“Okay, auntie. I’ll get to that now.”
Qin Qitong then fished out her phone but suddenly thought of something before she called and said, “Auntie, why don’t you give cousin a call, too, and talk to him about the present situation?”
“You call that young man first and ask where Ge Ge is.”
“Okay.”
Upon hearing the older woman’s response, the girl nodded her head and dialed Fu Mingxuan’s number.
However, oddly enough, the man did not pick up the call even after it rang for a while.
[Sorry. The number you’re calling is busy at the moment…]
Listening to the female automated voice on the phone, she frowned instantly.
“What’s wrong?” asked her aunt anxiously.
“He’s not picking up,” she said gloomily.
“Try calling again. Maybe he’s busy moments ago so he didn’t pick up.”
“Okay. I’ll do that.”
She nodded and dialed the man’s number one more time but this time around…
[Sorry. The number you’re calling is out of coverage…]
“…”
Hearing that, the anxiety in her heart mounted.
She lifted her head and looked anxiously at the couple.
“He turned off his phone!”
“Turned off?! Why would he do that? Wasn’t it on earlier?”
Madam Ji instantly furrowed her brows; she, too, felt slightly uneasy about it.
“Did you call the wrong number?”
“Impossible! How could I have called the wrong number? It’s really that guy’s number! I saved his number on my phone!”
At the sight of the two women getting anxious, Mister Ji’s brows twitched slightly. He then calmly shifted his gaze onto his niece and his wife.
“Stop worrying; she is already an adult and won’t disappear for no reason.”
“Hubby, how can I not be anxious when that’s our future daughter-in-law we’re talking about? P-Plus, how can I not be worried when such an incident happens?”
“That’s right, uncle! You don’t know how all those people online are talking about my Sister Pei Ge! Also, I’ve always felt that something is off with that guy. We should find her quickly! If not, I won’t feel at ease.”
His words did receive great reactions from the two.
The more they said, the more anxious they got!
Hence, the two jointly rebuked him.
“…Alright. It’s no use if you guys just talk here. You should give Ziming a call. He is close to that Mingxuan lad and should have an idea.”
“Right! Cousin and that rascal are close buddies. Since cousin is so powerful, he’ll definitely be able to find him! It’s possible that that guy kidnapped Sister Pei Ge!”
As she said this, the girl found her thoughts to be reasonable and strongly felt that Fu Mingxuan had hidden Pei Ge away.
“What nonsense are you saying?”
The older man frowned at his niece.
“What nonsense? I feel that our niece’s words are sound! Anyway, that young man is linked to Ge Ge’s disappearance!”
“Yes!”
Seeing the auntie-niece pair’s confident look, the man only felt helpless.
“I’ll call and tell our son about this right now! Let him find that young man himself!”
“Right! Find that guy!”
…
“Sir, the culprit should have a very capable IT as an ally in creating this chaos. T-That’s why…”
In the huge office, everyone looked cautiously at Ji Ziming who was occupying the head seat.
Although their big boss was expressionless, they could still fill the murderous aura coming from him.
“Er…”
The person, who was reporting this, stuttered due to his superior’s intimidating aura.
“Cough. Wrong. We can also employ highly skilled ITs. Sir, please rest assured that we’ll definitely have a result ready in a few days’ time!”
The employee, who changed his words, felt as if he had traveled to the gates of hell and back as he sweated profusely.
“Sir, currently, deleting those posts online is of no use and only makes the netizens unhappy.”
Before this employee could finish his report, he was interrupted by the man’s chilly voice.
“Continue deleting! As long as there’s a single related post or comment to my ‘wife’, delete it!”
His icy words were transmitted into the ears of everyone listening, and they could not help but shudder inwardly.
Amid this tense atmosphere, a clear, instrumental music rang.
This ringtone jolted everyone awake.
They were all thinking who among them was unlucky enough to neglect turning off his phone during this meeting. It happened to be when their great CEO was in a foul mood, too!
Without thinking about it, everybody knew that this person was doomed!
However, not long after, they heaved a sigh of relief.
That was because—
The unlucky guy who did not turn off his phone was the great CEO himself!
Hearing his phone ring, Ji Ziming frowned slightly.
When he saw that the caller was his mother, he eyed all the employees in the conference room and said, “Meeting adjourned.”
After speaking coldly, he stood up from the main seat and headed outside.
His footsteps slowed down once he was out.
Lowering his head and seeing the phone still ringing, the man picked it up just before he reached his office.
“Hello, mom…”
Just as he picked up the call, his mother’s worried voice came through.
“Hello, Ming Ming! Your fiancée has been abducted and hidden away by one of your friends, Mingxuan!”
Hearing his mother’s absurd words, he instinctively did not believe. “…Mom, what are you talking about?”
“I’m telling the truth, son! It’s real! That young man abducted Ge Ge! Their phones can’t be contacted, and we can’t find your fiancée anywhere!”
