In the early morning, the sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains and fell on the handsome brows and eyes of the man on the bed.
Ji Juechuan frowned slightly, slowly woke up, and went to hug the person beside him as a habit, but found nothing.
He opened his eyes instantly and saw no one next to him, and he suddenly woke up.
It was not yet seven in the morning, why wasn’t Yan Yan in bed?
Ji Juechuan sat up, put on his slippers, and prepared to leave the room to find Yan Yan.
He went downstairs and searched around, from the living room to the kitchen, and then to the back garden, but he didn’t even see Yan Yan’s shadow.
During the search, he noticed some changes in the layout of his home, but he was preoccupied with Yan Yan, so he didn’t pay attention for the moment.
Yan Yan was not found downstairs, so he went upstairs again, searched around every room, and finally returned to the bedroom, frowning tightly.
Why did Yan Yan suddenly go out without telling him?
Ji Juechuan picked up the mobile phone on the bedside table and was about to call Yan Yan when his movements suddenly stopped.
There was only his pillow on the bed, and there were only signs that he had slept alone.
Except for the place where he slept, the rest of the bed was flat and there was no sign that a second person had slept on it.
It was like he was the only one here from beginning to end.
Ji Juechuan’s hand tightened as he held the phone, a feeling amplifying in his heart.
He pursed his lips tightly, looked away from the bed, opened the call interface on his phone, and prepared to call Yan Yan.
This might be Yan Yan’s prank.
He calmly entered the phone number into the call interface, but he didn’t even notice that there was a subtle tremor in his tapping movements on the screen.
He kept Yan Yan’s phone number at the front. In the past, as long as he entered a number, Yan Yan’s phone number would pop up.
But now even after he had entered the last number, there was still no familiar note.
After entering a series of phone numbers, Ji Juechuan took a deep breath and pressed dial.
The phone was silent for a few seconds, and his breathing stopped for a few seconds.
Finally, there was a voice on the phone.
“The phone number you dialed is unavailable. Please check the number before dialing.”
Ji Juechuan froze in his movements. When the call automatically hung up, he did not put down the mobile phone he held to his ear.
After a long time, he turned his somewhat stiff body and looked around the room.
He finally discovered what he had been feeling was wrong since he woke up.
His room seemed to have gone back to the way it was before Yan Yan came, and all the decorations were strange yet familiar.
It was obviously a layout he was used to seeing before, but now it looked a little cold, making his heart freeze into ice.
Ji Juechuan suddenly walked downstairs.
He didn’t believe that Yan Yan would leave him, so what happened now made him even more flustered and uneasy.
He walked quickly to the back garden and saw an empty piece of grass. There was a buzz in his head and he couldn’t maintain his composure.
This spring, he and Yan Yan had planted two fruit trees in the back garden. Yesterday, they watered them together and sat next to the trees and chatted for a while.
But now on the grass, there was nothing.
Ji Juechuan didn’t know how he walked back to the room.
He sat by the bed for a while, and his cell phone rang suddenly.
It was a message from Lu Ji.
It was almost eight o’clock in the morning. In the past, he would have arrived at the company long ago.
Lu Ji asked him why he hadn’t come to the company yet and if he was feeling unwell. Although the words were polite, you could still feel his shock through the screen.
Ji Juechuan pressed his eyebrows and replied that he would be there soon.
He knew that what happened this time was not simple, and even if he kept sitting here, it would not help.
Half an hour later.
Ji Juechuan sat behind his desk, leaning on the chair with his eyes closed, his brows furrowed tightly.
As soon as Lu Ji walked in, he felt something was wrong in the atmosphere. Seeing Ji Juechuan’s face, an alarm bell rang in his heart and he cheered up.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Ji Juechuan opened his eyes instantly and asked with a serious look on his face, “Do you know Yan Yan?”
After he asked this question, he stared closely at the expression on Lu Ji’s face, not missing any of his expressions.
As expected, the expression on Lu Ji’s face was startled at first, and then showed a bit of confusion, as if he was carefully searching for the name in his mind.
A minute later, Lu Ji shook his head at him: “I don’t know him.”
Lu Ji saw Ji Juechuan tighten his thin lips, his brows filled with irritation, and the low air pressure on his body made him breathless.
He hesitated for a moment, then told Ji Juechuan the news he had just received: “Mr. Ji, our project in Nancheng…”
Ji Juechuan suddenly raised his head: “Nancheng?”
Lu Ji was stunned again and nodded without knowing why.
“Nancheng.” Ji Juechuan read the place name again.
This was an unfamiliar place name, one he had never heard of before.
“Where are we now?” He looked up at Lu Ji.
