Chapter 315: Shen Yanhui Didn’t See Her
"Looking for Shen Yan to come back?" Pei Xingzhi glanced at her with a somewhat surprised expression, "Now?"
"Yes." Xie Zhaoyuan's reaction was very calm, but his brows were tightly knitted. "Now, I'm going to find her now."
There must be something fishy about Shen Yanhui's disappearance. Xie Zhaoyuan has been thinking more and more that something is wrong these past two days. He must find Shen Yanhui now and ask her for clarification.
"...Okay." Although he somewhat disagreed with Xie Zhaoyuan's approach, Pei Xingzhi did not say anything to stop him.
He could see that Xie Zhaoyuan was very worried about Shen Yanhui. If he didn't take Xie Zhaoyuan with him now, Xie Zhaoyuan would always be uneasy. He didn't want to see Xie Zhaoyuan like this.
"Where does Shen Yanhui live now? Is it still the Shen family?" While the red light was still several dozen seconds long, Pei Xingzhi quickly turned on the navigation.
Xie Zhaoyuan thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "She doesn't live in the Shen family now. She lives in a house she bought herself."
Then he reported the detailed address to Pei Xingzhi.
Pei Xingzhi entered the address into the navigation, and after passing the intersection, he immediately turned right and took Xie Zhaoyuan to find Shen Yanhui.
Shen Yanhui's house was in the city center, and Pei Xingzhi only took ten minutes to drive the car to the gate of the community.
This is an upscale residential area with strict access control. Even though Xie Zhaoyuan told the security guard the house number of Shen Yan's home and the phone number Shen Yan called, the security guard refused to let them in.
They didn't have a door card and couldn't contact Shen Yanhui, so they were blocked outside the community by security guards.
"Why don't we go back first and come back after we contact Shen Yan?" Pei Xingzhi suggested.
"No." Xie Zhaoyuan refused, "I must see Shen Yanhui today."
Pei Xingzhi raised his glasses, looking distressed: "But the security guards won't let us in."
"If he doesn't let us in, then we'll find a way to get in ourselves!" Xie Zhaoyuan was determined to see Shen Yanhui. Even though the security guards kept trying to stop her, she was stubborn and refused to give up.
Pei Xingzhi felt sorry for her persistence, so he held her face and said to her, "Okay, I'll find a way."
Since they couldn't enter the community through the main gate, they found another place to enter.
Pei Xingzhi drove the car away, circled the entire community several times, and actually found a way to get in.
For the convenience of residents, the underground parking lot of this community was built together with the newly opened shopping mall next to it. Pei Xingzhi drove the car into the underground parking garage of the shopping mall, got out of the car and walked to the underground parking lot of the community with Xie Zhaoyuan, and then sneaked in openly.
"This is it." Xie Zhaoyuan stood at the door of Shen Yanhui's house, looked up and checked the house number several times. After confirming that it was correct, she raised her hand and began to knock on the door.
“Knock knock knock—”
"Shen Yanhui, it's me, Xie Zhaoyuan! I'm back to find you!"
“…”
It was quiet inside the door, without any movement.
Xie Zhaoyuan continued knocking and shouting, "Shen Yanhui, it's me! I finally managed to escape from Qin Wushuang's clutches, don't you want to see me?"
“…”
There was no sound from inside the door.
Pei Xingzhi: "She doesn't seem to be at home."
"Impossible!" Xie Zhaoyuan frowned, totally disagreeing with Pei Xingzhi's guess, "Shen Yanhui must be at home! She has no other friends in Yuncheng, and no other place to go. She can only hide at home."
"Hmm?" Pei Xingzhi was a little surprised by these words. "She was born and raised in Yuncheng. How come she doesn't have other friends and places to go?"
"Ayuan, are you getting stuck in a rut?"
"I didn't!" Xie Zhaoyuan denied it harshly, but he had no way to explain his persistence. She couldn't possibly tell Pei Xingzhi that Shen Yanhui was an alien time traveler and was controlled by the system, right?
Pei Xingzhi was the one who least believed in these things.
"...Anyway, I'm sure that Shen Yanhui must be hiding at home." She bit her lip, raised her hand and continued to knock on the door.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
“Bang, bang, bang!”
The door panel kept shaking as she banged on it. Fortunately, the house that Shen Yan returned to had one household per floor, so even if she made such a loud noise, she would not disturb others.
"Shen Yanhui, I know you are at home, stop hiding and open the door for me!"
"What happened to you? Even if you can't tell anyone else, you should tell me! I'm the only one in this world who can understand you! Why are you hiding it from me?"
"Shen Yanhui, did you hear what I said? Do you still consider me a friend?"
"Shen Yanhui! Open the door!"
"..." There was no response from outside the door, and it seemed that Shen Yanhui was really not at home.
Xie Zhaoyuan's patience was exhausted by silence again and again. She knocked on the door a few last times, and when Shen Yanhui still didn't open it, she simply kicked the door a few times.
"Shen Yanhui, what the hell are you doing? It's fine if you lose contact with others, but why are you doing it with me? Am I not your friend? Don't you need my forgiveness?"
"I've been kidnapped for more than half a month. Now that I've finally escaped, you refuse to even see me. What do you want to do? Do you want to be alone forever without any love?"
“……”It was as quiet inside the door as usual.
"Ayuan!" Pei Xingzhi raised his hand and grabbed Xie Zhaoyuan's shoulder, forcing her to look at him. "Calm down, don't be anxious. Let's slowly look for Shen Yan, okay?"
"…Not good." Xie Zhaoyuan brushed his hand away, his eyes red, "I must find Shen Yanhui, I must find him!"
"Why?" Pei Xingzhi really couldn't figure it out. He reached out to wipe away the tears hanging from the corners of Xie Zhaoyuan's eyes, and the look he gave Xie Zhaoyuan was already suspicious: "Ayuan, why are you suddenly so anxious to find Shen Yanhui? Do you know what happened to Shen Yanhui?"
"..." Xie Zhaoyuan avoided the gaze and did not answer.
She took a deep breath and managed to calm herself down. She regained her patience, tapped the door a few times, and said to Shen Yanhui inside the door in a pleading tone: "Shen Yanhui, please open the door and see me. You can tell me whatever happened."
“…”
The answer she got was still deathly silence.
She was unwilling to accept this and continued, "Did that bastard mess with you again? You can't earn any favor points, so it's making things difficult for you again, right?"
"Don't be afraid, call it out for me, or I'll beat it to death!"
“…”
She had already shouted everything she could, but Shen Yanhui just refused to pay attention to her.
Her tense pride instantly dissipated and her eyes became a little dazed.
"Ayuan!" Pei Xingzhi hugged her, gasping for air in pain, "Can you please calm down? Even if Shen Yanhui is really hiding at home, if she is determined not to see you, you won't get a response from her even if you smash the door today."
"Be good, let's calm down first and think of other ways, okay?"
Xie Zhaoyuan shook his head: "... Pei Xingzhi, we may have no other way."
