The temperature of the entire meeting room plunged to freeing point. The crowd looked at one another, silent, and even slowed their breathing, for fear of disturbing Young Master Ye.
What was the matter with Young Master Ye?
Did something major happen?
Was the company going bankrupt?
While the crows were making wild guesses, Ye Sijue only frowned and called the number back.
However, it didn’t get through. An emotionless woman’s voice rang out, “The phone you are trying to reach has been turned off. Please try again later…”
Ye Sijue’s gaze turned cold, and he clenched his fists tightly, as though trying to crush the phone in his hands.
He got up suddenly and walked out of the meeting room without a word.
The crowd didn’t dare to breathe under the intensely dreadful atmosphere.
Ye Sijue looked grave as he hurried over to the surveillance room and got someone to extract video feeds relating to Mo Xiaomeng.
She had still been in the ground lobby half an hour ago.
He noticed her blatantly unhappy expression as she walked out of the building slowly.
D*mmit, didn’t he tell her not to leave the building?
His expression was dark as he slammed a fist on the table, shocking the people around him. They stopped breathing, for fear of angering him.
There was no more video surveillance after Mo Xiaomeng left the building. No one knew where she went.
What made her leave so suddenly?
Back at the office.
Ye Sijue dialed Mo Xiaomeng’s number once more, but her phone was still switched off.
There was rage in his eyes, and it took some endurance to not smash his phone.
He took a few deep breaths before he called Yin Shaojie.
Luckily, the call was picked up very soon.
“Hello,” said Yin Shaojie.
Ye Sijue’s voice sounded choked because of his suppression as he asked, “How is Xiaoxiao? Has she remembered anything yet?”
“No, what’s the matter?” Yin Shaojie realized that he sounded a little off.
Ye Sijue paused. His voice was stiff as he continued, “Xiaomeng… is missing.”
“How did that happen? How did she go missing?” Yin Shaojie asked in a low voice.
Ye Sijue paced around frustratedly and pinched the space between his eyebrows as he explained, “She was alright just now. I brought her to my company and she disappeared while I was in a meeting. She then called me and said that she was going home before hanging up.”
His normally intelligent mind was now in a mess.
He didn’t know what had happened to cause this.
She was clearly fine just a while ago!
With a down expression on his face, Ye Sijue kicked the coffee table. “D*mmit! I shouldn’t have let her wander about!”
However, no one could stop Mo Xiaomeng if she received a call and left of her own will.
Upon thinking of this, Ye Sijue’s mood fell abysmally.
Even if she wanted to go off and go home, why had she told him so abruptly?
Ye Sijue chuckled coldly.
Was she trying to reassure him that she wasn’t being kidnapped? Was she leaving out of her own volition?
Rage clouded Ye Sijue’s eyes.
Did she not loathe to part with him?
Even though they were separated by their phones, Yin Shaojie seemed to be able to feel his emotions. He suggested, “How about coming over to the condominium? We can think of what to do together.”
“I’ll head over now.” Ye Sijue ended the call.
