CHAPTER 218: CHAPTER 218: CLEARLY CARING NOW

In Huo Yanting’s office, his gaze was locked on the phone he had thrown aside in extreme displeasure. Within his deep, brooding eyes, a storm was brewing.

She had just divorced him, and now that woman dared to not answer his calls.

Did she truly think he had boundless patience to play along with her?

The man was furious, furious to the point of wanting to immediately find that woman and torment her all over again.

As he recalled how she bloomed like a seductive rose in front of him last night, his body suddenly heated up.

"Qi Han?" He pressed the landline on his desk.

Hearing the young master’s summons, Qi Han quickly entered the office and respectfully asked, "Young master, is there something you need me to do?"

"Find out for me where that woman is and why she isn’t answering my calls."

"Which woman?" Qi Han was momentarily confused, unsure if he could confirm his guess.

But hadn’t the young master already divorced Miss Lin?

"Lin Banxia!" Huo Yanting’s cold gaze swept across him. "Immediately locate her position. I need to find her."

Qi Han nodded hastily and went to carry out the orders.

At that moment, all major news outlets had become chaotic, reporting that a devastating earthquake had struck C City, more than a hundred kilometers from the capital. The tremors were even felt in the capital region.

It was precisely because of hearing this news that Huo Yanting had been persistently calling Lin Banxia’s phone.

He wasn’t sure why he still felt the need to be concerned about her, but when it came to such natural disasters and catastrophes, he couldn’t set aside worry for her safety.

That was the part that truly troubled him.

That woman had left so heartlessly and without a trace of sentiment, yet he couldn’t stop thinking about her.

After locating Lin Banxia’s position, Qi Han rushed into Huo Yanting’s office, eager to report: "Young master, something strange—according to the location, Miss Lin is currently on a road twenty kilometers west of Licheng."

"Licheng?" Huo Yanting stiffened, abruptly standing up.

"Yes... That is precisely the worst-hit area of the earthquake..." Qi Han glanced at the young master’s instantly darkened expression, too scared to breathe too loudly.

"Why would she go there?" Huo Yanting felt a buzzing in his head. How could that woman have quietly turned up within Licheng’s borders?

"Young master, could it be that Miss Lin went to Licheng for vacation? It’s also considered a popular tourist destination..."

Huo Yanting’s brows furrowed tightly. Could it really be as Qi Han suggested, that after breaking free from him, the woman had gleefully gone to Licheng for a leisure trip, only to end up facing an earthquake?

That heartless, callous woman—serves her right.

"Prepare two helicopters. I’m going to find her." Having just cursed her as deserving this, his next sentence was ready to go after her.

Qi Han was shocked to hear the young master intending to travel to the disaster zone himself, a place that was now utterly chaotic and still prone to aftershocks, and highly dangerous.

"Young master, perhaps we could send a few bodyguards to locate Miss Lin instead..."

"I want to see for myself what fate has befallen her." Huo Yanting replied coldly, his tall figure already heading toward the door. "Hurry up. We leave in ten minutes!"

Listening to the young master’s contradictory words, Qi Han couldn’t help but let out a sigh and a chuckle.

Clearly, he couldn’t let her go, yet he still claimed to want to see Miss Lin’s fate. Ah, young master, when will you ever confront your true feelings?

This stubbornness—don’t you find it exhausting?

Ten minutes later, on the Huo Group’s rooftop helipad, two helicopters rose into the sky.

Huo Yanting’s large hand clenched tighter and tighter. His heart felt stretched to the brink of snapping.
