Chapter 538 - 538 539 Haohao (2)_1
?Chapter 538: Chapter 539 Haohao (2)_1 Chapter 538: Chapter 539 Haohao (2)_1 Liang Chen drove straight to the airport and called Miss Su on the way to look up Jing Haohao’s flight information.
It wasn’t five minutes before Miss Su called back. The moment Liang Chen answered, he asked anxiously, “Did you find it?”
“I did. Miss Jing’s flight is headed to France.”
France? The same destination as the ticket she bought when she left him last time.
Was it a distraction tactic again?
“Check if she has boarded the flight. If she has, book me a ticket to France.”
…
Miss Su was efficient. She soon called Liang Chen back and told him that Jing Haohao had used the VIP channel. The airport staff had personally ushered her onto the plane which had taken off half an hour ago.
An hour and a half later, Liang Chen took the next flight to France.
Liang Chen stayed awake for two days and one night in France and didn’t obtain any information about Jing Haohao at the immigration checkpoint.
Although he had traveled to France on business trips before, it wasn’t his home country and he found it extremely difficult to locate someone in such an unfamiliar place.
Based on the private messages he had seen between Jing Haohao and Shen Liangnian, he knew she wanted to visit the Eiffel Tower in France, take a night cruise on the Seine river, and visit Fifth Avenue. He frequented these three places, hoping for a chance to run into Jing Haohao.
In the end, absent of any news about Jing Haohao, he asked Miss Su to book a return flight to Jiangshan City.
By the time Liang Chen arrived in Jiangshan City, it was one o’clock in the morning. After several days without sleep, he looked extremely gaunt. He got into the driver’s car and told him to “head to the house on Half Mountain” before closing his eyes.
At this point, it was already May 23rd, two days after the day he was originally supposed to marry Jing Haohao.
Upon arriving at the villa, Liang Chen saw the red “Double Happiness” characters plastered everywhere.
Nanny Lin heard the car and came out even though she hadn’t gone to bed yet. When she saw Liang Chen, in his ragged clothes stained with dried, blackened blood, and his unshaven face, she was startled. “Mr. Chen, what in the world happened to you?” she asked.
Liang Chen didn’t utter a word. He gestured for Nanny Lin to leave and headed alone to the second floor.
He stood at the bedroom door for a while before finally entering the code and stepping inside.
The room was pitch black and quiet. He could faintly feel the air conditioning blowing out a silent stream of cool air. In the light from the hallway, Liang Chen clearly saw the neat and undisturbed bedding on the enormous bed.
He stood at the door for a long while before he reached out to turn on the light. Then, he undressed and entered the bathroom.
After showering, Liang Chen put on fresh clothes, vaguely feeling a tingling pain from a wound on his back.
When he first built this villa, he intentionally made his bedroom extremely spacious. With the area large enough to cover an entire apartment, it was like a small house equipped with everything one could need.
Jing Haohao was so petite that she could fit anywhere in the villa. When she was around, he never thought the bedroom was big. Now that she was gone, he found the bedroom suffocatingly large.
