"Frankly, with the crisis on our heads, I didn't pay much attention to it but now putting things into perspective, something seems definitely off about the whole situation. You don't worry. I will figure it out. I promise," he assured her.
Jia Li gave him a tremulous smile and gave him a tiny grateful nod.
"What do you plan to do now?" he asked.
She shrugged her shoulders and said, "umm, I am not sure. Meeting with your dad was the last thing on my agenda. I have exhausted all other avenues of information as of now. Li Jie had tried reaching out to Chu but she wasn't very forthcoming either. The only thing that I know with surety is that the family isn't in Shanghai. I guess I will go back to London now and wait to hear from you. In the meanwhile, I will reach out to Deng Chung. I had avoided it till now because I didn't want to worry him. But he has always been close to Tang. So his chances of finding something or knowing would be more than mine or Li Jie's."
