Su Youli is forced to marry as a substitute, suppressing her true nature to become the obedient replacement that satisfies Li Tingxi—servicing him in bed at night and working tirelessly by day.
...Chapter 634 Search
"Su Su? Su Su!" After realizing something was wrong, Li Tingxi wished he could grab the steering wheel and drive himself. "Faster! Faster! Something must have happened to Su Su."
Seeing him covered in sweat, his eyes turning fierce and agitated, his fists clenched so tightly that the veins bulged... as if he was about to have another attack, Qin He quickly turned his head and reminded him, "President, contact President Ding. Madam and President Ding are discussing business at a high-end club, they shouldn't be too far away."
“Even if Li Qidong has the ability to sneak into the club and arrest someone, it won’t be easy for him to leave. Besides, it would take us at least twenty minutes to get there, which is far slower than President Ding’s speed…” Before he could finish speaking, Li Tingxi directly called Ding Muyan and asked, “Has Su Su not returned yet?”
"She went to the restroom, and it's been more than ten minutes." Ding Muyan immediately stood up, his expression changing. "What happened?"
"Li Qidong... is back! He kidnapped Su Su. You need to send people to seal off the area at the club immediately. We absolutely cannot let him escape," Li Tingxi instructed.
Ding Muyan immediately opened the door and was about to give instructions to the bodyguards when he saw the two men running over from around the corner, holding Su Youling's shattered phone. "Mr. Ding, Miss Su has been kidnapped."
"Then why did you all come back? Send men to chase after them right now! If you can't find them, all of you get out of here!" Ding Muyan kicked angrily. "Where did they run off to?"
“The stairwell. We’ve already called the brothers to split up and search,” the bodyguard said quickly.
"I'll go myself and contact the club manager immediately. If he loses the person, he can forget about doing business here anymore." Ding Muyan said to Li Tingxi as he ran. "The person was just arrested and must still be in the club."
"This is troublesome," Li Tingxi said. "Twenty minutes."
At that moment, the two didn't say anything extra, seemingly reaching an unprecedented tacit understanding, and each went their own way.
Ding Muyan hung up the phone and immediately led his men to the monitoring room.
The club was crowded and noisy. Since Li Qidong dared to so openly alarm the bodyguards, he must have an escape route. Therefore, it was absolutely impossible to catch up with him on foot at this time.
In the monitoring room, the manager rushed in, wiping the cold sweat from his brow. "Mr. Ding, as you instructed, all the entrances and exits of the club have been temporarily closed. The people Mr. Li contacted, as well as the police, are also controlling access outside the club. The kidnapper definitely can't escape."
“There are just too many people in the club, and we can’t make a big fuss and alert all the guests. We can only follow the police and check one by one, which is too much and will take time. Please don’t worry. We can find people through the surveillance footage more quickly…”
"You can say that to me without a problem. But when Li Tingxi comes, he'll wipe out this whole place, believe it or not?" Ding Muyan sneered.
The manager froze. "The missing person is President Li's..."
“Madam,” Ding Muyan said.
The manager nearly peed his pants in fright. "Mrs. Li... Mrs. Li? Oh dear, why didn't you say so sooner? If Mr. Li finds out that his wife was kidnapped right under our noses, if anything happens to Mrs. Li... we're finished! Finished!"
He rushed to the surveillance camera in a panic. "How is it? Have you found anything wrong with all these cameras? If two people can't do it, call all the people on duty. We must find the person as soon as possible."
"The surveillance..." the monitoring room manager said nervously, "Manager, in the half hour before and after Mrs. Li's disappearance, the floor..."
#Please do not use incognito mode whenever verification is required!
The surveillance system is broken; it must be...it must be a hacker intrusion. We haven't noticed anything unusual; the footage hasn't changed at all.
"Useless trash! What's the point of our club paying so much money to hire a bunch of useless people like you?" The manager angrily kicked the man aside and immediately made a phone call to his subordinates, "Quickly! Gather all security personnel and staff and have them search every floor and room, cooperate fully with the police, and don't let any suspicious person slip by..."
"Manager, many VIP clients are here. If we disturb them so abruptly, we might offend them..."
"You don't know anything!" the manager said angrily. "You've offended them, can't you apologize? If we can't find them and we've offended Li Tingxi, we're all doomed, and this club will have to close down."
His men were startled when they heard this.
This club can stand out in City A, and its strength and backing should not be underestimated. So far, what storms hasn't the manager weathered?
This is the first time I've ever seen him so scared!
Judging from the situation, the missing person must be someone of great importance.
"We'll get right away." The subordinate immediately went to find the person as instructed.
In an instant, the entire club was filled with the shouts and curses of the guests, the soothing apologies of the staff, and the sounds of the police searching... It was complete chaos.
More than ten minutes passed, and Li Tingxi kept calling to urge them to come back, but the person still hadn't been found.
The manager was so anxious he was practically begging for forgiveness.
At this moment, Ding Muyan had a flash of inspiration and extended the monitoring time to half an hour before the incident, starting by checking the surveillance footage from the various passageways of the club. He quickly discovered that something was wrong.
"These two people entered the club through the VIP entrance half an hour before the incident. There wasn't a single security guard checking them along the way. Who are they?" He zoomed in on the surveillance footage and squinted slightly.
A man and a woman arrived hand in hand, their posture intimate.
The man was wearing a hat, so his face couldn't be seen. He was dressed in a suit and appeared to be overweight, but he was tall, had long legs, and moved very nimbly. The woman in his arms was wearing a hot white dress with long hair that covered most of her face, and the surveillance camera couldn't capture her face clearly.
The manager glanced at them and hesitated before saying, "This... is our company's Chairman Wang and his new lover. They come to our club every day at this time for a secret rendezvous. These clothes are all high-end custom-made, the same brand that Chairman Wang always wears, along with his signature cufflinks, belt, and shoes... His style is always very consistent and easy to recognize."
"Because Madam Wang is fierce and shrewish, everyone here has to keep quiet. They come every day, and lately they've been coming more often, so the security guards have stopped asking questions and don't dare to look too closely, after all, she's a big boss."
"Is that so?" Ding Muyan didn't press further and continued to drag the progress bar to half an hour later. Sure enough, around the same time Su Youling disappeared, that Chairman Wang left in a hurry with his mistress, dressed exactly the same.
The two became even more intimate and inseparable along the way, their faces almost invisible.
More importantly, Chairman Wang left with his mistress half-embracing him.
Because of their overly intimate posture, the bodyguards on duty dared not look too closely, fearing that looking inappropriately would cause trouble for them.
However, judging from the zoomed-in footage of the surveillance video, the woman's feet were never exerting any force throughout the entire incident.
She was unconscious!
