Marrying a childless superior, she became pregnant and lived a carefree life in the 1970s.

Chapter 438 Sheng Zexi Disappears

"Axi, you're back." Sang Yuwan smiled at Sheng Zexi.

Sheng Zexi was stunned as he stared at his mother.

This look...

It's too familiar, and it's also too...long-lost.

"Mom has regained her memory."

“My Ah Xi has suffered all these years.” Sang Yuwan reached out and touched Sheng Zexi’s hair.

In just one moment, Sheng Zexi's eyes reddened instantly.

In fact, Sheng Zexi is not a very sentimental person; in fact, one could say he can be quite ruthless at times.

He only invests his emotions in the people and things he cares about.

He's not one to cry easily either.

I've cried very few times since I was a child.

In the past, when he had conflicts with his father and was beaten by his father using family discipline, he never shed a single tear.

Even if seriously injured during a mission.

He persevered through gritted teeth, without shedding a tear, nor feeling exhausted or wanting to give up.

But at this moment, Sheng Zexi couldn't hold back any longer.

Was he having a hard time after his mother "passed away"?

Actually, it's both sad and not sad.

What's not so sad is that he ultimately comes from a well-off family. Even though his mother passed away and he had conflicts with his father, he still has his maternal grandparents to protect him.

Sadly, he was just a teenager when his mother passed away, and his father quickly remarried.

In this house, he felt like an outsider, and the woman wanted to erase all traces of him and his mother.

However, whether it is a teenager or an elderly person, the importance of a mother is self-evident.

Even in his old age, a frail and elderly man, he still longed for his mother's love and protection.

Sheng Zexi looked at Sang Yuwan with reddened eyes, his voice choked with emotion, "I thought you would never remember me."

"How could that be? My child, my Ah-Xi, is my precious treasure."

Sang Yuwan took out the pocket watch around her neck and opened it.

“Look, Mom has always worn it, and she has always remembered it.”

Sheng Zexi smiled, even though his eyes were red.

Is it a treasure?

so good.

Sheng Zexi stepped forward and gently hugged Sang Yuwan. "Mom, it's so good that you're back."

From now on, I will be a child with a mother to protect me.

"Hey, what are you all doing at the door? Come in and eat!" Grandma Sang called out from the courtyard.

“Okay,” Sheng Zexi replied, leading his mother inside.

When it was time to eat, Sheng Zexi learned that the treatment had gone very smoothly.

Sang Yuwan's memories were all restored.

When Sang Yuwan looks at them now, there is no longer any sense of unfamiliarity.

Originally, Sang Yuwan lived with her parents in the Sang family compound.

However, Sang Yuwan couldn't wait to see Sheng Zexi as soon as he got off work.

So, Grandma Sang suggested that everyone have dinner together in the courtyard tonight.

Originally, Sheng Xinhao wasn't invited, but this man shamelessly showed up.

Knowing that he was the grandfather of Xingxing, Yueyue, and Tuantuan, and had a good relationship with the children, they didn't want to send him away.

So tonight, it can be considered a family reunion dinner for them; at least, everyone was there.

Sheng Xinhao stared at the scene before him, wishing time could stand still at this moment, so that he would still believe he and Sang Yuwan were husband and wife.

But he knew that Sang Yuwan had no feelings for him now.

But it's okay, Sheng Xinhao said he won't give up.

If there's no affection, then cultivate it!
Awan didn't like him, so he pursued her again.

In her youth, Sang Yuwan was moved by him and fell in love with him. It's possible now too!
Anyway, he'll try anything, no matter how small!
Sheng Xinhao's eyes were full of determination and resolve!

The look in his eyes as he gazed at Sang Yuwan was also filled with deep affection.

She even gave Sang Yuwan a flirtatious wink when she looked over.

Sheng Xinhao: At my age, I'm still pretty well-preserved and have a handsome face. I don't know how many women in Beijing, whether middle-aged or young, are interested in me.

Sang Yuwan, who had just picked up a piece of meat, dropped it instantly after being startled by Sheng Xinhao's look.

I couldn't help but get goosebumps all over my body.

Sang Yuwan: I heard that this man had a problem with his hand before, but it was cured. Now... his eyes are having problems too?
……

After that, everyone's lives seemed to settle down.

Everyone got busy in their respective fields.

But at this moment, Sheng Zexi went on another mission.

Gu Jianing thought this was just like any other ordinary mission.

Sheng Zexi will be back soon.

Unexpectedly, half a month has passed, and Sheng Zexi still hasn't returned.

However, Gu Jianing wasn't that worried at first.

After all, it was common for Sheng Zexi to be on missions for ten days or half a month.

This time, however, a month has passed, and Sheng Zexi still hasn't returned.

Gu Jianing couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Gu Jianing had no idea what mission Sheng Zexi was going to undertake this time.

These are all confidential.

Even if Gu Jianing is his wife, he cannot say it.

But Sheng Zexi said before going on the mission that he would be back in about half a month.

Now, a month has passed, half a month later than initially expected, and there is still no news, which makes Gu Jianing even more worried.

Gu Jianing's intuition told her that something was amiss.

The children in the family are also looking for their father.

In the end, Gu Jianing went to the Sheng family's old house, found Sheng Xinhao, and explained the situation.

"Dad, could you ask him for me? Is Xi-ge coming back soon?"

Sheng Xinhao also knew that Sheng Zexi's mission this time seemed to have taken a little longer than usual.

It's understandable that Gu Jianing would be worried.

"Okay, I'll go ask and let you know if I find out."

"Okay, thank you Dad."

Although Sheng Xinhao has retired, he still has certain information channels.

Soon, Gu Jianing saw Sheng Xinhao again, but...

Seeing Sheng Xinhao's slightly somber expression, Gu Jianing's heart skipped a beat.

"Dad, has something happened to Xi-ge?" Gu Jianing asked anxiously.

His eyes were filled with uncontrollable worry.

"Something did happen."

Sheng Xinhao picked out the things he could say and said them.

Through Sheng Xinhao's explanation, Gu Jianing learned that Sheng Zexi's mission this time was related to a drug cartel.

This time, it's about tracking down and arresting a drug cartel that's very active on the border.

Unexpectedly, the drug lord actually noticed something.

They even forced Sheng Zexi and the others into the forest.

"...After realizing that escape was hopeless, they put gasoline in the forest and set it on fire."

Now, the raging fire has engulfed the entire forest.

Sheng Zexi and his group, along with the drug lords, were trapped inside.

"...We have sent people to provide support and search, but so far there has been no news."
