Chapter 1139: You are Lizhen?!
Zhong Lizhen and Dong Xuebing might be dead?!
No one said a word in the villa.
Suddenly, the landline in the living room rang.
Han Jing looked at the caller display and answered, wiping her tears. “Dad….”
Senior Xie said in an angry tone. “Is Xie Guojian there? Ask him to come to the phone.” He addressed his son by his full name, which is rare.
Han Jian turned. “Guojian, Dad wants to speak to you.”
Xie Guojian answered the phone cautiously. “Hello, Dad.”
Senior Xie asked. “Are you the one who told Xiao Dong about Lizhen?”
Xie Guojian replied. “Yes.”
“Stupid!” Senior Xie shouted. Even Han Jing and the rest heard it.
Xie Guojian apologized. “It’s my fault, Dad. I should not have told Xiao Bing.”
Senior Xie scolded. “Do you think this apology is enough? How are you going to answer your elder brother and sister-in-law?! How are you going to face Huilan?! Tell me!”
Senior Xie scolded.
Xie Guojian did not retort. He accepted the scolding and had no excuses.
Zhong Lizhen is important because of her research. But she is not related to the Xie family. Senior Xie will call her Xiao Zhen when they meet, but they are not blood-related. Dong Xuebing is different. He is the Xie family’s grandson-in-law. He is part of their family, and Senior Xie is furious.
Xie Guojian said after a few minutes. “It’s all my fault, Dad. Take care of your health and don’t be so angry. Xiao Bing and Lizhen might be safe. We are still waiting for the latest news from there. I will return to the military and send people to Florida to save them!”
“It will be too late if I depend on you!”
“Dad…. What do you mean?”
“I had just called Zhong Nan Hai. The arrangements had been made.”
Senior Xie slammed the phone down.
Xie Guojian looked at his eldest brother and sister-in-law. “Senior Xie said he had arranged. If Xiao Bing and Lizhen are still alive, they should be trapped in Florida. The higher-ups should be sending someone there before this evening.”
Xie Guoliang sighed. “Hope they are fine.”
Xie Guobang returned after making his phone calls and sat beside Han Jing. Both did not say anything.
Ring… ring… ring…. Han Jing’s phone rang. It was her daughter, Huilan.
Han Jing looked at her husband. “Guobang.”
Xie Guobang replied coldly. “Answer it. She will know about it sooner or later.”
Han Jing closed her eyes and answered. “Huilan.”
Xie Huilan asked. “I heard about Florida. Do you have news of Aunt?”
“The research center was attacked, and many soldiers were killed. Your aunt’s whereabouts are unknown.” Han Jing replied truthfully. “Senior Xie had contacted the higher-ups.”
“Was it attacked by our people?”
“……”
“Tell me, Mum.”
“It was Xuebing.”
Xie Huilan went quiet for a few seconds and said. “What did you say? I did not hear clearly.”
“Xuebing had gone to Florida by himself without telling anyone. He….”
“What happened to him?!”
“I don’t know. They say….” Han Jing started crying again. “They say Xuebing might be dead.”
Xie Huilan took a deep breath. “Are you kidding with me?!”
“It’s all my fault.” Han Jing cried.
“I am several months pregnant, and you are telling me my husband is dead?!”
Xie Guobang took the phone from his wife. “Huilan, Xiao Bing’s news is not confirmed. We want you to be prepared.”
“I don’t need to be mentally prepared!”
“I also want to believe Xiao Bing is alive.”
“That guy will not die. Even if all the soldiers in Florida locked the city down, he would have ways to escape!”
“Yes.”
“Book a flight ticket to Florida for me.”
“It’s useless for you to go there now.”
“Then I will book myself! Bye!”
“No…. Huilan….”
The line was cut.
Xie Guobang frowned. “Huilan says she wants to go to Florida.”
Xie Guojian immediately says. “Absolutely not! It’s a mess there. How can she go now?”
Xie Guoliang replied. “You all should know about Huilan’s stubbornness. No one can change her mind once she is set. Send someone to monitor the airport and stop her immediately. She must not go to the US now.”
Xie Guobang nodded. “Yes.”
Xie Guojian immediately calls the airport to look out for Xie Huilan. He also called the military to ask about Florida. He was nervous as he did not want to receive any bad news. Although Zhong Lizhen and Dong Xuebing might be dead, he still hopes for a miracle.
Very soon, other Xie family members heard about it.
Xia Meizhen, Ci Lifen, Xie Ran, Xie Jing, Xie Hao, and the rest called to ask about the situation. All of them were shocked when they heard about Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing might be dead?!
How… how is this possible?!
When the military was prepared to send someone to rescue Dong Xuebing and Zhong Lizhen, and the whole family was in sorrow, the doorbell rang.
Ding dong… ding dong….
Han Jing did not move. She was in despair.
“It might be our sister-in-law or Xiao Jing. Open the door.” Xie Guobang said to Han Jing.
Han Jing was feeling down and did not hear anything.
Xie Guoliang knew his Sister-in-law’s feelings and stood up. “Let Sister-in-law rest. I will open the door.”
Xie Guoliang did not check the camera and opened the door. He saw a beautiful woman outside and was surprised. “You are….”
The beautiful woman looked at him. “You are Brother Guoliang.”
Xie Guoliang was stunned and felt this woman looked familiar. He looked at her for a few seconds, and his jaws dropped. “You are… Lizhen?!”
