Ah, but Xia Chuyi was unable to lie.
"Auntie, she didn't go to Ling County," she shook her head, her tone carrying a hint of apology.
As she shook her head, the only bit of hope on Mrs. Wang's face disappeared.
Seeing this, Xia Chuyi immediately said, "However, I did hear some news."
"What?" Both Father Wang and Mrs. Wang were startled.
Xia Chuyi then repeated what she had learned about the situation.
After hearing her description,
Mrs. Wang was especially regretful and said, "It's all my fault, I didn't discover the note Xiao Fang left behind sooner! I didn't go to the train station and ask more questions!"
"It's not your fault," Father Wang comforted Mrs. Wang. "The note fell into a corner, it's normal that you didn't see it at first."
After comforting his wife, Father Wang turned to Xia Chuyi.
"You said that you have a suspicion about the person the sweet potato vendor mentioned," Father Wang said, "Xia, can I ask who you suspect?"
