Chapter 1238 Searching
On the other side, Lin Hao and Jiang Nan were having a wild and intense fight when his phone suddenly rang.

Lin Hao was speechless when he received Liu Yingxia's call, but he answered the phone.

"Hey!"

Upon hearing Lin Hao's voice on the phone, Liu Yingxia quickly asked, "Mr. Lin, is Jia Kuan with you?"

"She's not here!" Lin Hao said, covering Jiang Nan's mouth.

"Did he... did he contact you?" Liu Ying asked somewhat nervously.

"No!" Lin Hao continued.

"I haven't contacted you!" Liu Yingxia said, somewhat disappointed.

Seeing Liu Yingxia stammering, Lin Hao asked directly, "No, what's wrong? Did something happen?"

"Jia Kuan, Jia Kuan, he...!" Liu Yingxia said, her voice trembling with tears, "We can't find him!"

"No, what's wrong with you two?" Lin Hao roughly guessed what was going on; it must be the plot of Jia Kuan running away from home.

However, when he ran away from home, he didn't really leave. Instead, he went to Henan to ask Liu Yingxia's parents to persuade her to keep the child.

However, Lin Hao felt that Liu Yingxia should be taught a lesson. She was too strong-willed and self-righteous. Perhaps it was because she had been best friends with Jian Ai for a long time that her thoughts were becoming more and more aligned with Jian Ai's.

At this point, Liu Yingxia replied, "We had a fight tonight about having a baby, and then he got angry and slammed the door and left!"

"And I called him several times, but his phone was off!"

"Don't worry, don't worry!" Seeing Liu Yingxia's anxiety, Lin Hao reassured her, "If the phone is off, maybe it's out of battery!"

"Or I could go somewhere to relax, and then I'll be back soon!"

"No, it's definitely not!" Liu Yingxia said, forcing herself to remain calm.
"His phone is never turned off, and he's never been late coming home before!"

"No, how badly did you two argue?" Lin Hao asked, puzzled, before analyzing further:
Did he say anything before he left? Or did you say something?

"We just had a fight!" Liu Yingxia hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth: "I, I said, I definitely don't want that child!"

"If you want it, then trade your life for mine!" Liu Yingxia added at the end.

"No, what are you saying? Liu Yingxia, what are you thinking?" Considering that Liu Yingxia was pregnant, Lin Hao didn't say anything too harsh.

Liu Yingxia didn't know what to say for a moment, which was why she didn't want to contact Lin Hao.

However, thinking of Jia Kuan, she still said with some worry, "Do you think something might happen to him?"

"Alright, alright, don't rush me!" Lin Hao finally said.
"Since the phone is off, why don't you contact the other people and have them all go out and look for somewhere to go?"

"Okay!" Liu Yingxia said and quickly hung up, then contacted the others.

Once she had recovered, Jiang Nan leaned against Lin Hao's chest and asked, "What's wrong? From what you were saying just now, did Brother Kuan run away from home?"

Lin Hao gently stroked Jiang Nan's smooth back, then shook his head and said:

"Pretty much. I had a fight with Liu Yingxia over the child, and then I ran away from home!"

"They're always causing us trouble!" Lin Hao said, patting Jiang Nan on the back of the sack. "Let's go, let's go help look for them!"

······
When Lin Hao drove to Jia Kuan's house, Zhou Yiming and Hui Zi also arrived.

So the two families looked around the neighborhood before going upstairs and knocking on Jia Kuan's door.

When the door was opened, they found Jane was already inside.

"How did it go?" Liu Yingxia asked quickly upon seeing Lin Hao and Zhou Yiming.

"I've searched the neighborhood, but I haven't seen him!" Lin Hao said, shaking his head.

Everyone was gathered at Jia Kuan's house at this time, and Jian Ai only noticed when she entered.

"Come in, everyone!" Jane said, stepping aside to open the door.

Lin Hao nodded, and led Jiang Nan, while Zhou Yiming led Hui Zi, and the four of them went inside together.

At this point, no one had any clue. Although Lin Hao knew the answer, he didn't want to say anything, wanting to teach Liu Yingxia a lesson, so he kept quiet.

After the group entered, Jian Ai looked at Jiang Nan, whose face was as beautiful as a peach blossom, and Hui Zi, who was full of charm. For some reason, she felt a pang of jealousy.

"No, I have to go find it myself!" Liu Yingxia said excitedly.

"Don't go!" Jane said, pulling back the agitated Liu Yingxia. "They can't even find them, how can you?"

