Chapter 458 A Bad Intuition

Shu Wenyuan read the note over and over again, as if he could see Shu Ying writing the words through the note.

It was like when I was a child, lying next to him doing the homework assigned by the girls' school teacher.

Compared to before, Shuying may be less carefree now.

Shu Wenyuan sighed softly.

Regardless, he was already very happy to see Shu Ying safe and sound.

When the family tragedy struck, his biggest worry was his daughter, and he always felt he had let Shuying down.

Now I can finally relax.

On the other side, Shu Ying walked back with her cup in her hand, unable to contain her joy.

Today I not only saw my dad, but I also finally got in touch with him.

She finally felt relieved.

Now all that's left is to find the mother, and then the family can be reunited.

Shu Ying glanced out the window and felt that the sky seemed a bit brighter today.

She couldn't wait to share the good news with Xie Zhiyan, but unfortunately it wasn't very convenient outside, so she would have to wait until she got back.

Time flew by and it was evening.

The dinner began according to the schedule.

The dinner was essentially a place for free socializing and exchanging ideas. Shu Ying was busy communicating and translating throughout the event, constantly switching between the two languages ​​in her mind.

Although it was easier to translate than carefully worded speeches at a conference, the high density of conversations, coupled with the need to translate two languages ​​simultaneously, made Shu Ying feel like her brain was a rapidly running machine, about to be overloaded.

Having finally gotten a moment to rest, Shu Ying quickly asked for a glass of water.

As Shu Ying drank, she habitually glanced outside the banquet hall, wanting to see Xie Zhiyan's work status.

Every time she saw him, she felt a little more at ease.

Xie Zhiyan was mainly responsible for the safety of the people inside the venue. Logically speaking, he should have been standing around the entrance, in a position that was easy to see.

However, when Shu Ying looked around, she didn't see anyone, nor did she find anyone in the surrounding area.

Not only was Xie Zhiyan absent, but Ye Zhanying and Qi Zecheng were also gone. Their original positions were now being guarded by other unfamiliar comrades.

Why did it suddenly turn out like this? Could something have happened again?

Shu Ying was curious when she turned her head and saw Director Wu walking over in a hurry.

"director……"

Director Wu didn't even wait for Shu Ying to finish speaking before he hurriedly waved to her.

"Comrade Shuying, come here quickly!"

After saying that, Director Wu quickly turned around and led the way for her.

Shu Ying rarely saw the usually composed Director Wu so nervous and anxious, so she didn't dare to think too much and quickly followed after him.

Director Wu led Shu Ying to the second floor of the banquet hall.

Realizing he hadn't had a chance to explain the situation to Shu Ying, he slowed his pace and waited for her to catch up, explaining as he walked.

“We just caught someone, but as you know, my main focus isn’t English, so we can’t communicate. The other comrades are all working in their own positions and can’t leave. I see you happen to be free, so I can only ask you for help.”

"This person speaks English, but he only said a few words at first and then refused to communicate. No matter how we gestured or tried to communicate, he ignored us. We really had no other choice."

Shu Ying understood and nodded.

Just as I was mentally preparing myself, I turned a corner and looked up, and unexpectedly saw Du Chenzhou, Lusca, and Howard standing at the door.

Upon hearing the sound, all three of them raised their heads simultaneously.

Upon seeing that it was Shu Ying, Lusca and Howard had expressions of relief, and greeted Shu Ying with big smiles.

Du Chenzhou, however, looked at Shu Ying with some concern.

Shu Ying ignored his expression and was about to go inside when Du Chenzhou grabbed her arm.

Du Chenzhou said in a deep voice, "Ying...Shu Ying, you'd better not go in."

"I suspect that the person inside might be connected to the female officer who threatened me. I... have a bad feeling about this."

Although he may never be able to be with Shuying in this lifetime, she is the girl he has liked since childhood, and he still doesn't want Shuying to be in danger.

The door was ajar, and Shu Ying looked away from Du Chenzhou and peeked inside.

Through the crack in the door, she could see Xie Zhiyan, Qi Zecheng, and Ye Zhanying inside, their backs to her.

Opposite them stood a foreigner with a serious expression.

This man was very tall and muscular, making the chair look small when he sat there. Coupled with his irritable expression, he looked like a bull holding back its emotions, ready to explode at any moment.

Shu Ying pulled her arm out of Du Chenzhou's grasp and gave him a calm, polite, and distant smile.

"Thank you for reminding me, but it's my job."

After saying that, Shu Ying pushed open the door and went inside under Du Chenzhou's worried gaze.

Xie Zhiyan turned his head and saw that it was Shu Ying. He frowned and a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.

Shu Ying knew what he wanted to say and smiled helplessly.

“My colleagues are all busy, and I’m the only one who has time, so this is something I have to do.”

Helpless, but also afraid that Xie Zhiyan would worry, she smiled at him and lowered her voice.

"I feel at ease with you here, so don't worry."

Xie Zhiyan's brow relaxed upon hearing this, and he looked at Shu Ying with a hint of helplessness.

Shu Ying walked to the chair opposite the foreigner and sat down. Xie Zhiyan immediately followed, standing with his hands behind his back a little in front of Shu Ying's chair, expressionless.

When Qi Zecheng saw Xie Zhiyan standing on the right, he wanted to follow suit and stand on the left.

As soon as he took one foot out, he was almost pushed away by Ye Zhanying.

Ye Zhanying unceremoniously took his place, imitating Xie Zhiyan by standing with his hands behind his back on the left, also puffing out his chest and looking down on everyone.

The two stood on either side of her, like two door gods. Shu Ying felt pressured just looking at them and shook her head with a helpless smile.

Qi Zecheng failed to grab it, and he couldn't continue to compete with Ye Zhanying in front of so many people, so he could only grit his teeth and stand behind Shu Ying.

Director Wu, who had initially been a little worried about Shu Ying's safety, immediately put his mind at ease.

Shu Ying seems safer than him; there's absolutely no need to worry about her.
