Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Hearing Xia Chen’s conjecture, a sigh escaped Xia Wan’s lips. “Brother, Xia Ru is doing fine now.”
“She was visited by Eldest Uncle and others just a couple of days ago.” Xia Wan’s voice carried a reassuring tone. “I’ll keep a vigilant eye on Xia Ru, ensuring her safety until our parents are found.”
Xia Chen’s lips pressed tightly, betraying a struggle to contain his emotions.
Xia Wan, observing him, exhaled softly. “Brother, don’t fret. I assure you, Dad and Mom are out of harm’s way for now.”
“I’m on it – I’ll locate them as soon as I can!” Her promise was fervent, determined. “You wouldn’t want them worrying over you, right?”
“Isn’t there something I can do?” Xia Chen’s expression was a mix of frustration and determination. “Even Little Feng is contributing. What about me?”
“You’re aware how much our parents are pinning their hopes on your success,” Xia Wan said, smiling encouragingly.
“Imagine their pride if you represent our school excellently with the foreign guests!
“And I have faith that Mom and Dad are safe!”
Xia Chen opened his mouth to respond, but then, conceding to his limited ability to assist, he remained silent.
After a moment’s thought, he offered, “If you need help, just call me. I’m here for you, always.”
Xia Wan nodded, then suddenly remembered something. “Actually, Brother, there is a favor I need from you.”
“What is it?” Xia Chen’s eyes sparkled with eagerness.
“I need you to keep an eye on Jiang Lu at school,” Xia Wan said seriously.
“Jiang Lu?” Xia Chen furrowed his brow, puzzled. “Why? He’s been absent for the last two days.”
“He hasn’t been to school?” Xia Wan inquired, surprised.
‘Yes, I heard there was a family issue, and he’s on leave,” Xia Chen confirmed, recalling overhearing Song Zhi and others discussing it.
“But why Jiang Lu?” Xia Chen’s expression shifted to one of concern. “Is it possible he’s linked to what happened to Mom and Dad?”
Xia Wan quickly reassured him with a pat. “It’s just a suspicion for now. Let’s not jump to conclusions or tip off the wrong people.” Xia Chen nodded solemnly. “If I see him, I’ll be watchful.”
“Maybe I should visit his house?” he suggested impulsively.
But Xia Wan immediately dismissed the idea. “You hardly know him; it’d be too suspicious.
“Just observe his interactions and any odd behavior. And remember, don’t do anything that might blow our cover, otherwise…”
“I understand,” Xia Chen promised, his eyes alight with resolve.
Xia Wan sighed in relief, her gaze drifting to Xia Feng, curled up and asleep on the sofa. “He’s been through so much lately.”
‘Yeah! He’s really maturing fast,” Xia Chen added with a smile. contemporary romance
Meanwhile, Chen MO, sitting in his car parked outside Xia Wan’s house, dialed
Xu Ye’s number. “I need a thorough check on Jiang Lu.”
“I need every detail on his recent whereabouts and activities. And update me on the Jiang family’s current situation,” Chen MO insisted before hanging up.
Xu Ye, staring at the disconnected phone, grumbled and cursed under his breath. Despite his frustration, he got out of bed and headed to his study.
Chen MO, undeterred, called Zhang Cheng next.
“I have something urgent to discuss. Let’s meet,” Zhang Cheng said, pre-empting Chen Mo’s request with an invitation of his own..
