Xia Qing Tian looked at the button in her hand, her gaze deep.
She didn't know if Tang Jia Ming Zhu was an enemy or a friend, nor if this button belonged to her.
However, looking at Da Ya's amnesia, sending Da Ya back would result in only two outcomes.
Either it would be letting a tiger return to the mountains, or a lamb entering a tiger's den.
Both were scenarios Xia Qing Tian did not want to see.
Keeping it temporarily with the Li family became the most foolproof method.
But it couldn't be kept this way indefinitely. If an evildoer discovered Da Ya, it would be a disaster for the Li family.
Thinking of this, Xia Qing Tian dialed Yue Cheng Feng's number: "Little Uncle, are you busy?"
"No, Yue Shi wants to hold a jewelry show recently, and I'm selecting samples. What's up?" Yue Cheng Feng asked.
"I heard that the capital is not peaceful right now, and people have gone missing. I'm worried about your safety, so I'm calling to ask," Xia Qing Tian said.
"Oh, you're talking about the Tang family's matter?" Yue Cheng Feng smiled upon hearing Xia Qing Tian's concern and said, "Don't worry, the Yue family is very safe right now. As for you, take care of yourself in Z City. Let me know anytime if you need anything."
"Don't worry, Little Uncle, I won't be polite with you. Oh, right, which Tang family is it? I heard it vaguely and don't quite understand," Xia Qing Tian pressed.
"It's a long story. The Tang Corporation is in the pharmaceutical business and is considered a prominent aristocratic family. It was fine before, but since the new family head took over, perhaps due to being too young, many in the Tang family are not obedient. Some people left due to internal conflicts, and this time it's likely the Tang family's own people who acted. There are also rumors about the Miao family, but I'm not entirely sure," Yue Cheng Feng said. "Are you very interested in this matter?"
"Somewhat. Little Uncle, can you help me investigate further?" Xia Qing Tian said, "I have a friend who is also surnamed Tang. She's been a bit distracted these past few days. I thought she had a breakup, but hearing you say this… it is indeed a big deal. She looks quite pitiful. Can you help me pay attention to it?"
"Okay," Yue Cheng Feng agreed immediately and said, "I'll contact you if I have any news."
"Alright, thank you, Little Uncle." After thanking him, Xia Qing Tian reminded Yue Cheng Feng to rest and eat on time before hanging up.
Being cared for by Xia Qing Tian, Yue Cheng Feng's smile lingered on his lips after hanging up the phone.
"What's wrong? So happy?" a female voice came from the doorway. "The doctor said you need more rest after being discharged, so what are you doing?"
"Zi Xuan, you're here? I'm just selecting samples, it's not strenuous work," Yue Cheng Feng said with a smile. "Qing Tian just called me."
"Is that so." Hearing Yue Cheng Feng's words, Yu Zi Xuan's gaze shifted slightly, then she curved her lips into a gentle smile. "No wonder you're so happy. What did she call about? Could it be about the Tang family matter…"
"How do you know?" Yue Cheng Feng asked curiously. "She was mainly concerned about me, telling me to rest well, and then casually inquired about matters in the capital."
"Yes, yes, your Qing Tian cares most about you, her little uncle." Yu Zi Xuan said with a dry laugh. "The Tang family's affairs haven't caused too much of a stir in the capital, not many people know about it. Qing Tian is in Z City but is quite well-informed."
"Qing Tian is smart," Yue Cheng Feng chuckled. "Zi Xuan, if we had a daughter, wouldn't it be great if she was like Qing Tian?"
"Get lost! We haven't even proposed, and you're already thinking about having a daughter. You're taking advantage of me!" Yu Zi Xuan's cheeks flushed as she retorted, "When did you become so glib?"
"I… I'm just imagining it first." Yue Cheng Feng gave a dry laugh, then took Yu Zi Xuan's hand and apologized. "If it weren't for the many troubles the Yue family has faced in the past two years, you would have been my wife long ago."
Hearing Yue Cheng Feng's words, Yu Zi Xuan's expression became complex. She then lowered her head and kissed Yue Cheng Feng's forehead. "No rush, whether it's sooner or later doesn't matter. What is meant to be yours, no one can take away."
"Mhm," Yue Cheng Feng replied with a smile. "No one can take it away."
"Then… what if I wasn't Yu Zi Xuan?" Yu Zi Xuan asked with her eyes lowered, as if joking. Then she raised her eyes again and looked at Yue Cheng Feng somewhat nervously.
"Well, when you marry me, if you don't want to be called Yu Zi Xuan, you can be called Yue Yu Shi," Yue Cheng Feng replied.
"Get lost! You're becoming more and more inappropriate!" Yu Zi Xuan burst into laughter and lightly punched Yue Cheng Feng's shoulder with her fist.
After a bout of joking, Yu Zi Xuan then claimed to have something to do and left first.
Outside, after getting into the car, Yu Zi Xuan took out her phone and dialed a number in her contacts, saying, "Xia Qing Tian is investigating the Tang family's matters. We must find Tang Jia Ming Zhu before she does!"
"Yes!" came a male voice from the other end of the phone.
"Is there any news about Tang Jia Yin Zhu?" Yu Zi Xuan asked.
"Not yet. We sent people to the village where Tang Jia Yin Zhu used to hide, but we heard that Tang Jia Yin Zhu left long ago, and the villagers don't know where she went."
"Keep looking," Yu Zi Xuan said. "This time, we absolutely cannot let Mobius and Xia Qing Tian get ahead of us again."
After a moment of hesitation, Yu Zi Xuan took a deep breath and said, "I will find time to go to Z City next week to try and stall Xia Qing Tian. You all speed up your actions."
"Yes!"
On the other side, Shen Yao, also known as 【Gou Wen】, in a seaside villa in the capital, was staring at the computer screen, replaying the footage before the explosion over and over again, but she couldn't find Tang Jia Ming Zhu, Tang You Xi, anywhere.
"Shen Yao, stop looking. You won't conjure up Tang Jia Ming Zhu by looking anymore," Tang Rui Yang said, leaning against the bar counter with one hand propping his chin. "If you ask me, you should just give up. Didn't the higher-ups assign the task of finding Tang Jia Ming Zhu to someone from the Yu family, that 'Ling Lan' person?"
This mission was originally hers, but somehow it went wrong at such a crucial juncture.
The person lost under her watch, she had to find them herself.
"Damn it," Shen Yao clenched her fist and said, "Hasn't your Tang family received any wind of this?"
"If there was any wind, would I be here with you?" Tang Rui Yang said. "This time it was a sure thing, and I don't know who went crazy and insisted on interfering."
Shen Yao's brows furrowed, her gaze dark.
"However, the Young Master probably doesn't know about this matter yet," Tang Rui Yang said. "By the timing, the Young Master should arrive in Z City in a couple of days."
"Then I'll go to Z City first," Shen Yao said, moving her gaze away from the computer. "Before the people above can impeach me to the Young Master, I'll go and make a good impression."
"Alright," Tang Rui Yang yawned and said, "What if you're lucky and Tang Jia Ming Zhu is also in Z City?"
"Tch, you might as well say that Tang Jia Ming Zhu, Tang Jia Yin Zhu, and my sister who has been missing for many years are all in Z City." Shen Yao scoffed, rolling her beautiful eyes at Tang Rui Yang. "If you have time, do something productive. I need to book a ticket."
"Then remember to book it for a few days later. I estimate you won't be back anytime soon, so I'll just prepare next month's medicine for you in advance," Tang Rui Yang said. "You, don't die out there."
"Don't worry." Shen Yao's gaze deepened. She would not die before finding her sister.
