Chen Xi quickly comforted Fu Yao, who was crying, and assured her that he would help her.
"Yes, thank you, Xi'er, thank you so much!"
With Chen Xi's words, Fu Yao felt much more at ease, and her mood gradually calmed down.
"Let's not talk about this anymore, sisters. I'll have someone check for you right away."
Chen Xi continued to comfort Fu Yao, and only when she heard that Fu Yao's voice and mood had improved did she feel a little relieved.
"Won't this disturb your rest? It's so late."
Fu Yao then realized that it was almost 11 o'clock in China.
"It's alright, I'll have someone look for it first."
Chen Xi spoke gently, not wanting Fu Yao to feel like she was troubling her.
"Okay, then you should get some rest."
Fu Yao's emotions gradually stabilized.
"Okay, I'll hang up now."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Xi immediately arranged for someone to investigate the matter.

Yan Xiluo finally finished drawing the custom-made jewelry, and now I'm instinctively stretching and relaxing on the balcony...
"hiss……"
Clearly, she had forgotten her injury; the pulling pain in her waist made her quickly lower her outstretched hand.
In the middle of the night, Yan Xiluo's phone rang at an inopportune time, and the silence of the night made the vibration on the table even more jarring.
"Hey, what's up?"
When Yan Xiluo saw that the number was calling from country X, she knew that things were not simple.
"Boss, our base in country X has been bombed by the enemy!"
All that could be heard on the other end of the phone was a hurried, flustered voice, with unsteady breathing, and occasional booming sounds.
"Are any of the brothers injured?"
At this moment, Yan Xiluo was only worried about whether her brothers and sisters in the base were injured; everything else was another matter.
"No, not really. It's just that the base is in a terrible state. The enemy will be here soon. This is a mercenary king from Country E."
He couldn't find out why the elite soldier wanted to destroy their base, nor did he know what he would do next, so he had no choice but to call Yan Xiluo for help.
What is he doing here?
Yan Xiluo frowned. They had no grudges against each other, right? They didn't have any connection whatsoever, did they? Bomb her base? What did that mean? Did he want her to blow his head off?
"I heard they came to take away the troops stationed at the base in country X. Somehow, they discovered our base in country X."
He only found out about the other person; the other person was a mercenary king, so naturally he couldn't beat him!
"Interesting! Wait for me, I'm heading to the airport now. I should be landing in about three hours at the earliest. You have to hold on."
Yan Xiluo completely ignored the pain in her lower back from the strain and casually packed some things into her backpack.
"good!"
He hung up the phone, shoved it into his pocket, put on a black baseball cap, and set off immediately.
She arrived in country X around 2 a.m. If things go well, she might be able to get home before 7 a.m.
It's so late, Ah Hong and Ah Xiu are both asleep, so there's no way to get them to help stall for time tomorrow.
"Ranran, I have to go out for an urgent matter. If I'm not home by tomorrow morning, can you help me think of an excuse to keep Mom and Dad waiting?"
Now, Yan Yinran was the only one who could help. After sending the message, Yan Xiluo did not leave the room. She locked the door from the inside and then jumped off the balcony.
The second floor was nothing to worry about. Although her back hurt a little when she went down, she could still bear it. At this point, she had to climb over the wall to get out and couldn't leave through the front door.
The Yan family has security guards on duty 24 hours a day, so if they are seen, they will be exposed.
Fortunately, the Yan family's small wall was too easy for her, and she escaped in no time.
At this moment, Yu Ling was already waiting for her not far away on her motorcycle.
"Yu Ling, give me the key. Go back and rest."
She didn't intend to take Yu Ling with her, so she took off the helmet hanging on the front of the car and put it on.
"Boss, didn't you say you couldn't ride a motorcycle? Besides, you have a back injury right now."
Yu Ling looked on with confusion, worried that something might happen to her.
"I know how now."
Yan Xiluo took the key, spoke calmly, then inserted and twisted the key, swayed her long legs, turned the accelerator, leaving only a gust of wind and a cool silhouette.
Yu Ling stood there dumbfounded, never expecting her boss to be so fierce on a motorcycle. Cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
The city of A was quiet late at night, the roads were wide, the lights were colorful, and the streetlights were warm. Yan Xiluo turned the accelerator to the floor and shortened the one-hour journey to the airport to half an hour.
Who knew riding a motorcycle could be so exhilarating? It's just as thrilling as racing, but there's one downside: race cars are like metal wrapped around your body, while motorcycles are like your body wrapped around metal! She's a girl who values her life, so even though motorcycles are fun, she'll ride them less often!

m Country Hospital
Sun Shanshan was lucky; blood bags were transferred from another hospital, and she was able to receive a transfusion, thus escaping the danger to her life. However, she won't wake up anytime soon.
After successfully transferring from the ICU to a regular ward, Fu Yao moved Sun Shanshan to a VIP ward so that she could rest and recuperate properly.
Fu Yao and Sun Zhibin stayed by Sun Shanshan's side the whole time, their faces full of worry. It was hard to tell whether they were heartbroken for Sun Shanshan or worried about their child whom they had never met.
"Honey, didn't you notice anything unusual on the day you gave birth? Did the baby stay with you the whole time?"
Sun Zhibin also found it hard to accept this fact. His child had been raised by him since childhood, and even when his parents helped, the child was always taken care of at home.
They see the child every day. If the child isn't their own, surely they'd notice if the child looked different someday?
"Although I am mildly nearsighted, I am certain that my baby did not leave the delivery room. If you want to say that she left my sight, it was when the baby was born that the doctor took her to the side of the delivery room to bathe her, and after she was cleaned, he brought her back to me."
When the baby was born, she was exhausted, but she kept staring in the direction of the baby and watched as the doctor handed the baby over to the nurse and took it to the side of the delivery room to be cleaned.
Of course, she couldn't have seen the process of cleaning the child. The delivery room only has one entrance and exit, and it's impossible that the child wasn't her own when she gave birth, right?
Fu Yao racked her brains but couldn't figure out which part went wrong.
"I just hope we can find our child soon. I wonder if she's doing well now..."
There was something Sun Zhibin didn't dare say: he even doubted whether the child was alive or dead. He couldn't imagine... they hadn't even met yet.
"I've already asked Xi'er to help me look, and she said she'll investigate. I'm confident we'll find it!"
Fu Yao trusted Chen Xi completely; from childhood to adulthood, Chen Xi had never failed to keep any promises he made to her.
She has pinned all her hopes on Chen Xi and now only wants to find that one child. She also hopes Sun Shanshan can recover quickly and start a new life.
