"This …" Song Hua Wu looked a little relaxed. What Xia Zhuoli said was right. If she went to the internal martial arts world, she would be in the dark. She didn't even know where to start. She could only hit a dead mouse by luck. The probability was too small.
"Moreover, the mission you are going to carry out this time is to find someone in the Inner Wulin. You can take this opportunity to inquire about Xiao Chen's news. Isn't it much easier than going by yourself?" Xia Zhili guided her patiently.
"Then … Alright! I'll set off now! " Song Huawu pondered for a moment and finally calmed down from her impulse. Thinking that what Xia Zhili said was quite reasonable, she simply nodded and agreed.
"Well, that's good. The car has been prepared outside. If you have any questions or need help during the mission, remember to call me or look for Chief Ling. "Xia Zhili nodded and gave a few more instructions.
Song Huawu stood up and left. Xia Zhili sent her off, then returned to his desk and stared blankly for a while.
Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen, where have you been? Chief Ling said on the surface that he was carrying out a mission, but I guess he actually doesn't know what you've been doing! Sigh, so many people are watching your movements, I hope you're safe!
Thinking of this, Xia Zhili shook his head and continued to devote himself to his work.
Song Huawu arrived at the Outer Wulin Guild by car and directly found Vice President Nian to explain the purpose of her visit. Vice President Nian arranged for her to go to the conference room and wait for the people from the Inner Wulin Guild to come over before everyone discussed this matter together.
"Aiya, isn't this our little friend Song Huawu? Why are you here? I haven't seen you for a long time, I thought you went missing! " As soon as she walked into the conference room, Song Huawu heard a familiar soft voice, which made her bones melt.
Song Huawu looked up and saw Miss Hong Zhu standing not far away. Her figure was enchanting and her eyes were full of affection. She was waving at her with a smile.
She didn't expect to meet Hong Zhu here, but thinking about it, she had a wide network after all. Song Huawu twitched the corner of her mouth as a response.
"Oh? You know each other? That's great! You guys go ahead and chat for a while. I'll continue to wait at the entrance. Once everyone from the Martial Arts Guild has arrived, we can discuss the problem of the missing cultivators! " With this, Vice Guild Leader Nian did not even have to go through the formalities of introducing each other. She smiled and excused herself to Song Hua Wu and Red Candle. She then turned around and left the meeting room, preparing to welcome the people from Inner Martial Arts Guild.
"Hehe, I didn't want to come either, but the higher-ups assigned me an important mission, so I had no choice but to come here personally." Song Huawu recalled Hong Zhu's question just now, and casually replied.
Without waiting for Hong Zhu to respond, she casually found a place to sit down, took out her phone, and began playing with it. All this time, she was thinking about how she could use this channel to inquire about Xiao Chen.
"Aiyo, don't be so cold! Weren't we on the same side when the Demonic Sect and the righteous sects held a summit? It's rare for us to meet, so why are you showing me such a bitter face? Can't we just have a nice chat? Don't tell me you don't want to see me? "Hong Zhu half-leaned on the windowsill and teased her with a smile.
Song Huawu could not tell whether Hong Zhu was sincere or just pretending, so she simply chose to play deaf and dumb, pretending not to hear anything and continuing to play with her phone with her head lowered.
Seeing Song Huawu's lack of interest and her attitude of not wanting to chat with him at all, Hong Zhu curled his lips in boredom. He could only take out his phone and scroll through his Moments, but he also looked absent-minded.
The two women played with their phones for a while, feeling quite bored. However, they did not know what to say to break the deadlock, and the atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly became a little awkward.
"That's right! Have you seen Xiao Chen recently? "
Not long after, the two women could not bear the loneliness any longer. They put away their phones at the same time and asked each other in unison.
"You first!"
Once again, they spoke in unison. The two women looked at each other and could not help but burst into laughter. The hostility in their hearts towards each other had also weakened a lot. Hong Zhu raised his hand and made a "please" gesture, indicating for Song Huawu to speak first.
"I haven't seen him for a long time … It's been more than a year. I haven't contacted Xiao Chen, and he didn't take the initiative to call me either. I originally thought that he was busy, but later I found that I couldn't find him. I don't know if he encountered some trouble, sigh!" Song Huawu's expression was a little sad. She lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers, pretending to be indifferent.
"Tsk tsk, it seems that the relationship between you two isn't very good! But this is also very normal. Xiao Chen is so outstanding, it's understandable that he has other women outside. You should be more open-minded and not limit yourself to small love affairs! "Hong Zhu shook his head. Even if Song Huawu's tone was calm, he could still hear the depression in it.
"That's not what I mean, it's just that …" Song Huawu wanted to explain, but in the end, she did not say anything and changed her tone to ask, "What about you? When was the last time you saw Xiao Chen? "
"Uh … Actually, I haven't seen him for a long time. Since the last time …" Hong Zhu paused, feeling that he should not mention the matter of Shen Jingxuan, so he calmly changed his words and said, "After meeting him at Little Hong's pharmacy, I haven't contacted him again. After all, I'm not familiar with him, so there's no need to harass him so often."
"Hong Zhu, that …" Song Huawu hesitated for a moment, then summoned her courage and said, "Your Hong Chamber of Commerce is so well-informed, and I've heard that you have an organization like the Hong Ying Group that specializes in gathering information. Are you still unable to find Xiao Chen's whereabouts by relying on these?"
At this time, Song Huawu was completely focused on Xiao Chen and did not pay much attention to Hong Zhu's strange behavior.
"You know quite a lot, huh!" Hong Zhu glanced at Song Huawu and spread his hands helplessly. "Although the Hong Chamber of Commerce and the Hong Ying Group do indeed have many channels in the martial arts world, they usually have a lot of daily affairs to deal with. Besides, Xiao Chen is not my husband, so what right do I have to mobilize all the resources of the Hong Family just to find him?"
However, the truth was not as Hong Zhu had said. In fact, she had secretly sent people to inquire about Xiao Chen's whereabouts many times, but the information she had obtained was very fragmented and very limited. After all, Xiao Chen had concealed his whereabouts too well, and even the Hong Ying Group could not do anything about it.
"Say, is it possible that Xiao Chen has been captured by the people of the martial arts world? Just like those missing cultivators this time. Otherwise, how could a living person like him suddenly disappear from the world without a trace? "Song Huawu asked worriedly.
