Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Wang Xu saw that Fang Ya was anxious, so she called Uncle Chen, wanting him to turn around and send them to the hospital to look for Shao Xiang.

Before Wang Xu’s call could be made, He Feng opened the door and walked in.

When Fang Ya saw that He Feng had returned, she quickly made her way to him. “My mother is missing.”

He Feng was shocked and quickly asked, “What happened? When did she disappear?”

Fang Ya was a little flustered and was unlike her usual calm self.

She tried to tell him about how she could not contact Shao Xiang, but because her muddled thoughts caused her to ramble aimlessly, He Feng could not understand what she said.

Wang Xu quickly spoke up. “Aunt Shao usually comes back before three o’clock in the afternoon. Even if she comes back late, she would tell Sister Ya.”

“But when we came back today, we did not see her, and she was not picking up.” Wang Xu knew that Fang Ya was worried, so she explained it all to He Feng.

He Feng listened to Wang Xu’s words and thought for a moment before saying, “Didn’t Uncle Chen pick mom up today?”

Fang Ya said with some distress, “I originally asked Uncle Chen to pick her up, but halfway through, mom called and said that she didn’t need to pick her up. She would come back on her own.”

“But she hasn’t come back yet, and she can’t be found.” As Fang Ya said this, her hands unconsciously trembled.

He Feng saw Fang Ya’s nervousness and quickly held her hand, trying to comfort her.

He Feng held Fang Ya’s hand and sat down on the sofa. Then he continued, “Calm down first. Think about it. Did she say she wanted to go somewhere else?”

Fang Ya took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She thought for a moment and said, “No!”

“Then, has she been acting strange lately?” He Feng asked again.

Fang Ya immediately nodded and said, “She said that her brother contacted her two days ago, but she didn’t give me any details.”

“Then, do you know where she is? Or, is it possible that mom went to meet him?” He Feng confirmed again.

Fang Ya shook her head and spoke a little irritably, “I didn’t ask in detail. I just thought that she might not want to tell me for the time being.”

He Feng nodded in understanding and then said, “Don’t be anxious. Let’s wait and see. Maybe she’ll be back in a while.”

With He Feng by her side, Fang Ya’s heart seemed to be a little more at ease.

However, she could not contact Shao Xiang. Fang Ya sat on the spot, holding her phone and refusing to put it down.

Wang Xu knew Fang Ya’s worries, but she did not know how to comfort her.

He Feng went to the school to fetch He Peng and Tang Tang home.

The two children rarely saw He Feng come to school, and their faces were full of excitement.

But when they entered the door and did not see Shao Xiang, Tang Tang’s face turned frustrated.

Mingxia prepared dinner. Seeing that Fang Ya didn’t have much of an appetite, she specially prepared some porridge and side dishes so that Fang Ya could eat some.

When it reached seven or eight o’clock in the evening, Fang Ya really could not wait any longer.

She had called Shao Xiang earlier, but there was no answer. Her phone had been powered off.

Fang Ya did not know if Shao Xiang’s phone had run out of battery or if someone had done it on purpose.

He Feng had been by Fang Ya’s side the whole time, trying to ease her.

Finally, when it was almost ten o’clock in the evening, an unfamiliar phone call came in.

Fang Ya hurriedly picked it up. “Hello? Who is this?”

The other party hesitated for a moment before asking, “Excuse me, is this Fang Ya?”

Fang Ya quickly replied, “This is Fang Ya. May I know who you are?”

The other party coughed and continued, “I am Shao Xiang’s eldest brother, Shao Hua.”

Fang Ya seemed to have expected this and was not too surprised. She just asked, “Is my mother with you?”

Shao Hua hesitated for a moment before saying, “Your mother came to my place this afternoon, but she has already left.”

“Left? Where did she leave from? When did she leave? Where did she go now?” Fang Ya threw him several questions in a row.

The other party seemed to have been frightened by Fang Ya’s attitude and was suddenly speechless.

He Feng quickly took the phone over and continued to ask, “Here’s the situation. We’ve been calling her mom, but she hasn’t picked up.”

“We don’t know if she’s busy or…” He Feng paused.

Shao Hua’s voice came again, “Ah, she was at my place in the afternoon. We were talking about something, so she didn’t pick up the phone.”

“When did she leave your place?” He Feng asked again.

“About two or three o’clock in the afternoon,” Shao Hua continued, “She said she was going home to see the children.”

“She hasn’t come back yet…” He Feng continued, “Where did she leave from? We can go and look for her along the way.”

Shao Hua seemed to be a little hesitant. He thought for a moment and said, “From Xinhua village in the west of the city.”

He Feng was stunned for a moment and asked, “Xinhua village in the west of the city? Xinhua village in the newly opened Jingshang Resort?”

Shao Hua did not seem to expect that He Feng would know so much, so he was silent for a moment.

He Feng knew that the other party was on guard, so he softened his tone and asked, “It’s more convenient for us to consider the distance of her return.. Please tell me the specific location.”
