The next two days went by smoothly.
Even though Zhao Kai still hadn't returned and couldn't be reached, they had already heard from Zhao Kai's nanny that their entire family had gone abroad. The three of them were finally at ease.
After the first half of the exam, if there were more exams in the afternoon, then Ji Feng and the others would not go back. Instead, they would stay in the dorm to rest for a while and prepare for the exams in the afternoon.
However, this was not the case for the past two days. No one brought up Zhao Kai. Even when they were on a topic of conversation and Zhao Kai was involved, the three of them would subconsciously avoid this topic and not mention Zhao Kai.
This caused Ji Feng to slightly shake his head. Obviously, even though everyone said that Zhao Kai would not do such a thing, Du Shaofeng's guess still left a shadow in their hearts.
Although Zhao Kai was still just a student and couldn't make any serious mistakes, his father was an official. These days, there were many officials who had absconded with their money. There were even some more arrogant officials who called back after escaping to another country, even calling the disciplinary department directly to denounce him. Such arrogance was simply unbridled.
This was also the reason why Du Shaofeng had such a conjecture. Once his conjecture was made, Ji Feng and Han Zhong's heart skipped a beat.
The possibility of this was not small at all!
Thus, everyone subconsciously avoided this topic regarding Zhao Kai.
Although they were very disdainful of running away from a crime, no matter what, Zhao Kai's relations.h.i.+p with them was not fake. Thus, while Ji Feng and the others were only willing to speak of this matter for Zhao Kai's sake, they were also unwilling to mention it.
Since they had escaped, then forget it, no one had the ability to interfere.
However, to Ji Feng, his emotions were extremely complicated. In fact, it could even be said that he felt extremely regretful.
If Zhao Kai went abroad with his family because of his father, then that would be a great pity.
If Zhao Kai could continue to develop, with his clever mind, his future would definitely be limitless. He would definitely be able to achieve great things in the future.
What a pity!
Ji Feng couldn't help but shake his head. He felt that Zhao Kai wasn't worth it.
However...
Ji Feng still had a trace of doubt in his heart. Or perhaps, it was an indescribable feeling — what if Zhao Kai did not run away out of guilt?
In Ji Feng's mind, he couldn't help but recall the scene when he spoke to Zhao Kai's babysitter. He kept thinking about it, but no matter how he thought about it, he felt that something was wrong. However, he couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was.
At the very least, Ji Feng felt that Zhao Kai wouldn't be able to do such a thing.
Even if he really wanted to run away, he had to contact Han Zhong and himself no matter what. Everyone had a good relations.h.i.+p with each other, but this brother said he didn't want it?
This did not match Zhao Kai's personality.
This was one of them.
Secondly, Ji Feng had a faint feeling that things might not be as simple as he thought. However, he was unable to explain why.
When he saw that both Han Zhong and Du Shaofeng subconsciously avoided the topic of Zhao Kai, Ji Feng couldn't bring it up again. He could only temporarily put this doubt in his heart because there were more important things for him to do.
At the very least, for the time being, it didn't matter if Zhao Kai was running away out of guilt or anything else. His safety was guaranteed.
Therefore, Ji Feng put this doubt in his heart. After the peaceful and safe examination, he was prepared to go to the Special Forces camp to discuss with Yong Zhan about his plan to capture the Prince in Nanyue.
A few girls were chatting in the living room, while Ji Feng and Zhang Lei were leisurely smoking on a large rock in the backyard.
While they were chatting, Ji Feng told Zhang Lei about Zhao Kai's matter. He had a knot in his heart that he was unable to solve, and this caused him to feel extremely uncomfortable.
So he wanted to discuss it with Zhang Lei. Listening to Zhang Lei's a.n.a.lysis, maybe Zhang Lei had other opinions?
"This is just a guess. He suddenly went home just as he was about to go to school. He just gave me a call to let me know." However, after returning home, even now, he still hasn't called. Now, his nanny has said that their entire family has gone abroad and it will be a while before they can return … "
Ji Feng roughly explained the situation and spread out his hands. "In the end, Old Du's one sentence shocked both Han Zhong and me, but thinking carefully, it's not that there's no such possibility. Although the possibility isn't high, but I have to admit, it's possible."
