823 A Motley Crew

Ye Jian looked at the time on the wall clock. It was almost time to leave.

Today was the day of her duel with Luo Ran. Now, she needed to go to the back alley of the pub to meet him.

Amidst the happy voices singing happy birthday, Ye Jian found Wang Jin accurately and came beside him. She whispered, I have some things to do so I need to leave for a moment. Ill come back later.

Okay. Ill leave a big piece of cake for you to rub on Yang Hengs face. Wang Jin didnt know that Ye Jian was going out for a duel. He thought that she would be back in a short while so he didnt ask her for any details. He was thinking about how to sneak an attack on Yang Heng later so he didnt even notice when Ye Jian left.

Ye Jian took ten darts with her when she left. She realized that this was quite suitable to use as a weapon.

After the lights lit up and the cake was cut, no one ate the cake. Everyone started playing with their cakes by rubbing it on other peoples faces.

Yang Heng was in the worst state. Even his eyebrows were stained with cake.

Ye Jian left? Did she say where she was going? Why didnt you ask her to stay and wait for me to go over first? When Yang Heng heard what Wang Jin said, he frowned. A piece of cream even dropped down his eyebrows when he frowned. After he asked this question, he realized that he said the wrong thing. He patted Wang Jins shoulder and continued before Wang Jin could reply, I was a little anxious, sorry.

Wang Jin replied hurriedly, Its alright. I know you well. Since a young lady said that she needed to leave for a little while, I didnt probe further. She said that she will come back in a while.

No one knows when she will come back.

How long was a while? Ye Jian didnt say so no one knew the answer.

Yang Heng carefully recalled Ye Jians expressions during the day. No matter how he recalled, he didnt notice anything amiss with her expression.

She played darts happily, she laughed happily, and she even ignored Yao Jings provocation. She always managed to refute Yao Jing easily and caused Yao Jing to be on the losing end.

If she didnt leave because she was unhappy. Then she most probably left because of personal matters.

She left? No one knows why she left? When Mother Yang knew about this, she furrowed her brows slightly. Old Yang, do you think that the child noticed Yao Jing was targeting her so she left because she felt unhappy?

She paused for a moment and sighed. I also said something wrong too. I dont know if the child felt uncomfortable because of it.

She told everyone her genuine mistake. Yang Heng immediately said, Mom, dont worry about this. She wont take it to heart. If she hasnt come back after the celebration ends, Ill go and look for her.

She shouldnt have gone too far. Maybe she really has some urgent matters to attend to. I think that the child knows her ground. Both of you dont have to worry about her. Half an hour later, if she hasnt come back, Ill send people to check on her. Commissioner Yang trusted Ye Jian. A young lady that was able to help the police solve a huge case must be someone with good critical thinking skills. Normally, a child like this wouldnt place herself in a dangerous situation.

He rather believed that she really had urgent matters to attend to and didnt leave because she was unhappy.

It was close to 10 pm. At this time, the city wasnt as lively as it would be in ten years. There werent many cars or people on the road. If you walked on the streets, you would notice that the cars could travel at twice the speed as compared to day time.

Ye Jian walked naturally after she came out of the hotel. The people behind her followed her at a steady pace too.
