Chapter 227 Envy was spreading (1/2)
Xia Nuan passed Zeng Guihua a glass of water, “I don’t know where she is. Do you know who had connections with her before? Have you noticed anything unusual before she left?”
Zeng Guihua took a sip of tea and thought for a while, “She said she would come to Modu City, but I haven’t heard from her since then. Nuan, is it possible that she is in danger?”
Zeng Guihua didn’t want to drink, but gripped Xia Nuan’s hands, asking again and again. It was obvious that she was anxious about Xia Yan.
“Mom, are you serious that you have no idea about what happened?” Xia Nuan asked.
Zeng Guihua still shook her head.
Xia Nuan frowned, “I swept my dad’s grave a long time ago. But after that, I was kidnapped to an island and lost my phone as well. A woman who looked exactly like me came to Modu City in my name. She had done some horrible things, and I suspect it was Xia Yan. However, there’s no word from her.”
“It’s impossible. Xia Yan couldn’t pretend to be you. You have similar voices and figures, but your faces are disparate. She couldn’t do that!” Zeng Guihua contradicted without thinking.
Since there was no proof that Xia Yan did it, it’s just a suspicion, so Xia Nuan didn’t argue, “What matters now is to find Xia Yan. That’s the only way to find out the truth. I’m also worried about her.”
Zeng Guihua got a little peace, “That’s right, Nuan. At least she is your sister, you can’t turn a blind eye to her. Anyway, you must get her back.”
Xia Nuan nodded. After comforting Zeng Guihua, she accompanied her to eat some food. Then Zeng Guihua was taken to the bedroom to rest.
Ye Sichen didn’t come back, so Xia Nuan came downstairs to find Paul. Maybe Paul knew where Ye Sichen was.
“By the way, I forget to tell you something. Ye Sichen was attacked when I came to Feicheng City. But a woman saved him, so he survived.” Zeng Guihua said.
Xia Nuan halted and then turned back to the bedroom. She asked Zeng Guihua, “What happened? Tell me what is going on?”
Zeng Guihua said, “He was attacked by someone with weapon when he got off the car. But an unknown woman protected him from it…”
Before Zeng Guihua finished, Xia Nuan came downstairs to inquire Paul.
Actually, Xia Nuan found that Paul was preoccupied and abnormal at the beginning.
“Paul, who attacked Mr. Ye? And the woman prevented him from being attacked. Who is she?” Xia Nuan asked urgently.
“According to our investigation, Yuezhao Organization is behind this attack, and Ms. Luo Lan saved Mr. Ye eventually.” Paul said.
Hearing these words, Xia Nuan slumped down into the sofa thoughtfully, wearing an expression of complexity. After a long time, she asked, “Is Ms. Luo all right?”
“Now she is given an emergency treatment, so we don’t know the current situation.”
Paul went out, and Xia Nuan tossed and turned.
She thought about it. Finally, she decided to ask the situation of Luo Lan. She called Ye Sichen’s personal number with the landline.
“Hello?” The deep and hoarse voice came up from the other side of the landline.
Xia Nuan held her breath subconsciously for few seconds and then asked, “How about Luo Lan?”
“Her arm was injured. She’s already out of the woods now. But she is frail, so the wound will heal slowly.” Ye Sichen said.
“Hope she will get better soon.”
“She will. You should go to bed early. I will come back in a few days.” Ye Sichen said in a soft voice, which made Xia Nuan’s heart beat quickly.
Ye Sichen hung up before Xia Nuan asked more.
Starting at the landline, Xia Nuan put it back. She lay on bed quietly and thoughtfully.
Luo Lan saw Ye Sichen answering the phone outside. There was a trace of satisfaction on her pale face, which disappeared rapidly when he came in.
“Ye, you can leave if you are busy. Luo Mi will be here with me later.” Luo Lan said.
Ye Sichen sat back and tucked her in, “It’s okay. I’ll be here with you. Are you silly? Why did you risk your life under such a dangerous circumstance?”
“I don’t want to see you in danger. Ye, I don’t want you to get hurt. Recently, my eyes are always twitching. I was worried about you, so I chose to follow you all the time. Not surprisingly, someone wanted to attack you. Ye, be careful if you go out. You’d better put on a body armor.” She said in frailty, “They used an anaesthetic bomb, but next time maybe they will take a fatal shot.”
“I know. I will work on it. But don’t take risks next time, okay?” Ye Sichen told her with concern.
Luo Lan nodded hesitantly.
Zeng Guihua urged Xia Nuan to find Xia Yan every day. Xia Nuan called her subordinates in Aoshi City to go to Zhongshan City for Xia Yan. A few days later, there was a news.
Someone retrieved a woman’s corpse from the sea between Aoshi City and Zhongshan City. However, the body was soaked in the water for too long that it was beyond recognition. Besides, according to Lan, Ye Enchen had come to Aoshi City with the woman who impersonated Xia Nuan. And he had taken her traveling from Aoshi City to Zhongshan City. But he went back to Modu City alone.
It was likely Ye Enchen killed Xia Yan.
