Xia Nuan passed Zeng Guihua a glass of water, “I don’t know where she is. Do you know who had connections with her before? Have you noticed anything unusual before she left?”


  Zeng Guihua took a sip of tea and thought for a while, “She said she would come to Modu City, but I haven’t heard from her since then. Nuan, is it possible that she is in danger?”


  Zeng Guihua didn’t want to drink, but gripped Xia Nuan’s hands, asking again and again. It was obvious that she was anxious about Xia Yan.

  “Mom, are you serious that you have no idea about what happened?” Xia Nuan asked.

  Zeng Guihua still shook her head.

  Xia Nuan frowned, “I swept my dad’s grave a long time ago. But after that, I was kidnapped to an island and lost my phone as well. A woman who looked exactly like me came to Modu City in my name. She had done some horrible things, and I suspect it was Xia Yan. However, there’s no word from her.”


  “It’s impossible. Xia Yan couldn’t pretend to be you. You have similar voices and figures, but your faces are disparate. She couldn’t do that!” Zeng Guihua contradicted without thinking.

  Since there was no proof that Xia Yan did it, it’s just a suspicion, so Xia Nuan didn’t argue, “What matters now is to find Xia Yan. That’s the only way to find out the truth. I’m also worried about her.”


  Zeng Guihua got a little peace, “That’s right, Nuan. At least she is your sister, you can’t turn a blind eye to her. Anyway, you must get her back.”


  Xia Nuan nodded. After comforting Zeng Guihua, she accompanied her to eat some food. Then Zeng Guihua was taken to the bedroom to rest.

  Ye Sichen didn’t come back, so Xia Nuan came downstairs to find Paul. Maybe Paul knew where Ye Sichen was.

  “By the way, I forget to tell you something. Ye Sichen was attacked when I came to Feicheng City. But a woman saved him, so he survived.” Zeng Guihua said.

  Xia Nuan halted and then turned back to the bedroom. She asked Zeng Guihua, “What happened? Tell me what is going on?”


  Zeng Guihua said, “He was attacked by someone with weapon when he got off the car. But an unknown woman protected him from it……”


  Before Zeng Guihua finished, Xia Nuan came downstairs to inquire Paul.

  Actually, Xia Nuan found that Paul was preoccupied and abnormal at the beginning.

  “Paul, who attacked Mr. Ye? And the woman prevented him from being attacked. Who is she?” Xia Nuan asked urgently.

  “According to our investigation, Yuezhao Organization is behind this attack, and Ms. Luo Lan saved Mr. Ye eventually.” Paul said.

  Hearing these words, Xia Nuan slumped down into the sofa thoughtfully, wearing an expression of complexity. After a long time, she asked, “Is Ms. Luo all right?”


  “Now she is given an emergency treatment, so we don’t know the current situation.”


  Paul went out, and Xia Nuan tossed and turned.

  She thought about it. Finally, she decided to ask the situation of Luo Lan. She called Ye Sichen’s personal number with the landline.

  “Hello?” The deep and hoarse voice came up from the other side of the landline.

  Xia Nuan held her breath subconsciously for few seconds and then asked, “How about Luo Lan?”


  “Her arm was injured. She’s already out of the woods now. But she is frail, so the wound will heal slowly.” Ye Sichen said.

  “Hope she will get better soon.”


  “She will. You should go to bed early. I will come back in a few days.” Ye Sichen said in a soft voice, which made Xia Nuan’s heart beat quickly.

  Ye Sichen hung up before Xia Nuan asked more.

  Starting at the landline, Xia Nuan put it back. She lay on bed quietly and thoughtfully.

  Luo Lan saw Ye Sichen answering the phone outside. There was a trace of satisfaction on her pale face, which disappeared rapidly when he came in.

  “Ye, you can leave if you are busy. Luo Mi will be here with me later.” Luo Lan said.

  Ye Sichen sat back and tucked her in, “It’s okay. I’ll be here with you. Are you silly? Why did you risk your life under such a dangerous circumstance?”


  “I don’t want to see you in danger. Ye, I don’t want you to get hurt. Recently, my eyes are always twitching. I was worried about you, so I chose to follow you all the time. Not surprisingly, someone wanted to attack you. Ye, be careful if you go out. You’d better put on a body armor.” She said in frailty, “They used an anaesthetic bomb, but next time maybe they will take a fatal shot.”


  “I know. I will work on it. But don’t take risks next time, okay?” Ye Sichen told her with concern.

  Luo Lan nodded hesitantly.

  Zeng Guihua urged Xia Nuan to find Xia Yan every day. Xia Nuan called her subordinates in Aoshi City to go to Zhongshan City for Xia Yan. A few days later, there was a news.

