Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 1019 - 1018: Missed

"Boss, there’s a man outside around his fifties asking to see you. I haven’t seen him before, but he looks a lot like the housekeeper from Tangtang’s family."

Xu Ke paused his actions for a few seconds. The housekeeper from Tangtang’s family coming to see him, what could it be about? Could it be that he’s heard some rumors?

The Huyan family’s information network is indeed quite well-informed.

The assistant saw that Xu Ke didn’t seem intent on speaking. Could it be that he was interrupting the boss’s thoughts at this time? "Boss, if you don’t want to see him, I can have someone send him away."

After a while, Xu Ke raised his hand, signaling the assistant to leave first. Since the housekeeper from the Huyan family had come to find him, it indicated that Tangtang and Guoguo hadn’t returned home.

Otherwise, at this time, why would the Huyan family’s housekeeper be outside his villa?

Thinking this, Xu Ke figured, it seems he has to meet with this housekeeper.

After a long wait, the assistant came to the door to tell Housekeeper Wu to wait a bit longer, as their boss was dealing with something.

Housekeeper Wu was also a smart person. He knew that coming here like this was quite inappropriate. If his own master found out, who knows how he would hold him accountable.

But in order to find Tangtang and Guoguo, he was willing to do anything, let alone come here to inquire about the situation.

Housekeeper Wu waited anxiously at the villa. This was the first time in his life he had done something like this. He couldn’t help but feel grateful for his master’s kindness.

Suddenly, the villa’s door opened. Through the intercom, Xu Ke leisurely said to let Housekeeper Wu come in. It seemed his trip today wasn’t in vain. If he really could find out anything, he’d be satisfied.

Inside the Xu family’s large villa.

The servants were neatly dressed, each looking as if they were deliberately trained. At first glance, it really seemed that way.

In the lavish living room, only Xu Ke was seated.

It was rumored that Young Master Xu was efficient in his actions and quite handsome. Seeing him today, the rumors were indeed true. His aura alone was enough to inspire fear in many.

Housekeeper Wu, too, felt this way. Although in terms of age, Young Master Xu should call him uncle, given the current situation, he didn’t dare to hope for too much.

Master Huyan once told him that in the entire Jiang City, aside from the Huyan family, the Xu family held the highest status.

It was said that Old Master Xu’s health had never been good.

Ever since having Young Master Xu, he was sent to the military from a young age, and since then, there had been no news of him.

It wasn’t until in recent years that it was heard Young Master Xu was injured in the military and sent back. But seeing him today, Young Master Xu didn’t seem like a person who had been injured. Could it be that everything was a ruse?

Housekeeper Wu was puzzled, but he still maintained the proper etiquette, remaining silent until the house’s owner spoke.

Xu Ke knew that Housekeeper Wu stood not far from him. Presumably, the Huyan family’s housekeeper wasn’t an ordinary person either, so he should receive him politely. Otherwise, if Tangtang and Guoguo blamed him later, he couldn’t bear that responsibility.

"Someone, serve Uncle Wu some tea." With that, Xu Ke turned around.

Young Master Xu truly wasn’t an ordinary person. His appearance alone proved he had certain capabilities. Otherwise, in just a year, he had already established the Xu family in all of Jiang City. It was evident he had a certain ability to handle affairs.

"No need, Young Master Xu, I’ve come today just to ask about Tangtang and Guoguo, nothing else. I hope you won’t take any offense." Housekeeper Wu’s every move showed a demeanor befitting a gentleman, quite unlike that of a housekeeper.

"Uncle Wu, what are you saying? Since you’re here, have a cup of tea before you go. No need to be so hurried."

Xu Ke informed Housekeeper Wu that he was also searching everywhere for Tangtang and Guoguo, but so far, there were no clues.

Housekeeper Wu knew Xu Ke had no reason to lie to him, so he believed what he said was true.

Yet, Jiang City was only so big. Where could Tangtang and Guoguo possibly have gone?

"Uncle Wu, you don’t need to worry too much. I remember when they were young, Tangtang and Guoguo were so clever and would surely take care of themselves," Xu Ke said earnestly.

His words were meant to comfort Housekeeper Wu, with no other intention. However, he knew Tangtang and Guoguo were not safe now.

People from Suzhou had their eyes on them. If he didn’t find them soon, the situation might develop beyond his control.

"I’m just worried. Usually, Tangtang and Guoguo are obedient, so why are they so unruly this time?"

Housekeeper Wu spoke earnestly, only thinking about his master. After all, his master had only Tangtang and Guoguo, and they were the apple of his eyes.

Xu Ke assured Housekeeper Wu that if there was news about Tangtang and Guoguo, he would inform him immediately. Housekeeper Wu, after hearing this, had no choice but to return home, knowing the Xu family was not a place where he should linger.

At this moment, Jiang City was unusually quiet at night. However, people were still coming and going on the streets.

These people were probably out for a stroll. Housekeeper Wu wished that he could see the silhouettes of Tangtang and Guoguo among the crowd.

"Sis, it’s so late, why are there so many people on the street?" Guoguo said cheerily.

"I don’t know. Maybe everyone wanted to go for a walk after dinner," Tangtang casually replied. She actually didn’t know why there were so many people on the street either.

The two sisters wandered the streets for a while before deciding to leave.

After all, staying here wasn’t safe. Just thinking about the people they encountered earlier in the outskirts made Tangtang’s heart skip a beat. Guoguo didn’t seem to have any special reaction.

Perhaps she had seen such scenes many times before.

Suddenly, the previously cheerful Guoguo stopped talking, staring straight ahead as if there was something captivating there. "What are you looking at, Guoguo?"

"Sis, look at that car. Isn’t it ours?"

Tangtang followed Guoguo’s gesture, and sure enough, wasn’t that Housekeeper Wu inside the car?

Guoguo checked her phone. It was 11:03 PM. At this time, shouldn’t Housekeeper Wu already be resting? Why was he at this place?

Could something have happened at home? Previously, Housekeeper Wu only went out on tasks when something serious happened.
