Chapter 969 Looking Back (First Update)

When Xia Yuanfang said this, her tone was neither fast nor slow, like a standard timer.

But it gave people an invisible sense of oppression, which was more effective than any harsh words she said.

The little bit of "courage" that Meng Guanghui had just raised disappeared in an instant.

His straight back even bent a little, with a bit of flattery and humility that he didn't even know, Meng Guanghui said humbly: "Aunt Xia, we are already looking for..."

As he said this, he paused slightly, and his eyes quickly glanced at Huo Yushen, wondering if he could tell Xia Yuanfang the latest news.

Huo Yushen shook his head slightly at him.

Meng Guanghui's voice went even lower: "... But there is no news yet. But don't worry, as long as we have first-hand information, we will notify you immediately!"

Xia Yuanfang stared at Meng Guanghui's every move on the virtual display screen, and did not miss his pause just now.

Although it was only a moment, and even the naked eye could not tell it, Xia Yuanfang's keen intuition and amazing observation still noticed a little difference.

Just now, Meng Guanghui seemed to glance in one direction.

Xia Yuanfang was not particularly unfamiliar with that kind of action and expression.

That was the expression of asking for instructions from the superior present.

Superior?

Xia Yuanfang's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked lightly: "Really? Looking for it? May I ask how you are looking for it? Can you tell me, the only direct relative of Chujian, about your actions?"

Meng Guanghui smiled awkwardly and said: "That can't be said... This must be kept confidential."

Xia Yuanfang nodded: "So you did take action, did you take action recently, or did you start taking action as soon as you knew my niece was missing?"

Meng Guanghui thought, Huo Shuai followed, who knew that Xia Chujian could be lost?

But he didn't dare to question his immediate superior...

And after Huo Yushen came back, his mood was extremely bad, who dared to ask what happened at that time?

In the past, they had no other feelings about Huo Yushen except that he was like a thousand-year-old ice, and strangers should not approach him.

His emotions have always been very reserved, and no one can sense his emotional changes.

But this time, they felt it...

So they were more worried, more afraid, and more at a loss.

Now being questioned by Xia Yuanfang, Meng Guanghui was overwhelmed.

How could he answer this!

Meng Guanghui hesitated and said, "Well... of course we have to find it, but our actions are indeed confidential."

Xia Yuanfang heard him say this and understood that he could not make the decision.

So Xia Yuanfang threw out the next question that he had prepared long ago: "Then may I ask if your superior, Inspector Huo, is here?"

"If he is, I want to talk to him."

Meng Guanghui's scalp was numb, and he didn't dare to look in the direction of Huo Yushen at this time. He said directly: "Our chief inspector is in a meeting. If you have anything to say, you can tell me and I will pass it on to the chief inspector."

He was not negligent this time.

Even Xia Yuanfang was wondering at this time, was she too suspicious of the slight change she had just glimpsed?

Because Meng Guanghui did not have any micro-expressions to ask for instructions from his superiors this time.

Xia Yuanfang turned off the video call and sat in her study room, looking out the window with a restless mind.

At this time, it was the night of Mulan City in the Beichen Galaxy Guiyuan Star.

It was already the end of May, and more than a month had passed since Xia Chujian joined the interstellar expedition team and entered the starry sky exploration.

She had not spoken to Xia Chujian for more than a month.

Half a month ago, the starry sky expedition team of the First Military University of the Beichen Empire returned, and the students returned to their own planets and schools.

At first, Xia Yuanfang didn't know that Xia Chujian hadn't returned.

It was still a classmate of Xia Chujian, named Chen Yanjun, who secretly found the address of Xia Chujian's villa near the school and told the housekeeping robot there that Xia Chujian had disappeared during the starry sky exploration and asked it to tell Xia Chujian's family.

The housekeeping robot was bought by Xia Chujian and Xia Yuanfang after they arrived at the Imperial Capital Star.

It stored the contact information of Xia Chujian and Xia Yuanfang.

After knowing this news, its extremely limited mechanical intelligence could also judge that this news was very important.

Therefore, it was forwarded to Xia Yuanfang as soon as possible.

Xia Yuanfang was doing an experiment that could not be disturbed at that time.

When she finished the experiment, it was already the second day after the housework robot sent the message.

Xia Yuanfang was half-believing and half-doubting at first.

Because Xia Chujian had not contacted her family every day since she went to the Imperial Capital Star to attend university. Sometimes she did not contact her family for more than a month.

With the mood of giving it a try, she sent a message to Xia Chujian, saying that she was not feeling well and hoped that she would contact her family.

Xia Yuanfang knew that if she said something else, Xia Chujian might not reply immediately.

But if she said that she was not feeling well, Xia Chujian would definitely contact her immediately.

