Chapter 109 The Madam is Missing
Gu Xingnian looked up and saw Fu Beichen's tall figure walking out of the hall. She stared for a few seconds until he disappeared into the light and shadow!
Suddenly, the phone rang. She handed the interview seat back to the Fu family's publicity department and turned to walk to a quiet place.
A steady voice came through the phone: "The big fish is out, about to set the net. We've arranged for someone to meet you!"
"Okay!" She turned and left.
Outside the lobby, the air seemed to freeze. The men Fu Beichen brought were all tall and straight, with sharp eyes.
On the other side, Lu Lie's men were equally formidable, exuding their full power. The two sides remained locked in a stalemate, neither willing to back down.
Lu Lie took a step forward, a provocative smirk on his face, "Fu Beichen, hand over Niannian."
Fu Beichen stood ramrod straight, his gaze cold and stern. "President Lu, you'd better not covet our Fu Group's president's wife. The fact that she's willing to stand up for me today means she's already made her choice."
Lu Lie's face darkened instantly, his voice filled with anger.
"Fu Beichen, do you know what it means for her identity to be exposed? It's a consequence that neither you nor I can bear! You will ruin her forever!"
Fu Beichen sneered, but every word he spoke carried power: "I will protect her with my life. President Lu doesn't need to worry."
Lu Lie's eyes sharpened, and he gestured to rush inside.
"Stop him!" Fu Beichen ordered.
The two groups of people clashed instantly, the sounds of fists and kicks echoing continuously. The scene was chaotic and incredibly tense.
Just then, Lin Qi suddenly rushed up from behind, his voice filled with anxiety, "Mr. Fu! Madam is missing! We've searched everywhere but can't find her!"
Fu Beichen and Lu Lie stopped moving at the same time, both of them stunned.
"What did you say?" Fu Beichen's voice was a little tense.
Lu Lie's expression also changed, and a look of disbelief flashed in his eyes.
The two didn't have time to argue and immediately turned and ran towards the auditorium, where the crowd hadn't dispersed yet and was still densely packed.
The backstage area was a mess, and the staff were all busy, but Gu Xingnian was nowhere to be seen.
"Check the surveillance footage!" Fu Beichen practically shouted.
The surveillance footage was quickly retrieved, and every corner that could be captured was reviewed, but there was no footage of Gu Xingnian leaving. It was as if she had vanished into thin air.
"How could that be!" Lu Lie said in a low voice.
Fu Beichen's face was ashen as he found Sheng Weiwei.
Sheng Weiwei was pacing anxiously, "She was lost here! You're asking me for her back? Are you crazy! Quickly send people to guard the airport, high-speed rail, and train station! If she's been kidnapped, don't let anyone be evacuated from Haicheng!"
Sheng Weiwei stomped her feet in anger.
Lu Lie's eyes were deep, his gaze fixed on a certain point. To be able to take someone away from the Fu family without anyone noticing, could it be that group of people...? His heart was filled with a heavy sense of apprehension.
Impossible, they couldn't have arrived that quickly.
Without thinking twice, he stepped out!
On the other side, Gu Xingnian was sitting in the leather seat of her private jet, looking out the window at the skyscrapers of Haicheng, which were getting smaller and smaller until they finally blurred into a blur.
As she watched the land recede into the distance, she said in her heart, "Goodbye."
She will never come back.
A handsome man dressed in black work clothes walked up to her and handed her a laptop.
On the computer screen, there are two flashing stars.
“Sister Nian, we’ve found traces of large fish in both of these areas,” the man said calmly. “We’ll go back to AnQ House to rest as planned, and then take action once we’ve locked onto the target.”
She nodded and took the computer.
My phone vibrated, and I received a new email. It was from Sheng Weiwei.
Click to open.
"Fu Beichen searched the entire city of Haicheng for you, almost to the point of madness. It was exhilarating."
There is one more sentence below.
"Lu Lie has also left Haicheng, and I don't know where he went."
Gu Xingnian looked at those lines of text without saying a word.
The office of the president of the Fu Group.
Little D's crisis has been averted; it should be said that this has created a miracle in medical history. However, Fu Beichen is frowning, because he has searched all day but still cannot find Gu Xingnian!
He sat behind his large desk, his brow furrowed. He didn't even have a chance to say thank you to her in person.
Secretary Chen knocked on the door and came in, holding a courier envelope in her hand.
"Mr. Fu, your package." The envelope was addressed to "Fu Beichen".
Fu Beichen took it and thoughtfully opened it. Little did he know, inside was evidence of Jiang Kexin's collusion with Lu Lie. Gu Xingnian had mailed it yesterday.
"President Fu!" Lin Qi suddenly shouted and rushed in.
"What's wrong?" Fu Beichen looked up.
“The apartment across the street! The lady’s house! It looks like the lights are still on!” Lin Qi said breathlessly.
Fu Beichen was stunned, and the envelope in his hand fell to the ground. He stood up abruptly, a last glimmer of hope shining in his eyes.
"Get the car ready!" He grabbed his coat and headed outside.
A moment later, Secretary Chen came over and tidied his desk. She saw the envelope on the floor, noticed it had been opened, and assuming the president had already read it, she casually put it in the second drawer of his desk.
Arriving at Gu Xingnian's apartment building, Fu Beichen looked up at the lit balcony, his heart pounding.
He hurried upstairs and arrived at the door.
He knocked several times, "Niannian? Gu Xingnian!"
No one answered.
He turned to his bodyguards behind him and said, "Break the door open."
Upon receiving the order, the bodyguard stepped forward, kicked the door a few times, and then sawed it with his tools. The security door emitted a piercing cutting sound, and soon it was opened.
Fu Beichen went inside. The apartment was quiet. A light was on on the balcony; she had left it on so that it would be visible from his office after nightfall.
He noticed that the living room furniture, including the coffee table and sofa, was covered with white cloth strips.
So, did she leave Haicheng and him on purpose?
He went into the study, which was very clean and tidy. The books on the bookshelves were neatly arranged, and there was nothing else there.
Finally, he entered her master bedroom, which was also very clean. On the wall opposite the bed, there was a blue curtain hanging.
Fu Beichen walked over and forcefully tore it down, revealing a huge oil painting behind the blue curtain.
The black background covers the entire wall. In the painting, a little girl wearing a red dress sits on the ground with tears in her eyes, looking sadly at the white paper airplane in the sky, which is the only light in the darkness.
Beside it, two lines of text were left:
I mended every crack in your life, but I never imagined that I would break even earlier than you. Now that the thread is used up, let the wounds dry!
The date on the document was two months ago. He thought about it carefully and realized that it was the day she was hospitalized. At that time, she... had a miscarriage!
Fu Beichen reached out, his fingertips trembling, and gently touched the tear at the corner of the little girl's eye in the painting. His brows were furrowed, and his heart was aching terribly.
Sadness, as if flowing from the painting, instantly overwhelmed him; he knew this was her farewell to him.
Suddenly, his gaze fell on the small jewelry box on the dressing table.
He walked over and opened it.
The scene inside pierced his eyes...
