In the spacious office, Huo Jian Sheng sat upright on the sofa chair. His tall figure was clad in a meticulously tailored shirt and trousers, exuding an air of superiority.
"Huo, we've been tailing Huang De Han for the past few days. The police are currently searching for him. Should we give them some information?" private detective Ah Wei inquired.
"Not for now."
He wanted to consult Li Man's opinion.
"Alright, so should we continue monitoring him?" Ah Wei asked again.
Huo Jian Sheng nodded and asked, "Where is he now?"
"He's currently wandering on the streets. Last night, he slept in the park and got his wallet and phone stolen by a homeless person. He's practically penniless now."
Huo Jian Sheng tapped his slender fingers lightly on the desk, seemingly lost in thought. After a moment, he said, "Keep an eye on him and don't let him die easily."
"Understood."
"Alright, you can go back now. Let me know if there's anything."
"Okay."
Ah Wei acknowledged and left the room.
Huo Jian Sheng picked up his phone and called Li Man.
But Li Man's phone was switched off.
...
As soon as Li Man got off the plane, her phone started ringing.
Seeing that it was Huo Jian Sheng calling, Li Man hurriedly answered, "Huo Jian Sheng, what's the matter?"
"What's wrong? Why was your phone switched off all the time?" Huo Jian Sheng asked anxiously, his tone filled with concern. He had been unable to reach Li Man earlier, and he was so worried that he almost booked a flight to find her.
"I've returned to Shencheng," Li Man replied.
"You're back? Did you see the news? Do your parents know?" Huo Jian Sheng bombarded her with questions.
"My mom knows, but my dad doesn't. We're keeping it from him so he won't worry."
"Did your mom... scold you?" Huo Jian Sheng asked, filled with worry.
"No, I've talked to her about it."
"Then did you come back because of Huang De Han?"
"No, I came back because I'm worried about my daughter. Huang De Han ran away, and I can't leave her alone here."
"Where are you now? Have you reached home?"
"No, I just got off the plane."
"Then wait for me. I'll come to pick you up. There's something I want to talk to you about."
"What is it?"
"I'll tell you when I get there."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Li Man found a random spot at the airport and sat down, waiting for Huo Jian Sheng.
She returned without any luggage, empty-handed.
Over half an hour later, Huo Jian Sheng arrived. He was dressed in a white shirt and black trousers, standing out in the crowd, especially with his long legs, making him tall and charming.
He scanned the crowd, searching for Li Man's figure. Li Man quickly stood up and softly called out, "Huo Jian Sheng, I'm here."
"Sorry for keeping you waiting. Are you hungry? Let me treat you to a meal," Huo Jian Sheng walked over quickly, his voice laced with a hint of apology.
Li Man smiled and said, "If anyone should treat, it should be me. I owe you so many meals."
"Huo Jian Sheng smiled, pursing his lips. 'Sure, then you can treat me today.'
'No problem, just a small gesture,' Li Man replied.
The two of them walked out of the airport side by side, chatting and laughing.
When they got into the car, Huo Jian Sheng chivalrously opened the passenger door for Li Man.
'Thank you!' she said politely and got into the car.
After the car left the airport, Li Man asked, 'What did you want to tell me just now?'
Huo Jian Sheng gripped the steering wheel, looking straight ahead. 'I know where Huang De Han is. Do you want to hand him over to the police?'"
