NovelEnglishJiang Yao had been grinning when she spoke to Mr. Jiang just moments before. The next second, she was so dazed that it was as if she had lost her soul. Mr. Jiang was shocked when he saw her.
"What's wrong, Yaoyao?"
Mr. Jiang moved closer to Jiang Yao and waved his hand in front of her.
Jiang Yao looked up at her father. She was panicking, and there were even traces of tears in her eyes. "Dad..."
Jiang Yao could not say anything. She turned around and looked for Lu Xingzhi's figure in the living room. It was almost a subconscious action, as if finding Lu Xingzhi would make things different.

Mr. Jiang was also shocked when he saw Jiang Yao's appearance. He hurriedly stood up and shouted in the direction of the study, "Xingzhi! Xingzhi! Hurry up and come out! Yaoyao is looking for you. "
Lu Xingzhi quickly set down what he was working on in the study and ran out after hearing Mr. Jiang speak in a hurried and agitated manner. He stared at the person on the sofa as soon as he got to the door. Jiang Yao's misty eyes caught his attention right away.
"What's wrong?" Lu Xingzhi hurried over and hugged Jiang Yao. His index finger gently rubbed the corner of her eyes.
"Just now, when I was chatting with her, she was fine. I did not know what she saw on the phone, but she ended up like that." Mr. Jiang was also anxious.
As soon as Jiang Yao opened her mouth, her voice began to shake. Her shoulders shook as she handed the phone to Lu Xingzhi. "Zhou Xiaoxia's family had been murdered. Xiaoxiao, are you joking with me?"
Lu Xingzhi was also shocked by Jiang Yao's words. Lu Xiaoxiao often called her when Jiang Yao was still studying in Nanjiang City, so Lu Xiaoxiao was quite familiar with Jiang Yao's roommates. Sometimes, she would even talk to Jiang Yao's roommates over the phone.
Lu Xingzhi read through Jiang Yao's phone messages and immediately frowned. No matter how bold Lu Xiaoxiao was, she would not joke about that with Jiang Yao.
"I'll make a call and ask."
Lu Xingzhi patted Jiang Yao's shoulder. "Don't be anxious. Let's get some specific details."
Lu Xingzhi immediately called some people in Yuan City. After hearing Lu Xingzhi's words, Jiang Yao quickly returned to her senses. "I'll also call Du Chen. He is well-informed. He must know."
Jiang Yao's fingers trembled as she pressed Du Chen's phone. The phone rang for a long time, but no one picked up. Jiang Yao was like an ant on a hot pan, and her heart was anxious. It was not until the third ring that it was picked up. Jiang Yao grumbled, "Why didn't you pick up the phone?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDu Chen was stunned by Jiang Yao's tone. That was the first time he had heard Jiang Yao talk to him like that since he had known her for so long.
"You have something urgent to talk to me about?"
Jiang Yao would not have lost her cool in that manner if it were not for the pressing need to find him.
"What's the situation with the murder case in Yuan City?" Jiang Yao asked.
"Oh, that's what you're asking,"
After noticing Jiang Yao's anxiety and lack of frivolity, Du Chen replied bluntly, "The Zhou family were slaughtered. They were found that morning. All four members of the family were killed. The way they died was a little tragic, and their living room was stained with blood. You're pregnant now, so you'd better not look at the photos."
Du Chen knew what Jiang Yao was worried about, but it was the truth. "It was Zhou Xiaocheng's family, which is also your college roommate, Zhou Xiaoxia's family."