"It's all my fault!" Liu Yingxia said regretfully, "I shouldn't have said those things to provoke him!"

"He can't be in any trouble!" Liu Yingxia said worriedly.

"Don't overthink it, what could possibly happen?" Lin Hao shook his head and said.
"He couldn't even count on you to give birth to this child while he was alive. He can't even count on you to give birth to the child after he dies!"

"How can you talk like that!" Zhou Yiming tugged at Lin Hao before comforting him, "Sister Xia is alright, don't listen to him!"

"What he said wasn't nice, but it wasn't entirely unreasonable. Brother Kuan values ​​his life very much; nothing will happen to him!"

But Zhou Yiming's words did not comfort Liu Yingxia, who was already somewhat flustered.

“Jia Kuan is narrow-minded. What if he gets stubborn and insists on doing something wrong? I can’t live without my husband!” Liu Yingxia said with some regret.

At this moment, Jiang Nan thought for a moment and suggested:

"Waiting at home isn't going to solve anything. Why don't we go look for him in the places he frequents?"

“Yes!” Huizi agreed, “Especially the places you three brothers frequent, you might be able to find them!”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Liu Yingxia quickly said upon hearing this, "Let's look for him in the places he frequents!"

As Liu Yingxia was about to leave, Jian Ai quickly stopped her and advised again, "Don't go. You should stay home and wait for me!"

Liu Yingxia said anxiously, "I can't stay at home, I definitely have to go!"

"Alright, alright, let's go together!" Lin Hao said after thinking for a moment.

"Leaving her alone at home and worrying all the time is pointless; it's better to go with her to look for her!"

Okay then, Jane, you take care of her. I'll go with Jiang Nan, and Zhou Yiming and Huizi will go together. We'll split up and go to the places he frequents to look for him.

"Jane, you go with Liu Yingxia to the places they frequent. Maybe you can find them there!"

After making the arrangements, the group split up. Zhou Yiming went to a barbecue restaurant near the school where they often gathered. Liu Yingxia and Jian Ai went to their usual dining and dating spots, even the company rooftop.

Lin Hao, on the other hand, leisurely accompanied Jiang Nan to the mall.

Seeing that Lin Hao didn't seem worried at all, Jiang Nan asked curiously:

"Brother Hao, why do you seem so unconcerned? You even have the mood to let me go shopping with you?"

"What's the rush!" Lin Hao said unhurriedly, "Actually, I have a rough idea where Jia Kuan went!"

"Ah!" Jiang Nan was surprised to hear this, and then asked in confusion, "Since you knew, why didn't you tell Liu Yingxia?"

"Sigh!" Lin Hao sighed, and then briefly told Jiang Nan about Jia Kuan and Liu Yingxia's problems with their child and family conflicts.

Finally, Lin Hao said earnestly:
"That's why I guessed where Jia Kuan was, but I still didn't tell them."

"At the same time, it can be considered as helping them out. Firstly, it won't disrupt Jia Kuan's plans, and secondly, it will allow Liu Yingxia to think things through and clarify her own feelings, whether she wants her career or her family!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nan asked curiously, "So where exactly did Brother Kuan go? How did you know?"

Lin Hao put his arm around Jiang Nan, handed her the milk tea he had bought, and then smiled and said:
“With someone as strong as Liu Yingxia, who happens to be pregnant, even if Jia Kuan is strong and cunning, he has no room to use his abilities.”

"Since Jia Kuan himself has no way to persuade Liu Yingxia to keep the child, then he can only find someone who can keep Liu Yingxia in check!"

"Tell me, who else could possibly persuade Liu Yingxia now?" Lin Hao asked rhetorically at the end of his analysis.

"Hmm~!" Jiang Nan's mind worked quickly, and soon a thought flashed through her mind. She asked somewhat uncertainly, "Liu Yingxia's parents?"

"Muma~!" Lin Hao kissed Jiang Nan on the cheek, then praised, "As expected of my capable wife, you are indeed clever and quick-witted!"

"Are you praising me, or praising yourself?" Jiang Nan said, somewhat amused.

"Same, same, all the same!"

The two of them then strolled around for more than an hour without feeling guilty, and only when it was almost time did they meet up with Liu Yingxia and the others.

After the group reunited, they found nothing; there was no trace of Jia Kuan at all.

Seeing beads of sweat on Lin Hao's forehead, Jiang Nan subconsciously wiped them away for him, while the child next to him opened a bottle of water and fed it to Zhou Yiming.

