Chapter 198. A Missed Opportunity (Fifth Update)



"I want to see Zhu Qianying." Yan Han withdrew his ignored hand. To be honest, he didn't want to shake hands with this man either.

He couldn't be bothered to follow the pretentious and hypocritical ways.

Cheng Ye glanced at him indifferently, "Then go ahead and see him, what does it have to do with me?"

With that, he walked past Yan Han, intending to return to his office.

Yan Han strode forward and walked alongside him, eventually following Cheng Ye into his office.

Where is Zhu Qianying?

The information Ke Kai gave Yan Han showed that Zhu Qianying and Chen Jing lived in another city with Zizai, but when she had work, she would usually stay in a hotel near the main store.

Cheng Ye walked around to the desk and sat down. "Mr. Yan, didn't the people at the reception tell you? Yingzi is on vacation, so I don't know where she is, and I have no right to ask."

Yan Han did not believe Cheng Ye's words.

Although those documents never showed any relationship between Cheng Ye and Zhu Qianying.

But Yan Han's intuition told him that this Cheng Ye had a close relationship with Zhu Qianying.

Moreover, Yan Han remembered very clearly that on the night he first met Zizai, when he hinted that the uncle might be Mommy's boyfriend, the little guy replied, "I don't know if he is, but he likes Mommy very much!"

In other words, he wasn't sure if she was his boyfriend, but he was 100% certain that Zhu Qianying had ulterior motives.

"Mr. Cheng, although my request is a bit unreasonable, I would like to see her leave record, is that alright?"

Yan Han was quite certain that Cheng Ye would not agree to his request, because Ying Jewelry had just held a new product launch a while ago and was currently extremely busy. As the chief designer, how could Zhu Qianying possibly take a vacation?

Unexpectedly, Cheng Ye turned on the computer and gestured for Yan Han to come over and take a look. "Mr. Yan, this is Shadow's leave application."

Yan Han walked over and took a closer look. Sure enough, it was a leave application sent from Zhu-Ying's email address to Ying Jewelry's HR department email address.

The application was submitted four days ago.

In other words, she started her vacation just a few days after sending Zizai back to him?

Could it be that she is sick? Or has she really encountered some trouble?

It was only at this moment that Yan Han remembered this matter.

He must have been so preoccupied with finding Zhu Qianying's whereabouts that he's been blinded by it all day. How could he have forgotten that someone like Zhu Qianying would never send Zizai back to him for no reason?

There must be some compelling reason why she made that decision.

"Mr. Cheng, is something wrong with Yingzi? Or is she ill?"

At this moment, Yan Han had forgotten his hostility towards Cheng Ye. He only wanted to know everything about Zhu Qianying as soon as possible so that he could find a way to resolve any potential troubles.

Cheng Ye remained indifferent. "Mr. Yan, Yingzi is just my employee. I only know that she is on vacation. I know nothing about her private affairs!"

Yan Han wasn't a very good-tempered person, but he felt somewhat powerless in front of Cheng Ye at this moment.

Firstly, this person has no vested interests with him, so even if he wanted to intimidate him, he wouldn't have the ability to restrain him at this time and place.

Secondly, he is still hoping to find a breakthrough through this person, and relying on violence will definitely not work.

“Mr. Cheng, as far as I know, your relationship with Shadow is definitely not that of an ordinary boss and employee. You were the one who sent my son, Zizai, back to China, and you personally delivered him to the courier company, weren’t you?”

If you can't be aggressive, you can only use facts to pry this person open up.

Cheng Ye smiled and did not deny it. "That's right, I brought Zizai back to China, and I personally delivered him to the courier company. But I just happened to be back in China to handle some business, so it was just a small favor. As his superior, it's something I can do to help."

The more Cheng Ye tried to distance himself from Zhu Qianying, the more Yan Han felt that there was something between them.

But he also knew that if he continued to press the matter here, he wouldn't get anything out of them.

Yan Han straightened up and handed his business card to Cheng Ye.

"Mr. Cheng, I hope you understand that as her husband, I am extremely worried about her safety. If you have any news about her, please let me know immediately!"

Yan Han himself doesn't have any direct influence here, but if you really connect the dots, the indirect influence he can use is naturally much greater than Cheng Ye's.

Yan Han had naturally investigated Cheng Ye's background as well. Objectively speaking, Cheng Ye was a fairly successful businessman, but he had no other background. He was a rich man, but not a powerful one.

Cheng Ye glanced down at the business card he was offered, and finally, slowly reached out and took it.

As soon as Yan Han left Ying Jewelry, he instructed the driver to head to the city where Zhu Qianying lived.

More than an hour later, Yan Han finally found Zhu Qianying's residence.

He stood in front of the house and rang the doorbell for a long time, but there was no response.

Until a kind neighbor came and told him that the owner of the house had gone on a trip a few days earlier.

"Are you and your daughter going together?"

“Yes!” the kind neighbor said again. “She’s a designer. When she’s busy, she doesn’t come home for a long time. When she’s on vacation, she takes her son and mother on trips.”

It seems that Zhu Qianying's absence from home is a common occurrence.

But Yan Han was still worried, so he called the person Ke Kai had contacted earlier and then checked into a nearby hotel.

Without receiving any further information, he could only wait and see.

After a long day of traveling in the sweltering heat, I took a bath, checked the time, and realizing it was daytime back home, I picked up the phone and called home.

Before setting off, he told his parents that he was going to find Zhu Qianying.

To his son, he simply said, "Zizai, Daddy's going to pick Mommy up and take her home!"

The little guy just stared at him silently, but Yan Han could see that there was a hint of red in the corner of the little guy's eyes.

After spending a few days together, Yan Han realized that the little guy's temper was exactly like his mother's, especially his stubbornness.

Before sending the little guy back to China, Zhu Qianying must have said something to him. Therefore, no matter how he and his parents tried to coax the little guy these days, they couldn't get any useful information out of him.

Sometimes, being too smart isn't a good thing.

As Yan Han was reminiscing, he heard Uncle Hai's voice coming from the other end of the line, "Hello, Yan Family Mansion, who are you looking for?"

"Uncle Hai, call him Zizai."

Yan Han wasn't sure if he could get any useful information out of his son, but he wouldn't give up without trying.

"Young Master, your father is on the phone!"

Yan Han heard Uncle Hai's call, and soon, he heard the little guy panting heavily, clearly having run over.
