Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Two

Ji Linxi analyzed: “Ling Miao has left home before. At the time, he had a bad fight with his dad over his job, so he packed up and came to my place. This time the situation’s different. He can’t come to me and he can’t look for people who know me.

“If Ling Miao’s still in the city, he’ll probably go to his high school or junior high classmates for help. All his junior high classmates are in Nanping, and that’s where his home is, too.”

“You mean, he might have gone home?” Feng Ji followed Ji Linxi’s words. “Which part of Nanping does he live in?”

“That, I’m not sure about,” Ji Linxi said regretfully. “But I heard that Ling Miao’s relationship with his stepmother isn’t good and his dad is often away on business, so it’s not very likely that he’ll go home.”

“I think it’s more likely he went home than that he looked for his ex-classmates,” Feng Ji smiled and said. “I’ll tell Su Yuyang to get in touch with Ling Miao’s classmates, and if we can’t find him then we’ll have to go to Ling Miao’s old home and look.”

Feng Ji hung up the phone then picked up Su Yuyang who was as limp as wet clay. He dusted Su Yuyang off and said, “Ji Linxi said that Ling Miao might have gone to look for his middle school classmates, or went home. I suggest you get in touch with his middle school classmates, and if there’s no news of him, then go to his old home and look.”

A ray of sunlight shot through Su Yuyang’s gray eyes. He pressed Feng Ji’s hand and said ardently, “Really?”

“It’s possible.” Feng Ji didn’t want to be too definite. “But since it’s possible, we have to try, right? I suggest looking in Ling Miao’s yearbook and the phone book and getting in touch with those with phone numbers first.”

“I know a faster way,” An Yan, who had not spoken until now, said. “Look at Ling Miao’s call history and see who he’s gotten in touch with recently. Check his recent messages on QQ, too.”

“Might anything fall through the cracks?” Feng Ji asked uncertainly.

Su Yuyang had already unlocked Ling Miao’s phone and logged into Ling Miao’s QQ.

“Ling Miao’s phone was with me all along and he didn’t touch it. I just checked the last login time on all his QQ handles. The main account was on the day he was kidnapped. The secondary account, even longer.” Su Yuyang looked dejectedly at his laptop. Now he had to place his last hope on ‘Ling Miao went back to his old home.’

“Does Ji Linxi know where Ling Miao’s old home is?”

“He only knows it’s in Nanping. He doesn’t know the address.”

Su Yuyang thought about the people who might know Ling Miao’s old address and suddenly his eyes lit up.

3000WPH: Yu-ge, Xiao Miao’s contract was mailed to his old house, right?

Aside from Mu Yu, Su Yuyang really couldn’t think of anyone else he knew who might know Ling Miao’s address.

Mu Yu: I checked. There are two return addresses. Why?

3000WPH: Can you tell me the first address? I want to go to his old home and look for him.

Mu Yu: This… You’re putting me on the spot.

3000WPH: Yu-ge, I’m begging you.

Mu Yu: Begging won’t help. I’m surprised, though, that going by your relationship with Ling Miao he hasn’t brought you home to see his parents.
