Chapter 187: 156 Tang Su goes missing, Lu Han loses composure (2 more)_1

An hour later, Bai Dingkai was held up at an intersection by a sudden car accident.

He called Tang Su, who said she had finished getting her vaccine and was about to leave. When he mentioned he would come pick her up but it would take a while, Tang Su agreed.

"Don’t rush, Second Brother. Take your time. I’m not in a hurry either," she said.

"Mmm, mmm. Let’s go to your coffee shop for a coffee before we meet Sun Qing for lunch," Bai Dingkai proposed, worried that Tang Su might feel uncomfortable having lunch with just him.

"Sure," Tang Su also felt that lunch with just the two of them would definitely be a bit awkward.

If Bai Dingkai hadn’t suggested meeting Sun Qing, she would have arranged to have lunch at the coffee shop with the staff, which wouldn’t feel awkward and, moreover, would be more lively with more people.

Tang Su told Sun Qing that she would meet her for lunch later with Bai Dingkai. Sun Qing, who was feeling somewhat down, brightened at the prospect of them coming.

Bai Dingkai was a big shot, and how much of a big shot, Sun Qing wasn’t particularly interested in; in her mind, anyone who could get her an autograph from Qi Jiu was a super big shot.

Sun Qing was thankful to him as well as his eight generations of ancestors.

Thinking about having lunch together, Sun Qing did not mention to Tang Su on the phone about Lei Lai coming to see her in the morning, nor the matter of Lei Wei’s miscarriage. Sun Qing preferred to complain about such vexations in person to Tang Su.

However, what Sun Qing did not expect was that she would not end up waiting for Tang Su.

Tang Su had disappeared.

On his end, Bai Dingkai finally managed to navigate out of the nearly gridlocked traffic, just a half-hour since he had last called Tang Su.

Bai Dingkai parked the car in a temporary parking area demarcated with white lines on the side of the road. He did not get out of the vehicle and immediately called Tang Su. Seeing that no one had exited the car, the roadside management staff began timing.

The Hua City government serves the people: parking on the roadside is free within fifteen minutes.

Tang Su did not answer the phone, and after Bai Dingkai redialed twice, the third time the call went through, all he heard was the mechanical voice—"Hello, the number you dialed is turned off."

Bai Dingkai: ???

Could it just be a coincidence that her phone ran out of battery?

Having no other choice, Bai Dingkai got out of the car to look for her. As soon as he stepped out, the management staff approached him to collect the parking fee.

In his haste to find someone, Bai Dingkai paid the five yuan parking fee without taking a receipt and rushed into the hospital.

Once he learned that the rabies vaccine was administered on the third floor, he bolted straight up there. Yet, after circling the entire third floor, whether it was the vaccination room or the resting area outside, there was no trace of Tang Su.

Unable to find the person and unable to get through to her on the phone, how could a full-grown person just disappear like this?

Although Bai Dingkai hadn’t known Tang Su for very long, he felt she wasn’t the type to up and leave without a word, knowing that he would come to pick her up.

Considering what Lu Han had said yesterday, someone had tampered with Tang Su’s beloved car just yesterday morning, resulting in her having no vehicle. Could it be that someone had brazenly made a move against Tang Su herself today?

In a society governed by laws, could there really be such bold and reckless individuals who acted without thinking?

If this had happened in Beijing, Bai Dingkai wouldn’t need to alarm Lu Han, as he could find Tang Su on his own, but now, he was in Hua City.

As the saying goes, even a powerful dragon can’t suppress a local snake.

It was clear that he couldn’t handle this without informing Lu Han.

Bai Dingkai quickly dialed Lu Han’s mobile number, and lo and behold, it rang twice but no one picked up.

Lu Han was busy right now. After sending messages to both Tang Su and Bai Dingkai earlier, he thought since Tang Su had Bai Dingkai accompanying her for the vaccine and lunch, he could be more at ease and focus on his work.

Under normal circumstances, as her boyfriend, he should be there for her, especially since Tang Su’s car had been vandalized just yesterday. However, knowing Tang Su’s resilient nature and understanding disposition, she wouldn’t want him to let it affect his work.

He also didn’t want Tang Su to think the incident was too serious.

So, after reporting the incident to the police, Lu Han also reached out using other channels, asking that person to investigate for him.

While the police couldn’t guarantee when they would provide a resolution, that person confidently assured him he would find out who was behind it all within three days.

Lu Han assumed that if it was the same group seeking revenge on Tang Su, they wouldn’t dare act so boldly within three days of the last incident.

