The Domineering Chief Dotes on His Wife

Chapter 592 Where else can she go?

Before driving, Lin Jiaran took out her cell phone and called Lu Jingshen.

Lu Jingshen was in the examination room, and Zuo Nai was keeping his cell phone for him.

Before going to the examination room, Lu Jingshen instructed that if it was Lin Jiaran who called, Zuo Nai could answer the call and convey that he was doing an examination.

Hearing that it was Zuo Nai who answered the call, Lin Jiaran said, "I'm about to drive, just tell him I'm going to the south district."

After ending the call, Lin Jiaran felt her eyelids were twitching. She didn't know what was going on, and she had an inexplicable feeling in her heart that something was about to happen.

Could it be that Xia Xiangru is going to act out some melodramatic plot for her?

Ring ring ring…

Shen Jiayi called.

"Brother Jiayi."

"Xiao Jiaran, Aunt Lan called me and said Fourth Uncle is sick."

"Do you want to go and have a look?"

Shen Jiayi's words dispelled Lin Jiaran's suspicions. It seemed that he was really sick.

"On the way."

"Okay, I'll hang up first as I'm still busy." Hearing the noisy voice and sirens coming from Shen Jiayi's end, Lin Jiaran probably hung up the phone without saying much.

"My wife called just now and she said she was busy driving, so she asked me to tell you that she's going to the southern part of the city." Zuo Nai said as he handed the phone back.

Shen Boren was living in the southern part of the city. Lu Jingshen thought that the reason why Mrs. Lu took the initiative to call him to tell him where she was going was probably because she was afraid that he would think she would leave quietly.

Soon Lu Jingshen frowned, because he remembered what Mrs. Lu said before, that if she wanted to leave one day, she would inform him. Could it be that the phone call just now was to inform him?

When Lu Jingshen was holding the phone and preparing to make a call, he suddenly stopped, remembered what Zuo Nai had just said, and finally exited the call page.

"What was the original message?"

"There's a recorded call!" Zuo Nai replied.

Lu Jingshen quickly clicked his fingers and listened to the phone recording before turning off the screen and holding the phone in his hand, letting Zuo Nai push him to the doctor's office.

"The muscle strain has recovered well and the operation can proceed smoothly. The recovery will be faster and better if the operation is done in advance. If Mr. Lu is not busy, he can be admitted to the hospital today and have the operation tomorrow." The doctor said after reading the report.

Lu Jingshen didn't hear anything the doctor said. He held his phone, the screen turning on and off, staring at the time all the time. After the doctor finished speaking, he let Zuo Nai push him out of the doctor's office.

Finally, I sent a message using his WeChat.

When will you come back?

With a ding-dong sound, Lin Jiaran replied to the message immediately and sent a voice message.

Lu Jingshen turned down the volume before listening to the voice.

【Maybe a little later.】

The voice message was mixed with the sound of car horns. I guess Lin Jiaran replied while waiting for the traffic light.

Lu Jingshen looked at the message, hesitating whether he should reply now. He was also worried that after he replied, Lin Jiaran would be busy reading the message while driving, which would make it unsafe for her to drive.

There was still a minute and a half left at the traffic light. Lin Jiaran made a video call and Lu Jingshen answered it immediately.

"It was picked up pretty quickly!"

"Are you not angry anymore?"

"When did I get angry?"

"I'm not angry. I mean, are you willing to pay attention to me again?"

"Xia Xiangru called and said he was sick. I'll go see him. I have to drive, so I'll hang up first!" Lin Jiaran said and hung up the phone.

She took the initiative to call just now because she didn't want to continue pretending to ignore Lu Jingshen.

A few days ago, she always thought that Lu Jingshen was pretending. After going to the hospital and learning some things, she realized that maybe she had some misunderstandings about Lu Jingshen.

There was a section in the middle of the video that day that was deleted.

Before getting drunk, Lu Jingshen's legs were fine. How could it become serious overnight? The deleted video must have been her kicking him when she was drunk and didn't know who was who.

The reason why he deleted the video was simply because Lu Jingshen understood her personality. If he knew about this, she would feel guilty. He chose to hide it because he didn't want her to feel guilty.

As night falls, the cold wind blows fiercely. In the sky, stars twinkle, as if telling the cold and silence of approaching winter.

The room was warm and softly lit, and there was a sumptuous dinner that had just been prepared on the table.

It was already around eight o'clock in the evening.

After checking the time, Lu Jingshen took out his phone to send a message to ask, but Lin Jiaran didn't reply. He guessed that she was driving and didn't have time to reply.

