Billionaire's Long Journey of Chasing His Love-Chapter 851 - 708: Where Did They Go? (Second Update)

Chapter 851: Chapter 708: Where Did They Go? (Second Update)

Huo Li smiled apologetically, "Sorry to trouble you again. We all ate on the plane, but who knew he’d get hungry so soon."

"Kids get hungry quickly." Tong Yao laughed and took Ming Duo’s hand, "Zi Yan and the others are upstairs. Do you want to play with them for a bit before coming down to eat?"

Ming Duo glanced at his father and, seeing him nod, smiled and ran upstairs.

Yi Luowa laughed and said, "This little brother of mine is much more sensible than his mother. Oh... my second uncle spent his life just playing with us kids."

Huo Li curled her lips, "If you don’t irritate me once a day, you just don’t feel comfortable!"

Yi Weiyang chided teasingly, "You two start bickering as soon as you’re together. If the kids see this, they’ll learn from you."

Yi Luowa stuck out her tongue and laughed, "You two must’ve been annoyed on this trip, so I’m just trying to lighten the mood."

Yi Weiyang smiled and said, "Annoyance only lasts a while. Everything’s settled anyway, let’s just consider it money well spent to avoid disaster."

Long Che slightly curled his lips, "Weiyang has a good mindset; only people with such a mindset can live a long life."

Yi Weiyang laughed at himself, "I’ve trained myself over the years."

After chatting for a bit, Yi Luowa went upstairs to call Ming Duo down. While their family of three was eating, Ke Jingran arrived, burdened with large and small bags.

The children, seeing their teacher had arrived, flocked around Ke Jingran.

Ke Jingran hurriedly greeted everyone before being pulled upstairs by the children.

"The kids really like Xiao Ke," Tong Yao smiled, looking at Joyina. "What did he buy with all those large and small bags?"

"Costumes for roles. Looks like they’re planning to stage Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs today." Joyina counted on her fingers, "We have a princess, seven dwarfs are enough; there are even extras..."

Yi Luowa laughed and patted her hand, "Pay the man, we can’t have him teaching our kids for free and even spending his own money."

Joyina nonchalantly waved her hand, "It’s fine. I’ll give him an extra role for whatever he needs. He’s probably overwhelmed by himself. I’ll go take a look."

Mi Chenshuo stood up with her, "I’ll go help too."

"Why are you being so kind today?" Joyina laughed.

"I’m in a good mood." Mi Chenshuo pulled her upstairs.

Long Che smiled helplessly, "Shuoshuo is like his dad; their emotions are deeply buried."

Tong Airui laughed, "My dad is getting better at talking as he ages!"

Tong Aino, unafraid of stirring trouble, chimed in, "If he wasn’t a smooth talker, what would Dad say?"

Tong Airui glanced at him, "Figure it out yourself!"

The two brothers bickered a bit, and Uncle Li called to say that they’d identified who had swapped the brake pads, asking Yi Weiyang if he wanted to come take a look.

Yi Weiyang and Huo Li, leaving the kids behind, hurried to the company.

The person was identified, and there was more than one. It was a chain involving five people, from production to installation to quality inspection. The company had harbored so many leeches, it was really nerve-wracking.

Yi Luowa furrowed her brows, puzzled, "What’s in it for them to do this?"

"Someone gave them ten million to do it." Huo Li sneered, "Unfortunately, they never even met the person. If I find out who’s been sabotaging us, just watch what I do to him!"

Tong Airui slightly frowned, "There will always be some clues left behind."

Yi Weiyang sighed, "Let’s not overthink it, leave it to the police. Hopefully, they’ll find something."

"Sure, if you need my people, just say the word." Tong Airui actually had a plan. Whether it’s handled by him or the police, unless they find the person behind it, the case will never close.

He wasn’t saying anything now because he didn’t want others to feel as troubled as himself.

The next morning, Prince Charles and Lady Jing Ya finally returned, and in the evening, Mi Chenxuan and Youyou also rushed back. The house immediately returned to its usual busy state.

Mi Chenxuan chatted with everyone for a bit, then went with Tong Airui into the study. Just as they entered, Mi Chenxuan couldn’t wait to hand two photos to Tong Airui.

Tong Airui frowned as he glanced at them, "Where did you get these?"

"From the base. She’s the female leader of the base! Don’t you think she looks a bit like my fourth sister-in-law?"

"Indeed, they do look a bit alike!"

"Let me show you another one." Mi Chenxuan mysteriously pulled another photo from his pocket.

"Nancy!"

"Yes, her and Nancy’s photo together!"

"What’s their connection?"

