Chapter 94: Chapter 94: Going Out Alone to Find Dad

"Mom, don’t worry, it’s still early, my dad and the others might not want to come back during the day.

With so many people around and so much stuff, they might also fear running into other problems."

"Right, darling, you’re right, your father is always so careful.

Many people went out today, and only one wave has returned now; dad surely knows and is worried about others being envious, that’s why he hasn’t come back.

We’ll wait a bit longer, I’ll go cook, you and Xiao Nuan tidy up, and it will be ready soon."

As she spoke, Qin Yue even started humming a song.

Jhiang Yuan sighed, her mom was comforting herself, forcibly remaining calm.

However, Jhiang Xingzhi and the others should also have come back by now, could it really be because they were afraid of being discovered, or perhaps they’ve encountered some trouble?

Jhiang Yuan called Xiao Nuan over, mother and daughter sat by the window, if they didn’t come back soon, it would be too dark to see.

Qin Yue was very quick, she heated up the ribs they had cooked earlier and stir-fried a plate of garlic lettuce, and also sliced a small dish of her homemade pickled vegetables.

Paired with the steaming rice, at that moment, she actually felt an unusual sense of satisfaction.

After eating, they rested for a while, and the time had already reached half-past eight in the evening.

Jhiang Yuan went next door, found quite a lot of dog food for Little One, and poured some warm water for it.

The dog was somewhat restless, circling around her.

"What’s wrong, Little One, do you miss your owner?

It’s alright, you stay nice and calm inside the house, I’ll go out and check..."

After finishing, Jhiang Yuan patted the dog’s head, her own heart was incredibly worried.

Ye Mianmian also came up, her face full of anxiety.

"Sister Yuan, could something have gone wrong? It’s been such a long time, and I am a bit scared."

"Mianmian, don’t worry, Song Yi is smart and very decisive; they might have just encountered some problems, we must not lose our composure."

"Okay, I’ll listen to you, Sister Yuan."

"Let’s head back now, Grandma is alone at home!"

After Ye Mianmian left, her mood grew even heavier.

No, she couldn’t just sit and wait.

After making up her mind, she went back and changed her clothes.

Qin Yue saw this and became somewhat afraid: "Darling, are you going out again?"

"Yes, Mom, you stay at home and take good care of the child. Keep yourself safe, I’ll go down with Ye Mianmian to check things out, maybe even meet up with someone."

"Darling, maybe you shouldn’t go, your dad hasn’t come back yet, and I don’t want you to go."

Qin Yue didn’t want Jhiang Yuan to get into any trouble, especially since it was so chaotic outside and Jhiang Xingzhi was not around.

Despite her usual tough demeanor; she really didn’t know what to do when a problem arose.

"Mom, we’re together, and we’re not doing anything else, just looking around downstairs, don’t worry.

In a little while, I’ll be downstairs; there are still some things not tidied up, you take Xiao Nuan and head to bed early."

Jhiang Yuan was bluffing, she just didn’t want her mom to worry.

She intended to go out and check, but alone.

Once at the twentieth floor, she called Ye Mianmian out.

"Sister Yuan, you’re dressed like this, are you going out?"

"Yeah, I’m going downstairs to check first, and if they still haven’t come back, then I’ll go out and search.

It’s been too long, I’m not comfortable just waiting."

"OK, wait a minute then, I’ll change my clothes and come with you."

Jhiang Yuan stopped her, leaving Ye Mianmian confused.

"Mianmian, I’ll go by myself, we need to keep someone at home with the elderly and the young.

I told my mom I’m staying at your place, later you can cover for me."

"You definitely can’t go by yourself, Sister Yuan. I’ll go with you."

"Listen to me, it’s uncertain what it’s like outside. I’ll be more at ease if you stay at home.

When they return, you can also help out."

Ye Mianmian couldn’t win over her, although she was worried, there was nothing she could do.

It rather felt like a parting of life and death.

Jhiang Yuan was set on going alone. Going alone, if there was space, it would still be quite convenient.

If she brought Ye Mianmian along, it would instead be restrictive.

By the seventh floor, she skillfully inflated the kayak, which also had a motor, never before revealed.

She had thought about keeping a backup plan, never expecting it to come into use so soon.

The neighborhood was eerily quiet, or one could say, dead silent.

She started the motor and hurriedly dashed out, also the first time operating it, much simpler than driving a car.

In just a few minutes, she had mastered it.

The journey was unobstructed. Once out of the neighborhood, she found a place to stop and turned on the high beams.

It provided long visibility, although it shouldn’t have been so conspicuous, but she had no other choice.

Going out alone was indeed somewhat frightening, she repeatedly told herself.

She had space. If things got too bad, she could just go inside. Don’t worry, don’t worry...

The service area had nothing left, she planned to go directly to the building material and home furnishing mart.

Chances were, they were there.

She sped along the road, indeed encountering a few people.

But her speed was too fast, none could catch up.

Jhiang Yuan’s mood increasingly worsened. Did this mean they really had encountered quite a few people?

About forty minutes or so, she arrived at the building material and home furnishing mart.

She rushed up, finding the spot where they had previously placed things empty, with no one and the supplies also gone.

Could she have taken a wrong turn?

With the water so wide, except for the tall buildings, she couldn’t see anything below.

Most likely, Song Yi and the others had just missed her,

The visibility was poor, with only a few faint shadows barely discernible.

She could only return and wait.

Just as she felt disheartened, she suddenly remembered a place.

West City had a relatively large clothing wholesale market in the old town area, about two kilometers from where she was.

Since she had come, she might as well make a visit; the area had several large buildings.

Besides that, there was also a mall with a food court on one floor and places for movies and other entertainment.

Most importantly, there were two full floors of gold and jewelry, famous in that area.

With lots of products and cheap prices, many people from the old town chose to shop there.

Having made up her mind, she didn’t delay, took her compass for positioning, and headed there.

Her space now lacked gold. Stocking up some in time was also a good thing.

No sooner said than done, since the route was unfamiliar, it took her a full half-hour to reach the place.

The wholesale market’s building stood conspicuously before her.

Jhiang Yuan felt elated, heading first to the mall, where there were plenty of supplies.

Although the water was high, it only reached the thirteenth floor, leaving nineteen floors waiting for her.

Thinking of the abundance of supplies cleared away the gloom in her heart.

Song Yi, you must bring Dad back safely. At this moment, all she could do was pray and believe.
