Fang Erlan sat down and stared at the man opposite her, feeling a little awkward and confused about his purpose for visiting.

"I haven't contacted Chenyang in a long time, and I can't seem to reach him now. My parents are worried sick about him too. Do you know where he had gone?"

Shaking her head, Fang Erlan answered, "No."
