Tangling with the Western Commander-Chapter 371 - 368
Chapter 371: Chapter 368
As he spoke, Lu Xiao’s face also grew somewhat complex.
He had not anticipated that last night, a seemingly ordinary night, so many things would occur.
He had interrogated that man, only returning in the middle of the night.
Upon his return, he saw that Wen Xian had not slept at all.
Only after thoroughly understanding the events did he discover that the young girl, Li Zaijun, had disappeared.
“I’ve already sent someone to check last night’s traffic records. If they find any trace of her in nearby cars, they’ll notify me immediately,” he said.
Yes.
The bar’s surveillance system had happened to be under maintenance last night, rendering it nonfunctional, so they could only resort to checking the nightclub’s external traffic cameras to discover her whereabouts.
Wen Xian fell silent again, her mood low, heavy, as if she was struggling to breathe.
If something had happened to her, what could they do?
But now, it seemed highly likely, given that a whole night had passed.
Lu Xiao gently stroked her hair, whispering softly,

“This isn’t your fault. You are just a woman and you already dealt with those bad people for her. You shouldn’t have had to intervene, but you’ve already done very well. Don’t think too much about it.”
Wen Xian tightly grabbed his sleeve, her breathing somewhat erratic as she finally buried her head in his chest.
Her emotions were collapsing; she truly blamed herself for not being able to find her in the end.
Just then—
A noise suddenly came from the courtyard.
Lu Xiao, with his keen senses, immediately looked out the window.
Upon looking, he saw a small figure suddenly appear in his field of vision, his eyes suddenly widening. Was it not Li Zaijun, who had been missing for a night?
“Wen Xian, she’s back!”
As he spoke, he immediately dashed outside. Wen Xian’s heart trembled, and she hurriedly followed after him.
Having just entered the courtyard and taking only a few steps, Li Zaijun saw two figures rushing out of the east wing, looking at her earnestly and anxiously.
She was suddenly speechless,
A tidal wave of indescribable complex emotions surged within her, her eyelashes fluttering, her small face turning somewhat pale.
Seeing their worried expressions, she forced a smile on her lips, then quickly lowered her head and hurried into her room.
As Lu Xiao moved to approach her, Wen Xian held him back.
She shook her head, then still decided to follow her.
Considering her demeanor, it was very likely that something bad had happened the previous day.
Such matters, she couldn’t handle alone and might not feel comfortable talking about to anyone.
As Li Zaijun was about to shut her door, Wen Xian resisted closing it, asking softly, “May I come in?”
She hesitated for a moment, then still gently nodded.
Wen Xian had thought the situation might be bad, but after hearing about last night, she felt even more devastated.
“When I woke up this morning, there was blood on the sheets and needle marks on my arm. I suspect he injected me with ‘drugs’…”
As Li Zaijun recounted these events, tears welled up in her eyes, threatening to fall.
Although the man looked decent enough and tried to deny his actions, she was no fool.
It was only after she had kicked him harshly that she managed to escape.
Wen Xian found herself uncontrollably twisting her hair, her scalp numb.
Pacing back and forth, she finally took a deep breath and solemnly said, “Let’s go to the hospital first, then we can decide whether to call the police.”
Her small face grew pale, “I, I don’t want others to know.”
Especially her aunt and uncle…
Wen Xian walked up to her, looking at how she’d changed overnight—