Zhang Lei couldn't help but scratch his head and said, "It is indeed possible, but I think your guesses are a bit out of place right? "You should know Zhao Kai better than I do. He doesn't seem like such a person, even though he was born in an official's family and has been through thick and thin, he is still very young. He shouldn't do any excessive bad things, don't you think?"
Ji Feng nodded his head and sighed. He couldn't help but say, "I think so too. Moreover, even if he left, he wouldn't have missed a single call. This isn't his personality." But we also have another guess. Maybe Zhao Kai felt that something like this had happened in his family, so he was too embarra.s.sed to call? "
Zhang Lei nodded slightly and said, "Mm, if we a.n.a.lyze it this way, then it's possible. However, if your guesses were wrong from the beginning, for example, your starting point was wrong, and Zhao Kai did not run away from the crime, then wasn't all your subsequent a.n.a.lysis just guessing from thin air? Maybe something else happened to him, or maybe he really just went on a trip abroad? "
Ji Feng threw up his hands, "That's why I'm stuck on this issue right now. It would be good if that fellow Zhao Kai really did go abroad to escape. However, if there's something else happening to him …"
Zhang Lei blurted out, "What's there to be conflicted about? Won't we know everything by just going to his house?" Of course, in order to avoid trouble and to avoid alerting the others, we should just go over directly and take advantage of the winter vacation to stay near his home to inquire about the situation. Wouldn't we know everything then? "
Ji Feng shook his head. "How can it be that simple? After we made this guess, I immediately checked the news about Zhao Kai and the other cities on the internet.
If there was no news, it meant that either the Zhao Family did not escape, or the local authorities had to seal the news.
Officials escaping was bad news, and he believed that the local authorities would definitely block the news.
Under these circ.u.mstances, it wasn't easy to find out more about it.
Besides, the rumours might not be accurate, and it might even become ridiculous because of the rumors.
Ji Feng pondered for a moment before saying, "Of course we can't just foolishly wait like this. We have to investigate and find out whether or not Zhao Kai really fled from the crime. If we get accurate information, I will be able to relax."
Zhang Lei asked, "Then how do you plan on investigating?"
Ji Feng shook his head and said, "Originally, I wanted to make a trip personally. It just so happens that during the winter vacation, time is a bit freer. But I still have a lot of things to do here, and I can't leave for a while. Also, I have to go to America in a few days, so I don't have time to go over there. "
The capture of the prince was imminent, and he had to take action immediately. He had been delayed for four to five days already, and if he were to continue delaying, perhaps there would be a problem. Ji Feng had no choice but to go.
Zhang Lei thought for a while, then asked, "I remember that Zhao Kai's home is in Beihe Province right? "It doesn't seem too far from Beijing?"
"Yes, it's in a city below Beihe Province. From Beijing, about 7 or 8 hours should be enough for us to drive there." Ji Feng nodded, "However, it is currently cold. If there is snow on the road, it might be slower, but at most, it won't take more than ten hours."
There was no need to talk about the hardware of the cities around Beijing. There was no other way around it. If they were near the imperial city, they would have to focus on the development. That was the advantage of their geographical position.
Therefore, even if there was snow on the road, the roadside officials would still clean it up in time. It wouldn't be too troublesome.
"Then I'll go!" Zhang Lei said.
Ji Feng was stunned. "Are you sure?"
Zhang Lei nodded, smiled and said, "Actually, there's nothing good about this winter vacation. I'll be home for at most four or five days, and I've already started to feel uncomfortable all over. With so many seniors at home, anyone can talk about you. That's annoying, and it's troublesome to socialize with them, so I took the opportunity to go out and hide in the quiet."
"Besides, you must be more at ease if I go and ask around, right?" Zhang Lei smiled.
"If that's the case … "Fine, you're the one." Ji Feng pondered for a moment before nodding in agreement, "However, you cannot go alone. I will find two people from the Tengfei Group's security team to accompany you."
"Lei Zi, you have to investigate more and find out where Zhao Kai went." Ji Feng said, "If he really did run away out of guilt, then I have nothing to say. However, if something else has happened to him, then as a brother, I can't just ignore it! "
