Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love
Chapter 469 - Chapter 469 Chapter 467 She Went to Look for Him Personally

Chapter 469: Chapter 467: She Went to Look for Him Personally Chapter 469: Chapter 467: She Went to Look for Him Personally Ming Yao tried to call Gu Siting but couldn’t get in touch with him.

She was extremely anxious, and thereupon made a major decision.

She was going to find him in the Northern Desert.

Old Madam Gu and Song Yulan learned about it and both tried to persuade Ming Yao not to go.

After spending some time with her, Old Madam Gu had completely changed her opinion of Ming Yao.

Originally, because Ming Yao was not the woman who saved her life, she was cold and distant towards her and had even tried to match Gu Siting with Shi Yuan, and now she deeply regretted it.

During this time, although Ming Yao hadn’t spoken much to her, she took very good care of her.

Her health wasn’t very good, so Ming Yao would take her pulse and administer medicine.

The meals she prepared were as delicious as ever, and she didn’t withhold food from her.

If it had been another woman, they might have kicked her while she was down at this point.

But she didn’t.

Song Yulan’s impression of Ming Yao had improved even more.

First of all, Ming Yao was the first to discover her locked in an iron cage in a cave, and secondly, Ming Yao had been attending to her health.

In the days when Siting wasn’t there, she took care of her and Old Madam Gu with the utmost detail, like a daughter.

Song Yulan had been confined for nearly thirty years, so she had a strong sense of wariness towards others, and aside from Gu Siting, she was now only willing to be close to Ming Yao.

When she learned that Ming Yao was going to look for Gu Siting, Song Yulan grabbed her hand and shook her head, “Yaoyao, don’t go. Siting will take care of himself, and he will return safely.”

“Aunt Lhan, don’t worry, I can protect myself, and I won’t cause any trouble for Siting if I go there.”

Old Madam Gu came over and placed her Buddha Beads on Ming Yao’s wrist, “I’ve worn these Buddha Beads for many years, they will bless you with safety.”

A trace of unease was evident in Old Madam Gu’s eyes as she feared that Ming Yao wouldn’t accept them.

Ming Yao pursed her lips, “Thank you.”

When Jing Hang learned that Ming Yao was heading to the Northern Desert, he rushed to find her, “Senior Sister, it’s very chaotic over there right now, are you sure you want to go?”

Ming Yao nodded, “I’ve made up my mind, I have to go!”

Jing Hang frowned slightly, “Alright then, I’ll accompany you there.”

“Jing Hang…”

“There’s no negotiation, Senior Sister, I won’t be a hindrance if I go.”

Ming Yao punched Jing Hang on the arm, “You little rascal.”

Ming Yao and Jing Hang departed by car that very evening.

The two drove to the neighboring city, then changed their appearances and identities to take a plane to the Northern Desert.

The Northern Desert was close to the desert and there were no direct flights, so the two got off at a city closer to the Northern Desert.

Then they rented an off-road vehicle and headed to the North Market in the center of the Northern Desert city.

The North Market was far less economically developed than the capital and close to the Border Pass, which had been defended by the King of the Northern Desert for many years with no foreign enemies daring to invade.

The King of the Northern Desert held significant esteem in the hearts of the local people.

As soon as Ming Yao and Jing Hang arrived at the North Market, they could feel a heavy and mournful atmosphere.

Many locals were holding banners and protesting, accusing Gong Xiao of having killed the King of the Northern Desert.

Ming Yao got out of the car and talked to some of the locals for information.

There were rumors that after the President had an incident, he became suspicious and thought the King of the Northern Desert was trying to usurp the throne, so he ordered someone to secretly assassinate the King!

Ming Yao parked the car in an inconspicuous corner, and they got out to separately gather information.

By evening, they regrouped in the car.

“Senior Sister, what did you find out?”

Ming Yao’s brows were tightly furrowed, “Jiang Yan has escaped from the Northern Desert Royal Mansion, it seems like Gu Siting saved her. Now Jiang Yan and Jiang Rui each have their own power, and they’re at odds with each other. What about you, what did you find out?”

