Less than two minutes after Gong Bingye went out to answer the phone, Xia Xingchen's phone rang. It was Yi Ke calling, saying that he had found news about Ke Junchen and that he was now in E Continent, in the Y organization.
"President Xia, you have to think carefully. Even if you go to Continent E, you may not be able to meet Ke Junchen. Organization Y is not a place that ordinary people can easily enter." Yi Ke on the other end of the phone was very worried about Xia Xingchen.
Xia Xingchen silently looked at her sleeping grandmother and said firmly, "Even if it means going through mountains of swords and seas of fire, I will go and give it a try."
Yi Ke knew she couldn't change Xia Xingchen's decision, so she could only compromise helplessly: "President Xia, is there anything else I can help you with?"
Xia Xingchen said resolutely: "No need."
Yike: "You must turn on the positioning function on your phone. If you find something is wrong, send me a distress signal immediately. I will come to you as soon as possible."
Xia Xingchen: "Well, book me a flight to Continent E right away."
After hanging up the phone, Xia Xingchen squatted beside her grandmother's bed, holding her dry hand and talking to her softly. After a while, she bent down and kissed her grandmother's forehead, "Grandma, promise me that you will wait for me to come back."
No matter what, she must bring Ke Junchen back!
When Xia Xingchen straightened up, Gong Bingye happened to come in from outside.
She gently put down her grandmother's hand and walked straight towards Gong Bingye.
Gong Bingye looked at the little girl who took the initiative to walk towards him, his heart was filled with joy, and he couldn't help but teasingly said: "What's wrong? Little girl, are you...missing me?"
Xia Xingchen looked up and looked at him sincerely, her eyes shining like stars. Just by staring at him like that, he felt like he was dying. "Professor Gong, I want to ask you for a favor."
Little girl, you finally know I exist!
Gong Bingye was so happy in his heart, but he still pretended to be very cool on the surface. "I never thought that the little girl who has always been so arrogant would ask me for help one day. Tell me, what do you want me to do for you? Old Gong will do my best."
Xia Xingchen rolled her eyes. Although she was still very dissatisfied with Gong Bingye's attitude, she had to ask him for help, so she had no choice but to let him do what he said. "Please help me take good care of grandma."
"That's it?" Gong Bingye was speechless. What kind of favor was this? Even if she didn't say it, he would do his best to take care of grandma, okay?
Xia Xingchen nodded.
Gong Bingye suddenly felt very disappointed. In her heart, his position was still insignificant. Even if he died for her now, he would be happier than this.
"Don't worry, leave it to me." Gong Bingye assured Xia Xingchen to let her rest assured.
Then he asked tentatively: "What are you going to do? Do you need my help?"
He knew that the little girl must be going to do something very important, which was why she left her grandmother, whom she loved most.
Xia Xingchen shook her head and rejected his kindness: "No need, I can handle it myself."
At this moment, he really wanted to go with the little girl.
But the little girl entrusted her most cherished grandmother to him for care, so why couldn't he let the little girl down?!
Otherwise, even this little bit of goodwill that has been hard-earned will be wiped out.
Before leaving, Xia Xingchen glanced at her grandmother again with concern. The moment she opened the door, she paused, then turned around and said sincerely to Gong Bingye, "Professor Gong, thank you."
Although Gong Bingye had a very bad impression and feeling about her, she could see that her grandmother liked him very much and he also liked her grandmother very much. She felt relieved to leave her grandmother in his care.
Gong Bingye was a little reluctant to leave the little girl, "Have a safe journey and come back soon."
After Xia Xingchen completely left, he murmured to the door: "I'll wait for you!"
After leaving the hospital, Xia Xingchen called Yikai, "Yikai, how is my brother's throat?"
Yi Kai sighed on the other end of the line and said, "Xingchen, none of the doctors you found can cure my brother's throat. Even though he's actively cooperating with the treatment, it's all in vain."
"I see."
Xia Xingchen said these four words swiftly and hung up the phone.
This further strengthened her determination to find Ke Junchen.
The flight Yi Ke booked for her to Continent E would take off in an hour.
Two hours later, grandma woke up from the nightmare in a cold sweat, "Xia Xia, Xia Xia..."
Gong Bingye was lying on the leather sofa and was just beginning to feel sleepy when he heard his grandmother's voice waking him up. He immediately woke up and all his sleepiness disappeared.
"Grandma, what's wrong?" Gong Bingye's voice was extremely gentle.
Grandma was still in the terror of the nightmare. She held Gong Bingye's hand tightly and asked anxiously, "Where's Xia Xia? Where's my little Xia Xia?"
"Grandma, don't worry. Xingchen just went out and will be back soon." Gong Bingye didn't dare to tell the truth to her grandmother.
"Child, can you please go out and help me find her?" Grandma's tone was pleading. Perhaps because she was too scared, her eyes were filled with tears.
Gong Bingye comforted her grandmother, "Grandma, don't worry, Xingchen is fine."
"No..." Grandma shook her head like a rattle, "Something happened, something must have happened to my Xia Xia."
Gong Bingye was startled, her heart in her throat, "Grandma, what do you mean by that?"
Grandma said in fear: "I just dreamed that Xia Xia was crawling towards me covered in blood, begging me to save her. She was begging me to save her..."
When grandma said this, Gong Bingye's heart immediately jumped into her throat. Could it be that...something really happened to the little girl?!
Without having time to think, he immediately took out his cell phone and wanted to call Xia Xingchen. However, just as he took out his cell phone, his special assistant called him.
As soon as the call was connected, the anxious voice of the special assistant came: "Prince, this is bad, something happened to Xia Xingchen."
Gong Bingye was startled and dazed for a moment, then he stood up. He glanced at his grandmother, stood up, and wanted to go out to answer the phone.
As soon as he stood up, his grandmother stopped him and said, "Just answer it here."
The voice was a bit loud and took some force, causing grandma to cough several times.
Gong Bingye didn't dare to disobey her grandmother's wishes and stopped in her tracks obediently. "What's the matter?"
The special assistant explained everything, "I don't know who revealed Xia Xingchen's chaotic private life. The popularity of [First Impressions] hasn't died down yet, and with this wave of attention, Xia Xingchen has been pushed to the forefront and is now topping the trending searches."
how so?!
Gong Bingye rubbed his temples with a headache.
"Contact PR immediately to suppress the hype as much as possible. I'll figure out the rest."
Gong Bingye hung up the phone and immediately clicked on Weibo.
"What happened?" Grandma asked in a very imposing manner.
This matter must be related to her Xia Xia.
Gong Bingye knew that she couldn't hide this from her grandmother, so she had to tell the truth: "Grandma, someone is slandering Xingchen online, but please rest assured, I will definitely clear Xingchen's name."
