Stealing Your Heart

Stealing Your Heart Chapter 673

The first forty-eight hours were almost up. Could a person even survive that long, or would we end up with a corpse?

Captain Song took his hat off and sighed deeply.

“Don’t lose hope, dad.” That was all one could muster to say like that. Despite saying those words, she still couldn’t help sighing when she saw the sun rising from the East.

They reached a crossroad soon after. The route to the West was broader and would be further split into different routes down the road. It would be more difficult to search that region.

Su Zhan offered, “I’ll take some men and take that route.”

Captain Song nodded before assigning extra men to Su Zhan. That didn’t discourage Su Zhan from walking down that route several times and exhausting himself. He later sat on a plank with his feet bare while water dripped down.

Zong Jinghao headed over when morning rolled by. He asked Su Zhan if the latter found any clues.

Su Zhan shook his head and braced himself for the worst. “Maybe…”

“No,” insisted Zong Jinghao, “We haven’t found his body yet, but that doesn’t mean that he drowned. Someone could have rescued him. When we pull the car out of the water, we saw that the window was intact, and the door was closed. As I’m sure you know, the pressure of the water would’ve kept the door closed. His corpse wasn’t in the car, so my guess is that he jumped out of the car before it fell into the water. I don’t think he ever sunk with the car in the first place.”

Zong Jinghao’s words made perfect sense, but there was still one question that was bugging Su Zhan. “If he had survived, why haven’t we found him despite the fact that we’ve expanded our search to this extent and covered so much ground?”

His question left Zong Jinghao speechless.

Su Zhan was right. If he had survived, why haven’t we found him?

Just then, the phone in Su Zhan’s pocket rang. He fished it out and saw that the call was from Qin Ya.

Su Zhan picked it up. “Hello, Ya.”

“Have you found him?” asked Qin Ya.

Su Zhan was in a hurry when he returned, so he never went to see how Qin Ya was. He simply called her to tell her about Shen Peichuan’s issue. She must be calling because she’s worried sick.

“Not yet,” replied Su Zhan.

“Maybe I should head over…”
