It was apparent that the female vendor could already recognize Yun Jian from the few times she had visited the market with Qin Yirou for her shopping. Seeing her from afar and not serving any customer at the moment, the woman could not help asking since she had already spotted Yun Jian.
“My mom was here?” Yun Jian asked with a raised eyebrow.
Yun Jian looked calm and composed like nothing had ever happened, but she was in fact thoroughly consumed by panic. She had never expected Qin Yirou to go missing from buying cooking ingredients in the market.
If it had been members from Inferno Ring that were not fully exterminated, or someone known globally, who had abducted Qin Yirou, Yun Jian was certain that she would know about it. She had watchmen and scouts all over the world. If it were the formerly mentioned group, she could basically annihilate them all before they succeeded in carrying out their plans.
It only proved that Qin Yirou was not captured by the Inferno Ring or people she had grudges with.
Longmen City was not huge but it was not exactly a small place either. If Qin Yirou was actually abducted and hidden away, Yun Jian would have trouble seeking the culprit as well.
Therefore, it was impossible for her not to feel anxious about it.
If all else failed, she was going to deploy all Gu Sha Mercenaries members here. She would find out where Qin Yirou was even if she had to turn the whole Longmen City upside down and inside out!
“She just came! Some 30-40 minutes ago!” the female stall owner answered after she counted in her mind looking at Yun Jian.
“Thank you.” Yun Jian thanked the woman and turned to leave.
“Hey, you heard about the huge successful plastic processing factory here in Longmen City?”
“The established one at Chengdong Street? Of course! I heard that the boss of that factory has been a millionaire for a long time and is quite famous for it here in Longmen City!”
“Hah, say if our daughter gets married to the plastic processing factory’s boss, we’d be having a deep pocket to ourselves then? Guess what? It’s said that the wife of the factory boss has an affair with her old schoolmate and I heard that it got exposed during their school reunion!”
“Tsk... For real?”
“Would I be lying? This fact was verified, just two days ago. I think the factory boss chased the shameless woman out. Rumor has it that he didn’t give the shameless woman anything!”
“Pft, she deserves it! Serves her right for leaving a comfortable life to hook up with other men. She’s asking for the divorce!”
...
Most stall owners and vendors in the market were older women. When they had no customers, these elderly women chatted with the other old women traders next to their own stalls.
The spot where Yun Jian stood allowed her to overhear the two older women’s gossip which made her squint.
Actually, the topic of conversation between both elderly women was already spread all over Longmen City, so it was not bewildering for Yun Jian to hear it here. However, what attracted the girl’s attention was not how dramatic the topic was.
It was that... If Yun Jian guessed it right, the woman of discussion was Yang Weiting, Qin Yirou’s high school classmate who blocked Qin Yirou’s way at the bridal boutique’s door last week.
When they entered the bridal shop later, Dong Ruan mentioned in passing how Yang Weiting was too arrogant as she kept boasting about her husband being the boss of Longmen City’s plastic processing factory during the reunion.
Yun Jian remembered it.
What she was paying attention to, however, was that Yang Weiting was divorced from what these two older women said.
It was not even long since the divorce and Qin Yirou went missing on her way home after shopping at the market alone today. Was it too much of a coincidence?
