Yuan Heng's face paled slightly, and with trembling hands, he dialed the number for Shan Jueyi.
After a while, he hung up in a panic.
Distracted, he looked up at Sheng Xuan, his eyes filled with anxiety.
“I really don’t know where A-Lang is! On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, she suddenly called me and asked me to send a plane to pick her up immediately. I had a feeling that she was in a hurry, so I turned around and sent someone to fly over.”
Sheng Xuan nodded quickly: "And then? The plane arrived in Y City?"
“Yes.” Yuan Heng explained, “The plane landed directly at the airfield behind my house. I ran out and hugged her, and gave her a red envelope. She smiled and gave me a red envelope in return.”
Sheng Xuan's eyes turned cold, and she said irritably, "Hug what? This can be ignored!"
"No!" Yuan Heng's eyes flickered slightly as he explained, "I haven't hugged her in a long time. I thought she came to visit me, and I was so happy that I hugged her..."
"Alright! Don't do it again next time!" Sheng Xuan interrupted abruptly.
Yuan Heng's devilishly beautiful phoenix eyes widened, and he said in a rough voice, "Can't you just let me finish?! What I meant was—her stomach looks really strange!"
Sheng Xuan finally caught the key point and hurriedly asked, "Stomach? Which part? The stomach?"
“It doesn’t seem like it.” Yuan Heng said in a low voice, stunned. “I hugged her then, and my intuition was that her lower abdomen seemed to be protruding. I didn’t think much of it at the time, assuming it was because her coat was a bit big. But now that you mentioned it, I realize something is really wrong! That feeling—it’s the feeling of a solid bulge, not just the feeling of clothing.”
Sheng Xuan was puzzled and instinctively looked at her stomach.
"Could it be... a tumor in my stomach?"
Yuan Heng's handsome, flawless face furrowed as he explained, "She then told me to find her a new phone and a new SIM card immediately. I asked her if something had happened, and she just smiled and said she...she..."
"What did you say?" Sheng Xuan urged anxiously, "Just say it already!"
Yuan Heng glared at him and said, "She said she's annoyed with you and doesn't want to see you for the time being. She wants to take Ah Lu out for some fresh air during the New Year holiday. If you come looking for her, she'll just kick you out!"
Sheng Xuan frowned in annoyance and buried her head.
"She's lying to you! Dean Shan said she knew about her health problems three or four months ago. She goes to the hospital every two weeks, always wearing a scarf, a hat, and even a mask, trying to hide it from everyone. Even when Sister Shan checked the hospital's surveillance footage, she could only barely recognize her twice. She always goes to the oncology department."
Yuan Heng felt dizzy and his handsome face fell.
"Senior Sister Shan just said we need to find her and bring her back for surgery... Why doesn't she want to have surgery?! And now she's gone missing? Is she trying to drive us crazy?"
Sheng Xuan gave him a push and asked, "Where did she go that day? She hasn't contacted you since?"
Yuan Heng sighed and rubbed his forehead, saying softly, "After she got the new phone and SIM card, she drove off in one of my sports cars. She only said she was going to the south for a while and would come back when she was done. Since that day, there hasn't been a single message from her on WeChat or QQ."
“There’s something else that’s strange.” Sheng Xuan frowned and explained, “I had someone check all her bank cards and one credit card—there were no records of any transactions.”
Logically speaking, a person traveling alone needs accommodation and three meals a day, not to mention that she has a frail little parrot with her, so the living environment must be very particular.
Strangely, she left no record of her spending at all.
Yuan Heng suddenly raised his head, his beautiful eyes wide open.
"I remember now!"
