She can only be mine

The next day, went out early in the morning. Xiao Hui also went to the temple to pray.

Grandma Xia's body was not strong enough, so she did not travel with Xiao Hui and stayed at home alone.

Thinking of helping Tang Shaofeng clean the room, she pushed open the door of the big bedroom with the cleaning tools.

The strong smell of cigarettes and alcohol in the room made the old man feel sorrowful and mixed emotions.

She knew that Tang Shaofeng was in a bad mood, but if he continued to use this kind of terrible method to resolve his worries, his opponent's body would eventually collapse.

However, she had tried to persuade him several times, but to no avail, so she shook her head, her eyes filled with helplessness and regret.

Facing the room full of cans and cigarette butts, Grandma Xia bent down and started to clean the room meticulously.

Unconsciously, she saw Xia Wan's smiling face which was like a flower on the bedside table. Her nose turned sour, and she had the urge to cry.

"Child, if you're still alive, you must take care of yourself and return safely …" Staring at the photo, Grandma Xia prayed like she was dreaming, tears rolling down her cheeks. She felt like she was suffocated.

As Xia Wan was missing, her family was in a deathly stillness. While worrying about her safety, she also encouraged Tang Shaofeng to continue persevering.

Actually, she knew that Xia Wan might already be dead in her heart, but she didn't want her to fall down.

As Xia Wan's biological grandmother, how could Grandma Xia not feel heartache when something had happened to her granddaughter?

However, she knew that regardless of whether or not Xia Wan was still alive, she did not want to see her fall into depression.

Therefore, she had to hold on and become Tang Shaofeng's strongest mental support.

Wiping away the tears from the corner of his eyes, Grandma Xia picked up the cigarette butt on the floor, turned around and was about to throw it into the dustbin.

However, it was unknown whether it was because she had been worrying too much and had eaten too little, or because her movements were too quick and violent when she stood up, causing her vision to darken and she felt dizzy.

After staggering back a few steps, Grandma Xia was finally unable to stand steadily, and her entire body was thrown backwards.

A second before she closed her eyes, the world was still upside down in her eyes.

It was almost lunchtime when Xiao Hui returned to her dwelling. She had just discovered the unconscious Grandma Xia.

She, who had been scared witless, hurriedly contacted Tang Shaofeng.

Half an hour later, Tang Shaofeng hurried back to the hospital, while the Grandma Xia was already in the midst of transferring blood, Xiao Hui standing guard by the side.

Staring at the old man's pale face, he frowned with a pained expression. A strong sense of guilt welled up in his heart.

"Mom, is Grandma okay?" Frowning, Tang Shaofeng said with a serious tone.

Shaking his head, Xiao Hui replied with red eyes: "Nothing serious, I was probably thinking about what Xia Wan said, I was too anxious. The doctor has urged you to take good care of yourself and relax your mind. "

Hearing this, Tang Shaofeng let out a light breath, the pressure just now lessened by quite a bit.

The Grandma Xia was Xia Wan's close relative, if there was something good about the old man, he really didn't know how he would explain it once Xia Wan returned.

"Son, don't just worry about the old lady. Your face isn't good either, your eyes are bloodshot. I beg of you, can you go home and rest for a day? Finding people is useless even if you are anxious. " After hesitating for a long time, Xiao Hui finally spoke out the thoughts that she had been holding in for a few days.

Seeing that Tang Shaofeng had lost at least a circle, how could a mother not feel sorry for him?

Originally, Xiao Hui didn't plan to speak, but Grandma Xia suddenly fainted and sounded the alarm bell for her.

It was already an unchangeable fact that Xia Wan had met with calamity. If other people fell one after the other, that would only add insult to injury on this family.

"Alright." With a warm look in his eyes, he looked back at Xiao Hui and for once, Tang Shaofeng agreed.

"Be good, mom will stay here and take care of grandma. Go back, I'll call you when the old man wakes up." He never thought that Tang Shaofeng would be so straightforward. Xiao Hui spoke extremely quickly, afraid that the other party would go back on his words.

Nodding his head, Tang Shaofeng obediently left the ward. He was no longer as stubborn and desperate as he was before.

However, the reason he was willing to agree to Xiao Hui's conditions was not because he approved of the principle of "anxious and useless".

He recalled that before Grandma Xia fell ill, he had ignored all of his repeated attempts to persuade him. He believed that Grandma Xia's sudden illness was related to him, and thus did not dare to be willful anymore.

Returning back to his dwelling, the moment Tang Shaofeng opened the car door, he noticed an uninvited guest standing at the entrance.

He frowned, he did not understand why Gao Jian would come here, and froze in place with a perplexed look.

Seeing Tang Shaofeng's figure, a layer of anger surfaced on Gao Jian's gloomy face.

Without hiding his worry for Xia Wan, he walked over to her and grabbed his collar, "Tang Shaofeng! Do you remember what you told me before? Is that how you keep your promise? "

Frowning, Tang Shaofeng lowered his eyes in frustration, he did not have the courage to respond.

Seeing that, Gao Jian laughed, "Speak! Are you dumb? "

With a dull expression, Tang Shaofeng remained silent.

If it was any other time, he would not have tolerated Gao Jian's provocation. But now, he was truly powerless to face Gao Jian's questioning.

Because he had indeed not done well. He was not able to protect Xia Wan and he was also unable to keep the promise he had made back then.

