Chapter 1843: Chapter 1840: Xia Yongxuan Escaped
She’s forced to rush back home now.
Running around in the middle of the night is truly exhausting!
When she got home, it was almost three in the morning.
Yang Li had truly been waiting eagerly.
It was such a relief to finally have Xia Weibao back; he almost dropped to his knees.
"Madam, ancestor, can we settle down a bit?"
"Running around in the middle of the night, if something happens, I’ll lose my head several times over when the master returns!"
Xia Weibao ignored him, having played all day and fought a battle, she was dead tired.
She returned to her room, took a shower, and then threw herself onto the bed, pulling the quilt over her head to sleep.
Though she was exhausted, her sleep was restless.
Sweat beaded densely on her forehead, her brows tightly furrowed, her head tossed restlessly.
Her breathing was somewhat labored, as if she had dreamt of something.
"Brother, brother, don’t, don’t..."
Suddenly she woke with a start.
She sat up abruptly, breathing unevenly as she surveyed her surroundings; the familiar setting eased her panicked heart slightly.
It was already daylight, Lu Hualiang hadn’t returned; no one had thoughtfully drawn the curtains for her.
Sunlight streamed through the window, somewhat glaring.
A gentle breeze lifted the corner of the curtain, peaceful and beautiful.
Yet her heart held a lingering fear.
This left her very troubled, she weakly rubbed her head, trying to calm her irregular heartbeat.
She knew she had definitely had a nightmare, but couldn’t recall what it was.
She glanced at the phone on the bedside table; there were five missed calls, three from Lu Hualiang, two from Xia Chuyan.
And two text messages.
Xia Weibao clicked open Lu Hualiang’s message, "What time did you go to bed last night."
It was a very brief line, yet she could sense his emotion, anger was evident.
She clicked open Xia Chuyan’s message.
"Fifth Sister, call me back when you see this message."
She thought about it and decided to call Xia Chuyan first.
Calling Lu Hualiang now would certainly mean being scolded, there was no rush for that.
The phone connected quickly, Xia Weibao said, "Second Sister, did you need me."
On the other end, Xia Chuyan heard the term "Second Sister" and was a bit in a daze.
Unable to come to her senses for a long time.
How long had it been since she last heard that title?
And used in such an affectionate tone.
Ever since plotting against Xia Weibao, she hadn’t been called "Second Sister" in that tone.
To hear it again now, it felt like a lifetime ago.
There was no response on the phone; Xia Weibao glanced at her phone to see it was connected, and called out again, "Second Sister?"
"Hmm." Xia Chuyan finally came to her senses.
"Did you need me for something?"
After making two calls and leaving a message, it must be urgent, right?
As Xia Weibao spoke, she filtered through all matters in her mind that might relate to her.
There shouldn’t be much connection between her and the Xia Family now, right?
"It’s about one thing, Xia Yongxuan has escaped, we don’t know where she went; I’m afraid she might do you harm, so just a heads-up."
Xia Weibao’s mouth hung slightly open, "Escaped?"
After Xia Yongxuan was diagnosed with AIDS, she was locked up in isolation for treatment.
Actually, everyone knew it was to keep her from causing trouble, so she was locked up.
Over the phone, Xia Chuyan’s tone carried some regret, "Yes, someone secretly delivered medicinal ingredients to her, she made a Knockout Drug herself, then knocked out the guards and escaped.
Her old subordinates helped her escape, we’re chasing her down, be careful, I’m worried..."
She didn’t voice the rest of it.
Xia Weibao understood, her eyes slowly narrowed.
