“Do my parents know about this?” Xia Wan glanced towards the shop across the street.
Xia Hai and Yan Han had been busy recently with the acquisition and renovation of the opposite shop, so they temporarily left their own shop in the hands of Zhou En for management.
“When those people came earlier, I planned to inform your parents,” Zhou En said, also looking towards the opposite shop. “But they weren’t in the shop, so I had to step in.”
“I wonder if they have returned now.” Xia Wan immediately got up, “I’ll go check.”
For some reason, she felt uneasy.
As Xia Wan entered the shop, she saw two new employees huddled together, seemingly talking about something.
Approaching them, she asked, “Where are my parents?”
The employees, startled at first, exchanged glances, hesitant to speak.
Xia Wan’s brow furrowed. “What happened?”
“Today, a man claiming to be your uncle came looking for his daughter and son-in-law,” one employee finally spoke up.
“Did my parents leave with him?” Xia Wan sensed something was wrong.
“At first, your parents didn’t want to help,” another employee added. “But then your aunt rushed in, demanding that they return her daughter and son-in-law.”
“They left with them to avoid causing a scene in the shop.”
“Before leaving, they told us not to tell you, afraid you’d worry.”
“They said they would return soon,” the first employee said regretfully. “But it’s been several hours now, and they haven’t come back.”
Xia Wan’s expression grew grimmer, “Were there others with my uncle and aunt?”
The employees exchanged looks and shook their heads.
One of them said, “We didn’t see anyone else, but they came in a car, so we don’t know if there were others inside…”
Before she could finish, Xia Wan had already turned and run outside.
Zhou En and Liu Hua followed her, concerned.
Zhou En tried to reassure her, “Don’t worry too much, maybe they just…” Liu Hua quickly silenced Zhou En with a gesture.
Xia Wan interjected, “My uncle and aunt couldn’t possibly have driven here. There must have been someone else in the car!”
“My parents must have been taken away!”
‘What?” Zhou En grew anxious, “Why would they take your parents?”
“Is it to threaten you? But we haven’t received any messages!” Zhou En was puzzled.
“My uncle’s family is naive; they’ve been used!” Xia Wan said, dialing Chen Mo’s number.
With her current abilities, she couldn’t find them quickly and had to rely on Chen Mot s help.
“What’s wrong?” Chen Mots voice sounded tired.
“My parents have been taken away! ” Xia Wan said urgently.
She had a feeling something would happen but hadn’t expected her parents to be involved.
“Don’t panic. Are you at the shop? I’ll be right there, ” Chen MO responded promptly and with more energy.
“Okay!” Despite her urgency, Xia Wan knew this wasn’t the time for rash actions.
She tried to calm her nerves and returned to the shop with Zhou En and Liu Hua to wait.
Within twenty minutes, Chen MO and Xu Ye arrived.
“What happened?” Chen MO asked immediately upon seeing Xia Wan.
“My uncle and aunt were used to take my parents away!” Xia Wan relayed what she had learned from the employees.
Feeling helpless without any clues, especially in a place without surveillance, she grew more anxious.
Chen MO gently embraced her, “Don’t worry, I’ve already contacted Officer Song. He’ll be here soon with his team.”
As soon as Chen MO finished speaking, police sirens were heard outside.
Officer Song entered the shop with two young policemen, “What’s the situation?”
“Xia Wan’s parents were taken from this shop. The employees from the shop across said it was her uncle and aunt who took them,” Chen MO explained, comforting Xia Wan while talking to Officer Song.
“Did the kidnappers leave any message?” Officer Song had his team record the situation, weighing the severity of the matter..
