Shi Xi stared at her phone screen slowly going black and said worriedly, "Something might have happened to them!"
Zhou Jin's drowsiness had dissipated. "Master, don't worry, they'll be fine."
"Let me ask my aunt if Brother Qin went home last night," Shi Xi gestured to her teacher that she had something to do and needed to leave.
After the teacher gave her permission, Shi Xi went to the toilet door to call Qin's mother.
Di Shi and Han Yan also accompanied Shi Xi out.
The call connected with Qin's mother: "Aunt, this is Shi Xi. Qin-ge didn't come to school today. I called her but she didn't answer, and she didn't reply to my messages. I'm very worried about her!"
Qin's mother cried, "Xiaoxi, Xiaoxue has gone missing. She didn't come back last night. Zhou Jin has also gone missing. His parents were very supportive when they found out that Zhou Jin was tutoring Xiaoxue, but he still hadn't come home by 11 p.m. They called to ask me, and that's how I found out that Xiaoxue and Zhou Jin hadn't come home."
After finishing her story, Qin's mother started crying again, anxious and unsure of what to do. Even a capable woman, when faced with her daughter's accident, cried and panicked just like any other mother.
"Aunt, do my parents know? Please inform them first, and have my eldest and second eldest brothers send people to look for him. We must find Brother Qin as soon as possible."
After Shi Xi finished speaking, she called Di Chenxiao. He answered quickly. "Xi Xi, you should be in class right now. Why are you calling me? What happened?"
Shi Xi doesn't call Di Chenxiao during school hours; she usually just sends a few words via WeChat to check on his meals. But she called him during class today, so something must have happened.
Shi Xi's eyes reddened with anxiety, and she said in a tearful voice, "Xiao Xiao—"
Di Chenxiao realized that Shi Xi was crying, so he hung up the phone and sent a video. In the video, Shi Xi's eyes were red and she looked very nervous.
"Xixi, what's wrong? Who bullied you? I'll get revenge for you. Where did Di Shi go? You're crying, what's he doing?"
He had known Shi Xi for so long, and he had never seen her cry before. What kind of grievance had she suffered to make her cry? He wished he could be by her side immediately and hold her in his arms.
Shi Xi shook her head. "Xiao Xiao, you hung up too quickly. I haven't finished. No, it's not A Shi, it's Brother Qin. Brother Qin and Zhou Jin are missing. Neither of them went home last night. Zhou Jin was supposed to go to Brother Qin's house to tutor her, but—, can you help me find out where they are?"
Di Chen was relieved, as long as no one was bullying Xi Xi. "Di Jiu, go and find out where Qin Xue and Zhou Jin are now. I've already asked Di Jiu to check on Xi Xi, we'll have news soon, don't worry too much."
Di Chenxiao first instructed Di Jiu to find out the person's location, and then gently comforted Shi Xi.
How could Shi Xi not worry? The book mentioned that Qin Xue had once disappeared and been sold to the desert as a prostitute. After returning, her personality changed drastically, and she stayed at home and never went out. Not long after, she committed suicide at home.
The desert was the territory of the Helian family, and the Qin and Shi families in the capital had no way to go there. Later, the Qin family exchanged one-third of their assets for Qin Xue, but it was too late.
The book doesn't describe the details of Qin Xue's disappearance, only that she was transferred several times before finally being sold to the Desert Sea. Qin Xue's disappearance was brought forward; Shi Xi knew her fate the first time she met Qin Xue.
Shi Xi thought that the day Qin Xue disappeared would be the day she planned to prevent Qin Xue from coming to school, which would change her fate. Unexpectedly, the kidnapping happened earlier than planned.
"Xiao Xiao, do you have any influence in the Desert Sea?"
"have."
"Could you send someone to inspect the passing ships? I'm afraid Brother Qin and Zhou Jin might be sold to the desert." Shi Xi knew this was a bit of a challenge for Di Chenxiao, but she could only rely on him now.
"Alright. Di'er, take your men to the Desert Sea, stop the passing ships, and check if any of Xixi's friends are on board."
Di'er hesitated for a moment, then said, "Yes."
The master knew that the Helian family was not to be trifled with, and that they and Mo Hai had kept to themselves. After this incident, the Di Group and the Helian family would have a fierce battle.
