She could have stayed in the Penguin Logistics dormitory until the seminar started, but Talina didn't do that.

Whether it's to collect information or to relax, you have to find a reason to go out.

She felt quite embarrassed to stay in that dormitory all the time.

Although Texas and the others, as well as the boss whom they had never met, would not mind, Talina was a boarder after all, so she still had to be more respectful.

Just take it as a way to relax!

"But...where should we go?"

Standing at the intersection, looking at the traffic and crowds coming and going, Talina suddenly became troubled.

The venue of the medical seminar was not open yet, so she couldn't get in even if she went there. She could only wander around the periphery, so the clue of finding Narcissa ended here.

So... let's go find Tallulah's sister first?

Scratching her head, Talina made up her mind.

Compared to places like seminars that have certain gates, schools and hospitals, which are open to the general public, are easier to enter. When the time comes, look for the duty personnel list at the door of each department, and you might be able to find it.

If all else fails, you can always ask the beautiful lady at the front desk. If you're a little sweet-talker, nothing is impossible!

Taking out her cell phone, Talina found all the hospitals and schools in Longmen one by one and wrote them down in her memo. After planning the best route, Talina walked towards the nearest school.

.........

"Old Chen, are you so busy?"

During lunch break, the tall Xingxiong pushed open the door of Chen's office with two cups of coffee and saw Chen working at his desk.

Compared with yesterday, Chen's complexion is obviously much better today. Although the fierceness on his face is still there, it has softened a lot.

"Nothing, just looking for something."

Seeing Xingxiong coming to visit, Chen put away the messy relationship chart on his desk and put it in the drawer, then stood up and cleared a seat for Xingxiong.

"Is it about the child?"

After putting the coffee on Chen's desk, Xingxiong saw the contents of the documents scattered around and quickly guessed what his colleague was busy with.

Chen took the coffee, sipped it, and slumped down in his chair: "Well, I have nothing to do, so I might as well help her out."

"Ok?"

Xingxiong, who was leaning on the table, obviously felt that something was wrong.

In the past, such "small matters" as finding people were directly assigned to new police officers for training. Why did he suddenly take charge of it himself today?

Moreover, Chen’s schedule is usually fully scheduled, and he uses his only lunch break to do this. Does he take it so seriously?

has a problem!

Xingxiong's keen intuition, developed from long-term exposure to danger, allowed him to detect something amiss.

"Old Chen, you're usually so busy, so just let the newcomers do this. It's safe, and it will allow them to get familiar with the streets and alleys of Longmen. It will also help them hone their skills in conducting field visits and investigations. Why do you have to do it all yourself?"

Asking tentatively, Xingxiong secretly observed the reaction of his colleague.

Chen Ling's level of concern for this alliance matter was obviously different from that for other alliance matters, so he arranged for people to go to each wing one by one to inquire about it.

Obviously, the two of them had just met not long ago, but Chen was so "hands-on" that Xingxiong had to be suspicious.

Perhaps it was his concern for his colleague, or perhaps he smelled something different in it that made Xingxiong curious.

Xingxiong, who noticed something was wrong and left early yesterday, did not know the content of the subsequent conversation between Chen and Talina, so she made some mistakes in her judgment of things, which caused an information gap between her and Chen, and she did not know that Chen had agreed to Talina to help find someone.

So in Xingxiong's view, this was simply his colleague's "kindness" in helping him.

"what happened?"

Chen, who was drinking coffee and thinking about something, was disturbed by Xingxiong's curiosity. He looked up at Xingxiong in confusion and said, "There are some problems with this matter. It requires special handling. If a newcomer goes, there will inevitably be mistakes. What's more, whether he can see the person or not is another matter."

Chen rubbed his temples while speaking with considerable trouble.

After realizing last night that this matter might involve someone over there, Chen sent a message to that guy that night, asking him to help ask.

After all, Talina's description was so detailed that it could be easily connected by someone interested. It would be noticed sooner or later anyway, so it would just be a matter of making a report, which was a simple matter.

It would be easier to deal with if we deal with it now and catch the unfaithful person. But if things really get out of hand, with that person's methods, solving the problem is basically a foregone conclusion.

As for whether to solve the problem or solve the person with the problem, Chen feels that the latter is more likely.

after all...

He can do anything!

But when he thought about the identity of Talina that he had found out, Chen suddenly felt relieved.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. How are things going outside?"

Shaking his head, Chen put all these wild thoughts aside and turned to ask about what was happening outside Xingxiong.

"It's almost resolved. I don't know what Chief Wei did, but the noises in the slums suddenly quieted down, and Miss Lin also disappeared, as if she had never appeared."

When talking about work, Xingxiong suddenly became serious and reported the results of the events outside to Chen.

"Tsk!"

With a sigh, Chen did not relax when he heard that the problem had been solved. Instead, he felt the pressure on him increased a little.

Looking at his colleague's expression, Xingxiong asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Lao Chen, the matter has been resolved, right?"

