Chapter 1172: Chapter 1172: Lost Contact

Throughout the journey, Jian Dan didn’t speak another word, sitting in a corner on her own, leaning to one side, clutching her phone tightly in her hand.

“If you miss him, just call him!” Qiu Zimo said, seeing Jian Dan’s current state.

“But I’m afraid I might disturb Uncle.”

“What you consider a disturbance might be a surprise in Chu Liyuan’s heart, don’t you think?”

“Jian, Mr. Zimo is right, go ahead and call!” Xia Mengjiao also chimed in.

“Okay!” Jian Dan nodded her head and then dialed Chu Liyuan’s number…

...

As the ringtone beeped again and again, the call never got answered…

Jian Dan’s face also became increasingly troubled with each ringtone.

Finally, when there was a voice on the other end of the phone, it was a woman’s voice: The user you are calling is currently unreachable. Please try again later.

Jian Dan dialed several more times, but she never managed to get through…

“Zimo sister, do you think something might have happened to Uncle?” Jian Dan was now entirely anxious.

If Uncle were alright, how could he possibly not answer her call?

“Jian, don’t panic just yet. I’ll try calling Li Jing!” Xia Mengjiao said as she took out her phone. Because she was too nervous, she dropped it on the ground. Luckily, it wasn’t broken.

After picking it up, she dialed Li Jing’s number…

But to their surprise, Li Jing’s phone also went unanswered, just like Chu Liyuan’s.

Jian Dan and Xia Mengjiao were both becoming flustered, unsure of what to do.

“Without any definite news, don’t you two get unnecessarily anxious!” Qiu Zimo said, looking at the two restless figures.

“Zimo sister, how much longer until we arrive?”

“About a dozen hours!”

“That long?”

“Stop letting your imagination run wild and eat something for now!”

“How can we eat at a time like this?” Xia Mengjiao’s face was etched with worry.

“You have to eat even if you don’t feel like it. Do you want your husbands to see you looking haggard?”

“But…”

“No more excuses, hurry up!” Qiu Zimo said as she already brought the food in front of them. “You must finish it all!” Qiu Zimo’s tone was unyielding.

They looked at the food in front of them and forced themselves to eat what was there.

A dozen hours later…

“Go on,” Qiu Zimo said, pointing to a mine not far away.

“Okay!” Jian Dan and Xia Mengjiao were the first to jump off the plane and run towards the mine…

However, the two of them didn’t know that a place like a mine wasn’t where anyone could enter at will…

Upon reaching the entrance, the two were stopped by the staff. “This is a private mine.”

“I know, we’re here to look for someone!”

“Look for someone? Who are you looking for?”

“Chu Liyuan and Li Jing!”

“You’re looking for Mr. Chu?”

“Yes! I’m his wife!”

“Do you have any proof to back up what you’re saying?”

“Proof?” Jian Dan shook her head. She hadn’t anticipated needing proof to come here.

“If you don’t have any, I’m sorry, but we can’t let you in.”

“I’m telling you, you’d better let us in quickly, or if Mr. Chu finds out you’re barring us, it won’t end well for you,” Xia Mengjiao stepped forward to say.

“And who might you be?”

“I’m Li Jing’s wife! Hurry up and let me in—” Xia Mengjiao insisted.

“Without any proof, we can’t let you in!”

“Then I’m sorry!” At this point, Jian Dan only wanted to see Uncle as soon as possible; she couldn’t worry about much else.

Jian Dan kicked out suddenly, and the man blocking them was sent flying…

“Quick, someone stop them!” the man who had been kicked shouted loudly.

With Jian Dan’s skills, how could these mine workers be a match for her? But there were too many of them, so it took quite a bit of time to deal with them all.

“Lass, you go on ahead, I’ll handle things here!” Qiu Zimo spoke up coolly.

“Then I’ll leave it to you, Zimo sister!” Jian Dan grabbed Xia Mengjiao’s hand and ran inside…
