Hie messages kept streaming in, along with missed calls .
He opened his messages, intending to glance through them briefly . Among all of his notifications, a familiar name caught his eye immediately .
Su Yue!
‘Su Yue is missing, is she with you?’
It was from Wen Xuxu . His heart leaped into his throat, and he clicked on it immediately to read it in fuller detail .
But there were only those few words .
The message was sent last night at 6 pm . Now, it was past midnight there .
‘It had been so long!’
Ming Ansheng panicked and hurriedly called Xuxu .
After two rings, she answered the call . Ming Ansheng knew that the situation was bad from the speed of which she had picked up the call .
“Hello?” he asked worriedly .
Even his tone had changed .
“Yueyue has gone missing . She hasn’t been found until now . ”
Wen Xuxu’s voice was anxious .
Ming Ansheng froze, his phone almost sliding out of his palm .
It had been six hours since Xuxu sent him the message . And they haven’t found her .
“President…”
“President!”
His secretary called him twice before he regained his senses .
The plane had already stilled .
“We’re here . We should alight,” his secretary reminded .
“Book tickets to return immediately . ”
Ming Ansheng stood up and walked off in anxious strides .
“President, we’ve just arrived and we’re heading back now?” asked his secretary as he chased after him .
Usually, nobody would doubt his commands, but today was different . They had important meetings and arrangements in Country M .
Their flight here was over ten hours, and now they had to fly back immediately…
Ming Ansheng frowned . “What? I didn’t make myself clear?”
His secretary didn’t dare to ask further . “Alright, I’ll book it right now . ”
He then whipped out his phone to book the tickets .
“President, the earliest trip back is at 6 pm . ”
Ming Ansheng knew that his secretary was referring to 6 pm in their country back home .
He walked down the stairs in a hurry, walking as he made a call . He spoke in English . “Sun, I might need to borrow your plane for a while . ”
The person on the other end must’ve agreed, for a grateful smile formed on his face .
After he ended the call, he dialed another number .
“Help me run a check on Su Yue: her entire day’s activities for yesterday . The more detailed, the better . ”
All these he could find out himself . He didn’t have to ask Wen Xuxu .
Or perhaps, he already felt that Wen Xuxu had already caught on to something . From her short text, she definitely had an underlying meaning .
Wen Xuxu was a calm and unflustered woman who was always rational and thought of the bigger picture .
So, she wouldn’t expose him even if she knew .
But he knew that she wouldn’t agree to it . She would use her own methods to create distance between Su Yue and himself .
It was morning by the time the private plane touched down in the capital city .
The moment he got off the plane, someone welcomed him immediately . “President Ming . ”
“How did it go?”
“I’ve done the checking . Miss Su Yue was in the dormitory the entire day . Past five in the afternoon, a long-haired unknown woman asked a girl who was staying in the same dormitory to call Miss Su Yue down . She never returned to the dormitory after . ”
