Chapter 248: Chapter 248: Go Ahead and Tear the Ticket

He Zheng was stunned, "What do you mean ’disappeared’?"

Almost subconsciously, he pulled out his cell phone to call He Lan, but the call went through and a shutdown tone came from the other end.

It was then that He Zheng’s heart panicked, his face changed, and he looked at Lu Heming.

Lu Heming said, "Before, President Pei was worried about an incident and arranged for two people to secretly protect Miss He and Miss Qiao, but they found out and thought they were bad guys. They shook off our bodyguards and then they went missing."

"When did this happen?" He Zheng pressed.

"Three o’clock in the morning."

"Three o’clock in the morning, they were still outside?" He Zheng was astonished. "Is Qiao Xiang that unreliable, too?"

Pei Liyan also frowned deeply.

Lu Heming seemed hesitant to continue.

"Speak up, Heming," Pei Liyan said gravely.

Lu Heming had no choice but to say, "The bodyguard said that Miss Qiao Xiang was in a bad mood, they met with a few friends and sang karaoke, all the way until three in the morning."

He Zheng clenched his teeth, "That girl really doesn’t know what’s good for her, she’s infuriating."

"Stop scolding, finding them is what’s important," Si Ran interjected to remind him.

"People have already been sent out to look," Lu Heming said with a worried heart. "But they’ve been searching for four hours now, and still no trace of them has been found."

Pei Liyan looked at Lu Heming. "Have you checked the Chen Family?"

"We checked. The Shi Family has been checked too, nothing was found," Lu Heming also frowned, finding the situation very tricky: "That is what I find perplexing, the two of them suddenly vanished without a trace..."

Without finishing his sentence, He Zheng’s complexion changed, and he said sternly, "You mean, they could have been harmed?"

"No, no!" Lu Heming immediately shook his head. "Mr. He, what I mean is, there’s no evidence, no trace, whoever it is, they’re no small fry."

He Zheng nodded. "Two people just disappearing into thin air without a trace, that’s impossible."

He stood up, ready to search.

"If Heming’s men can’t find them, it’ll be hard for you too," Pei Liyan said with a serious tone.

In Liancheng, Lu Heming’s capabilities were well known.

He Zheng stiffened, stopped in his tracks, and looked at Pei Liyan, "Then what do we do? Just wait?"

"Wait!" Pei Liyan said solemnly, "If it’s a kidnapping, there will be a message, and if it’s something else, being anxious is useless."

Qiao Rui had been silent the entire time, quietly eating her meal until they finally looked at her.

He Zheng was also surprised by Qiao Rui’s composure.

Pei Liyan’s gaze turned to Qiao Rui, asking her, "Qiao Rui, what do you think?"

"Is there any value in Miss He and my elder sister?" Qiao Rui asked calmly in response.

He Zheng frowned slightly, "He Lan is the pearl of our family, she’s worth something."

Pei Liyan was taken aback, his gaze deepening as he looked at Qiao Rui.

He Zheng continued, "Qiao Xiang is also the young lady of your Qiao Family."

"If the motive for the kidnapping is money, you should have received a phone call by now!" Qiao Rui said, "But now there’s nothing."

"You mean there’s another possibility?" Pei Liyan asked, taking over the conversation: "Maybe not for money, possibly for other reasons."

"Of course, there’s another possibility," Qiao Rui joined in, "They’ve hidden themselves away and don’t want anyone to find them."

"He Lan wouldn’t hide," He Zheng stated confidently, "She’s not that cunning. She must have encountered danger."

Qiao Rui finished her last bite of food, set down her plate, wiped her mouth with a napkin, and said, "Then why aren’t you hurrying to find them?"

"Lu Heming," Pei Liyan said gravely, "have informants watch the Chen Family and the Shi Family."

"Yes!"

He Zheng was already heading out.

Pei Liyan also stood up and instructed Si Ran, "Call Fang Mo!"

"Yes!" Si Ran stopped eating as well.

The plates in front of Pei Liyan and He Zheng were almost untouched.

"Go to Liu Garden," Pei Liyan said solemnly, "maybe He Lan and Qiao Xiang are at Liu Garden!"

Qiao Rui was stunned, suspecting that He Lan and Qiao Xiang might have been taken by someone from Liu Garden.

"Why do you suspect they are at Liu Garden?" Qiao Rui suddenly asked.

After glancing at Qiao Rui and noticing the fluctuation in her eyes, Pei Liyan was slightly surprised. "He Lan targeted Song Muyu and was so provocative towards Qi Yun, it’s possible they took them."

Qiao Rui coldly looked at Pei Liyan, "Miss Song and Miss Qi don’t seem like the type of people to hold a petty grudge, why would they bother with a pampered young lady?"

Pei Liyan narrowed his eyes, "You seem to have a good impression of them?"

Qiao Rui responded frankly, "Yes, a very good one, certainly better than the impression I have of Miss He."

"Brother’s wife, I know He Lan’s attitude towards you is uncomfortable, but can we not argue at this critical moment?" He Zheng said, trying to keep his patience.

"Mr. He underestimates me," Qiao Rui said, "I wouldn’t take your sister’s rudeness to heart!"

He Zheng was taken aback, "Okay, I apologize for suspecting!"

Qiao Rui looked at Lu Heming, "President Lu, could you please track their phones?"

"They’ve been turned off!"

"Then check all the surveillance around the area where they disappeared," Qiao Rui said gravely, "including private businesses and establishments."

Lu Heming immediately understood Qiao Rui’s intent, his gaze fell on her face with some surprise, and then turned towards Pei Liyan.

Pei Liyan came back, suddenly grabbing Qiao Rui’s wrist.

"Come and search with me!"

Qiao Rui frowned, trying to pull away.

The man ignored her refusal, gripping her tighter.

Then, Qiao Rui’s phone rang.

"I have to answer this," she snapped, shaking off Pei Liyan.

Pei Liyan let her go.

At that moment, Qiao Rui saw the call was from an unfamiliar number.

She frowned and answered, "Who is this?"

From the other end came Qiao Xiang’s voice, "Sixth sister, save me!"

"Eldest sister?" Qiao Rui was startled. "Where are you?"

Her cry made everyone around her startle and look at her.

On the phone, Qiao Xiang’s voice was both urgent and fearful, "Sixth sister, I’ve been kidnapped, save me!"

Suddenly, the voice on the phone changed to a low and sinister male voice, "Miss Qiao, your sister is in my hands."

Qiao Rui found it strange; why would he call her if Qiao Xiang was in his hands?

The kidnapper was quite intriguing.

"Clearly, yes," Qiao Rui said, "but I would like to know, what about the other girl, He Lan?"

He Zheng nodded silently; he too wanted to know what happened to He Lan and whether she was actually with Qiao Xiang.

"She’s asleep!" the voice said, "Both of them are in my hands, ready a ten million cash immediately. I’ll call you again soon. Remember, don’t tell anyone, and definitely don’t call the police, or else I’ll harm them!"

Hearing this, Qiao Rui suddenly scoffed lightly, "Go ahead and harm them!"
