Learning to Love Again

Han Yuan: "Shen Xun?"

Deng Xiao: "Yes, the police checked her house and found evidence to support their claims. It seems that she knows that they are after her so she fled."

Han Yuan remains silent.

He just got a text from the private investigator. Shen Xun was the one blocking Su Lian's information. Now, he's finding out that she kidnapped and tortured his employees.

This woman whom he deemed harmless.

This woman who had grown up by his side for twelve years.

Just what is her motive?

HanYuan: "Tell them to wait. I'll be there soon."

He ends the call and drives off, but doesn't seem to notice the car in the distance.

Shen Xun gripped her steering wheel tightly as she stared at his car driving off. He must have heard about her kidnapping those two women.

He must think that she's a monster, he'll never look at her the same way again.

She abandoned her car far and switched to this stolen, low-key black one without a license plate.

She is on the run. Driving here was just a coincidence, she didn't expect to see him.

What is he doing in this neighborhood?

This area might be nice and filled with villas, but they are not up to Han Yuan's standards. This place is garbage compared to his residence.

She saw him drive his car out of one of the homes.

Does he live here? Even though it would explain why he was missing for three days, it doesn't make any sense. It would be inconvenient.

There is no reason for him to be here. This new villa is actually much further away from his office than his old one.

Could he be visiting a friend? No, she has met all of his friends before. They are rich and elite. She can't imagine them settling for a house in such a neighborhood. Most of them led very private lives and would not tolerate having neighbors even though the villas were fenced and had a lot of space between them.

Shen Xun sits in her car feeling very conflicted.

A normal person with common sense, but she didn't.

She knew that the police were on her tail, but she couldn't throw away her curiosity. Anything concerning Han Yuan takes top priority.

She drives her car straight into the direction he just came from.

.....

Han Yuan walks to the building headquarters, ignoring all the greetings from the employees.

"Where are they?" He asks the receptionist and she immediately realizes that he is talking about the police officers.

"Upstairs, sir."

He heads straight for the elevator and walks to his office.

Two police officers are waiting in front of it with Deng Xiao.

The officers give their report and ask Han Yuan a few questions concerning Shen Xun's behavior and personal habits. He answers them all and has Deng Xiao see them off once they conclude.

Han Yuan takes a deep breath before walking inside his office. He sits in his chair and drums his fingers on his desk.

'Shen Xun, you better not let me find you myself.'
