Chen Yin asked with some worry, "Sister-in-law, are you alright? Are you still listening?"
Chiang Xiao found her voice again, "You said, I’m listening."
"Officer Yang meant that Xinian might not necessarily be in trouble right now, but since those two people came to G Province and then vanished, it’s very likely they went after Xinian. Xinian, in order not to bring us danger, might not show himself or contact us at this time."
"Did Officer Yang and the others look for him? Is anyone looking for him?"
"Of course, there are people looking for him. However, they have to do it covertly. After all, those two individuals are in hiding. Officer Yang is afraid that our efforts to find Xinian could lead to those two discovering him, which would put Xinian in jeopardy."
Upon hearing this, Chiang Xiao actually felt calmer.
Meng Xinian was no fool; she believed he would be okay.
Moreover, he had already returned to City M. He was back!
This place was his turf, not the domain of those two, and Meng Xinian was much more familiar with it than they were. With the advantage of territory, and possibly of people too, no matter how much Xinian disliked socializing, he should know more people than two strangers, right?
But, even though she was reasoning this analytically, and such analysis seemed perfectly logical, Chiang Xiao’s heart still felt uneasy, unable to settle for quite a while.
Because three people had already been harmed.
Since those individuals had taken part in missions with Xinian, it indicated they were definitely not weak.
Yet, they had been harmed.
Perhaps the place they were targeted was familiar to them too.
Those two might be even more formidable than them.
Just considering this made Chiang Xiao’s heart race.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law?" Chen Yin noticed she had gone silent again.
"Sister-in-law, don’t worry too much. The first thing Xinian did when he arrived was to think of you, to prepare a gift for you. That’s why I feel I needed to be frank with you about this situation."
"Thank you, Chen Yin, thank you. Where are you now? If it’s convenient, come over. We’ve just arrived and are about to have hotpot. Join us."
Chen Yin felt a bit strange upon hearing her words.
Out of nowhere, she mentioned wanting to have hotpot?
Could she even eat hotpot at this time?
It was said that Xinian’s fiancée was seven years younger than him.
At this time, she was but a child not yet fifteen—perhaps, she didn’t realize how complex and dangerous the situation was?
Chen Yin couldn’t help but give a wry smile.
He truly was foolish. How could he even think of telling Chiang Xiao, to see if she had any ideas? It must be his concern creating chaos, allowing his worry for Xinian to affect him.
He sighed and said, "Sister-in-law, I won’t be coming over. You guys go ahead and eat."
Chiang Xiao continued, "Come over. How else are we going to discuss how to find Meng Xinian?"
Chen Yin paused, surprised.
So that was why she invited him over?
Hearing the steadiness and calmness in her voice now, Chen Yin felt hope rising within him again. Perhaps, the girl Xinian was so concerned about was indeed a very different kind of girl?
"Alright, I’ll come over, it will take about fifteen minutes to get there."
Chiang Xiao hung up the phone and turned to Chiang Songhai and the other two, who had been looking on worriedly, "Brother Xinian is back, but he might be in some trouble."
"We heard just now, is Xinian in great danger?" Chiang Songhai asked with a tense and worried expression.
Chiang Xiao shook her head, "Grandpa, he will be fine. You know he is very skilled. We’ll discuss how to find him once Chen Yin arrives."
