Chapter 1625: The Plan Is Halfway Successful

Xu Xiaoxiao knew that Cheng Xueli was targeting her.

But she couldn't be bothered to respond; she stopped a nurse, wanting to take a look at Father Xu's examination report.

Those reports needed to be checked on a machine, so the nurse asked Xu Xiaoxiao to go take a look together.

And once she went...

She unexpectedly vanished without a trace.

By the time Father Xu finished his surgery, Xu Xiaoxiao still hadn't appeared.

Instead, Jiang Chenghao walked over with a group of people, looking aggressive.

As soon as he saw Xu Zixin, he asked coldly, "Where is Xiao Xiao?"

Xu Zixin blinked and responded timidly, "Sister said she was going for a consultation, but she hasn't come back."

Hearing this, Cheng Xueli chimed in from the side, "Who knows if she just left because she felt her father was fine? Hmph, I think she's just heartless!"

Jiang Chenghao ignored the mother and daughter's singing in harmony.

He stared at Xu Zixin in silence until the latter felt a chill run through her entire body.

Xu Zixin bit the bullet and asked, "Is there a problem?"

"Xiao Xiao has gone missing."

"Missing?"

Xu Zixin wore an expression of disbelief: "It's just that you can't reach her for the moment; there's no need to make it sound so serious."

"But Xiao Xiao's phone was discarded, the cameras that could have captured her tracks are broken, and even her coat appeared in a trash can!"

The more Jiang Chenghao spoke, the more heartbroken he felt; when he stared at Xu Zixin, his eyes looked as if they wanted to shoot out knives!

It was terrifying.

But... didn't this also indirectly show that her plan had succeeded halfway?

Xu Zixin was secretly pleased!

To avoid being discovered in her smugness, Xu Zixin quickly lowered her eyes.

Afterwards, she said with a trembling voice, "How terrifying, who exactly has set their sights on Sister?"

Jiang Chenghao stared at Xu Zixin without blinking, his voice icy: "No matter who it is, I will drag her out! This time, I will make her pay the price!"

"Then you should hurry and find the culprit, lest you drag it out and she ends up in danger."

Xu Zixin appeared to be thinking of the big picture, but Jiang Chenghao tasted something else in it.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and his hands, hanging at his sides, slowly clenched tight.

"Right, if you see Sister, tell her that I'm taking care of Father here, so she doesn't need to worry."

As Xu Zixin said this, she even revealed a fragile smile.

But that smile immediately turned into unease after colliding with the coldness on Jiang Chenghao's face.

Xu Zixin didn't dare to look at Jiang Chenghao again and quickly lowered her eyes.

After a moment, she felt the man in front of her turn and leave.

This made Xu Zixin quickly heave a sigh of relief.

Also sighing in relief was Cheng Xueli.

She patted her chest and muttered, "What's wrong with this Jiang Chenghao today? It's like he's become a different person! Truly scary!"

Xu Zixin didn't respond, still keeping her head lowered.

"Daughter, were you scared?"

Only then did Xu Zixin have a reaction, her voice muffled: "How could that be? I was just thinking about something."

Thinking about something...

Cheng Xueli also thought of something and asked, "Was Xu Xiaoxiao really kidnapped?"

"How would I know!"

Xu Zixin's attitude was a bit cold and a bit impatient.

Cheng Xueli didn't take it to heart, only saying smugly, "It's good if she was kidnapped, let that stinky girl be arrogant! It's all retribution!"

Hmph, her retribution wouldn't just be this!

Xu Zixin sneered and said to her mother, "Don't worry about her for now; we still need to take care of Father here."

Mentioning Father Xu, Cheng Xueli couldn't feel relaxed.

She sighed and muttered, "Everything was fine, how did he suddenly get so sick..."

"Father is getting on in years after all, and he's been under a lot of pressure lately, so it's inevitable that something would happen. Fortunately, we are both here to support him, so he will be fine."

After finishing, Xu Zixin arranged, "You are tired too, go get some rest. I'll have a word with the doctor, then go take care of Father."

Cheng Xueli accepted her daughter's arrangement.

Afterwards, she looked closely at her daughter's lotus-like face and sighed with emotion: "I feel like you've grown up overnight and become sensible."

The Xu Zixin of the past was willful, afraid of hardship, and unreliable in doing things.

But now...

Even Cheng Xueli, as a mother, felt she couldn't compare.

And the praised Xu Zixin had no special expression on her face.

She didn't look for the doctor either; after parting with her mother, she found a deserted corner and made a phone call.

"You can act now!"

After saying these few words, Xu Zixin hung up the phone.

But what she didn't expect was that as soon as she turned around, she felt a figure drift over.

That person even reached out and snatched Xu Zixin's phone away!

Xu Zixin was terrified in her heart and subconsciously reached out to snatch it back.

But that person was very tall, and Xu Zixin couldn't reach it at all!

This made Xu Zixin so anxious that she opened her mouth and cursed: "Bastard, who dares to..."

Xu Zixin's voice stopped abruptly.

And the reason she quieted down was because the man standing in front of her at this moment was actually Jiang Chenghao!

In this instant, Xu Zixin panicked.

She also secretly cried out that it was bad in her heart.

But on the surface, she feigned ignorance and asked: "Why haven't you left yet?"

Jiang Chenghao had a cold expression: "If I had left, how would I know that you are involved in this matter?"

"What are you talking about? I don't understand."

"You don't understand? Then I will call the number back and see whose voice I can hear!"

Xu Zixin didn't speak again.

She knew that she had been exposed.

The evidence was still being held in his hand!

There was already no hope of turning things around!

Xu Zixin's heart was slowly sinking.

A feeling of despair slowly coiled around her.

But when the despair reached its extreme, a bit of madness grew from the bottom of her heart.

Jiang Chenghao couldn't be bothered with what her mood was and ordered: "Make them stop!"

Xu Zixin parted her red lips slightly and said with a smile that wasn't quite a smile: "It's too late. Once the plan begins, no one can stop it."

"Impossible! Don't you try to play tricks on me!!"

As Jiang Chenghao spoke, he raised his hand and gripped Xu Zixin's neck!

Yet Xu Zixin was not afraid at all.

Instead, she smiled and reminded him: "Choke me to death, and you will never see her again! Or, even if you find her... it will only be a corpse!"

Xu Zixin's words were truly vicious, and Jiang Chenghao was truly moved to kill!

But he had to be calm now.

Nothing was more important than finding out the whereabouts of Xu Xiaoxiao!

Jiang Chenghao breathed heavily, then suppressed his impulse and questioned: "What exactly is your plan?"

"Use Xu Xiaoxiao to trade for the man you captured."

"Heh, I really couldn't tell that a trip abroad would actually lead you to collude with that guy!"

Xu Zixin pushed away Jiang Chenghao's hand, feigned a sorrowful appearance, and muttered: "I didn't want to either, but that person is too fierce; he threatened me!"

"How many times are you going to use the same excuse?"

"Sigh, if you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do, but whether or not you can save my sister depends on you."

As Xu Zixin spoke, she raised her hand to stroke Jiang Chenghao's cheek.

Jiang Chenghao pushed her away in disgust and asked irritably: "What are you trying to do?"

Li Beijue's expression turned extremely grim in an instant; he stood up abruptly and strode out.
