Chapter 242: Arrangements
“How long have I been unconscious for?”
Shen Xiaoxiao was much calmer than 19 had expected. She did not panic or go crazy after hearing the news of Boss’ disappearance. Instead, she was very calm and asked him calmly about everything that had happened in the past few days.
“Three days, Miss. You have been unconscious for three days.”
“19, tell me everything that has happened since you saved me from the beginning.”
19 was stunned at first, then immediately nodded and said to Shen Xiaoxiao, “Miss, the situation was like this: After Dark 1 sent the things back, I went with him to prepare to meet up with you, but when we arrived, we saw your car rushing down the ramp. You opened the door and jumped into the lake, and the car immediately exploded.”
“I immediately jumped into the river to save you. When I picked you up, I saw Dark 1 finish off the people who were trying to kill you.”
“However, you were alone in the river. Boss was not in the car. When Dark 1 felt that something was wrong, he turned around to look for him before me. Then, I brought you to the hospital.”
“Three days passed. Not only Boss, Dark 1 did not show up either. I don’t know what happened. The Four Hall Masters have all returned to the country. They are all out looking for them. During this period, they have seen you a few times. Seeing that you are still unconscious, there was no way to know what happened in the middle of the journey and why you were being hunted. However, they said to inform them as soon as you wake up. I have already contacted them when I called the doctor. I reckon that they will arrive in the afternoon.”
19’s words were very simple, but Shen Xiaoxiao was shocked when she heard it. In other words, Yan Kuan and Dark 1 had disappeared almost at the same time, and it had already been three days?
How was this possible? Those cars had followed her at that time. The place where Yan Kuan had jumped out of the car was around the small forest. It was impossible for them to disappear just like that.
And Dark 1 had also disappeared?
“The people who are chasing us are from the Ouyang family. Yan Kuan was discovered by them when he was exploring the Ouyang family.”
“Hall Master Yun thinks so too. It’s a pity that they sent two teams of people to explore the Ouyang family at night, but none of them returned. This Ouyang family is very strange.”
“No one returned?” Shen Xiaoxiao frowned. The Ouyang family was so powerful? Then Yan Kuan was really lucky to have escaped from the Ouyang family.
Of course, Yan Kuan was very skilled. Perhaps only he had the ability to escape from the Ouyang family.
“Yes, even the corpse has not been found. Therefore, the Four Hall Masters are also in a terrible state. However, the news of Boss’ disappearance has not been spread. The Dark Empire has formulated an emergency plan. After all, our Dark Empire has many enemies. If they know that Boss is missing, this matter will be troublesome.”
Shen Xiaoxiao nodded. That was indeed the case. If the outside world knew that the Black Emperor of the Dark Empire was missing, it would be a huge dispute.
But where did Yan Kuan go? Why was he missing?
“Who else knows about my pregnancy?”
“For the time being, only me and the doctors and nurses here know. The Four Hall Masters were all in a hurry, and I didn’t have the chance to tell them.”
Shen Xiaoxiao nodded. After a while, she said, “Then don’t tell them for the time being. Also, where are the doctors and nurses? We absolutely can’t let them expose the news of my pregnancy.”
“Ah? Why is Miss doing this?”
19 didn’t understand. She suddenly wanted to keep it a secret? Even the Four Hall Masters couldn’t know about it? What did she mean by shutting the doctors and nurses up?
“Keep it a secret for now. When Yan Kuan comes back, it will be too late. He is the father of the child. He has the right to be the first to know. Besides, now that he is missing, if others find out that the Black Emperor has a child, even if your entire Dark Empire protects me 24 hours a day, it will not be easy to protect the child in my belly.”
“So, 19, I don’t trust anyone except you.”
19’s heart tightened at Shen Xiaoxiao’s words. Indeed, if the public knew that Miss was pregnant and Boss was not around, it would be too dangerous. Moreover, Miss said that she only trusted him. It seemed that he had a heavy task… He did not know if Dark 1 was with Boss. He hoped that they would come back soon.
“Yes, I understand. I won’t tell anyone, Miss. Also, when you were hospitalized, I did not use your real identity to go through the procedures. I used an alias and a fake passport. I just used one of the fake identities that you used when you returned from Country M.”
Shen Xiaoxiao nodded. Although 19 was pure and innocent, he was very meticulous. Sometimes, he was even more meticulous than Shen Xiaoxiao.
…
“He’s awake?”
A black-cloaked man walked to a special secret room and asked the two big men guarding the door.
“Yes, he woke up half an hour ago, but we injected him with the medicine according to your request. Even if he wakes up now, he can’t move.”
“Yes, okay. Remember, you must not let him recover his strength. Continue to inject him with the cartilage powder. You have to start the injection half an hour before the medicine reaches its effect. This is the Black Emperor. You must not treat him normally. And you guys, watch him well.”
The black-cloaked man who spoke was using a shapeshifting machine. It was hard to tell whether he was male or female, old or young.
His entire body, including his entire face, was covered by a black cloth. Other than his two eyeballs, his appearance could not be seen at all.
However, his deterrence was clearly not small. With his order, the two big men bowed their heads respectfully.
The cloaked man glanced at the completely sealed room but did not enter. He could vaguely see the Black Emperor’s sleeping appearance. He nodded, turned around, and walked out of the basement.
…
At this moment, the Liu family was also covered in dark clouds. Liu Yufei was extremely furious as she stared at the email in the computer. This damned Li San Er. She knew that if something were to happen, it would definitely be at his place.
He had run away and left behind such an email. The money had been taken away, and the person had run away. However, the crime had all been thrown at them.
This Li San Er only maintained a cooperative relationship with her, and there was no further development. Excuse me, it was just a matter of splitting the money. No one would be at ease with it. That was why Liu Yufei had tried to seduce Li San Er several times.
But this Li San Er was actually a tough nut to crack. He did not even look at her. Alright, look, now something really happened.
If it was not for her lack of manpower, would she have used Li San Er? Would she have let her father get involved?
Now, everything was lost. Moreover, in order to protect her, Liu Qianmin would definitely take the blame alone. This time, the Liu family was in big trouble.
If Liu Qianmin had been taken away in such a low-key manner, perhaps the Ouyang family could have used their connections to get him out or find a scapegoat. However, there were so many people watching at that time… Almost everyone in the upper-class society had heard about those crimes.
Moreover, he had been taken away by the troops. It was almost impossible to escape!
