Chapter 2219 - 639: Xiao Hei Abducted (Part 4)
"Uncle Xie, what’s going on?" An Yiqing interjected to ask.
"Jiang Zirong and Jiang Huai knew I returned to the Sanfeng Association, so every day they send me videos of Old Yuan, trying to disturb my thoughts." Xie Xiaoran clenched his fist tightly, "After I came back, I sent many people to investigate Old Yuan’s whereabouts, but they all came up empty-handed. Xiao Qing, the people you trained secretly infiltrated the Galaxy Sect, searched inside and out, leaving no stone unturned, yet didn’t even find a single hair of Old Yuan. Who knows what kind of torment he’s enduring! Oh!"
"Uncle Yuan was the first fierce general under my father, always loyally devoted to him. Last time at the bar, if it weren’t for Uncle Yuan stepping in to protect us by blocking several bullets, my father and I might never have had the chance to meet Xiao Qing again. The first thing my father did upon returning to the Sanfeng Association was to search everywhere for Uncle Yuan’s whereabouts, but even Flower Island turned up no clues. These days, my father can’t eat or sleep well, constantly worrying about Uncle Yuan. If it weren’t for a few of us holding him back, he would have already charged into the Galaxy Sect alone to demand him back." Xie Huan explained solemnly.
An Yiqing remembered Old Yuan; that day, she and Xu Qingtian were stopped at the bar entrance by a server, while Xiao Hei caused a commotion by crying loudly, earning the attention of many bystanders. It was Old Yuan who stepped in to clear away the server, letting them in.
She had quite a deep impression of Old Yuan as a middle-aged man with a very commanding presence.
"Uncle Xie, are you sure he’s still on Flower Island?"
"Positive. Jiang Zirong is waiting for me to fall into his trap. He will definitely keep Old Yuan on Flower Island, waiting for me to come before he tries to control me."
An Yiqing thought Xie Xiaoran made a valid point, but Flower Island was so large that even though she possessed the Clairvoyant Eye, it’s impossible to search the entire island.
"Uncle Xie, if you have the chance, take me to the Galaxy Sect and near the Jiang Family to have a look around. If Mr. Yuan is held there, I have a way to find him."
Xie Xiaoran was taken aback, then agreed, "Alright!"
That evening, when An Yiqing left the Sanfeng Association, it was already after eight. Zhang Yufeng’s car was already parked outside, and as soon as An Yiqing came out, she drove the car over.
"Where’s Xiao Hei?" An Yiqing tapped her shoulder, leaning back in the car seat.
"Went out with Brother Fong to play. Xiao Hei has gotten into video games these days and insisted on having Brother Fong take him to the mall to play." Zhang Yufeng smiled faintly at the mention of Xiao Hei. An Zhifeng isn’t bothered by tantrums or tears, but he’s most afraid of Xiao Hei looking at him with those pitiful puppy eyes. Whenever Xiao Hei uses such an expression, An Zhifeng agrees to anything without hesitation. Luckily, Xiao Hei is an obedient and sensible little guy. Asking An Zhifeng to take him to play video games is his first request in a long time, making him endearingly well-behaved.
An Yiqing smiled at that too, feeling a squeeze in her heart as she thought about how Xiao Hei had been sealed for so many years. Now that the little guy was making requests on his own, she naturally would support and fulfill his wishes.
"Let’s go to the mall and pick them up."
...
The black Mercedes slowly parked at the entrance of the pedestrian street of Central’s most bustling commercial district. Zhang Yufeng pulled out her phone and called An Zhifeng, but it rang for a long time without being answered.
"The arcade noise might be too loud. Maybe he didn’t hear it. Send him a message; he’ll reply once he sees it."
Zhang Yufeng thought that made sense and opened the messaging app, beginning to type "Miss is here."
However, before the message was sent, An Zhifeng’s call came through. As soon as Zhang Yufeng answered it, An Zhifeng’s anxious voice came through.
"Is Xiao Hei with you?"
"No, what’s going on?!" Zhang Yufeng felt a heavy sinking feeling in her heart.
"Xiao Hei is missing!"
Before Zhang Yufeng could say anything more, the phone was snatched from her hand.
"Explain carefully, how did he go missing?" An Yiqing said while opening the car door and stepping out. Zhang Yufeng quickly locked the car and followed her.
The two rushed towards the arcade, and along the way, An Zhifeng briefly explained what had happened.
Xiao Hei went to the restroom, and An Zhifeng wanted to follow. But the little guy, after all, is a ’senior’ who’s lived over 20,000 years, and having someone tail him even to the toilet was embarrassing. Ultimately, under Xiao Hei’s pitiful gaze, An Zhifeng compromised, standing outside the restroom door waiting for him.
Unexpectedly, five minutes, ten minutes went by, yet Xiao Hei hadn’t come out. Sensing something was wrong, An Zhifeng pushed the door open and went in to inquire, but no one had seen a boy in shorts.
