1188 The Right Direction

“Country Y… This is Country Y? Song Yaoyao!”

Someone placed his hand on Song Jingwan’s shoulder and asked worriedly, “Miss, are you alright?”

“Don’t touch me! Go away!”

Song Jingwan shouted and pushed the other party away. She stumbled as she wrapped her scarf tightly and ran away.

!!
The person who was pushed away almost fell down. “Oh! Damn it! She must be in trouble.”

Just as the kind-hearted person said, Song Jingwan’s situation was very troubling.

She did not have any documents on her, no money, and she could not take a taxi. She did not even know where she should go.

Just like that, she wandered around Country Y, where there were very few people on the streets during the day. When night fell, people seemed to arise from the ground and they wandered the streets in groups.

Song Jingwan hid in a corner and looked at the luxurious hotel not far away in a daze until a tall figure suddenly entered her line of sight.

She was first shocked, then ecstatic, and quickly rushed out.

“Armand!”

…

“Miss Song, Song Jingwan has been taken away.”

“As expected-”

Song Yaoyao looked at the photo of the man holding Song Jingwan tightly. His side profile was handsome and his figure was tall. The bright light from the hotel shone on his back, making him look like a god.

“Didn’t you get a picture of his face?”

Something flashed through Song Yaoyao’s mind quickly, but before she could think about it, it disappeared.

She only felt that this man’s face was very familiar…

“No, that man has many bodyguards around him. We can’t get too close. Currently, Song Jingwan is settled in a villa owned by him.”

Song Yaoyao lowered her eyes and tapped her fingers on the table.

She suddenly changed the topic and asked, “Where’s Gege? Has he gone to Country Y?”

“Yes.”

Song Yaoyao nodded. “I got it. You can go down first. Pay attention to the movements on Song Jingwan’s side. Next time, try to get a photo of the man’s face for me.”

When the study room became quiet again, Song Yaoyao rubbed her wrist and fell into deep thought.

Where on earth had she seen that man before?

How strange…

Ding-

Her phone rang.

Song Yaoyao casually grabbed her phone and opened it. A friend request popped up in front of her eyes.

[NX has requested to be your friend]

[Remarks: Don’t reject me yet. I have something to tell you. Quickly agree.]

Song Yaoyao didn’t even blink and directly rejected him.

Just as she put down her phone, a call from an unknown number came in.

Song Yaoyao wanted to reject the call, but her hand paused at the ‘reject’ button before she finally picked it up.

“It’s me.” The voice coming from the phone was slightly hoarse and sounded very tired. “Don’t hang up yet. I really have something to tell you.”

“I’ll make it short. This phone card is temporary and will only be used once. So be quiet first and listen to me. You’re looking in the wrong direction. The mastermind isn’t Zhong Li-”

“I know,” Song Yaoyao said plainly.

The other end of the phone paused for a moment before a low chuckle sounded, “Alright, you’re so smart. You should have thought of it long ago. He only wanted to target my uncle and snatch his business. He didn’t want to take anyone’s life. Today, I mainly want to talk about Zhongli Xue…”

Song Yaoyao went from being nonchalant to slowly sitting up straight.

The entire call only lasted a few minutes, but the amount of information contained in it made Song Yaoyao unable to digest it for a while.

“Zhongli Xue… Country Y…”

Suddenly…

A flash of lightning flashed in her mind and Song Yaoyao quickly grabbed onto it.

She stood up abruptly. “It’s him!”

It was the man she met by chance at Alice’s ‘funeral’.

Song Yaoyao grabbed her phone and quickly contacted Huo Jiu, giving a series of instructions.

Then, she thought for a moment and sent the photo to Huo Yunque.

Huo Yunque did not let her wait for long and quickly replied.

“He’s still alive…”

The Gordon Family had disappeared from history. The head of the family had been assassinated, and the only heir had gone missing.

It turned out, it was related to the Lancaster Family.

It was inconvenient to type, so Song Yaoyao made an international call.

As soon as the call connected, Song Yaoyap said excitedly, “Gege, we are getting closer and closer to the truth!”

Huo Yunque chuckled. “Yes, Mrs. Huo is so smart.”

“Ah, why are you…” Song Yaoyao was embarrassed, “Why are you acting indecent again?”

“Huh? Isn’t it Mrs. Huo?”

This… was indeed impossible to refute.

Song Yaoyao pouted. “Yes, yes, Gege, tell me in detail, what exactly happened back then?”

“It’s just a normal territorial competition,” Huo Yunque said concisely. Just as he was about to continue, he heard a gunshot.

Song Yaoyao was shocked. “Gege!”

“It’s okay, don’t be afraid,” Huo Yunque comforted her calmly. “I’ll be fine, you have to be good.”

“Sir, please leave. It’s dangerous here!”

Song Yaoyao tightened her fingers and pursed her lips. “Gege, you have to promise me that you’ll come back safely.”

The voice on the other end of the phone became increasingly noisy, mixed with the sound of messy footsteps. After a long while, Huo Yunque’s deep voice was like a sharp knife, cutting through the layers of noise and clearly reaching Song Yaoyao’s ears.

“I promise.”

After hanging up the phone, Song Yaoyao sat there for almost the whole night.

As soon as the sky brightened, Song Yaoyao immediately went out. “Arrange a plane, I want to go to Country Y!”

“Miss Song, you can’t! It’s too dangerous there. The Master said…”

“Uncle Zhang, I’ve made up my mind.” Song Yaoyao was very calm. “If something happens to Gege, I don’t want to continue living alone.”

In this world, she was on her own.

“Song-”

“Miss Song, I heard that something happened to Mr. Huo?”

Song Yaoyao looked up and the first thing she saw was a bunch of white flowers. The handsome man wore a black suit and had an evil smile on his face. He handed the flowers over. “I’m sorry for your loss.”

Even though Song Yaoyao knew what was going on, she was still furious when she heard this.

She dodged the flower and hit Zhong Li hard. “F*ck you!”

“Ow-”

Zhong Li was stunned. It took him a while to react. He chuckled and then burst into laughter. “You sure know how to curse at people.”

Song Yaoyao didn’t even look at him. She was about to get into the car.

“Hey, I came early in the morning. The big families in Country Y are trying to seize power. Are you sure you want to get involved now?” Zhong Li raised an eyebrow. “Aren’t you afraid that you’ll die if you go?”

“Song Yaoyao!”

Huo Ningxi got out of the car and quickly stood in front of Song Yaoyao. “Be good. Don’t go to Country Y now.”

“Ha,” Song Yaoyao sneered and glared at him. “What position are you in to stop me? I think you want something to happen to your uncle, don’t you?”

“You…” Huo Ningxi’s face turned pale. “Is that how you see me?”

“Ningxi, are you okay?”

Zhongli Xue took a step forward and held Huo Ningxi’s hand. She said unhappily to Song Yaoyao, “Miss Song, please don’t be so mean to Ningxi.”
