Despite being in a meeting, Fu Chengyan instantly answered his phone as soon as he heard the ringtone that was specially designated for Shi Nuan. He spoke on the phone multiple times but did not hear his wife say anything in response. All he could vaguely make out was the voice of Shi Nuan, who seemed to be talking to someone on the other end of the call.
Fu Chengyan immediately lifted his hand to stop his subordinate from continuing his report. In particular, when he heard Shi Nuan call out Shi Wei’s name on the phone, he abruptly got up and declared the dismissal of the meeting. As Fu Chengyan frantically walked out of the conference room, Zhou Zheng, who had been focused on jotting down minutes of the meeting, got up at once as well. “Mr. Fu!”
“Quickly track my wife’s location. Contact Jiang Hu and see where he is now!”
The man’s expression was extremely solemn as he hastily walked toward the elevator.
His hands clutched his phone tightly, and his face was as dark as the night.
Realizing the severity of the situation, Zhou Zheng instantly dialed Jiang Hu’s number.
Before the elevator doors shut, he hurriedly followed after Fu Chengyan and reported, “Mr. Fu, Jiang Hu says they’re at the hospital!” The hospital?
A sharp glint flashed across Fu Chengyan’s eyes, which were as black as ink. He clenched his fists tightly as he listened to the intermittent voices of Shi Nuan and Shi Wei through the phone. After some time, Fu Chengyan heard Shi Nuan utter an incomplete sentence before her phone totally lost its signal.
“Mr. Fu…”
“We’re heading to the hospital immediately. Where’s Jiang Hu?”
“Mr. Fu, Jiang Hu said that your mother accompanied Mrs. Fu to the hospital today while he and the others waited outside, so—”
“Useless!” Fu Chengyan strode out of the elevator and got into the car directly.
Meanwhile, Jiang Hu found out how serious the situation was the moment he received Zhou Zheng’s call. Thus, he contacted Su Shaoqing for the lockdown of the hospital.
Song Zhenyan could not help but feel somewhat worried after having waited for so long for Shi Nuan. She was about to go and look for her daughter-in-law when she saw a group of people surround the hospital. The person leading the group was Jiang Hu, the bodyguard who had followed her and Shi Nuan to the hospital.
“Jiang Hu, what happened?” Song Zhenyan walked over and saw Jiang Hu issuing a command for his men to surround the hospital. She instantly sensed that something was amiss. “Jiang Hu, where’s Nuan?”
“Madam,” greeted Jiang Hu courteously upon seeing Song Zhenyan. “We’re looking for her as well. Weren’t you with Mrs. Fu?”
“Nuan said she wanted to go to the restroom, so she asked me to wait for her.”
Before Song Zhenyan could continue, Jiang Hu frantically led some people to the restroom.
“Mr. Jiang, there’s someone here!” Jiang Hu’s subordinate shouted as he stood at the entrance of the female restroom. Jiang Hu immediately walked over, but surprise flashed across his face when he saw the woman lying on the floor.
“Mr. Fu, we found someone, but… it’s Shi Wei!”
Fu Chengyan’s expression turned stern, and he stepped hard on the gas pedal. The hospital was in complete lockdown; no one could get out without Fu Chengyan’s orders. Su Shaoqing hurriedly came over when he heard what had happened. He was momentarily stunned when he saw Shi Wei, who lay on the ground. Then, he turned to Jiang Hu and inquired, “Where’s Shi Nuan?”
The latter felt uncomfortable from head to toe under Su Shaoqing’s knife-like gaze. “Mr. Su, I’m sorry!” He had not managed to watch over Shi Nuan.
However, the look in Su Shaoqing’s eyes turned frosty as ice. “You’re sorry? What happened? Don’t tell me that you guys could not even keep an eye on one person!”
“I…”
By the time Fu Chengyan rushed to the hospital, there were already lots of people encircling the building. They were all basically Su Shaoqing’s men. With a terrifyingly grim face, Fu Chengyan went past them and headed up to the restroom on the second floor. Following behind the man, Zhou Zheng could sense his employer’s immense rage and frustration.
“Where is she?”
Fu Chengyan looked at Su Shaoqing, then at Jiang Hu. Lifting his leg, he gave Jiang Hu a kick in the chest.
The latter could not hold his stance against the blow, so he staggered a few steps back. Nevertheless, he managed to steady himself once more. “I’m asking you—where is she?”
“Mr. Fu!”
Fu Chengyan launched a kick at the bodyguard again. Unable to withstand the overwhelming force, Jiang Hu staggered a few steps backward and fell to the floor on one knee. “My apologies, Mr. Fu! I’ve let you down. I deserve to die!”
“Find her! Even if you have to flip the entire city upside down, find her!”
Fu Chengyan was like a raging lion at the moment; no one dared to approach him, fearing that they would be afflicted by his outburst.
They had seen Fu Chengyan in all sorts of demeanor, but they never had witnessed him in such a frightening state. His icy expression petrified those who laid eyes upon him. Again, he raised a leg and kicked Jiang Hu.
The latter instantly hit the wall at the back and spat out a mouthful of blood, causing the bodyguards standing behind him to glance at each other in fear.
