On the other end of the phone, Shan Jueshan was very anxious and quickly began to explain.

"I just called her and asked if she was feeling unwell, and she sensed something was wrong and kept refusing to talk about it. I had to tell her that Grandpa wanted her to go back to the old house. But she said she was going to take a plane on a long trip!"

Sheng Xuan frowned and asked, "Where is she going? N country? That's impossible! She asked Ning Bo to book a ticket for her earlier and asked him to find a way to get A-Lu through security."

Shan Jueshan replied, "She said she was going on a long trip with her friends and was about to board the plane. She also said she couldn't continue the call and asked me to tell Grandpa that she would come back to visit him at the old house in a while. She didn't give me a chance to ask any more questions before hanging up."

Sheng Xuan paused slightly as she shifted gears, then said in a low voice, annoyed, "Sister-in-law, she's avoiding us!"

The nurse informed her last night that she could pick up Ah Lü, and she came to pick him up this morning. He followed her over shortly after.

How could she have contacted a plane and was about to leave in less than half an hour?

"It's all my fault, I shouldn't have asked so anxiously." Shan Jueshan felt very guilty. "Alang is so smart, she immediately guessed that we already vaguely knew about her illness. She kept it from us from the beginning... Why did she keep it from us? Is her condition very serious? Oh my god! I'm so worried!"

Sheng Xuan took a slow, deep breath, feeling a tightness and numbness in her chest.

"Sister-in-law, don't panic. I'll contact Aper and ask him to check if she booked the flight at the last minute. Don't worry, I'll definitely find her."

Shan Jueshan choked up: "Okay, then I'll leave it to you. I'm driving to her place now to see if she's hiding there."

Sheng Xuan frowned and said in a low voice, "She won't go back to the suburbs. Since you've driven there, take a good look."

After hanging up hastily, he quickly dialed Ning Po's phone number and pressed dial.

"Hey? Ah-Xuan! Where did you go? We were all looking for you—we were one short for our mahjong game!"

Sheng Xuan hurriedly said, "Ning Lang might be sick and is deliberately hiding it from us. I don't know what she's up to. I can't find her right now. Please contact the airport immediately and check if she has booked a flight to leave Rongcheng."

“Okay!” Ning Po immediately agreed.

"Wait!" Sheng Xuan called out, "Quickly call Brother Qi and tell him to check immediately whether A Lang's car has left Rongcheng, and which direction it left from. Hurry up!"

“Okay!” Ning Po said hurriedly, “Wait for our news.”

Sheng Xuan put down his phone, stepped on the gas, and sped onto the highway, heading quickly towards the airport.

The Ning family has connections in every corner of Rongcheng. If she stayed in Rongcheng, she would be exposed by everyone in less than half a day.

So she will either drive away or fly away.

She was sick and looked so pale; it was impossible for her to drive a long distance.

She's so thoughtful; she couldn't possibly have overlooked these factors, so she'll most likely leave by plane.

Regardless, he had to go to the airport to stop her.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, few people traveled far, and there were very few cars on the highway. He drove very fast and arrived at the suburban airport in just over ten minutes.

Then, he exited the highway and quickly headed towards the airport.

Just then, his phone rang!

—Hello? Xuan! Alang didn't book a plane ticket; her name wasn't on any of the morning or afternoon flights.

Sheng Xuan eased off the accelerator and asked anxiously, "Where's Ning Qi? Still no news from him?"
