Chapter 727: Chapter 725 I Don’t Allow It

It’s all because they’ve recently been too pleased with themselves, thinking too little of Pavel.

The other day, she had reassured Xu Zhenzhen so confidently, telling her to wait and marry Xia Wenqing. Now, without Xu Zhenzhen being rescued, Xia Wenqing has been captured again.

At the thought, Lu Zhaozhao felt completely overwhelmed.

Song Sinian reached out and gently pinched her somewhat pale face, comforting her, "Even if Pavel now knows Xia Wenqing’s identity, he won’t harm him. Don’t worry, at most he will suffer some physical hardship."

At his words, Lu Zhaozhao became even more anxious, "If he can’t get any useful information from my second brother, could he take out his recent frustrations on him?"

"..."

He would.

Song Sinian didn’t need to think to know it.

But he couldn’t tell Lu Zhaozhao that; it would only make her worry more.

Pavel had recently been driven to distraction by public opinion and internal affairs within the Havill family.

He desperately needed a way to vent, and now that Xia Wenqing had been discovered, he was sure to undergo a round of physical suffering.

Unless he found another outlet for his anger, otherwise...

Song Sinian dared not think further.

The Xia Family was naturally aware of this, so they didn’t continue the topic.

"The first thing we need to do now is ascertain where exactly Pavel has taken the second brother," Xia Wenjue started speaking slowly, "I’ve checked the surveillance around the café and found their route was towards Pavel’s villa. This means the second brother is most likely detained somewhere in that villa."

Sure enough, this statement immediately diverted Lu Zhaozhao’s attention.

Hearing this, Xia Wenmo also chimed in, "I know there are two dungeons in the villa, but I’m not sure which one Pavel will have people lock him in."

Lu Zhaozhao seemed to remember something and turned to look at Song Sinian, "Mr. Song, I recall you mentioning that you have inside sources planted in the villa. Can they find out any information?"

She knew Pavel would surely entrust this to his trusted subordinates, but it’s far from certain whether around those confidantes, there might be informants Song Sinian had placed.

Of course, she was just hoping, not certain whether Song Sinian truly had the formidable ability to plant so many people inside the villa so quickly.

Song Sinian’s eyelids drooped slightly, "Pavel has placed him in another dungeon, a location completely opposite to your body double."

Lu Zhaozhao blinked in surprise, and upon hearing the words "body double," she suddenly remembered the mercenary who had replaced her and was being held in the villa.

It was more like house arrest than imprisonment, because the treatment the body double was receiving wasn’t any different from Xu Zhenzhen’s.

She’d been getting along fairly well in the villa lately, having made friends with quite a few maids, and had managed to gather quite a bit of information, including on the daily routines of this female mercenary.

As for the other place of confinement, it was an actual dungeon.

It seemed Pavel was indeed very angry.

Lu Zhaozhao’s lips pursed slightly, "Shouldn’t we rescue my second brother as soon as possible?"

She was worried about the hazards of delay—if Pavel decided to blame Xia Wenqing for all the recent developments, he might be in mortal danger.

Song Sinian nodded slightly, acknowledging the urgency. Although it deviated from their plan, the general strategy hadn’t changed much.

Their original concern was the Pavlov family; now Pavel had already been isolated from them.

Whether they acted against him sooner or later didn’t really matter anymore.

Song Sinian gently squeezed her small hand, "We can send someone to rescue your second brother tomorrow, so don’t worry too much."

"Should I go back now?" Lu Zhaozhao was more anxious, knowing that Pavel currently took an interest in her. If she could divert his attention somewhat, her second brother might suffer less.

As soon as she voiced this suggestion, Song Sinian held her wrist firmly, "I won’t allow it."

Pavel was already sensitive, and with Xia Wenqing’s identity exposed, he would likely be suspicious of everyone around him, including Lu Zhaozhao disguised as a maid.

She had been closest to Xu Zhenzhen, and Pavel might have already started to suspect her. If she took the initiative to approach him now, it would almost be like delivering herself on a platter.

Xia Wenjue and Xia Wenmo similarly intervened.

"Absolutely not, Pavel is already suspicious. If you return now, he might suspect you as well, and we might end up not only unable to save your second brother but also risking your own safety," Xia Wenjue said.

"He might even use you to threaten Xu Zhenzhen. In the end, we would still be at a disadvantage," Xia Wenmo added.

Wen Qingyu also nodded in agreement, "This is something your second brother impulsively brought upon himself. It’s okay for him to suffer a bit. We must remain calm."

They all knew Lu Zhaozhao’s temperament and feared that if they were too slow, she would actually run back.

Listening to their advice, Lu Zhaozhao fell into thought.

They were making sense, especially when dealing with a sly fox like Pavel, she couldn’t use ordinary logic when considering his actions.

Thinking of Xia Wenqing who might be suffering at the moment, Lu Zhaozhao’s brow still didn’t relax.

She remembered in her previous life, her second brother was involved in a mistress scandal; in this life, she had not seen him take on any similar cases.

Thinking about it now, it was very likely that her second brother had fallen into Pavel’s trap in her last life.

So when she learned that her second brother had been captured by Pavel, that’s why she was so nervous.

Everyone else had avoided their fates from the previous life; of course, she didn’t want her second brother and Xu Zhenzhen to repeat the old paths.

Lu Zhaozhao took a deep breath, "Okay, then should we tell Zhenzhen about this?"

She was actually a bit hesitant—if they didn’t tell Xu Zhenzhen, Pavel might threaten her first, and if she was completely unaware, it would probably cause her a great shock.

Finding herself uncertain, Lu Zhaozhao could only seek the advice of the Xia Family and Song Sinian.

At once, everyone was divided into two factions.

"For now, don’t let Xu Zhenzhen know about this matter. She’s pregnant. If something really happens, it’d be hard to explain to the second brother," one side argued.

"But what if Pavel goes to find Xu Zhenzhen first?" the others countered.

"Then we’ll find the second brother before finding Xu Zhenzhen!"

"What if he’s already gone to find Xu Zhenzhen now?"

"..."

Sitting on the side, Lu Zhaozhao listened to their back-and-forth and felt her own heart skip a beat.

She turned her gaze to Song Sinian, hoping to get a definitive answer from him.

Song Sinian looked back at Lu Zhaozhao, pausing slightly, "With Pavel capturing Xia Wenqing, he will certainly threaten Xu Zhenzhen’s life to hasten the marriage. His goal is the next heir; he likely won’t hide it from Xu Zhenzhen..."
