Chapter 1039: The Greater The Hope, The Greater The Despair

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Su Wan heard the busy tone on the phone, and her whole body was in a mess.

So she was taken as a liar by Fei’er?

But that shouldn’t be. Although her voice was a little hoarse now, with her friendship with Lin Fei’er, Lin Fei’er wouldn’t be unable to recognize her, right?!

Or… in Fei’er’s heart, she was already a person who had passed away, so when she heard this phone call, she felt terrified and immediately thought that someone was fooling her.

In an instant, thousands of thoughts flashed through Su Wan’s mind.

…

When Jiang Xuecheng saw Su Wan’s dazed look, he raised his eyebrows at Su Wan.

“Wan Wan, what’s wrong? Lin Fei’er isn’t picking up your call?”

Su Wan pursed her lips in grievance and smiled bitterly at Jiang Xuecheng.

“I don’t know what’s going on either. Fei’er refused to pick up at first, but the second time, she finally picked up after much difficulty. In the end, she hung up right after I said a few words.”

When Jiang Xuecheng saw Su Wan acting cute, he found it funny and could not help but scratch Su Wan’s forehead.

“It’s normal for her not to pick up. After all, it’s an unfamiliar call from a foreign country. Moreover, the two of us have been missing for so long.”

When Su Wan heard that, she was stunned. Yes, she and Jiang Xuecheng had been missing for so long.

Su Wan could not imagine how sad Lin Fei’er and the others would be.

After nine months, Lin Fei’er must have had a wedding with Jiang Haoxuan and had given birth. She did not know if it was a boy or a girl.

Seeing that Su Wan was in a daze, Jiang Xuecheng quickly woke her up.

“Wan Wan, don’t be in a daze. Call another number and see if you can send a message explaining your identity. If I were her, even if there was only a glimmer of hope, I would answer.”

A good friend that she had known since she was young had disappeared from this world for no reason. There wasn’t even a corpse. Would she be willing to believe that Su Wan was dead?

Jiang Xuecheng felt that if it were him, he would harbor a sliver of hope no matter what.

After all, nine months was not nine years.

There were too many possibilities.

When Su Wan heard what Jiang Xuecheng said, she quickly nodded.

“I’ll try again.”

This time, Su Wan learned her lesson. She followed Jiang Xuecheng’s instructions and sent a message to Lin Fei’er.

“Fei’er, I’m back. I’m Wan. I promise I’m not a liar. Can you pick up my call? I’m at a place called Mount Xiaohe now. If you don’t believe me, we can video chat.”

Su Wan thought that this was detailed enough, so she was full of confidence and quickly dialed Lin Fei’er’s number.

This time, it was even worse. Just as she dialed the number, a sweet but mechanical female voice came from the phone.

“Hello, dear user. I’m sorry, the number you dialed is in the middle of a call. Please try again later…”

Wait, someone called Lin Fei’er so quickly?!

It had only been less than a minute since the call just now, right?

Was her luck that bad?

Su Wan stared at the phone in shock and complained to Jiang Xuecheng speechlessly.

“Fei’er seems to be very busy. She’s on the phone with someone right now.”

When Jiang Xuecheng heard this, he glanced at Su Wan thoughtfully.

“So soon? Then did she reply to the message you just sent?”

When Su Wan heard this, she shook her head in confusion.

“Not yet.”

Could it be that God did not want her to contact Lin Fei’er and the others today?

Jiang Xuecheng reached out and took the phone from Su Wan. Su Wan thought that he wanted to call her, but Jiang Xuecheng actually returned the phone to the police officer!

Seeing Jiang Xuecheng do this, Su Wan was even more confused.

“Hey, why are you still going over there?”

Jiang Xuecheng reached out and poked Su Wan’s head.

“Silly girl, I think Lin Fei’er must have thought that you were a fraudulent phone call, so she directly blacklisted you. That’s why that happened when you called her. She might not be able to receive the text message.”

Su Wan was speechless when she heard Jiang Xuecheng’s reasonable analysis.

“No way, then what should we do?”

Jiang Xuecheng smiled slightly.

“It’s just a small problem. Let’s call her on another phone… wait, I remember now. We might be able to find someone else.”

Probably because he had always had a cold relationship with his family, Jiang Xuecheng did not think of calling his mother and the others directly this time.

He looked at the policeman calmly.

“Can I borrow your phone again?”

The policeman saw that Su Wan had failed three times in a row, and he was already complaining about Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng in his heart.

But for some reason, when he saw Jiang Xuecheng’s dark eyes looking in his direction, he could not help but feel a little afraid.

“But… yes, you can use it.”

His brain was even more disobedient. Before the police officer could react, he handed over the phone that he had just put away.

When the phone was received, Jiang Xuecheng moved his gaze away. Only then did the young police officer heave a sigh of relief.

This pair really had mysterious identities.

Listening to Su Wan’s conversation just now, what did she mean by missing for so long?

Also, he felt like he had seen their faces somewhere before, so where exactly were they?

The police officer could not think of an answer no matter how hard he tried, so he could only continue to frown and think hard.

It could not be that some third-rate celebrity had come here to film, right?

…

Jiang Xuecheng, who picked up the phone, did not know that his identity was being speculated like this.

His slender fingers skimmed over the screen of the phone and pressed a number very skillfully.

137… 5073.

Jiang Xuecheng was sure that the owner of this phone number would never hang up on him.

The reason was very simple. This was Ah Si’s private number. Very few people knew about it.

When he was in Di Chen Group, Ah Si had always been Jiang Xuecheng’s personal assistant. He often had to accept many calls for Jiang Xuecheng, so Ah Si bought a double-sim phone.

Jiang Xuecheng was the only one who knew that private number. Other than him, only some of Ah Si’s close family and friends who could be counted on one hand knew about it.

As Jiang Xuecheng expected, the phone was picked up quickly. Ah Si’s voice came from the other end of the line.

“Uh, who might this be? Why do you have this number?”

Ah Si sounded cautious and excited.

For some reason, Jiang Xuecheng felt that Ah Si had recognized him before he even spoke.

Was this a premonition?

Jiang Xuecheng had practically grown up with Ah Si and Ah Si had always worked under him. In fact, Jiang Xuecheng treated this subordinate more like a relative.

Jiang Xuecheng lowered his eyes slightly and took a deep breath before speaking.

“Ah Si, it’s me.”

There was no need to say more.

He knew that Ah Si would definitely recognize him.

In Jiang Xuecheng’s opinion, the reason why Lin Fei’er was so determined to blacklist this phone number was definitely not because she could not recognize Su Wan’s voice.

It was precisely because she recognized it that she was afraid of the feeling of despair that would only increase after she had the hope to look for it.
