Chapter 454 People Disappeared

She deliberately emphasized the three words "only me", like a poisoned dagger, accurately piercing Chi Wenyan's heart.

Chi Wenyan clenched his fists suddenly, and veins popped on the back of his hands. He stared at Su Jiujiu, his voice icy cold: "What do you want?"

"It's very simple." Su Jiujiu raised her hand and gently brushed the hair by her ear. Her movements were elegant, but her eyes were filled with calculation. "I know Mr. Chi is very busy right now. How about we change places and have a good talk?"

As she spoke, she glanced meaningfully at her surroundings. A few eyes in the cafe were already turning their gazes in her direction.

Chi Wenyan's chest heaved violently as he suppressed the rage in his heart. For Nian Nian, he couldn't lose control here. He took a deep breath and squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Lead the way."

Su Jiujiu raised the corner of her lips in triumph and turned to walk out first. Zhao Xiyue stood there in despair, watching Chi Wenyan follow without hesitation, her heart aching.

Chi Wenyan followed Su Jiujiu out of the cafe and got into a black car that had been waiting on the roadside. The car window slowly rose, blocking out the noise from the outside world and also blocking out Zhao Xiyue's desperate sight.

The light inside the car was dim, and the atmosphere was so oppressive that it made people breathless. Su Jiujiu handed over a glass of water: "Boss Chi, drink some water and calm down."

Chi Wenyan didn't answer, but just looked at her coldly: "Tell me your conditions."

Su Jiujiu was not annoyed. She withdrew her hand, took a sip, and then spoke slowly, "My conditions are very simple. Mr. Chi will definitely be able to do it..."

Her words seemed to carry some kind of magic, becoming softer and softer, further and further away. Chi Wenyan felt his eyelids grow heavier, a strong sense of dizziness washed over him, and his consciousness quickly blurred. Before he completely lost consciousness, the last thing he saw was Su Jiujiu's face with a strange smile.

After an unknown amount of time, Chi Wenyan suddenly opened his eyes.

The glare of the light made him squint subconsciously, and then a hangover-like headache came. He moved his body, but was horrified to find that he was naked!

He sat up abruptly and looked around. This was an unfamiliar hotel room, luxuriously decorated, but the air was filled with an ambiguous scent, a mixture of perfume and... the smell of lovemaking!

"Damn it!" Chi Wenyan growled, his handsome face instantly filled with gloom, his eyes burning with rage. He lifted the quilt and saw traces on the sheets that didn't belong to him.

Humiliation! Angry! Disgusted!

All sorts of emotions flooded him instantly.

He was actually plotted against in such a despicable and shameless way!

He forced himself to calm down, quickly got out of bed, and searched the room for his clothes.

Fortunately, the clothes were thrown casually on the sofa. Although they were a little messy, they were still intact.

He put on his clothes as quickly as possible, took out his cell phone, dialed a number, and said in a voice as cold as ice: "Find out where Su Jiujiu took me last night. Find out about this hotel and what happened last night. I want to know all the details."

The person on the other end of the phone was obviously frightened by the anger in his tone, and responded immediately and took action.

After hanging up the phone, Chi Wenyan stood by the window, looking at the unfamiliar street scene outside, his eyes terrifyingly sinister.

Su Jiujiu, this woman, is so bold that she is lawless. Does she think she can succeed by using this method?

He will never let her go!

Not long after, the phone rang again.

"Mr. Chi, we've found out. Miss Su took you to the presidential suite on the top floor of the 'Mei Ye' Hotel last night. We checked the surveillance, but the surveillance on the key floors was malfunctioning during that time..."

The subordinate's voice was hesitant, "But we have found out where Miss Su is now."

"Speak!" Chi Wenyan's voice was cold.

"She's currently in the Hematology Department at the City Center Hospital. According to the hospital, she's cooperating with the doctors to undergo examinations and preparations for a bone marrow transplant..."

Hospital? Bone marrow transplant?

Chi Wenyan's hand holding the phone suddenly tightened, and his knuckles turned white from the force.

Su Jiujiu, the woman who had just plotted against him with despicable means, was actually in the hospital at this moment, preparing to donate bone marrow for his daughter?

What's this? A slap in the face followed by a candy?

Or was this all a conspiracy orchestrated by her from the beginning to the end?!

A bone-chilling anger rose from the depths of Chi Wenyan's heart and quickly spread to every part of his body.

He hung up the phone, grabbed his coat, and strode out of the hotel room.

He wanted to go to the hospital immediately. He wanted to see with his own eyes what tricks that vicious woman was playing. He wanted to make her pay a heavy price for her actions.

Chi Wenyan rushed into the hospital building and went straight to the hematology ward.

The corridor was filled with the smell of disinfectant, mixed with the heavy atmosphere of illness, but he had no time to care.

The only thing in his mind was Su Jiujiu's face and the glaring marks on the bed sheet.

He found the ward number where Su Jiujiu was registered and pushed the door open.

The ward was empty, the bed tidy, as if no one had ever stayed there.

"Where are the people?!" Chi Wenyan grabbed a nurse passing by in the corridor, his voice filled with suppressed anger.

The nurse was frightened by his cold eyes and powerful aura. "Who are you looking for?"

"Su Jiujiu! Su Jiujiu who lives in this ward!"

"Oh, Miss Su..." The nurse looked puzzled. "Miss Su was discharged this morning. She only underwent a series of tests, so she didn't need to stay in the hospital for too long."

Discharged from the hospital? Left?!

Chi Wenyan's pupils suddenly constricted, and a chill shot from the soles of his feet straight up to the top of his head. She actually ran away!

He suddenly let go of the nurse, took out his cell phone, and dialed his subordinate's number again.

"Check for me! Did Su Jiujiu leave the hospital? Where did she go? Immediately, right now!"

There was a hurried response from the other end of the phone.

Chi Wenyan stood at the door of the empty ward, his handsome face tense and his eyes as cold as ice.

She planned it all out, set him up, and then just walked away like that? Who did she think she was?!

Not long after, the phone rang again.

"Mr. Chi, we've found out. Miss Su did leave the hospital this morning. We checked the surveillance footage inside and outside the hospital. She got into a taxi at the hospital entrance and then disappeared."

The subordinate's voice was tinged with unease. "We can't find any information about that taxi. It's like it appeared out of thin air... We've set up surveillance throughout the city, but we still have no leads."

Disappeared? Reappeared out of nowhere?

The joints of Chi Wenyan's fingers holding the phone turned white and veins bulged.
