Su Qingning's mother's phone call was inexplicably eerie. Who hangs up in the middle of a sentence?
Su Qingning panicked and hurriedly redialed her mother's number. The call connected, but no one answered, making her grow even more anxious.
Lin Xiao knew something had happened to Su Qingning's mother.
"Honey, don't worry. I'll call Xiao Shixiong and ask him to help us investigate," Lin Xiao said softly, comforting her.
Su Qingning's eyes lit up. It felt like she had grasped the last lifesaving straw. She grabbed Lin Xiao's hand. Her captivating eyes had reddened without her realizing it, and she looked at Lin Xiao with a pitiful, pleading gaze.
"Please, talk to him nicely," she begged. "I'm willing to pay any amount as long as he's willing to help."
Lin Xiao took her into his arms. "You silly girl, don't be afraid. We'll be fine. Besides, Xiao Shixiong won't take a penny for this. There's no time to lose; I'll give him a call right away!"
Su Qingning nodded quickly.
