TSFLIP Chapter 85

In the end, this disagreement, which was not a debate, concluded with Feng Guang’s victory. She and An Tong went to the police station in the An family car. The person who called An Tong was a scruffy-looking man named Li Bi, who appeared to be in his thirties. Despite his disheveled appearance, there was a sharpness in his eyes that could not be underestimated.

An Tong was to be questioned alone, so Feng Guang had to wait outside the office on a chair.

“Mr. An,” Li Bi said, looking at the young man sitting across from him, “we received a report from your mother’s colleague. Your mother has been missing for a week. Of course, you shouldn’t jump to conclusions. I’m here to ask if you had any contact with your mother in the past week.”

“No,” An Tong replied, frowning. “My mother said she was going on a business trip for a month. She’s often very busy and sometimes forgets to call me.”

“So, even if she didn’t contact you this week, you wouldn’t find it unusual,” Li Bi noted, taking notes. “According to our records, you live with your mother, and your father divorced her and went abroad when you were very young.”

“Yes, my mother raised me.”

Li Bi sighed, “Being a single mother is not easy.”

“Officer,” An Tong said, his dark eyes calm and reserved, “I’d like to know how you’re currently classifying my mother’s disappearance.”

“For now, it’s classified as a missing persons case. We currently only know that we can’t reach Ms. An. According to her colleagues, she’s not the type to leave without leaving any information. I might be overstating, but…” Li Bi hesitated, “until we find a body, we can’t classify this as a criminal case.”

“I understand.” Despite his troubled expression, An Tong was different from other family members who might be in distress. He didn’t cry or make a scene but remained enveloped in a quiet aura, staying within his world and not showing his worries.

Li Bi had been staring at him for a moment when he first saw him in a wheelchair. Now, feeling somewhat awkward, he cleared his throat, “Mr. An, if you receive any news about your mother in the next few days, please inform us. Also, please wait for further updates from us. Once we discover something, I will let you know. You may go now.”

An Tong nodded politely and wheeled himself out of the office. As soon as he emerged, the young woman who had been sitting immediately ran over to him.

“How is it? What happened? Is it difficult to resolve?”

Her three rapid-fire questions showed her anxiety. In this situation, being cared for was a significant comfort. An Tong looked at her, his concern slightly alleviated, though it was barely perceptible. He said in a heavy tone, “My mother is missing.”

“Missing? What does that mean…”

He thought for a moment, “I suppose ‘missing’ is a more appropriate term.”

Feng Guang was momentarily at a loss for words.

Hey, system, wasn’t this supposed to be a light-hearted campus story? This plot is turning into a suspense drama!

System: “The world is unstable. The target’s corruption level is at a critical point, deviating from the expected plot. Please adjust your strategy accordingly.”

What the heck!

She mentally cursed, not expecting that An Tong was at the critical point of corruption. This meant she couldn’t even be sure if he was already corrupted. Corruption of the target usually increases the difficulty of the pursuit and poses personal risks. This was her first encounter with a target who was supposed to be corrupted from the start!

Feng Guang silently wept inside, regretting her bold declaration to pursue him. She thought she should focus on surviving first before worrying about anything else.
