When Xi Xiaye said that, Lan Zilang could feel the hint of uneasiness in the air.

At this moment, Liu LIngyu's solemn voice was heard once again, "Yes, Missus! To be precise, we've lost contact with Qi Lei. Since last night onwards, even his assistant, Yang Sheng, is missing!"

Xi Xiaye's beautiful face fell in an instant. She held tightly onto the phone nervously and took a few deep breaths before she calmed down.

"Missus, what should we do then? Do we want to make a police report? It seems like it hasn't been 24 hours yet. Can we make a police report? Also, do we want to tell Qi Qiming? I keep feeling like something's not right about all this!" Liu Lingyu asked for instructions.

Xi Xiaye could not help but feel a headache come on. With one hand propped on the table for support, she said, "Let's not panic first. Arrange for someone to contact everyone that Qi Lei is usually in touch with and the places he might go. Also, check on who spoke to Qi Lei and Yang Sheng last on the phone. See if there's anything suspicious. We're still not clear of the situation now, so don't make this public and keep a low profile."

Xi Xiaye was now slightly worried that something had happened to Qi Lei.

Gu Lingsha had just been released, and now this happened. Xi Xiaye found it weird no matter how she thought about it.

"Yes, Missus! I got it!" Liu Lingyu answered.

After she hung up, Xi Xiaye's brows furrowed into tight knots. From the side, Lan Zilang asked in concern, "What's wrong? Qi Lei's missing? Did something happen?"

Upon hearing Lan Zilang's question, Xi Xiaye supported herself with the table and said worriedly, "Mmm, Qi Lei and I were supposed to meet today, and then by the end of the day, not only did I not see him, but we couldn't even get through his phone. We couldn't contact him. He's always very punctual or will normally inform me beforehand if he's delayed, but right now, something's clearly not right."

"What about City B's end? Have you tracked him down?" Lan Zilang frowned and asked.

"CEO Liu's tried asking around. He should've flown back to City Z last night, but the boarding records show that they didn't even get on the flight."

Lan Zilang thought about it for a moment, then quickly assured, "Xiaye, don't be too worried first! Perhaps, he had something to handle at the last minute and was held back. I'll get people to look into the hotel that Qi Lei stayed at. Let's see if there are any clues."

Xi Xiaye nodded. "Okay, I'll have to trouble you then, Uncle Lan. If anything's wrong, I'll call Ah Chen. He has some connections at City B, so it'll be easier to investigate too."

"Okay, don't worry. It will be fine. I'll go and arrange this first. Take a look at these materials, and sign it if it's all good. Ask Xiao Mei to bring it to me," Lan Zilang said before leaving.

The office was suddenly quiet again. Xi Xiaye lowered her gaze and fell silent for a while. After that she sat back down in her chair, feeling extremely fraught with anxiety...

...

Even though Mu Yuchen was physically in New York, he knew about the situation in City Z like the back of his hand because if anything happened, Ah Bao would let him know immediately. For example, the second when Gu Lingsha just stepped out of the police station, Mu Yuchen was immediately informed.

It was a splendid, sunny morning in New York at the moment.

Mu Yuchen had woken up earlier. He handled a few urgent documents before leisurely enjoying his breakfast as he flipped through the newspaper to browse as usual.
