Princess is Glamorous in Modern Day Novel - Chapter 939

Chapter 939: In the Name of God

Ever since An Rao was found to be pregnant, her emotions had been unstable. It had been half a month since she last contacted Bo Xiao.

At night, An Rao slept very early after eating. Who would have thought that she would suddenly wake up in the middle of the night for no reason? She was flustered. An Rao got up and sat for a long time, but she still could not suppress the anxiety in her heart. Only then did she call Xia Wanyuan.

“Okay, I’ll ask him. I’ll call you back later.” Hearing An Rao’s cries, Xia Wanyuan woke up.

Xia Wanyuan had just hung up on An Rao when Jun Shiling’s phone rang. The vibration of the phone in the quiet night inexplicably made one’s heart ache.

Hearing his phone ring, Jun Shiling, who was hugging Xia Wanyuan, suddenly opened his eyes. He sat up and picked up the phone.

“Mm, I understand.” After a while, Jun Shiling only said these few words before hanging up.

From Jun Shiling’s instantly darkened expression, Xia Wanyuan suddenly had a bad guess. “What happened?”

“Bo Xiao is missing.” Jun Shiling frowned. He suddenly lifted the blanket and got out of bed with his phone. “I’m going to the study. Wait for me here. Don’t catch a cold.”

“Okay.” Xia Wanyuan had never seen Jun Shiling like this before, making her feel very uneasy.

Jun Shiling walked straight to the study and turned on his communicator. After a short connection, the communicator connected.

…

“How did Bo Xiao go missing?”

“We found signs of King’s activity in Ye City. Black Alligator from Continent M also appeared in Ye City. Bo went to investigate. During this period, he has been uncontactable. We have been sending people to search for him these few days, but we found Bo’s communication equipment in the Lecki Mountains.”

The signal was good and weak at times, and the voice on the other end came intermittently. “There are traces of wolves passing by the communication device, as well as thin bloodstains. Our preliminary judgment is that he had been sacrificed.”

Towards the end, the other party sounded choked up.

“Have you found the corpse?” Jun Shiling’s voice was calm.

“No.”

“Then continue searching.” Jun Shiling’s calm voice gave his subordinate, who had lost his backbone, a boost.

“But we…” The other party was a little hesitant.

Jun Shiling tightened his grip on the keyboard. “Use all your forces to find him, regardless of life or death.”

“Yes!”

The communicator was cut off and the room fell silent again. Jun Shiling sat quietly, his eyes changing.

After some time, Jun Shiling finally stood up and left the study.

The cold wind howled outside the window. The wind danced in the darkness with the fallen leaves, enjoying itself.

In the bedroom, Xia Wanyuan sat on the bed and waited. Jun Shiling walked in and Xia Wanyuan looked at him calmly. “Was he sacrificed?”

“Missing.”

Xia Wanyuan’s tightened heart relaxed slightly. At least it was not a complete hopeless situation. There was still a trace of hope.

Jun Shiling lifted the blanket and patted Xia Wanyuan’s shoulder. “I’ve already gotten someone to look for him. Rest first.”

However, Xia Wanyuan got out of bed. “I’m going to look for An Rao.”

Jun Shiling did not stop her. “I’ll send you.”

At three in the morning in Beijing, the entire city fell silent. On the empty street, there was only the sound of the wheels crushing the snow.

Jun Shiling accompanied Xia Wanyuan upstairs and stood at the door. “Go in. I’ll pick you up tomorrow morning.” Meeting Xia Wanyuan’s worried gaze, Jun Shiling planted a kiss on her forehead. “Be good, don’t worry about me. I want to stay alone for a while too.”

Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had come so late, An Rao already understood something.

Xia Wanyuan told An Rao everything that Jun Shiling had told her. “There’s no conclusion yet. The most important thing for you now is to take care of your baby.”

As Xia Wanyuan had expected, An Rao looked delicate, but her heart was very strong. “I understand. I’ll wait for the results with the child. It’s so late. Let’s go and rest.”

Xia Wanyuan accompanied An Rao to the bed. Half an hour passed, and soft sobs came from the other side of the bed. Xia Wanyuan sighed in her heart, sat up, and patted An Rao’s shoulder.

“Boohoo, I know what he did was very dangerous, and I’ve already made many mental preparations, but when it really happens, I still feel so uncomfortable.” An Rao threw herself into Xia Wanyuan’s arms. “I miss him so much.”

“He’ll be fine.” Hearing An Rao’s cries, Xia Wanyuan felt terrible. “What you have to do now is take good care of the baby and wait for Bo Xiao to come back.”

“Will he come back?” An Rao’s eyes were filled with tears. “I miss him so much.”

“He will.” Xia Wanyuan took a tissue and wiped the tears off An Rao’s face. “Can you go to sleep now? The baby needs to sleep too.”

“Okay.” An Rao nodded and touched her flat stomach. No matter what, she had to give birth to this child safely.

The strong wind that had howled for the entire night finally stopped. The street was filled with fallen leaves that had been swept by the wind and rain. It was a mess.

After calming An Rao down, Xia Wanyuan finally went downstairs. At the door, Jun Shiling’s car was still parked where it had been last night.

Xia Wanyuan glanced at the ground. There were no signs of the car leaving.

Xia Wanyuan got into the car and Jun Shiling handed her a glass of warm water. “I’m going to work. I’ll send you to school.”

Xia Wanyuan took the cup and went forward to hug Jun Shiling. She patted his back comfortingly. “I’m here.”

Jun Shiling hugged Xia Wanyuan back and hugged her tighter. “Mm.”

Time would not stop because of anyone or anything. Ordinary people still lived and had ordinary three meals a day, but in places that ordinary people could not reach, there was a huge shock.

“As expected.” In the cold laboratory, Yu Qian’s lips curled up when he saw the news sent by his subordinates. “That person is indeed related.”

“Yes, Zeus himself has disappeared for four years.” The subordinate carefully reported.

“Have you found that person?” Yu Qian took off his gloves.

“Not yet. Our people are also doing their best to find him. As soon as we find him, we’ll send him over immediately.”

“Continue to send more people.” Yu Qian walked out of the laboratory.

“Yes.”

——

Xia Wanyuan had suggested that An Rao stay in the manor, but An Rao had rejected her. Xia Wanyuan would visit An Rao every day after class. Because of Bo Xiao, Jun Shiling’s mood had not been very high recently, even though he had tried his best to hide it.

As the days approached New Year’s Day, the entire capital was filled with joy. There was already a very obvious festive atmosphere on the streets and alleys.
