Two hours had passed already when Mo Roulan reached the City H's borders.
When she got down for the bus, she felt the phone in her hands ringing for the umpteenth time in the last hour.
She sighed as she knew who the person was calling her again and again.
Mo Roulan didn't pick the phone for now.
She, instead walked the way according the boards placed on her way. They signed in which direction she should go to reach the entrance.
A few minutes later, she stopped suddenly and hurriedly hid behind a tree.
As she put her phone on silent and put it inside her bag, she looked at the two women a man talking to officers at the entrance of the forests.
Mo Roulan was sure that they were teachers from Mo Chen's school as they wore some Id cards in their necks just like the one she had seen on Teacher Dong.
Seeing their grim faces, she also knew that they have not found Mo Chen yet.
Mo Roulan could feel her heart sinking inside her chest.
Where could Mo Chen go? He must be there somewhere.
She assured herself.
Biting down on her lips, she wondered how she could enter inside the forests. Those officers would surely not allow her to go inside. If she wanted to go inside, then she would have to go without their notice.
However, just when she was thinking this, she saw another man in a uniform running towards the officer who was talking to the teachers.
Mo Roulan hurriedly changed the places and tried to get closer. She wanted to hear what he had to say. If it was related to Mo Chen then perhaps it could help her in finding him.
However, what she heard was only made her sigh in disappointment.
"Sir, we have been informed that a girl can try to enter the forest. The chief had asked us to tighten the security."
Mo Roulan beat her forehead with one hand.
She knew who has informed them about this.
It must be He Jian's work.
Ah…
Mo Roulan screamed inside her heart in frustration.
For half an hour, Mo Roulan sat at the same place. Her eyes never moved away from the forest entrance the officer was guarding.
The teachers had already left from there.
Mo Roulan didn't hear what the really said to the officer before leaving. She actually didn't care.
What she wanted at this moment was to go inside the forests and search for Mo Chen.
During this half an hour, she felt very scared and helpless. She was losing hope when she could feel the time passing slowly.
She was almost ready to take out her phone and ask He Jian if he found anything about Mo Chen when she saw the officer finally moving away from his place.
'He must have gotten some phone call from a person who was close to him.'
Mo Roulan thought when she saw the officer smiling while talking on the phone.
He finally moved and engrossed in his conversation, he moved towards the booth inside which he sat usually when he gets tired.
This was the only opportunity she had.
Since the officer's back was towards the gate, Mo Roulan immediately stood up from her hiding place and made a run towards the entrance with her bag.
The gates were fortunately open and only a long pipe obstructed the entrance so she just had to jump upon that pipe to go inside.
It seems that they left the gates open because the searching team was still inside.
Mo Roulan didn't stay there for long and went further inside as she was afraid that the officer will notice her presence if she stayed there for too long.
Just at this moment, a big black car stopped outside the forest entrance.
The officer who was happily talking on his phone obviously noticed it because until this moment he had already sat on the chair. So through the window that was made in front of his chair, he could see everything outside.
Seeing the huge car, he hurriedly put down his phone and came out of the booth.
It was Chu Feng who came out of the car first and stopped in front of the officer.
"Officer, have you seen any girl here?"
"No, I have not."
Chu Feng sighed in relief when he heard this and went back towards the car to tell his boss.
However, He Jian had already got out of the car before he could reach the car.
His cold blue eyes looked around as he heard his assistant say
"Boss, Miss Mo has not come here yet."
He Jian didn't say anything in response because he was currently looking at somewhere else. His cold blue eyes stared at something towards the forest.
When he suddenly walked towards the forest entrance, the officer's eyes went wide and he tried to stop him.
"Sir, you can't go inside."
He Jian, however, didn't hear the officer and continued to step forward.
The forest officer felt helpless as he could feel that He Jian was not an ordinary person but he still tried to stop him.
However, when he was about to stop him again, he saw He Jian bending down suddenly and picking up something from the ground.
When He Jian got up, Chu Feng and the officer saw a hairpin in his hand.
"Boss"
Chu Feng called out in confusion.
But He Jian's blue eyes were on the officer as he said coldly
"So you didn't see her here…..then what is her hairpin doing here?"
Chu Feng was stumped and the officer was confused.
He didn't understand what He Jian was saying. No one entered the forest. So he could only say
"Sir, it must belong to some teacher. They were standing here before. Give it to me. I will return it to them."
The officer forwarded his hand to take the hairpin from He Jian's hand. However, He Jian put the hairpin inside his pocket before he could even touch it.
The officer frowned at his rude behavior.
He Jian didn't seem to care what he felt and moved his cold blue eyes to his assistant. Chu Feng shivered and felt guilty under his boss' gaze.
He knew that if his boss thinks that the hairpin belonged to Miss Mo then it must belong to Miss Mo.
That meant….
"Call the chief."
He heard his boss saying.
"I think Lanlan is already inside."
He Jian said as he pressed his temples. His eyes were towards the forest now and they were deathly cold.
Why can't she just trust him to make everything fine!
He could have solved everything.. The only thing she needs to do is stay safe.
