Chapter 644: Chapter 644: Back Again_1 Chapter 644: Chapter 644: Back Again_1 Xue Lihong gave a wry smile; the third master had a grudge-bearing nature, something he should have known all along. He was the one who had forcibly brought the man back to the Imperial City, an act that the third master had never forgotten. “There’s news of your father!”
“No!” Xue Lihong shook his head, “Our people found evidence that your father was present somewhere a month ago.”
Huo Beijiang silently calculated the timeline in his heart, “Around the time of my older brother’s death.”
“The gentleman doesn’t seem to be free, and our people are still following the leads. We will report to you immediately once we have any news.”
He furrowed his brows and pondered for a moment before speaking, “Tsk, tsk, tsk… despite Principal Huo’s age, there are still people foolish enough to kidnap him. They don’t want money or power, could it be for his good looks?”
Xue Lihong’s lips twitched at the corner on hearing this, thinking that if beauty was a qualification for being kidnapped, then the kidnapper would have chosen the third master instead.
“I see! Don’t come to me unless necessary, it affects my mood.” If it were not for the fact that his young wife finally married him, he would have definitely kicked Xue Lihong upon seeing him this time. Speaking of which, he wondered what his young wife was doing right now?
That girl was way too heartless, he needed to keep her close by as soon as possible.
Cold sweat slid down Xue Lihong’s forehead and cheek. Before he went to fetch Huo Beijiang, he had looked down upon and disagreed with this young master. But once Huo Beijiang returned from the Extreme Training Camp with his men, he didn’t dare to disagree with him at all.
“There… there’s also something else.” Xue Lihong said with difficulty, “The leader wants you to return home once.”
“Did he mention what for?”
Feeling obligated to respond, Xue Lihong said, “It seems to be concerning your fiancee.”
“Lu Dongxin!” Huo Beijiang’s thin lips drew a cold curve, “Understood! I will return when I get the time.” It was good she hadn’t come looking for him, he had intention to go back to her and call off the marriage anyway.
At dinner time, Zhang Fengmei had the food ready and the bath water heated. She was anxiously waiting at the entrance as she had received a call from Nan Fei yesterday saying she would return today, who hadn’t returned yet.
From childhood till now, Zhuanzhuan and Jiang Yang had never left her for so long or traveled that far.
She was uncertain if they had good food and comfortable sleep in the province.
Jiang Dechun walked out of the house and saw his wife, who was almost becoming Jiang Yang from her worries, “Why are you fussing so much? Don’t you trust Nan Fei? What are you worrying about?”
Jiang Dechun was much more invigorated now compared to last year. He stood straight, owned a food factory, and his daughter won the provincial champion. Everyone praised him for his good luck in whatever he did.
This also raised the Jiang family’s status in Xiao Wang village.
Having a provincial champion from the village was great honor. It was expected that the girls from Xiao Wang Village would be more popular than the other villages.
The villagers had always respected people with knowledge. To achieve the highest score in the entire province was as though a WenQu star had descended to the earth.
Wasn’t it a joyful thing?
“How can I not be worried?”
“You’re just a worrier.” Jiang Dechun picked up the dustpan, “I am going to feed the chickens, you take your time and wait.”
Just as Jiang Dechun left, a stranger’s car stopped on the road from the south, turned back without entering the village. From a distance, Zhang Fengmei couldn’t clearly make out whether it was Nan Fei and her siblings stepping out of the car.
But she could vaguely see that there were three people. Filled with conjecture and excited, she hastened towards them. As soon as she stepped out of the village, she met them face to face, “You’re back!”
