As soon as Tong Yanqi went downstairs, he saw a man talking on the phone on the sofa.
Yu Wenzhi was seen sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, one hand resting on the armrest, supporting his forehead, and he looked a little tired.
Tong Yanqi estimated that he had not slept for five hours.
Seeing that Yu Wenzhi's attention was completely on the other end of the phone and he didn't notice himself who had just come down, Tong Yanqi tiptoed to the housekeeper beside him, took the black coffee from the housekeeper's hand, pointed to the kitchen, and whispered to the housekeeper to prepare some breakfast that was easy to digest and send it over.
Tong Yanqi then gently placed the coffee in his hand on the table in front of Yu Wenzhi and sat quietly beside him waiting for the person to finish the call.
Yu Wenzhi's entire attention was on the arrogant man on the other end of the phone, and he didn't notice that the person who brought the coffee was not the butler.
"Professor Yu, you don't want the hard work of two generations of the Yu family to be destroyed, right? And you don't want your brother to get into an accident abroad, do you?"
The person on the other end of the phone had a low, hoarse voice, filled with undisguised malice and sarcasm.
It doesn't sound like the voice of Sima Luhua's special assistant.
Yu Wenzhi frowned. Which subordinate of Sima Luhua was this?
"I will do my best to find my brother. If you are willing to help, the Yu family will be grateful. However, I am sorry that I cannot comply with your young lady's last suggestion."
"Hmph." The man on the other end of the phone chuckled, his tone full of confidence: "Give up struggling. Country X is our territory. Only by agreeing to our young lady's conditions and being with her can you have a chance of finding Yu Minzhi."
"This opportunity is too great to miss, Professor Yu. Is your brother and the Yu family more important, or is your girlfriend more important? Think carefully."
The man's voice was low and his tone was slow, as if a demon that was tempting people to fall into the abyss was whispering in Yu Wenzhi's ear, trying to drag the gentle and clean Yu Wenzhi into the endless abyss.
"..." Yu Wenzhi unconsciously rubbed his forehead with his hand, his voice full of hesitation: "Let me think about it for a while."
"Haha, okay, time waits for no one, Professor Yu, you have to make a decision as soon as possible." The man on the other end was very confident and thought he had completed the task assigned by his young lady.
After hanging up the phone, Yu Wenzhi's face darkened and turned cold. He closed his eyes and recalled what the man had just said.
Country X is our territory.
Only if you agree to the lady's conditions can you find Yu Minzhi.
…
Suddenly, Yu Wenzhi opened his eyes abruptly, picked up his phone and called his assistant Lu Yan: "Have you contacted Big Brother's assistant?"
Lu Yan was extremely busy at the company, but the news related to the head of the family, Yu Minzhi, had the highest priority, so he paid attention to it first.
"We've contacted him. He's in the hospital, but he got separated from the owner of the house. We don't know what happened to him later."
"Have him contact the bodyguards and mercenaries over there and investigate the Sima family! The Sima family is either the culprit or they know some inside information."
Yu Wenzhi narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke in a very firm voice.
"Okay, I'll contact them right away."
But just before hanging up, Lu Yan asked again, "Boss, do you want to go back to sleep?"
In fact, they have been busy with the disappearance of the head of the family during this period of time, and have been hiding it from the outside world until today when the news was leaked by someone with ulterior motives.
My boss must have been woken up by the leak of the news.
He had slept less than five hours in two days, and his boss had not been getting enough sleep in recent days. He was very worried that his boss might die suddenly.
"No, I'll go to the company later. You can hold on for another two hours and get four times the overtime pay. When the daytime workers arrive, you can go and rest."
Yu Wenzhi rubbed his brows and told Lu Yan to pass on the instructions.
Tong Yanqi had been listening quietly beside him. Although he couldn't hear what was said on the other end of the phone, seeing Yu Wenzhi's tired look, he knew that it was probably not good news.
Seeing that the person finally ended the call, without thinking about anything else, Tong Yanqi looked up and found himself, then spoke.
"Zhizhi, have you found it, big brother? Is it related to Sima Luhua?" Tong Yanqi had just heard Yu Wenzhi's instructions to Lu Yan, and naturally also heard Yu Wenzhi's doubts and speculations.
"No." Yu Wenzhi put his arms around Tong Yanqi, pulled her into his arms, leaned on her shoulder and sighed softly.
"Two days ago, Sima Luhua came to Jingnan University as an exchange student. She stopped me after class and asked me to break up with you and be with her."
Tong Yanqi was speechless. How could this woman make such a request so confidently? No one in their right mind would agree to it, right?
"I ignored her, but she put forward a condition. She used her family's power to help me find someone, and I was with her. The Yu family and the Sima family reached a cooperation."
Tong Yanqi sensed something was wrong and asked, "How did she know that my eldest brother was missing?"
This matter is too important to the Yu family. The news of Yu Minzhi's disappearance must be kept secret from others. Even I only found out about it this morning. Why would Sima Luhua, an unrelated person, know about this?
"It could be that the Sima family has a great influence in Country X and knows some unknown news, or it could be that..."
Yu Wenzhi looked at the void with sharp eyes: "This was done by the Sima family."
Thinking of the man's explicit and implicit meaning just now, Yu Wenzhi was more inclined to believe that Sima Luhua was the mastermind behind this matter, and that his elder brother was either in the Sima family or being pursued by the Sima family.
Tong Yanqi was puzzled. Sima Luhua went through so much trouble just to be with Yu Wenzhi?
The eldest daughter of a mafia family is a love-brained person?
At this time, the housekeeper came over to tell the two that breakfast was ready. Tong Yanqi immediately put these guesses behind his mind, pulled Yu Wenzhi to the restaurant, and said in a tone that could not be refused:
"I know you're going to the company soon, so eat some breakfast first to fill your stomach before leaving."
Whether Sima Luhua is in love remains to be verified, but the most important thing now is to eat breakfast.
Yu Wenzhi already has irregular sleep patterns, and if he doesn't eat breakfast, Tong Yanqi is worried that he will develop stomach problems.
Plus, Tong Yanqi's own stomach isn't very good, so they might end up becoming a pair of star-crossed lovers.
At the dinner table, Tong Yanqi relayed to Yu Wenzhi what Hua Yuanjun had just told him, and continued, "After breakfast, go back to the company. I'm taking a day off today and will go to Yu's house to see Aunt Yueyin."
Yu Wenzhi put down the spoon and looked up at Tong Yanqi.
The girl may have rushed downstairs as soon as she received the call, and she didn't even take care of her hair and face. Her hair was hanging down in a mess, and her face was sleepy as if she hadn't gotten enough sleep.
Yu Wenzhi pursed his lips and said softly, "Xixi, thank you."
Tong Yanqi showed his first smile this morning and turned his head to signal him: "Let's go. I will ask the housekeeper to bring lunch at noon and watch you finish it. Bye~"
