Thinking it over, Xia Liu drove to the Longyun Hotel.
He didn't ask anyone and just pulled Zhang Qing into the car.
"The front desk said that Xue'er's ntal state isn't very good, and the car drove off in that direction." As soon as she got in the car, Zhang Qing shared so information and then pointed towards an intersection ahead.
"When did she leave?" Xia Liu asked while driving in that direction.
"Around 4:30."
"It's been an hour, I wonder how Xue'er is doing..." Zhang Qing beca visibly distressed.
During this ti, she and Huang Xue had beco close friends.
Now that this had happened, how could she not be worried?
"Don't worry, nothing will happen," Xia Liu could only offer reassurance.
He bore the greatest responsibility for this situation, if it wasn't for the confrontation, she wouldn't have left like this.
Or perhaps if his attitude had been more cheerful, the outco wouldn't have been like this.
Xia Liu drove along the road, continuing straight whenever he was on a major avenue.
He had no idea where Huang Xue had actually driven off to.
Zhang Qing wasn't idle either; while Xia Liu drove, she was making calls on the side.
But ever since she woke up, Huang Xue's phone had been turned off.
Even so, Zhang Qing didn't give up and kept dialing, hoping to hear her voice and know she was safe.
After driving about a hundred kiloters, Xia Liu finally lost all hope as well.
It was like looking for a needle in a haystack, with so many roads, even driving endlessly wouldn't guarantee a chance encounter.
"Xia Liu, do you think sothing bad might have happened to Xue'er?" Zhang Qing asked with teary eyes.
Xia Liu remained silent; he wasn't sure, and the only thing to do for now was to call Chen Jin.
Just as he was taking out his phone, suddenly a ssage popped up on the screen.
It was from Huang Xue!
Zhang Qing imdiately perked up on the side.
She quickly snatched Xia Liu's phone to check it.
After Zhang Qing read the ssage, her expression instantly turned grim.
"Xia Liu, what exactly is going on?"
"It's nothing, let
see what she sent." Xia Liu didn't answer imdiately and started checking the phone.
"Sorry, Xia Liu, I shouldn't have deceived you. The family precept is real, I made up my dad's illness, but my grandfather really has a strange disease, and anyone who cos in contact with him will die,
After my parents knew you cured my illness, they asked
to invite you, but I can't just watch you die, I'm about to board a plane, maybe we'll et again if fate allows..."
After reading the ssage, Xia Liu was deeply unsettled for a long ti.
So the reason why Huang Xue had been silent was this; she was worried that if he went to treat the illness, he might die...
Seeing how she repeatedly ntioned the family precept, it seems to be real; perhaps she was truly bound by it for her entire life.
"Xue'er's phone is turned off!" While Xia Liu was reading the ssage, Zhang Qing was dialing Huang Xue's phone, and the result was still the sa.
"Xia Liu, please tell
what this is all about."
"Let's talk while we walk," Xia Liu felt sowhat guilty.
He had mistaken Huang Xue's concern for hostility, ultimately leading to this ridiculous outco.
By the ti they returned to the Longyun Hotel, it was already 9 in the morning.
Zhang Xiaoxue, being extrely worried, had gotten Li Dazhuang to drive her to the hotel early in the morning.
When Zhang Qing and Xia Liu returned, she imdiately ran up and embraced Zhang Qing.
"Xiaoxue, don't worry. Xue'er should have safely reached ho by now," Zhang Qing said, gently patting Zhang Xiaoxue's back.
"I was terrified! Wuu wuu, how could Sister Xue'er leave us behind like that?" Zhang Xiaoxue said with a sob.
"Let Xia Liu have so peace, and I'll explain to you in the office." Glancing at Xia Liu's cool, handso face, Zhang Qing led Zhang Xiaoxue upstairs first.
"Brother Xia Liu, what happened? Do we need to call the brothers from the village?" Although Li Dazhuang did not know what was happening, the atmosphere around them felt oppressively heavy.
"No need, Dazhuang. I might need to leave for a few days, and I'll leave the village matters to you and Xiaoxue."
Xia Liu smiled wryly, having made up his mind on the way back.
He needed to find Huang Xue, apologize, and take responsibility!
"Ah! Can that work?" Li Dazhuang was sowhat worried. If Xia Liu was not in Osmanthus Village, it would definitely be difficult to move forward.
"Dazhuang, have confidence in yourself. We don't need to venture into anything new right now, just take the right opportunities to do what needs to be done," Xia Liu said, not waiting for Li Dazhuang's agreent before taking him into the private room for a detailed discussion.
An hour later, Li Dazhuang promised with a smile, "Brother Xia Liu, rest assured, I definitely won't let you down."
Actually, the tasks Xia Liu had entrusted were simple: once the seafood was sold out at both Longyun and Longteng hotels, just call Liang Caiming for fishing.
With Ye Ming handling matters on this side, there wouldn't be any problems.
Regarding the distillery, Li Zhi would be in charge of the brewing zone, so there was no need to worry.
As for the cooperation with Tianluo Pharmaceutical, Xia Liu also inford Liu Lanxin that if dicinal liquor was needed, just call Li Dazhuang.
Moreover, Xia Liu went through the process of making the dicinal liquor with Li Dazhuang as well.
For the base liquor, a phone call would ensure it was delivered; the main concern was the herbal ingredients.
He had also to prepare a few batches before leaving; these herbs weren't like the ingredients for the Beauty Mud which couldn't be stored for long, so there was no need to worry.
Xia Liu went over each of the other large and small tasks as well.
After Li Dazhuang confird everything was correct, Xia Liu went to the office and updated Zhang Qing and Zhang Xiaoxue about his plans to find Huang Xue. Read latest stories on empire
The two won naturally did not object; they even strongly supported Xia Liu.
As for Huang Xue's ho address, neither Xia Liu nor Zhang Xiaoxue knew it; only Zhang Qing knew a bit.
But she only knew it down to the city level, not the precise address.
"Yuanguang City, huh..."
Muttering to himself, Xia Liu drove to town, where he needed to buy the herbs for making dicinal liquor.
They would certainly be for sale at Tianluo Pharmacy.
Right now, he had no ti to consider other matters; after completing the purchase, he would pack the herbs.
He would then package them into several portions and hand them over to Li Dazhuang.
After finishing his tasks, Xia Liu drove fast toward Binlai.
The distance from Yuanguang City to Binlai was over three thousand kiloters; driving there was not very practical, only flying was feasible.
Three hours later, Xia Liu leaned against the window, gazing at the soft, floating clouds outside.
Before boarding the plane, Xia Liu had left his car at Wanqing Hotel.
What he needed to ponder now was, upon reaching Yuanguang City, how he would go about finding Huang Xue.
Sitting beside Xia Liu were two others; next to him was an elderly man around sixty years old.
Next to him sat a girl, and from the conversation between the elderly and the young, they seed to be grandfather and granddaughter.
The girl looked about sixteen or seventeen, average in appearance, but with a pair of delicate, fair hands.
As soon as he boarded the plane, Xia Liu felt that the elder sitting next to him must be a traditional dic, as there was a faint scent of Chinese dicine on him.
"Grandpa, is the news Uncle talked about true? Curing the other person's illness would get us fifty million?"
