Chapter 886: She Has Already Left

~7 min read 1,399 words

Li Xiao returned to the hotel at the fastest possible speed.

But just as he arrived downstairs, he saw Laoqi standing at the hotel entrance, head lowered as if about to make a call.

Li Xiao hurriedly walked over in two strides and asked directly, "Where is Xiao Tang?"

"

Seeing him arrive, Laoqi hurriedly replied, "The moment Madam came back, she drove your car away. I couldn't stop her, and she wouldn't let me get in the car..."

Li Xiao was stunned upon hearing this; he hadn't expected Cai Xiaotang to leave just like that, yet it was also within his expectations.

After two seconds of silence, he immediately said, "Have someone track her location at once."

"I already have people looking."

Laoqi said this while quickly checking information on his phone.

Immediately after, his peripheral vision caught Luo Wanwan and the others walking over.

Seeing both of them standing there and not knowing what had happened, Luo Wanwan came up, wanting to ask.

But just as she walked close, she heard Li Xiao say directly, "You go up first."

He only said these five words, not even sparing Luo Wanwan a second glance.

Luo Wanwan stiffened at his words, a flash of unwillingness quickly crossing her eyes.

Yet, unable to say anything more, she could only nod and leave.

"Shura..."

The others seemed to have something they wanted to say as well.

Li Xiao interrupted again, "Everyone go up."

The group had no choice but to shut their mouths tactfully and turn back to the hotel.

Only Laoqi remained focused on the information on his phone; seeing that everyone else had left, he then said in a low voice.

"Shura, it has been found. Madam drove the car out, stopped once she reached the main road, then abandoned your car and left in a taxi."

"A taxi?"

Li Xiao scanned the information on the screen suspiciously, confirmed it once more, and couldn't help but sigh helplessly in his heart.

Deliberately abandoning his car...

Was Xiao Tang afraid that he would chase after her?

"Shura, about Madam..."

Seeing him remain silent, Laoqi couldn't help but ask.

Li Xiao's head felt like it was about to explode; after pondering for two seconds, he ordered, "Have people keep a close watch on her movements, see where she intends to go, report to me at any time, and notify the others to pack up; we are returning today."

"Yes."

Laoqi immediately agreed.

Li Xiao turned and walked toward the hotel alone.

Once back in his room, he could no longer control himself and slammed the door shut!

A feeling of blockage welled up in his heart, a sensation he had never felt before.

A certain emotion seeking release was like a violent beast, clamoring as if it wanted to destroy everything in this room.

Ever since taking over the Dark Gate, his emotions had not been this exposed in a long time.

After a long while—he finally could not hold back and smashed his fist hard against the wall!

Why had things turned out like this?

It was impossible for Linke's people to have launched a surprise attack for no reason...

The fact that he suddenly fainted when he fell off the cliff was also far too suspicious...

Li Xiao's temple throbbed; he only felt that everything seemed to have tied itself into a dead knot.

The next second—"Beep beep!"

A weak notification sound suddenly rang out.

It also abruptly pulled back his remaining sliver of reason.

He raised his hand violently and quickly fished his phone out of his pocket.

He then discovered that the screen was already shattered into pieces.

Fortunately, it was still functional.

Seeing that it was a message from Laoqi, he hurriedly tapped it open, scanned it twice, and his brow locked even tighter.

Xiao Tang went to the Hospital...

Jiang Baobao... almost had a miscarriage last night?

Li Xiao gripped the phone tightly, using almost all his self-control to keep from throwing it away.

After a brief pause, he finally calmed his emotions, replied to the message briefly, and told them to go to the Hospital to watch over them and keep track of Cai Xiaotang's location.

He then quickly found Cai Xiaotang's number.

But he hesitated for a moment before the second he was about to dial.

What should he say...

When she left, she was so resolute.

It couldn't be explained clearly over the phone.

He had to explain this matter to her in person.

Let's wait until she gets home...

He also needed to calm down properly right now.

On the other side...

Cai Xiaotang was already exhausted to the point of collapse.

Yet she still forced herself to come to the Hospital.

Having confirmed over the phone just moments ago that the child in Jiang Baobao's womb was fine and only needed quiet rest, she had finally let out a sigh of relief and hurried to the Hospital.

Standing at the door of the ward, she did not walk in immediately.

The heat radiating from her body was already scorching, leaving her feeling dazed and confused.

Her brain felt somewhat muddled as well.

Yet, for some reason, her spirit was still forcing itself to hold on, wanting to confirm Jiang Baobao's condition before she could be at ease.

Cai Xiaotang took a deep breath and quickly adjusted her emotions.

Confirming that she would not show anything unusual, she pushed the door open and walked in.

Immediately, she saw Li Beijue guarding the bedside, attentively feeding Jiang Baobao.

"Xiao Tang, you're here."

As soon as Jiang Baobao saw Cai Xiaotang, her face instantly brightened with energy.

She then hurriedly said, "Li Xiao is fine, that's truly great. Why aren't you staying at the hotel to keep him company?"

Cai Xiaotang was startled upon hearing this, then realized that Li Beijue must have received the news immediately as well.

However, now that she heard the name Li Xiao, she couldn't help but feel both angry and sad.

She deliberately did not answer, saying only with concern, "You should worry more about yourself; you scared me to death yesterday..."

"Don't worry, I'm already fine. Yesterday..."

Thinking of the sudden explosion last night, Jiang Baobao paused, her expression still showing lingering fear.

She had been well protected by Li Beijue yesterday and had not suffered a single injury.

But such an event was not something everyone could endure.

She had seen with her own eyes Li Xiao and Luo Wanwan fall off the cliff together, which was why she had been traumatized, felt a wave of pain in her abdomen, and fainted directly.

But now that everyone was fine, it was for the best.

Jiang Baobao thought this, and looking at the haggard-looking Cai Xiaotang before her, she felt a pang of heartache.

"Xiao Tang, I've made you worry. The most important thing now is Li Xiao, right? He..."

Jiang Baobao glanced hesitantly in Li Beijue's direction.

Li Beijue fed her another spoonful of porridge before asking Cai Xiaotang with a grim face, "What has Uncle been doing lately? Those people yesterday..."

He paused for a moment, as if recalling something.

Then he continued with certainty, "Those people yesterday were all coming for him."

Cai Xiaotang's fingers tightened abruptly, and a complex look flashed across her eyes.

She was completely unaware of the situation on the mountain yesterday.

She only knew that when she finally managed to get up there, she saw Li Xiao holding Luo Wanwan as they fell together.

The feeling of her heart being hollowed out in an instant was something she would likely never forget in this lifetime.

And then there was this morning...

Cai Xiaotang took a sharp, deep breath and suddenly felt a bit tired.

As long as Baobao is fine...

As for Li Xiao, she did not want to look into it any further.

Cai Xiaotang felt her head starting to spin again.

Afraid that Jiang Baobao would notice something, she hurriedly stood up.

"Baobao, I have some other things to attend to. You rest first, I'll be heading back now..."

Before she could finish speaking—"Buzz—!"

Cai Xiaotang's phone vibrated violently.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously gripped the phone in her hand, but she didn't rush to look at it; instead, her expression went blank for a moment.

Is it... a call from Li Xiao?