However, there are always those who operate outside of common logic.

They believe they are geniuses, operating on their own logic.

Their strategy is to take you by surprise.

Furthermore, Chen Guang was lying in wait, having already kept watch for some time for this operation. What he hadn’t anticipated was that his wife despised Tang Su so much that she would take matters into her own hands to seek revenge on Tang Su without even telling him.

It seemed the snake was startled.

Once startled, Chen Guang was not afraid.

Once a person steel their heart, they can disregard everything else.

Lu Han’s phone was already on silent, and he had temporarily stowed it in a drawer. He had something to do at noon and needed to leave half an hour early, so he did not give out many appointment slots today.

Even though the number of slots was not large, they were snapped up in an instant. He still needed to find time to see the twenty or thirty patients.

Moreover, he had to go check on the inpatients and see Old Master Wu.

Bai Dingkai called three times, but Lu Han did not pick up, leaving Bai Dingkai with no choice but to give up and try calling Bai Dingxian. Unfortunately, the boy did not answer either.

Bai Dingkai was frustrated, so he decided to drive to Huanan Hospital.

If they won’t pick up the phone, he would speak to them face to face.

He raced to the hospital and arrived in less than half an hour. His first stop was the emergency department on the first floor, where he asked a nurse to find Bai Dingxian.

Seeing Bai Dingkai’s tone and complexion, the nurse thought he was there to cause trouble for Bai Dingxian and therefore apologized while shaking her head, "I’m sorry, Dr. Bai is busy."

"Busy..." my ass.

Bai Dingkai was just about to swear when he caught a glimpse of Bai Dingxian coming out of the restroom.

"Bai Dingxian—" Bai Dingkai shouted, startling everyone present. The nurse was about to call security, but then she heard Bai Dingxian call out "Second Brother."

Second Brother?

The nurses were all stunned and quietly set down the phone.

"Why did you come at this time? Aren’t you bored?" Bai Dingxian was incredibly busy, hardly keeping his feet on the ground. He had just managed to sneak away to the restroom after holding it for a very long time.

"Tang Su is missing," Bai Dingkai whispered into Bai Dingxian’s ear.

Bai Dingxian: "???"

How could that be?

But seeing Bai Dingkai’s serious and earnest face, this did not look like a joke to Bai Dingxian.

"Lu Han didn’t answer his phone, and I don’t know anyone here," Bai Dingkai said, trying to convey that he did not want to cause them any trouble—it was just that he had no other choice.

On unfamiliar turf, one can only bow down.

"I will go find Lu Han," Bai Dingxian decided on the spot and took Bai Dingkai to the second floor.

Lu Han was still at the outpatient clinic. When they entered, he was prescribing medicine for a patient with otitis media.

Seeing them arrive, Lu Han frowned slightly, then asked the nurse to take the patient out before pausing the appointments. "Second Brother, what are you doing here? Is something wrong with Tang Su?"

"She’s... gone." Bai Dingkai felt very guilty. If he had known something like this would happen to Tang Su, he wouldn’t have gone for a drive.

Then he wouldn’t have gotten into that car accident and been stuck in traffic for so long.

If he had taken Lu Han’s words to heart last night, he should have stayed with Tang Su the entire time. Perhaps, then, this unwarranted disaster wouldn’t have befallen her.

With a loud bang, Lu Han, who was usually as calm as the ocean’s surface upon hearing any news, suddenly stood up, bumping the desk. A metal file folder on the desk fell to the ground, making a loud noise.

"What do you mean?"

What does it mean Tang Su is missing?

In an instant, Lu Han’s heart clenched.

"I can’t reach Tang Su by phone. I had told her to wait for me at the hospital earlier, and when I arrived and couldn’t get through to her, I went inside to search. I checked the entire vaccination floor several times, back and forth, and there was no one."

"Lu Han, let’s not panic. Let’s first contact our colleagues there. My suggestion is we check the surveillance first, then call the police, or we can call the police first if you prefer."

Bai Dingxian, seeing Lu Han’s face was incomparably grim, was worried he might become overly anxious, so he quickly started offering advice.

"No need to contact anyone. You handle the patients behind me. If they can be seen by other doctors, arrange for their treatment; if not, give them a number and ask them to come back tomorrow," Lu Han said as he was taking off his white coat, instructing Bai Dingxian quickly.

His tone seemed not much different from usual, but if one listened carefully, they could detect the subtle grinding of teeth when Lu Han spoke.

No matter who had targeted Tang Su, they had truly infuriated him this time.
