547 A Mysterious Call
Ran Xueyi snapped out of her daze as she stared at the phone. The call had already been disconnected, but the words Alina had told her before it was cut off shouldn't be an illusion.
Facing her husband, Ran Xueyi no longer cared about the ruined living room or the hole they punched through the TV.
Although it had been a long time since she spoke with Alina after returning to Hua Country, she still received updates about major events that happened in Ren Country. Additionally, Alina's voice when she warned her and told her to run was too real.
Seeing her only staring at her phone and not ready to answer him, Song Yu Han took their son in his arms and walked towards their bedroom. He made the little boy take his clothes off, ran the water in the bathtub, before turning it off when the water was just at the right height and warmth. Then, he told Little Zhanzhan to stay there and wait for him.
Little Zhanzhan was spoiled by his parents, and hearing that he would be bathing with them made him extremely happy, so he didn't even notice the oddness in his mother's expression.
Not long after, Song Yu Han returned to the living room. He frowned in worry when Ran Xueyi still stood in the middle of it, unmoving and seeming way too distracted to even hear him walk to her.
"Something happened. What is it?" Song Yu Han asked.
Ran Xueyi's eyes contracted slightly at his sudden closeness before relaxing, knowing it was him who stood behind her. Turning to face him, Ran Xueyi presented her phone to him, letting him see the screen still displaying the number and the name registered under it.
"I don't know what happened to her. Yu Han, I'm scared that something bad will happen to her." Her shoulders slumped down as her head fell on his sturdy shoulder. "What should I do?"
Although he had never talked to this friend that Ran Xueyi had mentioned to him in the past and had only seen her from a moderate distance, Song Yu Han stayed in the mansion next to the mansion this person named Alina lived in, together with his wife and son.
So, he naturally had an impression of this woman called Alina. The background check he conducted on her also reported that she was not an ordinary woman.
Alina was a mafia heiress. Her family was not a simple mafia organization either. They ruled the Southern and Eastern part of Ren Country and had a strong influence in the mafia world within the country.
"Coming!" Ran Xueyi erased the last bit of worry and frustration from her face, and took a few breaths in and out to calm her palpitating heart.
She looked at Song Yu Han and said, "How do I look?"
Song Yu Han lifted his hands and wiped the tears staining her cheeks. "Beautiful."
Ran Xueyi obviously didn't want his personal commentary about her face. She furrowed her brows until Song Yu Han sighed.
"You don't look like someone who just cried." His attempt to make her smile failed.
Ran Xueyi finally nodded in satisfaction, turned around, and walked towards the bathroom.
Soon afterward, the sound of his wife and son playing inside the bathroom was transmitted inside his ears.
Unlike the calmness he showed to Ran Xueyi, as soon as her figure disappeared inside the bathroom, web-like cracks appeared on his calm face.
His eyes turned colder while his fist clenched tightly until the edges were painted white.
A full minute after, he reached into his pockets, retrieved his phone, and called Guo Yun.
"Get our men ready. Find someone for me and ensure their safety is secured."
To make his wife cry and worry so much, Song Yu Han hoped that whoever made this happen had several necks for them to wash as he wouldn't let them off so easily.
