Chapter 705 - 708: Go
Chapter 705: Chapter 708: Go Xia Xiao knew that Xiao Shanyue had disappeared and was extremely anxious, "Brother Gao, I want to make a trip there."
At this moment, Xia Xiao truly wanted to help Shitou look for Xiao Shanyue. After all, her abilities were somewhat more useful, and they still didn’t know the purpose behind those people abducting Xiao Shanyue.
Xia Xiao also feared that Shitou and Xiao Shu were being targeted and wanted to go help them out.
Gao Jiaxing said, "You don’t need to go there; Feiyue and Li Long are already there."
Xia Xiao couldn’t mention the matter about her special abilities, so she could only say, "I’m not going there to cause trouble, I just want to check on Shitou and Xiao Shu, I’m really worried about them. I might as well see how Feiyue and Ye Jia are doing overseas. I’m worried they always report good news but not the bad."
Gao Jiaxing couldn’t travel abroad, but Xia Xiao still could, and once she expressed herself, Gao Jiaxing didn’t oppose her anymore.
He only said, "Perhaps you should wait a bit longer before going."
"I can’t put my mind at ease." As she said this, Xia Xiao sighed, "It’s just unfortunate that Brother Gao can’t travel abroad."
Xia Xiao reached out to hug Gao Jiaxing, "Brother Gao, take care of yourself at home. I’ll go check on my son, daughter-in-law, and grandson; I won’t stay too long."
"Ah, I don’t know whether agreeing to let you go at this time is right or wrong." Logically speaking, Gao Jiaxing naturally didn’t want Xia Xiao to travel abroad at this time, but he couldn’t refuse Xia Xiao.
With Gao Jiaxing’s consent, Xia Xiao soon traveled abroad.
Here, Shitou was feeling somewhat defeated because they simply couldn’t track down Xiao Shanyue’s whereabouts.
Over at Feiyue’s side, even the embassy was contacting the local police for help, but they had found nothing; Xiao Shanyue seemed to have vanished, and they didn’t know where she had been taken.
Xi Shanyue’s mother had people searching after her daughter’s disappearance, but it was to no avail.
Dr. Xi and Assistant Qian were even less helpful than Lady Che. Shitou couldn’t expect any more from Xi Shanyue’s parents in this situation, and then Xia Xiao arrived.
"Grandma, why have you come at this time?" Shitou was surprised by Xia Xiao’s arrival.
Xiao Shu was too, "Grandma, did grandpa agree to let you come?"
Xia Xiao smiled, "I’m worried about you."
"Grandma, have you seen my dad and mom?" Xiao Shu asked.
"Not yet, I came directly to find you guys after I landed." Xia Xiao didn’t visit the embassy and headed straight to their school upon leaving the airport.
At this point, Xia Xiao asked Shitou and Xiao Shu, "How is the investigation on Xiao Shanyue’s case going?"
Shitou replied, "They are very cunning. We lose their trail at sea."
Xiao Shu also frowned, "We don’t know what those people want. We haven’t received any calls here and the police haven’t found any information either."
Shitou and Xiao Shu shook their heads at the mention of using a helicopter in the search, "That sea area is peculiar; even satellite surveillance hasn’t picked up anything."
"Did you check Xiao Shanyue’s classmates to see who she was in contact with at the university? It might lead us to whether they came for Xiao Shanyue deliberately."
"We’ve checked all that; nothing suspicious." Shitou shook his head.
Xiao Shu said, "Shanyue’s parents haven’t got any vital information either."
"This organization is no ordinary one." Xia Xiao’s expression turned solemn. A pretty girl kidnapped, and it involves a mysterious organization; that indeed spelled trouble.
"Did you check out the ship king’s family?" Xia Xiao, understanding the predicament involving Xiao Shanyue and Lady Che, inquired further.
"We’ve checked; nothing unusual so far, but we’re keeping an eye on them."
As Shitou spoke, Xia Xiao then inquired about the Desire Alliance. Shitou and Xiao Shu faced difficulties there as well.
The Desire Alliance was not easy to investigate, and though Shitou and Xiao Shu had hacked into the Desire Alliance’s system a few times, risking almost getting caught, they couldn’t find any useful information.
"We’ll have to investigate organization by organization." And those organizations might be spread across the world, headquartered and branched out, big and small; searching would indeed be no easy task.
Xia Xiao uttered a deep sigh, unsure if Xiao Shanyue could wait that long, and just hoped that Xiao Shanyue had not been mistreated.
"Xiao Shu, make more visits to the embassy and the police. Shitou will keep looking into those organizations’ activities," Xia Xiao said.
Xiao Shu and Shitou nodded their heads.
After Xiao Shu left, Xia Xiao then said, "It’s not easy to find people this time."
Shitou solemnly nodded, admitting even if Xiao Shanyue was with the Desire Alliance, but with the Alliance being so expansive, it was not an easy search.
And with small islands scattered around the world, some secret bases, and other hidden places, finding a person would be difficult.
Shitou’s fingers quickly typed on the keyboard,
"We’ll go see the Desire Alliance," Xia Xiao suggested.
Shitou replied, "Grandma, let me check first; we can’t just search aimlessly like this."
It’s hard enough finding someone, let alone knowing how vast the world is and where Xiao Shanyue might be hidden.
As Shitou thought about why those people had taken her, he felt suffocated and somewhat guilty. He had genuinely wanted to take good care of everyone, yet he hadn’t been cautious enough and had overlooked Xiao Shanyue.
Though reborn, Shitou was not overly arrogant but was confident.
However, Xiao Shanyue’s situation dealt Shitou a harsh blow; he was still not strong enough and was too slow and weak.
Even though Shitou made quite a few contacts at university, in dealing with some organizational matters, useful contacts were far too few.
Now with Xiao Shanyue missing, Shitou felt a significant crisis looming. He was about to graduate, holding multiple doctoral degrees.
In academics, Shitou had undoubtedly achieved great success.
But in terms of power, Shitou was weak.
He had been engrossed in his studies, neglecting to build his influence abroad, which was why he found himself in dire need of help.
Xia Xiao looked at Shitou’s pained expression and said, "Don’t blame yourself. We will definitely find Xiao Shanyue."
