"sir, there was a report from security department. They saw the girl leaving the mansion just while ago." Butler reported this news while being anxious.
But lu yichen's expression got colder," if she wants to leave, she can leave anytime." Then he left.
He has thought that girl is not someone who will be bounded. At one point she will leave, but after everything, she didn't even inform him , hah , she is really heartless.
When he came down, at this point aunt Zhang has also gotten to know about this matter.
"Sir, I know it's not my place to say but can you deploy the men to search for the girl." Aunt Zhang asked .
"If she wanted to leave, Iam not going to stop her ." He looked at her coldly.
"Sir, I know I am crossing the boundary but it's clearly your words from last night has caused her to leave the house." To this word he became stunned.
Aunt Zhang sighed to his expression," you don't know about girls heart. She was clearly genuine to you yet you harshly reprimanded her. she didn't eat last night, I even saw her crying silently. Today, she watched tv in daze, not once she smiled."
"Iam just afraid of her safety, it is raining heavily and this location is also secluded that it is very dangerous." Aunt Zhang added when she saw his expression changing.
Lu yichen stood up immediately, he called all the bodyguards available, and ordered a search team for Evelyn.
Previously he has thought, she wanted to leave so be it, he will let her. But after aunt Zhang's word, he realized the gravity of situation. He had forgotten that it was raining heavily and also this is mountain area. However the capable girl is, if she encounter wild animals, she might be in danger. He has been blinded by his anger which cause a delay.
Now, he can only pray for the girl to be safe. It has already been more than an hour. The rain is getting heavier and heavier and as if that was not enough, the wind is stronger than ever.
He got into the car, and drove the car himself. Liam was also there sitting in the passenger seat. Liam has just came out of the shower when his boss gave the search mission for that girl. And the thing is, he himself is taking part in this.
Liam looked at Lu yichen, who was driving the car at a high speed, looking both sides of the road. His boss was clearly worried, worried for the girl he has met for less than ten days. He was having complex feeling about this situation, but as a capable assistant , even if he didn't like it, he will do his best to find the girl since it is his Boss's order.
Lu yichen drove all the way, when he reached the highway but still he didn't find the girl. "Leon, search the cctv footage from the highway, check which direction she went." He gave the order still driving to look for her. Although it's highway, there are still less vehicle because of winds. Those who are there on the road, either because of emergency or they have been stuck.
After 30 minutes, he looked along the way until he reach the city, but he didn't find her. The girl was walking by herself, she couldn't go this far. There are barely taxi, the possibility of taking lift is also minimum. Just then he got call from Leon.
"Boss, the girl Haven't reached the highway. When I checked her last location it was still in that cctv footage near the mansion, she must still be on the mountain." Leon reported.
Lu yichen without waisting a second turn the car again to look in the mountain. " Search the mountain. Go deeper if you need, the girl hasn't left the mountain." He gave the order to his men through Bluetooth.
By this time, he was sure, she is not on the road. That means she must be stuck on some place depper in mountain. But that option is even more dangerous, as there are chances of encountering wild animals.
On the way he saw his mens searching, when Liam interrupted him, "boss, there is a way there. Look, people must have walked in that way, maybe a hunter."
Lu yichen looked at the side stopping the car, there was very narrow path almost hidden by bushes, he got out of the car and followed along the path.
After going certain distance, the path stopped. Panicked he looked around him, there he saw the girl sitting in the tree trunk, to hide from the rain. She seems little scared, hiding her face in her arms holding her knee, her posture giving a lonely feeling.
He walked towards her, maybe the girl heard the footsteps, she looked up in alert, her eyes widens from seeing her. But that surprise lasted only for second after she ignored him and continued sitting in the same position.
"Let's go" he asked her but she ignored him.
"It's raining, let's go quickly." He again said patiently.
"Where" this time Evelyn asked him still not looking at him.
"Home" lu yichen replied.
"I don't have home." She said obviously trembling, it could be because she is cold, he assumed.
"Let's go my home, then"
" I am not going. You don't like me being there." She said in a whispering voice.
Lu yichen sat down in his knees and apologized to her," I know you are angry because of my previous words. I apologize for that. Now let's go home, ok"
"No" this time she looked up making him freeze. He saw her eyes red, though it is raining,it is evident that she cried and is still crying. Previously, when she cried it made him flustered but this it made him sad, she looked so pitiful and lonely that it makes his heart ache. He was the one who caused a cheerful girl to be this sad.
Without her agreement he got up and carried her in his arms. When he saw her white shirt, which has become transparent, he took off his jacket before covering her.
But the girl is not having this as she threw a tantrums.
"I'm not going. Not going. You are always cold, everyone is guarded against me. I did not do anything, yet everyone looked like I'm some kind of criminal." She cried loudly even thrashing her legs and arms but lu yichen hold her tightly not letting her fall.
"Let me go, I'm not going with you. I thought of you as a family but you don't care. You are not good. I don't like you at all. I'm not going with you. let me go." She clearly looked angry yet her tears kept falling while she complained all her grievances she felt in those period.
Lu yichen had not thought,their wariness would hurt her, they were cold to her thinking she is stranger. She looked cheerful always, he thought, she is silly and carefree person who doesn't care about such things. Yet here he is realizing how wrong he is, this girl felt everything and it seems she is also petty who holds grudge.
After saying all her grievances, she just sobbed. Knowing he is not letting her go, she stopped struggling and wrapped her arms around his neck as now she is feeling dizzy. Lu yichen, sensing her action, tighten his arms around her as he felt her trembling.
