Qin Yang went fast, and in less than half an hour, Lin Chuxia heard the sound of a motorcycle again.
Qin Yang returned, bringing along Jia Liang and a worker from the Bun Shop.
The worker wasn’t exactly a young lad either; he had a large face and thick neck, around 40 years old, named Lu Dafa.
"Xiaxia, has your elder sister returned?"
Upon seeing Lin Chuxia, Qin Yang asked first.
It was already dark at this point, and if they went shopping with the kids, they should have returned by now.
Lin Chuxia shook her head, her face showing mounting concern.
"Mr. Lin, let’s just go inside and see for ourselves. If they have nothing to hide, they won’t stop us from entering," Jia Liang was the most experienced with this type of situation.
"Let’s go and check again."
They wouldn’t feel at ease today until they saw their elder sister.
Lin Chuxia took the prepared foods brought by Jia Liang and knocked on the Zhang Family’s door again with Qin Yang.
Zhang Wenbin was clearly bewildered when he saw Qin Yang and Lin Chuxia appearing at the door again.
"Qin... Qin Yang, why have you come back again?"
Lin Chuxia scanned several rooms. It was dark now and the lights were on in the house.
The room on the west side was pitch black, and based on the usual layout of a household, with three main rooms: the east is where Mrs. Zhang and Old Master Zhang stayed, the west should be Zhang Wenbin and Qin Juan’s room.
"Oh, I bought some prepared foods on the way, thinking elder sister would like this, so I brought some over for you. Has elder sister not returned yet?"
"Oh, that’s very kind of you. Your elder sister hasn’t returned yet."
While Zhang Wenbin spoke, he did not invite them into the house.
Lin Chuxia and the others didn’t think much earlier, knowing that the elder sister wasn’t home and didn’t plan to stay long.
Now that they thought about it, even though Zhang Wenbin verbally invited them in earlier, Mrs. Zhang and he were blocking the way completely, clearly not intending to let them in.
"It’s so late and she hasn’t returned yet, does the brother-in-law know which shopping center elder sister took Ningning to? I can have Qin Yang go look for them since it’s already dark."
"There’s no need for Qin Yang to go, I was just about to go myself, I’ll go find them now," Zhang Wenbin said and then went to push his bicycle.
Mrs. Zhang also added from behind, "Exactly, it’s so late. I told you to go look for them earlier, but you insisted on finishing the news broadcast. Is the TV more important than people?"
"Mom, I’m wrong, I’ll go find them now."
Zhang Wenbin displayed an agreeable demeanor.
Lin Chuxia directly pulled Qin Yang along, "Then, please go find them quickly, brother-in-law. Qin Yang and I will wait inside."
Zhang Wenbin was startled, "Isn’t Qin Yang coming with me? It’d be faster if the two of us looked together?"
Mrs. Zhang also guarded the doorway, laughing along, "Indeed, it’s faster together. It’s such a big place, who knows where she might have gone?"
At this moment, Qin Yang’s expression had completely cooled down, "Where exactly has my elder sister gone?"
