Chapter 242: The Dress Was Stolen (Part 2)
The room became quiet again, with only the occasional heavy breathing of Xie Bowen as the sound.
After an unknown amount of time, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Finally, he took the initiative to speak, "Xiao Xi, when did you know?"
Xie Xihe thought for a moment and replied, "I guessed a little while practicing the Brahma Technique, but to be sure..."
Xie Xihe pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said, "I met someone some time ago. His last name was Fan. He seemed to be from a place called Fanjing Mountain in the ancient martial arts world."
“That was when it was confirmed.”
After he finished speaking, he looked at Xie Bowen: "Dad, you..."
Xie Xihe originally wanted to ask about Fanjing Mountain or the Fan clan, but when she looked up, she saw Xie Bowen's face suddenly changed. Before she could finish her words, Xie Bowen stepped forward and grabbed her shoulders.
He carefully looked her up and down, and made sure that she was standing in front of him safely. Only then did his heart calm down.
Xie Xihe frowned: "Dad?"
Xie Bowen came back to his senses, but his face was unusually serious. He asked her, "Where is that man surnamed Fan now? Did he behave strangely when he saw you? Tell Dad in detail."
Can you please explain carefully?
Some colorful images suddenly appeared in Xie Xihe's mind. His ears turned red in an instant, his throat became dry, and he was unable to speak for a long time.
Mr. Xie knew her so well that he could tell something was wrong right away. He couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "Did that guy named Fan bully you?"
Xie Xihe pinched his fingertips to suppress his emotions, and it took him two seconds to regain his composure. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Do I look like someone who is easy to bully?"
So what's that expression on your face?
Old Master Xie wanted to ask, but before he could open his mouth, Xie Xihe changed the subject and asked, "So what's going on between the Ancient Martial Arts World and Fanjing Mountain? The Xie family you mentioned before shouldn't be the Xie family, right?"
Xie Bowen didn't expect that she would guess this, but there were some things that were not the right time to talk about. So after a moment's silence, he said, "You just need to know that your last name is Xie, the same as mine and Xiaoyi's."
"In this world, no one is more worthy of being the eldest daughter of the Xie family than you!"
"As for the Ancient Martial Realm and Fanjing Mountain..." Many distant images surfaced in his mind. Xie Bowen's eyes deepened and he said, "Xiao Xi, promise Dad that until you have enough strength to protect yourself, don't try to understand the Ancient Martial Realm, and don't approach Fanjing Mountain."
"If...if you want to find your biological parents in the future, tell Dad and I'll go with you personally."
And the most important point.
Xie Bowen raised his eyes, looked straight into Xie Xihe's eyes, and said seriously: "Xiao Xi, your biological parents have never abandoned you. Never."
Xie Xihe looked stunned.
After an unknown amount of time, Xie Xihe withdrew his gaze from Xie Bowen and replied in a neutral tone, "I understand."
Xie Bowen carefully observed her expression, and after confirming that she was not in any bad mood, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked Fan Jinjun again: "That guy surnamed Fan..."
"Don't worry about it." Xie Xihe replied. These three simple words clearly showed that he didn't want to talk about this person.
Xie Bowen didn't force her.
The father and daughter chatted for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, Xie Xihe sent him back to his room to rest. She also washed up quickly and fell on the bed, without even bothering to tidy up the luggage in the room.
Let’s talk about it tomorrow.

The next day, the weather was sunny and the air was clear and refreshing.
After such a commotion the night before, Liang Suqin took Liang Jiayi and left Shuixie Lanting and went to Xie Tingyuan's place.
At this moment, there were only Xie Xihe, Xie Bowen and Xie Yi at home, and the house immediately became quiet.
Xie Xihe got up before seven o'clock, had a simple breakfast and prepared to go out. However, when he reached the entrance, his expression paused slightly and he turned to look at the shoe cabinet in the entrance.
——The shoe cabinet is clean and spotless, with only a few vases standing quietly on it.
Xie Xihe's brows darkened slightly, and he turned around and called out, "Mrs. Zheng."
Mrs. Zheng, who was still clearing the table, immediately ran up and said respectfully, "Miss, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Xie Xihe pointed at the shoe cabinet with his fingertips and asked, "Where are the things I put here?"
Mrs. Zheng followed her gaze and noticed the empty shoe cabinet. Her face suddenly changed.
Xie Xihe knew it without her having to answer, and without making things difficult for her, he asked directly, "When was the last time you saw it?"
Mrs. Zheng quickly recalled and finally said with certainty, "I saw you and the old man talking in the room at ten o'clock last night."
Although Mr. Xie left most of his things to Xie Tingyuan and Xie Mingzhu, even if they were just some clothes and daily necessities, there was still a lot of things to move.
They came early yesterday morning and spent the whole day sorting things out, but they had only finished about half of it by the time Xie Xihe came back.
Later, a dispute broke out upstairs. Mrs. Zheng couldn't go over, so she continued to sort things downstairs. She didn't breathe a sigh of relief until Liang Suqin and Xie Yi came down from the stairs.
There were still quite a few gifts, and it would take a while to sort them out, so Mrs. Zheng sorted them out again and put them aside for the time being.
Before returning to her room, she checked the windows and door locks, and only went back to her room to rest after making sure that everything was fine.
She was sure that the gift box was still there at that time.
After that...
Mrs. Zheng's pupils trembled as she thought of something. She said cautiously, "I checked the windows and door locks and went back to my room. About twenty minutes later, I heard some noise outside, so I came out to check. I saw the old lady and Miss Liang carrying their luggage and leaving..."
"I wanted to send them out, but the old man was still in the living room at the time and told me not to worry about it, so I... I went back to my room..."
The whereabouts of the gift box was already obvious, but anything required evidence, so Xie Xihe still found the surveillance footage at his doorstep after 10 o'clock last night to confirm it.
Three minutes later.
Looking at the caller ID on his phone, Xiang Si was surprised and pressed the answer button. "The sun is rising from the west, why are you up so early?"
"Meet me at the airport." Xie Xihe said simply, and got straight to business. "WCE's dress is gone."
Xiang Si shook the coffee cup in her hand, and a dark brown stain immediately appeared on her clothes. She didn't have time to care about it and immediately asked, "What's going on?"
Xie Xihe briefly explained the situation and finally said, "I have something to do now. Please take care of it first. I'll come back later."
Xiang Si's face was cold and she nodded, "I know what to do."
??See you tomorrow