Seeing the two of them being all lovey-dovey, Jian Ai looked away, took care of Liu Yingxia who was experiencing morning sickness, and then fell into her memories.

At this moment, Jane suddenly realized that Jiang Nan, her girlfriend, was far more competent than she was as her ex-wife.

When she was with Lin Hao, he was always the one taking care of her, and she never had any sense of Jiang Nan's feelings.

She's not even as good as Huizi. Not only does she not take care of others, but she expects others to take care of her. Everything revolves around her.

The fact that Lin Hao no longer showed her any favoritism made Jian Ai feel somewhat uncomfortable, especially the way Lin Hao was intimate with Jiang Nan, which stirred up a hint of jealousy in her otherwise calm heart.

At this point, Liu Yingxia, who had been suffering from morning sickness, finally felt a little better and asked the others, "He hasn't contacted you yet?"

"No!" Zhou Yiming shook his head and said, "His phone was switched off the whole way!"

"We've also looked here, but have you found anything?" Lin Hao shook his head and said.

Lin Hao wasn't lying. He did go looking for him, even in the mall, but he couldn't find him or contact Jia Kuan.

Upon hearing that no one had found Jia Kuan, or even heard a word from him, Liu Yingxia said with a worried expression:

"That living person, whether he's dead or alive, we don't know where he could have gone!"

Zhou Yiming asked in confusion:

"We've searched everywhere we can. If he needs something, he'll only contact us. We haven't seen any other friends of his in Beijing. Where else could he be?"

"Should we call the police?" Liu Yingxia was now completely at a loss.

"No, why are you calling the police?" Jian Ai quickly said, "It's not even 24 hours yet, they won't handle it!"

Lin Hao was speechless. This was such an old trope, and the screenwriter's skills hadn't improved at all.

There has never been a rule in China that you can only call the police after 24 hours, nor is there any legal threshold. The key is to see how things go.

Whether someone is missing for minutes or hours, if there are signs of danger to their personal safety or they belong to a special group of people, you can and should immediately call the police.

The police will immediately register and accept the case, and then decide whether to file a case based on the investigation results.

When filing cases against adults, in practice, the police often use 24-48 hours of being out of contact as the initial investigation period. This can only be used as an experience reference, not a hard and fast rule.

In short, there is no legal requirement to call the police 24 hours a day. If you have any concerns about your personal safety, call the police immediately!

Hearing that the police wouldn't accept the report, Liu Yingxia panicked even more, so she said, "Then, let's just say he's been kidnapped!"

"That won't do!" Lin Hao knew Jia Kuan was alright and didn't want to cause any further trouble, so he said solemnly:
"That's filing a false report. The consequences will be even more serious if you're found out. Can you calm down first?"

"How can I stay calm!" Liu Yingxia said emotionally, "If we can't find this person, if we can't find Jia Kuan, then he's gone!"

As Liu Yingxia spoke, she finally couldn't hold back her tears.

"Then you need to calm down first!" Lin Hao had also calmed down enough and was ready to comfort Liu Yingxia and tell her where Jia Kuan was.

But at that moment, Liu Yingxia, who was crying and wailing, questioned Jian Ai beside her:

"Didn't I tell you not to tell Jia Kuan? Why did you have to tell him?"

"No, I didn't tell him about this!" Jian Ai said with a wronged expression.

As Liu Yingxia spoke, she said resentfully, "Well, I told you, but how did he know?"

Jane felt aggrieved, but at the same time, she was also somewhat relieved that she hadn't interfered in their decision-making.

Now, just because she knows, Liu Yingxia is blaming her for tipping off Jia Kuan. If she gets involved in their decisions about the child, they will only resent her more in the future.

As if suddenly remembering something, Jian Ai looked at Lin Hao, and before she could ask, Lin Hao said directly:
"I said it!"

Upon hearing Lin Hao's admission, Liu Yingxia became agitated and angrily exclaimed, "Why did you tell him?!"

"Why can't I say it!" Lin Hao said sharply, "Liu Yingxia, what right do you have to get so worked up here!"

"Now that we can't find Jia Kuan, have you ever considered that the problem might lie with you?"

"You're pregnant, why didn't you tell him? As your husband and the future father of your child, shouldn't Jia Kuan know? Doesn't he have the right to know?"

"Xiao Hao's words make perfect sense!" Zhou Yiming was also somewhat annoyed by Liu Yingxia's attitude.
