Early the next morning, as Chen Bin and Hao Wenjing's mother and daughter were still sound asleep, Ni Bo sat slumped in Ni Baige's room, utterly despondent.
Being the weekend, he had planned to take his daughter to attend a music-related conference.
But no matter how many times he knocked, there was no response from inside Ni Baige's room.
Worried for his daughter's safety, Ni Bo immediately unlocked the door.
He discovered the room impeccably tidy, but Ni Baige was nowhere to be seen.
On the desk lay a letter, the gist of which stated:
Ni Baige had decided to leave Tianhai and head to the Imperial Capital to pursue a career in the entertainment industry.
Afraid Ni Bo would disapprove, she had chosen to leave quietly.
Concerned about her safety alone in an unfamiliar place, Ni Bo immediately tried calling her to bring her back.
However, her phone was turned off.
Ni Bo realized that, having been continually suppressed at Yanxi TV Station, Ni Baige had no choice but to leave.
