Chapter 233: Heading to Jin City

Chapter 233: Chapter 233: Heading to Jin City

Qin Tianxuan clutched the piece of paper. On it were Xia Xueqing’s current address and a phone number.

He bid farewell to Huang Tian and left the Martial Arts Arena. By then, the night was already deep.

Gazing up at the bright moon in the cold autumn sky, his heart was a tangle of emotions.

’My childhood playmate, Ah Xue, is actually in danger now!’

He hadn’t been able to find her all these years, but his Intelligence Hall had dispatched a special operations team every year to search for any trace of Ah Xue.

’Jin City. I have to get there immediately.’

Qin Tianxuan returned to Frost Plum Courtyard and didn’t sleep a wink all night.

He issued a constant stream of orders: arranging security for the courtyard, organizing his daughter’s schooling, and finally, ordering Chen Haobei of the Dongshen Financial Group to head to Jin City in advance. He also instructed the heads of the four great Silver Alliances to establish a company in Jin City first, just in case.

"Chen Haobei, remember, setting up this company is crucial. I need you to get it done for me immediately. I might need a cover identity when I go to Jin City. Don’t worry about the money; I’ve already spoken with the four great Silver Alliances. They’ll give you as much funding as you need!"

Chen Haobei readily agreed and then asked about when Han Biwei would be returning to work.

"Weiwei needs some time to recover before she can go back to work. Don’t bother her. Let her do whatever she likes."

When the sky brightened, Qin Tianxuan stepped out of the small house. Milk had been delivered, and he went into the kitchen specifically to make a fried egg for his daughter.

When he turned and went back inside, he saw Han Biwei helping Niannian pack her schoolbag.

"Weiwei, you haven’t fully recovered yet. I can handle these things. If it’s too much, we can hire a nanny."

Han Biwei disagreed. "No nanny. I’m perfectly fine now. Hmm? Are you going on a long trip?"

She had noticed Qin Tianxuan carrying a bag and asked subconsciously.

Qin Tianxuan nodded. "I have to go to Jin City for some business. It might take a while."

As he spoke, he picked up his daughter, who had just walked out.

Niannian was reluctant to see him go. "Daddy, can you take me with you?"

’Kids... their thoughts are so simple.’

Qin Tianxuan also felt a pang of reluctance. He stroked his daughter’s head. "Be good at school. Your little mama will take care of you. Daddy will be back as fast as he can."

After dropping Niannian off at school, Qin Tianxuan stood at the school gate for a long time, unwilling to leave.

But the matter with Ah Xue was urgent. He sighed softly and turned to walk to his car.

"Qin... Qin Tianxuan!" Han Biwei appeared not far away. She had actually taken a taxi.

Qin Tianxuan frowned. "Weiwei, you’re being ridiculous. It’s only been a few days since you recovered. You were in a coma for so long, you haven’t even finished your physical therapy..."

Before he could finish, Han Biwei handed him a piece of paper. "You forgot this. It looked important. I... I didn’t have time to find someone else, so I had to come myself."

She was shivering from the cold wind, looking truly aggrieved.

Qin Tianxuan paused, taking the slip of paper with Ah Xue’s name and address. He fell silent for a moment.

"This Xia Xueqing... who is she to you?" Han Biwei asked, blinking.

Qin Tianxuan opened the car door and pulled her inside first.

He turned on the heat, and Han Biwei’s body stopped trembling.

There was still a little time, so Qin Tianxuan briefly told her about the old days.

The look in Han Biwei’s eyes changed. "So she’s your childhood sweetheart, your first love! You have to go, quickly."

Qin Tianxuan was speechless. "We weren’t lovers. Ah Xue and I went through life and death together, and we practically grew up together. I’ve always thought of her as a little sister."

Han Biwei began to urge him. "Say no more. You should get going. Niannian has a long school break in a few days. I’ll bring her to Jin City to find you."

Although she had lost some of her memories, Han Biwei still subconsciously saw herself as Qin Tianxuan’s wife, her tone now that of the lady of the house.

’Weiwei wants to go to Jin City too, and with Niannian?’

Qin Tianxuan felt a bit strange about it. He drove Weiwei home, then headed to the airport and boarded his private jet.

The plane soon arrived over Jin City, with the North Suburban Airport below.

From high in the air, he could see a vast, desolate area to the north of Jin City, surrounded by three mountains and shrouded in swirling mist.

That was the Battle Department’s famous "Xingtian Martial Arts Arena"!

’Excellent. Isn’t Luo Qilin supposed to challenge me there? I can take care of that at the same time!’

Qin Tianxuan left the airport, where Chen Haobei was already waiting with a car to pick him up.

"Sir, in cooperation with the four great Silver Alliances, I’ve acquired a mega-conglomerate in Jin City. The company is called the Celestial Brocade Financial Group. Its offices are in the Brocade Mansion at Number 7 Mountain and River Road, which is very close to the place you need to go!"

Qin Tianxuan looked at the address for Ah Xue on the slip of paper.

Number 3 Mountain and River Road, the Sun Clan Villa!

’Ah Xue was adopted by a couple from the Sun Family all those years ago, but she’s still using the name Xia Xueqing. I wonder if that couple treats her well. A minor family like the Sun Family is bound to have a lot of dirty laundry.’

"Have you investigated the Sun Family?"

"One moment, Sir. I’ve already investigated them thoroughly. The report is right here."

Chen Haobei, still driving, handed the investigation results to Qin Tianxuan.

Qin Tianxuan frowned at the thick file. "I only want the report on Xia Xueqing!"

Chen Haobei quickly pulled the car over and reorganized the files.

Only then did Qin Tianxuan take them again.

He opened it, and his hands began to tremble.

"Is this... all true?!"

He shook the investigative report fiercely.

Chen Haobei’s expression was grim. "It’s all true. That poor young woman, Xia Xueqing... I never imagined the Sun Family could be so detestable."

The corner of Qin Tianxuan’s eye twitched as a towering rage erupted within him. "Ah Xue grew up in a place like this? Just how much did she have to suffer to make it to today?"

"Drive faster! Get to the Sun Clan Villa now!" The file in Qin Tianxuan’s hand exploded into dust with a WHOOSH.

But the contents of the report about Ah Xue continued to flash before his eyes!
