A second chance with my billionaire husband-Chapter 1528 - 294: The Eve of the Storm—Ideal Consort (First Update)

The car drove steadily on the road.

The night market’s lights reflected on the car window glass, but couldn’t penetrate the icy deep darkness in the woman’s eyes.

Yun Ya’s fingers gently rubbed the jade pendant, its coolness spreading through her fingertips to her entire body.

Now she had acquired four jade pendants; the key to the rumored Harun treasure, worth a fortune, was in her hands.

After years of investigation, the exact location of the treasure was now confirmed.

But—

Yun Ya lowered her gaze, eyes falling on the jade pendant. Its color was clear and smooth, emitting a translucent glow like white jade in the dark.

The last jade pendant, which was expected to be difficult to obtain, surprisingly ended up in her hands, but...

Queen couldn’t possibly be unaware of the legend of Harun’s treasure; with her means, collecting the jade pendants would be no issue. But over the years, she did nothing and ultimately delivered the last jade pendant to her. What was her intention?

A foggy cloud seemed to obscure the truth, making it increasingly hard for her to see clearly.

Clutching the jade pendant tightly, Yun Ya pressed her lips, "I want to see Uncle Chang."

Mingyue turned her head from the front seat: "I’ll contact him right away..."

"Have him come to the Capital City to see me."

Mingyue was taken aback but quickly nodded.

Yan Song returned from Zhuang Xiyue’s place to Yun Ya’s room, found the slip of paper she left, and frowned deeply, taking out his phone to call Yun Ya.

No one answered.

Just then, a call came in: "Boss, Face has news."

Yan Song grabbed his coat and strode out.

Back when Allen assisted in breaking the Assassin Organization’s code to locate the IP addresses, after rounds of screening, they finally identified the suspect crew and devised a combat plan, keeping the whole operation top secret. Yet, at the last moment, Face managed to escape, prompting him to pursue to Hainan. However, this person was exceptionally cunning, ultimately escaping overseas without a trace. Consequently, the military and the Interpol collaborated to issue an international pursuit notice. After a sweeping search, traces of him were finally found in an African country.

This person was involved with the Bauhinia Society, and to avoid alerting danger, he must personally capture him.

Yan Song made a last-minute decision to go abroad. Before leaving, he only managed to send Yun Ya a text, then turned off his phone and took a private jet overseas.

Yun Ya was momentarily stunned upon receiving the text, then a faint sense of loss washed over her. There were many things she wanted to tell him.

But remembering it’s his job, she felt relieved.

Uncle Chang arrived in the Capital City early; Yun Ya went out to see him in the morning. He first reported on Ji’s work progress and the local dynamics in Jiangzhou. Yun Ya asked indifferently, "Uncle Chang, I have something I need you to do."

Uncle Chang respectfully replied, "Miss, please instruct."

Yun Ya glanced outside the door, "Uncle Chang, you are the person I trust most. Besides you, I don’t know who else I can ask for help. You’ve watched me grow up, for me, you’re like family."

Yun Ya first played the emotional card, which moved Uncle Chang to tears, "Miss, I’ve promised the old master long ago that my life would be yours."

"This matter is very dangerous, Uncle Chang, think carefully."

Uncle Chang declared without hesitation, "Miss, please instruct." He had no family or children, dedicating his life to Miss, even if she asked him to die, he wouldn’t hesitate.

"Alright."

With acupuncture support, Yan Jin’s recovery was quite good, and she actively cooperated, undergoing treatment positively, resulting in much fewer episodes compared to before.

Meng Shujing felt somewhat comforted watching her daughter improve day by day.

Yan Nanxiao had recently been increasingly absent, with Meng Shujing seeing him so rarely she could count it on one hand. Nonetheless, she was thoroughly disappointed in this man, not wanting him back even if he didn’t return for a lifetime.

Yet, after a lifetime as a couple, there was some inevitable sadness.

Additionally, during the few meetings, she noticed that Yan Nanxiao’s condition was very off; she found lipstick marks on his shirt, and the electronic bills showed increasing expenses. On enquiry, she found that most of it was spent on luxury items for women. Her natural sensitivity led her to sense something amiss, and the seed of suspicion, once planted, grew like a snowball turning larger.

Her heartbreak and disappointment only led to more resignation and acceptance.

Though Yan Nanxiao was not a good husband or father, maybe due to the responsibility as the eldest son, he never engaged in reckless relationships. The only instance was during her pregnancy with Huahua when he became ambiguous with a maid at home, which she quickly put an end to, tightening control. Since then, Yan Nanxiao dared not act recklessly again.
