Le Yao wandered back and forth in the room.

“Baby, sit down.” Qiao Qiao reached out and hugged her. “You have to trust Sir Jue.”

Le Yao nodded. “Yes, he’s the male lead. I have to believe him.”

Hai Dongyang specifically asked her to be present, but Nangong Jue refused. Instead, he got someone to pretend to be her. She also knew that with her skills, she could fight hooligans, but if she really went against those vicious triads, she would only be a burden, so she didn’t go.

The person accompanying Nangong Jue was from Area S1.

“Are you reading a novel?” Qiao Qiao flicked Le Yao. “The male lead?”

“Hehe.” Le Yao could only smile foolishly. “I just…”

“Alright.” Qiao Qiao exhaled. “I know you’re worried, but it’s useless for you to be worried, so do what you can do and wait for them to return.”

Le Yao looked at Qiao Qiao.

“You have to think about your parents too.”

Le Yao immediately shuddered. That’s right, her parents felt worse than her. If she kept doing this, wouldn’t they feel even worse? Then she smiled. “I know. Thank you, Qiao.”

Qiao Qiao hugged Le Yao. “It will be fine.”

“Yes, I’ll… go make some cheesecake.”

Looking at Le Yao’s back as she walked towards the kitchen, Qiao Qiao sighed. This girl was really… Why did she encounter so many things? Previously, she was hurt in her relationship. Now that she had recovered from Sir Jue, her days were smooth-sailing. In the end… she hoped that it would all pass quickly.

Han Baozhu and Liu Sujuan had been crying these past few days. They did not expect anyone to harm Shuo Shuo. Although Lan did not blame them, they blamed themselves.

Han Xiangdong and Nie Baozhen could only put down their work and accompany them wholeheartedly, afraid that the old couple would take things too hard. Fortunately, Nie Baozhen was already pregnant. For the sake of their grandchildren, they would not be too sad.

The wait was torturous, but fortunately, the next day, Nangong Jue sent a message that they had already retreated.

“Where’s Shuo Shuo?” Le Yao couldn’t wait to know where Shuo Shuo was.

“Shuo Shuo is not in Hai Dongyang’s hands.” Nangong Jue comforted Le Yao. “Don’t worry. Shuo Shuo should be safe now.”

“Okay.” Le Yao took a deep breath.

“Also, remember, if anyone contacts you and says that Shuo Shuo is in their hands, don’t believe them. Wait for me to come back.”

“Okay,” Le Yao agreed and hung up.

Not long after she hung up on Nangong Jue, someone called. It was an unknown number.

Le Yao wouldn’t answer unfamiliar numbers, so she hung up and blocked them.

As expected, no one called again. However, a message quickly came in: Young Lady Han, is it that difficult to answer a call?

Le Yao replied: Who are you?

The other party: “We’re old acquaintances, Tina.”

Le Yao frowned and released the number from the blacklist.

Soon, the other party called again. “Tina, you’re too unfriendly to me.”

“Duke Byron, why are you looking for me?” Le Yao frowned, her vigilance rising.

“I wanted to chat with you.” Byron smiled. “After all, we’re relatives.”

Le Yao frowned. She knew that her identity was strange, but this was not what she wanted. However, after occupying this body, she had no choice but to face all of this.
