Right after class, Xie Chen received a call from Lu Fei. He heard the frantic report: "Xie Yongan has disappeared. He most likely smuggled himself overseas!"
Xie Chen smiled dismissively. "And?"
"And?! What if he comes after you and tries to hurt you?!" Lu Fei thought, The emperor isn't worried, but the eunuch is. Then, in the next second, he suddenly realized something and added sarcastically, "Don't tell me you saw this coming?!"
Xie Chen chuckled. "Of course I did!"
Even the smuggling boat had been arranged by me.
He did not say that, mainly because he was livestreaming and it was not convenient.
"I'm fine here. Just help me take care of Grandma," Xie Chen said, his tone suddenly turning heavy.
Lu Fei said, "Heh, I'm afraid I can't do that. The Huo family has built a fortress around her. I can barely even see her, so how am I supposed to take care of her?!"
As Xie Chen's childhood friend, he felt that he was becoming increasingly useless.
Especially after the Buddha of Beijing's elite circle stepped in,
he could practically serve as nothing more than background scenery!
Hearing that, Xie Chen subconsciously looked toward Huo Wenye. The latter curled his lips faintly. "My family's security is excellent. You can rest assured."
Xie Chen: "..." Would it matter if I said I wasn't reassured?!
After hanging up, the single dorm room fell into temporary silence.
As Xie Chen stood there lost in thought, Huo Wenye suddenly moved closer. "What are you thinking about?"
"I was wondering whether Grandma is sick, or whether someone used some method to make her sick." Xie Chen directly voiced the doubt in his heart.
He did not know when it had started, but he no longer had any guard up around Huo Wenye.