“It seems like Jiang Yan’s forces are in the desert area, which means that Fourth Master Gu might also be there.”

Ming Yao nodded, “We’ll drive there right now.”

As they left the North Market, the environment became increasingly harsh, with the uneven road surface causing the vehicle to jolt continuously.

Jing Hang glanced at Ming Yao, who wasn’t being even slightly fussy, and sighed softly, “Senior Sister, why is your love life so full of hardships? I really wish you could be like a typical woman, without having to worry about all this.”

Ming Yao curled up the corner of her lips slightly, “Actually, I quite like this thrilling lifestyle. If I were like a typical woman, that wouldn’t be me.”

Jing Hang shrugged his shoulders, “That is true.”

After driving through most of the night, as the dawn started to break, Ming Yao and Jing Hang drove the car into the desert.

There was a town at the edge of the desert; it was quite large but economically backward, sparsely populated, and it looked somewhat desolate.

After inquiring, the two learned that Gu Siting’s men were temporarily stationed in an abandoned building.

Men in black guarded the entrance of the abandoned building. When Ming Yao saw one of them, she quickly approached, “Ah Da, do you recognize me?”

Ah Da was one of the Hidden Guards from the Dark Cabinet.

Ah Da showed a hint of surprise in his eyes when he saw Ming Yao approaching.

“Miss Ming?”

Ming Yao nodded, “It’s me. Is your Fourth Master inside?”

“The Fourth Master has gone out to take care of some business.”

“Can my junior brother and I go in and wait for him?”

Ah Da nodded, “Of course, you can.”

Everyone in the Dark Cabinet knew about the significance of Ming Yao in Fourth Master Gu’s heart.

The rooms inside the abandoned building were either missing windows or doors, presenting a scene of utter ruin.

Ah Da took Ming Yao to Gu Siting’s room, “The Fourth Master stays in this room.”

Ming Yao looked at the simple room and immediately felt a deep heartache for Gu Siting.

He must have suffered a lot coming here, hadn’t he?

“Please take my junior brother to rest.”

“All right.”

Ming Yao cleaned up the room for Gu Siting, replaced the bedding with the sheets she had brought, and washed his dirty clothes.

Returning to the room, she saw there were no curtains on the windows. She cut the bedding she had taken off into two pieces and hung half over the window as a makeshift curtain.

After arranging everything, Ming Yao lay down on the bed and took a nap.

She didn’t know how long she had slept when she was awakened by a series of urgent knocks.

“Miss Ming, Miss Ming…”

Ming Yao quickly rose from the bed, opened the door, and saw the anxious-looking Ah Da. She frowned and asked, “What happened? Did something happen to your Fourth Master?”

“No, it’s your junior brother and Miss Jiang; they started fighting.”

What?

Jing Hang and Miss Jiang got into a fight?

Miss Jiang must refer to Jiang Yan, right?

Why would Jing Hang get into a fight with Miss Jiang?

“Hurry and take me there.”

Jing Hang and Jiang Yan were sparring in the training field. Jiang Yan, with short hair, dressed in black tight-fitting attire, was slender and tall, with a handsome face that, at first glance, could be mistaken for a young man.

She was skilled, almost matching Jing Hang move for move.

Jing Hang was always a gentleman and would not rough up a lady unless it was a special circumstance.

But now, he showed no mercy whatsoever towards Miss Jiang.

After more than ten moves, Jing Hang suddenly landed a palm strike on Jiang Yan’s shoulder.

Jiang Yan’s face changed, cold sweat appeared on her forehead, and she retreated several steps.

Just as she was about to fall to the ground, Ming Yao quickly stepped forward and steadied Jiang Yan.

“Jing Hang, Miss Jiang is hurt, why did you really hit her?”

Jing Hang furrowed his brows, “She got what she deserved for being injured!”

Jing Hang dusted off his clothes and walked away with big strides.

Since her rebirth, Ming Yao had never seen Jing Hang so angry.

Ming Yao looked towards Jiang Yan, “Miss Jiang, did you know my junior brother before?”
