Chapter 716: Mother Zhuang’s Whereabouts Has Been Found! (1)
He said to Ji Chen, “Give me a moment.”
Before he could even open the email, he switched the call to that from the foreign number immediately.
After the call had been connected, the person on the other end said in English, “Mr. Si, we have finally found the person you asked us to look for.”
Si Zhengting had hired local private investigators from several big cities near Kentucky and made full use of his connections to find Mother Zhuang.
This person happened to be one of them.
When Si Zhengting heard this, his heart lurched. He raised his head, and his gaze became serious as worry and anxiety surged inside him.
Mother Zhuang has been missing for nearly six months. Now that there is news of her…
His intuition told him that this news was bad news.
He answered, “What’s the news?”
“Oh, we spotted this woman somewhere not far away from Kentucky. We have been feeling guilty for providing you with the wrong information. This time, we took a photo of the woman and sent it to your email first. You can verify it first before we follow up with the search.”
Si Zhengting nodded. With subtly trembling hands, he clicked on the email. As expected, he saw a message being transmitted.
He clicked on the email. Upon seeing the photo attached to it, his pupils enlarged instantly.

Zhuang Nainai had a nightmare.
It had been a long time since she had dreamed of Mother Zhuang.
However, this time, she actually saw her clearly. She dreamed that her mother was going to jump into the water and commit suicide, but she just could not run over and save her. She kept hurling her legs only to realize that her bump was pressing on them.
Taken aback, she felt that her two babies were kicking violently. Past her tummy, she could see their movements. She was stunned by this odd phenomenon. Upon raising her head again, she saw that Mother Zhuang had disappeared and that there were ripples on the water’s surface. Shocked, she froze on the spot before bawling.
She opened her mouth and shouted, “Mother, Mother…”
As she was shouting, she could hear a gentle and deep voice. There was also a tinge of worry in that voice.
In a state of drowsiness, she heard Si Zhengting’s voice. “Nainai, wake up. You had a nightmare. Nainai…”
Zhuang Nainai clearly knew that she was having a nightmare, but she just couldn’t open her eyes. Just then, someone shook her shoulders, and it seemed like she had finally found a way to open her eyes. Instantly, she opened them.
Thereafter, she felt like there was a huge boulder pressing on her chest, such that she could not breathe. She gasped for air, her forehead drenched in sweat. When she finally calmed down, her sweat had also evaporated.
Zhuang Nainai looked at Si Zhengting. He was wearing a sleeping robe, and she could feel that his hands, which were on her shoulders, were cold. He didn’t seem like he had just climbed out of bed. Instead, he seemed like he had entered the room from outside.
Dazed, Zhuang Nainai shook her head before finally coming back to her senses. She looked at Si Zhengting with suspicion. “What happened?”
Si Zhengting remained silent for a moment before answering, “Nainai, there is news of your mother.”
After hearing this, Zhuang Nainai instantly felt like she was still dreaming. Slightly lost, she looked at Si Zhengting before asking the most important thing at last, “Is she alive or…?”
Or what, she could not bring herself to say.
As if she had been exposed to the cold, her whole body was trembling.
