124 Money Matters (1/2)

”Big sister, is there something wrong?” Scarlet asked sweetly when she saw that Katherine was coming back after rushing out for some reason. She was just about to leave and visit her little brother in the hospital when the Captain told her there are two important people who would like to talk to her.

Scarlet was already late and her brother was probably waiting hungrily so she wanted to quickly rush away but seeing they were two pretty big sisters, she decided to spare them a minute. The one with crimson hair and two katanas on her back didn't seem like someone who would accept rejections.

She was tense for a moment but fortunately, as they exchanged a few sentences, Scarlet realised they were actually a pair of nice people and what was more amazing, they belonged to the same organisation that big brother Wuxing talked about. Although this made her suspicious, she was also very interested.

Not finding anyone behind the containers, Katherine shook her head and admitted, ”It was a false alarm. I thought someone was watching us from the distance but I didn't find anyone.”

Scarlet exclaimed to that and nodded decisively, agreeing with that person's taste as she gave both of them a look over, ”Oh! That might be true. Big Sisters are so pretty that I doubt anyone would miss the opportunity to take a glance, hehe.”

Smiling cutely while holding onto the corners of her skirt, Anna felt like to hug Scarlet and she didn't exactly that, staying true to her desires, ”Ah, you are so cute, can I call you Scarlet?” Anna loved cuddles and as Katherine didn't like them, she always had a great shortage of them. Today she received some from Wuxing else Scarlet would definitely find it hard to escape from her clutches.

”Mhmm, I don't mind.” Scarlet returned the hug, not minding it one big and asked curiously, recalling she was actually in a hurry, ”Is there anything I can help you? I have something scheduled for now so I don't want to be late. Can we talk as we walk to the bus stop?”

Katherine didn't mind it, inviting Scarlet to walk first with her hand as she said, ”Naturally. Don't worry, we won't take you long. We just wanted to ask if you have known a person called Wuxing?”

Hearing the question, a knowing look appeared in Scarlet's eyes as she figured they would ask about Wuxing. She pretended she didn't know about his fake death and asked back as they walked forward, ”You are asking about big brother Wuxing? Mhmm, I know him. We met on the ship earlier today and he was very nice to me. How is he?”

Anna squinted her eyes to figure something from Scarlet's eyes but couldn't get anything so she asked softly, ”So you don't know yet…?” Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

”Hmm? About what?” There was a confusion on Scarlet's face but then she questioned worriedly, ”Did something happened to big brother?”

Seeing the innocence on Scarlet's face, Anna continued before Katherine hits her with the truth, ”Well, he seems to be missing and we are searching for him. We are his friends from the same organisation. We are asking everyone if they have any information about him.”

Scarlet sighed in relief when she heard that and explained herself, ”Well, the last time I saw him, big brother was still on the ship. Later on, I was staying in my room so I don't know what happened to him.”

She naturally would not give any vital info to strangers without confirming that they were actually Wuxing's friends. They could also be hunting for him so it was better to stay quiet. Wuxing already assured her that everything was planned and it all happened just like he told her so she believed he was safe.
