Chapter 427: Chapter 426: Missing Each Other
But when she wanted to speak, the car had already driven past her.
Even if she called out now, it wouldn’t stop anyone.
"What’s wrong?" Henry, noticing something was off, asked with concern.
A wan shook her head, "Nothing."
For some reason, she didn’t really want to tell Henry.
On the other side, after not finding A wan and Henry at the Youyi Hotel, Sheng Zexi and the others left.
However, before leaving, they left a message, hoping to be informed if A wan and Henry returned.
Or if anyone recalled any crucial information, like their whereabouts.
Though hope was slim, what if A wan and Henry came back?
Unable to find them, Sheng Zexi drove, planning to return to the courtyard with Gu Jia Ning and Grandma Sang.
While driving, Sheng Zexi suddenly sensed a piercing gaze seemingly looking at him from the outside, fixing on him.
As a soldier, Sheng Zexi was quite sensitive in perception.
So the moment he sensed it, he looked over.
Unfortunately, all he saw was a taxi.
He was sure the person who had been watching him was in that taxi.
But now...
Even by looking in the rearview mirror, he couldn’t see the person’s face.
Nevertheless, Sheng Zexi wasn’t concerned.
The gaze didn’t carry malice or hostility.
Back at the courtyard, the mood of the three was somewhat low.
After all, they thought this time they’d immediately see Sang Yuwan.
Unexpectedly, they were a step late, and she had already left.
Especially Grandma Sang, who was very disheartened.
This morning, Grandma Sang had experienced quite an emotional upheaval.
First, she learned that her daughter, who had been dead for over a decade, wasn’t actually dead.
That naturally was a great joy.
Hurriedly rushing to the Youyi Hotel, hoping to see her.
Only to find they were too late, and she had already gone.
The excitement plummeted instantly.
"Grandma, I believe, since Mom is alive and appeared in Beijing, we will definitely find her." Sheng Zexi stepped forward, wrapped his arm around Grandma Sang’s shoulders, and leaned in.
Grandma Sang patted her grandson’s hand and said, "At my age, doesn’t Grandma understand these things? You don’t have to worry about Grandma."
"Don’t worry, Grandma’s fine."
"Grandma also believes that since A wan is still alive, no matter the circumstance, she wouldn’t be willing not to come back to see her old parents."
"Grandma’s right, they say there’s a bond between mothers and children, and you’re all here, Grandma surely can’t bear it, she’ll definitely come back," Gu Jia Ning also reassured.
"Mm."

Meanwhile, after returning, Sheng Xinhao continued to intensify the search for A wan and Henry.
And the A wan and Henry they were looking for had already arrived at the airport and soon boarded the plane.
The plane was heading to Yangcheng.
Now, entering the 1980s, ordinary people in Hua Country could also fly.
However, the tickets were expensive, not something the average person could afford.
But for A wan and Henry, money wasn’t an issue.
Flying was still the most convenient way to travel.
The moment A wan boarded the plane, she felt a sense of emptiness and inexplicably fell into a low mood.
Henry noticed it and tried every way to cheer A wan up.
But A wan just couldn’t bring herself to be happy.
Even when she occasionally played along, it was reluctantly.
Henry thought he probably knew the reason.
A wan, would you only be happy if you left me?
Henry’s eyes were filled with confusion and conflict.
-
That night, Sheng Xinhao learned that A wan and Henry had flown away.
They took a flight to Yangcheng.
Exactly where in Yangcheng they went was unknown.
Upon learning from the call that his mother went to Yangcheng, Sheng Zexi furrowed his brows.
Regarding Yangcheng, neither he nor the old man was familiar.
The old man’s influence didn’t reach that far.
Investigating people there would be difficult.
But no matter how difficult, it had to be investigated.
Speaking of Yangcheng, he thought of someone.
But...
Should he ask that person for help?
Sheng Zexi was somewhat indecisive.
After hanging up the phone, Sheng Zexi also shared this with Gu Jia Ning.
"Yangcheng?"
"I remember, soon Yangcheng will host the Guangzhou Trade Fair, and I just happen to have a holiday, are you busy these days?"
"If you’re not busy, we can take the children to visit the fair, maybe we’ll run into them."
Perhaps because of the concept of rebirth, Gu Jia Ning had more faith in the mysterious.
Since after over a decade, Xingxing could meet Sang Yuwan at the airport.
And they could find out Sang Yuwan was still alive.
Then they would definitely meet again and recognize each other!
"Maybe we’ll just bump into them while strolling around?" Gu Jia Ning said.
Sheng Zexi: ...
Originally, Sheng Zexi thought that specifically looking for someone might not even work, let alone anything else.
But Ningning’s words somehow made him believe it was possible.
"Alright, then we’ll go to Yangcheng together."
Sheng Zexi thought about it and figured it would be nice to take his wife and children for a stroll.
Since marrying Ningning, it seemed she never had leisurely outings anywhere.
She was always busy.
Busy for him, for her career, for the children.
It’s really time to relax.
And for the children, in their childhood, they should also play more.
"Let’s ask Grandma if she wants to join." Sheng Zexi suggested.
"Alright."
So, Gu Jia Ning asked Grandma Sang.
"Go ahead, just if Grandpa asks, don’t tell him for now."
Grandma Sang still thought they should find A wan first, and then tell her old man.
After all, her old man was getting on in years, with slightly high blood pressure, and couldn’t handle such intense emotional swings.
"Alright."
Little did they expect, the next day, when Grandpa Sang came to the courtyard and heard that his wife was going to Yangcheng with the grandchildren to visit the Guangzhou Trade Fair.
He blew up instantly and felt aggrieved.
"You’re all going and not taking me along!"
"That won’t do!"
"I don’t care, I want to go too."
At this moment, Grandpa Sang was like a child, feeling like he was being left behind.
Grandma Sang gave him a look, "Don’t you need to go to your research institute?"
Grandpa Sang immediately said, "I’m half-retired now, I don’t always need to be there, or should I go for formal retirement?"
He had long wanted to retire, getting older, wanting to just be with his wife and grandchildren.
As for the weapons research institute, he had already contributed and strived.
The rest should be left for the new generation to take over.
"Are you hiding some secret from me by not taking me along?" Grandpa Sang’s suspicious eyes swept over them.
