Chapter 230 - 228: Where Did the Boyfriend Go?

As her best friend Xiaomeng sobbed once more, Zhou was at a loss, speechless.

She didn’t even know how to start asking the Taoist priest to help find Xiaomeng’s boyfriend.

Earlier, she was full of confidence, because she didn’t know that her good friend had gone to a nightclub with a big belly!

So, she could stand on the moral high ground and blame the guy as a jerk, irresponsible.

But now...

How could she open her mouth?

If a normal man found out his girlfriend was pregnant and still dared to go clubbing, what would he think?

He might even suspect if the child in her belly was really his.

If not his, wouldn’t he be an unsuspecting dad?

This might be why Xiaomeng’s boyfriend suddenly disappeared.

"Zhouzhou, I was wrong!"

"I won’t go to nightclubs anymore."

Xiaomeng apologized while wiping her tears.

"Know you’re regretting now?"

"It’s too late!"

Zhou shook her head, saying, "There are too many unsavory people in nightclubs. Your boyfriend must suspect you’ve been unfaithful."

"And who knows, he might even doubt whether the child in your belly is his."

"I... I can explain to him..."

Xiaomeng said with grievance.

"Explain?"

"What are you explaining?"

"Are you explaining that you couldn’t stand the loneliness, so you took your unborn child to a nightclub?"

"Or explaining that although you went clubbing, you’re still a good wife?"

"All these things you’re saying, I don’t want to listen to them, will he still believe?"

Zhou desperately pressed her forehead and then said, "And more importantly, he’s now nowhere to be found."

"Even his parents can’t reach him; how can you explain to him?"

"Wah wah wah..."

After this brutal tirade, Xiaomeng burst into tears.

"Alright, stop crying!"

"Look at what you did, what’s there to be wronged about?"

Zhou snorted coldly.

The two’s back-and-forth amused the viewers.

"See, I told you my wife has good character, she was purely deceived by this friend."

"Zhouzhou’s worldview is so proper, much better than the girls I know."

"When she was clubbing with a big belly, she should have thought of this day!"

"Secrets can’t be hidden forever!"

"I think Xiaomeng has realized her mistake, she should quickly find the guy and explain."

"To err is human, to correct one’s mistake is wise, but making them again is human!"

"Making a mistake, correcting it, then making it again, correcting it again...damn, are you playing an infinite loop?"

"This is tough! The guy is uncontactable."

"Since he’s gone on purpose, I guess he won’t be reachable for a while."

"What to do? Abort the child?"

"It’s eight months already; aborting now? Seeking death?"

"Aborting is possible, but requires an induced labor operation, comes with surgical risks and significant harm to the woman’s body, possibly leading to infertility."

"Congrats, the world has gained another unmarried single mom!"

Seeing the viewers’ discussion, Zhou pondered and then bit the bullet to speak, "Master, could you help again to figure out the whereabouts of Xiaomeng’s boyfriend?"

"Xiaomeng knows she’s wrong, the child can’t be born without a father, right?"

"I know I was wrong!"

"I won’t go to any nightclubs again!"

"I swear! I swear to you, Master!"

Xiaomeng echoed immediately.

"Fine!"

"Then let me help you figure it out."

"But let me say this first, I can find out where he is, but I can’t change his mind."

"So once you find him, the rest is up to you two."

Lu Heng hesitated slightly before replying in a serious tone.

"Master, we understand!"

Zhou nodded repeatedly.

She then took out paper and pen, saying to her friend, "Xiaomeng, what are you waiting for?"

"Quickly write down your boyfriend’s name and ID number."

"The Master needs these when doing readings for others..."

"Oh!"

Xiaomeng took the paper and pen and quickly wrote her boyfriend’s name and ID number.

After double-checking for errors, she handed it to Zhou.

"Master, this is the guy’s info, sorry for troubling you!"

Zhou set up her camera and captured the content on the paper.

"Please wait a moment!"

Lu Heng looked at the information and once again summoned the Celestial Destiny System.

"System, query the past information of this person!"

[System Prompt: Querying past information will consume three days of the host’s lifespan, continue?]

"Yes!"

With his confirmation, Xiaomeng’s boyfriend Zhao’s past flashed swiftly before his eyes.

After seeing it all, Lu Heng was dumbfounded.

He didn’t expect the truth of the matter to be like this!

The viewers, not seeing him speak up, started to speculate.

"It’s over, the Master’s hesitation means something big happened!"

"Xiaomeng’s boyfriend can’t be reached even by his parents, did something happen to him?"

"Highly possible! Such mysterious disappearances often mean harm was done to the person!"

"I blindly guess the guy got into an accident and was dumped somewhere by a hit-and-run driver."

"Next, would the guy’s spirit return to seek revenge, watching the child’s birth before disappearing in the human world?"

"Whoa, have you been watching too many horror movies?"

"The Master’s hesitation likely means the guy met an accident!"

"No, right? The child hasn’t even been born, and the guy’s been hurt already, that’s too tragic!"

"Stop thinking too much, maybe the guy left because he found out he has a terminal illness."

"Your theory sounds like a melodrama!"

"The guy probably inadvertently crossed into the Immortal Cultivation Realm, that’s why he vanished."

"I got it! The guy found out he’s burdened with deep vengeance, he’ll never become a real man without fulfilling it!"

"No, no, no, he must have discovered an enemy came for him, so he left to protect his wife and child."

"Jeez, your imagination is truly vivid!"

Seeing these comments, Zhou and Xiaomeng were stunned.

Excluding the absurd guesses, they thought the first two were the most likely.

One, the guy was mysteriously harmed and dumped in the wilderness, hence couldn’t be found.

Two, the guy discovered he had a terminal illness, and to avoid being a burden, he chose to leave quietly.

Either of these tragic assumptions were quite grim!

"Wah wah wah..."

Xiaomeng’s emotions crumbled again, bursting into tears once more.

Zhou felt numb all over.

Damn!

If this was the result, they shouldn’t have asked!