  Someone retrieved a woman’s corpse from the sea between Aoshi City and Zhongshan City. However, the body was soaked in the water for too long that it was beyond recognition. Besides, according to Lan, Ye Enchen had come to Aoshi City with the woman who impersonated Xia Nuan. And he had taken her traveling from Aoshi City to Zhongshan City. But he went back to Modu City alone.

  It was likely Ye Enchen killed Xia Yan.

  “So, Xia Yan was killed by Ye Enchen? Was that her corpse? Ye Enchen! That son of bitch!” Hearing that call, Zeng Guihua was so emotional. She covered her chest as if she could faint at any time.

  “Mom, calm down. No matter Xia Yan is alive or not, I will find out the truth.” Xia Nuan had a feeling that the possibility she was still alive was slowly decreasing.

  “No! Nuan, Yan can’t die! She is your sister. You must save her! Maybe that corpse isn’t her but some else. Maybe she went to another city……” Holding her hands, Zeng Guihua became incoherent, “Although she treated me bad, she is so poor. You are always blessed by destiny, but she’s not. She can’t have a man who truly loves her. And she can’t have her own baby……”


  “Mom, you need to calm down.” Xia Nuan frowned and then helped Zeng Guihua to sit on the coach, “I have already sent someone to recognize that body. I hope it is not her.”


  Hearing this, Zeng Guihua became calm. She lay on the coach, staring at the ceiling, as if she had a heart attack.

  Seeing this situation, Xia Nuan took her to the hospital immediately.

  She was supposed to call Mi Ke’er, but Zeng Guihua couldn’t wait for her arrival.

  Paul drove them to the hospital. When they arrived, Xia Nuan took her to the emergency department. The doctor adopted first aid for Zeng Guihua to make her heartbeat back to normal, and required to keep her under observation and infusion for a while.

  Xia Nuan went out the ward with a cup to pour some water for her mother.

  “My arm is fine. But my leg is uncomfortable. Could you give me a hand?”


  “OK. Just take it slow.”


  A familiar voice sounded in Xia Nuan’s ear. Then she found that Luo Lan was held by a strong man in the hallway. The man wore a cap and beard. His face was disguised older intentionally. But the whole person looked very young.

  Just one sight, Xia Nuan recognized that the man was Ye Sichen.

  Ye Sichen took Luo Lan to the nearest hospital from the villa, but he didn’t even go back to visit her and the kids in the past few days.

  Xia Nuan was getting more and more jealous. The jealousy was growing like a seed in her heart.

  Xia Nuan didn’t know how to act at that moment. There were mixed feelings in her heart. She felt bad.

  Ye Sichen and Luo Lan saw her, too.

  Holding the cup and hiding the jealousy, Xia Nuan went to them.

  “Nuan, why are you here?” Ye Sichen was so concerned about her.

  Looking at Luo Lan, Xia Nuan smiled slightly, “Ms. Luo, are you feeling better now?”


  “I’m fine, thanks. What are you doing in the hospital, Ms. Xia?” It looked like Luo Lan was so nice. But her eyes turned complacent as she glanced at Xia Nuan’s bulged belly.

  Xia Nuan was so uncomfortable that she couldn’t bear to stay with her a second longer, “Oh, my mother is sick, so I take her here. I’ll leave you to rest.”


  She turned her back and went toward the water dispenser.

  Ye Sichen released Luo Lan, and went after Xia Nuan.

  “Nuan.” Ye Sichen took over her cup and poured water for her. He said gently, “Don’t misunderstand me and Luo Lan. She needs someone to look after her.”


  “I know.” Xia Nuan smiled as if she didn’t care, and took the cup from Ye Sichen, “Just be safe.”


  “What’s wrong with your mother?”


  “It’s an inveterate disease. But she’s out of danger now. I need to take care of her. Bye.” Then she went into Zeng Guihua’s ward.

  Ye Sichen didn’t withdraw his sight until Xia Nuan went into the ward totally.

  “Ah!”


  Luo Lan pretended to sprain her ankle, and fell to the ground.

  Ye Sichen downed to the earth. Seeing this, he helped her up and took her to the ward. Then he came to Zeng Guihua’s ward. But Xia Nuan was not in here, leaving Zeng Guihua alone in a coma.

  Standing at the back of Ye Sichen, Paul said gingerly, “Sir, Ms. Xia has gone back home in advance. She asked me to look after her mother.”


  Ye Sichen kept silent and frustrated. He was wondering if Xia Nuan left because she saw him and Luo Lan together.

  However, Xia Nuan didn’t leave. She just went out to take medicines for Zeng Guihua. When she came out of the outpatient room, she saw Luo Lan outside.

  “Xia Nuan, can we have a talk?” Luo Lan pleaded.
