This Translation is hosted on https://bcatranslation.com/

Half a month quietly passed just like that

On this day, the four sisters gathered at Song’s house again with some helplessness and exhaustion on their faces.

Spirit sighed again and spoke first, “Sister Song, hasn’t Brother-in-law returned yet?”

Song shook her head. She also wants to see Chu Yun due to the many questions in her head. It’s driving her crazy not knowing. Also, she’s feeling really guilty for causing this whole mess and wants to apologize.

“If he doesn’t come back soon, us four won’t be able to hold on at this rate.” Music hung her head in defeat, her air oozing resentment for the public.

God knows what they’ve been through all this time. Just about every trick in the book had been used by outside forces to verify the authenticity of the items, but in the end, they couldn’t do a thing because Song rejected every request to come inside her home. Now the ladies could only go underground and hide away to avoid further trouble.

Spirit was less negative and thought on the positive, “Didn’t Brother-in-law say that it would be a month at the latest? Let’s hold out for another half a month until he returns. Then we will know the situation with those things.”

“I don’t know girls, I’ve been feeling restless lately like something has happened to my husband.” Song suddenly opened her mouth, that tone bordering on crying.

Coco quickly moves closer to comfort the circle leader: “You’re just too tired Sister Song, don’t overthink it. I believe my brother-in-law is especially powerful. He will definitely be fine.”

“Yes, my brother-in-law has made so many awesome things, how can he be ordinary? I’m a fan of him now if you want to know.” Music nodded continuously as her eyes radiated a shine of curiosity.

Spirit hugged the weeping lady: “Sister Song, you’re probably overly stressed due to the recent attention. Take a good sleep and you will feel more confident tomorrow. Maybe your husband will be back early as well.”

……

Time passes day by day like this until they finally arrived at the final moment of the deadline.

“Tick, tick—” Song’s eyes were filled with blood as she eyed the hand on the clock.

Every time the hand inched closer to the next hour, Song’s heart would involuntarily beat harder due to the tension in her body. This heavy and tense mood affected the girls as well, thus sending the whole room into a weird and nervous tension.

As the final second skipped past twelve, Song’s already unstable mood finally crumbled and broke apart. She’s crying hard and plopped on the ground like a lost child.

A month had passed, but… he’s still not back yet!

Without thinking, the singer took out her smartphone and dialed Chu Yun’s number.

“Sorry, the number you’re calling is out of the service area, please call back later.”

“Something must have happened to my husband!” Song’s eyes revealed endless panic and worry.

Coco quickly hugged her friend’s shoulder to help reassure her, “Sister Song, don’t worry first, maybe Brother-in-law is just delayed by something.”

“No, you don’t understand, my husband never misses his appointments to me. If he says he will be back at that time then he would!” Song shook her head and sounded horrible like an abandoned kitten.

The three girls shared a look among themselves, clearly worried as well after hearing that detail.

Chu Yun didn’t have a job, nor could be reached by the phone. No matter how optimistic they were before, this situation was growing abnormal.

Spirit sighed for a moment and said, “Sister Song, maybe we should call the police?”

Police?

Yes, call the police!

Song seemed to have grasped onto the last lifeline and immediately turned to her phone. But right as she’s about to dial the number, the singer suddenly recalled the detective from the national security agency.

“Hello Ms. Song, I’m Detective Fang Guofeng!”

“Agent Fang, I agree to your request!”

“Ms. Song, please believe us, we have no ill inte… What? Yo-You agree?!”

On the other end of the phone, Fang Guofeng thought he had heard things wrong.

For many days already, the chief detective had been hitting up the singer’s contacts from multiple angles. But no matter his persuasion or excuse, the lady just wouldn’t budge.

Privately, they also investigated Chu Yun and found that this person was the typical deadbeat that’s loafing around doing nothing. If not for the distinctive feature of being overly handsome and carrying a unique temperament, the agents from the security agency might not even be able to get a lead on the guy.

As to how unique though, well, according to eyewitness accounts, the guy only needs to stand there and he would make those around him feel a sense of calm. It’s an inherent aura making others feel good….

“I said yes, but I have one condition.” Song’s tone turned serious.

“Ms. Song, please say.”

“I want you to help me find my husband!” Song’s tone fluctuated and teetered on the edge of tears.

She really couldn’t hold back.

“Look for Mr. Chu Yun?”

Fang Guofeng was slightly stunned, and then vaguely understood the whole picture: “Rest assured, we will definitely find your husband. That is within our duty!”

Things are making sense for the chief. If Song’s husband went missing then it’s only obvious that she turns to the authorities for help, and who’s better than the National Security Bureau?

No wonder Chu Yun’s whereabouts are a mystery. Turns out he’s been missing for the entire month. This matter is getting more serious than I initially thought!

Hanging up the phone, Song quickly continued to dial more numbers. From the cultural exhibition halls in various cities, the biggest financial giants she knows, and all kinds of famous wineries….

These people have contacted Song more than once in the past month and expressed their interest in procuring the items in her possession. Naturally she refused their offers and claimed it’s a ruse, but now’s not the time to dwell on that fact. If she’s going to find her husband, utilizing everything within her means was a given.

Finally, as the last call, Song phoned up her manager Sister Li.

“Song, what’s wrong?” Sister Li also thought that someone had harassed Song again and sounded concerned.

Taking a deep breath, Song gathers her courage before speaking: “Sister Li, help me send a message to the press. Tell them everything from that livestream is real, it’s all true! Tomorrow, I will be conducting a new livestream with experts and professionals alike present!”

“Wauu… WHAT!!! Song, have you gone crazy?!” Sister Li’s felt her head spinning like she’s dreaming or something.

“I’m not crazy, help me send it now!” Song states this in no uncertain term.

The singer only wants her husband back. Even if the whole world burns in the crossfire as a result, this wife doesn’t care anymore. And the best way to figure our the whereabout now lies in the things left by Chu Yun. There must be a clue somewhere, and she’s going to seize it!

The other three girls stared wide-eyed as Song finished her last call. Although the three understood why their big sister did this, it didn’t change how wild this sensation would bring.

“It’s going to get lively here tomorrow, take this chance to go home. This is my fault, I will handle it myself.” Song turns to her friends and advises them to leave.

Music shakes her head and rejects the idea: “Go back? How can you of us like that?! I am an internet celebrity. I may not be as famous as you Song, but I’ve had my fair share of paparazzi’s. Besides, who is going to hold the camera? Just leave it to me, I will get the best angles using my experience!”

Spirit also chimes in: “That’s right Song, you can’t go at this alone. We are sisters, now and forever! If we are going to find your husband then we are going to do it together. I’m not going anywhere!”

Coco also nods in agreement: “I’m not leaving either. This is the perfect chance for us to learn more about Brother-in-law, how can you deprive us of this opportunity? Not to mention I suspect there are more secrets to be had here, hehe!”

……

Song’s company.

Sister Li crashed landed on her desk and sighed helplessly. The poor manager had always cleaned up the mess for Song in the past, but this incident was just downright painful.

What kind of crazies did Song catch this time? Omouuu, the network is going to explode tomorrow!
