Chapter 1262 - 1261: The Conspiracy in the Darkness

"You let your people drop me off at this small county and then ignored me. What exactly do you mean by that?" Xia Lianlian loudly questioned the person on the other end of the phone.

The person on the other end responded, but it’s unclear what was said.

Then, a smug expression appeared on Xia Lianlian’s face as she said, "Naturally, I’m quite familiar with Capital City over there..."

"Okay, fine, I’ll definitely handle this matter well!" Xia Lianlian, not knowing what she heard, glanced at Mother Xia and, with a twinkle in her eye, said, "But once it’s done, you must fulfill your promise!"

After a while, she continued talking with the person on the other end, seemingly discussing something.

Once the discussion was over, Xia Lianlian finally hung up the phone.

Then, Xia Lianlian’s face broke into a smile as she whispered, "Hmph, Xia Chuyi, just you wait!"

At this moment, Mother Xia suddenly leaned in and asked, "Lian’er... Who exactly are you talking to? Is it... that person who helped us escape?"

Upon hearing Mother Xia’s words, Xia Lianlian glanced at her and recalled the topic of the phone conversation.

In her heart, Xia Lianlian thought: No wonder this old woman is so stupid, she even knows to follow her meaning from "over there."

"Alright, why ask so much?" was all Xia Lianlian said. "Anyway, just follow me."

Since someone from the other side contacted her, Xia Lianlian no longer rushed Mother Xia away.

Seeing Xia Lianlian act this way, Mother Xia thought she had accepted her and exclaimed in surprise and excitement, "Lian’er, you don’t blame Mom anymore? Accept Mom?"

Hearing this, Xia Lianlian sneered inwardly.

However, thinking of her plan, Xia Lianlian forced herself to say, "Mm."

Upon hearing Xia Lianlian say this, Mother Xia immediately beamed with joy and said, "Good, good, good, so Lian’er, are we heading to Capital City to find your husband?"

"After all, your husband is still your spouse, and he’s the father of the child." Mother Xia said. "If we go to him, he will surely help."

In Mother Xia’s heart, a husband is a woman’s sky.

Whenever there’s an issue, a woman just needs to find her husband.

Speaking of which, Mother Xia’s eyes suddenly reddened again as she said, "Mom’s misfortune in life is all because your father died early..."

Seeing Mother Xia like this, Xia Lianlian immediately rolled her eyes again, thinking: I really don’t know how Xia Chuyi endured this old woman back then!

Oh, no, maybe it’s Xia Chuyi who spoiled this old woman’s temperament!

Although she thought this way, Xia Lianlian didn’t show it, just secretly rolled her eyes again and said, "You’re right, we’re going to Beijing to find Wang He, the father of the child."

"Mm, okay, after we find the father of the child, we’ll return to Lin County to fetch the child." Mother Xia said, wiping her eyes. "By then, your family can reunite, and I’ll be content."

"Okay, fine, we’ll do everything you say," Xia Lianlian perfunctorily said.

Then, after looking around and not finding anyone suspicious, Xia Lianlian left with Mother Xia.

The scene shifts back to Beijing.

Xia Chuyi and others are still completely unaware that new trouble is approaching.

Meanwhile, in Ling County, Chang Luhui hasn’t yet located Xia Lianlian’s whereabouts.

In Capital City, Huo Shiqian received new information.

Guo Jiacheng’s task seems to have encountered an unforeseen issue.

The one who informed Huo Shiqian of this was Wang Zijian.

"Shiqian, the situation is urgent, I can only trust you with this," Wang Zijian said.
