Chapter 259: Chapter 259 Can Xia Bowen Not Hear?_1

Xia Bowen and Team Leader De came together.

Zhu Feng twisted her body and went into the house.

The children had all grown up.

She didn’t need to face them anymore.

As for questioning Xia Bowen about his lack of conscience, it no longer had any meaning.

She still harbored hatred, though.

It was she who should not have married Xia Bowen, should not have brought three children into this world, letting them suffer so much.

Perhaps being born into another family, they wouldn’t have had to live like this.

Zhu Feng only wished that Xia Bowen and Shangguan Yunqi would not die in peace.

Xia Bowen could no longer remember what Zhu Feng looked like, but he suddenly remembered Third Child Xia, and before leaving, he still couldn’t get the truth out of Third Child Xia’s mouth.

With such a tough mouth, that must mean he was certain others wouldn’t find out the truth.

So Third Child Xia had indeed done something guilty.

Then did Zhu Feng know?

Xia Bowen’s emotions were only a fleeting moment, gone in the blink of an eye.

Someone like him wouldn’t linger on past events.

He looked at Song Yunuan, his voice gentle, "You must be Little Nuan."

Song Yunuan smiled and said, "Mmm, Old Master Xia, although it’s our first meeting, we’ve talked several times on the phone, so we’re not strangers. Oh right, could you introduce us to this uncle?"

De Ming: ...

The girl was so forthright, it was endearing to others.

Otherwise, this scene would have been very awkward.

Xia Bowen started introducing De Ming with a smile.

He was the leader of the work group for this case.

Team Leader De shook hands with Xia Xindong and greeted the others, and with a few passing words, he had managed to include everyone as he made his rounds.

The tense atmosphere had also relaxed quite a bit.

No wonder he was the team leader.

He looked to be in his forties, but he was formidable.

Song Yunuan: "Uncle De, we have candidates studying here at the educated youth point, we shouldn’t disturb them, let’s go to the brigade’s office, it’s quieter over there at this time."

She had done her homework ahead of time and knew that the head of the brigade here was Chu Zizhou from the Chu family.

Upon meeting, De Ming and Xia Bowen found that this Chu Zizhou was surprisingly decent.

This village also felt quite nice.

Indeed, the brigade’s office was peaceful.

Song Liang stood outside, and naturally, Chu Zizhou wouldn’t go in either.

He simply took Team Leader De on a tour around the place.

Song Liang didn’t follow.

Concerned that if a fight broke out, he could at least try to pull them apart.

Xia Bowen stood in front of his three children, to say there was not a ripple would be false.

To say there were feelings, that too would be false.

The father and his three children were strangers.

The kind that could pass each other on the street and not bat an eye.

Xia Guilan said to Song Yunuan: "Little Nuan, why don’t you go out and play?"

She was ready to scold Xia Bowen, this heartless old thing, to vent her anger.

She didn’t want her daughter to hear it.

Xia Xindong knew what his eldest sister was about to do, so he said, "Eldest sister, you, eldest brother, and Little Nuan go out first, and I’ll have a talk alone with Mr. Xia."

This title made Xia Bowen furrow his brow, but he said nothing.

Xia Guilan didn’t want to leave, but her brother was actually different from ordinary people.

As the eldest sister, how could she not know?

Even their mother knew but only dared to cry silently behind their backs, not even daring to ask.

There are some matters that, if little brother doesn’t want to speak of them, she truly can’t extract even a single word.

Unlike the approach with Xinshan, this little brother had been estranged for thirty years.

Song Yunuan said, "Mom, uncle, why don’t you step out for a bit."

Xia Guilan glanced at her inscrutable little brother and had no choice but to lead Xia Xinshan out of the headquarters.

But when they walked out, they realized Little Nuan hadn’t come out.

She wanted to say something, thought for a moment, then swallowed her words.

She stood in the courtyard of the headquarters.

Song Liang came over and asked what was wrong.

Xia Guilan, in agitation, told him that the little brother wanted to speak alone with Xia Bowen, but Little Nuan hadn’t followed them out and had even closed the door behind her.

Xia Xindong looked at Song Yunuan, wanting her to go out too, because he was about to set a trap for Xia Bowen.

He didn’t want Little Nuan to hear it.

Yet, unexpectedly, Little Nuan, who had just a moment ago been brimming with a smiling, eager demeanor, suddenly turned pale.

Then she clenched her hands together.

Song Yunuan triggered a plot point.

Just now.

It was one involving Xia Xindong and Xia Bowen.

It happened to connect with Ye Wenzhi’s storyline.

Thus, a thin voice suddenly arose.

[Ye Wenzhi risked his life to save Xia Xindong, naturally Ye Laosi resented their uncle since it was he who had implicated their father, leading to his demise.]

[But since this man was saved by their father, Ye Laosi had no choice but to bring him back to Beidu with him.]

[Temporarily residing at the Ye family, in order to make amends, he handed over the formula for the No. 06 infectious disease to the Ye family. After much consideration, the Ye family did not keep it a secret and reported it upward.]

Suddenly this voice echoed in Xia Xindong’s mind.

He stood there, stunned.

Instinctively, he looked at Little Nuan, because it was obviously her voice.

Yet, Little Nuan’s lips were tightly shut, she had not spoken a word.

And the words, inexplicably, sent shivers down one’s spine.

In his mind, another voice, no longer as gentle and deep as usual, feigned tenderness but now shrilled and roared, "Little Nuan, this is Little Nuan’s inner voice, she, she actually has the ability to prophesy? But why can you hear it?"

Xia Xindong’s expression turned stern, and he looked at Xia Bowen, who was standing there with a complex expression, as if weighing how to break the silence.

But there was no look of shock in his eyes, so, Xia Bowen can’t hear it?

Xia Xindong felt a moment of horror, which he then forcefully suppressed.

He didn’t know what to do?

Should he intervene or let things take their course?

Before Xia Xindong could figure it out, Little Nuan’s thin voice rose again.

[Meanwhile, the family members Xia Xindong had been looking for had already been contacted, but sadly, they were all dead!]

[The Song family of more than a dozen members, Zhu Feng, along with his son and granddaughter, all died accidentally. Xia Xindong didn’t believe it; there was no rhyme or reason that both the Song family and Xia family would be wiped clean, but on the surface, that seemed to be the case.]

[Looking for clues, the uncle quickly found substantial information in less than half a month, but Lin Qing had returned to Beidu and the Su family also held power and influence, so the uncle decided to reveal his identity. Consequently, Xia Bowen rushed over and brought him back to the Xia family.]

[What a pity, he couldn’t find Little Asheng. In fact, by that time, Asheng was being held at Yao Hai’s home, which was only half an hour away from Xia Bowen’s place.]

[The uncle intended to destroy this world.]

Xia Xindong’s heart pounded uneasily.

Holding back the tempest within, he watched the silent Xia Bowen, saw the slight guilt on his face, and Xia Xindong’s gaze flickered. He went to pour water for Xia Bowen and pointed at a chair, whispering, "Old Master, please take a seat and speak."

Xia Bowen suddenly felt an unexpected appreciation; he took the water cup, glanced at Song Yunuan, who was staring at them, smiled and took a seat.

Actually, he had been in good health before.

Even at this age, he knew he could still work another ten years. By that time, the groundwork would have been laid. Xia Ming would be almost ready, and the joint venture company could be handed over to his son, ensuring his vision was passed on smoothly.

People are selfish, and he believed in his own ability to grow the joint venture bigger and stronger.

Xia Ming was diligent and an excellent successor.

Actually, everything was proceeding according to plan.
