Chapter 157: Trust Your Husband!

Ryan still couldn't get over Irina's kiss this morning. It really left a strong impression on him. Her lips were really soft and they tasted incredibly delicious.

Since he had no urgent work, Ryan wanted to make out with Irina.

Ryan smiled all the way to Irina's room. But he was shocked when he opened the door and saw that there was no one inside.

It was rare to see Irina not in her office at this hour. Was she in a meeting?

Ryan then sat on Irina's chair and decided to wait for her here.

"The meeting took a long time, I feel like I'm slowly rotting here." After waiting for half an hour, Ryan had read all the documents that were on Irina's desk but the woman hadn't arrived at all.

"I'll just look for her," Ryan had no choice but to come to Irina in the meeting room. 

However, when he got to the meeting room, he saw nobody in the room.

Ryan suddenly had a bad feeling. Where was Irina? If she was not in a meeting, why wasn't she in her office? Did she go to another company?

The frown in his forehead deepened when he saw Irina's secretary coming out of one of the rooms.

"Did you see Irina?" Ryan asked.

"No, sir. Wasn't Mrs. Irina not coming in today?" The secretary frowned. "I've called her cellphone but she didn't pick my call. I thought she left it at home or was turned off,"

She didn't come?

Ryan's bad feeling grew bigger. If Irina didn't come today, why did she say she'd come into the office?

There was only one answer in his mind— Irina left him!

Ryan wasted no time and immediately ran towards the exit.

"Sir, what's wrong?" Irina's secretary was really confused to see Ryan suddenly run away. The man ignored him and hurried to the elevator. His heart was filled with anxiety. If his wife really left him, she would definitely take her belongings from their house!

Ryan quickly ran towards their house, moving like a light. People on the street could only see a black shadow passing them, not knowing what it was.

Without stopping for a second and not caring about his body, Ryan managed to reach his house.

When he entered the living room, there was nothing. Everything was empty!

Ryan immediately ran upstairs and opened Irina's room, the room was also empty.

He got even more panicked and couldn't think straight, he didn't know where his wife had gone.

Ryan then sat on the sofa downstairs. At this moment, his eyes were fixed on a piece of paper on the table.

He reached for it and slowly picked it up. The neat writing turned out to be Irina's. 

'Thank you for all this time. I love you.'

Ryan was silent when he saw the writing. He was confused why Irina suddenly left him, he was really worried.

Finding her whereabouts was the most important thing right now. Where would Irina go?

'Ah, Mrs. Susan!'

Ryan suddenly remembered the old maid. She must know where Irina went. Ryan quickly ran to Mrs. Susan's room. However, the room was also empty.

Ryan really felt helpless. He then recalled his wife's strange behavior this morning. Why didn't he notice it?

Feeling his blood boil, Ryan clenched his fists. 

'I won't just let you go. Even if you go to the other side of the world, I will still find you!'

However, Ryan couldn't do all of this alone. He had to get help. He then thought of Elizabeth and Mia. Asking for their help would surely save his time. 

As he didn't know how to contact Elizabeth, Ryan decided to meet Mia. He would ask her for help and check the security cameras at airports and train stations.

Without hesitation, Ryan ran towards the police station where Mia was.

At the police station, two policemen were busy chatting. Ryan suddenly broke the entrance.

"Hey, you can't just break in," a policeman said with an angry face towards Ryan.

"I'm looking for Mia," Ryan said with a wobbling breath.

"She's here, who are you?" 

Ryan did not have time for this and immediately barged in.

"Hey, you can't enter carelessly," the two officers immediately pursued him. At this time, Ryan managed to find Mia.

"Ryan?" Mia was surprised when she saw Ryan's figure. Why was he here? 

The two cops then finally caught up with them. "This guy is looking for you and suddenly barging in without permission. Is he really an acquaintance of yours?"

"Yeah, he is my friend," Mia said while nodding.

