That man wasn't known for his generosity. If he learned of Evelyn's suffering, he would certainly act…

He added, "Even if she's dead, dig her up and scatter her ashes!"

"Yes."

…

Evans Family.

Besides Justin, the Evans family had two other sons.

Both rushed back urgently. "Any news about our sister?"

Mrs. Evans nodded, handing over the jade pendant. "I feel Jason is hiding something. But he's injured and from the second branch. It's not my place to interrogate him further. You two investigate! Take the pendant and ask around!"

"Okay!"

The two hurriedly took the jade and left.

Justin caught up. "I'm coming with you!"

After everyone left, Mrs. Evans sat on the sofa, taking a deep breath.

…

Produce Market.

The three Evans brothers showed a photo around. "Have you seen this jade?"

Passersby shook their heads.

Jane Evans was shopping at the market.

Her brother was sick. She needed to buy some ribs for soup.

She walked to the meat counter, pulling out money to pay. Suddenly, she heard someone nearby ask, "Little miss, have you seen this jade?"

Jane paused, turning to see a gentle, jade-like big brother.

He looked exceptionally kind.

Jane Evans froze for a moment.

A memory seemed to stir deep within her mind.

But it was blocked by a hazy, fog-like barrier.

She instinctively tried to see the screen of his phone.

But the girl buying vegetables spoke first. "Haven't seen it."

The older brother quickly put his phone away and kept walking.

Jane Evans couldn't make out what was on the screen.

She frowned.

Compelled by some unknown force, she began to follow him...

This was Dylan Evans, the eldest son of the Evans family.

He didn't notice the girl trailing him at all.

He continued asking around the market.

Two young men in sharp suits appeared in the distance.

They looked completely out of place in the shabby market.

Jane Evans stared at them, lost in thought.

A sharp, impatient voice suddenly barked behind her. "Move! Are you deaf?"

Jane Evans turned around in a fluster.

It was a vendor pushing a cart.

She immediately bowed and apologized.

The commotion caught the attention of the three Evans brothers.

All three froze the moment they saw Jane Evans.

Justin Evans stared intently at her. "Big brother, second brother, don't you think..."

"Her eyes look just like Dad's."

"There's an indescribable familiarity."

The three exchanged glances.

They suddenly looked at Jane Evans in unison. "Could she be...?"

Jane Evans quickly waved her hands.

She pulled out a small notebook she always carried.

She neatly wrote the words "I'm sorry."

The vendor glanced at the writing and smirked. "Oh, a mute."

He pushed his cart away without another look.

Jane Evans stood still for a moment, slightly dazed.

She sighed softly and walked toward the vegetable stall.

The three men in the distance immediately looked disappointed.

Justin Evans spoke first. "Our little sister was always so articulate."

"There's no way she's a mute."

They left the market, their hopes dashed.

Justin Evans was eager to rush to the next market.

Dylan Evans suddenly stopped him. "This isn't the way."

"There are hundreds of markets in New York."

"Not to mention countless street vendors."

Justin Evans grew agitated. "You don't want to find her anymore?"

The second Evans brother quickly mediated. "Big brother must have a plan."

Dylan Evans rubbed his temples. "When will you ever grow up?"

"Always causing trouble."

"I heard you took Mom to offend the Xus and the Cortez Sect?"

"The Five Great Families have never had a falling out."

"Are you determined to ruin the Evans family?"

Justin Evans stiffened his neck. "They started it!"

"We're talking about finding our sister now!"

Dylan Evans took a deep breath. "I'm suggesting we place an ad."

Justin Evans was stunned. "An ad?"

"Yes," Dylan Evans explained. "Back then, we were afraid the traffickers would harm her."

"That's why we never searched publicly."

"Now we know she's in New York."

"It's the perfect time to launch a full-scale search."

Justin Evans's eyes lit up. "You're a genius!"

Dylan Evans immediately started planning. "Get an ad made."

"Run it city-wide... no, nationwide."

"Everyone needs to see this!"

The second Evans brother turned to leave. "I'll handle it at the office."

Dylan Evans looked at Justin Evans.

He felt helpless about his spoiled younger brother.

He patted Justin Evans's shoulder. "Behave yourself lately."

"Don't provoke Marcus Xu again."

Justin Evans curled his lip. "Fine."

He waited until Dylan Evans was out of earshot before sneering. "I'll provoke him if I want."

"Let's see what he can do."

In just half a day.

The Evans family's missing person ads were everywhere.

But promotions need time to gain traction.

It wasn't until she was cooking dinner that evening.

That Jane Evans saw the ad notification on her phone.

She stared at the crescent moon jade on the screen, stunned.

She quickly tapped Justin Evansan's shoulder.

She handed him her phone.

Justin Evansan was also stunned by the ad.

"Jane, isn't this your jade?"

"Why is it on TV?"

"Let me see what this is about!"