Lu Ji’s brain was already a little confused. But he still numbly told Ji Juechuan: “Beicheng.”
Ji Juechuan’s eyes flashed slightly.
This was not his original world.
Where was Yan Yan? Did he come to this world like him?
“You go out first.”
Lu Ji hadn’t finished reporting on his work. He was stunned for a moment and turned around to go out.
Ji Juechuan turned on the computer and browsed the recent news. The hand holding the mouse was clenched a little too hard, and the veins were bulging.
The news was full of place names he had never seen before, and there were many names he had never heard of.
After reading some business news, he roughly understood the situation in the world.
His Wangjue Group still existed in this world, and its status in the business world was the same as in his original world, but the other powerful groups in this world were names he had never heard of.
He searched for information about those groups, and related keywords popped up on the webpage.
Yan family.
Ji Juechuan almost immediately thought of Yan Yan.
But in his original world, the Yan family didn’t have such great abilities, let alone being on par with the Wangjue Group.
An idea flashed through his mind.
Could it be that the Yan family in this world was not the same as the Yan family in his original world?
Then would Yan Yan still appear in this world?
Ji Juechuan had a splitting headache and closed his eyes.
There was a knock on the office door, and Ji Juechuan took a deep breath.
“Come in.”
Lu Ji opened the door and walked in with a complicated expression on his face: “Mr. Ji, after I went out just now, I felt that the name you mentioned sounded familiar.”
Ji Juechuan looked over instantly.
Lu Ji paused and continued: “So I went to check and found…”
“What did you find?” Ji Juechuan stared at him closely.
It was the first time that Lu Ji saw Ji Juechuan showing such emotion, and his anxiety was almost written on his face.
“I found that I have indeed heard of this name. Yan Yan is Yan Kaicheng’s son. He is still studying and the Yan family protects him very well, so not many people have heard of his name.”
Ji Juechuan stood up. Just as he was about to walk outside, he stopped again.
He was still not sure that the Yan Yan in Lu Ji’s mouth was his Yan Yan.
Moreover, the name Yan Kaicheng was completely unfamiliar to him. Maybe he was just someone with the same name.
But even so, he was not willing to miss this possibility.
Ji Juechuan looked at Lu Ji: “Do we have any cooperation with Yan Kaicheng?”
Lu Ji had adapted to the strange questions he asked from time to time today and nodded: “Yes.”
“Show it to me.”
Lu Ji turned around and went out, and quickly came in with a few documents.
Ji Juechuan sat back at his desk, took the documents, read them carefully, and then pulled out one of the documents.
“I need to discuss this cooperation with Mr. Yan again, so make an appointment with him for me.”
Ji Juechuan tapped his fingers on the table twice: “Just say that I happened to be near Yan’s house and ask him if he is free in the afternoon.”
Lu Ji looked strange, but he still responded.
He saw that Ji Juechuan’s goal should be Yan Yan, so he didn’t hesitate to find such a lame excuse to go to Yan’s house.
He just didn’t know when his boss met Yan Yan, what was their relationship, and how could Ji Juechuan make such a big move.
Lu Ji went out to contact Yan Kaicheng’s assistant.
After a while, Lu Ji walked in: “Mr. Yan said that he is free in the afternoon, you can come over at any time.”
Ji Juechuan nodded, and the anxiety in his heart finally subsided a little, but his heart was still hanging on.
Seeing that his face looked better, Lu Ji quickly took the opportunity to report on his work. Unexpectedly, after he finished reporting, he saw Ji Juechuan being distracted.
He could hardly believe his eyes.
A workaholic like Ji Juechuan would also have a day when his mind wandered during working hours. He would even believe someone if they said that Ji Juechuan was possessed.
Lu Ji silently put the documents in his hand on Ji Juechuan’s desk and walked out quietly.
After Lu Ji went out, Ji Juechuan still didn’t touch the documents on the table.
He stared at the clock on the wall, waiting painfully for the time to pass. On the one hand, he hoped to see Yan Yan at Yan’s house in the afternoon, but on the other hand, he was afraid that his hope would be dashed.
During the long wait, Ji Juechuan opened the news website again and started reading.
Although it was not sure whether the Yan family and Yan Yan were related but he still focused on the reports about the Yan family.
The Yan family in this world was a big family. The family’s businesses were spread across various fields, accounting for almost half of the business world.
Ji Juechuan’s heart dropped.
These reports seemed to tell him that the Yan family in front of him should have nothing to do with Yan Yan.
Ji Juechuan closed all the pages and forced himself to calm down.
No matter what, he still had to wait until he went to Yan’s house in the afternoon. Even if there was only one percent chance, he would go and have a look.
