In his past and present lives, he had never been on guard against her.

Even when I watched him leave the house as usual the next day, I could clearly feel a little panic in my heart.

As a famous general who had fought on the battlefield, he actually trusted his sixth sense very much, and his first reaction was to keep the person.

But when I saw her say with anticipation that she wanted to go and buy some things for the wedding herself, it was hard to stop her.

The two have been in a good relationship these days and really look like a couple about to get married.

He didn't want them to quarrel again over such a small matter, and he didn't want her to think that he would not let her leave the house.

Finally, he smiled and advised: "Just walk around the city, don't go too far."

Xie Wan Ning naturally agreed and waved goodbye to him with a smile.

…………

Lu Ziyan was a little upset the whole day.

As the year was coming to an end, there were indeed a lot of military affairs to deal with. He suppressed his irritability and worked until the afternoon. He could no longer hold back and called Ming Jian to come in.

"Is she back?"

As soon as he heard the word "she", Ming Jian reacted and shook his head, saying, "Not yet... How about I go and urge her?"

"... Never mind," Lu Ziyan waved his hand, "Notify me immediately when he returns."

Ming Jian bowed and agreed, and was about to leave when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside the door, which sounded chaotic.

Lu Ziyan is very strict with his subordinates. In an important place like the study, it is impossible for them to panic like this unless something extremely big happened.

His face suddenly darkened.

Shen Leng's expression changed drastically after hearing the words of the person who came, "What did you say!"

"I am incompetent and lost Miss Xie," the guard knelt on the ground, his forehead covered with sweat in the cold winter, repeating what he had just said, "The lady went into a clothing store, and it was inconvenient for several men to follow her in, so we waited outside, but she didn't come out for a long time... When we went in to look for her, she was gone."

"But was he kidnapped by thieves?" Lu Ziyan stood up suddenly, "How long have you been waiting outside? Is the store surrounded?"

"There were no signs of thieves, and there was no fight inside. The clothing store has no back door. The store owner said..."

The guard's face showed a flash of hesitation, but after being scolded by Lu Ziyan, he said, "It is said that Miss Xie chose a coarse cotton coat and left on her own."

The winter in the north is extremely cold, and everyone is wrapped up tightly from head to toe. It is also the end of the year, so the clothing stores are doing very good business.

Xie Wan Ning considered it for a few days and finally decided to leave in this way.

In a busy clothing store, under the watchful eyes of several guards, he changed into the most inconspicuous clothes and just left.

This method is simple, but it has the biggest advantage.

That is, Lu Ziyan was not on guard against her, and the guards were also not on guard against her.

They followed her out to do some shopping, not to bring the prisoner out to protect her from the storm and prevent her from escaping.

So, she just slipped away.

The expression on Lu Ziyan's face froze for a moment, as if he couldn't understand what "leaving on his own" meant.

The room fell into a brief silence, and the sweat on the forehead of the guard who was kneeling on the ground to report finally dripped down.

Ming Jian's back was stiff and he felt a little uneasy. Just as he was about to say something, he saw the man standing upright next to the desk suddenly let out a low laugh.

The laughter was low, suppressing countless emotions, and it made people shudder.

Lu Ziyan sighed as if talking to himself: "She ran away..." (End of this chapter)
