Chapter 269: Playing Missing
Pei Xingzhi held Xiang Xiang in his arms and coaxed him to sleep while he said to Zhao Siming on the phone, "Now, should you give up?"
Zhao Siming: "Give up, I will send you everything you want within half an hour."
"Okay." Pei Xingzhi looked at Xiangxiang and smiled.
"Then my mother and my girlfriend..." Zhao Siming's tone was somewhat tentative.
Pei Xingzhi: "I will ask someone to take care of your mother and your girlfriend, don't worry."
Zhao Siming couldn't let go.
"They are not in Yuncheng. How long will it take for your people to find them?"
Pei Xingzhi grabbed the phone beside him, opened WeChat and looked through the chat history between him and Ye Ci, and said in a deep voice: "One day."
"...Ah?" Zhao Siming didn't react.
Pei Xingzhi: "If you can give me the things today, I can find your girlfriend and mother today and have someone protect them."
"Really?" Pei Xingzhi's speed was too fast, and Zhao Siming was still a little unconvinced.
"Of course it's true." Pei Xingzhi put down his phone and held Xiangxiang's soft and tender hand. "You helped me, so I will do my best to help you. Lu Yibai is not a good person. If he finds out that you have rebelled, your mother and girlfriend will definitely fall into his hands."
"In order for you to work with me wholeheartedly, I must of course ensure the safety of your family. Fu Yushu is the best example."
"...Okay!" With Pei Xingzhi's words, Zhao Siming could finally feel relieved.
"Boss Pei, please protect my family. I will give you what you want now!"
After saying that, Zhao Siming hung up the phone.
Then in less than ten minutes, he sent what Pei Xingzhi wanted.
Pei Xingzhi checked the item and made sure there was no problem before replying with a "received".
He held the phone in his hand, waiting fearfully for Pei Xingzhi's second message.
It was not until nine o'clock in the evening that the message was sent to his mobile phone.
——Your mother and girlfriend have been picked up by my people. Please explain everything to them and don’t let them panic too much.
After seeing these words, Zhao Siming’s heart, which had been hanging for the whole day, finally settled down.
He quickly replied: Okay, Mr. Pei, I will explain it to them.
But before explaining, he needed to give Lu Yibai something first.
"Resignation application?"
Lu Yibai looked at the computer, his sharp brows twisted into a knot.
"Zhao Siming actually sent me a resignation letter?!"
"Ah?" Chen Zheng was shocked. "Xiao Zhao wants to resign?"
“Bang!”
Lu Yibai slammed the mouse in his hand and ordered coldly: "Hurry up and call Zhao Siming and ask him what he wants to do!"
Chen Zheng: “…Yes!”
He put the folder in his hand under his armpit, quickly took out his cell phone and called Zhao Siming.
“Beep…beep…beep…”
"Hello, the number you dialed is currently unanswered, please call again later..."
"No one answered!" Chen Zheng looked at Lu Yibai.
Lu Yibai's face was dark, and his voice was terribly cold: "Hit him again! Hit him until he answers!"
"Yes!" Chen Zheng could only fight again.
He got hold of Zhao Siming's number and called it dozens of times, but Zhao Siming never answered.
Even the last time I called, the mechanical female voice prompt changed from "No one answered" to "Power off".
"Mr. Lu..." Chen Zheng held up his phone, looking somewhat helpless, "Xiao Zhao's phone is turned off."
"... Damn it!" Lu Yibai cursed, unable to bear it any longer. "Send someone to find her mother right away! If you find her, invite her to Yuncheng. I want to entertain her personally!"
Chen Zheng: “Yes!”
He placed the documents on Lu Yibai's desk, turned around and ran out of the office!
The hurried footsteps gradually faded away, and Lu Yibai suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
He had clearly threatened Zhao Siming in the afternoon, but Zhao Siming still dared to disobey his orders. Not only did he send him a letter of resignation in a swaggering manner, he also dared to disappear from the game.
Does he not care about the safety of his family?
Or is he confident enough to prevent Lu Yibai from harming his family?
Lu Yibai narrowed his eyes, and inexplicably thought of someone in his mind——
Fu Yushu.
Could it be that Zhao Siming’s disappearance and Fu Yushu’s disappearance were caused by the same person?
An hour later, Chen Zheng hurried into Lu Yibai's office.
"How is it?" Lu Yibai stared at Chen Zheng, with a rare look of panic on his face.
Chen Zheng panted heavily, and slowly shook his head under his anxious gaze: "Gone."
"...What?" Lu Yibai's face turned cold.
Chen Zheng: "Mr. Lu, the person is missing."
"Gone?" Lu Yibai stood up from the chair, the panic in his eyes instantly intensified.
“Bang!”
He raised his hands and slammed the table, his voice suddenly rising: "How could they disappear? Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on their movements at all times?!"
"Mr. Lu, I..." Chen Zheng had a bitter face and stammered, not knowing how to explain.
Lu Yibai stared at him intently, gritting his teeth and cursing, "You useless bastard! You can't even keep two grown men under control, why don't you just throw him out and go to jail for me!"
As soon as the word "jail" came out, Chen Zheng's face turned pale.
"Mr. Lu, I was wrong!" He bowed humbly and immediately admitted his mistake to Lu Yibai.
Lu Yibai: "It's no use admitting your mistakes, why don't you find Zhao Siming for me!"
"I think Zhao Siming should have been taken away by Pei Xingzhi's people!" Chen Zheng was afraid that Lu Yibai would really throw him out to jail, so he quickly told Lu Yibai his guess, trying to prove to Lu Yibai that he was still useful.
But Lu Yibai just glared at him fiercely: "Do I need you to tell me such a simple fact?"
"..." Chen Zheng was suddenly speechless.
Lu Yibai was so angry that he was panting: "I just asked Zhao Siming to take the blame for me, and Zhao Siming turned around and joined Pei Xingzhi. This speed is too fast."
Chen Zheng: "Boss Lu, do you suspect... Zhao Siming has been in touch with Pei Xingzhi for a long time?"
Lu Yibai did not answer but asked: "Chen Zheng, has Zhao Siming behaved in any way in the company during this period of time?"
Chen Zheng thought about it carefully, and then said, "Yes! In the past month, Zhao Siming's work attitude has been particularly negative. He seems listless in everything he does, and gives people the feeling that he is ready to quit at any time."
"..." Lu Yibai took a breath with a headache, "That's right."
Since joining Lu Group, Zhao Siming has always been a very active worker. It was not easy for him to get to where he is today, so he especially cherishes the job opportunity given to him by Lu Yibai. Over the years, no matter how many tasks Lu Yibai assigned him, he always completed them with great enthusiasm and never slacked off.
Even more so, he wanted to resign.
"It turns out that you have been in touch with Pei Xingzhi for a long time. No wonder you dare to send me your resignation letter so confidently."
