Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Alright then! Since Brother Cheng has given his word, I shall be forthright in my requests,” Xia Wan confidently stated, her intuition telling her that Zhang Cheng would accede to her needs.
“The sanatorium is currently facing some operational challenges, and I would greatly appreciate it, Brother Cheng, if you could lend a hand in resolving these issues.
“Moreover, there have been some suspicious individuals monitoring our family’s new shop lately, and I suspect Jiang Lu might be involved. I’m hoping you could address this matter as well.”
“Little girl, you’re quite…” Zhang Cheng began, adopting a serious demeanor, “You’re certainly not holding back!”
Yet, Xia Wan maintained her smile. “I presume, Brother Cheng, that you wouldn’t prefer the information we’ve gathered to be made public. That could get quite complicated…”
Upon hearing Xia Wan’s subtle implication, Zhang Cheng’s expression grew even more solemn.
He had initially intended to lightly jest with Xia Wan, but he recognized that her request was genuine and irrevocable.
“Alright! The issues you’ve raised are somewhat intricate, but they’re manageable,” Zhang Cheng rea.s.sured, gesturing with his hand. “Once s.h.i.+ Yu recovers, rest a.s.sured, I’ll ensure the safe return of your parents.”
“Thank you so much, Brother Cheng!” Xia Wan’s face brightened with grat.i.tude, and she gave Chen MO’s hand a rea.s.suring squeeze.
Chen MO immediately grasped Xia Wan’s intent.
“Brother Cheng, Xia Wan is feeling quite weary. If there are no further matters, we’ll take your leave now,” Chen MO said, guiding Xia Wan towards the exit.
Zhang Cheng watched their retreating figures with narrowed eyes, contemplating, “This young lady is far from ordinary. It would be wise to stay on her good side in the future.”
Once in the car, Chen MO queried Xia Wan, “How can you be so certain that Brother Cheng will ensure your parents’ return?
“And what makes you so sure that he would agree to all your requests? What if he had refused?”
“My brother reported seeing Jiang Lu being taken away from school,” Xia Wan revealed, showing her phone to Chen Mo.
That was the message Xia Chen had sent soon after they reached the hospital.
“Are you convinced it was Brother Cheng’s men?” Chen MO asked again, his curiosity piqued.
“Considering the Jiang family’s sway in Tao City, would Jiang Lu, their young master, be so easily apprehended in this small town?” Xia Wan replied with a casual shrug.
“In this place, only a handful of people could dare to meddle with Jiang Lu.”
“Furthermore, you mentioned Jiang Lu had involved Zhang Cheng’s people in his schemes. Do you really think Brother Cheng would allow him to continue unchecked?”
“That does make sense,” Chen MO acknowledged, then added with a hint of helplessness, “You’re incredibly audacious. What if your boldness had upset
Brother Cheng and he chose to ignore these issues?”
“That won’t happen,” Xia Wan stated with confidence.
“Why so sure?” Chen MO was somewhat baffled.
“Do you actually believe Brother Cheng came to this town merely for leisure?” Xia Wan quipped, her nose wrinkling playfully. “You must have also deduced that he’s here on a specific mission.”
“As to the nature of that mission, I’m still in the dark, yet I can’t shake the feeling…” Xia Wan’s lips tightened momentarily, “I suspect it’s somehow tied to the recent military procurement.”
“You mean the new contract your family just secured?” Chen Mot s expression grew serious as well.
“Indeed, military procurements are significant affairs. The sudden approach to our family does seem rather peculiar,” Xia Wan couldn’t hide her concern.
“However, I’ve checked the credentials of the colonel that Zhou En met, and nothing seemed amiss.” Chen MO, too, sensed an anomaly but couldn’t pinpoint its exact nature.
“Let’s head back to the shop first. I need to verify a few things with Zhou En,” Xia Wan suggested, making calls to Xia Feng and Xia Chen.
With Zhang Cheng’s commitment, Xia Hai and Yan Han’s return seemed imminent.
Despite Xia Chen and Xia Feng’s apparent calm over the past few days, the stress was evident in their lack of appet.i.te.
For youths in their teens and early twenties, maintaining composure under such strain was no small feat.
Listening to Xia Wan comforting her brothers over the phone, Chen MO felt as if she bore the wisdom and experience far beyond her years.
Yet, she was merely a teenager!
After ending the call, Xia Wan noticed Chen MO sneaking glances at her as he drove. “What are you looking at?”
“How beautiful you are?” Chen MO exclaimed spontaneously.
Xia Wan, taken aback at first, soon burst into laughter.
Chen MO, seeing Xia Wan’s smile after several tense days, finally relaxed with a sigh of relief..
