Chapter 222: Chapter 222 Where is the Person

Although Jiang Lingxi didn’t really care about the fate and destiny commonly used by magicians, after all, when she initially ascended the throne, in the eyes of the world, she was going against fate, trying to seize a destiny that didn’t belong to her. But just because she didn’t care didn’t mean she didn’t want to understand it.

As per a phrase she learned recently, existence is reasonable.

Since the theory of fate and destiny has been passed down for thousands of years, convincing countless people during that time, there must be something valuable in it.

She thought for a moment, "So, someone has tampered with this family’s fate?"

Shen Yunqing nodded, "That’s what Wu Jue and I are guessing. Wu Jue rushed to the hospital where Xiaotao’s mother is early today. After all, a photo is not as good as seeing it in person; he needs to see it with his own eyes and find out what exactly the illness is." He paused and added, "Or maybe it’s not an illness."

Jiang Lingxi just felt a wave of nausea.

If the truth was indeed what they speculated, then the Xiaotao family was not only kept in the dark but also had someone maliciously sapping their blood maliciously.

It’s hard to imagine how devastated the victims would be if they found out the truth.

Seeing that Jiang Lingxi didn’t even lift her chopsticks, Shen Yunqing knew her anger level had reached its peak. "Wu Jue and I will sort this out soon."

"Sure, you guys will need to put in some hard work from now on."

Just thinking about how hard it is to handle this, there’s a saying that no matter how strong you are, there’s someone stronger. Mei Shuiqing dares to act recklessly and disregard ordinary people’s lives, but they can’t be indifferent, meaning they are bound to be constrained in this matter.

But no matter how difficult it is, since they have already discovered it, there’s no reason to give up easily.

"From ancient times to now, battles between magicians have never ceased. Since this matter involves magicians, it’s Wu Jue’s responsibility."

In reliving this life, Shen Yunqing selfishly didn’t want Jiang Lingxi to have more mental burden.

This world is rich and colorful, and it should be about laying down burdens and enjoying life to its fullest.

"Well, let’s eat, or it’ll get cold. By the way, how much did the RV rental cost you?"

"Where on earth has Xiaotao gone? The hospital is calling me to pay the medical bills, saying they can’t reach Xiaotao’s phone either!"

Jiang Xiyu suppressed her irritation and looked up at Jiang Yuting, who stormed in from outside. For a moment, she even wanted to impulsively reply: Ask your mom!

But those words circled in her mouth and were ultimately swallowed back.

Even now, she could clearly recall the content of the last phone call with her aunt.

Even though she didn’t see it with her own eyes, she already guessed the situation on her aunt’s side was probably not good.

Since then, both her aunt and Xiaotao seemed to have vanished into thin air, with no news at all.

She even dared not report Xiaotao’s disappearance to the police.

In the face of Jiang Yuting’s inquiry, she could only make an excuse that she had sent Xiaotao off on an errand.

But having lost contact for so long, Jiang Yuting, however clueless, has sensed something amiss by now.

But what could she do?

"Why don’t you just pay it first, if not use my card."

Jiang Yuting held her forehead, pacing anxiously in front of Jiang Xiyu, "Is this about whose card to use? Just give me a straightforward answer, what exactly did you assign Xiaotao to do? Where is this place that even her phone can’t connect?"

All she got in return was Jiang Xiyu’s silence.

Jiang Yuting saw Jiang Xiyu’s obstinate demeanor and couldn’t help but lose her temper, "Are you still considering me as your manager? I have a right to know Xiaotao’s whereabouts as her manager. You refuse to say? Xiaotao has been unreachable for several days, it’s been time to report her missing; I’m going to the police to file a case!" She said, turning as if to go.

Being her manager is practically a joke!

The door closed heavily, and Jiang Xiyu snapped to attention, "Cousin!"

The response she got was the sound of Jiang Yuting’s footsteps suddenly intensifying.

She hastily shouted, "Cousin, Jiang Yuting, come back; you can’t go to the police station!"

A moment later, Jiang Yuting returned with a heavy expression, "Just be honest, did you decide to take out your bad mood on Xiaotao while on the set, and hit her so hard she’s seriously injured?"

Jiang Xiyu: "..."

Should she just admit to this speculation?

She was still hesitating, but in Jiang Yuting’s eyes, it became an admission, "I’m not saying that you should have vented your anger by hitting her a few times, but why on earth injure her seriously? Where am I going to find another assistant so compliant and patient with your temper? By the way, which hospital is Xiaotao in now? She wasn’t spotted by the media when sent there, right, is the hospital hidden enough?"

Jiang Xiyu responded vaguely and nodded, "Cousin, you shouldn’t get involved in this matter. I can’t take on any work for now; just get a nurse to take care of me."

Jiang Yuting’s gaze fell on Jiang Xiyu’s leg still in a cast, and she couldn’t help but wonder if this was karma. "Alright, you always have your own ideas; if you don’t want to talk, forget it. I can’t force you."

Watching Jiang Yuting leave again, Jiang Xiyu reached under her pillow for her phone. After a moment of hesitation, she pulled up her call log. The top two numbers she’d dialed no fewer than a hundred times each.

Sadly, none of them ever answered.

Just where did her aunt really take Xiaotao?

At the same time.

Wu Jue had just arrived at the hospital where Xiaotao’s mother was staying, following the lead he discovered.

The hospital was located in the suburbs of a third-tier city, with an off-the-beaten-path location but lovely scenery.

However, shortly after entering the hospital, he noticed something strange.

Although a hospital having fewer patients means fewer sick people, which is good.

But having too few patients is also odd.

He carried the fruit he’d bought on the way to visit patients to the front desk but saw the nurse behind the counter casually playing on her phone, entirely oblivious to his approach. He had to clear his throat to get her to put down the phone and look over.

"Hello, I’m here to visit a patient."

"What’s the patient’s name?"

"He Qingwen."

"She’s in ICU room 203, wait a minute, what relation are you to her?"

Unexpectedly questioned, Wu Jue replied, "...I’m her cousin."

"Cousin, that’s fine then. Our hospital’s system shows that He Qingwen has overdue hospital and medical bills for three days. If it exceeds five days, we’ll have to consult the police about handling it. Since you’re her cousin, please go to the payment window and pay the debts first."

Wu Jue: "..."

He hadn’t expected to be losing money the moment he arrived!

After obediently paying the overdue hospital and medical bills, and extending them for another month just in case, he used the hospital’s electronic navigation map to find ICU room 203, where he stood by the door and gently knocked.

Hearing a weak "Come in" from inside, he turned the doorknob and walked in.
