When they were still in the car, Hong Jiaxin had wanted to teach Luo Yang a lesson.
It was only because he said he had important matters to tell her did she hold back from doing anything.
She guessed that it might have to do with news about her parents.
Ever since the Hong Zhong Couple vanished, nobody knew where the two of them had gone.
Hong Jiaxin was desperate to see her parents, yet she couldn't get in touch with them.
Luo Yang had promised to help her find out where her parents were, and she eagerly awaited good news from him every day.
As the car entered the village, Hong Jiaxin saw that Luo Yang still wasn't talking, so she shot him a glance.
In fact, Luo Yang had only said that there was something important to tell her in order to keep Hong Jiaxin calm at the time, yet he hadn't found out where the Hong Zhong Couple were.
Luo Yang felt that Hong Zhong and his wife were not in danger.
But what was strange was why Hong Zhong didn't want Hong Jiaxin to know his whereabouts.
The reason behind this was indeed baffling.
Seeing that Hong Jiaxin kept looking over, Luo Yang knew she was waiting for him to speak.
If he didn't, with her tomboyish temperament, she was likely to swing her little fists at him right there in the car.
The carriage was so cramped, Luo Yang didn't even have space to dodge.
Upon seeing Luo Yang smile, Hong Jiaxin couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "You said you had something to tell me, what is it?"
Luo Yang knew she was still able to sit still and not attack only because she wanted to hear news about her parents from his lips.
He actually did look into the matter, it's just that he hadn't found any clues yet.
The Hong Zhong Couple had disappeared in a very mysterious way, or rather, they had gone somewhere for a certain purpose but didn't want anyone to know.
Based on this, Luo Yang said, "Squad leader, let's talk after we get off the bus, shall we?"
If she didn't ask further, he would say no more.
Hong Jiaxin looked very interested and nodded.
She felt that Luo Yang having news was not a good sign.
If he didn't come up with something concrete, she would cling to him incessantly.
The car arrived at Qin Piao's doorstep.
After stopping the car, Tang Guihua said with a laugh, "Sisters, it's time to teach Niu Zai a lesson."
Luo Yang said with a smile, "Don't start with the violence, I still have words for the squad leader."
So Hong Jiaxin got out of the car first, followed by Luo Yang.
The others knew he wanted to talk to Hong Jiaxin alone, so they didn't follow into the house.
They asked Qin Piao for the door keys and unlocked the door.
The two of them went upstairs and into a room.
Hong Jiaxin asked anxiously, "Did you find out where my parents went?"
Luo Yang had anticipated she'd want to hear this sort of news, but he hadn't found anything yet.
If he said there was nothing, she would chase him nine streets to beat him.
Luo Yang nodded and said, "I had a friend check your dad's cell phone, he went somewhere quite far. Of course, it's also possible someone else has his phone."
He guessed that the Hong Zhong Couple were not nearby but had gone on a long journey.
Hong Jiaxin asked curiously, "So where is my dad's phone now?"
Luo Yang had just made it up on the spot and said, "It's been to a few places, but then we couldn't track it anymore. We're still not sure where it finally ended up, but we should have news soon. Squad leader, don't worry. I'll help you find your parents as soon as I can."
Upon hearing these words, Hong Jiaxin's eyes reddened a bit.
"Luo Yang, help me find them quickly, and I'll tutor you with your studies later," Hong Jiaxin choked up.
Luo Yang didn't really like this kind of repayment.
He chuckled and said, "Squad leader, if you make breakfast for me every day, that would be okay. Tutoring me in studies, that gives me a headache."
Hong Jiaxin gave him a look and said scornfully, "If it were anyone else asking, I wouldn't even want to tutor them."
That was indeed the truth.
Seeing that he had placated Hong Jiaxin, he changed the subject, "I'll go down and see what Sister An and the others are talking about."
Actually, he could hear it from the second floor, they were simply discussing the experience of drinking red wine at Zhu Li's nightclub.
