Where Did She Go?

After listening to Xu Lin's words, the middle-aged man stared at him as if he were a fool. "People in our village all have the surname Bai."

Xu Lin continued to ask calmly, undeterred, "Uncle, do you happen to know a girl named Bai An'ning?"

The middle-aged man shook his head. "I don't know her. What are her parents' names?"

Yun Qingqing furrowed her brow. She knew the address of Bai An'ning's hometown but had no idea about the names of Bai An'ning's parents.

With wide eyes, she watched as Xu Lin handed a piece of paper to the man. "These are her parents' names. Could you please take a look and see if you recognize them?"

In her mind, Yun Qingqing applauded Xu Lin for his meticulous preparation. She felt a bit inadequate in comparison. It was no wonder Sheng Ting had appointed Xu Lin as his special assistant.

The man holding the fishing rod didn't take the paper. Instead, he leaned in to read it from Xu Lin's hand carefully.
