Xiao Linye had never expected Ye Yuning to disappear from his world. His world had been chaotic, but now it also beca quiet.
Xiao Shuo, who had always been so boisterous and impulsive around him, was now locked up.
Qin Jinchuan... it seed several days had passed without him appearing!
Qin Jinchuan...
When he thought of this na, his eyes involuntarily grew colder.
Yes! Where had Qin Jinchuan gone? How could he not have appeared for several days? He used to seek out every day.
Ever since he had fully recovered and taken over the Qin Family, our interactions had beco more unrestrained.
The frequency of his visits was so open, it was as if he were afraid the people of the Qin Family *wouldn’t* find out.
He would either visit the office directly or call.
But these past few days...
Ye Yuning was gone, and Qin Jinchuan too?
Thinking of how quiet Qin Jinchuan had been recently, sothing suddenly flashed through Xiao Linye’s mind.
His expression turned frigid in an instant, as if he had been plunged into an ice cellar!
He pulled out his phone and dialed Qin Jinchuan’s number, quickly receiving the response he had anticipated.
"Hello, the number you have dialed is powered off. Please try again later."
Turned off. It was actually turned off...
He then dialed Ji Nan’s number.
Ji Nan’s call connected, and he answered quickly, "Mr. Seven, hello."
Despite the seemingly smooth tone, there was an obvious hint of guilt in his voice.
Xiao Linye asked, "Where’s Qin Jinchuan?"
"He went abroad. There’s a contract that requires his personal attention, so he’s overseas now."
Overseas...
Xiao Linye’s gaze darkened. "Which country?"
"Country F!" Ji Nan answered swiftly.
The depths of Xiao Linye’s eyes grew even colder.
He went abroad, so that’s why it’s been so quiet? Is this a coincidence, or...?
No, he wouldn’t be completely silent. Knowing Qin Jinchuan’s habits from when he was abroad before, even if he went to another country, he would still contact .
Because his family ties were weak, he valued friendship all the more.
Disappearing for several days like this... it had never happened before.
Xiao Linye closed his eyes briefly, then hung up the phone.
Then, he called Kang Xuan in. "Check imdiately where Qin Jinchuan is."
Rembering Qin Jinchuan’s previous determination to have Ye Yuning, Xiao Linye’s expression grew even more grim.
Kang Xuan was startled to hear he wanted to find Qin Jinchuan. "Qin... Young Master Qin?"
Find Qin Jinchuan?
Is Mr. Seven suspecting that Young Master Qin took away his ex-wife?
That shouldn’t be possible, right? Considering his many years of friendship with Mr. Seven, would he really run off with that woman?
If Young Master Qin really took her away, what would this all beco?
Kang Xuan felt completely numb.
Xiao Linye took a drag from his cigarette and uttered a single, frosty word, "Go."
"Alright, okay."
Kang Xuan nodded and hastily left to investigate.
Young Master Qin took Miss Ye away? If that’s really the case, then this... this...
Considering their years of friendship, wouldn’t this turn everything upside down between him and our Mr. Seven?
Kang Xuan left.
Once Xiao Linye was alone, the irritation creasing his brow was no longer concealed.
Just as he pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray, his secretary ca in to report, "President, Second Master is here."
Hearing that Xiao Li had arrived, the chill on Xiao Linye’s face intensified. This matter is far from over.
However, one had to admit Gui Xingli was ruthless.
And such ruthlessness... was perfect.
She had done all the things he was reluctant to handle personally.
This ti, his father’s thods had been too excessive.
And Xiao Shuo, in his view, was not at all innocent either...
Not long after the secretary left, Xiao Li walked in.
In just four short days, he looked no better than Xiao Linye, his face etched with exhaustion.
Ashuo was his son, after all; how could Xiao Li not be worried?
"Seventh Brother." Xiao Li’s voice was sowhat feeble as he called out, his tone careful and tentative.
Xiao Linye took out another cigarette and lit it, then handed the pack and lighter to Xiao Li.
Xiao Li accepted them but imdiately set them down. "I haven’t smoked in many years."
Xiao Linye’s hand, holding the cigarette, paused. He glanced at Xiao Li but said nothing.
Xiao Li felt a wave of panic under that gaze. "Aye, you have to help . Ashuo has been locked up for several days now."
It had only been a few days, yet Xiao Li spoke as if it had been much longer.
After all, Ashuo was his son. No matter what the boy had done, Xiao Li was always protective.
Xiao Li pleaded, "Please, just do this for , alright?"
Xiao Shuo had indeed been a troublemaker over the years. But in Xiao Li’s heart, all he truly wished for was his child’s well-being. As for anything more, he didn’t really expect Xiao Shuo to achieve greatness. He had recently placed him in the Xiao Corporation hoping he could learn to live independently in the future, rather than always relying on his father.
Who could have imagined sothing like this would happen?
"He can’t bear this kind of hardship; I’ve spoiled him all these years," Xiao Li wept bitterly.
Seeing him start to cry again, Xiao Linye felt his temples throb.
Xiao Li kept talking, crying and rambling at the sa ti.
Xiao Linye was so annoyed his head felt like it would explode. "Enough! Stop crying!"
I’ve never seen a grown man cry like this before. What is all this? Listening to him is simply maddening.
Xiao Li was startled by his outburst. "Seventh Brother, you... you..."
"Go cry outside. Don’t bother here."
He was already bothered enough by Ye Yuning’s disappearance; he had no energy left to deal with Xiao Shuo’s problems.
Besides, it was high ti Xiao Shuo was properly disciplined. His behavior was outrageous.
