Chapter 654: 654, is Shi Huan in trouble? Chu Er has called the police!
Every 20th of the month is the day to pay off the debt, and this bloody girl really didn’t pay this time around!
The loan sharks, having received no money, came to the Shi Family’s house early in the morning, each brandishing clubs, looking mean and scary. They frightened her old grandmother nearly out of her wits!
Left with no choice, she had to pay off the debt first.
But, oh, how unwilling the old lady was!
The 30 million was the money the old man had left for her to buy her own coffin!
Why the hell did she have to use it to pay off the debt?
She called Shi Huan but couldn’t get through, which annoyed her so much that she didn’t even have her lunch. She hastily took her daughter-in-law with her in a taxi to find Shi Huan and get some answers!
Qian Yulin didn’t dare to speak up for her daughter, she could only advise, “Mom, Huanhuan said last week that she was going abroad, she might have been busy preparing for it these days.”
“Too busy to even answer the phone? This naughty girl is doing it on purpose!”
Qian Yulin: “…”
That was something she really couldn’t understand.
Ever since they last parted in anger at the Shi Family’s house, they hadn’t been able to get in touch with Shi Huan for days.
Could this girl have really gone abroad?
Oh dear, this was Huanhuan’s fault – why didn’t she let them know before leaving?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
She took out her card, swiped it to open the entrance, walked into the building, pressed the lift and direct went to the ninth floor.
She didn’t notice that there was a man following her.
At the door, the old lady started pounding it with her cane, yelling as she pounded: “Open up! Come out now, you damn girl!”
Qian Yulin was fed up.
She quickly looked around. Luckily, today was a workday and presumably, all of their neighbors were at work.
“You damn girl, I know you’re home, stop pretending to be gone! Open the door now!” The old lady was getting tired, but the door wouldn’t move an inch.
Qian Yulin quickly tried to mediate, “Mom, maybe Huanhuan is not at home.”
“So, where did she go then? I can’t reach her on the phone! There’s no one to answer the door! Is she trying to hide from me?” The old lady was furious, so she banged the door again with her cane.
Finally, the man behind them, Chu Xiuhuang couldn’t help but shouted, “Stop the fucking knocking!”
The old lady jumped, she turned around and recognized the man standing there.
“You are…”
“I am Chu Xiuhuang.”
“Mr. Chu!” Qian Yulin was surprised.
They hadn’t seen Chu Xiuhuang for four or five years. The last time they saw him, he was 25, and now he seemed much more mature.
The old lady immediately asked, “Mr. Chu, did Huanhuan really resign her job?”
She hit a sore spot.
Mr. Chu was unhappy and nodded perfunctorily.
“This damn girl, she really quit her job!” The old lady was furious, she nearly burst into a stream of curses, but was quickly restrained by her daughter-in-law.
“Mom, since Huanhuan is not at home, let’s go back.”
“Hmm.”
They had to, although the old lady was not willing at all.
Chu Xiuhuang glanced at the tightly closed door, his phoenix eyes narrowed upon narrowed.
The elevator door opened, and came out an old woman with a badge on her chest. Upon seeing Chu Xiuhuang, she immediately said, “You must be Huanhuan’s boyfriend, right?”
Chu Xiuhuang was taken aback.
The old lady quickly said, “What nonsense are you speaking about? This is my granddaughter’s boss.”
“Oh.” The old woman quickly asked, “When is Huanhuan going to be home? I haven’t seen her for several days.”
Chu Xiuhuang’s brow frowned, “What do you mean?”
The old woman explained, “The entire complex is getting new gas cards and this building is waiting for her. Can’t reach her by phone, and I come to find her every day, but she is nowhere to be seen. Since you are her family, could you help me contact her? If she doesn’t change her gas card soon, she will have to go to the gas company herself later.”
The old lady slapped her thighs, “See, didn’t I tell you? This damn girl didn’t even bother to tell us when she went abroad! No wonder her phone is unreachable, she has left for overseas!”
The old woman: “…”
Chu Xiuhuang also: “…”
She went overseas?
This soon?
This bloody woman!
It seems like she really doesn’t care about him at all.

