Chapter 157 Looking for Jiang Chi

"Lu Yuanze, you are simply an asshole. You are not worthy of someone as good as our Xiao Chi. You should be single for the rest of your life."

After Shen Lubai finished speaking, he wanted to rush up and hit him, but was stopped by Huo Ting.

"My dear, calm down for a moment. Let's check the surrounding surveillance first."

Huo Ting held Shen Lubai in his arms and patted him gently on the back to comfort him.

"Yes, let's go to the property management to check the surveillance."

After that, Shen Lubai took Huo Ting to the door.

Lu Yuanze also followed them.

The surveillance footage showed that Jiang Chi left at dawn and never returned.

Finally, they could only seek help from the police.

After searching for a day and a night, Jiang Chi was finally found at the train station.

They went to the train station and checked Jiang Chi's information with the staff. He bought a ticket to Chang'an Town.

"What is Xiao Chi doing here?"

Shen Lubai didn't know that Jiang Chi's hometown was in Chang'an Town, but Lu Yuanze knew it.

He had been there once before when he sent Grandpa Jiang back home.

"Jiang Chi's home is in Chang'an Town. I've been there and I know how to get there."

Chang'an Town is a very remote place, with no airport and no high-speed rail.

There are only green trains, and they are not direct. You have to change two or three trains when you get there.

Jiang Chi returned home in the middle of the night, something must have happened at home.

After they knew that Jiang Chi had returned to his hometown, they also drove there.

Only after they knew Jiang Chi's whereabouts did they feel relieved.

Shen Lubai couldn't drive, so Huo Ting and Shen Lubai took turns driving and arrived at Jiang Chi's hometown at the fastest speed.

It was Shen Lubai's first time to see such a shabby town, with small buildings made of red bricks on both sides of the road.

The roadside is also full of potholes, making it difficult to walk on, and the roads are particularly small and winding.

Shen Lubai, who had never suffered from motion sickness before, suffered from motion sickness for the first time.

I vomited several times in the car.

After arriving at the destination, I felt a little weak.

Their car attracted a lot of attention in the town.

But they didn't pay too much attention.

Huo Ting originally wanted Shen Lubai to rest in the car, but he refused.

Jiang Chi's house was a bit remote, so they couldn't drive their car in and had to park it on the side of the road and walk in.

Shen Lubai looked at the things around him, looking here and there. At this moment, he seemed like a man who had never seen the world.

I am amazed by everything here.

"arrive."

Lu Yuanze stopped and pointed to the house in front and said, "This is Jiang Chi's house."

It was similar to the houses they had seen along the way, but seemed a little older.

The house is not big and is surrounded by red bricks.

The gate was closed, but they could still see two white lanterns hanging outside the gate.

"Huo Ting, why shouldn't it be red?"

Huo Ting touched Shen Lubai's hair, and he probably guessed what was going on.

Someone in Jiang Chi's family must have died.

Otherwise he wouldn't have come back in the middle of the night.

They knocked on the door, and soon, footsteps were heard from inside, and then the tightly closed door was opened from the inside.

It’s Jiang Chi.

As soon as Shen Lubai saw Jiang Chi, he rushed over immediately.

With red eyes and a pouty mouth, she said, "Xiao Chi, we finally found you. Do you know how worried we were about you these past two days? We almost thought something had happened to you."

When Jiang Chi saw them, there was a flash of surprise in his eyes. He never expected Shen Lubai to come.

He patted Shen Lubai on the back and said, "I'm such a grown-up, what can happen to me? I see you're fine."

Jiang Chi asked them to come in first. Lu Yuanze wanted to talk to Jiang Chi. He wanted to ask Jiang Chi why he didn't answer his call.

But in the end he suddenly found that he couldn't speak at all.

And a sense of guilt suddenly flashed through my heart.

Only when he saw that Jiang Chi was fine did he feel relieved.

"Xiao Chi, you look so haggard. Did Lu Yuanze bully you? Come on, let me beat him up for you."

After Shen Lubai finished speaking, he turned around and glared at Lu Yuanze who was following behind him.

Knowing that he was wrong, Lu Yuanze did not refute it.

He actually hoped that Jiang Chi would scold him, but Jiang Chi hadn't said a word to him since he entered the yard at the door.

Not even a glance stayed on him.

"By the way, where is Grandpa Jiang? Isn't he at home? Why can't I see him?"

They walked into the living room, which was also very simple, with only a dining table and chairs, and a wooden sofa next to it.

There was a black-and-white photo of Grandpa Jiang hanging in the middle, with two white candles lit next to it.

Shen Lubai and Lu Yuanze paused at the same time.

They looked at Jiang Chi at the same time.

Jiang Chi's eyes were slightly red, but his face was very calm as he said: "Xiao Bai, I don't have a grandfather anymore..."

He no longer has a grandfather or someone who loves him.

Shen Lubai looked at Jiang Chi who was obviously very sad but trying to hold on, his heart suddenly ached and tears flowed instantly, and he hugged Jiang Chi tightly.

"Xiao Chi, if you want to cry, just cry..."

But Jiang Chi didn't cry.

His tears had already dried up long ago, because he knew that no matter how much he cried, no one would comfort him and wipe his tears like his grandfather did.

Lu Yuanze called out "Jiang Chi" and nothing else happened.

Jiang Chi glanced at him and then smiled.

There was a sense of alienation in that smile.

Lu Yuanze panicked instantly. Jiang Chi was clearly right in front of him, but he felt that he was very far away from him.

It seemed as if it would disappear in the next second.

Before he had time to think about this feeling, he was interrupted by Shen Lubai's crying.

Shen Lubai was crying quietly just now, but now he was crying louder and louder, and was getting more and more sad.

Those who don’t know would think that Grandpa Shen Lubai had passed away.

Finally, Jiang Chi and Huo Ting comforted Shen Lubai for a long time before he slowly stopped crying.

At this time, Shen Lubai's eyes were red and his nose was also red from crying.

"Xiao Chi, how did Grandpa Jiang leave? Grandpa Jiang was fine before, how could he just leave like that?"

Jiang Chi poured them a cup of tea, then looked at Grandpa Jiang's photo and said, "Grandpa accidentally fell while working, and he was already in a bad condition when he was found."

That night, he was waiting for Lu Yuanze to come home when he suddenly received a call from a relative, saying that his grandfather was dying and asked him to go back quickly.

Jiang Chi was completely panicked at the time and had no idea what to do.

He looked at the train tickets and found that there were no more tickets available at that time.

So he kept calling Lu Yuanze, begging him to take him back.

He called for a long time, but no one answered.

In the end, he could only wait for the earliest bus in the early morning with his ID card.

But it was still too late when I went back.
