Chapter 18 The First World 18 (Modern Era)



Qifei yawned, "What are you talking about? Haven't I always liked him?"

These words greatly surprised the system. [What? You've always liked him?]

Qifei asked the system curiously, "If I didn't like him, why would I marry him? I could have just gotten pregnant and given birth somewhere else, wouldn't that have been better?"

The system was extremely shocked. If it hadn't been there all along, it would have suspected that the host had changed again.

What's going on? Why is the host changing so much?

Did something happen that it doesn't know about?

However, the system felt that what Qifei said was not a lie; it could detect that what Qifei said was true, and that she really liked Shura.

This... is even more fantastical than Arabian Nights.

When the gods were investigating various spirits and monsters, did they fail to thoroughly investigate the pomegranate spirit's abilities?

Besides being able to conceive easily and having many children, does she possess some other ability that the Supreme God hasn't investigated?

The system felt it should contact the main gods to see if the information was incorrect.

Thinking that Qifei shouldn't be in any danger since she's at home every day, the system told her, "I'm going away for some further studies. Don't wander off during this time. I'll try to be back as soon as possible."

The system's words surprised Qifei: "You guys actually need to take further courses?"

"Yes, that's how we can improve quickly." The system wasn't lying. Besides reporting this matter to the gods, it also needed to go back and load some things. Keeping up with the times was no joke.

"Alright, I basically don't go out. Even if I do, Shura will send someone to follow me, so don't worry." Qi Fei waved her hand dismissively. "Go on ahead."

【Okay, host, please be careful in everything you do.】The system gave another reminder.

"Okay, okay, you little nag." Qi Fei chuckled and urged the system to hurry up, and only then did the system leave with peace of mind.

After finishing his business with his guests, Shura politely declined their invitation to dine together and urged them to hurry home.

The driver responded, knowing that Shura was probably in a hurry to get back to see his wife.

No one expected that the head of the Xiu family would love his wife so much after marriage. Although the two have not held a wedding ceremony, the ring on Xiu Luo's hand cannot lie. Coupled with Xiu's mother's words, almost everyone knows that Xiu Luo is already married and that Mrs. Xiu is pregnant.

The outside world is speculating about who this person is, and some people are even asking Xiu Mu about it.

Although Xiu's mother was not wary of her own people, she kept quiet about it to outsiders, only saying that they would find out when the Xiu family held their wedding.

Xiu Mu once asked Xiu Luo about this matter, and Xiu Luo meant that Song Qi Fei was in a very inconvenient situation because of her big belly.

Wedding day must be exhausting. What if someone gets hurt or falls?

Moreover, a wedding is the scene that every girl longs for the most. Every girl hopes to be the most beautiful bride in her best form, and he believes that Song Qifei is no exception.

So after Song Qifei gave birth, he decided to give her a grand wedding.

Xiu's mother was a little jealous. Her son had finally seen the light and was now showing all his tenderness to other women, which made her feel a little uneasy. However, overall, she still liked Song Qifei very much.

It's not just because she has a sweet tongue and is a great contributor to the Xiu family; more importantly, under her influence, Xiu Luo has become more and more humane, instead of the machine that only knew how to work and expand the Xiu family's business.

As a mother, she still hopes that her son can have a caring person. As someone who has been through it all, she feels at ease knowing that someone can understand her joys and sorrows.

Shura glanced at his watch. The meeting had gone very smoothly, so he finished earlier than scheduled.

Remembering that Song Qifei wanted to go to Starlight City last time, he immediately called and made arrangements to take her there to try it today.

Xiu Luo's phone rang. Seeing Song Qifei's number, a sweet smile unconsciously appeared on his face. "What's up? I'll be home soon, tonight..."

"Mr. Xiu, your wife is now in our hands. If you don't want her and her unborn child to die, you need to listen carefully to what I'm about to say."

The smile on Shura's face gradually disappeared, replaced by pure terror. His eyes instantly filled with bloodshot veins. "Who are you? Where is my wife?"

“Mr. Xiu, don’t worry about who I am. Just do as I say, and I will definitely reunite you and your husband.”

The driver also sensed something was wrong and immediately pulled over to the side of the road, nervously watching Shura.

Shura made a gesture to him, and he nodded, quietly turning on the car's GPS tracker.

"Tell me, what should I do?" Shura's voice was calm. If it weren't for his other hand being clenched into a fist and trembling, the driver would have thought that Shura didn't really care about Mrs. Shura.

"It's very simple. Go to Nanxiang Wharf by yourself. Once you get there, I will call you. Oh, and by the way, whatever you do, don't call the police, or you know the consequences."

The call was disconnected. When Shura dialed back, the phone was switched off.

"Go to South Lane Wharf." Shura took the locator. He was just a hair's breadth away from pinpointing Song Qifei's phone location, but the thugs clearly knew when to stop and didn't say a second more.

People who repair their homes usually install GPS trackers on their phones, but they generally won't initiate a search unless something special happens.

As the current wife of the Xiu family head, Song Qifei's phone was naturally also equipped with a tracking device, though she herself was unaware of it.

She spends most of her time renovating the house and doesn't use her phone very often.

The system did detect the anomaly, but it also detected a locator in Shura's phone, so it kept quiet; this was just a precautionary measure.

As instructed over the phone, Shura arrived at the South Lane Wharf. Just as the car stopped, his phone rang again.

At the same time, the driver turned on the GPS tracker, and only then did Shura speak, "I've arrived."

"It seems Mr. Xiu cares about your wife more than I thought." The person on the other end of the phone chuckled. "Now get out of the car and walk to warehouse 7-10."

"I need to know if my wife is safe. I demand to speak with her." Shura couldn't hear Song Qifei's voice and, unsure of her safety, his anxiety surged like oil being poured on him.

The thug didn't seem to care. "Fine, let her say a few words to you."

Shura heard rustling sounds coming from the other end of the phone, and further away, the sound of thugs tearing duct tape.

He listened intently, carefully analyzing their exact location.

The voice of the thug came from the other end of the phone, "Say something to your husband."

But there was no response on the phone. Then he heard a sharp slap and the thug shouting, "You bitch, I asked you to say something, and you dare to argue with me!"
