That night, Chen Fan heard Xia Linmeng talk about many things related to her, including her vague impression of her biological father, her mother spent her daily life alone when she was busy with work, and her life was very popular at school because of her cute appearance...

Although there are many colorful stories in it, I am a little lonely after all.

Just listening to Xia Linmeng's confidant quietly seemed to be a great enjoyment for her, and soon Xia Linmeng fell asleep while murmured.

Snuggling in Chen Fan's arms.

Of course, Chen Fan didn't want to just hold Xia Linmeng and sleep all night, but when he was about to withdraw and go to the floor, Mengmeng hugged her neck tightly.

This damn girl...isn't she pretending to be asleep?

However, if it's only one night, it's still...

Chen Fan endured it.

The next day, Chen Fan sent Xia Linmeng home. He saw several black cars at the entrance of Mengmeng's community. Four or five men in suits stood outside around him. One of the most luxurious extended cars was covered with cloth curtains. The curtains inside were pulled open and the windows were rolled down. Mengmeng's mother with exquisite makeup appeared in the car. There was a hint of worry in her eyes, which made Chen Fan care quite.

Xia Linmeng stepped forward to explain the whole story to her mother. At this time, a man in the suit appeared behind Chen Fan, "The agreed remuneration has been placed in your study."

"Are you... really the subordinates of Mengmeng's father?"

"You don't have to worry about this. Few people know the identity of the Mengmeng Miss, and it does not exceed single digits. The Miss's identity is sensitive. If a person knows it, he will have more threats. Especially for those influential nobles of aristocratic families, if someone in the Hua family of Wanhua Supermarket and the Casablanca family of the Parkway Supermarket know about this, you should know the consequences."

This is already a naked threat, and it is impossible to eliminate Chen Fan's doubts in this way - but if his wife and Mengmeng did not raise objections, maybe they had seen this group of men in suits before, and Chen Fan, an outsider, would not have said anything.

I had thought it was nothing before, but it was a good thing to send a family to reunite.

But seeing this scene, Chen Fan felt a little uneasy again.

He didn't understand where this uneasiness came from. Maybe... it was because he had never been separated from Xia Linmeng for so long?

Although there are already many prosecutors, in fact, only Xia Linmeng is the only one who really relies on Chen Fan.

"Brother Fan."

Xia Linmeng trotted to Chen Fan and hugged Chen Fan.

"Your mother is still watching here--don't make trouble, you--"

Chen Fan pushed Xia Linmeng away.

"I'm going to the Imperial Capital soon, don't miss me!"

"Um……"

Chen Fan was thinking about how to reply, but Xia Linmeng's eyes turned red.

"Ah, you really don't miss me?"

"That's not what it means..." Chen Fan hurriedly explained, "It's very difficult to do without you in the workshop, but... sometimes, once you miss it, you'll miss it forever. If you don't want to regret it, just go ahead and do it... Your words are fine."

"I'm fine because of Brother Fan. If Brother Fan doesn't... I will try to make myself fine." Xia Linmeng's voice trembled a little, which was too far from her usual words.

"Ah, Brother Fan." Xia Linmeng paused and patted Chen Fan on the shoulder and said, "As a farewell gift, today I will answer any question you want to know. If you have anything to ask me, but you can't ask me because of shame or something, you can ask now... But, only today."

Suddenly... say such words.

It was as if I knew that Chen Fan had always wanted to ask her a question.

However, the answer to that question is no longer so important to Chen Fan.

"No...it's still not."

Chen Fan gently stroked Xia Linmeng's head, "Be careful on the road, and then... come back early."

Xia Linmeng seemed a little surprised, but the astonishment flashed by.

She smiled and bowed slightly to Chen Fan, "Thank you Brother Fan for your care. I'm really happy when I was with you."

"Don't pull the flag all over, okay... I'm so panicked for you."

"Hehe... This is a reverse flag, a flag used to allow us to reunite soon. However, it turns out that Brother Fan will not see me in panic?"

Xia Linmeng stood on tiptoe and gently kissed Chen Fan on the cheek that was unprepared.

"Looking forward to the day you meet again."

Chen Fan could not remember what happened next. When Chen Fan came to his senses, the black sedan convoy had already left.

