Chapter 3780: Oh Right, Qiao Nian Is Here Too
Not the least bit surprised, Di Xicheng instructed the secret guards, “Deal with those people. Do it cleanly. Don’t let anyone catch you red-handed.”
“Yes.”
The secret guards were used to it and went out to do their work.
Di Xicheng’s eyes narrowed as he got up for a breather.
Just as he opened the door, he bumped into Old Madam Xie, who happened to e out at that moment.
Old Madam Xie’s eyes lit up when she saw him. She smiled and strode over to greet him. “Young Master Di, I finally bumped into you. I have something to talk to you about.”
Di Xicheng did not want to see her, but since they bumped into each other, he had to give her face. “Matriarch wants to talk to me?”
Old Madam Xie could tell he was being perfunctory. She smiled and suppressed her disfort. “I’ve found him.”
Di Xicheng did not expect this. He smiled in disbelief. “Oh? Matriarch, you’re not mistaken, right? So many people have been searching these few days, but we can’t find him. You’ve been staying in the hotel all this time, but you actually found him.”
Old Madam Xie told him how she found the person. Then, she said, “They’re hiding in a house in the town. The building is too dilapidated, with many miscellaneous people living there. If we go straight to catch them, we might alert them and let them run away.”
She was slightly smug. “So I thought of a way to send them a message, saying that his parents have arranged to meet him in the small forest. The child must miss his parents. We just have to wait for them to get there before sweeping in.”
Di Xicheng looked at the old lady’s fierce and mean expression. He thought of something, and his eyes filled with mockery. The corners of his lips curled up slightly. “As expected of someone from the independent continent.”
Old Madam Xie did not catch the mockery in his words and thought that Di Xicheng was praising her. Smiling, she tidied her head scarf slightly before saying, “If we eradicate the last hidden time bomb this time, I hope Young Master Di can put in a few good words for the Empress.”
“Of course.”
Di Xicheng agreed readily.
Old Madam Xie secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Her attitude became warmer, and she told him the agreed-upon time and place.
In order to lower the grandfather’s and grandson’s guard, Old Madam Xie cunningly scheduled the meeting at six in the morning.
People were the most relaxed and easily swayed at this time. It also matched the mentality of parents wanting to see their children.
After all, no one would meet in the forest in the middle of the night. It was too dark to see clearly.
“If they don’t e…”
“They’ll definitely e.” Old Madam Xie was very confident. “I told the person who sent the message to add that his adoptive mother is sick. She’s seriously ill and only wants to see him one last time.”
Even if it was fake, that was simply how people were. Their hearts would soften when kinship was involved.
Once their hearts softened, they would take the risk.
Di Xicheng’s lips curled up, and his usually cold eyes saw her in a new light. “I didn’t expect Matriarch Xie to be so… capable.”
This time, Old Madam Xie could tell the other party was mocking her. Her smile faded, but she didn’t dare to flare up because of the other party’s identity.
She was secretly annoyed.
What did Di Xicheng mean?
She had thought of a way to lure them out, but he was still being sarcastic. How ridiculous!
Fortunately, Di Xicheng did not say anything else and started walking. “I’ll inform everyone to make arrangements and prepare to reel in the net.”
He did not forget to say to Old Madam Xie, who was standing there, without looking back, “Oh, right, Qiao Nian is here too. We have to hurry up.”
