Chapter 987: His nightmares and her beautiful dreams (1)

Xia Shangzhou searched every single place that Lin Jiayi liked to go, frequented, and possibly visited, but he still couldn’t find her.

On the way, apart from Xia Shangzhou calling Lin Jiayi a few times, he also called Lin Jiage to find out that Lin Jiage and the others hadn’t been able to contact Lin Jiayi in the entire time he had been out, and Lin Jiayi hadn’t appeared at his birthday banquet either.

As it was already very late, Lin Jiage told Xia Shangzhou that they were about to leave. Before hanging up, Lin Jiage could tell that Xia Shangzhou was too nervous, so he even consoled him a little, nothing would happen to Lin Jiayi. Even if someone really did harbor ill intentions, the one who would end up in trouble would still be the one who did. In the end, Lin Jiage even added that the fact that Lin Jiayi’s call could be connected could only mean one thing.., lin Jiayi was the one who didn’t want to pick up the call. If anything were to happen, she would be the first to be unable to get through.

Xia Shangzhou knew that Lin Jiage was right, and he was well aware that the security in the capital had always been very good. It was unlikely that anything would happen even in the middle of the night, but for some reason, his heart was filled with uneasiness, he had a nagging feeling that something huge had happened that night.

After hanging up on Lin jiage, Xia Shangzhou sat in the car for a while. Thinking that he wouldn’t be able to fall asleep even if he were to go home, he decided to drive around the streets of Beijing in the middle of the night, he wanted to see if he could find Lin Jiayi.

Perhaps the heavens had seen through his sincerity, or perhaps he was just lucky. When it was nearly half-past eleven, just as Xia Shangzhou was thinking that he should find another route and give up on going home if he still couldn’t find her.., at the entrance of a clubhouse, he saw Lin Jiayi’s figure.

She was wearing a black gown and a pair of sky-high heels. She stood by the roadside, glancing at the clubhouse door from time to time as though she was waiting for someone to come out.

It was summer now, so it wasn’t too cold at night. However, she had probably been standing there in her high heels for a long time, so her feet weren’t feeling too well. She would change her stance frequently, and from time to time, she would even bend down to rub her calf.

Upon seeing this sight, Xia Shangzhou didn’t hesitate to slam on the brakes.

He unbuckled his seatbelt and swiftly jumped out of the car. Without even calling out her name, he dashed to the back of the car, opened the trunk, and took out a pair of comfortable slippers.

He pressed the lock on the trunk and grabbed the slippers. Just as he was about to walk over to Lin Jiayi, he saw Lin Jiayi pacing back and forth at the entrance of the clubhouse. Suddenly, as if she had seen a ray of hope, her eyes lit up, she seemed to be anxious about something. After a moment of hesitation, she lifted her foot and stomped on the ground, heading straight for the entrance of the clubhouse.

Lin Jiayi was usually a person of high spirits and ferocity. It was rare for her to be so hesitant.

Seeing the look on her face, Xia Shangzhou frowned slightly. Instinctively, he stopped in his tracks and turned his gaze to the direction she was heading to.

A few men dressed in leather walked out of the clubhouse.

One of them was a man that Xia Shangzhou had never seen before, but he was exceptionally familiar with him. This was because he had once seen a photo of him in Lin Jiayi’s office. Even though many years had passed, and his appearance had changed slightly, he was still able to recognize him, he could still recognize who he was.

That man was his nightmare, her dream.

That man was her first love, the one she’d said so many times when she was drunk.

That man was Qin Ting.
