Chapter 270 Missing (6)
…
On the street beside Mandai Lake, amidst the throng of people, two people were walking. One was dressed in a blue robe and a jade crown, with an imposing bearing; the other was dressed in a purple robe, with handsome features like a painting.
These two were good looking, especially the young man in purple. He moved with an unobtrusive elegance and dignity, and the faint smile on his lips made the women around him look over at him from time to time.
"How long are you going to follow me?" Xie Jingxing asked.
Su Mingfeng shook his head. "It's a festive occasion like this. As good friends, we should naturally travel together. Why would you be reluctant?"
"I have something else to do."
"It's better to meet by chance than to invite each other. Since we've met, why don't you join me for a swim? It's been a long time since we've spent the Jade Rabbit Festival together." Su Mingfeng was dissatisfied: "You're really becoming more and more mysterious now."
Today, Su Mingfeng was out with the Su family and happened to run into Xie Jingxing, so he dragged him along. The Su and Xie families had always been close, so Master Su wouldn't say anything. At that moment, Master Su and his family were walking in front, with Su Mingfeng and Xie Jingxing following behind.
Su Mingfeng asked, "You came out alone again today. Isn't your father angry?"
Families usually go out on Jade Rabbit Festival, but Xie Jingxing was the only one there. It was obvious that Xie Jingxing had gone out on his own again. Xie Ding was probably furious. There was nothing he could do about it. He felt like he had come to collect debts from his past life to have such a son.
"With his son accompanying him, I won't join in the fun." Xie Jingxing said nonchalantly, "I'm not that free."
Su Mingfeng shook his head: "You are quite free and easy."
As he was speaking, he saw a group of people coming in front of him. Su Mingfeng was stunned: "Isn't that General Shen?"
Xie Jingxing looked up and saw Shen Xin hurriedly walking towards him, followed closely by Shen Qiu and Luo Xueyan, and behind him was a group of guards. Everyone's expression was very heavy and nervous. Su Mingfeng touched his chin and said, "It looks like the Shen family is in trouble. Why are they all like this?"
Amidst the jubilant crowd, the Shen family's expressions stood out. Needless to say, it wasn't a good omen. Master Su also noticed them and stopped to chat with them. Xie Jingxing and Su Mingfeng didn't approach, but stood at a distance. Both of them were martial artists, so they could hear each other's conversation.
Master Su asked, "Where is General Shen going?"
"Ha, just strolling around casually." Chen Xin said, "It's just that my wife suddenly felt unwell, so I had to go back to the mansion first. Master Su, enjoy your stroll." After saying that, he bowed and left without looking back.
The Shen family and the Su family were not in harmony in terms of political views. Seeing that Shen Xin did not want to talk to him, Master Su was naturally not very happy. He was too lazy to meddle in other people's business and just walked away. However, Su Mingfeng said, "General Shen is so arrogant, but why does it look like something big happened? Even if Madam Shen was not feeling well, there was no need to bring so many guards with her."
Xie Jingxing glanced at the guards and said, "The fifth young lady of the Shen family is not here."
"Ah?" Su Mingfeng was stunned.
"Chen Miao isn't here." Xie Jingxing glanced at the Shen family's group. Given Shen Miao's relationship with the other two branches, there was no way she would abandon her mother and go enjoy the lanterns with the other two branches at this time. And yet, Shen Miao wasn't in this group. It couldn't be that Shen Miao hadn't left the house at all today. On such a major holiday, even if Shen Miao didn't want to, Shen Xin wouldn't leave her alone in the house.
At this moment, a soft and sticky voice suddenly sounded: "Sister Shen is missing!"
Xie Jingxing lowered his head. Su Minglang had slipped over from Master Su's side at some point, ran to Su Mingfeng, tugged at his eldest brother's clothes, and repeated crisply, "I just sneaked over to them and heard them say they wanted to find Sister Shen as soon as possible."
Su Minglang is a glutinous rice dumpling who can be almost ignored in the crowd. It is also because he is brave that he is not afraid of being squeezed away by the crowd and unable to find the way back.
"They said maybe Sister Shen was kidnapped." Su Minglang continued, "Brother, let's go rescue Sister Shen!"
"Gone?" Xie Jingxing looked thoughtfully at the backs of the Shen family members as they walked away. He suddenly said to Su Mingfeng, "Don't make this matter public. I'm leaving first." He then looked down at Su Minglang and smiled wickedly, "If you tell anyone that Shen Miao is missing, I'll sell you to a kidnapper."
