Wealthy Beauty in the 60s-Chapter 639 - 641: When It Rains, It Pours

Gao Jiaxing was also on the boat at that time, and the female kidnapper had already fallen into his hands. Shitou and the other children on the boat had been rescued, and seeing Shitou safe and sound, Gao Jiaxing breathed a huge sigh of relief, God knows how worried he had been.

But now, Gao Jiaxing’s mind was no longer there; he was wondering where Xia Xiao was, as he couldn’t find her anywhere on the boat.

Shitou moved his lips, but said nothing.

Now Shitou also didn’t know whether Xia Xiao was still around; Xia Xiao hadn’t informed him, and he didn’t know where she was either.

Shitou said to Gao Jiaxing, "Grandpa, you should call Grandma and send her a message."

Gao Jiaxing had already sent messages and made quite a few calls, but there had been no response, and now Gao Jiaxing stared at his phone, squinting; Xia Xiao’s phone was no longer reachable.

By this time, Xia Xiao had already left the boat. She hadn’t expected it to rain that day, and it poured heavily. The cold sea breeze blew fiercely, but Xia Xiao couldn’t stay on the boat any longer; she had to return to the shore and then get Professor Yang’s car out, otherwise it would be hard to explain everything later.

Fortunately, the ship hadn’t sailed far, otherwise, out in the vast sea, Xia Xiao might have been trapped in the sea, possibly even falling into the sea as soon as she got out.

Once at the shore, Xia Xiao went to a secluded place and got Professor Yang’s car out, then sat in the car and tried to call Gao Jiaxing but realized her phone was out of credit.

Oh, Xia Xiao slapped her forehead; she really didn’t know what to say.

Xia Xiao could only drive out to see if she could run into Gao Jiaxing on the road, but hardly had she driven out when the car ran out of gas.

Her luck couldn’t be this bad, could it? Xia Xiao was speechless; she went to the trunk but didn’t see any spare fuel.

Heaven, Professor Yang didn’t even have a spare can of fuel.

Xia Xiao was very annoyed; she had her phone, and there were two more in her space, but the problem was the card was out of credit, so having a phone was useless.

If only she had prepared some recharge cards earlier, Xia Xiao felt helpless at that moment.

Thinking that the ship would come back from the sea later, she would then go from the space and get Shitou to come find her; otherwise, in the middle of the night, with heavy rain falling, Xia Xiao had no place to find a phone booth or buy phone cards.

Xia Xiao could only wait in the car now. Having followed Shitou since noon, Xia Xiao was also a bit tired. Before, she hadn’t felt hungry, but now that the huge stone pressing on her heart had landed, hunger and fatigue swept over her.

At that moment, Gao Jiaxing and the others were still at sea. Xia Xiao first went into her space to find food. She had originally planned to rest in her space, but she was afraid that Gao Jiaxing and the others might not see her when they arrived, so Xia Xiao simply laid down on the steering wheel to rest.

Because it was a secluded seafront, there were hardly any people around at that moment, and fortunately there was the space, which gave Xia Xiao some confidence; otherwise, on such a night, in pitch darkness, with the leaves rustling loudly in the wind and the car windows already fogged up, Xia Xiao wouldn’t deny being scared.

In the end, it was Gao Jiaxing’s side who found Xia Xiao. As soon as he disembarked, Gao Jiaxing delegated all matters to Feiyang, and took people to find Xia Xiao himself.

From the messages on Xia Xiao’s phone, it was clear she was nearby, so Gao Jiaxing searched the surrounding area.

It was hard to find someone on the seaside during a downpour. Gao Jiaxing was very worried but fortunately, this part of the shore wasn’t too vast; Gao Jiaxing had people spread out to search.

It was already four o’clock, dawn was approaching, and after the rainstorm, the rain was letting up. Gao Jiaxing saw a car on the path and slowly approached it, still cautious out of instinct, but there was no movement from the car. Once near, Gao faintly saw someone leaning over the steering wheel through the car window.

He wiped the water stains off the window with his hand and could see the person inside clearly. Gao Jiaxing became excited, "Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao."

The sound of heavy pounding came from the window, Xia Xiao hadn’t been sleeping soundly and was feeling troubled being stuck there. Seeing Gao Jiaxing, she rubbed her eyes and once she realized it was Gao Jiaxing, Xia Xiao rolled down the window, exclaiming happily, "Brother Gao, did you rescue Shitou?"

Gao Jiaxing reached his hand toward the car door, with a click, the door opened, and he immediately sat inside.

Xia Xiao moved to the passenger seat, making room for Gao Jiaxing, but in an instant, she found herself enveloped in his arms, "You had me so worried."

"Is Shitou okay? Is he hurt?" Xia Xiao asked.

"Shitou is fine," Gao Jiaxing hugged Xia Xiao tighter, relieved.

"It’s good that Shitou is fine. I was worried that you wouldn’t make it on time. This is Professor Yang’s car, it ran out of gas, and my phone is out of credit, too, just like it always rains when there’s a leak in the roof." Xia Xiao felt these words truly reflected her current mood, but fortunately, Gao Jiaxing had found her.

Soon enough, one of Gao Jiaxing’s men brought a can of gasoline, and Gao Jiaxing drove Xia Xiao away.

Xia Xiao handed Gao Jiaxing her thermos from her bag, "Brother Gao, have some water. Are you hungry? I still have a piece of bread?"

"You eat it," Gao Jiaxing took the water and drank a few sips.

"I’ve already eaten one," Xia Xiao held the bread to Gao Jiaxing’s lips, and he took a big bite. He was extremely hungry, but this level of hunger was bearable for them.

As Gao Jiaxing drove, Xia Xiao fed him bread. Now that Shitou and the other children were saved, the tension between them eased, allowing them to chat more relaxedly.

They drove back to the Capital and met up with Feiyang. Upon arrival, Shitou immediately came running, worried: "Granny, Xiao Shan Yue has a fever."

Xia Xiao was startled and went to see Shanyue with Shitou. Shanyue indeed had a fever, but other sick children were also present.

They were all being taken to the hospital now. Xia Xiao gave Shanyue a sip of spring water, and Shanyue, along with the fevered children, were sent to the hospital for treatment.

The children who were not feverish were settled elsewhere.

Gao Jiaxing, Feiyang, and the rest had lots of matters to attend to and needed to interrogate the captured kidnappers. Xia Xiao and Shitou were alone, so she shared what she had heard.

The surveillance footage at the seaside villa had definitely been destroyed. Those two kidnappers were seasoned criminals who did everything cleanly, but unfortunately, they had encountered Xia Xiao’s "space" and were quickly caught.

Thirty million, Shitou said with a chilling gaze, "That woman took fifteen million, I’ll take care of it, she shouldn’t be alive."

Xia Xiao didn’t say anything; for kidnappers and human traffickers, she felt they deserved no sympathy, no matter how they were killed.

Eventually, the female kidnapper was killed, and Shitou took the forty million. He also found an account, but unfortunately, the account’s information was untraceable.

Shitou also inquired about the "Black Hawk" that Xia Xiao mentioned, but the details were ominous. Hearing about it, Feiyang frowned, "Black Hawk?"
