Qing Chenxi consoled Ren Shan, *but she had some concerns in her heart.*
Still, what was in Ren Shan's hand mattered more.
With a sigh, Qing Chenxi said, "Anyone bold enough to do this definitely isn't ordinary, so I need some time to make the connections."
"As long as my daughter is safe, I'd give up anything, Senior Sister Qing, I'm begging you," Ren Shan said, her eyes brimming with tears.
"Alright, leave it to me, I'll head back now and contact some people, see who exactly made a move," Qing Chenxi said with conviction.
After a few more words of comfort, Qing Chenxi left.
Ren Shan stared after her, looking utterly lost.
Now, she was gripped by dread; she truly had no news of her daughter.
*She wondered if her daughter was safe now.*
But yesterday, she'd told her daughter that once they were separated, if she was safe, she should have someone deliver a message.
She waited.
Waited for Gu An to come find her.
But today, he hadn't come.
Nor had Qing Chenxi sent word.