"I know...you go out first, I'll take a look."

Chen waved his hand nonchalantly and ordered them to leave.

Xingxiong also noticed his colleague's fatigue, so he didn't say much. He just told him to get some rest and left.

Leaning back in his seat, Chen looked up at the ceiling. Outside the window beside him was the bustling Longmen Street. Compared to the quiet office, the outside world was obviously much more interesting.

"have a finger in the pie..."

After being in a daze for a long time, Chen suddenly said these words.

This was her own business, she had caused trouble herself, and she should have solved it herself, but that person had smoothed everything over for her without a word.

It's not a pleasant feeling to be watched in the dark.

She didn't need this kind of charity-like help, and she didn't bother to ask him for help. In her plan, this matter would be resolved perfectly in the end.

But before she could make a move, he had already made arrangements.

Chen hated this feeling.

It has always been like this since I was a child.

Going to school, learning skills, studying abroad, and working in China, these things were almost all arranged by him, and his shadow is already everywhere on the trajectory of her life.

Just like a puppet, it moves along a predetermined route.

Even his own birth was caused by him...

This feeling of powerlessness surged in his heart, making Chen feel as if his life had just begun for him.

So she resisted, she chose to fight!

Ignore him, downplay his existence, and try your best not to let him appear in your own world, but this method, which is like a child's angry temper, has no effect on him at all.

He would still call his own name calmly.

Still uses the wooden sword to feed himself moves.

still...

It's her uncle...

Of course Chen knew that he had no ill will towards him, and in fact everything he arranged was the best path at the moment, something that many people would beg for but could not.

But Chen was unwilling to give up. When he thought of his indifferent expression that night, Chen's heart felt a pang of pain.

That calm and composed expression, as if everything was in his hands, made her lose her loved ones, the only relatives she recognized.

anyway...

Chen can't forget it either!

Watching the small and tender arm slip away from my hand, crying and looking at me.

The words that almost gave Chen nightmares all day long were still ringing in his ears...

Why...let go!

Volume 5: Chapter 10: It’s useless...Ah!

"Ah! How could there be none?!"

Squatting on the side of the street, Talina looked at the school gate she had just walked out of not far away, her mind full of confusion.

The time now is almost 3:30 in the afternoon, and ten hours have passed since she left home in the morning.

During these ten hours, she walked and took taxis to all the schools and hospitals in Longmen, but she couldn't find the man with blue hair and the surname Chen.

Even when he was hesitating outside the school, he was treated as a suspicious person by the security guard.

Nearly ten hours of searching had consumed most of Talina's energy, and she was tired.

She had clearly looked for someone according to the conditions Tallulah had set, but she just couldn't find anyone who met the requirements.

If she wasn't worried about being misunderstood, she would have printed some missing person notices and distributed them.

After searching in vain, she had to put the search aside for the time being.

There is no need to rush to find someone. At worst, I can entrust it to Texas and the others. They are the "local bosses" here and should be able to find the person much faster than I can.

As for Chen, who communicated with her last night...

To be honest, Talina didn't take her words to heart at all.

He is a high-ranking inspector, and he has nothing better to do than to take care of such a trivial matter of his own?

It's not a missing person, and it has nothing to do with her.

"Let's go eat first... I'm hungry..."

Touching her belly, Talina could clearly hear her protests.

Standing up, Talina patted her clothes, brushed off the dust on her body, and walked towards the dormitory.

It was already too late today, and if she continued shopping it would soon be dark. Adhering to Longmen's action policy of not causing trouble, Talina did not plan to go to the commercial street as she had yesterday.

On the way back to the dormitory, Talina bought some food and ate it while walking to make up for the day's consumption.

Suddenly, a Katas appeared in front of Talina and walked straight towards her, overlapping with Talina's route.

Talina took a step to the side, trying to avoid this "head-down tribe", but for some reason, Carters also turned around as if on purpose.

Not surprisingly, the two collided.

The scones that Talina was holding were knocked to the ground, but fortunately the food she brought for Texas and the others was fine.

Talina frowned and was about to say something, but Carters just apologized in a low voice, then lowered his head and quickly left.

"Who are you? So rude!"

Looking at the dusty pancake that had fallen to the ground, Talina could only pick it up helplessly and throw it into the trash can beside her.

Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly realized something was wrong.

That Carters rushed straight towards her as if he had planned it. She had tried to avoid him, but he still hit her.

Isn't this a bit too deliberate?

Thinking of this, Talina reached out and touched her wallet.

"Sure enough...it's empty!"

The bulging wallet in the bag of the sweatshirt was gone, replaced by a neatly cut edge.

Without shouting or doing anything rash, Talina just put the food aside, sent a message to Texas on her cell phone, and turned around to follow him.

The bustling crowd became her best disguise. Talina, who was moving around in the crowd, was far behind the thief.

"Got it, turn on the location."

On the other end of the line, Texas sent back a message.

After turning on the phone's location function as Texas requested, Talina put the phone in her pants.
