A Beloved Wife in Marriage

Jiang City

He had just left Lan City and she’d immediately become uncontactable. She must have known that he was leaving Lan City today.

This was the best time for her to escape from Lan City.

Lu Yuan could not think of it, but how could someone as smart as Jiang Yanshen not think of the connection?

The driver raced all the way back to the station. It was already noon when they arrived. Most of the officers had gone to the canteen for lunch.

Gu Xici came out to pick him up. As he walked, he said, “The person you sent to keep an eye on her was stopped outside the library. She took the other exit from the library to the back door of the school. There are no eyes there.”

Jiang Yanshen’s expression was as cold as ice. “So?”

Gu Xici didn’t answer him. Instead, he continued, “Your guys found out that she once asked a friend to get a fake ID for her and she booked a plane ticket to Lhasa using that.”

He walked into the office and pointed to the word Lhasa on the map on the blackboard.

Jiang Yanshen stopped in front of the map. His black eyes flickered, and his voice was cold and firm. “It’s fake.”

Gu Xici raised his eyebrows in surprise. “How do you know?”

“Her altitude sickness is very serious. She just wanted to escape the marriage, not commit suicide.”

The reason why Jiang Yanshen was so sure that Lin Qingqian would not go to Lhasa was because she had gone to Lhasa on a graduation trip the year she graduated from university. As soon as she got off the plane, she vomited all over the place. When she arrived at the hotel, she began to have a fever which remained high for three days.

If not for the fact that she couldn’t take it anymore and called him to pick her up, she would probably have died.

Gu Xiqiao nodded thoughtfully. “I also found out that she once used her phone software to get a hitch ride from Luzhou. Do you need me to contact the brothers over there?”

Lan City was the provincial capital. The small cities below would more or less give him face.

Jiang Yanshen pursed his thin lips into a straight line. He stared at the map with a cold gaze and did not speak for a long time.

This girl usually looked pure and harmless, but it turned out that she was hiding such a meticulous mind.

He almost suspected that Lin Qingqian had used her entire life’s worth of intelligence to play such a childish game of cat and mouse with him.

Lu Yuan stood at the side and swallowed silently. He asked carefully, “Could Madam have returned to Yushan?”

Jiang Yanshen glanced at him from the corner of his eye.

Lu Yuan immediately fell silent.

Gu Xici lit a cigarette and took a puff casually. He said with a faint smile, “If she really wanted to escape from the marriage, why would she return to her hometown?”

Lu Yuan knew that he had said something stupid. He gritted his teeth and stopped talking. At this moment, it was better not to speak.

“The most dangerous place is the safest place,” Jiang Yanshen suddenly said, attracting their attention.

Gu Xici walked to his side and pointed at the place beside Lan City with his slender fingers. “This is—”

Jiang Yanshen’s thin lips said coldly, “Jiang City!”

Jiang City was only a 2-hour drive from Lan City. Although its economic development was not as good as Lan City, it was still a second-tier city. As Lan City’s economic development became saturated, more and more businesses and people went to Jiang City to develop.

“There are so many cities near Lan City. How can you be sure that she went to Jiang City?” Gu Xici asked curiously.

Jiang Yanshen’s sharp gaze landed on the words “Jiang City”, and the corners of his mouth curled up in mockery. “She likes fashion design so much, so she won’t go to places that aren’t developed. Moreover…”

He stopped abruptly and did not continue.

Gu Xici raised an eyebrow. “Moreover what?”

Jiang Yanshen glanced at him and did not answer. He said in a cold voice, “She’s meticulous and created two smoke grenades to confuse me. She probably won’t use a ride-hailing platform but some offline carpooling!”

After a pause, something flashed through his mind. He looked at Gu Xici and said, “There’s nothing at the back of the school. Usually, no cars will go over. You can check the license plate number of the car that went that way today.”

Gu Xici laughed. “Have you forgotten what I did? I’ve already gotten someone to check the surveillance footage.”

After a pause, he said as if he would die if he didn’t mock him, “But the two of you are playing cat and mouse well. Do you want to consider coming to our criminal investigation team to help solve cases or something?”

Jiang Yanshen lowered his long eyelashes, restrained all the emotions in his eyes, and turned to leave. Lu Yuan followed behind him silently.

Gu Xici sent him to the door and looked at his back. “She should be in Jiang City by now. Even if you rush over, it’ll be like looking for a needle in a haystack.”

Jiang Yanshen walked out as if he hadn’t heard anything. He didn’t stop for a second or even make a sound.

Lu Yuan jogged to the car and opened the door for him. Before Jiang Yanshen got into the car, he said…
