CHAPTER 354: CHAPTER 354: STROLLING THROUGH THE ANCIENT CITY

Lin Cong discussed with his wife as they went out, "Wife, do you think I should ask our Sister Yan if we should also go to Sea City to work? No matter what we do... Anyway, I don’t want to stay at home, I’m bored!"

His wife, Li Yan, nodded in agreement, "Sure, we can go together when the time comes, no matter what we do, I’ll go with you."

Lin Cong: "Alright, I’ll send Sister Yan a message to ask her in a bit."

Li Yan thought for a moment, "Or we could ask our sister first. Isn’t she saying that the factory needs people? Sister Yan’s side... with what Mom said, I feel..."

Lin Cong was silent for a while, "Okay, I’ll ask our sister first. It doesn’t matter where we go, I just don’t want to stay at home!"

Lin Cong directly called his own sister. After confirming that the factory needed people, he discussed it with his wife and decided to buy tickets to the State!

If they continued staying at home, they’d probably go crazy.

Lin Xiaoyan knew nothing about Uncle Lin’s family’s affairs.

She was currently enjoying the scenery by a river bend.

Spring had arrived, and everything was a fresh green.

Just a few days ago, everything was still a withered yellow, and suddenly it was as if the earth had been painted with color, very beautiful.

When Lin Xiaoyan saw this river bend, she had Xiao Bo stop for a while to enjoy the scenery.

Nan Xi took some photos of Lin Xiaoyan.

After looking at the photos Nan Xi took, Lin Xiaoyan kept giving her thumbs up.

"Sister Nan, I didn’t expect you to be so good at photography!"

Nan Xi smiled slightly, "I practiced a lot during missions in the past."

Lin Xiaoyan happily looked at the photos just taken, "Sister Nan, if you stop doing this, you could become a photographer!"

Nan Xi paused and laughed, "Maybe I can consider it after I retire."

At this time, Xiao Bo came back. He had seen some people fishing and had gone over to watch them fish.

"There are so many people fishing here, look across, they’re all here to fish!" Xiao Bo pointed across and said.

Lin Xiaoyan and Nan Xi looked over and discovered it was true.

"Let’s go," Lin Xiaoyan said.

The three of them returned to the car. Nan Xi took a look at the map, "Just drive twenty more miles ahead, and we’ll be at the city center. We can eat there and rest here for the night."

"Okay."

The three of them reached the city center and found a restaurant to eat.

Lin Xiaoyan touched her belly, "I feel like I’ve gotten fatter recently."

Nan Xi looked over seriously and nodded, "Seems like it."

Xiao Bo touched his own belly, "I’ve gotten fatter too!"

Lin Xiaoyan and Nan Xi looked at Xiao Bo and nodded in unison, "You’ve really gained weight!"

Hearing them say he had really gained weight, Xiao Bo felt a wave of panic.

"Really? Is it obvious?"

Lin Xiaoyan nodded, "Quite obvious, you didn’t have a belly when you first came, now look at you, you’ve got a belly!"

Xiao Bo pinched his own belly, feeling like crying without tears, "Sigh, life has been too good recently, and I’ve just been sitting in the car, getting out only to rest and eat, no time to exercise."

Lin Xiaoyan nodded in agreement, "We should set aside some time each day to exercise, otherwise, after touring the whole country, we’ll just be big fatties when we return!"

Nan Xi laughed, "Then I’ll call you to exercise every day from now on."

Lin Xiaoyan and Xiao Bo said in unison, "Alright!"

"Did you know, recently people have been going missing!"

"Missing? I haven’t heard about it!"

"You definitely wouldn’t know because the news is sealed off, no one dares to spread it!"

"Why? How many people are missing? Why are those people missing?"

The food was served, and while Lin Xiaoyan and the other two were eating, they overheard two men talking quietly behind them.

Since they were so close, they could hear everything clearly.

The three of them looked up at each other, silently agreeing not to speak and listening carefully to the two men behind them.

"My brother-in-law works in the public security bureau. He called us and said that people have been going missing lately, told us to be careful."

"How do they go missing? Is there a murderer or traffickers? What kind of people are missing?"

The person being asked didn’t expect so many questions. He looked around and said quietly, "Don’t tell anyone, my brother-in-law said that the missing ones are all men, some young, some middle-aged."

"Men?! I thought it was children and women, how can men go missing, are they being taken for their organs?"

"I don’t know, but the higher-ups are sending people to investigate. They don’t want the news to spread, worried about the impact..."

... The two continued eating and chatting about other topics.

After hearing the two men’s conversation, the three continued eating without changing their expressions.

Back in the car, Nan Xi gave directions while Xiao Bo drove to the hotel.

"Let’s stay here for the night!"

The three of them went to their room, sat down, and discussed what the two men had said earlier.

"I feel like what that person said isn’t true. If people are really going missing, there’s no way no news would leak out, right?" Lin Xiaoyan was a bit skeptical.

Nan Xi: "The part about news not getting out might be true. It seems to be a consistent approach everywhere!"

Xiao Bo nodded, "Our family had some incidents before, but they were all kept quiet, and anyone who tried to spread it would get warned."

Speaking of this, Xiao Bo sighed; this is the struggle of the common people against authorities.

Lin Xiaoyan: "If it really is true, we can’t solve it, we’re not detectives!"

Nan Xi and Xiao Bo exchanged a glance and looked at Lin Xiaoyan, saying in unison, "Let’s just go with the flow!"

Lin Xiaoyan was momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter.

The other two also laughed.

After laughing for a while, they each went back to their rooms to rest.

The three of them rested for two hours, then headed out for a walk around the city.

The city is known for its ancient town, attracting many tourists during holidays.

Since it wasn’t a holiday, there weren’t many people, so it was a perfect time to look around.

Along the way, Nan Xi made the most of her photography skills, taking lots of photos for Lin Xiaoyan.

Lin Xiaoyan even got Nan Xi to join her in renting traditional costumes to wear.

With makeup applied and hair styled, wearing traditional clothing and wandering around the ancient town, they truly felt like they had traveled through time.

Lin Xiaoyan sent the photos Nan Xi took to her boyfriend.

He Qi’an received the photos just as he was about to get off work.

He opened the images and looked at his girlfriend’s smiling, vibrant, and beautiful face in the photos, and his heart raced.

He Qi’an suddenly realized he hadn’t seen his girlfriend in a long time.

He enlarged the image, looking at his girlfriend’s face, and sighed silently.

What is it like to have a girlfriend busier than oneself?

Nothing but longing!

No more coming home and just being able to run across and hug and kiss his girlfriend, sigh~

Mao Hong walked over to He Qi’an and noticed he was staring at his phone. She couldn’t resist but glanced at the team leader’s phone.
