Chapter 610: Chapter 610: 610 Announce Your Presence to the World

Seeing the black-clad figure standing before her, Chu Youwei’s eyes flashed with a hint of fear, and she didn’t dare to look at him directly.

The man’s voice was husky, “Do they suspect you?”

“No…no,” Chu Youwei gently shook her head. “I’ve already acknowledged An Nuonuo as a relative.”

“Good,” the figure in black revealed a hint of a smile. “When the time is right, administer the item I gave you last time to An Nuonuo.

As long as you complete the task, those orphans will naturally come to no harm.”

After speaking, the man in black entered an alleyway to the left and quickly disappeared from sight.

“There’s definitely something fishy going on.”

The sudden voice nearly scared Chu Youwei to death.

Turning around, she saw Jiang Xu standing a few meters away.

“Ah!”

Chu Youwei let out a scream, then realizing her lapse, she covered her mouth, her face pale as death.

In the depths of her eyes, a surge of despair welled up, quickly suffusing her entire body.

Jiang Xu looked deeply at her and walked on ahead.

At this moment, Chu Youwei felt like a drowning person, struggling to breathe, her forehead beading with cold sweat, hands and feet icy cold.

It took a while before she somewhat recovered.

Chu Youwei gritted her teeth and followed him.

There was a flower bed ahead.

Jiang Xu was sitting there.

Chu Youwei walked over, head lowered, not daring to speak.

Jiang Xu said indifferently, “Sit down. If you are Nuonuo’s elder cousin, then you are my elder cousin as well.”

“I’m sorry, I don’t deserve it,” Chu Youwei’s voice was tinged with sobs. “I am a bad girl, but I had no choice.

They took fifteen children from the orphanage, none older than six, to coerce me into participating in the School Beauty contest.

The goal was to get close to you all.

Then, they gave me a bottle of medicine to find an opportunity to administer to Nuonuo.”

Jiang Xu looked at her, weeping and pitiable, but felt no stirrings of emotion inside.

Beyond his own family, why should someone else’s tears concern him?

All he asked was, “You just need to answer me honestly if in the end, you will drug Nuonuo or not.”

“I won’t,” Chu Youwei’s expression was resolute. “I actually know that once the mission is completed, neither those children nor I will live.

Now all I can do is delay as long as possible, letting those children see more of this beautiful world.”

Jiang Xu could tell she wasn’t lying.

Then everything would be easy to handle.

He couldn’t allow a relative with a viper’s heart to emerge around An Nuonuo.

Jiang Xu stood up and said, “Go back, act as if none of this ever happened.

As for those children, I will rescue them.”

Jiang Xu’s investment in his own intelligence network was continuously increasing.

Now, not only did he have a massive online network, but he had also purchased many expensive pieces of equipment (all legal).

With the right information and official cooperation, finding those children would be a piece of cake.

Hearing this, the dull glimmer in Chu Youwei’s eyes suddenly lit up.

She sniffed hard, speaking earnestly and solemnly, “If you can rescue them, my life is yours. I won’t hesitate to do anything you ask!”

Jiang Xu didn’t take her words seriously, “Go back. Keep things as they were before, and we’ll talk after the people are rescued.”

Chu Youwei gave Jiang Xu a deep bow, then turned and left.

Jiang Xu didn’t go home but instead went straight to the authorities to report the matter.

Dozens of children had been kidnapped, and this was no minor case. Once it was exposed, it would cause tremendous social turmoil.

Therefore, a specialized team was formed immediately.

Jiang Xu also stated that all of his family’s intelligence and available resources would be fully cooperated with.

…

The School Beauty Contest had begun.

Jiang Xu, An Nuonuo, Bai Xiaoya, Zhou Qingyue, Wang Xiaoyuan, and others had all arrived at the competition venue.

Outside, there was a sea of people; the nearby streets were so jammed that not even a drop of water could squeeze through.

It was not just cars that couldn’t get through; even if a fly dared to cut in line, it would be slapped away.

But, of course, Jiang Xu and his group used the VIP passage.

“There were so many people outside just now,” Wang Xiaoyuan said with some lingering fear as she walked through the VIP passage, “If you got caught in that crowd, you probably wouldn’t have any clothes left on your body when you came out.”

“That’s unbearable,” Bai Xiaoya said eagerly, “This contest is super popular right now.

Some media have estimated that the number of viewers on TV and online streaming platforms may exceed ten million!”

“That’s conservative,” Zhou Qingyue shook her head slightly, “From my experience and judgment, it should at least double, if not more.”

Bai Xiaoya was secretly amazed, “Just the various advertising sponsorships alone, I bet the organizers are making a killing.”

An Nuonuo didn’t join in the discussion and seemed distracted.

Jiang Xu knew she was thinking about Chu Youwei.

He had told her about what happened that night after he went back.

Upon knowing, An Nuonuo’s heart ached even more for her cousin.

At times, Jiang Xu didn’t know whether to call her foolish or kind-hearted.

Latter, the people Jiang Xu sent had investigated everything about Chu Youwei thoroughly.

Apart from the matter with her child, everything she had said matched perfectly.

She indeed was a good girl, merely coerced by others.

Whether it was out of moral duty, self-interest, or simply for An Nuonuo’s sake, Jiang Xu would not stand idly by.

Everyone arrived backstage.

Jiang Xu stayed outside and did not follow them in, but his female bodyguard did.

With such a group of beautiful girls, and a big star like Zhou Qingyue arriving backstage, a commotion naturally ensued.

Many people rushed over, asking for autographs, photos, and the like.

After a while, everyone dispersed.

An Nuonuo’s gaze wandered until she spotted Chu Youwei in a corner.

She hurried over and hugged her from behind, “Sister, you look so beautiful today.”

An Nuonuo had never really had any siblings to dote on her from a young age.

Now that she finally had a sister, and one related by blood, she naturally cherished her.

She even thought about deliberately making a mistake during the contest to let Chu Youwei win the championship.

Something very soft inside Chu Youwei was touched.

An Nuonuo was truly wonderful. Even an angel couldn’t compare to this girl.

Having such a cousin was truly a blessing in three lifetimes.

People around them cast curious glances their way.

Weren’t the two with the highest chances of winning the championship supposed to be at each other’s throats the moment they met?

What was this development?

“Everyone~” An Nuonuo, holding Chu Youwei’s hand, used the loudest voice she could muster in her life and said, “I want to introduce to you my sister, my cousin who is related by blood. I love her!”
