Chapter 430: A Thousand-Mile Rescue of the Aunt

Shi Youxuan said, "Dad, it's me. Hanyu is in a bad mood; he drank a lot of alcohol and is still sleeping and hasn't woken up."

"Ah? What should we do then... boo-hoo!"

Sheng Jiang actually started crying over the phone.

"Please don't cry yet. Tell me where you are, how long ago Wang Yingzhi left, how you know she went south to find the aunt, and did you try to stop her?"

Shi Youxuan asked a whole string of questions, and he did stop crying.

But he hemmed and hawed for a long time without saying anything coherent.

He only said, "She left a long time ago. I didn't look at the time to see how long ago, I was just anxious. I called Hanyu so many times, but he wouldn't pick up. No matter how I called, he wouldn't answer. It's really worrying me to death..."

"Get to the point, where are you right now?" Shi Youxuan reminded him. If Sheng Jiang said he was at the airport, she would immediately send people to reinforce him; they had to stop Wang Yingzhi.

Thus, Sheng Jiang began to state the "point."

"I'm at home."

Shi Youxuan:...

She was speechless and didn't know how to describe her father-in-law.

He clearly knew that Wang Yingzhi going south to find the aunt meant no good, yet he just waited at home and did nothing, is that it?

"You've been at home the whole time?" Shi Youxuan wouldn't give up and confirmed it again.

Perhaps he went to the airport to stop Wang Yingzhi but failed, and only came back because there was no other way, Shi Youxuan thought.

But Sheng Jiang said, "Yes, I have been at home the whole time."

Shi Youxuan:...

He seemed to sense that what he did was inappropriate and explained, "I was worried that Hanyu would come looking for me and I wouldn't be at home, and he wouldn't be able to find me..."

Shi Youxuan was even more speechless.

She thought, isn't there a phone?

If he can't find you, can't he just call?

Besides, why would he need to find you? The most urgent thing right now is to go and stop Wang Yingzhi.

They say that every pitiful person has something hateful about them.

Now she understood this saying thoroughly.

Sheng Jiang was indeed anxious, anxious to the extreme, but he just couldn't find the point.

Shi Youxuan didn't want to waste words with him either and went straight to the topic: "I'm going to stop her immediately. I'll call you when there's news. Don't call me unless it's something urgent, so as not to delay things."

After hanging up the phone, although Sheng Hanyu was sleeping soundly, she had to wake him up.

"Hanyu, wake up."

"Hmm?"

Sheng Hanyu opened his sleepy eyes, still hazy.

Shi Youxuan brought the Sobering Soup to his lips: "Drink this, I have something urgent to tell you."

Watching him drink all the Sobering Soup, Shi Youxuan then said: "Wang Yingzhi has gone south to find the aunt."

"What?"

He became instantly clear-headed.

The two of them first called the aunt to notify her to hide.

The aunt's phone was turned off and couldn't be reached at all; Shi Youxuan was extremely anxious.

She immediately sent a WeChat message with only one sentence: Wang Yingzhi is going to find you, you are in danger, you must hide! Must!!!

Although that person Wang Yingzhi is muddle-headed most of the time, plus a bit of a fool.

But she is not soft-hearted at all when it comes to taking action.

She is not someone who can keep a secret, yet she hid such a big secret for many years, which shows the importance of this matter to her.

In order not to let Sheng Hanyu find out the truth, Wang Yingzhi is capable of doing anything.

While Shi Youxuan was on the phone, Sheng Hanyu dialed Wang Yingzhi's number, but it was also turned off.

Although that number had long been blocked by him, he had always remembered it.

Wang Yingzhi had done so many absurd things, but because Sheng Hanyu still considered her his mother in his heart, he had never let it go.

The phone being off was within expectations; she didn't want to be found.

Sheng Jiang couldn't explain when she left, but the bodyguard sent to watch her remembered and could explain it clearly.

Wang Yingzhi had been gone for three hours.

Barring any accidents, she was already on the plane by now.

Sheng Hanyu and Shi Youxuan were of one mind; the two looked at each other without speaking and immediately knew what the other wanted to do and what they should do.

Shi Youxuan called Jian Yixin and asked her to come over to take care of Ranran.

Sheng Hanyu contacted a helicopter, preparing to set off directly.

But he was told that he needed to wait because the plane had taken the old lady south, and it would take some time for the return trip.

The old lady was Wang Yingzhi.

Wang Yingzhi was truly using every possible means.

The two arrived at the airport, waited for the plane to return, and as soon as it came back and picked them up, it flew right back!

The plane took off.

The two sat opposite each other, neither of them speaking.

Sheng Hanyu's complexion was poor, so she sat down beside him and quietly grabbed his hand.

The plane landed, and the two returned to that picturesque small town, but this time they were in no mood to enjoy the scenery.

"Aunt, Aunt!" Shi Youxuan called out as she went inside to search.

The front door was neither closed nor locked.

But there was no one in the house either.

The two of them began to search separately; Shi Youxuan started from the east side, and Sheng Hanyu started from the west, searching through every room carefully.

But they were all completely empty.

Where had she gone?

Her aunt was not a careless person; she would not leave the house without locking the door.

There were no signs of a struggle in the house; everything was neat and tidy, exuding a sense of peace and tranquility.

"What should we do?" Shi Youxuan asked for Sheng Hanyu's opinion.

"We will wait here until she returns."

"Mm."

The two of them stayed behind, but they did not just sit there doing nothing.

Sheng Hanyu used his connections to check his aunt's travel records for the day, as well as the surveillance footage from near the intersections.

Shi Youxuan, meanwhile, waited for daybreak so she could go to the neighbors to inquire about the situation.

Day broke.

Shi Youxuan hurried out the door.

The people here rose early, and some were already washing up by the river.

The small town was like a paradise on earth; the people were very simple and honest, and they would offer a polite smile when they saw a stranger.

Shi Youxuan stopped in front of a middle-aged woman: "Auntie, I would like to ask you about something."

"Young lady, are you also planning to buy a house? Let me tell you, the houses here are exceptionally good. Although the price is a bit high, the environment is good, the houses are good, and it's worth it..."

The woman was very talkative and went on and on about the houses.

At first, Shi Youxuan waited patiently, but after ten minutes, seeing that she was not finished, she could no longer wait.

If she waited for her to finish, it would probably take half an hour.

She interrupted the woman: "Please wait a moment. I am not here to buy a house; I want to ask you about something." She pointed to her aunt's house and said, "Do you know the owner of that house? Her name is Wang Yinghao."

"I know her, I know her."

The woman smiled: "This young girl is quite clever, still saying you aren't here to buy a house? If you aren't buying a house, why are you asking about Ah Hao? She is the one who wants to sell the house, and she's in a big hurry."

Her aunt wants to sell the house?

And she's in a big hurry?

Shi Youxuan said directly: "Auntie, Wang Yinghao is my aunt. We came here to find her, but there was no one home in the middle of the night and the door wasn't locked, so I wanted to ask if you saw her last night?"

"Or if there was any commotion at her house last night? Did anyone come by?"

"Oh, Ah Hao is your aunt? A few people did come by last night, and they also said they were her relatives. Ah Hao went out with them, very hurriedly. Yes, the news about selling the house was spread by her sister."

"She said there was an emergency back home, and she wouldn't be living here anymore..."

Shi Youxuan: "Is her sister's name Wang Yingzhi?"

The woman: "I don't know what her name is, but she looked somewhat like Ah Hao, had short hair, upturned eyes, was covered in designer brands, and even arrived by helicopter."

Shi Youxuan could basically confirm that the person the woman described was Wang Yingzhi!
