Rebirth: General, Don't Mess Around! Chapter 823: A Motley Crew

Ye Jian looked at the ti on the wall clock. It was almost ti to leave.

Today was the day of her duel with Luo Ran. Now, she needed to go to the back alley of the pub to et him.

Amidst the happy voices singing "happy birthday", Ye Jian found Wang Jin accurately and ca beside him. She whispered, "I have so things to do so I need to leave for a mont. I'll co back later."

"Okay. I'll leave a big piece of cake for you to rub on Yang Heng's face." Wang Jin didn't know that Ye Jian was going out for a duel. He thought that she would be back in a short while so he didn't ask her for any details. He was thinking about how to sneak an attack on Yang Heng later so he didn't even notice when Ye Jian left.

Ye Jian took ten darts with her when she left. She realized that this… was quite suitable to use as a weapon.

After the lights lit up and the cake was cut, no one ate the cake. Everyone started playing with their cakes by rubbing it on other people's faces.

Yang Heng was in the worst state. Even his eyebrows were stained with cake.

"Ye Jian left? Did she say where she was going? Why didn't you ask her to stay and wait for to go over first?" When Yang Heng heard what Wang Jin said, he frowned. A piece of cream even dropped down his eyebrows when he frowned. After he asked this question, he realized that he said the wrong thing.

He patted Wang Jin's shoulder and continued before Wang Jin could reply, "I was a little anxious, sorry."

Wang Jin replied hurriedly, "It's alright. I know you well. Since a young lady said that she needed to leave for a little while, I didn't probe further. She said that she will co back in a while."

No one knows when she will co back.

How long was a while? Ye Jian didn't say so no one knew the answer.

Yang Heng carefully recalled Ye Jian's expressions during the day. No matter how he recalled, he didn't notice anything amiss with her expression.

She played darts happily, she laughed happily, and she even ignored Yao Jing's provocation. She always managed to refute Yao Jing easily and caused Yao Jing to be on the losing end.

If she didn't leave because she was unhappy. Then… she most probably left because of personal matters.

"She left? No one knows why she left?" When Mother Yang knew about this, she furrowed her brows slightly. "Old Yang, do you think that the child noticed Yao Jing was targeting her so she left because she felt unhappy?"

She paused for a mont and sighed. "I also said sothing wrong too. I don't know if the child felt uncomfortable because of it."

She told everyone her genuine mistake. Yang Heng imdiately said, "Mom, don't worry about this. She won't take it to heart. If she hasn't co back after the celebration ends, I'll go and look for her."

"She shouldn't have gone too far. Maybe she really has so urgent matters to attend to. I think that the child knows her ground. Both of you don't have to worry about her. Half an hour later, if she hasn't co back, I'll send people to check on her." Commissioner Yang trusted Ye Jian. A young lady that was able to help the police solve a huge case must be soone with good critical thinking skills.

Normally, a child like this wouldn't place herself in a dangerous situation.

He rather believed that she really had urgent matters to attend to and didn't leave because she was unhappy.

It was close to 10 pm. At this ti, the city wasn't as lively as it would be in ten years. There weren't many cars or people on the road. If you walked on the streets, you would notice that the cars could travel at twice the speed as compared to day ti.

Ye Jian walked naturally after she ca out of the hotel. The people behind her followed her at a steady pace too.
