Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 1258 - 1236: Returning Home Early

Every day upon waking, checking Weibo has become one of Chu Xinyue’s daily habits.

Occasionally, she engages in conversations with netizens.

The Royal Family’s PR staff advises her to maintain some mystery and avoid interacting with fans.

But she disagrees, often sneakily responding to a few messages.

Perhaps it’s this approachability that has attracted more and more fans to her support group.

She never anticipated that she, perceived as aloof and reserved in real life, the second young lady of the Chu Family, would amass such a following online.

After browsing Weibo for a while, she was about to set down her tablet when she noticed a local news report.

"On a street in West City District, a bus explosion occurred last night.

Despite the driver’s timely evacuation of passengers after noticing the fire, several people were injured.

The bus explosion has been ruled out as being caused by weather conditions or vehicle component issues.

According to roadside surveillance footage, it shows that a foreign male passenger placed a package on the bus and got off shortly before the explosion.

Upon inspection, the source of the explosion is very likely the unknown package left by the foreign passenger.

Currently, a terrorist bombing attack is not ruled out.

The military and police have secured the road segment and initiated a citywide search for suspects and other areas, preventing potential further bomb incidents.

Citizens are advised to prioritize safety in their travels and minimize visits to public spaces.

If any unidentified objects or suspicious individuals or activities are noticed, please evacuate immediately and report to the police."

...

Chu Xinyue’s breath caught.

Have the frequent domestic terrorist incidents from years ago started again?

It turns out he’s been immersed in military affairs these days, not avoiding her, but handling pressing official duties?

Xiaotao, standing behind, also saw the news and involuntarily gasped.

She lost her appetite instantly, stood up, just as military boots clattered at the door.

A guard walked in, seeing Chu Xinyue, he saluted.

He is Ya Chen’s personal guard, who has been with Ya Chen at the military base and not returned these days.

Thinking of the news she just read, her heart inexplicably uneasy: "Why did you return alone, where’s the crown prince?"

"His Highness is still in the army handling affairs, he sent me back to remind you that things outside are not stable recently, so please avoid going out. If you must, ensure you take bodyguards with you."

Chu Xinyue’s brow twitched: "Is it because of last night’s bus explosion incident?"

The guard nodded seeing her aware: "Yes."

Xiaotao couldn’t help but ask: "Has a terrorist attack really happened again in the city? Wasn’t that TM terrorist organization suppressed years ago?"

The guard didn’t hide the truth: "In fact, over the past couple of years, the organization has revived, and there are signs of infiltration into the country. His Highness has been dealing with this issue these two years, and because preventive measures were taken, terrorists have been deterred from taking reckless actions, so the domestic situation has largely remained calm. However, lately, it seems to be simmering again."

Chu Xinyue froze.

Since Ya Chen underwent surgery and returned home, he’s spent most of his time holed up in the Royal Office Building.

She thought that his so-called busy official business was just his distaste for her, a means to avoid her, but turns out he really was busy.

These two years, domestic circumstances have indeed been tumultuous and tense.

He is a high-ranking official of the nation, the crown prince, unlike ordinary citizens who can ignore the matter, but instead must sacrifice personal leisure and family reunion time.

Given his blindness, he likely spends more time on official business than a sighted person would.

Yet she pined away over his absence, wallowing in self-pity, even suspecting he was just making excuses.

She even resorted to self-harm to catch his attention.

It was absolutely foolish.

While he was diligently engaged in state affairs, what was she doing?

Getting in his way!!

Her throat shifted.

The guard saw her silence and quickly said: "Please don’t be upset with His Highness for not telling you. This is top-level military intelligence, apart from the Prime Minister and a few senior military officials, even His Majesty is unaware. Such sensitive information, if divulged, could cause public unrest. If it weren’t for last night’s terror attack becoming known widely, I wouldn’t dare inform you now."

Chu Xinyue nodded: "I understand."

Understanding, the guard sighed in relief: "Good, I won’t disturb you further and must return to the military base."

As the guard prepared to leave, she abruptly called out: "Wait."

The guard paused, stopping in his tracks: "Any further instructions?"

"Help me tell him to stay safe. Get some rest."

She lowered her head slightly, seeming somewhat embarrassed yet still gently parted her lips.

The guard broke into a smile and promptly replied: "Certainly!"

Watching the guard’s hurriedly departing back, the embarrassment on Chu Xinyue’s face faded, replaced by a slight furrow. She picked up her phone and called the Chu Family.

Chu Yanhan and Jiayi had also seen the news early on.

Before the news could finish, Huo Zhenyang’s urgent call came through, obviously he had seen it as well.

Jiayi had just reassured someone, promising to return home as soon as possible, while Chu Yanhan received Chu Xinyue’s call.

Though terrorist attacks are rare events, Chu Xinyue advised her father and Jiayi to return home early for safety.

She vividly recalls the terror incidents from years ago.

TM organization’s terrorists would not only target civilians but also affluent areas and wealthy families in Nanga, involving kidnapping, extortion, and brutal execution.

The Chu Family is related to the Royal Family and is a Duke family, definitely among the top in Nanga.

What if they get targeted?

She doesn’t want her father and Jiayi to risk staying here, even if the risk is only one percent.

With the unstable situation in the Capital, even if Chu Yanhan isn’t worried for his own safety, he has to consider Jiayi’s safety and calm the worries of Xia Tingxuan back home. He promptly instructed the servants to book a flight for early tomorrow.

Although Jiayi was reluctant to leave the newly established branch, he recognized that S Country is somewhat unstable, hence he can’t linger any longer.

With Xinyue’s health stabilized and the Ya Family being a major Royal Family clan, even if internal strife occurs, those terrorists—no matter how arrogant—could never threaten the Royal Family.

Thus, the father-daughter duo wasn’t worried for Xinyue, hung up, and went upstairs to pack.

*****

Military base.

Anti-Terrorism Command Office.

Ya Chen stood with his hands behind him, by the floor-to-ceiling window.

After a night-long emergency response meeting with several officers, faint blue shadows lined his eyes.

Long lashes hung over lower eyelids, casting a weary shadow.

The guard knocked on the door and entered, reporting, he’d returned to inform Chu Xinyue, advising against visiting public places recently.
