Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Hearing Xia Chens conjecture, a sigh escaped Xia Wans lips. Brother, Xia Ru is doing fine now.

She was visited by Eldest Uncle and others just a couple of days ago. Xia Wans voice carried a rea.s.suring tone. Ill keep a vigilant eye on Xia Ru, ensuring her safety until our parents are found.

Xia Chens lips pressed tightly, betraying a struggle to contain his emotions.

Xia Wan, observing him, exhaled softly. Brother, dont fret. I a.s.sure you, Dad and Mom are out of harms way for now.

Im on it Ill locate them as soon as I can! Her promise was fervent, determined. You wouldnt want them worrying over you, right?

Isnt there something I can do? Xia Chens expression was a mix of frustration and determination. Even Little Feng is contributing. What about me?

Youre 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 a.s.sist, he remained silent.

After a moments thought, he offered, If you need help, just call me. Im 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 Chens 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? Hes been absent for the last two days.

He hasnt been to school? Xia Wan inquired, surprised.

Yes, I heard there was a family issue, and hes on leave, Xia Chen confirmed, recalling overhearing Song Zhi and others discussing it.

But why Jiang Lu? Xia Chens expression s.h.i.+fted to one of concern. Is it possible hes linked to what happened to Mom and Dad?

Xia Wan quickly rea.s.sured him with a pat. Its just a suspicion for now. Lets not jump to conclusions or tip off the wrong people. Xia Chen nodded solemnly. If I see him, Ill be watchful.

Maybe I should visit his house? he suggested impulsively.

But Xia Wan immediately dismissed the idea. You hardly know him; itd be too suspicious.

Just observe his interactions and any odd behavior. And remember, dont 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. Hes been through so much lately.

Yeah! Hes really maturing fast, Xia Chen added with a smile.

Meanwhile, Chen MO, sitting in his car parked outside Xia Wans house, dialed

Xu Yes 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 familys 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. Lets meet, Zhang Cheng said, pre-empting Chen Mos request with an invitation of his own..
