The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker-Chapter 527 - 491: I Have a Daughter

Chapter 527: Chapter 491: I Have a Daughter
Wen Mingcheng woke up and chatted with Qiao Yuxian for a couple of minutes, then fell asleep again soon after.
Qiao Yuxian didn’t leave either and stayed at the hospital.
Until the evening, he woke up once more.
Qiao Yuxian fed him a little bit of food.
Having just awakened, he could only eat a little, slowly adjusting.
After eating, Wen Mingcheng didn’t immediately sleep. He seemed to ponder something for a while, then said to Qiao Yuxian, "Yu Xian, I have a daughter."
Qiao Yuxian was adjusting the electrode on his left chest for the electrocardiogram.
The electrode was a bit loose, causing the heart rate on the monitor to fluctuate.
While pressing down on it and observing the heart rate, she suddenly froze upon hearing his words.
Then, she looked at him in shock.
Watching for a while, she called Liu Zhou: "Liu Zhou, call the doctor. He seems to be talking nonsense."
Liu Zhou immediately headed out.
Wen Mingcheng quickly called after him, "Stop!"
After speaking these two words with great effort, Wen Mingcheng took a breath and said, "I’m not talking nonsense. I’m telling you my purpose for coming to D Continent."
Liu Zhou stopped and looked at him.
Qiao Yuxian was in a daze for quite a while, then said, "You aren’t married."
"Yes," Wen Mingcheng replied.
"Um... also, you don’t have a girlfriend," Qiao Yuxian continued.
"Yes," Wen Mingcheng responded again.
"Then may I ask, where did the daughter come from?" Qiao Yuxian asked one more time.
"A one-night stand," Wen Mingcheng said those three words.
Liu Zhou: "!"
Qiao Yuxian gaped, closed her mouth again, stepped back, spun around, and then looked at him: "Uncle Wen!"
Wen Mingcheng’s face was pale, his eyes weakly open.
His arms and legs were in casts, his body wrapped in bandages.
The whole person couldn’t move, only his eyes could.
He looked at Qiao Yuxian.
Qiao Yuxian couldn’t believe it: "Uncle Wen, do you know what you’re saying? Are you sure you’re not confused?"
She touched his forehead.
Confirmed there was no fever.
"I was drugged, and then..." Wen Mingcheng started off rather calmly, but suddenly felt awkward while speaking.
Qiao Yuxian covered her mouth with both hands, her expression quite exaggerated: "What kind of ridiculous plot is this."
Wen Mingcheng: "......"
"Really a daughter?" Qiao Yuxian asked.
"Yes," Wen Mingcheng said, "She should be three or four years younger than you."
Qiao Yuxian was still somewhat incredulous, remained silent for a while, and then asked: "So you had a daughter after just one night?"
Liu Zhou coughed lightly.
Wen Mingcheng’s face instantly darkened.
"No, no," Qiao Yuxian quickly explained, "I’m just surprised; I meant nothing else. Really, really."
She truly only expressed skepticism without meaning anything else.
If she did, it was doubting if he really had a daughter, since after just one night...
How could it be so coincidental!
Wen Mingcheng: "......"
Qiao Yuxian was quiet for a while before saying, "So... where’s your daughter?"
"I don’t know," Wen Mingcheng replied, "That woman gave the child away after birth. I’ve been searching all these years. I haven’t received any news; I thought... given D Continent’s situation..."
Qiao Yuxian’s expression became more serious: "So this time you came because..."
"I received news indicating her whereabouts," Wen Mingcheng said, "So I came to D Continent. But it seems they wanted to use this information against me. Since I arrived, the information has been sporadic. Today it points here, tomorrow elsewhere."
"Knowing it’s against you, yet you believe it," Qiao Yuxian said.
"But the other party can reveal some information about her. Doesn’t that indicate she is indeed alive," Wen Mingcheng said, "I don’t want to give up any clue. I want to find her."
Qiao Yuxian frowned a little: "What then, once you find her?"
Wen Mingcheng pursed his lips, not speaking.
Everyone has their past, their persistence and obsession.
