In the silent room, there was nothing but the faint sound of waves, the cries of seabirds outside the window, and the faint sound of the wind. It was so quiet that it made people feel uneasy.
The two people were silent and confronted each other silently.
"You were trying to buy time with me back then?" Nanxi suddenly sneered. She had to admit that this man had a really high IQ.
"No, I just want to treat your withdrawal reaction. The effect is obvious, isn't it?" Cha Mu's cold eyes were calm. He was a man without moral or religious constraints, and he was not ashamed of any means.
"So, you won't let us leave no matter what?" she continued to ask.
"You are my wife, and A Chuang is my son. Where are you going?" He sneered and then pressed his eyebrows.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, tomorrow is Ah Chuang's birthday. I want him to change his way of speaking and call me dad. Please stop hitting the child. I'm considering inviting a teacher to the island to give him enlightenment.
If you dare to cause any more trouble, I will immediately send him to school outside, and then I can only see him twice a year. Don't cry to me, crying is useless, it's all your own fault."
The man was obviously angry, and the tone of his voice was completely devoid of the gentleness he had before.
Nanxi had long learned how to conceal her true emotions, her face was calm and she spoke nonchalantly.
"I asked you to update my comics. Did you do that? You can't even agree to my request, right?"
It has been three years, until recently, when she felt that Cha Mu had let down his guard a little because of Ah Chuang's closeness to him, she proposed to continue updating her comics. She said that was her dream.
Cha Mu knew that she had artistic talent since childhood. After looking at the comic and finding nothing wrong with it, he agreed to her request and asked his men to log in to her Weibo using the account she gave them and update an issue. He also promised her that she could update once a week, but he had to have read the content first.
"It's updated. Let me show you." Cha Mu didn't expect her to be so easy to talk to today. He curled the corners of his lips and showed her the screenshot.
The coldness on Nanxi's face finally faded a little.
"I can agree to let Ah Chuang change his name, but not now. We have to follow the Nan family's rules. Wait until he's six. You said that when he's six, you'll take him back to China to worship his ancestors. At that time, let the old uncle give him a name according to the family tree, and then in front of the clan relatives, let him change his name. As long as you have the courage, you can accept the old uncle's family rules."
"I have been punished by the family rules, and you are willing to follow me? Let A Chuang be my son?" Cha Mu's narrow eyes scanned her face nervously, with hope and excitement, but more of it, exploration.
"Of course I don't want to, but you're threatening me with my son. What else can I do but agree? However, my son from Nanxi must be upright no matter where he is. Don't even think about letting him be your son without a legitimate name or reason."
Cha Mu looked at her red and aggrieved eyes. Now she looked somewhat believable.
"Okay, then when Ah Chuang comes over tomorrow, don't stop us from being intimate. Every time I give the child a bad look because of this, he has asked me several times if I don't like him anymore.
Why is her temper still so stubborn? She clearly cares about him to death, but every time she comes over she scolds him. She's already a mother, why is she still like a child? "
"I do. If you don't like it, don't look at me." Nanxi stood up, glared at him, and went upstairs angrily.
But the moment the door closed, the arrogance on her face immediately disappeared, and was replaced by a very faint and cold smile.
…
Yiya Manor, Yangon.
The sound of the camouflaged military vehicle's brakes pierced the sky, startling flocks of birds from the trees.
"Fu Chai, you're about to mess up my fucking brain." Zhan Peng cursed angrily, but the person next to him had already opened the car door and flew out like an arrow.
"Damn it, A'long, slow down, don't scare my wife." Song Cai then opened the car door and chased after him.
Bang!
The door of the study was kicked open from the outside. The man came in with the wind and rain, his eyes filled with uncontrollable anxiety. His eyes were stern, his voice was hoarse and anxious.
"What comics?"
Liang Lu was startled by his appearance, and only when she saw Song Cai rushing in from behind him did she loosen her grip on the paper. Then she walked to the desk, spread out eight printed sheets of paper, and pointed them at them.
"Look, these pictures were posted online electronically, and nothing unusual happened. But when you print them out and enlarge them, you see that when you turn these four pictures upside down, they form the shape of an island.
In the Xixi comics, Nan Xiaomao was captured by the black fox and taken to a lost mysterious land. No one knew where this place was because it was in the belly of a giant jellyfish.
This means that she is in a hidden place, which is probably not what the world knows about it. It should be an island.
Balu took the pieces of paper, put them together, and read them again and again. Finally, his Adam's apple rolled, and when he raised his eyes, his black pupils trembled violently.
"My wife drew this? Are you sure?"
He couldn't believe it. The person he had been searching for for three whole years without any news suddenly gave him a glimmer of hope. Deep in his soul, which was as dark as the eternal night, a small crack appeared, and a faint light seemed to appear.
People who have been trapped in darkness for too long are too afraid of that fleeting light. If they can't see hope, they would rather stay in the dark night forever. Their hearts are broken into pieces and can no longer withstand the slightest disappointment.
"I'm sure this was drawn by Xixi. I'm more familiar with her style than anyone else. Furthermore, we played this kind of puzzle game at school. It's a method no one else knows except me, because it's not in sequential order, but in odd or even numbers. You have to look for clues in the picture to figure it out.
You see, Nan Xiaomao's skirt always has six petals, but only the one updated today has five petals. This means that the first, third, fifth, and seventh pictures need to be pieced together. As for why it is upside down, it is because only by putting it upside down can a complete picture be formed. It is the shape of an island.
Aside from the necklace vaguely visible on Nan Xiaomao's neck, which I haven't figured out, everything else is fine."
Liang Lu explained a few words, and the men present were confused, but Balu knew that there was news about his Xixi.
That was enough, just this little hint was enough for him to see the light of day in the abyss.
He picked up the papers with trembling hands, said nothing, and walked out the door. He held the thin white papers against his heart as if they were treasures.
The moment the bedroom door closed, the man leaned against the wall, his face up with his eyes closed, and his hands, which were pressing on the paper, were shaking violently. If you look closely, you can see that it's not just his hands, his whole body is shaking slightly.
"Baby...baby...I finally heard from you..."
He took a few breaths to adjust himself, then rushed into the cloakroom and took out the dazzling and unique gem necklace. The original investigation results of the necklace were still placed next to it.
Created by a talented designer in Buenos Aires, all the surrounding diamonds and gemstones are of top quality. Only the largest main stone looks like an ordinary royal sapphire, but in fact, it is more scarce.
