Chapter 49: Chapter 49 Yinyin Disappeared

Qin Yan licked her pale lips before dialing the kindergarten teacher’s number.

All that came from the phone was a cold busy tone until it hung up automatically; no one answered. Qin Yan glanced at the mobile number, she hadn’t entered it wrong.

She redialed, but the result was the same.

Fear slowly overflowed in Qin Yan’s heart, and tears inevitably welled up in her eyes.

When her gaze fell upon the time displayed on her phone screen, her nearly lost sanity began to slowly return.

It was already close to one in the morning. Could it be that Yinyin’s teacher not answering the phone meant someone normally picked her up after school and she was fine?

She swallowed the bitterness in her mouth. When attending the celebration banquet, she had called Lu Xiangxiang to pick up Yinyin. Qin Yan had not received any news all day; did Lu Xiangxiang go to pick up Qin Yinyin again because of this?

Thinking this, Qin Yan dialed Lu Xiangxiang’s number.

After three rings, the call was answered.

"Who is this?" Lu Xiangxiang’s voice was cold as ice, seeming to be in a bad mood.

"Xiangxiang, it’s me, Qin Yan. Why aren’t you asleep?" Seeing her tone was not good, Qin Yan asked softly.

Over the wireless signal, Lu Xiangxiang gritted her teeth angrily, "Just talking about it makes me furious! I’m on a business trip with Old Mr. Feng in S City! He’s just a lunatic! That bastard, just after arriving here wouldn’t even let me catch my breath before insisting on starting a training meeting. It’s only just finished now. I don’t know what bad karma I had in my past life to end up in his hands this lifetime."

With this outburst, Qin Yan could tell from the gritted teeth in Lu Xiangxiang’s tone and her icy demeanor when answering the call that she was fuming!

Qin Yan massaged her temples. She had heard of this Mr. Feng that Lu Xiangxiang mentioned; he was young, talented, and extraordinarily handsome, with only one flaw: he was a workaholic.

Lu Xiangxiang had always been averse to such people, but fate had it that she was transferred to the president’s office to become Feng Chen’s secretary, probably suffering greatly under him. In private, Lu Xiangxiang had always referred to Feng Chen as Old Mr. Feng, the lunatic.

Upon hearing this news, Qin Yan’s heart instantly chilled. S City was four to five hours away from Tong City; Lu Xiangxiang must have left in the morning, so Yinyin was definitely not with her.

Qin Yan did not speak, and Lu Xiangxiang realized she hadn’t asked why Qin Yan was calling her at this hour.

"Yanyan, why are you calling at this time? Is something wrong? Whose mobile number is this? Why didn’t you use your own phone to call me?"

"Xiangxiang, did you see Yinyin today? Did you receive a call from Yinyin’s kindergarten?"

Qin Yan had a reason for asking this; Yinyin was particularly sensitive to numbers, and she usually contacted Lu Xiangxiang the most. Moreover, there had been several occasions when it was Qin Yinyin who made the call, so if she couldn’t get in touch with her, Qin Yinyin would definitely give others Lu Xiangxiang’s phone number.

"No, to ensure the quality of the meeting, Old Mr. Feng made us all turn off our phones. I’ve only just turned mine on now, and there are no missed calls. What’s happened to Yinyin?"

Qin Yan followed up, "Did you take Yinyin to school today?"

Lu Xiangxiang confirmed, "Yes, after I took Yinyin there, I sent you a text saying I was going on a business trip. Didn’t you see it?"

What could she have seen, after the celebration banquet, she had no idea where her phone was.

The more Qin Yan inquired, the more panicked she became, her voice changing tone.

In the hospital room, there were only Qin Yan and Bo Yunshen. The man remained silent, and aside from the occasional question from Qin Yan, the room was very quiet, so quiet that Lu Xiangxiang’s replies on the other end of the phone reached Bo Yunshen’s ears without missing a beat.

A scornful and gloomy smile flickered in Bo Yunshen’s dark pupils, and the frustration he had experienced in front of Qin Yan dissipated.

Bo Yunshen stopped smoking to eavesdrop more effectively. When Lu Xiangxiang answered the phone, the cigarette butt between his fingers accumulated a length of ash, which he occasionally flicked, scattering the ash across the floor.

Qin Yan thinks she’s so high and mighty, huh? No matter what, he was Qin Yan’s direct superior. He had stooped to saving her at the Night Club, and she hadn’t shown a shred of gratitude, even daring to talk back to him!

If he didn’t properly discipline Qin Yan this time and settle old scores with her, he might as well not be a Bo!

Bo Yunshen sprawled back, head tilted, enjoying the expression on Qin Yan’s face that was almost on the verge of tears, smirking triumphantly in his heart.

The bastard had said Qin Yan loved her most, right? Today, he was going to see just how far Qin Yan would go for her.

And Qin Yan’s best friend, who dared to speak ill of her own superior behind his back. Just like Qin Yan, of the same breed; none of them were good birds!

If he remembered correctly, it was she who had sent him the fake paternity test that morning. Having taken care of the child for Qin Yan’s woman, their relationship must be very close; whatever Qin Yan asked her to do, she would do!

How truthful could that paternity test be? It must certainly be a farce orchestrated by Qin Yan herself!

Only a fool like Old Gu would believe Qin Yan and Lu Xiangxiang’s words!

He was not going to dance to their tune!

"What’s going on? Yinyin is missing? Didn’t you pick her up this afternoon?"

The voice of Lu Xiangxiang came through, and Qin Yan hadn’t expected Lu Xiangxiang to be completely in the dark about Yinyin’s situation. A sense of urgency overwhelmed her, and she wanted to find Yinyin as soon as possible, so she didn’t bother explaining.

"No... Xiangxiang, let’s leave it at this for now, I have something else to deal with."

After Qin Yan spoke, she cut off the call.

The conversation hadn’t been clarified, and a busy tone was all that was left on the phone. Lu Xiangxiang, who knew Qin Yan’s character well—always keeping things to herself—subconsciously thought of calling back to get the full picture. Suddenly, the door to the hotel room was violently smashed.

Feng Chen was a man of grand gestures, having booked an entire floor for himself. In the middle of the night, besides him, Lu Xiangxiang couldn’t imagine who else would come knocking on her door.

The woman’s face was ferocious, yet she was forced to put on an elegantly smiling facade.

As soon as she opened the door, she was met with Feng Chen’s impatient face and his wide-open bathrobe revealing a sexily moist chest.

He appeared to have just taken a shower, his head still steaming, his facial features craftily chiseled, and his body sleek, not even the hotel’s loose bathrobe could hide his mature and steady demeanor.

When Lu Xiangxiang opened the door to such a vivid scene, she struggled to maintain her smile. Feng Chen, with a stern face, blurted out, "What’s the matter with you? Who have you been on the phone with for so long that it’s been busy?"

What?! She can’t even make a phone call now? As for that damn maniac, holding a training session until one in the morning, shouldn’t he be dragged out and flayed? What was he planning on doing, staying up this late?!

Anxious about Qin Yan, all Lu Xiangxiang wanted was to quickly dismiss Feng Chen, so she plastered on an even sweeter smile, "Mr. Feng, it’s so late, is there anything else you need?"
