Chapter 470: Saving Rong Qi

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Youre the schemer and definitely a manipulator too! Rong Qi cursed inwardly. She suspected that it was Sheng Jians petty revenge for her earlier comment about her mother being a manipulator.

Rong Qi hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly allowed herself to be lifted. Her face wore an expression of discomfort, as if humiliated. Sheng Jian effortlessly hoisted her into his arms, light enough to make him question his own strength.

Sheng Jian paused, then grumbled, Who asked you to play the saint, rus.h.i.+ng to save that worthless man? Feel humiliated now? Serves you right! Lets see if hell even be grateful to you. Hmph

As Sheng Jian walked, carrying Rong Qi and complaining, he realized she wasnt retorting as she usually would. He stopped and heard a soft sigh escaping her lips. With a resigned sigh of his own, he quickened his pace, carrying her toward a VIP ward.

Madam has gone missing, said Xu Yi.

Those words struck like a bolt of lightning from a clear sky.

Xu Yi clung to Zhuang Ling, his legs twisted like braids and his face a river of tears and snot. Zhuang Ling, save me Im done for. I only went to deliver something and Madam vanished when I returned. Im dead meat

This was not the first time that Rong Qi had gone missing on his watch. Somehow, Xu Yi could foresee that his days were numbered.

Zhuang Ling shuddered at the news. He couldnt even begin to imagine the wrath that would be unleashed by Ye Nanshen upon hearing that. One bullet would probably be too kind for Xu Yi.

Frustrated, Zhuang Ling poked Xu Yis forehead, How many times has this happened, and you still havent learned your lesson!

Blame me all you want, but you have to tell Master.

Zhuang Ling hesitated, inwardly debating whether or not he dared to. He asked, Where did you last see Madam?

At the university gate. She went out for dinner with Mr. Sheng. I was waiting outside. Then you called me to deliver something. Its all your fault My fate rests in your hands now.

Zhuang Ling clenched his teeth, released Xu Yi, and took a deep breath before entering the office.

Master, after Madam went out to dine with Mr. Sheng, she disappeared. Zhuang Ling kept his words concise, lowering his head in antic.i.p.ation of the explosion that was sure to come.

And, sure enough, an overpowering aura of wrath targeted Zhuang Ling almost instantly.

What do you mean, disappeared? Ye Nanshen asked.

She went to Kudo Pavilion with Mr. Sheng for dinner. I had Xu Yi deliver something for me, and when he returned, she was gone. My apologies, Master. Its my fault.

Though trembling, Zhuang Ling took full responsibility.

Ye Nanshens grip tightened on his pen, puncturing the paper he was signing. He reached for his phone to call Rong Qi. There was no one answering. He then had Zhuang Ling fetch Sheng Jians private number. Sheng Jians phone was switched off as well.

Ye Nanshen abruptly stood up, kicking his executive chair aside. His eyes were cold storms. He commanded, Deploy our men immediately. Were going to the Sheng residence to get her back!

As Ye Nanshen strode out, Zhuang Ling followed, answering, Yes, sir.

The order to deploy was the first in three years. In less than ten minutes, Zhuang Ling and Xu Yi changed into combat gear, fully armed and following closely behind Ye Nanshen.

Though it didnt seem like any special day, the sight of helicopter after helicopter circling in the sky and convoy after convoy of black SUVs on the ground drew the towns attention. The spectacle was overwhelming; people couldnt help but speculate about the gravity of the situation. Those who stepped out to spectate were quickly scared back inside..