Hearing Mia's response, the two officers returned to their original post. Then the young officer near them frowned.

What was the relationship between this unknown man and his crush?

"I'm asking you to find someone from the CCTV cameras, please," Ryan said.

Mia looked at Ryan, she knew that Ryan was in a hurry and looked worried. Without thinking, Mia nodded in agreement.

"Thank you!"

The young officer suddenly had a bad feeling as he watched them from the sideline. He had been chasing Mia and trying to win her heart for a long time but she never got a good response. The arrival of this unknown man made him jealous and was not willing to let Mia go.

Moreover, why did Mia's gaze look soft when she looked at that man?

The young man was getting more and more anxious.

"Mia, you shouldn't assist a stranger," Baron suddenly appeared.

"It's okay, this person is my friend. He has helped me with my tasks many times," Mia said while operating her computer.

"Whether he's your friend or not, you're still breaking the rules," Baron replied.

Mia looked at Baron and said in a cold tone, "I will take responsibility if there is a problem,"

Hearing Mia's cold words, Baron couldn't do anything at all.

Meanwhile, Ryan did not have the time and energy to deal with him. His mind and energy were now completely focused on finding Irina.

"At what time do you want to check the CCTV camera?" Mia asked. 

"From 8 AM. Check the airport cameras first," Ryan answered.

Mia then nodded. She used her authority and  the video from the Avalerion airport camera was successfully obtained. Ryan immediately glared at the video.

"It's useless if you want to check that with the naked eye. How could you find it in that sea of ​​people?" Baron said with a sarcastic tone.

Ryan didn't answer him, he was too focused on the video and didn't miss a single face. If Irina did leave town, she had only two ways— the airport and the train station. Still, leaving through the airport had the biggest possibility.

"Shush! Who told you to comment?" Mia raised her head, the look in her eyes was completely cold. Why was Baron still here?

"I'm just stating the obvious. It's like looking for a needle in the middle of a haystack," Baron sighed.

Ryan made absolutely no comment. He was still staring at the computer screen that was separated into many panels of security cameras. However, Mia advised Ryan to focus on the entrance. If the person he was looking for had actually gone through the airport then they would have appeared at the entrance camera.

"Who are you looking for?" Mia asked.

"Irina Hagrim," Ryan replied while continuing to glare at the screen.

Mia was surprised. Ryan was looking for the boss of the Avalerion company?

Hearing that, Baron was smiling. "Are you saying that the boss of the Avalerion company disappeared? You are really funny. If she really disappeared, wouldn't that be all over the news? Our office would have been full of reporters then,"

"Why are you still here? Go away," Mia was fed up, her beautiful face was painted with anger.

"I'm just telling the truth," Baron shook his head. However, seeing Ryan still not answering, he grew more and more agitated. "Truth does hurt sometimes,"

Mia gave a cold snort, but looking at Ryan didn't make any comment, she could only surrender.

"Ah, but I'm curious. What is your relationship with the most beautiful and strongest woman in this city?" Baron's ego was getting bigger because Ryan didn't fight him at all. "Could it be that she's your target too? And Irina tried to get away from you so she left this town?"

The fire of anger began to burn in Ryan's heart, but he had to focus on finding Irina's whereabouts. He simply didn't have time for a prick!

"Hahaha or could it be that you're her secret lover? And now that she is dissatisfied with you, she decided to run away. Are you trying to find her?" Baron laughed loudly but this time Ryan finally spoke.

"If one more word leaves your mouth, I will kill you," Ryan's killing aura started to leak!

The empty threat didn't scare Baron at all. He laughed instead. "I will be happy to see you try to kill me."

Hearing that, Ryan didn't fight back. Going idle made Baron become even more agitated. "I wonder why you are still chasing her? You even came to this place and searched so hard for her. Do you know why you can't find her? Because she dumped you!"

