Eighty's Military Marriage: The Disliked Me Became the Richest Man in the City

Originally the female CEO of a high-end catering brand, Xia Enruo drowned while vacationing in Hainan to watch the underwater starry sky and transmigrated to the 1980s. Her past life was full of gl...

Chapter 255 Unexpected!

Everyone sat silently around Ge Qiuqin in the reception room, unsure of what to say.

Ge Qiuqin cried until she had no more tears left, and her eyes were swollen badly.

Zhao Mingyan wet a towel with hot water and wiped her cheeks from time to time.

Gu Shaoxuan was worried that his wife's body couldn't take it, so he told her to go back to her office bed to rest, but Xia Enruo was not sleepy at all.

"Shaoxuan, I'm not going. Even if I lie there like this, I can't sleep. My mind is in a mess."

I have a very bad feeling right now, but I can't figure out where it's coming from.

She whispered to Gu Shaoxuan in the corridor, afraid that Ge Qiuqin would hear.

"Don't overthink it. You're just too anxious, that's why you're like this. I'm anxious too."

Sister Qiuqin is like family to us. My heart aches just as much as yours when your child goes missing. We have no other choice but to wait for news from the police.

We've done our best with our own strength. All we can do now is pray that Sister Meixia can solve the case soon.

Xia Enruo suddenly remembered something, and she looked up and asked.

"Where did Zhang Xin go? Such a big thing happened at home, didn't they inform him?"

Gu Shaoxuan was in a complete mess before he finally realized what was happening.

"Oh right, how could I forget about him? It seems Sister Qiuqin was in such a hurry to find the child that she forgot to tell him. Otherwise, I'll go find him now."

"If something happens to your child, you can't just act like nothing happened."

"Shh, keep your voice down! I'm going with you, you go get the car first."

"Enruo, since you're pregnant, I'll go alone."

"Alright. Do you know where he's staying with that vixen in Yongning?"

Gu Shaoxuan was speechless for a moment.

Xia Enruo got dressed, quietly settled Zhao Minghui in, and then drove out with Gu Shaoxuan.

The two arrived at Zhang Xin's rented room, but no one answered the door after knocking for a long time.

In the end, they woke up all the neighbors.

"Who are you two looking for? It's the middle of the night, don't you want to get any sleep? If you keep banging, I'm going to sue you for disturbing the peace."

A sleepy-eyed middle-aged man, wearing a coat, came out of the next room and called out.

Gu Shaoxuan stepped forward, offered a cigarette, and asked:

"Brother, I'm Zhang Xin's colleague. I'm here to see him about something urgent."

The man took the cigarette, and his tone immediately softened considerably.

"Hey, you're looking for this family? They all went out this evening. Your colleague and his mother went to the hospital with his wife for a checkup. Don't knock if no one's home!"

Xia Enruo felt as if her mind had been splashed with cold water after hearing this.

"Brother, what did you say? Zhang Xin and his mother?"

"Yes, your colleague's wife is pregnant, right? His mother came up from his hometown a while ago, it seems she came to take care of her daughter-in-law."

"Do you know which hospital they went to?"

Xia Enruo appeared slightly excited.

"I don't know. They were leaving when I came back. They said they were going to the hospital, but they didn't say which one."

After asking their questions, the two went down the stairs and headed out.

The dim, reddish-yellow electric light was like a gun fired at Xia Enruo's head.

She almost tripped and fell because she wasn't paying attention.

Fortunately, Gu Shaoxuan caught her quickly and held her in his arms, preventing a major disaster.

"Honey, are you... alright?"

Gu Shaoxuan broke out in a cold sweat. He hugged Xia Enruo and pulled her into his arms, asking her questions.

At this moment, Xia Enruo's angry tears gushed from her eyes, blurring her vision.

"Shaoxuan, Zhang Xin is a beast. Why didn't God take him away and let his whole family die instead?"

Gu Shaoxuan was also unhappy. He really didn't expect Zhang Xin to be so utterly depraved.

He actually started a family outside the marriage, and even his mother is utterly despicable.

If Ge Qiuqin knew about this right now, she would faint from anger.

"Enruo, I know you hate Qiuqin for her sake, and Zhang Xin is an utterly wicked bastard. Don't worry, once this matter is over, I'll go directly to Regiment Lu."

"The military would never want trash like him. We must take him to a military court. I want to see what happens to Zhang Xingan when he defies military law."

Gu Shaoxuan tried his best to comfort Xia Enruo, saying that she had encountered too many unpleasant things today.

If his wife were to suffer any serious injury or death due to the trauma, he would definitely kill the person who started it.

Xia Enruo paused in the stairwell to catch her breath. She felt a tightness in her chest, an indescribable discomfort.

She took a few deep breaths and helped her husband into the car.

The two returned to the company compound.

Everyone remained awake, sitting in the reception room awaiting news.

When Zhao Minghui saw the two return, he came out to greet them and asked in a low voice:

"Boss Xia, how's it going? Have you found Sister Qiuqin's husband?"

Gu Shaoxuan patted his shoulder and replied:

"He's not here. He's probably back at his unit. Let's talk about it tomorrow morning."

Xia Enruo paused and said to Zhao Minghui:

"Tell the kitchen to start preparing breakfast for tomorrow. With so many people here, they need to eat well to have any energy. We don't know what will happen tomorrow that will require our intervention."

Upon receiving the instruction, Zhao Minghui went outside and directed his apprentices to begin preparing breakfast.

Xia Enru felt extremely tired at that moment.

"Shaoxuan, come with me to the office to rest for a while, I'm so tired."

Gu Shaoxuan helped her lie down on the bed in the lounge, and he massaged her feet with both hands again and again.

"Honey, your feet are all swollen. You must have walked too much today."

"Shaoxuan, I feel sorry for Sister Qiuqin. Her life in the first half of her life was simply inhuman. She misplaced her feelings and was only betrayed in return."

If anything happens to Zhicheng and Yanni this time, I will definitely not let Zhang Xin and Chen Yan, that despicable couple, off the hook.

“Enruo, I know you hate it, but you must not let Sister Qiuqin know right now. She has already suffered enough today. If she finds out about this, she will probably be the first one sent to the hospital.”

"Shaoxuan, I know."

Everyone waited at the company all night, and Xia Enruo didn't sleep at all.

As dawn broke, Gu Shaoxuan called everyone to the cafeteria for breakfast.

Although Ge Qiuqin had no appetite at all, she went along after Xia Enruo insisted.

Zhao Mingyan served Ge Qiuqin some millet porridge and an egg. Seeing that she had no appetite, she looked at Xia Enruo.

"Mingyan, it's better for Sister Qiuqin to eat one bite than not to eat at all. If she can't eat anymore, don't force her."

Zhao Mingyan nodded after hearing Xia Enruo's words.

After everyone finished their meal, they returned to the reception room to continue waiting for news from Wu Meixia.

Twelve hours have passed now, and every minute and every second has been agonizing for everyone.

Suddenly, the phone rang.

Xia Enruo walked over and received it, and everyone turned to look at her.

"Hello! Who is this?"

Xia Enru asked.

"Xia, something terrible has happened! Zhicheng has been found!"

Wu Meixia's voice came through the microphone.
