Chapter 168: Thank You, I love You

After seeing Irina leaving, Ryan really felt happy. He felt refreshed and energized, and he was in a really good mood. He could even feel his internal wounds wouldn't recur, thanks to his grandfather's medicinal soup and the happiness he felt from last night. He felt he had reversed his age several years younger.

With a happy face, Ryan also left the house.

However, he did not immediately go to the office, he headed for Kane's boarding house.

He had not seen his younger brother for a long time. He didn't know what kind of activities Kane had been doing lately.

When he reached Kane's house, he could hear loud laughter. And when he opened the door to his room, he saw Kane and the ginseng doll laughing together.

Seeing Ryan, Kane immediately smiled. "Senior brother!"

When the ginseng doll saw Ryan, she was also happy. She quickly climbed onto Ryan's shoulders then stretched out her white, fat hand then poked Ryan's cheek.

"Very funny, now stop!" Ryan felt helpless, this doll was getting naughtier over time.

"Huh!? Bro, since when did this ginseng doll get along well with you?" Kane looked confused. He had never seen his senior being this friendly with the ginseng doll. They even treated each other as enemies before, so why did they suddenly look close?

"Me and this doll already understand each other," Ryan laughed and sat next to Kane. The ginseng doll jumped and landed on Kane's head. It seemed that she liked Kane's head the most as a place to sleep.

"That's great! In the past, you once said that you wanted to eat it, but fortunately you are friends with her now," Kane said with a smile. But when she heard the word "eat it", the ginseng doll looked shocked and jumped on Kane's head. Her tiny hands grabbed Kane's hair.

"Oh? Did I say something wrong?" Kane asked.

"How is your defense training by the way? I have no work today so I can give you directions if you need it," Ryan said with a smile.

Kane's eyes were sparkling, he then stood up. "That's very kind of you brother! Please look at my technique and tell me where I get it wrong,"

Kane's sudden movement made the ginseng doll in his head turn upside down and fall on the bed. 

Ryan couldn't stop laughing when he saw the ginseng doll's sad expression. It seemed like it was the first time Kane had ignored the doll.

.......

After teaching Kane, Ryan left Kane's house and walked towards his office.

When he arrived there, Ryan was immediately greeted by his subordinates.

"Mr. Ryan, did you come late again? You shouldn't do it all the time or you might get fired."

"Are you stupid? Why did the boss get fired?!" Everyone laughed at the joke.

"Anyway, Mr. Ryan looks really happy today. Did you have fun playing with a girl last night, sir?"

"The girl must be beautiful. I think your wallet looks thin today."

These perverted men were never tired of their perverted jokes, but Ryan didn't mind it though. In fact, jokes like this made him feel closer to his subordinates.

"What the hell are you guys saying? Mr. Ryan deserves it. Besides, he has a lot of money."

Ryan then smiled and joked with them. However, suddenly a snapping sound came from behind them. 

"Don't just joke around when we still have a lot to do! Go back to work!"

Seeing Richard coming, everyone returned to work. Richard was very hard on the employees, making them all scared of him. If Richard wanted to, he could fire them all.

Ryan realized  that today Valerie wasn't present. It felt like she was still on a leave to take care of her grandmother. After giving directions to Richard, Ryan immediately walked to Irina's office.

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?