Baron laughed once again, however, he saw Ryan staring at him with the eyes of a hunting wolf. His laugh then instantly stopped.

Why was that man's gaze like a wild animal?

Baron suddenly shivered at that and before he realized it, Ryan suddenly moved in front of him!

The next second he realized Ryan had choked his neck with one of his hands, forcing a gag sound out of his throat. The man's strength really made the young policeman unable to breathe.

Baron felt like his neck was about to break, the hand that was squeezing his neck did not weaken at all.

CRACK!

It seemed like the sound of bones breaking would soon be heard. Baron was scared, he looked at Ryan with a panicked expression.

"Ryan!"

Mia quickly shouted, she was aware of Ryan's strength. The female officer was worried that Ryan would lose control again like before. The day he made her boss eat bullets that sent him to the hospital. But now was different. The altercation happened at the police headquarters and on top of that, he did it to one of the active members of the police force.

The policeman who ate the bullet, Lucas, had already left the hospital and resigned without explaining anything. And now Baron was in danger.

Ryan did not speak at all, he was seen hitting Baron in the stomach with his left hand. Baron felt his life was heading towards its end. The pain in his stomach was so sharp it almost numbed his senses.

Mia could feel Ryan's intention to kill Baron. She quickly held Ryan down and whispered in his ear, "Ryan please stop, think about Irina. You still have more important duties,"

Ryan didn't answer, he just looked at Baron. The other cops were on standby when they saw this scene. Some of them even pulled out their guns and aimed at Ryan.

Seeing Baron's pale face, Ryan let go of his grip. The young officer then fell hard on the floor.

Without saying anything, Ryan sat back down and glared at the computer screen. Mia finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Baron sat himself and was out of breath. He stared at Ryan's figure in horror as the man was enveloped in a terrifying aura. He felt that Ryan could kill him whenever he wanted.

Fear crept into Baron's eyes as the pain in his neck was still fresh. Not to mention that he felt like throwing up after Ryan landed a hard punch to his stomach earlier.

He then stood up with difficulty and left the place.

Ryan really didn't care about him, his eyes refocused on the screen.

At this time, half an hour had passed. Suddenly, Mia managed to find Irina's figure on the screen. "There she is!"

Ryan immediately noticed. A beautiful woman in her straw hat and a middle aged woman following her from behind.

Obviously, they were Irina and Mrs. Susan!

Ryan immediately felt excited, he finally found Irina!

"Can you check where they were going?" Ryan said as he looked at Mia.

"Wait a minute, I'll ask for it." 

Ryan waited patiently for that. Mia needed several calls to retain their flight details. After explaining the situation and using her authority as law enforcer, Mia was able to get the information.

"They both ordered tickets to Batavia," Mia said.

Of course they were going there, why didn't Ryan realize it at all?

"Are you going to chase her?" Mia looked at Ryan. She vaguely suspected that Irina was an important person in Ryan's life.

Nodding slowly, Ryan said, "Thank you for your help,"

"You have helped me many times and I couldn't be more grateful. Why are you thankful now?" Mia frowned. 

Ryan was a little surprised, he then smiled. "Then, next time let me treat you to eat,"

"Now that's just the Ryan I know," Mia said with a smile. 

Seeing Ryan leaving, Mia felt a storm would hit this city.

After leaving the police station, Ryan quickly ordered a ticket to Batavia. However, he suddenly thought about Kane.

Kane came with him to this city because of his grandfather's order. He didn't know how long he would be in Batavia, so it was better for him to inform Kane first.

When he arrived at Kane's house, he saw Kane feeding the ginseng doll with a bowl of porridge. Kane was like a father taking care of his kid.

"Brother! Why do you come again?" Seeing Ryan suddenly come to him, Kane was a little confused.

"I'm going to Batavia for a while. I don't know when I'll be back," Ryan said.

"Why are you going to Batavia?" Kane looked confused, why did his senior brother need to go to the capital?
