Free Web NovelChapter 1879: Chapter 1879: There’s News
There was no news of his entry that day.
On the surface, it seemed that neither of these two could be possible.
But Lu Hualiang was certain it had to be one of them!
Even though Nan Yi hadn’t had time to take someone away, what if he had made arrangements in advance?
After all, the abduction of Lu Huashan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, and then the attack on Lu Garden to capture people, was his doing.
And Long Xuanye, although he left that day with no entry news, it’s not certain that he didn’t return.
Lu Hualiang’s face was like frost, forcing himself to calm down and think about what he might have missed.
With Xia Weibao’s abilities, having inner strength for self-defense, even if there was a car accident, she wouldn’t be severely injured. An average person would find it hard to take her away.
Unless Long Xuanye did it himself!
If it really was Long Xuanye, then how did he avoid it...
Suddenly thinking of something, Lu Hualiang cross-referenced all the clues again, circling an area on the map.
Then he sent it to Yang Li, "Immediately send people to conduct a thorough search of this route and dig up every inch of it for me!"
With panda eyes from several sleepless nights, Yang Li’s brain had slowed down, and upon receiving Lu Hualiang’s order, he was stunned for a second.
Then he suddenly slapped his thigh and jumped up!
Right!
Why didn’t he think of that? The Imperial City was searched thoroughly with no trace of her, and there were no entry and exit records for Long Xuanye. It was very likely that she was taken away from an unseen location!
What could be more secretive than an underground tunnel?
Increasing manpower to search, they dug three feet deep, and indeed found that the underground drainage channel had been modified!
A pitch-black tunnel leading straight to the ruins outside the Imperial City!
Yang Li’s face turned pale. As it turned out, Xia Weibao had already been taken out of the Imperial City, and so many days had passed that all traces had been cleaned up.
The world is vast, and within a sea of people, how easy is it to find someone?
Lu Hualiang looked at the desolate wilderness in front of him, overgrown with wild grass, and the dilapidated houses, apart from the occasional sound of insects, there was a dead silence.
Here, there was no one.
Everywhere was grassland and wetlands, without a single footprint left behind.
He had already missed the best opportunity to find her.
Days of high tension, sleepless nights, and exhaustion had taken their toll.
At this moment, it all erupted.
His vision went black, and he had already fainted.
When he woke up again, it was already two days later.
It had been ten days since Xia Weibao disappeared.
Zhong Wanshu, who had been keeping vigil by the hospital bed, saw him awake, her eyes red and swollen from crying, suddenly lit up, and she anxiously asked, "Son, are you okay?"
"I’m fine."
In his calm tone was an extreme coldness.
His expressionless face inexplicably caused a chilling sensation.
He used to be like this, his demeanor so indifferent that he seemed inhuman; there was nothing but coldness, devoid of any human warmth.
It was only after meeting Xia Weibao that he slowly began to show normal human emotions.
Now that Xia Weibao was missing, he seemed to have reverted to the past.
No, even colder than before.
Lu Hualiang’s cold eyes moved, and his gaze fell on the needle in the back of his hand.
He raised his hand and pulled it out.
"Son, what are you doing!" Zhong Wanshu was startled, trying to stop him from doing something foolish.
But Lu Hualiang calmly moved his hand away, "Mom, I’m fine."
How could such abnormal behavior mean nothing was wrong!
Zhong Wanshu was deeply distressed, "Son, don’t scare mom."
"Mom, I really am fine. You should go get some rest. Instruct Housekeeper Fu to handle the reconstruction of Lu Garden; I still have things to do and won’t be going home for now."
After finishing, he made a call, asking for a set of clothes to be brought over.