After waiting patiently until nine o'clock in the evening, Lu Jingshen finally lost his patience and made several calls in a row, but the calls kept ringing but no one was answered.

After calling several times, Lin Jiaran didn't answer the phone, so Lu Jingshen called Shen Boren, but Shen Boren was temporarily unavailable.

Lin Jiaran went to Shen Boren's place. Lu Jingshen was a little worried and afraid that his abrupt visit would cause some conflict. After considering it, he called Shen Jiayi.

I heard that Shen Boren was ill during the day, and now that I had some free time after finishing my work, I received a call from Lu Jingshen, and Shen Jiayi said that he would go to the southern part of the city to take a look.

Arriving at Waterside Garden, the detached villa where Shen Boren lived, Shen Jiayi got out of the car and found that the villa was dark and there were no lights on.

No one answered the call to Lin Jiaran, so I called Shen Boren and he answered.

"Fourth uncle, where are you?"

"I'm in Jincheng."

"Have you returned to Jincheng?"

"I went back to Jincheng two days ago. What's the matter?"

"Auntie Lan called me today and told me that you were sick and wanted to see Xiao Jiaran."

"I'm sick? Why am I sick?"

"Then Xiao Jiaran is not with you?"

Shen Boren was busy with social engagements, and Lin Jiaran's matter was not confirmed yet. In order to avoid making Shen Boren worry, Shen Jiayi did not say anything. After the two hung up the phone, Shen Jiayi called Lu Jingshen to ask about the situation in detail.

"What did you say? He's not sick and he's not in Jincheng?" Lu Jingshen asked doubtfully after hearing Shen Jiayi's words, and he suddenly became worried.

"She shouldn't be here. There are no lights on in the house. I rang the doorbell for several minutes but no one answered the door. I didn't see any cars either." Shen Jiayi was standing at the door of the villa and answering the phone.

After the two talked for a few minutes, Lu Jingshen felt more and more that something was fishy and that something might have happened to Lin Jiaran.

Shen Jiayi climbed in through the iron gate and tried to open it. He found that it was not locked, so he pushed the door open and the light was on.

There was a woman fainted on the ground, her hands and feet tied and her mouth sealed.

"Aunt Lan?"

After shouting twice, there was no response from the person lying on the ground. Shen Jiayi then noticed that there was a mobile phone with a lit screen on the ground, ringing silently, and there was a black bracelet next to it.

It was Lin Jiaran's phone. Shen Jiayi picked up the phone and answered it.

The call that he had made countless times was finally connected. Lu Jingshen's relaxed expression instantly tensed up. The person who answered the phone was not Lin Jiaran.

Shen Jiayi's description confirmed his worst guess: Lin Jiaran was really missing!

Lu Jingshen thought that Lin Jiaran's attitude suddenly changed during the day. Maybe Lin Jiaran was trying to avoid him and let him down, so he asked Lin Qing if Lin Jiaran had looked for her today.

Lin Jiaran asked to keep their visit to the hospital confidential.

"We had dinner together in the afternoon and then she left." Lin Qing made up an excuse.

"Did she say where she was going?"

"She was going to go home, but after receiving a phone call, she went to find her dad."

"Lin Qing, tell me the truth, is she next to you?"

"Didn't I tell you, she went to find her dad!"

"I called to ask, and Shen Boren said he didn't make any calls!"

"Impossible, we were together at the time, and she received a call saying that a woman called her and said that her father was sick. I originally said that I would go with her to see the doctor, but she said that she would go alone and call me if there was anything!"

In order to prove that Lin Jiaran was not around, Lin Qing hung up the video call.

In Ancheng, she would not easily get close to anyone except Xu Hui. She didn't even look for Lin Qing, and Xu Hui was not in Ancheng. Where else could she go?

Lin Qing's confirmation is tantamount to increasing the evidence that Lin Jiaran is more likely to get into trouble.

Lu Jingshen had no choice but to say that something might have happened to Lin Jiaran, and asked Lin Qing where they last separated.

"What did you say? What do you mean something might have happened to my sister?" Lin Qing had just arrived home, and before he even entered the house, Lu Jingshen called to say something might have happened to Lin Jiaran.

"Where did you separate?" Lu Jingshen asked.

Lin Qing then told them where they were separated, and it was near the hospital.

"Did you go to the hospital?"

"We just went to the vicinity of the hospital but didn't go to the hospital. Besides, isn't the point now whether we went to the hospital or not?"

"When did you separate?"

"About three fifty in the afternoon."

Lin Jiaran contacted him around four in the afternoon, which meant that the accident did not happen after she broke up with Lin Qing.