Even for a particular matter, different people have different views.
Qiao Yuxian didn’t understand Wen Mingcheng’s persistence but respected it.
Perhaps this matter isn’t as simple as "a one-night stand."
Wen Mingcheng simply preferred not to say.
He didn’t want to reveal, and she didn’t press further, only asking: "And after that?"
"After that, I once again obtained a clue and went to the location pointed by the clue. There, I was ambushed and captured," Wen Mingcheng said.
"Captured," those three words caught Liu Zhou’s attention, prompting him to look at Qiao Yuxian.
Qiao Yuxian’s eyes flickered, her body tense: "Not on Qiang’an Mountain?"
On Qiang’an Mountain, they only fought; there was no capturing involved.
"Qiang’an Mountain?" Wen Mingcheng replied, "I was ambushed on the way to Lede Province, through a deserted area, and the people with me nearly..."
Qiao Yuxian paused for a moment, then breathed a long sigh of relief.
Wen Mingcheng looked at her, asking: "How is it related to Qiang’an Mountain?"
"We discovered you on Qiang’an Mountain, and it was your phone that sent the distress signal," Liu Zhou explained.
"I didn’t send any distress signal; I didn’t have time," Wen Mingcheng said, "I was assaulted in a basement, fell unconscious, and upon waking, I was already in the hospital."
"Not Gu Yanjing’s people," Qiao Yuxian suddenly said.
"How does this relate to Gu Yanjing?" Wen Mingcheng was even more puzzled.
Liu Zhou roughly explained the situation to him.
Wen Mingcheng remained silent for a while before saying, "Someone is doing this intentionally. Trying to provoke a conflict between Yunzhong Building and Gu Group."
The three words "Wen Mingcheng," immediately related to Yunzhong Building.
And the influence of Gu Group in D Continent isn’t a secret either.
Gu Family and Lu Family are both in Taohua Manor, but the people from Gu Family and Lu Family can still be distinguished.
So Wen Mingcheng’s first thought was this.
Qiao Yuxian remained silent.
Wen Mingcheng woke up, and the matter had nothing to do with Gu Yanjing.
The whole person suddenly relaxed.
Qiao Yuxian’s mind was somewhat blank, a bit unmoving.
Liu Zhou watched Qiao Yuxian in a daze.
Wen Mingcheng also looked at her, and after a while, said: "Girl, what’s with your reaction? Are you still thinking of taking revenge on Gu Yanjing?"
Qiao Yuxian looked at him and silently acknowledged.
Wen Mingcheng took a gentle breath.
He couldn’t imagine what how much pain and turmoil the girl had gone through while he was asleep these days.
Absolutely riddled with holes.
Absolutely.
Absolutely appearing normal on the surface, but internally bleeding constantly.
Wen Mingcheng sighed lightly.
Qiao Yuxian stood there staring blankly for a while, then pulled over a chair to sit by the bed.
Wen Mingcheng looked at her.
Qiao Yuxian asked, "Did you see the one who caught you?"
Wen Mingcheng was central to everything.
After his incident, she tried various ways to find clues but didn’t find any.
Because the initial direction was misguided.
They were too focused on Qiang’an Mountain.
So much so they overlooked other places.
"No," Wen Mingcheng said, "The one leading was so skilled. We had broken through, but he alone forced us back."
Wen Mingcheng’s skills were already very good.
Yet he nearly lost his life.
Maybe they were aiming for his life.
The gunshot to the heart was too dangerous.
If Wen Mingcheng hadn’t survived, they would have continued to suspect Gu Group.
Wen Mingcheng surviving was indeed a miracle.
"After they took me to the basement, I fought with that person again," Wen Mingcheng suddenly said.
Even though captured, Wen Mingcheng was always resisting. Regaining his strength, he thought of breaking out.
So they clashed again in the basement.
Qiao Yuxian and Liu Zhou both looked at him.
Wen Mingcheng said, "I tore the clothes on his shoulder. He has a tattoo on the left shoulder. Blue and green, like... a tiger’s head, or maybe a lion."
