Chapter 664: He Was Worried About Her

The woman didn’t know what was wrong with the man and woman in front of unit 15-07 but she could tell that they were very worried about the woman who lived in that unit. She sighed before she said, “Aye, if she has really gone missing, you should call the police as soon as possible. There’s something about that unit…”

She shrank back, suddenly bared her teeth and looked very frightened as though she had thought of something terrifying.

“What’s wrong?” Shu Man asked in concern, surprised by the change in this woman’s att.i.tude.

The woman pointed at unit 15-07 with a trembling finger and whispered, “There used to be a female tenant who lived in the same unit three years ago. I heard she was only 28 years old and she had only rented this unit for less than two months before she committed suicide, and later I heard that she had depression. I feel that there’s something particularly evil about this unit, so you’d better find your friend as soon as possible. She might be haunted by a restless spirit… so she might have…”

The woman asked creepily, then hugged her child tightly to her and took several steps before. She had been fine before she brought up this story but after she mentioned it, she suddenly felt her hairs stand up and she quickly sought comfort by returning to her own home.

Ye Hao paled even further after he heard the woman’s tale. He immediately turned and headed for the stairwell, and Shu Man quickly followed behind. Their hearts raced, their faces were flushed, and a chill had traveled down their spines.

The woman’s words didn’t make them feel better but only made them even more nervous and concerned.

They went to visit the building management office and asked a staff member to pull out the CCTV installed at the elevator and main gate of the apartment dating back to a week ago.

They held their breaths and searched the computer screens for her figure.

“She’s there…” Shu Man suddenly said as she pointed at the screen. The staff member hit the pause b.u.t.ton and Shu Man pointed at the woman who was pulling her luggage in the screen.

This was none other than He Xiyan, her elder sister. Her sister walked with her head bowed the entire time. She was dressed in a loose, black overcoat, a pair of leather gloves, ankle-length boots, and her hair wasn’t tied up but pinned back with a hair clip. She looked very fatigued and walked listlessly along the streets.

“She had taken the lift at 9:14 PM, then left the apartment at 9:16 PM. My G.o.d, why was she heading out at such a late hour? She could have left in the morning!” Shu Man said in agitation. She grew emotional when she saw her sister on the computer screen and clapped her hand over her mouth. Her heart raced and she instinctively knew that there was something very wrong with her sister.

Cold sweat beaded on Ye Hao’s forehead and his s.h.i.+rt was also drenched in sweat. He dug out his mobile phone and anxiously called the police, then drove straight to the police station.

He didn’t look at fl.u.s.tered as Shu Man but only he knew that his heart was all the way up his throat in fear. He was also extremely worried.

He fervently prayed that she would be safe and that no harm had befallen her. He would have taken her place in a heartbeat.

Ye Hao didn’t say a single word on the ride to the police station, his expression was grim and solemn. He drove quickly and they’d reached the police station in less than 30 minutes.

Due to his influential status with Ye City, the highest-ranked officer in the police station quickly came out to greet him and personally made the arrangements for the search. The officer even vouched that he would solve this case and find his missing ex-wife as fast as he could.

“Thank you, Inspector Du. Please try to find my wife as fast as you can. I’m really worried about her, I truly am.”
