The police behind them continued their discussion, while the coffee paper cups on the table were reflected on the window. Through the glass, he felt the cold outside.
"President Di, it's getting late. I'll have someone drive you back," Xie Mingxia said, walking over from his chair.
The other colleagues were so tired their eyelashes were almost touching their lower lids. Yawns seemed contagious; as one person yawned, another would follow suit.
It had been over ten hours. Their tired work yielded no results.
Di Mingjue turned back to look at everyone's bleary eyes and realized how late it was. "No need, I drove myself."
"Don't worry, President Di. We'll notify you immediately if there are any developments here," Xie Mingxia said, stepping aside to clear the way.
Under everyone's gaze, Di Mingjue walked out of the conference room.
As soon as he stepped out, he saw Ye Chenhan fast asleep on a chair in the lobby.
"Fourth Young Master!" Xie Mingxia hurried over and shook Ye Chenhan's shoulder.
Startled, Ye Chenhan's eyes snapped open, nearly making him fall off the chair.
Looking up, he saw Di Mingjue standing tall before him. "Leaving?"
"You haven't gone back?" Di Mingjue asked him.
"Nope." Ye Chenhan covered his mouth, letting out a loud yawn. "If you haven't left, how could I?"
No matter what, Ye Ziyu was part of their Ye family. Even though she was married to Di Mingjue, the Ye family still had to step forward if anything happened to her. Especially now, kidnapped by Gu Xiuyu and her whereabouts unknown. How could they let Di Mingjue worry alone?
Ye Chenhan took his coat from Xie Mingxia, which had fallen to the ground, and put it back on. He took his car keys from his pocket. "Going back to the Ye residence?"
"Mhmm," Di Mingjue nodded and started walking out.
Driving away from the police station, Di Mingjue sat in the passenger seat without a word the entire way.
Several times, Ye Chenhan glanced at him, but Di Mingjue's eyes were wide open, fixed straight ahead, unmoving.
Was he not tired?
Curiosity surged within him. During a red light, Ye Chenhan turned to look at him. "Mingjue, if you don't rest, your body won't be able to take it. We're in for a long fight with Gu Xiuyu. If you collapse, I won't be able to handle it alone."
He knew Di Mingjue's capabilities, but he couldn't fathom the mind of a pervert like Gu Xiuyu, nor could he predict his actions. xxs壹贰
"Green light," Di Mingjue said.
Ye Chenhan blinked in surprise. When he looked back, the red light had indeed turned green.
Fifteen minutes later, the two arrived at the Ye residence. The Ye residence was dark inside and out, appearing exceptionally tranquil under the gentle drizzle.
Di Mingjue remained seated in the car, hesitating to unbuckle his seatbelt.
"Mingjue, we're here," Ye Chenhan said, knocking on the car window to remind him. After parking the car, he got out and opened the main gate of the Ye residence, only to find Di Mingjue still inside the car.
The car window rolled down from the inside. Di Mingjue glanced at the interior of the Ye residence. "You go in first. I'll sit here a bit longer."
"Alright then. Come in and rest early. You still have to go to the police station tomorrow morning," Ye Chenhan reminded him.
The car window rolled up, and Di Mingjue fell silent.
He wasn't listening to Ye Chenhan's words, so he stopped trying to persuade him. Yawning, he walked tiredly into the living room.
As he turned on the lights, he was startled to see Ye Shaoting sitting on the sofa.
"Big, Big Brother?" Ye Chenhan looked at Ye Shaoting, who remained motionless. Seeing that his brother was awake, he breathed a sigh of relief. "Big Brother, why are you sitting here instead of resting?"
"You were with him the entire time?"
"You mean Mingjue?"
Ye Chenhan walked over and sat beside him.
"He's sitting in the car and will come in shortly."
