Chapter 939: In the Name of God
Ever since An Rao was found to be pregnant, her emotions had been unstable. It had been half a month since she last contacted Bo Xiao.
At night, An Rao slept very early after eating. Who would have thought that she would suddenly wake up in the middle of the night for no reason? She was flustered. An Rao got up and sat for a long time, but she still could not suppress the anxiety in her heart. Only then did she call Xia Wanyuan.
“Okay, I’ll ask him. I’ll call you back later.” Hearing An Rao’s cries, Xia Wanyuan woke up.
Xia Wanyuan had just hung up on An Rao when Jun Shiling’s phone rang. The vibration of the phone in the quiet night inexplicably made one’s heart ache.
Hearing his phone ring, Jun Shiling, who was hugging Xia Wanyuan, suddenly opened his eyes. He sat up and picked up the phone.
“Mm, I understand.” After a while, Jun Shiling only said these few words before hanging up.
From Jun Shiling’s instantly darkened expression, Xia Wanyuan suddenly had a bad guess. “What happened?”
“Bo Xiao is missing.” Jun Shiling frowned. He suddenly lifted the blanket and got out of bed with his phone. “I’m going to the study. Wait for me here. Don’t catch a cold.”
“Okay.” Xia Wanyuan had never seen Jun Shiling like this before, making her feel very uneasy.
Jun Shiling walked straight to the study and turned on his communicator. After a short connection, the communicator connected.
“How did Bo Xiao go missing?”
“We found signs of King’s activity in Ye City. Black Alligator from Continent M also appeared in Ye City. Bo went to investigate. During this period, he has been uncontactable. We have been sending people to search for him these few days, but we found Bo’s communication equipment in the Lecki Mountains.”
The signal was good and weak at times, and the voice on the other end came intermittently. “There are traces of wolves passing by the communication device, as well as thin bloodstains. Our preliminary judgment is that he had been sacrificed.”
Towards the end, the other party sounded choked up.
“Have you found the corpse?” Jun Shiling’s voice was calm.
“No.”
“Then continue searching.” Jun Shiling’s calm voice gave his subordinate, who had lost his backbone, a boost.
“Will he come back?” An Rao’s eyes were filled with tears. “I miss him so much.”
“He will.” Xia Wanyuan took a tissue and wiped the tears off An Rao’s face. “Can you go to sleep now? The baby needs to sleep too.”
“Okay.” An Rao nodded and touched her flat stomach. No matter what, she had to give birth to this child safely.
The strong wind that had howled for the entire night finally stopped. The street was filled with fallen leaves that had been swept by the wind and rain. It was a mess.
After calming An Rao down, Xia Wanyuan finally went downstairs. At the door, Jun Shiling’s car was still parked where it had been last night.
Xia Wanyuan glanced at the ground. There were no signs of the car leaving.
Xia Wanyuan got into the car and Jun Shiling handed her a glass of warm water. “I’m going to work. I’ll send you to school.”
Xia Wanyuan took the cup and went forward to hug Jun Shiling. She patted his back comfortingly. “I’m here.”
Jun Shiling hugged Xia Wanyuan back and hugged her tighter. “Mm.”
Time would not stop because of anyone or anything. Ordinary people still lived and had ordinary three meals a day, but in places that ordinary people could not reach, there was a huge shock.
“As expected.” In the cold laboratory, Yu Qian’s lips curled up when he saw the news sent by his subordinates. “That person is indeed related.”
“Yes, Zeus himself has disappeared for four years.” The subordinate carefully reported.
“Have you found that person?” Yu Qian took off his gloves.
“Not yet. Our people are also doing their best to find him. As soon as we find him, we’ll send him over immediately.”
“Continue to send more people.” Yu Qian walked out of the laboratory.
“Yes.”

Xia Wanyuan had suggested that An Rao stay in the manor, but An Rao had rejected her. Xia Wanyuan would visit An Rao every day after class. Because of Bo Xiao, Jun Shiling’s mood had not been very high recently, even though he had tried his best to hide it.
As the days approached New Year’s Day, the entire capital was filled with joy. There was already a very obvious festive atmosphere on the streets and alleys.
