Jian Dan’s hands were tied behind her back, and she was blindfolded with a black cloth.
The car that she was in drove for a long time… before finally stopping.
Jian Dan felt herself being shoved out of the car and shoved again into a house…
The moment she entered the house, her lips curled into an imperceptible smile…
“Honey, why are you here? I haven’t gotten off work yet.” Li Jing was confused when he saw Mengjiao suddenly appear on the 33rd floor.
“I’m not here for you. I’m here for Chu Liyuan.” Mengjiao merely cast a glance at Li Jing before walking towards Chu Liyuan’s office…
“Wait a minute, honey. Mr. Chu is having a video conference now. He’s very busy now.”
“So what?”
“Can we talk about it after Mr. Chu’s meeting?”
“No, I want to see him now.”
“But now…”
“But what? Are you trying to stop me?”
Looking at his wife’s stubborn look, Li Jing felt a little helpless…
Chu Liyuan was currently in the middle of a very important video conference. It was Li Jing’s responsibility not to let anyone in and disturb him, but this was his beloved wife.
I’ve already tried to dissuade her. What should I do now?
Mengjiao couldn’t care less about Li Jing at this moment. Jian Dan had told her that the time was of the essence and there must be no delay. Otherwise, it would affect the effect.
“Get out of my way!” Mengjiao pushed Li Jing aside and barged in without knocking on the door…
When Li Jing saw this, his heart skipped a beat. Looks like I can only apologize to Mr. Chu later.
Upon hearing the door being opened, Chu Liyuan frowned.
When he saw who it was, his brows relaxed a little, but the anger on his face did not fade.
Seeing Chu Liyuan’s expression, Li Jing knew that this matter would not be resolved so easily.
Li Jing’s facial features were already twisted together, but Mengjiao’s face did not show any fear. Instead, there was a sense of legitimacy.
“Do you care about Jian Dan?” Mengjiao went straight to the point.
Chu Liyuan’s already long face grew worse at Mengjiao’s words as he bolted up from the chair. “What happened to Jian Jian?”
Nothing else mattered when Jian Dan was in trouble.
“Jian Jian is missing. I haven’t been able to contact her.”
“What?” Jian Jian was still in the office in the morning. Why did she suddenly disappear?
Chu Liyuan picked up his cell phone and dialed Jian Dan’s number. “I’m sorry, the number you have dialed is not in service. Please try again later…”
Before the notification ended, Chu Liyuan hung up and called again immediately. However, it was the same message as before.
Chu Liyuan’s heart skipped a beat…
He would never allow Jian Dan to disappear from his side again. Definitely…
Just as he was about to use everything in his power to find Jian Dan, he suddenly recalled…
Jian Jian took the necklace from me this morning. Did she already know that something might happen to her?
Chu Liyuan sat in front of the computer table and tracked Jian Dan’s location.
After confirming Jian Dan’s location, he set off without any delay. However, he bumped into the police who were on their way up as soon as he got off the elevator…
All of Chu Liyuan’s thoughts were on Jian Dan and he had no time to care about anything else, so he ignored the police.
However, he was stopped by one of the police officers. “Chu Liyuan, I’m here to…”
“I have something on now. If there’s anything, wait for me to come back!” Chu Liyuan cut him off before he could finish speaking.
“Did something happen? Why are you so flustered?!” He was a long-time good friend of Chu Liyuan.
“Jian Jian is missing. I’m going to look for her now!” Chu Liyuan said as he got into the car.
“Officer, why don’t you come with us? This might be a case of kidnapping!” Mengjiao said.
This was also part of Jian Dan’s plan. She wanted the police along in case of anything.
“Alright.” The officer agreed immediately.
Apart from his identity as a police officer, it was also because of his relationship with Chu Liyuan.
Chu Liyuan had already started the car and sped off…
