Wealthy Beauty in the 60s-Chapter 640 - 642: Return from Calamity

"Yes, Dad, do you know this person?" Shitou asked.

Feiyang nodded, Black Hawk, he indeed knew about him, and then said, "There is an international killer organization, and Black Hawk is one of its members, and even ranks tenth on the killer leaderboard. I’ve had a few encounters with him; the guy is slippery, so it’s normal that you can’t find any account information on him."

Knowing who it was made things easier. Shitou began to look up information on this killer organization. Xia Xiao had already stopped paying attention to this side of things; she was at the Special Forces Military District Hospital looking after those children.

Xiao Shanyue, running a fever and on an IV drip, looked at Xia Xiao and asked, "Grandma Xia, where is Brother Shitou?"

"He’ll come over in a bit." Xia Xiao touched Xiao Shanyue’s head and asked, "Do you miss your dad?"

Xiao Shanyue remained silent for a while, then nodded her head.

Xia Xiao then called Dr. Xi. The call connected, and it was Dr. Xi.

"Academician Xia."

"Xiao Shanyue has been rescued and is at the Special Forces Military District Hospital, currently running a fever."

As soon as Xia Xiao finished speaking, Dr. Xi hesitated a bit and said, "Thank you, Academician Xia. It’s really great that Shanyue has been saved, but I can’t make it over right now. My partner is pregnant and also at the hospital for a check-up..."

Xia Xiao didn’t let Dr. Xi finish speaking. She hung up the phone, unwilling to talk more with Dr. Xi. After all, she had already informed him. Whether Dr. Xi came or not was his business now.

Looking at Xiao Shanyue asleep on the hospital bed with IV drips and still with dried tear stains at the corner of her eyes, Xia Xiao let out a soft sigh.

By noon, Shitou had come as well.

Xiao Shanyue woke up and was very happy to see Shitou. Shitou asked her, "Why did you run out of school?"

"Auntie said there were no batteries in the flashlight at home, so I went to buy some."

As soon as Xiao Shanyue finished speaking, Shitou looked at her and asked, "Did she tell you to buy them?"

Xiao Shanyue shook her head, "I wanted to buy them myself. Dad just gave me some pocket money, and both dad and auntie were busy, so I went to buy them."

Xia Xiao thought Dr. Xi should have hired a nanny to look after Xiao Shanyue instead. Dr. Xi certainly wasn’t short on money, but now it was clear that Dr. Xi had left Xiao Shanyue to the school’s care and did not bother with her.

And with Assistant Qian pregnant at this time, it was quite apparent that there would be a stepmother, and consequently, also a stepfather. No one knew what would happen to Xiao Shanyue in the future.

But fortunately, students in the Genius Youth Class didn’t have to pay for anything, and students from the Genius Youth Class studying at Technology University didn’t need to pay tuition fees either. So Xiao Shanyue didn’t need to worry about future tuition and living expenses.

The kidnapper gang had been busted, and the boatload of children had been rescued. Now Gao Jiaxing and others were still tracking the traffickers’ information, including that international killer organization.

The event was in the news on the same day. Although Gao Jiaxing and Feiyang had set out to rescue Shitou, by working with the police they had cracked many kidnapping cases and rescued hundreds of children and teenagers, which was certainly a significant feat.

Those kidnapped children were now safe, and those who had been ill had made it through the danger. After recovery, their families came one by one to claim them.

However, there turned out to be a batch of children from an orphanage. This unscrupulous orphanage was investigated immediately, and a wave of actions against human traffickers and strict inspections of orphanages swept across the country.

And Shitou became a little hero in the eyes of the children. Some of the children added high praise for Shitou in their essays about their kidnapping ordeal.

Shitou had once again become quite famous.

Ning Hui and Li Min also heaved a huge sigh of relief. Upon seeing Shitou, they immediately embraced him and wouldn’t let go. Watching them, Xiao Shan Yue’s eyes filled with thick envy, gazing eagerly, but then the next second, perhaps thinking of her own dad and mom, her expression instantly turned gloomy.

After this kidnapping ordeal, Shitou had grown up a bit, and his mindset had undergone some changes.

Shitou also knew that this time, without Xia Xiao and the space, his chances of survival would have been slim.

Even if he had managed to cut the ropes at the seaside villa, with Xiao Shan Yue in tow, he couldn’t ensure they would both safely escape the predicament.

Thus, this harrowing experience was a blessing in disguise for Shitou. Although he was vigilant, without experience, one can’t truly understand.

Xiao Shan Yue had been sick for a week, and during that time, Dr. Xi had called to check on her, but it was already eleven o’clock at night, and Xiao Shan Yue had gone to bed.

After Xiao Shan Yue was discharged from the hospital, Xia Xiao brought her back to the Gao family home, where Beibei was also present. As soon as she saw Shitou return, she gave him a fierce hug.

"Congratulations, big brother, on your triumphant return."

At Beibei’s words, everyone laughed. Xia Xiao patted Beibei’s head and asked, "Who taught you to say that?"

"That’s what they say on TV." Beibei giggled.

Li Min spoke helplessly, "Watching those fantasy dramas all day has influenced her, and she’s started slacking off on her studies."

"Beibei, if you don’t study, you’ll fall behind me," Shitou said.

Beibei pouted, "Big brother, you’re so talented, I can’t keep up with you anyway."

Shitou responded, "Xiao Shan Yue is even younger than you. Don’t let yourself be outperformed by her."

At those words, Beibei glared, defiantly taking Xiao Shan Yue’s hand, saying, "Come on, let’s see who’s better."

Instantly, a crowd of kids hustled off to the room.

With the children gone, the adults laughingly shook their heads. Xia Xiao turned to Ye Jia and asked, "How’s Feiyue’s job going?"

Ye Jia replied, "Feiyue just called back. The appointment has been issued, and he’ll be home shortly."

That was quick. Xia Xiao felt a sense of reluctance at the thought of her second son, daughter-in-law, and grandson leaving.

In the evening, Gao Jiaxing, Feiyang, Feiyue, Feiyi and Feiteng all returned, and Feiling came over with the kids.

The family gathered, Feiyue’s appointment had been announced, and he had booked a flight for the next day—it was all a bit rushed.

The next day, everyone saw Feiyue and his family off. Xiao Shu, Shitou, Beibei, and the younger brothers and sisters said their goodbyes, then hugged Gao Guoqiang and Zheng Xianghong tightly, as well as Gao Jiaxing and Xia Xiao with reluctance, saying, "Grandpa, Grandma, Grandad, Granny, uncles, aunties, I will come back with my parents. Take good care of yourselves at home."

"Everyone take care," Zheng Xianghong nodded.

"When you’re away, listen to your parents, be safe, and don’t wander off. Wherever you go, tell your parents," Xia Xiao stroked Xiao Shu’s head, her concern and affection for all her grandkids no less than for Shitou.

"Take care." Feiyue’s eyes showed his reluctance, but he knew he had his own path to follow. This was his home, and he would return.

Everyone waved, watching as Feiyue’s family got into the car, which Feiteng drove to the airport.

The car slowly pulled away until it was out of sight, and only then did everyone withdraw their gazes. Feiyang and Li Min were also returning to the military, and Beibei was feeling down after yesterday’s talent comparison with Xiao Shan Yue, who might look frail and unassuming, but was impressively capable when it came to her studies.
