the two-faced Adopted Girl Who Melted CEO's Ice-Cold Heart-Chapter 898: Have You Seen Leah Recently?

"I know all about what’s happening in Nanyang, and I’ve negotiated with the United Kingdom to help find someone, but there’s no news yet." Richard Shaw asked quietly, "What exactly happened? How did he just leave without a word?"

Delphine felt it was hard to explain in a few words. At this point, she still needed to rely on Richard Shaw’s strength to help find the person. There was nothing to hide, so she highlighted the main points of the situation.

Richard Shaw’s brow furrowed.

"Old Li is meticulous, and he has taken his most trusted Jin Liu with him. Jin Liu is a retired special forces soldier, served as an international mercenary. With him there, they can hide for a year or so without any pressure." Richard Shaw sighed lowly and said, "Searching from the traces seems unrealistic now. We can only deduce Old Li’s whereabouts from emotions. The last place he went was the United Kingdom, indicating he most fondly remembers his youthful life with Aunt Lan in the UK."

"Go to the UK to search?" Delphine asked softly. She had also considered going to the UK to search personally, but couldn’t free herself from matters in Nanyang just yet.

"Let Arthur White tell you everything about Old Li’s life in the UK, from school to residence and activities he participated in. Find the most unique places and check them one by one." Richard Shaw said solemnly, "I will continue negotiating with the authorities in the UK to help find the person."

"Then I’ll have Arthur White accompany me on a trip to the UK." Delphine made a decision instantly.

"Regarding his brain disease, I will contact experts from different countries. We will handle this from both sides. No need to rush with matters in Nanyang. Old Li’s think tank is full of top-notch talents. Leaving two people behind to look over things will be enough. If there’s any unexpected situation and manpower is lacking, let them call me directly." Richard Shaw had considered everything thoroughly.

Delphine nodded in thanks.

Richard Shaw finished his cup of tea and was about to leave.

The tall and stately Major General paused at the door, turned, and asked quietly, "Have you seen Leah recently?"

The man’s face was slightly bowed, half shrouded in shadow, making it unclear, except for his voice carrying a subtle, indescribable tenderness.

Delphine’s gaze flickered, nodding, she said, "Half a month ago, when I left Nanyang, Leah came to pick me up. She’s doing very well."

Upon hearing this, Richard Shaw’s cold lips curled slightly in a fleeting smile, and he asked no more, saying goodbye to her.

Delphine saw him off, stood at the door, watched him leave in his private car, sighed lowly, then closed the door. She went upstairs to pack her luggage while calling Arthur White to book flights for the next day, preparing for the trip to the UK.

Arthur White was highly efficient; he quickly booked the flight, arranged the itinerary in the UK, and even set up a headquarters inspection. With Old Li currently missing, Delphine was the decision-maker of the entire group. Upon arriving in the UK, she must inspect and understand the situation of the group.

This was the empire they had built alongside Old Li, which must be guarded well.

Early the next morning, Delphine took the two children to Li Manor. After some thought, she knew the old man was not in good health. Having the children around offered him some solace, and leaving Maximilian and Brock Gray there, along with Aunt Li at the manor, ensured the children’s safety was fully secured.

After explaining the itinerary and approximate duration of the stay to the elder and younger child and promising daily video calls, Delphine took Arthur White and two bodyguards on a business trip to the UK.
