When the call didn't go through, Jing Li seemed to have resigned herself to her fate and persuaded herself to give up her unrealistic fantasies.

Huo Qiran stayed at the airport until her flight took off, and he did not leave.

On the way back, he received a call from his tutor and answered several questions related to the experimental data.

The instructor didn't say anything more, nor did he urge him to go back to the laboratory. Huo Qiran's car still drove towards the direction where he was sitting in the laboratory.

But when he was approaching the laboratory, Huo Qiran couldn't hold back and dialed another phone number.

"Uncle Yao, it's me."

Yao Qi on the other end of the phone immediately became alert, "What's the matter with you kid?"

Huo Qiran burst into laughter, "Why, do I have to have something to do with you?"

"You and your mother have the same virtues. If you don't have trouble, why are you looking for me?" Yao Qi's temper has not changed for many years. He is not polite to Mu Qian and is equally rude to her son.

Huo Qiran coughed and said, "Then I really have something to ask you..."

"explain."

Huo Qiran said: "I have a phone number here. I want to check the owner of this number. Can you help?"

"Why are you asking me for this matter?" Yao Qi said, "Wouldn't it be faster and more efficient to ask your uncle?"

"After all, it's a private matter." Huo Qiran said, "And my uncle has been busy with a lot of things recently..."

"Your uncle has a lot to do, but I don't have a lot to do, right?"

"This matter is not urgent." Huo Qiran said hurriedly, "Uncle Yao, you can handle it whenever you have time. I can wait."

Yao Qi snorted and hung up the phone.

Although he did not express his position clearly, Huo Qiran knew that his reaction was an agreement.

Sure enough, within two days, Huo Qiran received the news and information from Yao Qi.

Huo Qiran saw a photo when he opened the profile. The person in the photo was unfamiliar to him, but the name next to the photo instantly made Huo Qiran's heart beat faster.

Jing Yanting.

There are not many people named Jing in Tongcheng, but people named Jing will call Jing Li...

Huo Qiran quickly looked at the information at the bottom, but only saw that this person named Jing Yanting was working on a construction site in the west of the city. He had food and accommodation at the construction site and rarely left the construction site. He was taciturn and had no relatives or friends. Other than that,

Other than that, there are no further details.

Huo Qiran looked at the photo again.

The man in the photo is thin and haggard, with disheveled hair, stubble on his face, and dark skin, and his true appearance is almost invisible.

Huo Qiran couldn't tell whether he and Jing Li were similar, but when he saw the familiar mobile phone number on the information, Huo Qiran couldn't help but take out his mobile phone, pressed the series of numbers, hesitated for a moment, and dialed it

.

The phone rang for a while and finally someone picked up the phone.

"Hello?" The voice of the person on the other end of the phone was as rough as if it had been sanded, and it was also very deep, with no emotion at all.

"Hello." Huo Qiran tried to speak, "Is this Mr. Jing?"

The other end of the phone suddenly became silent. After a few seconds of silence, the call was hung up.

Huo Qiran stared at the phone that quickly returned to the desktop for a moment, stood up decisively, took her car keys and went out.

As soon as the car drove out of Huo's house, Huo Qiran received a video call from Jing Li.

"What are you doing?" Jing Li was preparing to have dinner. When she saw him sitting in the car, she couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you get off work early today? Are you going home now, or are you going out to eat?"

"Getting ready to go out for dinner." Huo Qiran told a little lie, and then asked her, "What are you eating tonight?"

Jing Li showed him her dinner, "I ordered a takeaway. I wanted something spicy, but Stewart couldn't eat it, so we both ate our own."

Huo Qiran smiled slightly and asked: "Is it delicious?"

"Not bad." Jing Li said, "What are you eating tonight?"

Huo Qiran said: "Probably...it's barbecue again."

"Barbecue again?" Jing Li couldn't help laughing, "Why do the people in your laboratory love barbecue so much?"

The two of them chatted like this. Huo Qiran stopped the car, looked up at the desolate construction site in front of him, and then said to Jing Li: "I'm here. I'll talk to you when I get home tonight?"

"Have you arrived at the place to eat?" Jing Li suddenly asked.

Huo Qiran responded.

"Okay then." Jing Li said quickly, "Then you have a good dinner, I have to go out and take out the trash too."

After hanging up the phone, Huo Qiran looked at the blue construction site door in front of him again.

It was dinner time at the moment, and workers occasionally came in and out of the gate in twos and threes. Some had just come out, while others were coming in after buying something from outside.

Soon Huo Qiran saw a lone figure, tall, thin, and walking very slowly. He was carrying a transparent bag containing a disposable lunch box in his hand, and he was covered in dirt and walked slowly from a distance.

There are other workers on the road, and they always say hello when they meet, but when they pass by him, not only does no one say hello to him, but everyone even unconsciously takes two steps away to avoid the route he passes.

The man didn't raise his head the whole time, as if the people around him were transparent. He just walked his own way, and finally reached the blue door.

Huo Qiran sat in the stalled car the whole time, quietly observing his every move. It wasn't until he was about to disappear from his sight that he opened the door and got out of the car, shouting at the figure in the back: "Jing Yanting.

"

The figure paused suddenly, then slowly turned around.

At the same time, the workers near the gate also cast curious glances at Huo Qiran, probably because they couldn't imagine who would come looking for such a person.

Jing Yanting's eyes seemed not to be well. After seeing Huo Qiran, he took a few steps forward stiffly. He stopped when he was only two or three meters away from Huo Qiran.

When he saw Huo Qiran's appearance clearly, his slightly squinted eyes instantly opened in shock, and at the same time he took two steps back uncontrollably.

The road behind him was uneven. As he was retreating, he stepped on a stone. He staggered and suddenly fell heavily to the ground. The lunch box he was carrying also fell out and scattered on the ground.

But he no longer cared about the lunch box. He stood up, turned around and walked inside, his footsteps hurried, leaving only one sentence: "You got the wrong person."

"I didn't recognize the wrong person." Huo Qiran said from behind him, "I don't know you, I just called out a name, and you took the initiative to walk towards me. You know me, that means I guessed correctly... You are Jing Li
