Chapter 143: Lingshi City – Searching for the Crow (2/2)**

There were places with a port, and near the port, there was a forest…

After thinking for a moment, Shen Cheng got into the car, took out his phone, and called Zhou Dongliang.

Since Zhou Dongliang’s online name was “Zhou Eats the World,” he probably knew more than Shen Cheng…

Soon, the phone was answered, and Zhou Dongliang’s lazy yet lecherous voice came through: “Who is it? Disturbing Fat Lord’s sleep…”

“It’s me, Shen Cheng,” Shen Cheng said lightly.

“Hmm? Boss Shen?” A flurry of movement could be heard on the other end, as though Zhou Dongliang had suddenly leapt out of bed. Shen Cheng could clearly hear the creaking of the bedframe: “What’s up? Is the Cat café opening earlier today? If that’s the case, I’ll come right away!”

“No,” Shen Cheng chuckled bitterly. “Do you know any city that has a forest next to the port?”

“A forest next to the port? There aren’t many places like that…” Zhou Dongliang on the other end first expressed confusion, then paused to think for a moment. “As far as I know, Lingshi City has such a place. By the way, Boss Shen, why are you asking this?”

“Nothing, thanks. You can go back to sleep now,” Shen Cheng said with a smile.

On the other end, Zhou Dongliang patted his large chest and said with enthusiasm: “Don’t mention it! Boss Shen, if you ever need anything, just come to me. As long as it’s something I can help with, I’ll definitely not turn you away!”

Because of Shen Cheng’s Cat café, Zhou Dongliang’s live stream room had gained an incredible amount of popularity, and even the live stream’s revenue had multiplied several times. It could be said that Zhou Dongliang completely saw Shen Cheng as a benefactor.

Shen Cheng nodded, exchanged a few pleasantries with Zhou Dongliang, then hung up the phone. He sat in the car, frowning, and began to think.

As for Lingshi City… it wasn’t too far. If things went smoothly, he might even be able to return by tomorrow afternoon.

After calculating the route in his mind, Shen Cheng stepped on the accelerator, and the car slowly started.

…

Lingshi City, even among the prosperous cities of Solmara, was known for its fame, as the city was by the coast. Its port could directly connect to foreign countries, and foreign people with heterochromatic eyes and blonde hair were commonly seen here. Compared to Lingshi City, some cities seemed less prosperous.

However, Shen Cheng didn’t have the leisure to admire the city. By the time he arrived, it was already near noon. In order to find Ye Xi, Shen Cheng drove straight to the Lingshi City port.

After stopping in front of the port, Shen Cheng got out of the car. The strong smell of fish in the air made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Shaking his head, Shen Cheng began to observe the port. It seemed that a cruise ship had just set sail, and the sound of the ship’s horn from the distant sea was somewhat harsh. The port was bustling with people, including several foreigners with blonde hair walking among the crowd.

A woman with chestnut-colored long hair tied in a side ponytail stood in the crowd. She dragged a large suitcase behind her, continuously rummaging through the shoulder bag she was carrying. Her face was full of anxiety, and her eyes seemed to glimmer with unshed tears.

(It’s hard to find that graceful noblewoman aura…)

If it were any other day, Shen Cheng might have kindly asked the woman what was wrong, but right now his mind was solely focused on finding Ye Xi. He decided to ignore the woman and turned his gaze to the surroundings of the port, hoping to spot any nearby forest.

However, the view around the port was obstructed by tall buildings, and not a trace of a forest could be seen.

Could there really be a forest around here…?
