Qin Jiao’s fingertips turned ice-cold.

Her mind was a mess, but she was rational enough to know that finding Xiao Shi was the most important thing right now.

So, when Shen Yi had her get on the motorcycle and wrap her arms around his waist, Qin Jiao didn’t refuse. She was just a little quiet.

Shen Yi thought she was worried about her sister and tried to comfort her. "Don’t worry. Transportation isn’t very developed yet, so she definitely couldn’t have gone far. After we reported it, the train and bus stations were notified. There’s no way she could have escaped from there."

Qin Jiao lowered her gaze.

’That’s right,’ she thought. ’Transportation isn’t developed now, but it will be in the future. There will be planes in the sky, huge ships on the water, and high-speed trains that can travel three or four hundred kilometers per hour.’

’Because Shen Yi was also reborn, this life he had his parents divorce early. After leaving that scumbag father, his mom started a new life ahead of schedule. That way, she wouldn’t be tormented to death by that relationship like she was in their last life.’

’Mr. Du also started actively cooperating with his treatment and even agreed to go back to North City with them.’

And Shen Yi’s feelings for her... Qin Jiao subconsciously tightened her grip on Shen Yi’s clothes. Objectively speaking, for the past year, Shen Yi had been very good to her and her family.

For example, now that something had happened to Xiao Shi, he had immediately taken her out on his motorcycle to search for her.

’But why is Shen Yi really doing all this? Is he genuinely good to me, or is it for some other reason?’

The sky gradually darkened, but Qin Jiao’s thoughts were like a tangled ball of yarn, impossible to sort out.

In the end, she decided to stop thinking about Shen Yi for the time being.

Right now, she had to find Xiao Shi first. Everything else could wait.

Qin Jiao patted Shen Yi on the back of his waist and said loudly, "Gaozhuang, Wang Village, Li Jiatun, and the Lin Family Shop. The first three are bus stops. Xiao Shi got off at one of those three."

Shen Yi said, "Those three stops are all before your old home. Your mom and the others must have taken people to search for her, right?"

"Yeah, but they haven’t found her yet. I called them after filing the police report, and that’s what they said. Which means Xiao Shi isn’t in any of those three places."

"Then what about the Lin Family Shop?" Shen Yi asked, a little confused.

Although Qin Jiao knew Shen Yi was also reborn, she didn’t want him to know that she had come back from that same time as well.

’Of course, she had already made up her mind. As soon as the college entrance exams were over, her family would move. The only connection between them in the future would be Aunt Du’s investment in her family’s restaurant.’

Qin Jiao said, "I have a bad feeling about this. My family doesn’t usually offend people, and there aren’t any kidnappers or bad people in Ping’an Town. But I’ve offended someone before. I’m worried they’re behind this."

"Who did you offend?"

"Lin Nian."

The motorcycle HUMMED, but there were so few people on the road that Shen Yi could clearly hear what Qin Jiao was saying.

Sitting on the back of the motorcycle, Qin Jiao said in a calm voice, "Do you remember that time during the summer break of our second year of high school, when Lin Nian tried to get us to sleep in the same room? She started hating me back then. At first, I didn’t understand why, but then one day, Lin Nian saw Chen Feng asking me about a school problem. She found me in private later and told me that Chen Feng belonged to her and that I couldn’t steal him."

"I told her I didn’t like Chen Feng. But Lin Nian just laughed like a maniac and said she’d dreamed of a book. A book about our town. She even said that in the book, you and Chen Feng were a couple. I called her a lunatic, but she just said she would steal everything from me, including but not limited to men. That she would have a better life than me, and that she would become the wife of the richest man."

Shen Yi was so startled that if he hadn’t been holding the handlebars tightly, he would have driven the motorcycle right into the grassy ditch beside them.
