Me and My Cold CEO Wife

Chapter 1788 - 1777: Reporting Safety

Bick patted his chest and assured that with their kind of people bustling around New York streets all day, finding someone could be considered one of their strengths."Let's hope so."

Mary didn't hold much hope for this; the Blood Clan had dispatched so many people, but there hasn't been any response yet.

"You should rest first."

With that, Mary walked through the wall.

In a conscious state, after witnessing this scene again, Bick walked toward the wall, feeling doubtful.

After bumping his head and getting a lump, he finally confirmed this wasn't magic, truly acknowledging the existence of ghosts.

"My god! There really are ghosts!"

...

After nearly three days of searching without rest, there was still no news of Ning Fan. Clan Leader Morgan finally gave up, even considering that Ning Fan might have died.

As for where the body might be?

Morgan had already figured it out.

Considering Hilde dared to desecrate the divine spirits, and lied under oath to the Holy Lord, it wouldn't be surprising.

It's possible that Ning Fan had already been purified into ashes by the Holy Light.

Besides, in such a vast city like New York, over such a long time, Ning Fan's body might have already been sent to the incinerator.

Every year, quite a few people die on the streets of New York, and for those deceased without identification, no one would waste police resources to investigate the cause of their death.

Especially an unidentified Asian, would surely be treated as an illegal immigrant and simply burned to settle the matter.

"What a pity!"

Morgan sighed, then called Andrew, "I'm leaving. Someone has already noticed I'm here."

Andrew apologized, "Having you worry over Alice's matter, it's been a burden to you, brother."

"Don't mention it. If it weren't for attracting undue attention, I would have wanted to stay a while longer."

With the prince's prominent status, wherever he goes, he attracts interest from large factions.

Especially at the critical moment when the Committee is being established, Morgan's three-day stay in New York has already drawn attention.

If Morgan didn't leave soon, spies flying in from everywhere would flood New York.

"I've already contacted Clan Leader Philip; he's already had the clan members swear a blood oath not to disclose the events of that day."

Morgan continued, "Our public stance is uniformly that Alice was captured by Hilde, and I intervened to rescue her."

Upon hearing this, Andrew breathed a sigh of relief.

Alice has already been targeted by the Sanctuary of Light. If the matter of her being the ancestor's reincarnation was revealed, other Alien Clans might secretly plot against her.

"Brother, when are you leaving? I'll see you off."

"Right now."

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of Black Robe Blood Clan members streamed in, collectively casting a teleportation array.

"Clan Leader, safe travels!"

Watching Morgan and his group disappear within the array, Andrew addressed an elegant lady, "Lady Audrey, I entrust my little daughter to your care."

The clan members who accompanied Clan Leader Morgan all departed using the teleportation magic.

Aside from Andrew and the four marquises led by Murphy, only the lady before him remained.

The lady before him seemed fragile and delicate, but she was a full-fledged duchess.

Due to this sudden event, Morgan considered Alice's female identity, making close protection challenging, hence specially assigning the most trusted female duchess to protect Alice.

"Duke Andrew, you're too kind. Belinda and I are like sisters; her child is like my child."

Noticing Andrew's gloomy demeanor, Audrey apologized, "Sorry for bringing up your sorrow."

Belinda was Andrew's wife, Alice's mother.

After giving birth to Alice, Belinda passed away, leaving Andrew with his greatest sorrow.

Andrew forced a smile, "It's all in the past, isn't it?"

"I won't dwell on this then. I'll go check on Alice."

Perceiving the awkward atmosphere, Audrey took the opportunity to excuse herself.

...

"Brother, you're finally awake; do you know how scared you made me?"

Ning Fan opened his eyes and was met with a big round face and a spray of spittle.

"How long did I sleep?"

Ning Fan groggily asked, unsure if the sleep was too long or if he was too hungry; in any case, he wasn't feeling very well.

"Three days. A full three days!"

Zhang Bo looked at him in disbelief, "If you hadn't looked so sound asleep, I would have called an ambulance for sure."

These past three days had truly put Zhang Bo through the wringer; he hadn't even left the house.

He stayed dressed, checking on Ning Fan every few hours, even setting alarms to avoid missing the time.

This was all out of worry that Ning Fan might die suddenly in his sleep.

Noticing the bloodshot eyes of Zhang Bo, Ning Fan apologized, "I'm sorry, Brother Bo, for troubling you."

"Why are we talking like that between brothers?"

Zhang Bo yawned and asked, "Do you feel unwell now? Anything you need me to do?"

"No need. I'm fine now. Brother Bo, thank you for your hard work; go rest for a while."

In reality, Ning Fan was starving to the point of seeing stars, but seeing Zhang Bo's overwhelming fatigue, he couldn't possibly trouble him further.

"Then I'll nap for a bit. Brother, call me if you need anything."

"Okay."

Not long after Zhang Bo left, Ning Fan heard thunderous snoring coming from the living room.

"This big brother truly has no equal."

Ning Fan chuckled, but soon showed a worried expression, neglecting his hunger as he anxiously ran to the telephone.

The day he set off, Ning Fan had already called Xu Ruolan to report his expected return time.

But now, three days have passed, and he hasn't communicated at all, imagining how worried Xu Ruolan must be.

Just as Ning Fan expected, when Xu Ruolan answered, the pent-up anxiety burst forth uncontrollably, and she started crying over the phone.

Deeply remorseful, Ning Fan spent a lot of effort and promised many unequal agreements before finally making Xu Ruolan smile.

Gaining Xu Ruolan's forgiveness and permission to stay longer, Ning Fan called Xu Xiaoqing.

The little girl reproached him for not keeping his promise, accusing him of being enamored by the allure of the outside world.

Yet Ning Fan could still hear suppressed sobbing over the phone.

"Such a stubborn girl."

After comforting the two sisters, Ning Fan called Chen Min.

Initially, he had promised to leave Nannan with her for a week, but now it has long exceeded the agreed time.

The call was quickly connected; Ning Fan expected Chen Min to chastise him for being an irresponsible guardian.

To Ning Fan's surprise, the other party was entirely unbothered, showing no concern for the matter.

After chatting with Nannan for a while, Ning Fan continued calling others.

Ouyang Feifei, Shadow Squad…

Huo Qiuran was still aboard that worldwide luxury cruise, having encountered no trouble along the way. If all goes well, in about ten days, she'll arrive in Zhonghai.

"That puts my mind at ease."
