Chapter 385 She is missing
It would have been fine if Huo Yishen didn't mention it, but once he did, it sounded even more ironic to Jiang Yao.
It was because he had been very good to her since she was a child, and even jumped into the icy lake to save her when she fell into the water in winter, that she respected, admired and liked him so much.
But after his identity was revealed, Huo Yishen was the one who hurt her the most.
"You have no right or standing to say this in front of me."
Jiang Yao's tone was cold and resolute.
The elevator door opened at this moment.
She walked out in white high heels and said, "No need to send me off."
After saying this, she left without even looking back.
The coldness all around is intimidating.
Logically speaking, Huo Yishen should feel sad and painful, but as long as he saw Jiang Yao's emotions fluctuating because of his own affairs, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
This means that she still cares about herself.
Because you care, you get angry.
This means that you have an opportunity to take advantage of.
…
Jiang Yao returned to the company after signing the contract, but unexpectedly ran into an acquaintance downstairs.
"Yaoyao." Xu Li hurriedly walked towards her. "You're finally here. I couldn't get through to you on the phone, and I couldn't find you either. I was planning to come here to try my luck, but I didn't expect you to come back by such a coincidence."
"Did you call me?" Jiang Yao picked up the phone in surprise and found that it had run out of battery and turned off automatically.
"Sorry, my phone is off. Why are you rushing here? Is there something important?"
Xu Li quickly explained, "Keke, she broke up with me after resigning from your company a few days ago, and then she disappeared!"
"What does missing mean?" Jiang Yao was a little surprised for a moment.
Xu Li smiled bitterly, "I went to her rental house and asked the landlord, but they all said she hasn't been home in the past few days.
If she had decided to go back to her hometown, she would have checked out, but she didn't, so I'm worried that something might have happened to her. I wanted to ask if she had contacted you.
Jiang Yao didn't expect things to turn out like this.
Although Qin Keke betrayed him, she was not an unforgivable evil girl. Moreover, she was young and inexperienced. Where could she go in such a big city without any relatives?
"She hasn't contacted me. Have you called your hometown to ask if she has returned?" Jiang Yao quickly asked calmly.
"I called my family, but they didn't know either. Although we live in the same mountain village, our homes are actually quite far apart. We need to cross a mountain to get there. My elderly family member is old and his legs and feet are not very good, so it is not convenient for him to go over and check."
When Xu Li said this, his brows furrowed, and he was obviously very worried about her whereabouts.
Seeing his anxious look, Jiang Yao asked tentatively, "If you are so worried about her, why did you break up with her?"
Xu Li was startled when he heard this, and said awkwardly, "No, it wasn't me who brought it up. She was the one who suddenly broke up with me, saying she felt we weren't a good match, and she only informed me over the phone."
He couldn't even believe it.
Logically speaking, he should be happy with this result.
Because at the beginning he said Qin Keke was his girlfriend, just to prevent Jiang Yao from worrying too much.
During this period, he thought several times about how to break up tactfully without hurting her.
But every time the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back when he saw Qin Keke looking at him with those passionate eyes.
He didn't want the light in those eyes to fade and turn into tears.
So it kept dragging on.
Unexpectedly, it was Qin Keke who took the initiative to break up in the end.
He felt relieved, but at the same time, he felt inexplicably empty inside.
"From what you said, it seems like you are still reluctant to part with her?" Jiang Yao observed his expression and continued to test him.
In fact, now that she thinks about it carefully, she feels that Qin Keke is not such an ungrateful person.
Did she betray herself just because Xu Li liked her and was instigated by someone?
Could there be other reasons?
"I..." Xu Li hesitated for a moment, "I think it was me who took care of her in the beginning. No matter what, now that she's missing, I have to find her."
Although he didn't say it explicitly, through his expression, actions and various details, Jiang Yao was now certain that he had Qin Keke in his heart.
"Let me help you investigate her whereabouts!" She made a decision quickly.
"Thank you, please." Xu Li did not refuse at this time.
Jiang Yao quickly mobilized his own and Li Beiting's people to make arrangements, and got the results within an hour.
"According to our surveillance footage and her phone records, she must have purchased a ticket to Xishi Village..."
She then conveyed the results of the investigation to Xu Li.
Xu Li immediately said, "That's our hometown. She really went back, but why hasn't she come back after being gone for so long?"
Qin Keke once told her that her biggest dream was to leave the mountains, run towards freedom, and create a world of her own.
But now that she hasn't achieved her goal, is she going to give up so easily?
"Xi Shi Village..." Jiang Yao felt the name sounded familiar and quickly remembered. Wasn't this the small village she had just talked about developing with Huo Yishen?
"Do you want to go back and take a look? I can go with you. Coincidentally, I have a business partnership to investigate in Xishi Village."
Qin Keke's matter, after all, is related to herself.
She couldn't just ignore it.
Now that she had the chance, she decided to go over there.
"Okay, I'll go back and hand over the task at hand. Can we set off tomorrow morning?" Xu Li agreed without any hesitation.
He wouldn't feel at ease until he saw that Qin Keke was safe and sound.
"Well, I'm also going to look for some people from the team."
The two sides parted ways after discussion.
Jiang Yao went to the company and told the employees about what he was going to investigate.
Finally, a man and a woman were arranged to accompany us.
Of course, she also called Li Beiting in advance to explain.
"This small village is too backward. I'm worried about you going there alone." Li Beiting said with a worried tone.
"What do you mean alone? Xu Li is going too, and there are two colleagues with him. I have the strength to protect myself. You don't have to treat me like a fragile doll."
Jiang Yao felt like he was a little frightened.
"But……"
Li Beiting wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Jiang Yao: "Don't say but, I know you've been called back to help with the situation over there! You can't leave just because I'm going on an inspection, so you can't just drop what you're doing and come with me, right?"
Although they are a couple, they don't have to be together all the time.
She couldn't let Li Beiting revolve around her all day and ignore his own affairs.
But what Li Beiting was worried about were those people behind the scenes who wanted to target her.
It's such a long distance and it's a village, if someone tries to do something bad, it would be impossible to defend against it.
But he also understood that Jiang Yao was not someone to be bullied.
The multiplication calculation quickly came to his mind.
"Okay, remember to call me if anything happens." Li Beiting finally compromised.
"Well, don't worry!"
Jiang Yao comforted him a few more words before hanging up the phone.
