A bus between the cities was walking leisurely. Inside, it was full of city people who wanted to return to their villages. Because this is just a public bus between cities, it certainly only contains passengers who are in their class. No one looks rich here. Maybe if they have more money, they will choose to return home by plane or other means of transportation. Rather than riding a bus filled with many people like this. Hot, and tight.
A man sat on one of the benches staring out the window with a sad expression. Highlight his two eyes that seemed empty, indicating that there were many strange problems he was thinking about.
The bus swayed as it passed through the uneven road. But it succeeded in making the mind of the man just now. He saw others on the bus, to confirm to himself that he had gone far and could not return.
In the corner of his eyes, the man saw an old man who was not getting a seat. He seemed to have trouble holding on as the bus swayed. Unfortunately, people are too selfish to offer that contested seat from the start.
The man stood up, and slowly pulled the grandfather who had difficulty in walking. "Please cake, sit in my place." He said as he slowly helped the old man sit down.
"Thank you son, you're so good." Said the grandfather with a smile, revealing his incomplete teeth.
"Take cake." The man is standing now.
Kruuck!
The man's stomach suddenly sounded. Not because of hunger, but a bad taste that attacks without cue. While holding him back, the man curses the person who yesterday gave him a level 70 noodle lidi while saying that it is sweet. Damnit damnit!
"You look a lot like my son. What's your name, son?" The man-assisted grandfather opened the conversation.
"My name, Axel cake."

At the same time. The Bai family home.
"What?! Devian's missing?" Bai Lian was startled as she stood up from her chair.
The core bodyguards except Yve were reporting this incident to Bai Lian. They bowed like obedient dogs in front of their master.
"Check this house cctv. Then look when was the last time Devian showed up."
"I've checked with Bernard sir." Beng hurriedly replied. "Last he was seen exiting the room, then going towards the blind spot of the cctv so his movements could not be read."
"What did he bring when he left?"
"Only a tablet. And Ronan also said the same thing, if Devian went out of the room while carrying his usual tablet." Definitely Beng.
Bai Lian rubbed her face in frustration, then glanced at the core bodyguards before her. There was one other than Devian who was nowhere to be seen. "Where's the boy?"
Beng who understood immediately replied. "Suddenly Yve's mood is bad. He did not answer any of our words. He keeps quiet and busy with his laptop."
Does he know anything?
"Call Yve here." Bai Lian's orders.
"I'm afraid he doesn't want you. I also invited him to meet you, but he just kept quiet." Beng is back.
"And his face is creepy. To the point of not daring to sit next to him, hiii" South shivered as he recalled the face of Yve whom he had met a few minutes ago.
"Shut up!" North nudged South's shoulder.
"Has he been like that since morning?"
"No sir. Said another bodyguard who was chatting with Yve this morning, he looks like normal. Even had time to give a cupcake to Bernard as a congratulation has finished counting the flower petals."
Bai Lian nodded at Beng's reply. Maybe his guess is right. He changes when he finds out Devian is missing, meaning he knows what happened to Devian.
"I'll meet him and talk. You guys don't approach us in a 20-meter radius." Bai Lian walked towards the door, and paused for a moment. "One of you told me about Devian's disappearance, and Lin."
If my guess is correct, it must be Lin. So I had to spread this news immediately for father to act.
After Bai Lian left, South immediately asked, "Why are you even worried about Yve? What about Devian?"
"Stupid! It's up to our master!" Beng pats South's head.
"North, your brother's mouth needs to be cuffed!"
"Sister? I don't have a sister."
"You're so bad!"

No no
No no
Yve's fingers continued to move over his laptop keyboard, the faster it would be like his mind was getting full of trouble.
After this morning full of commotion, Yve finally felt the calm atmosphere in the gazebo. There's only him alone now. Again and again, Yve repeats the learning Devian gave. Even though that person was gone, but the moment Yve recalled the lesson from him, Devian's voice instantly filled his head.
"Stop a minute!"
Yve's finger immediately stopped moving. That resolute voice made him realize, and reflexively turned his head towards the source.
Bai Lian was standing near Yve now. He looked at the girl closely. "What happened to you?"
Yve just stood still and looked back at the screen of his laptop. His finger again moved to type something that had stopped because of Bai Lian earlier.
"Your master is asking. You have to answer."
"Nothing happened to me." Yve answered without looking at Bai Lian. And from her flat tone indicated that the girl did not care about Bai Lian's question at all.
"Why did you suddenly change?"
"I haven't changed." Yve's gaze was still locked on his laptop screen.
"Does this have anything to do with Devian?"
The deg!
Yve stopped moving. His hand shook withstanding the emotion that had suddenly returned just like before.
"Is Devian's current disappearance related to Lin?" Ask Bai Lian again.
"Yes." Yeah." Yve stood up and finally he looked at Bai Lian's two sea-blue eyes. "I'll kill him."

On a balcony with a few sweet treats, sat a man whose age had exceeded half a century. His body that was still sturdy and muscular made that age disguised. But a few strands of white hair seemed to reveal the hidden truth.
"The big man." Beng bowed in front of the man politely.
"What's wrong?"
"Devian's missing. And yet it is not found."
"Devian is." Bai Jun looked calm and nodded slowly. "I know, go."
Beng finally left and Bai Jun hurriedly called out to his subordinates.
"Jack, check the data of the people coming out of this city immediately. Find Axel's name." Bai Jun's orders.
Jack, Bai Jun's right hand since he was young looked puzzled. "Why Axel? Who's she?" Ask later.
"Just search for it. If it doesn't exist, it's dead." Bai Jun still showed a relaxed expression. "But I don't think he's dead."
