Gone?

Ji Jue was in shock when he received the news, utterly dumbfounded.

He almost doubted his own ears.

But looking back now, Wen Wen's resignation and departure seemed inevitable. Whether it was the gloomy and excessive drinking of late, the troubles she got into with her insomnia a few days ago, or her 'family' that came knocking...

With her personality, it's impossible for her to continue staying in Cliff City, ignoring everything and living as if nothing happened.

The moment she realized she was becoming a source of trouble, she had already made her decision.

Even when she came to drink with him, Ji Jue already had a hunch, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.

Decisive and without hesitation.

This determination...

No, what others might see as a quality, perhaps for someone as accustomed to being hot-headed as Wen Wen, it was more about not being able to hold back her resolve, right?

Like her sudden departure without a word.

Even knowing that Ji Jue wouldn't just leave it be, even understanding that this was no longer just her own issue...

"In the end, it's just her trying to be tough!"

Tong Hua, with reddened eyes, couldn't help but complain, "She's so grown up yet behaves like a child... She could've told me anything, but she didn't say a word.

Has she watched too many tough-guy movies, completely disregarding what others might think! So childish!"

"Ruins is like that, stubborn. Maybe she'll be back after she's done, there's no need to act like it's an eternal separation."

Old Zhang handed over a tissue, comforting her, sighing with emotion, "Rather than seeking help, she probably hates being seen as a burden or a nuisance more, right?"

Little An sat silently on the couch, his hands fumbling with a game console, not knowing what he was doing.

He wanted to say something but didn't know what to say.

Several times, he wanted to speak but couldn't find the words.

At this moment, seeing Ji Jue walk in, his eyes lit up as if finding a savior, "Brother Ji Jue!"

"I've already heard most of the details."

Ji Jue rubbed his face, having driven all the way here after waking up, with a splitting headache: "Don't worry, she still owes me a drink... Since when does someone disappear after owing a drink?"

Since when does such a thing happen?

Look at the dire state of the Beishan Group, the helpless old man, the sad young sister, the helpless child, and the mainstay who seems to have run away after incurring debts... even took the only motorbike from home!

This family is falling apart!

Wen Wen, how could you do this?

No matter what, we need to catch her back first! Otherwise... sister, you wouldn't want your little sister to fall into my hands, right?

"When did you find out?" Ji Jue asked, feeling a headache, how did he become the detective here?

Ether, show some effect!

Oh, ether is still shedding little pearls...

Little An raised his hand.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Little An arrived at the office in Northern Mountain District, preparing to explore a new game upon its release, and found Wen's office door open.

As the most sensible child in the group, he wanted to tidy up her office, emptied the ashtray, only to find it completely empty.

Under the ashtray was a resignation letter.

Sparse in just three lines.

[Dear Guardian Lv:

I'm quitting, sorry.

—Wen Wen]

It wasn't written in standard font, and the handwriting was a product of post-drinking scrawl, she even misspelled the word for guardian, crossing it out and rewriting it, not even putting a date!

Upon reading it, Ji Jue felt awful.

No, sis, this thing, no one in their right mind would approve it!

His first instinct was to tear it up, then he paused and put it back together. He looked at Tong Hua, "Can you make anything out of it?"

Tong Hua's eyes turned redder, unable to be helped.

On one hand, there was no clue beyond Wen's drinking, showing insufficiency of her ability, and on the other hand... Wen Wen knew her too well and was prepared, leaving no clue for her to exploit, even carrying a Blessed Creation from the Mirror system to isolate ether tracing.

Her sister left without saying a word, and even deliberately blacklisted her.

Who can stand that?

"Alright, I think I understand."

Ji Jue sighed, finally looking at Old Zhang, shaking the resignation letter in his hand, "Who else knows about this?"

Old Zhang seemed to understand something, knowingly replied, "No one will spread it, for now, it's only within the Beishan Group."

Ji Jue isn't considered an outsider.

He's still a contractual craftsman with the Beishan Group, registered in the Security Bureau.

Ji Jue pressed on, "So, according to the system, Wen is still on duty, right?"

"That's correct, and she's on vacation," Old Zhang said, "Sick leave for a week."

"So, if we bring her back within a week..."

Old Zhang nodded, "Then it would be as if none of this ever happened."

Slam!

Ji Jue closed the resignation letter in his hand and stuffed it into his pocket.

"Alright, let's do it that way!"

He promised outright, "You guys hold down the fort in the Northern Mountain District, leave Wen to me!"

In Hai Province, if Wen Wen thinks she can run away behind my back, she's really looking down on me.

If she takes an airship or looks for the Star Core Association or something, it might be tough, but looking at Wen Wen's pitiful wallet contents and her long-standing near-overdue credit card status, it's quite unrealistic.
