At this point, her voice suddenly stopped, and as she looked at the person in work clothes on the screen, an idea formed in her mind.
Judging from the height comparison between that person and the waiter next to him, he was clearly more than half a head taller. Judging from his height and build, he was obviously a man!
Immediately, her expression turned serious; it was clear that someone had pretended to be the aunt and taken the customer away from the store.
But why would they do that? What was that person's purpose in knowing they were coming and then destroying the camera beforehand?
Looking at the man's familiar gestures and movements, Shen Jiayu became even more certain that it was who had done it.
He immediately turned around and left without saying a word, his face grim.
As they were going downstairs, they ran into Xu Yichen, Song Yifei, and Song Qi, who were coming up from outside and preparing to go upstairs.
Song Qi met his gaze and subconsciously looked behind him, but did not see his senior. There was only a strange woman following behind him.
What's going on? Weren't you supposed to be here with your senior today?
Song Qi was puzzled and looked at Xu Yichen beside him.
Shen Jiayu only glanced at her before looking away. Just as he was about to turn and go downstairs, Xie Kerong, who had caught up from behind, grabbed his arm.
"Mr. Shen, we still haven't found Pingping. Where are you planning to go?"
Upon hearing the word "Pingping," Song Qi suddenly stopped and looked up at the two of them.
Then she grabbed Shen Jiayu's hand from the other side: "What's wrong with senior? Where did you take her?"
Shen Jiayu became even more irritated by the two arguing. He looked at the boy who was grabbing him and recognized him as the boy who had appeared at Pingping's house that rainy night.
What's he doing here? Is he looking for Pingping?
But he's in a hurry to get home to confirm something, and he doesn't have the energy to waste time talking nonsense with him.
He then shook off their hands and strode down the stairs toward his car parked by the roadside.
The driver was still waiting inside the car. When he saw Shen Jiayu walking over with a strange expression, he quickly got out of the car and opened the door for him.
But when he looked around, he didn't see the girl the boss had brought.
"Stop looking, let's go home right away."
Shen Jiayu got into the car and, ignoring the people over there, gave instructions directly to the driver.
The driver nodded, quickly returned to the car, started the engine, and drove towards the Shen residence.
Over there, Xie Kerong watched Shen Jiayu drive away and suddenly couldn't understand him anymore.
He was the one who was anxious when he learned that Pingping was missing, and now he's the one who left without saying a word.
What, has Shen Jiayu developed a split personality from all the experience he's had in the business world?
After Shen Jiayu left, Song Qi turned his gaze to the woman whose back was to him.
As if grasping at a last straw, he stepped forward, grabbed her shoulders, and asked earnestly, "Weren't you with him, senior? Where are you now?"
Xie Kerong was taken aback by his sudden question, and it took her two seconds to realize that he was probably asking about Su Ping.
So she turned her wary gaze to the boy and asked, "Who are you?"
Worried that her younger brother might scare Xie Kerong, Song Yifei tugged at Song Qi's arm, signaling him to let go of Xie Kerong first.
“We are Pingping’s friends, and we’ve come to see her.”
Girls' words are more likely to make people lower their guard. Seeing that the anxious expressions on their faces didn't seem to be acting, Xie Kerong told the truth: "We were just chatting in the tea restaurant, and then Pingping suddenly got her skirt splashed with water and was taken to the lounge to have it dried..."
Song Qi felt a jolt in his heart, and asked in a trembling voice, "And then what happened?"
Xie Kerong sighed, feeling a chill run down her spine as she thought about what happened: "Then Pingping disappeared from the lounge, and we're still trying to figure out how to find her as soon as possible."
It's because of Shen Jiayu again!
Song Qi clenched his fists, recalling the expression on Shen Jiayu's face when he left, and a guess formed in his mind.
Did he already know where his senior was?
Thinking of this, Song Qi turned to look at Xu Yichen beside him and called him "brother" for the first time.
"Brother Yichen, can you take me to the Shen Mansion?"
Although he didn't know where Shen Jiayu had just gone, his sixth sense told him that he must have gone home.
Xu Yichen felt a little smug after being called "brother" by him, and when he heard the news of Su Ping's disappearance, he also started to feel anxious.
The information they found happened to include the address of the Shen residence, so they nodded.
Seeing this, Xie Kerong quickly followed the others and got into the car.
Since Pingping disappeared right under her nose, she needed to see her brought back with her own eyes to feel at ease.
...
Su Ping felt a little dizzy and woke up to find herself with her hands tied and thrown onto the bed.
The surrounding environment was very dark. She looked around and could only vaguely see a large bed and some indistinct furnishings under her. It seemed to be a hotel.
Just then, the door to the other room was suddenly opened from the outside.
She immediately became alert and looked in that direction.
As the door closed again, the lights clicked back on, and the room was illuminated once more.
Su Ping frowned slightly, looking in that direction with a hint of unease.
I saw a man wearing a baseball cap and a mask, carrying a bag, slowly walking towards me.
Because of the medication, my body was completely weak, and even lifting my head took all my strength.