Seeing that Tang Shaofeng had turned his face aside and was too lazy to bother with him, Gao Jian became even angrier, and his chest also started to rise.

On the surface, it seemed that Tang Shaofeng's attitude was a bit more carefree.

However, how would Gao Jian know that? This was the first time in Tang Shaofeng's history that he was displaying a lack of confidence.

Although the two of them were rivals in love, Tang Shaofeng always remembered that he caused Xia Wan to run away from home.

Now, Xia Wan had disappeared right under his nose once again, and his life was very likely to be in danger. How could he have the courage to taunt in front of his benefactor?

's gaze was firmly locked on Tang Shaofeng's lips, his eyes filled with the light of swords and sabers.

Time seemed to stop, and the surrounding air also seemed to freeze at this moment. The atmosphere became increasingly tense.

Originally, Gao Jian didn't have the qualifications to find Tang Shaofeng to interrogate him about his crimes. He told him to trust Xia Wan's judgement, but he really couldn't restrain the fury in his heart.

In the end, he let the impulse come to him and got a contemptuous silence.

When he got tired of waiting, Gao Jian swung his fist and struck Tang Shaofeng on the face.

There was no surprise, no anger, Tang Shaofeng's reaction was extremely indifferent, and even a little numb.

He took a few steps back and didn't even frown. His eyes were glazed as he maintained his original standing position.

"Tang Shaofeng! I really look down on you! "

Hearing that, Tang Shaofeng pursed his lips, his face raised up with an extremely bitter smile, but he still did not speak.

's eyes were filled with contempt, he felt that the one standing in front of him, was not the man who had planned everything, but rather, was a pile of mud covered by a leather bag.

"Men, all things have to be shouldered, and when frustrated, they have to straighten their backs! Tang Shaofeng, didn't you say that you are the only one who can make Xia Wan happy?! "

He still remembered back then when Gao Jian mustered up the courage to declare war on Tang Shaofeng, wanting to compete for Xia Wan, but he lost before fighting.

At that time, he did not understand how he was stunned by Tang Shaofeng's solemn tone. It was only a few days ago that he understood how much confidence and confidence that kind of arrogance would require.

Because of that, it was only natural and proper for him to be unable to defeat Tang Shaofeng.

But now, Tang Shaofeng had made him feel extremely disappointed.

Even if he came in full fury, blaming Tang Shaofeng for not being able to protect Xia Wan, as long as Tang Shaofeng could respond to him in the same way as last time, he was willing to convince himself that no matter what happened before his eyes, Tang Shaofeng still had the ability to make Xia Wan happy.

"Since that's the case, Tang Shaofeng, you better listen up!" The resolute Gao Jian, perhaps because he felt that there was no point in arguing with Tang Shaofeng anymore, stopped humiliating and cursing, or maybe he was just fighting.

After all, he would never be able to wake up the lion that pretended to be asleep. Furthermore, he no longer thought that Tang Shaofeng was the most suitable person for him.

After pausing for a moment, he emphasized: "If I am fortunate enough to find Xia Wan again, I will definitely not hand her over to you, definitely not!"

With that, Gao Jian's figure turned and resolutely left, leaving behind only Tang Shaofeng who was standing in the wind and thinking.

After a long while, he slowly raised his head, and his grey eyes gradually regained their original luster.

It was useless to be beaten up by Gao Jian. The only thing that made him feel threatened was the other party's last sentence.

Therefore, Tang Shaofeng had finally woken up as if he had just awoken from a dream: Regardless of whether it was in this life or the next, Xia Wan could only be his.

He could not continue to be depressed. He silently said to himself in his heart: If even he denies the existence of hope, then who else can give him hope? Therefore, Xia Wan will definitely be fine, they will definitely meet again!

"Sorry Gao Jian, this time, I will not retreat." Even though he had said those words to the direction that Gao Jian had left in, Tang Shaofeng's eyes were still filled with gratitude.

After taking a nap of two hours, the phone that Tang Shaofeng had placed beside his pillow rang.

Thinking that it was Xiao Hui, he lazily lifted his eyelids, obviously having rested enough. "Mom, is Grandma awake?"

"Mr. Tang, it's Officer Chen."

After sitting up, Tang Shaofeng's mind immediately cleared up, "Officer Chen, is there any news of my wife?"

"Yes. Although we haven't been able to find any trace of your wife, I can assure you that you will be more at ease with this news!"

Tang Shaofeng, who did not dare to have the slightest bit of carelessness, stuck his ear even closer, afraid that he would miss out a single word.

"Speaking of which, if not for your financial support, it would have been impossible for the salvage operation to progress so quickly. After all, it's such a big sea area! Mr. Tang, I can tell you for sure now: Mrs. Tang must have been saved! "

The unbelievable Tang Shaofeng, was holding onto the phone with his knuckles trembling, he was so happy that he didn't know what expression to show, and his dark brown eyes shone brilliantly. You're sure my wife is all right without picking her up? Isn't that too arbitrary? "

"Mr. Tang, I have done many years of criminal investigation work, please believe in my professional standard. On the day of your wife's disappearance, there were all sorts of signs that she had fallen into the sea. As such, it was extremely important that he did not get the information about the man! Furthermore, I have personally investigated the distributable waters surrounding the Red Sea. Not only is the water extremely deep and undead, there are also quite a few pedestrians.
