Chapter 102 Lin Shutang disappears
The two of them were sitting next to the window, and from where Lin Shutang was standing, he could have a clear view of the scene at the table.
Li Yansheng leaned back, and they seemed to be having a good chat. Lin Shutang knew Li Yansheng very well. Outside, he would only sit like this when he was relaxed.
She took out her phone and called Li Yansheng again, but she didn't see him look down at his phone. It seemed like he was really serious about this meeting.
Lin Shutang called his assistant again, but no one answered. Suddenly, she didn't want to ask those questions anymore and turned away.
After returning to the hotel, Lin Shutang turned off his cell phone, took out the old cell phone that he hadn't used for a long time from his suitcase, and booked a flight for himself to a certain place in two days.
Before leaving, Lin Shutang went to several famous scenic spots to check in.
The top of Victoria Peak is indeed a place full of prosperity.
Kennedy Town's harbor is beautiful, but when she went there, many people were checking in. Lin Shutang asked a passerby to take a photo, but the moment the shutter was pressed, she was bumped by the person behind her, stumbling and nearly falling.
The photographer was very enthusiastic and showed her the photos he had just taken: "I didn't capture your face, but I think it looks pretty good. If you want to take a picture of your face, I can take a few more for you."
Lin Shutang took a look and was impressed. It was indeed a good photo. Only the profile was visible, partially obscured by hair, but the moment of panic and disorientation was perfectly captured. It was a rare, emotionally charged photo, and it seemed perfectly suited for use as a book insert in a collection of youth trauma literature.
Lin Shutang was amused by his own idea and hooked his hair: "No need, I like it too, thank you."
For some photos, one is enough.
At night, she stood at the Victoria Harbour that she often saw on her video apps. The lights were just coming on, and the sparkling glitter was reflected on the sea. She could see several buildings around it, like knights guarding a shining pearl.
However, Lin Shutang could not feel the prosperity and romance that others talked about. He only felt that the sea breeze was wet, cold, and extremely salty.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Lin Shutang boarded the plane.
Li Yansheng received a call from Jiang Qinyuan on the fourth day after Lin Shutang left Gangcheng.
Four days ago, she called Lin Shutang, but the phone kept saying it was turned off. She initially thought her phone was out of battery, so she didn't take it seriously.
After she called for four consecutive days but her phone was turned off, she realized something was wrong.
She recalled the scene before Lin Shutang left, and finally she noticed something unusual.
That day, when she mentioned Li Yansheng, there seemed to be a different emotion in her eyes than before. It was hard to describe what the feeling was, but it was just a faint, unconcealable depression.
Later, when she saw the news of Shangli Group's marriage on her mobile phone, she instantly understood why Lin Shutang was acting abnormally.
Jiang Qinyuan called Lin Shutang several more times, but still no one answered, so she called Li Yansheng instead. But to her dismay, Li Yansheng's number couldn't be reached either.
In the end, Jiang Qinyuan got Li Yansheng's other number through her elder brother.
Her eldest brother said, "This number is used exclusively for his work in Hong Kong. He might not answer it if it's an unfamiliar number."
Jiang Qinyuan didn't care about anything else and tried to fight him.
The moment the call was connected, he forgot all the mental preparation he had made beforehand and cursed, "Li Yansheng, you damn scumbag."
Li Yansheng didn't understand what was going on, but he recognized the other party's voice and didn't hang up.
"You bastard, you're playing with people's feelings and not even answering the phone. Who are you trying to make sad for you? You know you've let her down, but you didn't even dare to mention the breakup to her face? You coward, it's all your fault. Shutang is missing, did you know that?"
