331: Chapter 331: Zhong Qin’s Father Goes Missing 331: Chapter 331: Zhong Qin’s Father Goes Missing “What’s wrong, Yu?” Tie Zhuzi, seeing the seriousness on Xiang Yu’s face, finally asked.

“It’s nothing, let’s go back,” Xiang Yu replied.

Although Xiaoxuan tried to keep his tone as usual, Xiang Yu could tell that something must have happened.

Upon returning to the hotel, Xiang Yu and his group came to their upstairs office.

There, they saw a man sitting on the sofa, dressed in a set of black suit, though the suit was somewhat worn.

When the man saw Xiang Yu and the others return, he quickly stood up.

Seeing Zhong Qin, he became excited, then hurriedly took two steps forward and said, “Miss.”

“Zhiwei, why are you here?

Could it be that my good-for-nothing old man has come back?

Where is he?

Take me to see him right away,” Zhong Qin said with great excitement.

Originally, Xiaoxuan was not certain of the man’s identity, but now seeing Zhong Qin recognizing him, he walked away and sat down on a sofa farther away.

The man’s name was Chen Zhiwei, and he was the number one bodyguard for Zhong Qin’s father.

Given that he appeared here, Zhong Huashan should also be in the vicinity.

Watching Chen Zhiwei’s dim expression, Xiang Yu knew that something must have gone wrong.

Sure enough, Chen Zhiwei looked at Zhong Qin with a face full of guilt and said, “We were ambushed on the way back, and the boss was taken away by someone.”

“What?

My dad was taken away?” This news was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Zhong Qin.

In her heart, her father was her sky, and as long as her father was there, she feared nothing.

However, suddenly hearing that her father had been kidnapped, she found it hard to accept.

“I’m sorry, Miss, I failed to protect the boss,” Chen Zhiwei said with much guilt.

Seeing Zhong Qin’s stricken face, Xiang Yu quickly went over to pat her shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, I will help you find your father.”

Looking at Xiang Yu’s serious face, Zhong Qin leaned weakly on Xiang Yu’s shoulder.

At that moment, Xiang Yu suddenly felt that Zhong Qin seemed to have grown up a lot.

As he stroked her long hair, Xiang Yu felt a twinge of heartache for the girl before him.

“How did you find your way here?” Xiang Yu asked Chen Zhiwei piercingly.

Chen Zhiwei looked at Xiang Yu calmly and said, “Thank you for taking care of the miss during this time.

Actually, I had noticed you for a while, but didn’t approach.”

“You suspect it was me?” Xiang Yu asked, looking at him.

Chen Zhiwei shook his head and continued, “Right now, I trust no one.”

At that moment, Xiang Yu suddenly thought of the incident that had occurred the previous night, and after glancing at Chen Zhiwei’s neck, which bore no scars, he confirmed that it could not have been him that night.

“Who do you suspect?” Xiang Yu asked, helping Zhong Qin to the sofa to sit down.

Chen Zhiwei shook his head and, with a guarded look, did not speak.

“I want to take the miss away, to a safe place,” Chen Zhiwei said.

“This place is secure,” Xiang Yu replied.

Still unsure of the other’s motives, he naturally wouldn’t hand Zhong Qin over.

Although Chen Zhiwei was Zhong Huashan’s top bodyguard, Xiang Yu had never met the man before and did not know his character.

“I have a safer place for her to go.

I failed to protect the boss, but I must protect the miss,” Chen Zhiwei insisted.

“I’m not going anywhere.

I will stay by Xiang Yu’s side; he will certainly find my father,” Zhong Qin said, looking at Xiang Yu.

Zhong Qin’s response was clearly something Chen Zhiwei hadn’t expected.

Chen Zhiwei had followed Zhong Huashan for two years, and he and Zhong Qin were very familiar over that time.

But Xiang Yu had only been in contact with Zhong Qin for a short time, yet she trusted Xiang Yu over herself, which left him feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

“Miss, it’s not safe here, I must take you away.” Chen Zhiwei looked concerned.

Xiang Yu had been observing the other’s expression, only to see that it seemed truly sincere, with nothing amiss.

“What do you mean it’s not safe here?

How can it be unsafe with my Brother Yu protecting us?” Tie Zhuzi was getting impatient and then spoke up.

Xiang Yu raised a hand to stop Tie Zhuzi and then looked at Chen Zhiwei, “If you came here today just to take Zhong Qin away, then you can go now.”

Xiang Yu’s words were definitive, leaving no room for doubt or challenge.

At that moment, Zhong Qin suddenly said, “Zhiwei, why don’t you stay as well?

If you and Xiang Yu work together to investigate my father’s whereabouts, it might be faster.”

After hearing this, Chen Zhiwei looked at Xiang Yu with an undecided expression, though it was clear he agreed with the suggestion.

But Xiang Yu felt troubled, as he knew nothing about Chen Zhiwei, and having him stay brought a great deal of uncertainty.

He wasn’t like Jiang Chao and Wang Ze.

They had been mingling here before, and had it not been for Xiang Yu’s arrival, they would have continued to do so.

Chen Zhiwei, on the other hand, had come on his own initiative; as the boss’s main bodyguard, his identity and status held particular significance, and thus few people knew about him.

“Xiang Yu, what do you think?” Zhong Qin looked at Xiang Yu with anticipation.

Now that her father was confirmed kidnapped, her only reliance was on Xiang Yu.

“What about you?” Xiang Yu looked at Chen Zhiwei.

“I must stay by Miss’s side to protect her, to ensure she is not harmed again,” Chen Zhiwei said decisively, his intent clear: he wanted to stay.

“You can stay, but the kidnapping of the boss must not be leaked, the same goes for all of you, not a word to anyone,” Xiang Yu said, looking at the few people present.

Xiang Yu worried that once the news got out, whether it was Miao Honglei or Shen San, they would probably take action.

After all, though they were ostensibly friendly, there was an undercurrent of struggle.

Just like Shen San always wanting to get involved in the business of Miao Honglei.

“Don’t worry, I know what’s at stake,” Chen Zhiwei hastened to say.

Xiang Yu nodded, tacitly acknowledging Chen Zhiwei’s stay.

He then looked at Tie Zhuzi, “Zhuzi, go find him a room and make arrangements.”

Tie Zhuzi understood that Xiang Yu wanted to send the other away for the moment, so he quickly stood up and led Chen Zhiwei outside.

“Xiaoxuan, from today on, you stay by Zhong Qin’s side, and ensure nothing happens to her,” Xiang Yu instructed.

“Don’t worry, Brother, I understand,” Xiaoxuan knew Xiang Yu didn’t trust Chen Zhiwei.

“Xiang Yu, will you be able to find my dad?” Zhong Qin asked with hope in her eyes.

She knew her question was redundant, but she wanted to hear Xiang Yu’s promise.

It was evident just how important her father was to her.

“Don’t worry, no one can bully you with me here, and I will do my best to help you find your father,” Xiang Yu promised.

Hearing Xiang Yu’s words, Zhong Qin finally felt somewhat reassured.

But Xiang Yu also felt a headache coming on, for Zhong Huashan had made it to his current position by crossing many people.

Moreover, Xiang Yu was entirely unfamiliar with Zhong Huashan’s social circle, making the investigation quite difficult.

Yet, Xiang Yu had a vague feeling that the person from that night was somehow linked to this affair, meaning he wouldn’t have to search.

The other party would come to him…
