Capítulo 896: Chapter 896: You Are Practically Her Elixir
Speaking of which, it was Pei Yuanchen who discovered where He Jingyao was being held.
The day Zhixi went to the hospital for a check-up, Pei Yuanchen was also there, but he didn’t stay with the He Family’s bodyguards; instead, he watched from a distance.
When Zhixi was taken away by Old Qin, he quietly followed in his car. As a result, he unsurprisingly discovered He Jingyao’s whereabouts.
When Zhixi left in the car, Pei Yuanchen was cautious. He quietly followed He Jingyao.
The car drove for a full three hours, and afraid of being discovered, he followed with great difficulty. Although he eventually lost track, he still managed to roughly figure out He Jingyao’s location.
After returning, he told Zhixi, and Zhixi then contacted Feng Qian and Ning Yichen, leading to today’s cooperation.
So Pei Yuanchen felt that he definitely deserved to be thanked for his hard work.
On the way back, Feng Qian was driving, and Pei Yuanchen sat beside He Jingyao, looking him up and down: “Are you hurt?”
“No.” He Jingyao glanced at him, “And I wasn’t poisoned either, rest assured.”
“I’m just amazed.” Pei Yuanchen looked surprised, “You were held by terrorists for a month, yet nothing happened?”
“Because they tried to recruit me.” He Jingyao sneered slightly with a curl of his lips, “Lawrence said he admired me.”
Pei Yuanchen was taken aback.
Is this guy really not showing off?
“How’s Zhixi?” He Jingyao asked in a deep voice.
“She’s doing well. After seeing you that day, she gained two pounds in three days.” Pei Yuanchen snorted, “You’re practically her elixir.”
He Jingyao laughed softly, and his usual composed and calm face finally showed a hint of urgency.
So, this is what they call a heart eager to return home.

He Family’s old residence.
Zhixi held Xiaobao, sitting on the sofa intently watching TV.
The news mentioned that over a dozen “Base” organization’s strongholds in Country Z were wiped out in one fell swoop. Although some remnants were still at large, they couldn’t stir up any waves, assuring everyone that all’s well.
Zhixi pressed her lips tightly, yet her heart was still lifted with concern.
The Base may have been successfully destroyed, but… what about Jingyao?
She thought about calling Pei Yuanchen but reconsidered. If he was in the midst of chaos, the call would only distract him.
So she could only endure bitterly.
Xiaobao was engrossed in watching TV, the screen filled with gunfire, keeping his eyes wide open without a blink.
At this moment, the sound of an engine came from outside, making Zhixi’s heart tighten as she abruptly stood up and turned around.
However, it was He Yirong, just back from the company, rubbing his hands: “Jingyao hasn’t returned yet?”
Zhixi gently shook her head.
He Yirong’s face showed a hint of disappointment, along with a trace of worry.
Then, another car stopped at the entrance, and He Yirong and Zhixi both looked over expectantly, only to see Liu Minjun.
“Why are you all looking at me like that…” Liu Minjun was a bit perplexed, “Where’s Jingyao?”
This time, it was He Yirong who shook his head.
“He’s probably still on the way…” Liu Minjun huffed at He Yirong, “Stop blocking the way, go do your own thing.”
So the few of them went about their business, but they were all distracted, even Uncle Li, who had taken several strolls in the living room.
Only Xiaobao remained engrossed in watching TV.
But he was the first to jump up: “Dad’s back!”
After speaking, he ran towards the door.
