Chapter 368: 368: Double lines, Jiang Zhi is going to be a dad! (One more update)
Lu Family.
Yao Bixi was restless, pacing back and forth in the living room: “Why isn’t Grandma back yet? Her phone is unreachable, too.”
Every month at the end of the month, Lin Qiunan went to the temple to pray, setting out early in the morning. The round trip should take less than two hours, but it was almost lunchti, and she still hadn’t returned.
Lu Xinglan was rarely awake, but she made a phone call to the driver, which also went unanswered.
Then, Yao Bixi received a phone call.
“Hello.”
“Yes, it’s .”
After she listened, she hung up, “Xinglan, sothing has happened to your grandmother.”
It was the hospital that had called. The driver who took Lin Qiunan to Qi Jing Temple was currently in ergency care at the hospital.
At half-past eleven, Zhou Xufang walked into a mall next to a pharmacy. She carried a bag to the ladies’ room, entered a stall, closed the door, took a deep breath, and pulled out a pregnancy test.
She had planned to check at ho, but she couldn’t wait.
After a while, her phone in the bag rang.
Zhou Xufang, sitting on the toilet, answered it.
“Xu Fang.”
It was Fang Lixiang.
“Yes.”
Fang Lixiang was as urgent as she was: “Did you check?”
“I did.”
Fang Lixiang couldn’t wait to ask: “How many lines? How many lines?”
Zhou Xufang looked at the red lines on the pregnancy test in her hand and smiled slightly: “Two lines.”
The pharmacy clerk had said that two red lines ant it was positive.
“Congratulations,” Fang Lixiang excitedly joined in.
Zhou Xufang was a bit shy but happy: “Thank you.”
Recently, Jiang Zhi had been wearing protection. Which ti could it have been? Did it break during…
Zhou Xufang’s thoughts made her cheeks flush. She covered her burning face, smiling so much that her eyes squinted with joy.
Xue Baoyi’s voice ca from the other end of the phone: “Fang Lixiang, why are you running off again!”
Fang Lixiang asked quietly: “Can I tell Xue Baoyi? Or should I keep it a secret for you?”
Zhou Xufang thought for a mont: “Don’t tell her. I want to surprise Jiang Zhi.”
“Okay.”
Before hanging up, Fang Lixiang reminded her to get to the hospital for a check-up as soon as possible.
Zhou Xufang agreed, hung up the phone, and contemplated whether to find Jiang Zhi first or tell him first… She decided to first look up the precautions.
The restroom was very quiet; aside from her, there was no one else. She took two photos of the pregnancy test, carefully packed it away, and then, while sitting on the toilet, she took out her phone and started browsing Baidu.
The diet should be fresh and light; rest is important to avoid fatigue; moderate exercise is advisable, but be mindful of the waist and abdon to prevent excessive movents…
While browsing, she suddenly overheard a conversation outside.
“Has the one from the Lu family been put on the boat?”
“Yes, and the woman?”
The voices of the two n conversing were very low.
“She’s inside.”
“Is there anyone else?”
“It’s been confird. She’s the only one.”
“I’ll go down to coordinate with you. We only have ten minutes. Get it done.”
“Okay.”
The one from the Lu family…
Which one from the Lu family?
Zhou Xufang collected her things and ca out of the stall.
Outside, a man in a black suit had flipped the restroom’s sign to read – Under Construction.
After placing the warning sign properly, the man set up the barrier tape before leaving. Then, four n in work clothes entered the ladies’ room.
Zhou Xufang glanced at the four n: “Who are you?”
They moved closer.
She first raised her hand in a defensive gesture but then, thinking of sothing, lowered her hand to protect her belly and was about to shout: “Help—”
A man approached and grabbed her hand, then covered her mouth and nose with a cloth soaked in a sedative.
Zhou Xufang fainted, and just before she did, she thought to herself that pregnant won could engage in moderate activity, but how much was moderate? Could she fight? The Lu Family might be related to Jiang Zhi; she couldn’t just ignore…
Lu Family.
The phone that had been received at noon finally rang.
Lu Jingsong imdiately answered: “Hello?”
The other party was a man with an odd, especially hoarse voice: “Lu Jingsong?”
“It’s .”
The man was straightforward: “Your mother is in my hands.”
Lu Jingsong understood the situation and got straight to the point: “How much money? Na your price, as long as she’s unhard.”
The other side was pleased: “The Lu Family is indeed the Lu Family, really straightforward.” The man’s deliberately disguised voice was deep, with a hint of ruthlessness, “I’ve sent people to watch. If you dare to call the police, I’ll end her imdiately.”
After speaking, the person on the other end hung up.
Lu Jingsong sat down, his palms slightly sweaty.
“Jingsong,” Yao Bixi asked his opinion, “should we call the police?”
Lu Jingsong gave it so thought, then shook his head: “Xinglan, investigate this privately.”
Tong City.
At two in the afternoon, the film crew was ready to shoot.
After Vice Director Zhao had checked the cara positions, he went to consult with Director Jiang.
“Director Jiang.”
“Director Jiang.”
After calling twice without a response.
“Director Jiang,” Vice Director Zhao approached, “we’re all set.” Ready to start filming.
Director Jiang, as if not hearing, paid no heed and kept dialing, his brows furrowed, redialing ti and again. Zhou Xufang’s phone had been unreachable for two hours. He thought she was on a plane, but the flight from Imperial City to Tong City didn’t take two hours.
Still unreachable, he called Ah Wan.
“What is it, Boss?”
“Did Zhou Xufang contact you today?”
Ah Wan said: “No, she told she was going to see you today, that I didn’t need to follow.”
Zhou Xufang had been sleeping a lot recently, needing much sleep, so Jiang Zhi didn’t want to disturb her on the journey and let her rest until after eleven. When he tried calling again, her phone was off.
Did the plane get delayed?
Jiang Zhi was quite anxious: “Was there anything else off about her?”
Ah Wan thought for a mont: “Last night, she went to Yulin Mansion.”
Yulin Mansion was the residence of Jiang Weili’s family.
“Why did she go there?”
“She didn’t say.” Ah Wan, ticulous, added, “But Miss Zhou climbed in through a window.”
Director Jiang fell silent, his eyes cast down, his lashes trembling slightly.
Ah Wan sensed sothing was amiss: “Boss, what happened?”
Director Jiang didn’t know what had happened, but his heart felt panicked: “Could you check if she’s at Yuquan Bay?”
“I’m on my way.”
After hanging up, Director Jiang called Qiao Nanchu.
The call connected quickly, with Qiao Nanchu speaking first: “Good timing, I was looking for you.”
