The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker-Chapter 671 - 633 Going to Jingyu Garden

After finishing the call with Shen Wenyan, Qiao Yuxian grasped the phone, her palm constantly sweating.

Gu Yanjing is not in Capital City, and his mother has disappeared. Moreover, it’s unclear when she disappeared; from last night till now, it’s already noon, where could she possibly be?

Where could they possibly go?

She doesn’t know where to search, nor how to tell Gu Yanjing.

Others watched her but dared not speak.

Shang Hao has already sent people out to search, but after half a day has passed, there’s not a single piece of information. Gu Yanjing is not in Capital City, and someone needs to take charge of this situation and make decisions. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come to the Gu Mansion to disturb Qiao Yuxian.

"Can Aunt Ge Hong be trusted?" Qiao Yuxian suddenly asked.

"Aunt Ge Hong is someone from Aunt Yan’s family; it’s said she grew up with Aunt Yan. After Aunt Yan got married, she came along too." Shang Hao said.

"That’s right, that’s right," Aunt Mei also said, "The lady often mentioned that she has a particularly close relationship with Ge Hong, even closer than sisters."

Qiao Yuxian fell silent once more.

Lu Muyao looked at the sweat on her forehead and said, "Sit down first."

Qiao Yuxian shook her head and said, "Someone from Aunt Yan’s family made contact. Send out more people to search. The less commotion, the better."

If there’s too much commotion and someone with ill intentions finds Yan An to threaten Gu Yanjing, it will be troublesome.

"There are no people left from Aunt Yan’s family." Shang Hao said.

Qiao Yuxian glanced at him with a moment of surprise passing in her eyes. She indeed hadn’t heard Gu Yanjing mention anything about his grandfather and grandmother. After a pause, she said, "If Aunt Yan was taken away, there will definitely be someone contacting us. Search while waiting for news."

If someone captured Yan An, the biggest possibility is wanting to restrain Gu Yanjing, so they will definitely contact them.

But judging from the letter, and after so much time has passed without anyone contacting them, it’s likely Yan An left by herself.

However... her mental state is unknown, the situations she encounters and the people she meets are also unknown, what if...

Qiao Yuxian gently furrowed her eyebrows.

Shang Hao looked at her and then asked, "Mr. Gu over there... should we inform him?"

"I’ll think about how to tell him." Qiao Yuxian said, "Focus on finding her; expand the search outside Capital City as well. Try not to leak any information. I’ll take care of speaking with Gu Yanjing."

"Alright."

...

Yan An suddenly disappeared.

So much time has passed, and it’s enough for her to leave not just Capital City, but even the country.

Shang Hao led people to search. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Lu Muyao also sent people out.

With no one left from Yan An’s family, Qiao Yuxian still decided to investigate the Yan Family.

Before marrying Gu Yanjing, she investigated the Gu Family. But she only looked into Yan An and never her family.

And Gu Yanjing never mentioned it afterwards either.

Before lunch, she went back to her room to search about Yan An.

The Yan Family is in Jiang City. They were once highly esteemed there.

Yan An was an only child, and her parents died unexpectedly when Gu Yanjing was very young.

Since then, news about the Yan Family gradually ceased.

Back then, there were remarks saying that the Yan Family’s only daughter couldn’t uphold the family, leading to their decline after Mr. and Mrs. Yan’s passing.

Now, the original residence of the Yan Family in Jiang City has been deserted for many years.

However, Qiao Yuxian still managed to find a clue.

The Yan Family didn’t disappear; they simply moved elsewhere.

As for where they went, there are no traces online.

Closing the computer, Qiao Yuxian sat in the bedroom for a while.

She didn’t know how to tell Gu Yanjing.

The fact that Yan An is missing is something that should be communicated to him.

But he’s in M Continent, engaged in something extremely dangerous. Telling him now would only distract him and solve nothing.

Even if he came back immediately, or was in Capital City, things would still be as they are now.

But if Yan An really encountered trouble, how would she explain it to Gu Yanjing?

Qiao Yuxian gripped her phone, looking at the photo of Gu Yanjing on it.

Until Aunt Mei called her for lunch, she didn’t make the call to Gu Yanjing.

After lunch, Qiao Yuxian returned to her room, but halfway there, she turned around and went downstairs.

Aunt Mei, seeing her come down, asked, "Madam, what’s wrong?"

Lu Muyao, who was about to leave after she returned to her room, also looked at her.

"Going to Jingyu Garden." Qiao Yuxian said.

"What? Why going there all of a sudden?" Aunt Mei asked with perplexity.

Especially seeing Qiao Yuxian’s tired eyes, it was evident she was exhausted. Normally at this time, she would have already gone to rest; today she was held up, and lunch was delayed too.

"Mm, some matters." Qiao Yuxian walked outside.

Aunt Mei and the butler exchanged a glance and quickly followed her.

"If there’s something, I can go for you." the butler said, "It’s too cold today."

"It’s okay, I’ll go myself." Qiao Yuxian took her coat and put it on.

Seeing her insistence, the butler turned to look at Lu Muyao standing aside.

Lu Muyao thought for a moment and said, "I’ll go with her. Don’t worry."

He felt there must be an exceptionally important issue; otherwise, Qiao Yuxian wouldn’t insist on going to Jingyu Garden. Hence, he didn’t stop her.

"Will it delay your time?" Qiao Yuxian asked.

"No." Lu Muyao replied.

Qiao Yuxian said nothing further.

The butler, seeing they had decided, knew he couldn’t say much, so he quickly called for security guards.

On the way to Jingyu Garden, Qiao Yuxian slept the entire journey.

It wasn’t until they reached the entrance of Jingyu Garden that Lu Muyao woke her up.

Qiao Yuxian greeted the gatekeeper and let the car drive in directly.

They drove all the way to the bottom of Building 13.

Qiao Yuxian asked Lu Muyao to wait in the car while she went up herself.

From the moment Qiao Yuxian entered the building, Lu Muyao began pacing around the car downstairs, looking up at the building every few seconds, stretching his ears to listen for any noises from upstairs, ready to rush up at any moment.

Qiao Yuxian entered the building and took the elevator to the third floor.

She stood at the door of the first room on the third floor for a while before pushing the door open.

The room’s curtains were drawn, and the lights were off, enveloping the room in darkness.

As soon as Qiao Yuxian entered, she first reached for the wall to turn on the light.

Suddenly bright, Shi Tan raised her hand to cover her eyes. Qiao Yuxian did not move, standing at the door, looking at her.

After a while, Shi Tan removed her hand from her eyes and looked towards the door. Upon seeing Qiao Yuxian, she paused for a moment. Seconds later, she lowered her gaze again, saying nothing.

Noticing her dark circles, pale lips, slightly messy hair, and dispirited demeanor, Qiao Yuxian said, "You’ve lost weight."

Shi Tan remained silent for a moment before saying, "You’ve lost weight too."

"Thanks to you," Qiao Yuxian walked into the room and sat on a chair not far from her, "I’ve not only lost weight, I’m close to fading away."

Shi Tan said nothing, lazily sitting on the couch, looking numb.

Qiao Yuxian, so tired her eyes were smaller than usual, forced herself to regain focus and suddenly said, "The piece you recorded before coming here, the first season aired a few days ago."

Shi Tan’s hand drooping off the sofa suddenly shifted, and her eyelashes quivered.

Qiao Yuxian ignored her reaction, took out her phone, opened a streaming app, found her voiceover work, and played it...
