Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

547 A Mysterious Call

Ran Xueyi snapped out of her daze as she stared at the phone. The call had already been disconnected, but the words Alina had told her before it was cut off shouldn't be an illusion.

Facing her husband, Ran Xueyi no longer cared about the ruined living room or the hole they punched through the TV.

Although it had been a long time since she spoke with Alina after returning to Hua Country, she still received updates about major events that happened in Ren Country. Additionally, Alina's voice when she warned her and told her to run was too real.

Seeing her only staring at her phone and not ready to answer him, Song Yu Han took their son in his arms and walked towards their bedroom. He made the little boy take his clothes off, ran the water in the bathtub, before turning it off when the water was just at the right height and warmth. Then, he told Little Zhanzhan to stay there and wait for him.

Little Zhanzhan was spoiled by his parents, and hearing that he would be bathing with them made him extremely happy, so he didn't even notice the oddness in his mother's expression.

Not long after, Song Yu Han returned to the living room. He frowned in worry when Ran Xueyi still stood in the middle of it, unmoving and seeming way too distracted to even hear him walk to her.

"Something happened. What is it?" Song Yu Han asked.

Ran Xueyi's eyes contracted slightly at his sudden closeness before relaxing, knowing it was him who stood behind her. Turning to face him, Ran Xueyi presented her phone to him, letting him see the screen still displaying the number and the name registered under it.

"I don't know what happened to her. Yu Han, I'm scared that something bad will happen to her." Her shoulders slumped down as her head fell on his sturdy shoulder. "What should I do?"

Although he had never talked to this friend that Ran Xueyi had mentioned to him in the past and had only seen her from a moderate distance, Song Yu Han stayed in the mansion next to the mansion this person named Alina lived in, together with his wife and son.

So, he naturally had an impression of this woman called Alina. The background check he conducted on her also reported that she was not an ordinary woman.

Alina was a mafia heiress. Her family was not a simple mafia organization either. They ruled the Southern and Eastern part of Ren Country and had a strong influence in the mafia world within the country.

For someone so young, Alina shouldn't have been able to lead the mafia organization her father left behind at such a young age. However, she proved that even a young teenager could be an expert in leading numerous people to success.

Most importantly, she's the person who looked after Ran Xueyi and Little Zhanzhan when he couldn't.

Song Yu Han would never underestimate or belittle someone like her.

"She... she told me to run. That they'll come and find me." Song Yu Han wrapped his arms around her, making sure that she would feel his presence so that she wouldn't despair more. He patted his hand on her back as he said, "It's alright. I'm sure your friend will be fine. I'll have someone locate her and send my people to protect her."

Song Yu Han paused as his eyes turned deep and colder than the ice in Antarctica. "Did she tell you who is looking for you?"

Ran Xueyi shook her head and replied, "No. She didn't tell me because the call was suddenly disconnected."

It was strange. So strange that Ran Xueyi wondered if everything that happened a couple of minutes ago and what she heard from the call were even real.

No matter how much she thought about it, the people that Alina was warning her about, who will find her, were shrouded in mystery.

Not only that, she had too many enemies, past and present, that she couldn't tell who would do this to her.

Besides, aside from Song Yu Han and Adelle, no one knew that she lived with Alina in Ren Country.

"A'Yu, Mommy, are you done talking?"

Coming from the bathroom, their son's sweet and childish voice echoed throughout the room.

Ran Xueyi and Song Yu Han looked at each other, before the latter let her go and told her, "Go and accompany Zhanzhan. I'll make a few calls and join you in a bit."

Ran Xueyi also knew that she couldn't let their son figure out that something was wrong. The little boy is too hypersensitive, especially when it comes to his mother, and he would immediately act differently from his actual age, pretending to be an understanding adult.

"Coming!" Ran Xueyi erased the last bit of worry and frustration from her face, and took a few breaths in and out to calm her palpitating heart.

She looked at Song Yu Han and said, "How do I look?"

Song Yu Han lifted his hands and wiped the tears staining her cheeks. "Beautiful."

Ran Xueyi obviously didn't want his personal commentary about her face. She furrowed her brows until Song Yu Han sighed.

"You don't look like someone who just cried." His attempt to make her smile failed.

Ran Xueyi finally nodded in satisfaction, turned around, and walked towards the bathroom.

Soon afterward, the sound of his wife and son playing inside the bathroom was transmitted inside his ears.

Unlike the calmness he showed to Ran Xueyi, as soon as her figure disappeared inside the bathroom, web-like cracks appeared on his calm face.

His eyes turned colder while his fist clenched tightly until the edges were painted white.

A full minute after, he reached into his pockets, retrieved his phone, and called Guo Yun.

"Get our men ready. Find someone for me and ensure their safety is secured."

To make his wife cry and worry so much, Song Yu Han hoped that whoever made this happen had several necks for them to wash as he wouldn't let them off so easily.
