zhu Wanfang, was a famous drug dealer in Beijing. His businesses were spread all over the country and he had a wide network of contacts. Su Xiaohan knew the strength of his family and nodded to him with a smile.

Zhu Wanfang and Su Junan had a close personal relationship. When Su Junan was alive, he intended to bring Su Xiaohan and Zhu Nanfeng together. However, before he could even mention this, he died in a fire at a garment factory owned by Junan Company.
