Chapter 72 What does her business have to do with me?
Besides the abundant vegetation, there were dozens of small villas like this on the island. Li Qingqing didn't know what these villas were used for. The nearest one was more than ten meters away. She wanted to see clearly if there were other people living inside, but her vision was limited, and the vegetation blocked her view, so she couldn't see clearly.
After a thorough inspection, Li Qingqing realized there was no escape route in the villa. After careful consideration, she realized her only chance of escape was when the auntie came to bring her dinner in the evening.
Thinking of this, she went downstairs and ate the food her aunt had just brought her. Now that she had recovered enough strength, her chances of escaping would be greater.
…
On the other side, Mu Xingyi called Jiang Xueyao.
"Can what I want be done within a week?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? Isn't there still two months left?" Jiang Xueyao's lazy voice came from the other end of the phone, and there seemed to be a man's snoring in the background.
"I've worked for your Jiang family for so many years, so these two months won't make a difference."
"Did something happen to you?" Jiang Xueyao guessed on the other end of the phone.
"Miss Jiang, there's no need to worry about this. Just give me what I deserve." Mu Xingyi didn't want to say anything more to her.
"Why are you so impatient when talking to me now? Is it because of that Miss Li last time?"
"So what? Why should I be patient with a woman like you who treats feelings as a joke?" There was already some anger in Mu Xingyi's voice.
"That's not what you thought..." Jiang Xueyao wanted to explain, but was suddenly interrupted by Mu Xingyi: "I don't care about what happened back then. Miss Jiang, please hurry up and do my business."
The person on the other end of the phone wanted to say something, but Mu Xingyi had already decisively hung up the phone.
Looking at the name "Jiang Xueyao" on the call log, his initial excitement had long since faded, and he even felt a tinge of disgust. She had abandoned him like a dog back then, and now she shamelessly tried to explain herself to him. In his heart, she was already as insignificant as a drop of mosquito blood. He only hoped that she would honor her promise and quickly get his affairs done for the sake of their past relationship.

The first person to discover that Li Qingqing was missing was Wei Qingming.
The day after Li Qingqing's day off, Wei Qingming noticed that she hadn't come to work yet, so he called her to inquire about her situation, but her phone was always turned off. He then called Shen Lu, who said she had gone back to her parents' home the previous night, so he didn't know if Li Qingqing had returned home that night.
After a brief discussion, Shen Lu first went to the school to look for her, and then contacted Chen Suyun through the personal information that Li Qingqing had reserved at the school, but Chen Suyun said that she had not returned home.
After contacting everyone they needed to, the two decided to call the police. Police investigation revealed that Li Qingqing had disappeared yesterday morning after entering an alleyway without surveillance cameras. No new leads had been found, and the police said they would continue their investigation, asking them to return and wait for further information.
Wei Qingming suspected that Li Qingqing's disappearance might be related to Lu Yan, but Shen Lu disagreed. She remembered what Li Qingqing had told her a few days ago, and Shen Lu decided to go to Mu Xingyi to ask if he knew about Li Qingqing's situation.
But after she arrived at Shi'an Hospital, she did not see Mu Xingyi, and the hospital said they were not very clear about his recent schedule. This made Shen Lu even more puzzled. Could it be that Li Qingqing's disappearance was really related to Doctor Mu?
However, the police had already checked Shi'an Hospital and found nothing unusual. Shen Lu had a hunch that this might not be that simple. However, as a university student, she was limited in what she could do. Furthermore, the police were extremely inefficient in following procedures. By the time they finally found Li Qingqing, she would probably be in critical condition.
So she made a bold decision - to find Lu Yan.
Chen Lu didn't have Lu Yan's contact information, so she had to go to Fengze Building to see him in person. But the receptionist was still adamant that no one could go in without an appointment. No matter how much Chen Lu tried to persuade her, she refused to let her in.
The receptionist was also helpless. Mr. Lu had just personally instructed them not to let anyone in casually and no one without an appointment in advance would be seen. Shen Lu had no choice but to wait for him at the door of Fengze Building.
Fortunately, it was almost time to get off work. After waiting at the door for two hours, Shen Lu stared closely at the crowd that was filing out, but even after the crowd dispersed, Shen Lu still did not see Lu Yan.
The receptionist who had just taken over the shift came out and saw that she hadn't left yet. She felt a little sorry for her, so she went up to her and said, "Mr. Lu has been leaving get off work very late lately, so you'd better not wait here. Besides, he always takes the CEO elevator directly to the basement garage after get off work, so you won't be able to wait for him at the building entrance."
So that's how it was. After Shen Lu thanked the receptionist, she immediately rushed to the underground parking lot. Following the receptionist's instructions, she came to the president's special elevator and waited.
After waiting for about two more hours, the elevator door slowly opened and Lu Yan came out of the elevator with Shen Xing.
At first Lu Yan didn't notice Shen Lu until she called him.
"Mr. Lu, please stay."
Lu Yan turned around and found that there was a person standing next to the elevator. He recognized Shen Lu and looked a little surprised: "Miss Shen? What do you want to talk to me about?"
Shen Lu had an expression as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. She knew that Li Qingqing and Lu Yan had a very unpleasant breakup, and she wondered if he would still be willing to help her now that he knew about Li Qingqing's disappearance.
But now the only one who can help is Lu Yan. If Lu Yan can't find her, then Li Qingqing will be in real danger.
Shen Lu mustered up his courage and took a few steps forward: “Mr. Lu, I came here today for Qingqing’s matter.”
A dark look flashed in Lu Yan's eyes. "Oh? What does her matter have to do with me?"
“…”