They got into the elevator.
The old lady tried to strike up a friendly conversation, “Mr. Chu, we really can’t thank you enough for your care of Huanhuan over the years. Our family’s debt, we really owe it all to your help, you are the benefactor of our Shi Family.”
“You should be thanking me.” Chu Xiuhuang was straightforward and unceremoniously said, “Have you paid off the debt yet?”
The old lady said, “Almost, in about half a year, we should be able to pay it all off.”
“Half a year?” Chu Xiuhuang narrowed his eyes, “Didn’t you just sell your old house for 30 million? I have calculated for you, the remaining debt was only 10 million, is your 30 million not enough to pay?”
The old lady was startled.
This Shi Huan!
She actually told Chu Xiuhuang about the private matters of selling the house?
This unfilial daughter!
She had made the old lady lose face in front of the younger generation!
Chu Xiuhuang continued, “Huanhuan was asked to work with me initially to help pay off the debt for the Shi Family. Over the years, she has worked hard and has been both kind and just towards you all! Now that the debt has been paid off, do not bother her with such trivial matters in the future. If I find out that you’re leeching off her again, don’t blame me for being impolite!”
The elevator reached the ground floor and the doors opened. Chu Xiuhuang walked out without looking back.
Tall and long-legged, his silhouette exudes an aura of superiority and nobility.
Madam Shi clutched her chest, almost panting from the shock.
“Mom…”
Just as Qian Yulin was about to speak, a heavy slap landed on her shoulder from the old woman.
“Look what your wonderful daughter has done! She told Chu Xiuhuang about selling the house! Such a disrespectful girl! She’s completely tarnished my reputation!”
“…”

Chu Xiuhuang called Lu Chenyu as soon as he got back into his car.
The call connected quickly.
“Help me check Shi Huan’s exit records.”
“I’m in court.”
“Then check it once you’re done.”
“Ok.”
After hanging up, Chu Xiuhuang felt an uncomfortable surge of anger.
He hadn’t contacted Shi Huan since the day she left his home.
Because at that time, despite his earnest pleas for her not to leave, this woman showed no pity!
He’s a man, and he has dignity!
Who knew this woman could be so heartless.
Not only did she cut off all contact with him for these past days, but she also left the country so quickly!
When did Nancheng’s visa process become so efficient?
Still unwilling to give up, he dialed Shi Huan’s number and, as expected.
“Sorry, the number you have dialed has been switched off, please try again later.”
…
At four in the afternoon, Lu Chenyu finally called back.
Chu Xiuhuang immediately asked, “When did she leave? Which country? Which city?”
“None.”
“What?”
“None.” Lu Chenyu repeated.
“What do you mean by none? Damn it, you cannot even check something so simple? When did you become so useless?”
Lu Chenyu continued calmly, “There are no exit records for her.”
Chu Xiuhuang was momentarily stunned.
“From last Friday to now, within a week, Shi Huan has not left the country.” Lu Chenyu rarely spoke so many words at once.
It took Chu Xiuhuang a while to regain his senses.
There are no exit records.
That means, she’s still in Nancheng.
But where could Shi Huan be?
He hung up immediately and redialed Shi Huan’s number.
The same mechanical woman’s voice answered.
“Sorry, the number you have dialed has been switched off, please try again later.”
Chu Xiuhuang began to sense something was amiss.
She hadn’t left the country, her phone was off, and no one was at home. Could it be…
Was Shi Huan in trouble?

Wellington Primary School.
Tu Youran just picked up Luoluo when her phone rang.
“Minyan, what happened?”
“Youran, can you contact Huanhuan?”
Upon hearing this name, a jolt of alarm shot through Tu Youran, “What happened to Huanhuan?”
“Chu Xiuhuang just called me. He said he can’t reach Huanhuan’s phone and there’s been no one at her house for several days. I also asked my mother, she hasn’t been in contact for several days.”
Tu Youran bit her lip, she was so nervous that her fingers were clasping her clothes tightly. She asked, “Have you asked her friends and colleagues?”
“I don’t know her friends and I’ve called Huangyou. They said she’s been off work for a week, and her phone is always switched off.”
“How could this be?” Tu Youran started to get scared.
Could it be…
Because of the gang rape, had she committed suicide out of shame?
At the thought of this possibility, a sudden surge of terror rose from the bottom of her heart, causing Tu Youran’s pupils to contract rapidly.
“After you asked her to pick up Luoluo that day, haven’t you two been in contact?”
“I don’t know.” Tu Youran tried to steady her voice, “That day, I thought she was busy, so I didn’t ask anymore. I’ve been too busy with work these past few days to contact her.”
“…” Shi Minyan didn’t speak anymore.
“Minyan, could something have happened?” Tu Youran asked weakly.
Shi Minyan sighed, “She has been missing for several days, so Chu Xiuhuang reported it to the police.”
“…Ok.”
After hanging up the call, Tu Youran sat there, her entire body shaking uncontrollably.
