The Billionaire's Hidden Affection

Chapter 881 - 878: The Plot Unfolds, Blade Revealed 2

She picked up her phone and dialed Wan Donglin’s number again, but the phone on the other end was still turned off.

She thought for a moment and dialed Zhang Xiang’s number. This time, Zhang Xiang answered immediately.

She went straight to the point: "Zhang Xiang, is Mr. Wan okay?"

Zhang Xiang’s voice was calm: "Miss Yan, don’t worry, Mr. Wan is fine. He’s been busy with something for a while, so it’s not convenient for him to answer calls. He will definitely contact you once he’s done."

She pressed: "Is everything really okay?"

"Really."

"Is Madam okay?"

"Madam is also fine. By the way, Madam asked me to tell you that everything at home is well, so there’s no need to worry."

Yan Xixi hung up the phone. Somehow, even though Zhang Xiang seemed so confident, she still felt something was off. Sure, things were different from last time. Last time, she couldn’t reach anyone. This time, both Liu Daqing and Zhang Xiang said everything was fine.

However, this time it felt more frightening. If last time she was just anxious, this time she felt a vague chill. She couldn’t shake the feeling that something was beyond her control.

Especially since every time she closed her eyes, she saw that knife, bloody and stuck in Wan Donglin’s chest.

How strange, why would she have such a terrible dream?

Just like that sudden heart-wrenching fear that day.

If he were really safe and sound, why hadn’t he contacted her?

Since they escaped together, the longest they hadn’t communicated was no more than three days... Even if he could go half a month without calling, they were always in touch via instant messaging.

Those three days were because she suddenly decided to come to South Country early and mentioned breaking up. In anger, Wan Donglin stopped contacting her as a small form of punishment.

Especially when she first arrived in South Country, no matter how busy he was, he would send at least one message every day without fail.

How could he suddenly disappear now?

It’s impossible.

She remembered Liu Daqing’s repeated reminders and was very puzzled: If something really happened, Empress Dowager Liu wouldn’t hide it from her, right?

She immediately searched for news about Rina, and indeed, she attended the premiere of a new movie the day before yesterday. The most peculiar thing was that in the photos, she was actually wearing a white gown.

Breakfast was very rich.

White rice porridge, fermented tofu, spicy pickled cabbage, and freshly stir-fried greens, sliced Zhang Fei beef next to a dish of dried chili peppers... After getting tired of sandwiches, toast, and milk, tasting these fresh flavors was truly exciting.

But this morning, Yan Xixi lost her appetite.

Lin Zhiyun came in, very respectfully: "Miss Yan, do you have any instructions?"

She paused, "Why don’t you make a trip back?"

Lin Zhiyun was very surprised, "Mr. Wan instructed that I must stay by your side for these two years and must not leave unless necessary."

She replied warmly, "Go back for me, visit Madam, and see if there’s anything you can help with. If she doesn’t need anyone, you can come back."

Lin Zhiyun hesitated a bit.

"Just go directly to Madam and say that I asked you to go back to help her. Tell her I’m fine in South Country but I’m thinking of her."

Lin Zhiyun couldn’t refuse and had to agree.

"Prepare quickly. If you can leave today, then depart today."

"Understood."

At that time, it was just six in the morning in a foreign land. Yan Xixi held her bowl again, but still had no appetite. Years of living as a con artist, the harsh life, hadn’t extinguished her sense of vigilance, even during the smoothest times.
