Chapter: 1002

He finished speaking and asked again in a soft voice: "Is it because of Mom's thing?"

Xiao Ren was silent for a moment, let out a deep sigh, and nodded her head: "It's already been almost 30 hours now, and we've received no news at all. I'm really afraid that something unexpected might happen to Mom."

As she spoke, tears suddenly welled up in her eyes again: "And so many big things have happened at home. Originally, I was counting on Dad to be with me through it all, but I never thought he would......"

Xiao Ren couldn't bring herself to say another word, and her emotions suddenly got the better of her, causing her to sob out loud.

Li Chen hurriedly stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms, gently patting her back while consoling her in her ear: "Don't cry, old lady. Mom is definitely fine. Don't worry, I'm giving you my word."

Xiao Ren sniffled and asked: "What can you guarantee with? You don't know where she is or what she's going through or if she's encountered any danger......"

Li Chen said sincerely: "Don't worry. Since I've promised you, I'll definitely make sure nothing happens to her. I'll go find some capable friends and ask them for help."

Xiao Ren asked hastily: "Really? Will they agree to help?"

Li Chen said with a smile: "Let's just go and take a look. If someone agrees to help, their abilities will be stronger than ours, and their connections will be wider too. Maybe they can help us figure out what's going on."

Xiao Ren let out a sigh of relief and thanked him gratefully: "Li Chen, that's really too kind of you!"

Li Chen smiled again: "Foolish girl, I'm your husband, why are you being so polite to me?"

As he spoke, he quickly patted her shoulder and said: "Let's go get something to eat first. After we're done eating, I'll go out and look for my friends to see if they're willing to help. If they're not willing, I'll ask them to help. Anyway, I promise you that Mom will definitely be safe when she returns!"

Xiao Ren nodded heavily, feeling a lot more at ease in her heart.

Before this, she had been feeling anxious about Mom's disappearance, and the whole family was worried except for herself. Now, seeing Li Chen being so determined to stand by her side and willing to help, her heart felt much more comforted.

Li Chen looked at Xiao Ren with a sympathetic expression, seeing that she was still worried about Ma'er's disappearance. If they didn't get Ma'er back quickly, something big might happen at the prison before long. His wife might not be able to take it anymore.

So he had already decided in his heart to take action tomorrow. He had thought of a plan and hoped that by the day after tomorrow, he could bring Ma'er back.

Comforted Xiao Ren, Li Chen brought her to the floor below.

The restaurant on the floor had already cleaned up a table full of food and wine. On the side, Paul opened one bottle of well-preserved Moutai Chenjiu and saw Li Chen and Xiao Ren coming down, smiled and asked Li Chen, "Mr. Li, do you want to drink two cups?"

Li Chen smiled slightly and said, "Okay, then I'll join you both."

On the side, Xiao Ren whispered softly, "You're going to go find your friend later, aren't you? If not, don't drink wine, or it won't be good for driving."

Li Chen laughed and said, "No problem, I'll finish drinking wine and then take a taxi over. Paul, sir, this is your first time coming home, so I have to accompany him to drink two cups."

When Xiao Ren heard this, she nodded slightly and said, "Okay, just don't drive after you're done drinking."

At that moment, Xiao Changkun was carrying a pot of West Lake beef soup from the kitchen and walked out, saw Xiao Ren, and laughed, saying, "Ah, Ren, wait until later to savor your aunt's cooking. I just had two bites, so I can say it in three words: it's too awesome!"

Xiao Ren didn't have an appetite for food at all, let alone this dish, which was made by her mother's rival, so she didn't want to eat at all.

However, out of consideration, she could only sit down at the table. JrNovels.com
