193 BLOODY WEDDING PART 8

_______________________________

Ge Chen didn't wait to hear Wanwan's nonsense. He looked at his phone screen and tracked Xue Lin's GPS. Looking at the sealed house he looked at the second aunt and asked, "Did Lin go inside that house?"

"No, we haven't seen her near the house," the second aunt replied. From the moment she saw her, she was a bit scared of him.

Ge Chen frowned. He was sure that she was in the house. But the door was completely locked.

At that time, the eldest aunt came out to see Wanwan's misery. Seeing Ge Chen, she halted in her track. She was wondering what kind of a man Xue Lin married. Seeing him now, she was extremely jealous.

Ge Chen was good looking and had a high profile vibe. There was a dangerous glint in his eyes as if he was looking for his prey.

'How come Xue Lin got such a handsome rich husband when my daughter was married to just a government officer,' the eldest aunt pondered in dismay.

She commented from the balcony that was attached to the entrance, "I've seen Xue Lin going to the back of Xiao Bojin's house. There is a pond there." She paused before adding, "As long as I remember, she used to go there whenever she would come here. It could be her lover…" she gasped and covered her mouth.

She gave an apologetic look to Ge Chen and continued, "It could be just an old flame. Please don't worry about it. You are Xue Lin's husband. You are her main priority... where are you going?" She looked puzzled.

That's because Ge Chen didn't wait for her to finish whatever she wanted to say. He walked toward a narrow road and went to the backside of Bojin's house.

This was the same house where two people were found dead. He scanned the whole area. However, he didn't find a single shadow of Xue Lin.

The sun had already set in the west. It was already dark. Ge Chen began to worry about Xue Lin. He used the torch in his mobile to look for any sort of clue as to where Xue Lin could be.

'Did that woman lie?' Ge Chen thought about Xue Lin's eldest aunt. 'When she first gave the information, she didn't seem to lie but the rest was nothing but made-up words.'

He stepped closer to the house and skimmed through every nook and cranny. He observed every inch thoroughly before his eyes landed on the door that was attached to the balcony. It was the same door from where he and Xue Lin went inside to check on the dead body last night.

The door was tightly shut. At a glance, there was nothing abnormal with it but what Ge Chen's keen eyes detected wasn't the tightly shut door but a scratch mark on the wooden floor.

'I didn't spot it last night. It means it was created recently. The police had sealed the house and everyone is forbidden from entering here. It could be that someone illegally barged in and also secretly,' while analyzing the situation, he rubbed the scratch mark. 'A mark by a brick. There is mud too.'

Ge Chen stood up and checked outside the balcony and saw that a brick was pulled out from the corner. However, he didn't see that brick anywhere in the vicinity. It was clearly used to stop the door from closing. He narrowed his grey eyes and pondered for a while.

After a moment of thinking, he took out his cell phone and tracked Xue Lin's GPS signal. It was showing that she was definitely near him.

After confirming the GPS signal's location, he decided to enter the house. However, when he turned the knob, it was locked. 'It's locked from the inside. There has to be someone who is inside. However, Xue Lin won't lock it and leave a mark because she was trespassing. It's more suspicious. She cannot see in the dark and she cannot turn on the lights in case others find out that she is here. She has to keep the door open or it becomes troublesome for her if the door gets locked because it will be hard to unlock it.'

Ge Chen took a brick from the outside and broke a window. He cleaned around the window with his arm that was covered with a shirt sleeve. Only after that, he went inside. It was too dark to see anything.

He had no reason to hide from others. He needed to get his wife back. He turned on the light of the room. It was the bedroom where the youngest brother-in-law of Xue Lin died.

Ge Chen saw some footsteps and followed them. He turned on the lights of every room one by one.

It was Xue Lin's main family house. It wasn't an abandoned house in the woods where serial killers would lurk around. However, he was still on his guard thinking something might have happened to Xue Lin.

The house was too quiet. There wasn't a sound of a mouse or anything. Ge Chen never made a sound while walking. His ears were all open trying to hear any kind of small sound that would lead him to his wife.

He thoroughly inspected every corner and turned the lights of all the rooms and yet, to his surprise Xue Lin was nowhere to be found. He explored the living room, dining room, kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, study room, balcony and the small storeroom in the corner.

There was no trace of Xue Lin anywhere.

Ge Chen tried to be as calm as possible. He knew that there was no point in getting nervous.

He restlessly went to the storeroom again to find any clue about her. He once again tracked her GPS signal and was astonished to see that the GPS track was showing that he was right beside Xue Lin or her mobile.

But, where is she?
