Chapter 177: Chapter 177 I Dreamed About It_1

Xia Bowen kept taking deep breaths.

It had been many years since anyone had dared to talk to him like that, especially since she was a junior.

He didn’t want to get too entangled with her.

Xia Bowen changed the subject, "Can I call you Little Nuan?"

Song Yunuan smiled cheerfully, "Of course, you can."

"Little Nuan, can you tell me where you got the information from?"

"I dreamed it up," Song Yunuan continued, "You don’t need to think about the Gu family and the Chu family; they currently don’t know about my uncle’s situation."

"Did you tell your family about it?"

"There’s always a ’what if.’ What if Shangguan Heng commits murder to silence others, and my uncle can’t return? Wouldn’t they be more heartbroken?"

Xia Bowen’s expression instantly darkened. Even if he felt no affection toward Xia Xindong, if Shangguan Heng had killed his son, he would be equally furious.

He said, "He wouldn’t dare."

"It’s not about daring, perhaps he simply can’t bear to do it."

On the other end, Xia Bowen fell silent for a moment before finally saying with difficulty, "Little Nuan, your uncle definitely won’t be back within the scheduled time, we’ll have to stall a bit longer, or maybe I should make a trip there myself."

Song Yunuan sounded surprised, "You’re taking action personally, yet it still requires more time? You’re being too modest, aren’t you?"

Xia Bowen wasn’t angry.

"Right now, it’s not convenient to travel between the two sides. He’s not answering calls, and I am helpless. Nowadays, Shangguan Heng blatantly ignores his own sister and daughter; he only has eyes for the new medicine your uncle is preparing to research."

Song Yunuan, "Then it’s up to you."

"What do you mean by that?"

"If you really want your uncle to return home safely, aren’t there plenty of ways to do that?

Why would you need to go there in person? Isn’t it like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut?"

On the other end, Song Yunuan sighed in incomprehension.

Xia Bowen’s brows remained tightly furrowed.

Where did the girl get her information from? She wasn’t telling the truth, but that wasn’t something to rush; he could always ask her later.

Was she a fearless calf who thought because she knew some secrets, she could threaten Shangguan Yunqi, that foolish woman, and then considered herself third in line to heaven and earth?

An attitude that dismisses everything is utterly unacceptable.

He would teach her a good lesson when the opportunity arose, not expecting that his descendants could be so outstanding.

At this moment, Xia Bowen’s mindset had changed somewhat.

That was normal.

People always act in their own interests.

Parents, relatives, brothers, and sisters—all these relationships are also mixed with interests.

This isn’t a moral issue that needs condemnation; it’s human nature.

Xia Bowen, having made up his mind, patiently explained to Song Yunuan, "This matter is very complicated. Don’t act rashly and put yourself in a passive situation. You should know, many things can’t be solved with one fell swoop; doing so only leads to endless troubles."

Song Yunuan blinked, wondering what he meant. Was he teaching her a lesson?

Song Yunuan reiterated, "Old man, I’m not joking with you, and I haven’t been joking with Shangguan Yunqi.

You mustn’t think that you can gloss over this matter because I am young; that’s absolutely unacceptable.

This touches upon matters of principle.

You must surely want to ask me, even if Xia Xindong isn’t brought back within five days, what can you do to us?

Write a complaint letter? Can a complaint letter be immediately processed?

Then you go to the police to file a report—do you have any evidence?"

"If the old master were to say these words, indeed, there is some sense to them,"

On the other end, Xia Bowen was left speechless.

This girl was truly clever, guessing even the words he was about to say.

"If you were to say these words, it would mean you’re fully siding with Shangguan Yunqi, and there would be no turning back in our relationship!"

Xia Bowen frowned deeply and coldly retorted, "And what of it?"

Song Yunuan giggled.

"Why bother writing a complaint letter or filing a report when I could take a little stool and sit at the entrance of Shangguan Yunqi’s workplace to tell a story? The story’s title is, ’The tragic tale of the gifted village kid named Xiao Tian, who was betrayed by his stepmother and sold off to Xiangjiang where he didn’t see the light of day for thirty years.’ It so happens that this stepmother’s name is Ximen Dani, a guidance director at a university known for wielding a large cleaver to force her predecessor to divorce. Her act was the perfect interpretation of the phrase ’seizing love through force,’ earning her the title of a heroic woman. And her husband is named Li Goudan, born into poverty, yet..."

Xia Bowen’s veins throbbed on his forehead as he quickly interrupted, "Enough, let’s not go that far."

"I’ve got plenty more titles, like the one about a certain chairman who ruthlessly locked his genius son in an underground lab for thirty years, all because of a word from his mistress!"

Xia Bowen wished he could travel through the phone line.

To stop Song Yunuan’s nonsense.

What Ximen Dani, what Li Goudan.

Even though Xia Bowen found these words unbelievable, his heart sank.

The girl was really shooting off at the mouth.

In this regard, he had an intuition because his own literary accomplishments were quite high.

Memorized scripts and improv weren’t the same flavor.

The titles she came up with were too sinister.

Her mind moved too quickly.

If the girl were actually to take her little stool and sit outside Beidu University to recount a thirty-year saga of love and hate,

Xia Bowen realized, the story was indeed quite rich.

And then there was the recent episode.

Going to his ex-wife to demand the Xia family heirloom, only to come back holding his own parents’ memorial tablets.

If this story were to get out, he’d lose all face.

"And I wouldn’t just tell stories outside Beidu University; I would also visit your workplace, your son Xia Ming’s workplace, and your daughter-in-law’s mother’s place, right there at the Rocket Residential Area entrance.

I imagine your daughter-in-law’s mother, who doesn’t get along with your wife, would be very happy to listen to my stories. She might even be delighted enough to offer me tea and water!"

Xia Bowen was shocked, "Where did you learn all this information from?"

"I dreamed it all up, of course."

Xia Bowen fell silent.

It must be Gu Huai’an or Chu Zizhou who gave her the information.

Xia Bowen’s grip on the phone tightened slightly. Gu Huai’an, could he really go this far for Little Nuan?

Xia Bowen, being a big shot, was quick to weigh the pros and cons, "Little Nuan, when it comes to dealing with your uncle, you and I stand together. I’ve made up my mind. I will depart for Xiangjiang tomorrow. Even if things go smoothly, handling all the related procedures will be complicated, but at the latest, I will set off within three days.

Once I get your uncle out, I’ll call you. I will personally bring him back to Nanshan County Town and ensure he’s safely home."

Song Yunuan asked Xia Bowen, "Are you sure once you get to Xiangjiang, you can bring my uncle back?"

Xia Bowen replied, "This is the best approach currently."

Because Shangguan Heng wasn’t answering phone calls now.

In Xiangjiang, only a few people from the Shangguan family were in contact with them, and currently, no one was answering, not just Shangguan Heng.

Obviously, it was Shangguan Heng not allowing it.

Xia Bowen, out of face-saving, didn’t admit it outright.
