"Before Kang Zi died, he entrusted A Wei with saving Ling Yun," Qing Muy野 said with a helpless smile. "If Young Master Lian Nuo wants a personal connection, it shouldn't be difficult, right?"
"Heh."
He Ka Lian Nuo shot him a glare. "Our cooperation has just been finalized, and you're already trying to take advantage. Truly a cunning and deceitful businessman."
"I'm indebted to Young Master Lian Nuo for your concern," Qing Muy野 said with genuine gratitude.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, his phone suddenly rang.
He took out his phone, glanced at the name 'Du Lin' flashing on the screen, and said to He Ka Lian Nuo, "I need to take a call."
Qing Muy野 turned aside, pressed the answer button, and held the phone to his ear. "Du Lin?"
"Boss, something's happened. Miss Meng is missing."
Du Lin said frantically on the other end of the line.
"What?"
Qing Muy野, usually composed, lost his composure and abruptly stood up from his chair, his handsome face filled with panic.
He Ka Lian Nuo, who had been lounging lazily in a rattan chair opposite him, straightened up nervously upon seeing Qing Muy野's shock. She frowned, looking at him with a taut heart.
"Send everyone out to search immediately. Be quick. I'll be back right away."
Qing Muy野 hung up the phone and looked at He Ka Lian Nuo. "I apologize, A Wei is missing. I have to leave first."
"Meng Jing Wei is missing? I'll go with you!"
He Ka Lian Nuo stood up, intending to leave with Qing Muy野.
"No need."
He directly dismissed He Ka Lian Nuo's idea. "Our cooperation has just begun. If we appear too close too soon, it will arouse suspicion and be detrimental to our plan."
"Then..." He Ka Lian Nuo thought for a moment, finding Qing Muy野's words reasonable. She could only instruct, "Remember to inform me if you find Meng Jing Wei."
"Mm."
"Then what are you still standing here for? Hurry back," He Ka Lian Nuo waved him off urgently.
Qing Muy野 turned and left immediately.
Watching his departing back, He Ka Lian Nuo sighed and slumped back into the chair, growing anxious herself.
"How could Meng Jing Wei have gone missing out of the blue? Could He Xiao Bei be behind this again?" she wondered.
An hour later.
Qing Muy野 and Kang Xiao Lu sped back to Yi Pin Ju.
At the entrance of Yi Pin Ju, he saw Du Lin running out from a distance. Qing Muy野's expression darkened as he demanded, "What exactly happened?"
"I don't know. Mr. Shen came this morning and went upstairs to see Miss Meng. Less than half an hour later, Old Shen came downstairs and left.
Du Lin said fearfully, "After that, it was a long time before Miss Shi couldn't find Tang Si, so she went upstairs to look for Miss Meng and found Tang Si unconscious on the ground, and discovered Miss Meng was missing."
He had to admit, they had been careless.
They thought nothing would happen after Old Shen left, but who knew Meng Jing Wei would go missing.
If Shi Ran hadn't discovered her disappearance, they would still be in the dark.
"Where is Tang Si?"
Qing Muy野 asked as he walked towards the hall.
"Tang Si has been unconscious and hasn't woken up. I've already sent for a doctor, but the doctor said he was afflicted with a secret technique from the Hidden Clan, which will cause him to remain unconscious. He won't wake up for at least three to five days."
While relaying the situation, Du Lin trembled, fearing that if Qing Muy野 got angry, he might strangle him.
Qing Muy野 was burning with anxiety, but he didn't show it on his face. He calmly asked, "Were there any traces found in A Wei's room?"
"No, nothing unusual. Furthermore, our people have been monitoring the surrounding surveillance cameras. If there was anything abnormal, they would have reported it immediately. I asked them, and they said the surveillance was all normal."
