Xue's cousin was stunned by Phoebe Conrad's words and remained silent for a long while. After a moment of thought, Phoebe Conrad approached him."Where's the letter? I need to see if it's real or fake. If it is genuine, I promise you, I will send someone personally to Dadian to find Xue Caini. Even if we have to turn that city upside down, we will bring her back."Xue's cousin wavered slightly. "It's... at my uncle's place.""Alright then. Bring the letter here in a bit, let me take a look, and I'll immediately dispatch someone to Dadian."Phoebe Conrad wanted to clear things up for herself and also made a promise to him. However, Xue's cousin still had some doubts."How can I trust you?"Phoebe Conrad pointed to the ground beneath them, speaking slowly and clearly, "This is the Ji family's territory."After a few seconds of hesitation, Xue's cousin suddenly got up from his chair. "Fine, you wait here."As he left, Phoebe Conrad let out a sigh of relief, but her heart began to

The person who answered the phone was not Mrs. Vaughan, but Aunt Zhang."Master, Madam is soothing Little Bao, I'll put her on right away.""And where's Phoebe Conrad?""Madam has gone out.""Gone out?"Lambert Vaughan glanced at the time; it was almost one o'clock.A brief silence followed, then the sound of Little Bao crying came through the phone: "Mommy, want... Mommy...""Mommy will be back soon, and she'll come to play with Little Bao, okay? Be a good boy."Hearing the old lady patiently comforting her grandson, Lambert Vaughan felt a pang in his heart.After a long pause, he heard the old lady say, "I don't know what's wrong with this child; he's been crying ever since dinner.""Aunt Zhang said Phoebe Conrad went out. It's the middle of the night, where could she be going?"Lambert Vaughan's tone clearly indicated his displeasure.On the other end, Mrs. Vaughan sighed."During dinner, there was a call in the living room. I heard Old Liu say it was Assistant Ke. They

"Based on our comparison, the owner of the hair is from China."In the department, an old doctor with gray eyes and white hair stated with great certainty.He handed the report to Lambert Vaughan.Seeing the photo, name, and address on it, Lambert Vaughan let out a long breath.It was indeed her!Returning from the hospital, he went to the basement level -3 once again.As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he saw a garbage truck parked at the entrance. He quickly walked over and saw an elderly man in sanitation worker's uniform, sweeping the floor inside a lit room."Aren't you one of the staff here?"Lambert Vaughan stood at the door, hands in his pockets, his face cold but with a complex mix of emotions.The other man slowly turned around, glanced at him, and continued sweeping without a word.Ignoring the dust, Lambert Vaughan stepped inside.The elderly man had already propped up a worn-out mattress to the side, and the floor was covered with a thick layer of garbag

As the two were still in doubt, a nurse entered and then came out, seemingly looking for something. Upon seeing the elderly lady and Aunt Zhang, she greeted them with a smile: "Mrs. Vaughan, are you here to visit Mrs. Vaughan?""Uh, how is my daughter-in-law doing?" Mrs. Vaughan inquired anxiously as she approached.The nurse glanced at the intensive care unit and, still smiling, replied: "Don't worry, Mrs. Vaughan. Dr. Chen has brought in an expert specifically to treat Mrs. Vaughan's injuries."Hearing this, the elderly lady finally let out a sigh of relief. The nurse led them to the waiting room, where they had just sat down on the sofa when they noticed a glass of water on the coffee table. "Was someone here just now?" The elderly lady, being very observant, quickly noticed this detail. While the nurse was fetching some water, she quickly took away the glass and explained: "It was a man who claimed to be a friend of Mrs. Vaughan. When you arrived, I was looking for him, but he l

The driver dropped them off at the Golden A Citypartments and left.Xue Caini stood below the apartment building, looking around, before finally tilting her head to look up.Jiang Lai watched her intently, a lump forming in her throat.She noticed the complex emotions in Xue Caini's eyes, but couldn't quite place what they were."Let's go upstairs first."After a while, she managed to speak, despite the pain in her heart.Xue Caini withdrew her gaze, looked at her, and nodded firmly.They entered the elevator one after the other and went into the apartment.The place had an odd smell, having been unoccupied for nearly a week.Jiang Lai turned on the lights and quickly opened the windows to let some fresh air in.Xue Caini had already gone to sit on the living room sofa and removed the fisherman's hat from her head.Her once long hair was now cut short, just above her ears, and her face was gaunt and bony."Tell me, what have you been up to these past six months?"Jiang Lai
