lding. Very quickly, he discovered that there was only one heartbeat within this tallest unfinished building—obviously, this person was who Xia Tian had come here to find.Xia Tian darted into a room a...Chapter 973: Zhao Yujie's Disappearance - Wuyou Chinese Network

Jiao Xiaoqiao was taken aback. She couldn’t help but doubt whether this person wasn't actually the Secretary of Muyang County, yet in reality, she knew it couldn't be otherwise as she had previously seen Zhao Mingchao and knew that he was indeed the newly transferred Secretary of Muyang County from another place. However, no matter how hard she tried to think about it, she just couldn’t figure out why this new county secretary would treat her husband so politely

Jiao Feng'er and Jiao Huang'er also found this strange. When Secretary Zhao came in alone earlier, he had been quite polite towards them as well. At the time, they thought that perhaps he was giving face to Miss Jiao because of her unusual status, but now it seemed that his politeness towards Xia Tian was a bit excessive. Perhaps his previous courtesy toward them was purely due to Xia Tian.

"I don’t seem to know you" Xia Tian sounded somewhat perplexed.

"Mr. Xia, although I am not a direct descendant of the Zhao family in Jing City, I am still considered part of the Zhao family there."

Zhao Mingchao spoke respectfully: "Originally, Eldest Master asked me not to seek you out, but an unexpected incident occurred, forcing me to disobey his command and come here for your help."

"Oh, so you were sent by the Zhao family," Xia Tian finally understood and then looked at Zhao Mingchao somewhat displeased. "Hey, the Eldest Master you mentioned is Zhao Gongzi, right Did he send you here to cause trouble for me"

"Mr. Xia, it's a misunderstanding." At this moment, Zhao Mingchao’s tone was even more polite. "Eldest Master sent me here out of concern that you might think so. In reality, Eldest Master wants to help you; he only became aware of the anomaly on this side by chance when noticing a lot of activity from the Song and Yuan families. Yuan Langguang from the Yuan family has become the secretary of Pinghai Province, while Song Jinping from the Song family is here serving as governor. They even wanted to place someone else here as the county secretary, which Eldest Master found rather suspicious and thus blocked their move by sending me here to investigate."

"Is Zhao Gongzi really that kind-hearted" Xia Tian was somewhat skeptical; although he had only met Zhao Gongzi once in person, Zhao Gongzi definitely wasn't someone good in his memory. Back then, not only did Zhao Gongzi want to kill him but also wanted to murder his pretty blonde wife Mu Han, and later on almost killed his wife Wei’er as well. If it weren’t for the fact that he was too busy saving people at the time, Xia Tian would have sought out Zhao Gongzi long ago to settle old scores.

Zhao Mingchao looked somewhat embarrassed and did not know how to respond. He was not a direct descendant in the Zhao family, although he was considered quite accomplished and important among the collateral relatives. However, he wasn't fully informed about some internal affairs of the Zhao family; everything he did was merely following orders.

"Hey, you just said there's an important matter to discuss with me. So what is it" Xia Tian asked again at this moment: "Are you planning to sell Qingfeng Mountain to me Oh, since you say you're here to help me, then quickly sell Qingfeng Mountain to me."

"Mr. Xia, don't worry about the matter regarding Qingfeng Mountain. I will find a way to get the county party committee members to agree to sign a contract with Miss Qiao. Moreover, Yuan Shicai from the Yuan family has already left, so there should be no problems." Zhao Mingchao hurriedly said and glanced at Qiao Xiaojiao beside him. After hesitating for a moment, he finally brought up what he considered most urgent: "The eldest miss is missing."

"Eldest miss" Xia Tian was initially taken aback but quickly regained his senses, "You mean my wife the great demoness is missing That can't be right. I saw her last night; she wasn't living in a villa outside of town"

Zhao Mingchao nodded: "Mr. Xia, I talked to the Young Miss on the phone last night while she was still at the villa. But this morning, when the nanny I hired for her went to the villa, she didn't see her there. At first, I thought she might have gone out with you for shopping. However, by noon, the nanny told me that she hadn't returned yet. So I tried calling her, but it was not connected. Afterward, I attempted to reach her multiple times without success. I am starting to worry something might have happened to her because this time she went out alone and even the Young Master didn’t know about it. The Young Miss told me that she wanted some space and asked me not to inform the Young Master of this matter. Therefore, I came to ask for your help."

"Is it possible my wife is upset with me because I wasn't there to accompany her" Xia Tian muttered to himself as he dialed Zhao Yujie's number on his phone, only to find out that the call didn’t go through.

"Mr. Xia, what should we do now Do you know where else the Young Miss might have gone" Zhao Mingchao appeared quite anxious; if something happened to Zhao Yujie while she was here, he would definitely not be able to give an account of his actions.

"Don't worry, I'll find her." Xia Tian replied casually and then looked at Qiao Xiaoqiao. "Wife, I need to go look for someone now. Once I find my wife the Big Demoness, I’ll come back."

The Summer heat vanished without warning, disappearing from everyone's sight as soon as the words were spoken.

For Summer, finding a familiar person wasn't particularly difficult. Many times, his extraordinary sense of smell was enough to lead him straight to them, provided that they hadn't been gone for too long and their scent still lingered in the air. After all, not everyone had as strong a fragrance as Sun Xinxin's. Zhao Yujie’s scent, though familiar to Summer, would likely have left very little trace in the air.

Summer rushed to the villa where Zhao Yujie was temporarily staying and searched around inside for a while. The villa indeed had plenty of her lingering fragrance, but clearly, she wasn't there at present.

After spending several minutes within the villa, Summer came out again, trying to track Zhao Yujie's scent in the air, only to soon realize that it was probably due to the strong winter winds that made it hard to find any trace of her scent left behind.

The summer season didn't give up that easily; he sprinted in different directions for quite a long distance. Eventually, after nearly half an hour, he managed to pick up the lingering fragrance of Zhao Yujie in the air. Following this faint and elusive scent, he ran forward rapidly. Gradually, the trace of fragrance seemed to stabilize and become slightly more intense. At this point, Summer realized that he had entered a mountainous area.

"Can it be My wife, the Great Succubus, has run into Green Peak Mountain" Summer halted his steps, hesitating for a moment. Should he continue on or not

As he got closer and closer to Fairy Sister, Summer seemed hesitant to proceed further because he wasn't sure if he could resist seeking out Fairy Sister once he reached the foot of Green Peak Mountain. Di. Only then could she genuinely help Xia Tian, ensuring they would have a relatively peaceful life in the future; otherwise, troubles would never cease.Although Mu Han knew that Xia Tian was very c...
