Unfortunately, he couldn't get through to the professor.
Resigned, he called Qiao Fei.
"Brother-in-law."
"Fei, where are you?"
"Yunnan."
Qin Chu: "…"
"You're still there?"
"Yan is wounded, and I don't think she would've been able to get far from here. I decided to start from the position where she was wounded and expand the searching area little by little."
"You found no clues?"
"No." Qiao Fei sounded depressed.
"Can you get in touch with the professor?"
"No. I don't know why."
"It seems… the professor is in trouble, too," Qin Chu analyzed.
"Do you need me to do something for you?"
"No. Be careful."
"I will."
Hanging up, Qin Chu slept in the study.
On the next morning when they had breakfast, they didn't see Huo Mian.
"Chu, where's Mian?" Qin Chu's mother didn't know they slept in separate rooms.
"She should be in the bedroom. I'll go and check up on her."
