"If there's nothing else, I'll be going!" Jiang Yi said.
"Mmm!" Ma Bai nodded.
Jiang Yi didn't linger and left the coffee shop.
On the street outside, Dongfang Mei spoke to Jiang Yi, "We've found a lead now, and we have a great chance of saving Xiao Xin. Why aren't you happy at all?"
"I've failed Xiao Xin!" Jiang Yi took a deep breath and said, "I promised Xiao Xin that I would protect her well. I never expected something like this to happen. I'm not qualified to be Xiao Xin's brother; I can't even protect her!"
"You can't be entirely blamed for this!" Dongfang Mei said.
Jiang Yi took a deep breath, feeling extremely self-reproachful.
"I know your bond with Xiao Xin is deep, but now is not the time for self-blame. What you should do is find a way to locate Xiao Xin as soon as possible!" Dongfang Mei said.
"That's right, I should find a way as soon as possible. I must find Xiao Xin!" Jiang Yi said, "The lead Ma Bai gave is indeed very useful, but it won't help me find Xiao Xin. I'll have to find other ways."
"Do you have a plan?" Dongfang Mei asked.
"Mmm!" Jiang Yi nodded. "There are tens of millions of people in the capital, and it's a place with a very large flow of people. If we search using our old methods, it will be impossible to find Xiao Xin."
"Therefore, I plan to go to a news company in the capital tomorrow and ask them to help spread the news of Xiao Xin's disappearance. Then, I'll issue a reward in my name. Perhaps there will be unexpected gains."
Hearing this, Dongfang Mei smiled slightly.
"That's a good idea!" Dongfang Mei said.
Jiang Yi took a deep breath. This was the only way.
"It's getting late, let's go back and rest! We'll have time to continue looking for Xiao Xin tomorrow after we've rested!" Dongfang Mei said to Jiang Yi.
"Mmm!" Jiang Yi nodded and returned home with Dongfang Mei.
As soon as they entered the living room, they saw Li Ping still sitting on the sofa waiting for news, her face full of worry. Seeing Jiang Yi and Dongfang Mei return, she quickly asked, "Have you found Xiao Xin?"
"No!" Jiang Yi said.
Upon hearing this, Li Ping's face was filled with disappointment. Jiang Yi explained the whole situation to Li Ping. After listening, Li Ping felt a little more at ease.
"As long as Xiao Xin is still in the capital, we still have hope. Xiao Xin absolutely cannot be taken out of the country, otherwise, we will never have a chance to find her!" Li Ping said.
"I will do everything I can to save Xiao Xin!" Jiang Yi said to Li Ping, "You haven't rested well these past few days worrying about Xiao Xin. You should rest well these days, and I will find a way to save Xiao Xin."
"Jiang Yi is right, you should get some proper rest!" Dongfang Mei also quickly said to Li Ping.
Li Ping glanced at Dongfang Mei and didn't say anything. She went straight upstairs to her room! Dongfang Mei felt very helpless!
"Mom hasn't spoken a word to me these days. Does she really hate me? Or have I done something wrong that angered her!" Dongfang Mei said to Jiang Yi.
"You're overthinking it!" Jiang Yi said. "My mother is just like this. Now that Xiao Xin has been kidnapped, she is very worried and doesn't want to talk to anyone."
"Even with me, she rarely talks these days. Don't worry, things will get better after Xiao Xin is rescued. Don't think too much about it."
"Don't try to comfort me!" Dongfang Mei took a deep breath. "I know she only agreed to you marrying me for the sake of the Jiang family. I don't hold any weight in her heart, and she doesn't want to treat me as a daughter-in-law." Dongfang Mei's face was filled with disappointment.
Jiang Yi felt somewhat helpless! Dongfang Mei was too sensitive. The situation was not as Dongfang Mei described. Jiang Yi understood his mother very well. She was a reasonable person, unlike Mother Ye who was unreasonable and difficult.
"It's late, let's go to rest!" Jiang Yi said. Dongfang Mei didn't say anything and went straight back to her room.
It was already past midnight. After returning to his room, Jiang Yi lay on the bed and fell asleep. Dongfang Mei's worried expression deepened. It had been two days since they got married, and Jiang Yi had not touched her. Dongfang Mei felt that Jiang Yi still couldn't forget Ye Yanran. Dongfang Mei was now more sensitive than ever.
The night passed without incident! The next morning, Jiang Yi woke up early. Looking at Dongfang Mei, who was still asleep beside him, Jiang Yi left the room quietly without waking her. He had returned very late last night and wanted Dongfang Mei to sleep a little longer.
Li Ping woke up even earlier than Jiang Yi. At this moment, Li Ping was in the living room discussing finding Xiao Xin with Shen Lu and others. After a long discussion, they still hadn't come up with a good plan. This made Li Ping look worried. Seeing Jiang Yi arrive, Shen Lu and the others quickly stood up to greet him.
"Leave the matter of finding Xiao Xin to me. You all handle the company's affairs!" Jiang Yi said.
Upon hearing this, Shen Lu and the others did not speak and looked towards Li Ping.
"The company has encountered many problems recently, especially that Ye Yanran. She has clashed with Tiansheng Group more than once."
"Dong Rui is very capable, but she is too soft-hearted. I have to personally handle the company's matters!" Li Ping finished, her gaze falling on Jiang Yi.
"I believe you will be able to save Xiao Xin." Li Ping had been struggling for so long with no results, so she decided to handle the company's affairs for now. She intended to let Jiang Yi handle the matter of finding Xiao Xin.
Seeing Li Ping agree, Jiang Yi felt a sigh of relief.
"I want to ask you, did you instruct Dong Rui not to deal with Ye Yanran when Ye Yanran was causing trouble for Tiansheng Group?" Li Ping asked.
"I did not!" Jiang Yi said helplessly. He wasn't unable to let go of Ye Yanran, but rather Xiao Bei. No matter what, Xiao Bei was his biological daughter. As for Ye Yanran causing trouble for Tiansheng Group, Jiang Yi had indeed heard about it, and Ye Yanran had even said it herself, but he had not instructed Dong Rui to tolerate it. There had been too many things happening these past few days, and Jiang Yi hadn't had the mindset for it.
"I just want to remind you that you are married now, and you should completely let go of the past!" Li Ping looked at Jiang Yi and said, "From now on, I will personally handle the company's matters. If Ye Yanran gets out of line, I will not be lenient!"
"Our Jiang family is not so easily bullied. If I'm pushed too far, I'll directly destroy the Xiao family..." Li Ping was enraged! Jiang Yi dared not speak further. He had advised Ye Yanran before, telling her to know her limits, but she simply wouldn't listen.