There seemed to be something blocking in his throat and couldn't make a sound, but in the end he didn't make any sound.

call……

It won't be a separation of life or death, anyway—

Chen Fan's cell phone rang, and the person who sent the text message was Xia Linmeng.

【The first minute I separated from Brother Fan, I miss you qaq】

[Remember to miss me in normal times!]

[Can you take care of the things in the store alone? Those pronunciation ladies are not as good as me...]

This silly girl, you can also contact me via text message anyway, right?

There is really no need to worry about anything.

Chen Fan never expected that this was the last text message Xia Linmeng sent today.

Until the evening when the Alchemy Workshop was about to close, Chen Fan did not receive the second text message from Xia Linmeng.

"Brother Fan, don't wander around there... If you really think about Mengmeng so much, wouldn't it be enough to call her or send her a text message? It's just a trip to the imperial capital to visit relatives, as for being so absent-minded."

Hua Jianai's little abacus was completely wrong.

I thought Xia Linmeng was not here, and this was a good opportunity to attack Afan, a local beggar, to seize the alchemy workshop, but I didn't expect that Brother Fan had no reaction to her desperation today, and he didn't even have much interest in playing drums, his favorite.

Chen Fan was awakened by Hua Jianai's advice. There was no need to be so reserved at this time. It was not good to always wait for Xia Linmeng to call on the phone.

【Sorry, the phone number you called has been turned off -]

Turn off the phone?

The phone is out of battery?

Of course, Chen Fan didn't think things were so beautiful. He called Mengmeng's mother again, but the other side of the phone was still turned off.

...

When Hua Jianai saw Chen Fan making calls over and over again, she couldn't help but worry about Xia Linmeng's safety, "It's over, they must have encountered kidnappers!"

"Can't you expect something good at this time?"

"I won't say things to comfort me, Brother Fan!"

Chen Fan really wanted to pick up Hua Jianai to play drums this time, but he didn't have enough time to play drums.

Calm, calm...

Chen Fan seemed familiar in this scene. Mengmeng accidentally forgot her phone at Lily's house, so a similar situation occurred, and the end result was just a farce.

However, from the strange words of the suit man, the hidden worries in Mengmeng's mother's eyes, and the strange expression when Xia Linmeng left—

I obviously don’t trust that man, why did I hand Mengmeng over to him?

Chen Fan was strolling back and forth thinking about how to get Mengmeng back, but then he saw Hua Jianai talking on the phone.

"Who are you calling?"

"Of course it's Lily and the others. I see that Brother Fan, you are gone, Mengmeng is like a waste to help make decisions, so I called other prosecutors over."

"Don't take your own initiative, okay! You damn girl..."

Chen Fan waved his hand at Xia Linmeng, but in the end his fist did not fall.

"It's my incompetence that I'm furious. Sorry... maybe your idea is more effective than I walk around like a headless fly."

"Hehe... I'm still more useful than Brother Fan at critical moments, right?"

"It's useless!"

Then, the first person to hurry to the scene was Chen Quan and his daughter. They were sweating profusely and were panting.

"Ah, Afan, you said Mengmeng...what happened to her?"

"Why did you even call Sister Quan over?"

This time, Chen Fan really beat Hua Jianai up to a blow.

"Oh! One more person, there are more roads..." Hua Jianai covered her head and felt aggrieved.

Since they have come, they can't be sent away at this time. Chen Fan bit the bullet and explained some facts to the mother and daughter, and only went to Mengmeng to visit her father in the imperial capital (it didn't say that her father was seriously ill). Then he disappeared. As a result, Chen Fan, who was unwilling to get a surprise news.

"Ahh, did Sister Mengmeng go to the Imperial Capital? The Imperial Capital has been so dangerous recently... If I knew about it in advance, I wouldn't have let Sister Mengmeng go."

"Imperial Capital? Why is it very dangerous?"

"It was Ah Huan next door who told me..." Guoguo continued, "It was said that the royal family of the Hua family was fighting for the heirs to the death..."

"You hear those little guys say something strange about every day..."

"What! Such a wonderful palace coup script, as the royal family of the Hua family, I didn't even smell anything!"

Although it was just a child's speech, if this is true, it might be that Mengmeng suddenly returned to the imperial capital at this time point, and maybe it was really a fight for the inheritance right... Is Mengmeng's father's serious illness fake?
