Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“What happened to Wanwan today? You seem to have a lot on your mind.”
Xia Hai had just returned from the shop when he noticed Xia Wan’s distant expression.
Yan Han also glanced in Xia Wan’s direction, observing her sitting on the sofa by the window, her chin resting on her hand as she gazed off into space.
“I don’t know! She was already like this when I came back.” “I called her a few times, but she didn’t respond.
“She didn’t even hear me breaking a cup just now.
“It was only when Xia Feng came back and tapped her that she snapped out of it.
“Wasn’t she always like this? She has returned to how she was…” Although curious, Xia Hai refrained from disturbing them.
He felt that Xia Wan was preoccupied with something significant.
At that moment, Xia Wan was indeed contemplating something very important…
In the car, Chen MO gripped Xia Wan’s hand and spoke gravely, “You took too much of a risk with the mental hospital. If something had happened, I would’ve…”
Chen MO paused, then shifted the topic. “Xu Ye mentioned that when he was handling the procedures for you last time, he also investigated all the industries related to the mental hospital.
“Besides the ones the police have already seized, there are some you might find interesting.” Chen MO said, presenting a list.
Xia Wan examined the list attentively.
The dilapidated mental hospital, despite its unassuming appearance, was involved in a lucrative human organ trade. The masterminds wouldn’t dare pocket the money directly, making it more likely they converted it into assets.
“These are all shady dealings, things that can’t be openly attributed to those people.” Chen MO tapped the list and added, “After extensive investigations, this is what we found. The police couldn’t trace the money, so they missed these assets.”
Despite his words, acquiring these assets wouldn’t be straightforward.
Xia Wan suddenly had a realization and turned to Chen Mo. “The police couldn’t uncover it, so how did you manage to…”
“What?” Chen MO interjected, playfully pinching Xia Wan’s cheek. “Is there anything you think I can’t do?”
Xia Wan slightly raised her eyebrows, holding back her impending words.
Chen MO sensed Xia Wan’s hesitance but didn’t give her a chance to voice her thoughts. “Take this back and go through it at your leisure. Rest assured, these won’t be snatched away by others.”
He spoke with conviction, as if the assets were already in his possession.
“Wanwan, come over and drink some soup.” Yan Han’s voice called out again, accompanied by a gentle pat on her shoulder, pulling Xia Wan from her daze.
Xia Wan turned and saw Xia Hai, Xia Chen, and Xia Feng waiting at the dining table.
She immediately rose and headed towards the table, but suddenly felt a wave of dizziness and nearly collapsed.
Fortunately, Yan Han was nearby and steadied her with one hand. “Did you fall?”
Xia Hai and Xia Chen stood up rapidly, their faces etched with concern.
“What’s wrong? Do you feel unwell?” Xia Hai inquired anxiously.
Xia Chen had already hurried to Xia Wan’s side. “Why do you seem out of sorts today? Did something happen?”
Though Xia Feng remained seated, he couldn’t resist commenting, “You’re already an adult, yet you still fall so easily. How useless!”
As soon as Xia Feng finished, Xia Hai smacked the back of his head. “What nonsense are you spouting!”
Xia Feng’s habit of speaking rudely persisted. “Her frail appearance just makes her seem so weak!”
Xia Hai was about to hit him again, but Yan Han intervened. “Enough! Wanwan is alright. Little Feng, you’ll end up getting beaten senseless by your father!”
Seated at the dining table, Xia Wan reassured Xia Hai, “Dad, I’m fine. I’m just a little dizzy from hunger.”
Xia Hai nodded, visibly relieved.
Xia Chen eyed Xia Wan skeptically, sensing she might be concealing something.
Xia Feng impatiently slid a bowl of soup towards Xia Wan. “Eat if you’re hungry! Don’t get me into trouble with Dad again!”
Xia Wan accepted the bowl with a smile.
Seeing this, Xia Feng’s cheeks flushed a peculiar shade of red. Yan Han couldn’t resist teasing him, “Our Little Feng is showing concern for others now!” Xia Hai snorted, choosing not to remark on his son’s behavior..
