Chapter 174 Wanwan is in trouble
An hour later, Xu Yousheng arrived at the agreed restaurant, but Cen Wan had not arrived yet.
She entered the private room that had been reserved in advance and waited for a quarter of an hour before sending a message to Cen Wan.
No one replied.
She waited for another ten minutes, but still no one responded.
Xu Yousheng was a little confused. Cen Wan was always on time, and she left earlier than him. She shouldn't have arrived yet. Could something have delayed her?
She called Cen Wan, but no one answered the call.
She waited another ten minutes and called the second one.
Listening to the voice report from the other end, Xu Yousheng felt a little uneasy. No one replied to the message and no one answered the phone. Could something have happened?
She asked Jiang Yuan for the address of Cen Wan's studio, left a message for the waiter, and took a taxi to Mei Ran's studio. On the way, she kept texting and calling Cen Wan, but there was no response.
She held the phone tightly in her fingers, feeling a little flustered. She comforted herself that nothing should happen, what if something delayed her?
The car stopped on the side of the road, and she followed the navigation all the way to the alley. The closed gate was already locked.
She took out the message that Cen Wan had sent her before, read it word by word, locked the door, and prepared to go. Could something have gone wrong on the way?
Xu Yousheng was walking back while still calling Cen Wan when she suddenly heard the faint ringing of her cell phone. Frowning, she carefully followed the sound and found a still-flashing phone at the base of a wall at the corner. The note on the screen read: Shengsheng.
It’s Cen Wan’s cell phone.
Xu Yousheng's heart skipped a beat and he picked up the phone from the ground. There were some petals scattered around it, which had been stepped on and crushed.
She looked up and saw that this was a blind spot for surveillance.
The phone was here, but the person wasn't. A huge sense of unease washed over me.
She took out the address book, her fingers trembling. She wanted to call Jiang Yuan, but after a pause, she entered another number that she knew by heart on the dial pad.
…
Qin Yanxiu was just coming out of Qin's house when he received the call, and they parted on bad terms again.
There was a thin layer of hostility between his eyebrows and the air pressure around him was terribly low. He hung up the phone without even looking at her.
But the person on the other end seemed determined and kept hitting us one after another.
Qin Yanxiu sat in the car, took out a lighter and lit the cigarette between his lips, took a deep breath and exhaled. The lingering smoke blurred his facial features. He suppressed the restlessness in his heart, looked at the flashing screen, and then pressed the answer button.
Before he could say anything, he heard an anxious female voice on the other end, her voice trembling: "Qin Yanxiu, can you contact Mr. Shen? Wanwan might be in trouble."
Qin Yanxiu sat up straight in an instant: "What did you say?"
Xu Yousheng's fingers turned pale as she gripped the phone, her voice tinged with tears: "Today, we, Wanwan and I..."
"Don't be anxious, take your time."
Xu Yousheng took a deep breath, calmed himself down, forced himself to stay calm, and recounted the story in a concise and concise manner.
Qin Yanxiu immediately started the car: "Where are you now? I'll come find you."
Xu Yousheng gave the address.
After hanging up the phone, Qin Yanxiu immediately called Shen Yixiao, and a cold female voice announced that the call could not be connected.
As the car sped along the road, Qin Yanxiu called Chen Yu instead: "Cen Wan is in trouble. Gather some people first, and we'll meet up later. Find a way to contact your boss."
Chen Yu on the other end was just about to get off work when he felt like the world had collapsed after hearing the news.
The president had only been abroad for one day. If anything happened to Miss Cen, he would be dead, so he made arrangements without delay.
Qin Yanxiu stepped on the accelerator hard. From what Xu Yousheng had said, it seemed that something had probably happened.
If something really happened to Cen Wan, Shen Yixiao would go crazy.
He hesitated for two seconds and dialed another number: "Brother Shen..."
Qin Yanxiu picked up Xu Yousheng outside Mei Ran's studio and took her to the police station to check the surveillance footage.
"I looked around and found that the place where Wanwan lost her phone was a blind spot. There were only surveillance cameras at the entrance of the alley near their studio and on the roadside." Xu Yousheng clenched his hands tightly and told as many clues as he could.
Qin Yanxiu looked at her deeply and made a quick decision: "Check the surveillance cameras at the entrance of the alley and all the surrounding roads. What time did she send you the message?"
Xu Yousheng flipped through the news: "Six forty-one."
"I want all the footage from the ten minutes before and after this period."
The staff didn't dare to pause for a moment and quickly checked the surveillance footage. The footage showed Cen Wan emerging from the studio at 6:39, looking down at her phone, and then disappearing. The surveillance footage didn't capture her leaving anywhere, nor was she visible anywhere.
The surveillance footage was slowed down and played over and over again, but there was no sign of her.
"Wait!" Xu Yousheng suddenly said as she looked at the screen. "That little girl has flowers in her hands! There are also rose petals where Wanwan dropped her phone."
The technicians immediately zoomed in and found several suspicious men following the little girl's movements.
"Boss Shen, why are you here too?" The director's eyes went dark when he received the notice. So many big shots gathered here, what a big mess this must have caused.
"Any progress?" Shen Xubai walked in with long legs, looking stern and asked.
"We're still investigating."
Shen Xubai frowned. His fierce aura at the moment was somewhat similar to Shen Yixiao's. "I have ordered the blockade of all the roads and ports out of the city. Every second of delay increases the danger. Determine the destination as soon as possible."
The director broke out in a cold sweat and nodded his head.
The technicians in the police station stared until their eyes were almost blinded, and finally locked onto a van.
The director immediately said: "Track immediately."
Shen Xubai looked at Chen Yu: "Have you contacted Xiaoyi?"
Chen Yu quickly replied: "Just got in touch, Mr. Shen is already on his way back."
Qin Yanxiu: "The company has no projects abroad recently. What is he busy with? I can't reach him on his phone."
Chen Yu pursed his lips and said, "Mr. Shen designed a ring and wanted to propose to Miss Cen. He asked Master Louis to make it himself."
Chen Xubai frowned and thought, "They chose this time when Xiaoyi is not in South City. It seems like they have been planning this for a long time."
…
At the same time, Cen Wan in the trunk of the van regained some consciousness due to the bumpy ride, but before she fully woke up, she was thrown roughly to the ground.
Her bones were aching, and as she regained consciousness, she heard someone talking on the phone.
"All roads out of the city are blocked. We can't go any further. What should we do now?"
I don’t know what was said on the other end, but a few people sat down aside cursing.
A thin ray of light filtered through the burlap. Cen Wan tried hard to suppress the panic in her heart, biting her lips hard to overcome her fear.
She couldn't panic or lose her composure.
She slowly calmed down. It was very quiet around her, and she could faintly hear the sound of waves.
