Mo Roulan could only think of Zhu family when He Jian told her the details of the time when Mo Chen went missing.

Her heart sank more when she imagined what kind of situation her brother must be in if it was really Zhu family who had taken him away.

"What .. you saying?"

She heard He Jian confused voice from the other side.

Mo Roulan's heart sank deeper when she sensed that He Jian's voice was breaking.

She lowered down her phone and found out that the network was going down now.historical

"No, no, no.."

She whispered continuously as she put the phone back on her ear and said immediately

"He Jian..I don't have the network for long. Hear me carefully. Ask mom..she will tell you everything..ask her..are you hearing me?"

"Hello...Lan..."

Mo Roulan just heard these words and then the call was cut.

There was no network now.

She tried again but the call didn't go through.

Frustrated, she kicked on the sandy ground and then stood up from there to search for Mo Chen again.

She just wished that Mo Chen was really there somewhere instead of being in Zhu family's hands.

The forest had carnivore animals but Zhu family was crueler than those animals.

On the other hand, He Jian was also frustrated when he couldn't call Mo Roulan anymore.

"Anything we could find out?"

He asked Chu Feng.

Chu Feng put down his phone and shook his head while saying.

"The network was too weak and for a very short time. We couldn't out find anything boss."

He Jian raked his hand through his hair.

He looked completely annoyed and frustrated with the whole ordeal. Chu Feng couldn't help but try to remember when exactly he had seen his boss like this the last time.

"Chu Feng."

He came out of his trance when he heard his boss's voice.

"You will go on that Africa trip after all of this gets solved."

Chu Feng gulped knowing very well that it was his punishment.

Africa trip..It was more like a business trip..a hellish business trip.

However, he could only nod his head and say obediently.

"Alright, boss."

He Jian's face didn't have any trace of satisfaction seeing his obedience. Instead, he gave him more work

"Find who had come to live in the apartment next to mine in the last few weeks. Investigate that family completely."

Chu Feng frowned in confusion as he didn't understand why his boss was asking him to do such a thing. However, he knew better than to question him at such a time when he was already so annoyed.

So he silently called the people to start the investigation.

Chu Feng walked away but He Jian was still feeling very confused.

He wanted to go inside and search for Mo Roulan. He thought as he looked at the sky. Approximately in an hour, it would be very dark.

How would Lanlan manage there inside the forest!

There were many wild animals inside the forest.

Although the officers told him that there was no need to be afraid, he couldn't stop himself from worrying about her.

But should he really go inside and search for her?

She had refused him very firmly from doing so just a few moments ago. She wanted him to stay out and search for her brother.

He Jian had an intuition that if he didn't listen to her then she would get very angry.

If he left all this on Chu Feng to manage, then he himself didn't believe that they would be able to find Mo Chen earlier.

In simple words, both sides needed his presence.

But he wanted to choose one.

He wanted to choose his Lanlan.

Just when He Jian was trying to decide what he should do, he felt the phone in his hand ringing again. He thought that it was Mo Roulan again so without even glancing at the number he slid the screen to answer the call.

"Lanlan.."

"Woah!"

A loud and surprised voice came from the other side and He Jian frowned recognizing very well who it was on the other side of the phone.

"Zhihan"

"Yes, This is one and only Fang Zhihan..not your Lanlan. Sorry to burst your bubble, Old He."

Fang Zhihan said in a sickly sweet voice.

He Jian pressed his temple and then said

"I will talk to you later."

"Wait!"

Fang Zhihan said hurriedly. There was a frown on his forehead as he asked

"Everything alright? You sound too ..I don't know what to say but I have never heard you talking like this."

He Jian's voice has always been very cold and indifferent. No one would be able to guess what he was feeling from any of his actions or voice. But at this moment, Fang Zhihan thought that he could feel it.

He Jian seemed to be stressed and annoyed by something.

A sigh came from the other side of the phone..again something that he had never seen He Jian doing.

This made Fang Zhihan curious as to what could make him act out of his usual self.

He Jian was also feeling very confused and stressed. He just wanted to see a safe and sound Mo Roulan in front of his eyes however he knew that it was not possible at this moment.

Perhaps this helplessness made him talk to Fang Zhihan more openly.

In the end, he thought of Fang Zhihan as his friend.

The five of them were friends and they had never stepped back from helping each other in their difficult times..especially He Jian.

Regardless of how cold and indifferent he looked, he had always been there for his friends.

Although he created small troubles for Fang Zhihan by postponing the projects from Fang family, Fang Zhihan knew that this was just fun they had as friends.

The strange thing was that they ....his friends had never found any way to do the same for He Jian.

Even when He Jian was looking for Mo Roulan, they had tried but they couldn't find her. It was He Jian who found Mo Roulan in the City H only.

So today when Fang Zhihan knew that He Jian was so stressed, he was very surprised and at the same time very much ready to help.

"Mo Chen is missing. He.."

And then He Jian told Fang Zhihan everything.
