Chapter 553 "Dr. Xia, your daughter has arrived."
"..."
Everyone turned to look at Shen Huaijin.
The man's eyes were sharp, and his words were clear; he didn't seem to be joking.
The value of the island is no less than that of the underground city.
Shen Huaijin earned his current status through hard work and perseverance.
Are you willing to give it up so easily?
“I have the Hidden World Pavilion’s contact information.” Shen Huaijin picked up his phone and dialed the number.
Where is my wife?
After the call connected, Shen Huaijin roared impatiently, "Take whatever you want, just make sure my wife is safely returned, and I'll let bygones be bygones!"
"Lord Shen, what are you saying?"
The man on the other end of the line spoke calmly, a faint smile playing on his lips, and asked unhurriedly, "What's your wife doing here?"
"Stop playing dumb!" Shen Huaijin's eyes were bloodshot, and veins bulged on his forehead as he roared, "Do you want the independent island or my life? Explain yourself!"
"Lord Shen, I really don't know what you're talking about."
The other party feigned madness, speaking calmly, "We contacted Mrs. Shen, but she refused our cooperation. Since then, we have had no further contact."
"You're asking us for a lady now? I'm completely baffled!"
"you--"
"Island Master Shen, I'll hang up if there's nothing else." The other party smiled faintly and said warmly, "For something so embarrassing, I suggest you call the police."
After I finished speaking, the phone was abruptly hung up.
"brute!"
Shen Huaijin was so angry that she almost crushed her phone. "If they're not after the independent island, then what are they after?"
Pei Jinwu's face was gloomy, and he remained silent.
yes.
If it's not an independent island, then what is it?
——
Lingwu Mountain.
Shen Qianhua was drugged, put into a garbage truck, and then transported out of the island.
I woke up again.
Looking at the cold, gray stone roof, my head was throbbing with pain.
She shook her head, momentarily confused.
Where is this?
She remembered that a fire broke out in the back garden, and she rushed out to put out the fire, desperately needing all sorts of rare medicinal herbs.
The scorching flames almost made it hard for her to breathe.
And then—
Someone appeared behind her, covered her mouth and nose, and she completely lost consciousness.
What happened?
Why is she in this unfamiliar place?
Shen Qianhua, protecting her belly, sat up and carefully looked around.
If I'm not mistaken, this should be a basement.
What about Huaijin?
Where is he?
Just as Shen Qianhua was feeling lost, the locked iron gate suddenly opened.
A row of men dressed in black appeared before me, automatically splitting into two rows.
The next second.
A middle-aged man, over fifty years old, wearing a Zhongshan suit, with fierce features, slowly came into view.
"Sect Master."
The men in black standing nearby bowed their heads respectfully.
"You and she do have some similarities."
Li Xiao stopped at the door, looking at Shen Qianhua with a meaningful gaze, and spoke to himself.
who?
Who does she resemble?
Who is he?
"Who are you?" Shen Qianhua took two steps back, placing her hands in front of her stomach. Although she was flustered inside, she remained calm on the surface.
"The Master of the Hidden World Pavilion".
Li Xiao twitched the corner of his mouth and smiled as he spoke, "I contacted you before, do you remember?"
Hidden World Pavilion?
Shen Qianhua thought back and indeed remembered quite a few things.
This organization is interested in her medicine and has been trying to cooperate with her.
But Wuwu said that this organization was not a good thing and wouldn't let her have any contact with it.
She then refused.
"Why did you arrest me?" Shen Qianhua swallowed hard, her calm demeanor belying that of a "prisoner." "Money, power, or something else?"
"Oh."
Seeing the young girl in front of him with a calm expression, Li Xiao smiled slightly.
interesting.
That's so interesting!
No wonder she's Xia Xun's daughter; she has the same dog-like temper as her.
Even if Mount Tai collapses before you, you will remain calm and composed.
Even with a knife held to her neck, she could still calmly negotiate with him.
"What are you laughing at?" Shen Qianhua frowned slightly, speaking with displeasure, "Tell me, what do you want from me after you've tied me up?"
"Chen Qianhua".
Li Xiao's lips twitched, the smile in his eyes vanished, and he slowly asked, "Want to see your parents?"
parents?
Upon hearing this, Shen Qianhua's legs went weak, and she could barely stand.
Did I hear that right?
The man was asking about...his parents?
"What do you mean?" Shen Qianhua's breathing quickened slightly, her fingers clenched, forcing herself to calm down: "You know where my parents are?"
"certainly."
Li Xiao nodded, tilted his chin slightly, and said softly, "She lives right next door to you."
"..."
Shen Qianhua suddenly looked to the side and saw only a cold, heavy stone wall.
My mind is a bit of a mess right now.
If Wuwu couldn't find her parents, how did this man find them?
"Do you want to see her?" Li Xiao's tone remained gentle, making it impossible to discern whether he was right or wrong.
think.
Of course I want to.
However, Shen Qianhua did not show it; her eyes were filled with vigilance.
I won't speak carelessly before I know the other person's purpose.
"I heard you've found your family." Li Xiao changed the subject, smiling slightly. "Tell me, where are your family?"
Xia Xun's entire family was ruined, and his parents had died long ago.
Sheng Beitang was an orphan.
The relatives that Shen Qianhua found could only be her brothers and sisters, and no one else.
Many "experimental subjects".
Li Xiao felt excited just thinking about it.
"Why are you asking this?" Hearing Li Xiao's words, Shen Qianhua's heart sank heavily, thankful that she hadn't talked nonsense.
Judging from the tone of the other party, they weren't just targeting her.
And their families.
Whoever it is.
She wouldn't let him hurt her.
"Of course, it's to reunite your whole family." Li Xiao stepped forward, his gaze tenderly fixed on Shen Qianhua, then changed the subject: "No, it should be to reunite our whole family?"
us?
he?
"I forgot to tell you, I am not only the head of the Hidden World Pavilion, but also your mother's brother, your uncle."
uncle?
This news threw Shen Qianhua into complete disarray.
Is the man in front of her her uncle?
She had never heard of having an uncle!
We'll see.
Which uncle used such a despicable method to "invite someone"?
"Is that so?"
Shen Qianhua composed herself and slowly said, "It doesn't seem like it."
The siblings all look alike.
Since that's the case.
My mother must have some similarities to my uncle.
But the man in front of them had features that were completely unrelated to theirs.
Instead, he resembled a fierce and menacing masked man, deliberately masquerading as a "gentleman."
"..."
Li Xiao's expression changed slightly, his patience waning. "You don't want to see your mother?"
"How can I be sure that the person you're talking about is my mother?" Shen Qianhua's mind raced.
"It wouldn't hurt to let you see him."
Knowing her little scheme, Li Xiao didn't expose her, and confidently said, "Anyway, we have plenty of time to chat."
"Someone come here."
Li Xiao summoned his men and sent Shen Qianhua to Xia Xun's room.
Mother?
Is she really the mother?
If her mother were still alive, Wuwu would definitely be very happy.
Every step that followed felt unreal to Shen Qianhua.
finally.
After navigating countless turns, she finally stopped.
Li Xiao's personal butler knocked on the door and spoke in a sarcastic tone:
"Dr. Xia, your daughter has arrived."
——
good evening.
