Chapter 584 - 584: Misdirection

“No.” Yi Zheng immediately denied without thinking, “I’m afraid it will be dangerous when you go back this time. I can’t let you take the risk alone. Listen to me. 1 have my own arrangements.”

That night, the names of Shi Man and Yi Zheng appeared on the passenger list of the recent flight from the capital to G City.

The dark night was as quiet as the forest. The loud bang from the plane woke up the birds who were always vigilant in their sleep.

The birds spread their wings and flew away from the tree branches. A black shadow on the ground suddenly stirred up a gust of dust. In the silence, only the loud engine of the car was echoing.

In the morning, Shen Xian washed up early and woke up to call Shi Man and the others downstairs for breakfast.

Su Tang stretched tiredly and went to wash up with Bai Xue, who had slept here last night. She tidied her messy hair.

Shen Xian looked at them and suddenly thought of her former daughter. When she was in school, she would also wheedle and want to stay in bed, unwilling to get up for class.

But now, Shi Man always woke up earlier than her. Usually, when she woke up, Shi Man had already gone out for a run and returned. She always looked energetic and full of vitality.

“Why hasn’t Manman run back today?” Shen Xian looked at the butler out of habit as she checked the dishes for breakfast.

The old butler stammered for a long time. Under Shen Xian’s increasingly puzzled gaze, he lowered his head guiltily and said, “Madam, I… I haven’t seen Missy today. Perhaps she went out earlier than usual today?”

Shen Xian immediately felt that something was wrong.

She put down the spoon in her hand and walked to Shi Man’s room with doubts. She raised her hand and knocked on the door. “Manman, are you up? It’s time for breakfast.”

There was only boundless silence in response.

Shen Xian panicked. She took a deep breath and turned the doorknob before walking in.

Shi Man’s room here was decorated by Shen Xian according to her current style.

The overall grayish-white color matched the simple but designed furniture. It reflected the unique and indifferent temperament of the room owner and was very suitable for the current Shi Man.

Past the entrance, there was a neat bookshelf inside. It was filled with all kinds of books that Shen Xian could not understand. There was an experiment table opposite the bookshelf. Shen Xian had never seen Shi Man use it, but the experimental equipment seemed to have been wiped clean by Shi Man every day.

She only thought that her daughter liked to fiddle with these things and did not think too much about it.

At the far end of the room was a large bed that could accommodate two or three people. The bed was also grayish-white, and the blanket was smooth and clean. It looked like no one had slept here at all.

When this thought appeared in her mind, Shen Xian was shocked.

She hurriedly took out her phone and called Shi Man, but no one picked up.

On the small road in the suburbs, a car sped past and finally turned into a familiar alley.

At this moment, the sunlight had just spread from the horizon. The first ray of sunlight that seeped in through the car window woke up the girl in the car.

Shi Man gently opened her eyes and looked at the man who had woken up beside her. She stretched lazily and relaxed her tired body. “Are we almost there?”

“We’ll be there soon.” Yi Zheng raised his hand and pulled her into his arms. He massaged her shoulders to prevent her from aching after sleeping in the car for the night.

Shi Man enjoyed his massage comfortably. She looked at the time on her phone and a missed call. She suddenly sat up and frowned. “Oh no, I didn’t tell Mom. She’ll probably be anxious now.”

Last night, they had left in a hurry and had arranged many things to prevent trouble at the last minute. However, they had forgotten to tell their family about such a big matter.

Yi Zheng smiled and flicked her forehead. “Don’t be nervous. I’ve told Dad. He’ll help us talk to Mom.”

Only then did Shi Man feel relieved. She narrowed her eyes and looked at the familiar street outside. Indeed, the car had already arrived near the Shi family’s manor.

Just as she was thinking of taking the opportunity to lie down and rest for a while, a news report suddenly came from Tang Zhe’s phone in front of her. “At three in the morning last night, an extremely bad robbery happened near the city’s airport. The suspect has been successfully captured by the police.”

Shi Man’s eyes turned cold as she quickly reached forward. “Let me see.”

Tang Zhe hurriedly handed the phone to Shi Man. The scene was at the event location of the robbery last night. Shi Man looked at the suspects whose faces were covered and could not see anyone similar to Lin Si from their figures. She could only return the phone to Tang Zhe expressionlessly.

Yi Zheng patted her head in amusement. “He won’t show up personally, but just as we expected, someone knows our flight information and set up an ambush on the way to the Shi family at the airport in advance..”
