Chapter 24 - Mother Mi Went Missing

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Mi Xiaomi called her mother’s mahjong friends and all of them told her that they hadn’t seen her in the afternoon.

She got the help of some of the people she knew and went to look for her mother, but she was nowhere to be found. She couldn’t help but call the police.

But she was unable to make a report as her mom was an adult that had not disappeared for more than 24 hours, so the police got her to go home and wait.

Mi Xiaomi was so anxious that she didn’t know what to do. Her eyes lit up when she felt the name card that Ye Xiao gave her.

Since Ye Xiao was such an important figure in Jiang City, he should be able to mobilize different forces to find someone, right?

In order to find her mother as soon as possible, she did not want to care too much and called the number on the name card.

He picked up instantly.

Mi Xiaomi became nervous.

“Hello?”

Ye Xiao’s deep voice came through the phone.

Mi Xiaomi’s heart tightened again. She stuttered, “I… I’m…”

“That pregnant woman?”

Unexpectedly, Ye Xiao recognized her voice. It made her heart jump nervously again.

In fact, when Ye Xiao heard Mi Xiaomi’s voice on the other end of the line, he was also nervous for some reason. But he pretended not to care and asked hoarsely, “What’s the matter? You want me to help your husband find a job that can keep you company?”

“…”

Mi Xiaomi started to sweat. “No… no, I want to trouble you to do something else for me. I don’t know if you’re willing to.”

“Speak!”

“My mom’s missing. Her phone’s off, and she’s missing from wherever she usually goes. I can’t find her anywhere, but she hasn’t been missing for more than twenty-four hours, and the police aren’t willing to file a report. I’m really worried…”

Before Mi Xiaomi could finish, Ye Xiao said, “Give me your mom’s picture, ID number. As long as she’s still in Jiang City or nearby, I’ll be able to find her, even if I have to dig three feet into the ground.”

“Thank you.”

Mi Xiaomi was grateful.

“Then add me and send me your mother’s photo and information based on my phone number through WeChat.”

Ye Xiao said.

“Okay.”

Mi Xiaomi quickly searched for his WeChat number. His WeChat name was Xiao, and his avatar was an eagle.

There was no bio.

She sent a friend request.

It was quickly approved.

She didn’t have the time to study the posts on Ye Xiao’s WeChat Moments. She quickly sent him her mom’s photo and ID number.

Ye Xiao quickly dispersed the message.

Soon, the entire Jiang City was searching for her.

“Don’t be anxious. If I can’t find her, then no one can. As long as she is in Jiang City, there will definitely be news within 20 minutes.”

Ye Xiao sent a voice message to Mi Xiaomi saying,

“Thank you.”

With his words, Mi Xiaomi felt much more at ease.

She knew that it was useless for her to be anxious now, so she scrolled through Ye Xiao’s posts.

However, she discovered that it was just a horizontal line.

There were two possible scenarios when a line appeared on her WeChat moments. The first was that the other party didn’t post anything on their WeChat moments, and the second was that she was blocked by the other party and couldn’t see their posts.

At the same time, Ye Xiao was studying her WeChat too.

Her WeChat username was “Rice Worm”, and her profile picture was also a cartoon rice worm, looking extremely cute.

The signature was: “Waiting for food and lying flat, waiting for death. I am just a useless worm.”

This woman was too much!

Ye Xiao was speechless. He scrolled through her Moments.

Her WeChat Moments that could be seen were from the most recent three days.

There was nothing much on her WeChat Moments. It was just pictures of flowers and plants—— things that were cute. She did not add any captions and she felt quite lazy.

Ye Xiao opened Mi Xiaomi’s chat. He wanted to ask her name and surname several times, but he didn’t send it eventually.

He did not understand why he was curious about her name.

She was not anyone to him. Why did it matter what her name was?

He could just call her rice worm or useless worm.

That’s right, a useless worm!

This was the best way to address her, Haha!

When he thought of this, the corners of his lips couldn’t help but curl into a smile. His secretary, Liang Shi, who just came in, saw it.

Liang Shi was shocked!

She had been with Ye Xiao for two years and thought that he was a person that did not smile!

Now, he was actually smiling so ‘sweetly’ on his phone?

Was he in love?
