Chapter 714: Chapter 93: Healing, Leave
"Don’t be afraid, I’m Li Yan!" He quickly stated his identity before Xiao Xun could convince Xiao Ai to hang up.
"Li Yan? Ah, you’re Mr. Li. Is there anything I can help you with?" It was clear that Xiao Ai’s attitude changed after knowing his identity, and her voice lowered a bit, likely not wanting other roommates to hear.
"I wanted to ask about Xiao Di’s situation. Did she attend school this week?" Li Yan inquired straightforwardly.
Ling Wua hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "She took leave this week, but she hasn’t returned. I don’t know what’s going on. None of us have seen her, and her phone can’t be reached. You can’t contact her either?"
Li Yan frowned. If it were Xiao Xun, she might mischievously give an opposite answer or help Xiao Di lie, but due to vested interests, Ling Wua wouldn’t, nor dare to deceive him, so he believed Xiao Di truly took leave. Moreover, it’s likely Chen Mingying called in the leave; she hasn’t been to school at all!
"Thank you, then. This is my number. Call me if you have news about her."
"Okay, I definitely will."
After hanging up, Li Yan was somewhat distracted while driving. Xiao Di didn’t attend school, so where is she? Why did she suddenly take leave? If it were just that night, even though she’s not very old, she’s completely grown up and mature, and nothing happened then, so it shouldn’t be a physical discomfort. On the contrary, if she were really unwell, she’d make sure to call him first, to prevent him from finding out, fearing he’d worry. That means it must be something related to her family!
Are Yu Hong and Chen Mingying keeping Xiao Di locked up at home?
Not likely, it’s not like they’re feudal landlords. Even if locked at home, she could still contact through the internet.
Thinking it over, Li Yan could only come up with two possibilities: either Xiao Di is being watched, losing her freedom; or she’s agreed to some conditions with her parents, thus can’t contact him!
Chen Mingying is also a major client of Jie Rui. With her security team, watching over Xiao Di wouldn’t be difficult!
Who knows more about the Yu Family’s situation?
Li Yan thought of Ji Yi, but Ji Yi is Yu Hong’s secretary, might not know domestic affairs, and even if he does, may not talk. Next would be...
He continued his drive back and dialed Li Jie’s number.
"What’s up?" Li Jie skipped the pleasantries, directly getting to the point in her usual cool manner.
"Could you do me a favor?"
"What kind of favor?" Li Jie was a bit puzzled. Given their relationship, if it were something ordinary, Li Yan wouldn’t frame it as a favor, suggesting he’s facing some difficulty.
"It’s about Xiao Di. I can’t reach her, and apparently, she hasn’t been to class this week, seems she took a leave. I’m not in a position to show up at her home. Can you contact Zhou Yunfei and help find out about her home situation for me?" Li Yan asked, calming himself to express the issue.
Li Jie pondered for a moment, "That’s not a problem, but... why all of a sudden..." She meant to imply whether it was because Xiao Di discovered something about her and Li Yan, causing her to leave upset and ignore him. If so, she’d feel a bit guilty.
Li Yan didn’t catch her implication, but he didn’t explain either, simply saying, "It’s nothing sudden, just... please help look into it first! I’m really worried."
"Hold on!" Li Jie agreed.
