Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 2018

Chapter 2018: Chapter 2020: The Cat-and-Mouse Game

With the matter of looking for Chiang Qing on her mind, after she and Zhan Qin finished dealing with miscellaneous company affairs, Cheng Su headed over to the Cheng family’s Yaojiang Group headquarters.

Cheng Yaozu was busy; when he saw Cheng Su come in, he only told her to sit first, while he continued talking with his secretary. The secretary was familiar with Cheng Su as well, knew she was Old Master Cheng’s goddaughter, counted as a young lady of the family, so he wasn’t surprised and kept talking calmly.

Only after he finally wrapped everything up did Cheng Yaozu down a big glass of water, then walk over to sit on the sofa. Seeing Cheng Su fiddling with the crystal ornament on the coffee table, he said, "What brings you here?"

"I came to ask you if there’s any news."

Cheng Yaozu said, "We’re still looking. We already found where she was living before, but this woman is very alert—she ran."

"The Shen family hasn’t found her either?" Cheng Su asked with a frown.

Cheng Yaozu let out a cold laugh. "That bunch of useless trash. Maybe if it were on their home turf they’d be a bit better, but here in Guangcheng, how far can their reach extend? Even we can’t find her."

Cheng Su said, "Then she really is good at hiding."

Cheng Yaozu said, "Right now there are too many migrant workers coming to Guangcheng to work, at least double last year. All those village houses have been rented out, and the alleyways in the city too. With such a huge influx of outsiders, if she blends in among them and darts through streets and alleys, it’s not impossible for her to stay hidden."

Cheng Su nodded. She also knew the population had exploded.

"Besides, the way we’re searching basically counts as startling the snake in the grass. Once there’s any big movement, any little stir of the wind and she bolts!" Cheng Yaozu said. "That’s the downside. But the upside is, with us making such a move, for the time being she won’t dare act rashly."

Cheng Su fell silent. That was hard to say—if the woman decided this was already a dead end, nowhere left to go, she might well risk everything on one last gamble.

"How about we go with a ’lure the snake out of its hole’?" Cheng Su was honestly a bit fed up with this cat-and-mouse game.
