"Captain Wen, it's bad! Li Yaotong has disappeared!"
A team member came to report to Wen Lin in a hurry.
Wen Lin's brows suddenly frowned.
"What did you say? How could a person disappear for no reason? Didn't I tell you to keep a close eye on him?"
The team member who came to report quickly explained: "We have indeed been keeping an eye on him, but he has not come out since he went into the restaurant to eat today.
We felt something was wrong so we went in to check, but we didn’t find any trace of him inside.”
Another team member also said: "We have already checked with the owner of the restaurant. After Li Yaotong went in, he never came out again.
He may have left from somewhere else when we were not paying attention."
Wen Lin suddenly became more alert.
Li Yaotong's life has always been very regular. He would not quietly leave the hotel for no reason.
Although he was reluctant to admit it, the only reasonable explanation was that Li Yaotong discovered something and then ran away.
Such speculation made Wen Lin feel uneasy. This Li Yaotong was very dangerous and alert.
They were already so careful, but Li Yaotong still discovered the clues.
What will he do next? Wen Lin was worried, and the person he was most worried about was Mu Wanwan.
In her previous life, Mu Wanwan died from Li Yaotong's revenge. What about this life? Will Li Yaotong target Mu Wanwan again?
"Let's go back quickly and report the situation to the political commissar first."
They absolutely cannot just sit there and wait for death, otherwise they will not know what Li Yaotong will do next.
He must have a purpose in investing in the factory where they are based, and he may not have given up yet.
If they were just suspicious before, then the fact that Li Yaotong escaped secretly had already proved that there was really something wrong with him.
They also have to report this matter to their superiors and cannot waste any more time. They must at least find this person first.
Wen Lin quickly rushed back with his men.
After Wan Guoqiang learned about the situation, he also took it very seriously and immediately reported it to his superiors together with Wen Lin.
The higher-ups have issued a wanted notice for Li Yaotong and are conducting a comprehensive search for this person.
On the way back, Wen Lin looked at Wan Guoqiang and said, "Political Commissar, I would like to ask you for some more leave."
"What's wrong?"
This is the time when there is a mission, why does Wen Lin want to ask for leave?
"I'm worried that Li Yaotong will find out that our surveillance of him is related to Wanwan, and I'm afraid he will do something bad to Wanwan, so I want to go to Wanwan to protect her.
If Li Yaotong really goes to look for her, I can catch him in the first place."
Wan Guoqiang pondered for a while and finally nodded in agreement.
"You're right. Li Yaotong doesn't have much contact with other people. If he finds out he's being watched, he'll definitely be suspicious, and he'll probably suspect Wanwan.
What's more, Wanwan was a military dependent before and is familiar with our internal situation. Li Yaotong might target her, so it would be safer if you go and protect Wanwan closely.
I will also have people protect the other military dependents in our brigade. We must not give Li Yaotong any chance. "
"yes!"
Wen Lin did not hesitate any longer. He went back, packed his things, and then boarded the train to Mu Wanwan's hometown.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the train is crowded.
Train tickets were not easy to buy, so Wen Lin asked someone to help him buy a seat ticket.
As the train headed south, from morning to evening, Wen Lin finally arrived at the village where Mu Wanwan lived.
The people in the village were gossipy by nature, and when they saw Wen Lin, almost everyone's eyes fell on him.
"Isn't he Mu Wanwan's ex-husband? Why is he here?"
"I heard that these two have been divorced for a while, why are they still entangled?"
"I say you are really brainless, with Wen Lin's conditions, how could ordinary people be willing to let go?
It was Mu Wanwan who chased her to Beijing in the first place. She never looked down on country girls, so maybe she was the one who filed for divorce first!
I just don’t know what means the girl from the Mu family used to hook that person again! "
"It's enough that she's beautiful!"
The women in the village were a little jealous, after all, Wen Lin was very well off.
Mu Wanwan was able to stay in the city thanks to the Wen family, and she may not have gained much benefit from the Wen family!
Wen Lin naturally heard these discussions.
According to his personality, he would disdain to explain to these outsiders, but this concerns Mu Wanwan's reputation, and he doesn't want Mu Wanwan to be talked about like this.
He walked up to those people and said coldly, "I made Wanwan angry and that's why she divorced me. I pursued her for a long time but she refused to forgive me.
Dear aunts, if you see Wanwan, please say a few good words for me. I would like to thank you here in advance. "
Upon hearing this, the women felt a little embarrassed, but still nodded in agreement.
Only after they saw Wen Lin walk away did they start talking again.
No one knew how Mu Wanwan was lucky enough to be able to be with such an outstanding man, and to make him so devoted that he followed her here, which made them even more jealous.
——
"Wanwan, come out quickly, I've already prepared dinner, all of your favorite dishes!"
Wang Xiuhua shouted loudly, with unconcealable joy in her tone.
She was of course the happiest when her daughter came back. And this time Mu Wanwan would stay at home for a while before going back.
Wang Xiuhua tried different ways to make delicious food, hoping to fatten up her daughter.
Mu Wanwan walked out of the room. Just as she was about to sit down at the dining table, she heard a knock on the door.
"Here I am, brother, why did you come back so soon..."
Mu Wanwan thought that it was Mu Qing who had gone out and came back, but when she saw clearly the person standing in front of the door, she froze in place for a moment and didn't say the rest of the words.
Wen Lin was holding a lot of things in his hands and had a faint smile on his face.
"Wanwan, I'm here to give you a New Year gift."
"Our family doesn't need your New Year gifts, go back to where you came from!"
Mu Wanwan had never expected Wen Lin to appear here. She was about to close the door as she spoke.
Wen Lin quickly stretched out an arm to block the door from closing.
"Don't close the door yet! Wanwan, I'm here to protect you."
"Protect me? I don't even need your protection."
Mu Wanwan wanted to reach out and push the person out.
"Wanwan, what's wrong? Who is here?"
Wang Xiuhua heard the noise and walked towards the door.
Wen Lin hurriedly shouted, "Aunt, it's me, I'm here to give you a New Year gift.
The New Year is coming soon, I came to see you.”
As soon as she saw it was Wen Lin, Wang Xiuhua's expression changed. Naturally, she had something against Wen Lin.
But the last time their old man was hospitalized, Wen Lin helped a lot. She couldn't just not give him a good face. She should at least be polite.
