The maid immediately understood.

"Oh, looking for your wife? Wait a moment,"

Standing behind Wu Mingcheng, Li Dawei peered through the open door. The room was furnished entirely with mahogany furniture—both tacky and extravagant—and he couldn't help but curl his lip in disapproval.

Shangzhen walked over, her eyes red and her head slightly lowered. Seeing a handsome young man, she assumed he was her daughter's friend.

So she asked, puzzled.

"who are you?"

Wu Mingcheng said cautiously,

“Aunt Shang, I’m from Jiulihe Police Station. Officer Chen Xincheng is my senior. I’d like to meet Jiajia.”

Upon hearing Wu Mingcheng's words, Shangzhen realized that the handsome young man in front of her was also a policeman.

However, she was completely confused at this point.

"Oh, didn't Chen Xincheng go to find Jiajia? What happened? He didn't find her?"

Upon hearing this, Li Dawei was taken aback.

"My master went to find Jiajia? But he's out of contact now, we can't reach him at all,"

Now it was Shangzhen's turn to be surprised. She exclaimed in surprise.

"what?"

Wu Mingcheng frowned and asked.

"Didn't Jiajia come back either?"

Shangzhen shook her head and said anxiously,

"I thought Jiajia was with him. What should I do now?"

Just then, Shangzhen's current husband, Mr. Yu, appeared behind her and asked,

"Honey, who is it?"

Shangzhen turned to Mr. Yu and smiled apologetically.

"Oh, it's nothing. Jiajia's two classmates are just here to see her."

Seeing Shangzhen's cautious behavior, Wu Mingcheng immediately sensed something was amiss.

What happened next made Wu Mingcheng sense that something was amiss.

Then, Shangzhen quickly turned her head and whispered to Wu Mingcheng and Li Dawei,

"As you've seen, I can't say any more. That's all for now."

As Shangzhen was about to close the door, Li Dawei, seeing that he hadn't gotten anything out of her, stepped forward and held the door shut with his hand.

"Auntie, I have an urgent mission and I need to contact my master."

Shangzhen became anxious at this moment, as if she was afraid that Mr. Yu would see them.

"I really don't know where he is, you should leave quickly,"

Seeing the door slam shut behind him, Li Dawei had no choice but to give up, which also left him feeling somewhat bewildered.

He said to Wu Mingcheng, who was standing next to him,

"Mingcheng, there's something strange about Master's ex-wife. You should at least give us Jiajia's contact information,"

Chapter 492 Searching for Chen Xincheng

As Wu Mingcheng walked out, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

“There must be something we don’t know about. Haven’t you noticed that she’s been acting strangely ever since her husband came out?”

Li Dawei thought about it and realized it was indeed as Wu Mingcheng had said.

"That's true. After her husband came out, she didn't dare to talk to us. Why do you think that is?"

Wu Mingcheng also shook his head.

“How could I possibly know? Our top priority is to find Uncle Chen. Call him right now and keep trying until you get through,”

However, Wu Mingcheng had a vague feeling that Chen Xincheng's daughter Jiajia's accident was inextricably linked to his ex-wife, who was now his husband.

So, after they got back to the car, Li Dawei kept dialing Chen Xincheng's number, but it kept going unanswered.

Wu Mingcheng drove aimlessly on the road, while Li Dawei sat in the passenger seat, dialing the phone repeatedly and muttering to himself.

"Answer it, Master, please answer the phone, I'm begging you!"

Suddenly, the phone was answered, and Chen Xincheng's muffled voice came from the other end.

"Hey, who is it?"

Li Dawei was overjoyed.

"Master, it's me, Dawei! Where are you? I'm so worried!"

But to his surprise, the call suddenly dropped again.

Wu Mingcheng looked at Li Dawei beside him and asked,

"what's the situation?"

Li Dawei said helplessly.

"After the call connected, he said one sentence and then hung up. However, the driver seemed to have been drinking; his speech was intermittent."

Wu Mingcheng then said,

"Call back again,"

Li Dawei quickly dialed again, and Chen Xincheng's muffled voice came through once more.

"Dawei... Dawei..."

Li Dawei hurriedly asked.

"Master, it's me. Where are you?"

Chen Xincheng's voice was muffled, and Li Dawei tried to decipher it carefully.

"Where? Bangpeng Street? Okay, Master, stay where you are, I'll be right there."

After hanging up the phone, he said to Wu Mingcheng, who was standing next to him,

"Mingcheng, Master is on Bangpeng Street. Let's go there first, but we don't know the exact location."

Wu Mingcheng then said,

"It's alright, Uncle Chen had his car with him when he left tonight, we can just find a car."

Li Dawei was worried that Wu Mingcheng, being new to Zhuzhou City, might not know the location of Bangpeng Street, and was about to give him directions.

To everyone's surprise, as soon as Wu Mingcheng heard the location, he stepped on the gas and sped off.

It was nearly midnight, and there weren't many people left on Bang Peng Street. Many restaurants and roadside stalls had already closed up shop.

Wu Mingcheng slowly drove over, and they began to search slowly along the street.

Suddenly, Li Dawei saw Chen Xincheng's car parked outside a small restaurant.

He quickly spoke up.

"Mingcheng, Master is over there,"

Wu Mingcheng and his companion quickly got out of the car and rushed into the small restaurant.

At this point, there were no other customers in the restaurant. Chen Xincheng was drunk and slumped over the table.

The boss was patting him on the shoulder, trying to wake him up.

"Sir, sir, go home and sleep. We need to close up shop."

Unexpectedly, Chen Xincheng pushed his hand away, turned over, and continued sleeping.

The boss was immediately at a loss.

"Oh my god, what are we going to do?"

After Wu Mingcheng entered, he immediately noticed Chen Xincheng, who was slumped over the table.

He rushed over and gently pushed it.

"Uncle Chen? Uncle Chen?"

The boss felt as if he had seen a savior.

"Sir, do you know him? Is he in trouble? He's drunk about a pound of liquor by himself."

Upon hearing this, Li Dawei said irritably,

"No, you'll just give it to him if he asks? What if something goes wrong after drinking it? Will you take responsibility?"

Wu Mingcheng reached out to stop him, saying that now was not the time to talk about these things, and then turned to Li Dawei and said...

"Alright, that's enough. Dawei, carry Uncle Chen to the car first."

Then, Wu Mingcheng asked again,