Mi Chenxuan chuckled, "They should be twin sisters. I’ve found other photos in addition to a strand of her hair."

Tong Airui glanced sideways at him, noticing he had taken two more items out of his pocket, and gave him another sidelong glance, "What else do you have? Can’t you just bring everything out at once!"

"There’s really nothing else this time." Mi Chenxuan smiled and spread his hands.

Tong Airui snorted irritably, picking up the photos for a glance. These were pictures of Nancy before she had cosmetic surgery. From a young age, they looked exactly the same. At around seventeen or eighteen years old, Nancy began undergoing surgery, and that’s when their appearances started to differ.

"Who on earth is controlling these sisters?" Tong Airui tossed the photos onto the table and pinched his brow.

"The person controlling them isn’t simple, and this woman is very different from Nancy. She’s the brave warrior type, and sharper than Nancy intellectually. I nearly fell for her trap," Mi Chenxuan laughed, "But luckily I was quick-witted, turned off the sensor, and used the advantageous terrain they left me to fight them for eight hours. If it weren’t for the Beidi people and Youyou ambushing them from behind, I might have had to continue the fight for a while longer."

Tong Airui glared at him, "You’re one to talk. Turning off the sensor worried me sick!"

"But I made it back safe and sound." Mi Chenxuan pointed to the strand of hair and asked, "Should we do a DNA test?"

"Do one, just in case it’ll be useful in the future." Tong Airui raised his eyes to look at him, "Even in fierce battles, there are survivors. Why didn’t anyone from the base survive?"

"I know how important survivors are. But they, like those troublemakers before, would immediately bite and poison themselves the moment we tried to catch them."

Tong Airui furrowed his brow slightly, "Even though you’re back, don’t rest yet. Immediately arrange for the capital to be protected; we can’t give them any chance."

"Alright, I’ll arrange it right away."

"It’s not that urgent; I’ve already arranged some people. You can make arrangements tomorrow morning."

"Alright, I’ll follow your lead. Fourth Brother, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go spend time with Grandfather and Grandmother."

"Take this strand of hair with you."

Mi Chenxuan laughed, "I forgot about that. I’ll immediately send someone to give this to Seventh Brother."

Tong Airui glared at him irritably.

After Mi Chenxuan went out, Tong Airui made a call to Yuan Hang and found out there was still no news on that end, massaged his forehead, and left the room.

The couple spent lively days with their family for a few days, and a week later, they returned to their jobs.

The time spent together as a family flies by quickly; soon it was September.

The children started school, and Zi Xi became a primary school student. After Zi Xi started school, Queen Haotian sent a royal tutor for him. Yi Luowa felt heartache that her son had to learn two curriculums at once; fortunately, Zi Xi liked studying.

"This son definitely isn’t mine." Yi Luowa often said this to Tong Airui.

Every time she said this, Tong Airui just smiled silently. Actually, he wanted to say that none of the three kids seemed biologically hers.

In the blink of an eye, a new year had arrived. This New Year was Tong Airui’s first after taking office. He held dual roles, wished everyone a happy new year on TV, and spoke about the new year’s plan. In his unpretentious words, the people saw hope. As the saying goes, new people’s new outlook, the new prime minister was sure to lead them to higher heights.

Long Che listened to his son’s speech, a smile appeared on his face. "The son is better than the father," he felt proud.

Tong Airui, true to his words, soon implemented the mutual benefit trade agreements signed during his first trip abroad. Many business opportunities showed returns within half a year, and the national GDP in these six months exceeded the total GDP of the previous year.

Tong Airui’s popularity soared, and Muta announced his abdication at this time. Leon ascended the throne, and the two brothers worked together to manage Xiayu. Xiayu, already formidable, reached new heights, and Fang Yao Continent looked at it with renewed respect.

After Muta’s abdication, Leng Chukang from Z country, You Jia from S country, John from Souya, and Compton from Raman also took over the relay baton from the older generation.

The younger generation taking office brought new prospects to Fang Yao Continent.

The older generation relaxed and occasionally gathered; Emperor Haotian grew increasingly envious. When others gathered, he would hand over affairs to Danton and also join the fun. However, he was never as free as the others, which left him somewhat uncomfortable.

"Where’s Danton?" Emperor Haotian angrily shouted for his son after yet another gathering.

Queen Haotian curled her lips, "You do this every time you go out. What’s the point?"

"It’s precisely because there’s no point that I’m looking for him. I just want to ask him what he intends to do! My health is poor; doesn’t he care a bit?"

Queen Haotian burst into laughter, "Stop shouting. Those two rascals know you’ll scold them upon returning, and they’ve already run off."

"Where did they run off to?"
