Xiang Jintian nervously clasped the child's shoulders and asked with a trembling voice, "Where... where is she?"
The child's eyes reddened, and he immediately burst into tears.
Li Zhou frowned and asked, "Let her go. What are you looking for Xu Qian for?"
A spark of light flashed in Xiang Jintian's eyes. He stood up and said urgently,
"I'm her boyfriend. She was angry with me and left alone. I've been looking for almost a month. I'm afraid something might happen to her."
Ji Liyang lowered his gaze, feeling a slight pang in his heart, surprised that she actually had a boyfriend.
Li Zhou's lips pressed together tightly. After a moment of thought, he said, "She's fine. Since she doesn't want to be with you anymore, let her go."
Xiang Jintian's expression flickered. "Impossible, I won't let her go."
Li Zhou was a protective person. He didn't expect this scoundrel to shamelessly pester his dear Qian Qian.
"I am Xu Qian's godfather. I don't approve of your relationship. Get out now."
Xiang Jintian was startled by this statement, surprised that this old man was Qian Qian's godfather.
Cold sweat broke out on his back.
He gave a formal bow, his attitude sincere.
"There's a misunderstanding between Qian Qian and me. I want to find her and explain. Moreover, important national documents are with her, and I need to find her quickly to submit them."
Hearing the word "national," Li Zhou's cloudy eyes stirred.
"What documents are you submitting?"
He used to be a soldier himself, but he was old and down on his luck, which led him to this state.
Xiang Jintian hadn't expected him to ask this. Confidential documents could not be easily disclosed.
He could only reply, "Grandpa, these are very important documents for the apocalypse. I hope you can understand."
Li Zhou sighed. Since it was important national information, personal matters had to take a backseat.
"She just left. She said she was going to City A. You should be able to find her if you follow the road to City A."
Xiang Jintian's heart pounded rapidly; he wished he could chase after her immediately.
He bowed to Li Zhou, "Thank you. I will bring Qian Qian to visit you often in the future."
Li Zhou turned and returned to the shed.
"Alright, go find her quickly."
Xiang Jintian ordered the convoy to head towards City A, while he himself spread his wings and flew in that direction.
As expected, not long after, he saw a car speeding down the road.
Xiang Jintian accelerated to intercept it.
Xu Qian was asleep. Xu Lü liked to floor the accelerator when driving.
Suddenly, he saw a man ahead and hesitated whether to brake or not.
Thinking the car was already close to the man, Xu Lü still slammed on the brakes.
Forget it, Mom didn't like hurting others.
Xu Qian was jolted awake by the sudden stop and was somewhat annoyed.
"Xu Lü, what are you doing?!"
Xu Qian had a bit of a temper when woken up. Anyone would be unhappy if woken from a deep sleep.
"Mom, there's someone."
Xu Lü looked at her innocently with his green eyes, pointing ahead.
Xu Qian froze and looked up.
A tall man in camouflage stood before the car, his perfectly curved eyes staring intently at her.
After half a month, Xu Qian had moved on. They hadn't been together for long, so so be it.
However, seeing his handsome face made Xu Qian feel uneasy.
Thinking about having to "conquer" him again in the future, she felt even more annoyed.
After all, he was not someone she could easily offend or slap.
Xu Qian said in a deep voice, "Xu Lü, don't get out of the car."
Xu Qian had already figured out a way to deal with it. Since she had to "conquer" him and not offend him, she could only... forgive him.
