Chapter 1268 Comrade Xiao Xu, my chapter is here!

Old Zhao left, but the people in Jiangning all sprang into action.

The Sichuan girl was articulate and quickly explained her needs to Miss Yuan. Upon hearing this, Miss Yuan looked at the two of them speechlessly and said, "No, you two really have a lot of things to do. You come to me for everything. Do you think I'm Aladdin's genie?"

Upon hearing this, Director Wang cautiously raised his hand: "Sister Yuan, it's Aladdin's lamp!"

Miss Yuan: "Do I need you to tell me? Get the hell out of here. What, you have something to say too?"

Director Wang: "After Lao Mo told me about Lao Zhao's itinerary, I took the next available flight to confirm his location!"

Miss Yuan:

"You guys are really bored! Can't you do something meaningful? Like going to Mo Zai's hometown to have some fun!"

"Forget it, I've had the worst luck imaginable. You can use any of my connections you have!"

In response, the Sichuan girl immediately turned into a lackey, massaging Miss Yuan's legs: "Hey, who told you that Sister Yuan is our only connection in Jiangning?"

We're all from out of town, we've traveled a long way here, and we're all alone and helpless. We're suffering so much!

"Go away, go away, go lick it somewhere else. You tell Mozi, if he dares to stand me up again after we've done all this, I'll let him know what the consequences of a stroke of luck are!" Miss Yuan spat as she took out her phone.

Soon, she made two phone calls in a row to explain the situation.

Seeing this, Liu Ruyan asked the girl from Sichuan, "Are you planning to go to another place to find someone?"

"That's right, the gift hasn't been delivered yet. Lao Mo, the three of us each contributed some money to give Lao Zhao a surprise. People always need something to look forward to, right?" Chuan Mei said with a smile.

Just then, Miss Yuan finished her call and turned to the two of them, saying, "Alright, I've given the instructions. We'll have the results soon. You two can go to the airport or the high-speed rail station to prepare!"

Upon hearing this, Chuanmei immediately stood up excitedly and said, "It's all thanks to Sister Yuan. I can't thank you enough. In the future, no matter if it's a matter of life and death, just say the word and Lao Mo will definitely do his best. If he dares to utter even a single word of dissent, I'll hang him up and whip him!"

Wang nodded repeatedly: "Me too!"

Liu Ruyan:

Miss Yuan:

"Neither of you dares to swear an oath in your own name!"

"Otherwise, you guys could have gotten along better!" Liu Ruyan shook her head helplessly.

But the two girls from Sichuan didn't care about anything else and turned around and ran away. They were going to complete their mission.

Seeing this, Liu Ruyan said helplessly, "You're just going to join in their nonsense too!"

Upon hearing this, Miss Yuan rolled her eyes at him: "What do you mean by nonsense? Do you think I wanted this? They went out to play without me. If Mozi hadn't come over and asked me, I wouldn't have cared."

Why don't you take over? You can handle these things too, it just takes a little effort.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan waved her hands repeatedly and laughed, "Then forget it. My brother didn't come to me, but to you, so he must trust you!"

She overheard Yuan Meng's phone call earlier. Although she could solve these problems herself, it wasn't as convenient for her as it was for Yuan Meng, since Yuan Meng has connections.

Besides, it's better to let Yuan Meng, who loves to have fun, join in on this kind of thing; she can just wait for the outcome from the sidelines.

Meanwhile, Lin Mo drove back to Nancheng quickly. Without calling his parents, he went straight upstairs to the apartment complex, didn't even enter the house, and just took off the "Safe Entry and Exit" sign from the door and left.

Even the two elderly people didn't know he had returned. Lin Mo rushed back almost without stopping.

When he returned, he received a message from Director Wang that he had already boarded the plane, and Miss Yuan had found out Old Zhao's itinerary. He hadn't returned to Harbin, but had gone to the capital of Liaoning Province. Upon seeing this, he understood after a moment's thought: Old Zhao had gone back to the place where he and Xu Ying used to work.

Chuanmei boarded the same flight as Director Wang. Although they were going to the same destination, they had different tasks. Director Wang was responsible for confirming Lao Zhao's whereabouts, while Chuanmei was assigned to handle other matters.

After Lin Mo returned, he went straight to the studio and found Miss Yuan.

"Sister Yuan, I have a small favor to ask you!" Lin Mo said as he entered.

Upon hearing this, Miss Yuan rolled her eyes at him and said, "That's enough, okay? Do you really think your sister Yuan is my production team's donkey?"

"No, no, no, this is really a small matter. It's just that I'm too busy to handle it right now. Once this is over, I'll definitely make sure to arrange everything clearly for Sister Yuan when I come home," Lin Mo said, clasping his hands together in a gesture of respect.

Upon hearing this, Miss Yuan's expression softened slightly: "Alright, tell me, what is it?"

"Well, I have to go to Liaoning Province. I need to ask Sister Yuan to help me find a tow truck for my car, Chuanmei's Cadillac, and your tank. I'll send you a message and ask you to tow them to the designated location," Lin Mo said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Miss Yuan nodded: "That's a small matter. Is there anything else?"

"That's all, Sister Yuan. We're so grateful, we won't thank you enough. From now on, no matter what, just say the word and Director Wang and Chuanzi will do their best. If either of them dares to utter a single word of dissent, I'll hang them up and whip them!"

Miss Yuan:

"You three are really birds of a feather!"

Lin Mo: "What's wrong?"

Miss Yuan: "Get out!"

"okay!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo took off running. He returned home, briefly told Liu Ruyan where he had been for the past two days, changed into the suit that Liu Ruyan had personally tailored for him, and then ran off.

"Be careful!" Liu Ruyan called out from the living room upon seeing this.

Lin Mo: "Got it!"

After he finished speaking, there was the sound of the elevator closing. He then headed straight for the city's high-speed rail station, intending to catch up. He definitely couldn't take a plane; he had sworn a solemn oath that if he ever did, he would be a dog.

Fortunately, with Director Wang and his group going ahead, he still had plenty of time. After all, he knew from Lao Zhao's itinerary that the guy would need to transfer stations along the way, so Director Wang and his group would definitely land before Lao Zhao.

Soon, it was past four in the afternoon. Old Zhao finally returned to the place where his dreams had been shattered. He walked out of the station and, as usual, hailed a taxi, heading straight for an old residential area.

After Xu Ying left, he stayed here by himself for two months. He locked himself in the room, did not communicate with anyone, and rarely ate or drank. If his mother hadn't come during that time, he might have died here long ago.

Later, his mother forcibly took him back to his hometown, but at his insistence, he still rented the house there, which still showed traces of their life together.

When Lao Zhao opened the door to his rented room, which he hadn't returned to for more than half a year, he was very calm this time. He turned on the light, and there was a noticeable layer of dust inside.

Looking at the familiar furnishings, he couldn't help but chuckle and say, "Comrade Xiao Xu, I'm back!"