But she waited for three days and did not wait for Xia Chujian to reply.

Only then did Xia Yuanfang confirm that Xia Chujian must have had an accident.

So she first sent a video call invitation to the political affairs commissioner of the First Military University of Beichen Empire.

For the safety of students, it is definitely the right person to find the political affairs commissioner of the same grade.

That political affairs commissioner was Zong Ruoning.

When he saw Xia Yuanfang's video call invitation, he answered it immediately.

The conversation between Xia Yuanfang and Zong Ruoning was not pleasant.

It's not that Zong Ruoning's attitude is wrong, nor is it that Xia Yuanfang is unreasonable, but the result makes both sides very sad.

Because Zong Ruoning confirmed the news of Xia Chujian's disappearance.

Xia Yuanfang was so angry that his blood pressure suddenly rose.

"Missing?! How could he disappear?! He would disappear during an activity related to the course organized by the school?!"

Xia Yuanfang questioned.

Zong Ruoning smiled bitterly and answered: "Yes, we are a military school. We have informed the students in advance of this situation and signed an agreement."

"Not only will they disappear, but they may also become disabled or even sacrificed."

"Several students died in this activity, and several were seriously injured and are being treated."

"There are several more missing students, and Xia Chujian is just one of them."

The students who were swept away by the strange mist on the Green Star were also treated as missing because their bodies were not found.

Just like the teachers and students who lost contact 19 years ago.

Xia Yuanfang was very angry at the time and asked back: "There is such an agreement?! Why didn't you inform the parents?!"

Zong Ruoning said: "Our students are already adults, they can sign this agreement themselves."

Xia Yuanfang was stunned again.

Yes, Chujian is already an adult.

She no longer needs her guardianship...

She closed her eyes, feeling a sharp pain in her heart.

She asked Zong Ruoning to tell her exactly what happened when Xia Chujian disappeared.

Zong Ruoning didn't say anything too specific, just that they were attacked at the time, and Xia Chujian accidentally fell into a "door" that suddenly appeared in order to save his classmates.

Then the "door" disappeared, and none of them could get in, and Xia Chujian couldn't get out either.

However, Zong Ruoning also assured: "Please rest assured that our school has not given up the search and rescue."

"We have not returned yet, so we contacted the school and asked them to immediately go to that galaxy to launch a rescue operation."

"Unfortunately, our rescue spacecraft did not find the green star where Chu Jian disappeared."

"At present, they are still continuing to search in that galaxy. Please rest assured that I will personally keep an eye on this matter and will not let it go."

As far as the school is concerned, they have indeed done what they can.

The rest can only be left to fate.

After Xia Yuanfang learned of the news, her mood was really hard to describe.

She sat alone in her study, looking at the manor scenery outside the window, and pondered for a long time.

The appearance of the "door" made her suddenly feel that Xia Chujian's disappearance was not as simple as a simple accident.

There had been a "door" in her life before.

But that "door" brought them demons, killings, and endless disasters and destruction!

Now, the "door" has appeared again.

Is it the "door" she had seen before?

Or is she overthinking?

After all, this place is so different from her previous world.

And those things already existed here, so there was no need for a "door" to serve as their entrance and exit!

So what kind of world did Xia Chujian enter?

Thinking of this, Xia Yuanfang called Meng Guanghui of the Special Security Bureau for a video call invitation.

She didn't even get any useful information from Meng Guanghui.

Because Meng Guanghui didn't follow after all, and because of the restrictions of discipline, he couldn't tell many things to outsiders.

So what he said was far less detailed than what Zong Ruoning said.

Although Zong Ruoning also concealed something, Meng Guanghui knew nothing about it.

But Xia Yuanfang didn't give up.

She set a fixed time and communicated with the school and Meng Guanghui on time every day.

Of course, when she made a video call to the school later, it was not with Zong Ruoning, but a phone number announced by the school.

Because after the end of this operation, in view of the large number of students and teachers who died and disappeared, the school specially opened a video call hotline to serve parents and relevant people.

Half a month later, only Xia Yuanfang still called the video call hotline opened by the school at a fixed time every day.

After receiving compensation and insurance money from the school, other parents gradually stopped calling.

Because the school promised that they would be notified as soon as there was any news.

They stopped, except Xia Yuanfang.

Xia Yuanfang not only caused great pressure to Meng Guanghui of the Special Security Bureau, but even the young staff member in charge of the video call hotline of the school could not stand her.

It is said that the young staff member now almost has an overreaction to the video call hotline.

As soon as he heard the red light for requesting a video call, he trembled and even had early symptoms of weak legs, frequent urination and fainting...

This is the first update, and the second update will be at 5:00 pm.
