Chapter 244 The person I want to see is not him
"Meng Lao does have the ability. Huafang Technology has some equipment that hasn't been officially put into use yet, which is used for pursuit and counter-eavesdropping. He still holds great power in the group and can get it." Hua Mei calmed down for a moment, "But I still think Chen Qing directed and acted it out herself. She secretly asked the Pei family to inquire at the hotel. There's no guarantee that she didn't deliberately let Meng Lao target her. You should wait and see what happens."
Yan Baiqing stopped abruptly, his chest heaving violently, "What good will it do Qing'er if she does this?"
"It's not good for her, but it's good for Jiang Jingyan." Hua Mei was still clear and logical. This was her advantage as a woman. She could quickly catch the little tricks of Chen Qing, who was also a woman. "Meng Lao and you are competing for Li Xiangli. It's already a test of each other. There is a crisis of trust. He took Chen Qing away to lure you into a trap, waiting for you to give in. Chen Qing probably saw this clearly and wants to bring the war between you and Meng Lao. You must not be fooled!"
Yan Baiqing's heart was pounding. He believed that Chen Qing was a smart person, but he didn't believe that she was willing to take such a big risk just for a gamble.
Bet on whether he would take action for her.
"Has Meng Hongwen's manor summoned anyone recently?"
Hua Mei said firmly, "No, there are a lot of troubles in the province. To protect himself, Mr. Meng arranged a way out for many of his colleagues and juniors, asking them to be quiet for a while. He himself has also been quiet, tending flowers and playing with birds, and has not left the house for a few days."
Yan Baiqing felt something was wrong the more he thought about it, so he followed his bodyguard to the monitoring room.
As expected, during that time period, near the women's restroom on the first floor lobby, there was only footage of Chen Qing entering, but not coming out.
The manager sweatdropped, "Maybe there's a system malfunction. Is something important missing?"
The bodyguard glanced at him and said, "Director Yan's girlfriend."
"This...it's been about ten minutes, so the person shouldn't have gone far!" The manager's face was pale and his hands were shaking. Employees coming in and out this morning mentioned that the new chairman brought a woman to the first meeting. Everyone speculated that the Yan family wanted to "bring good luck" to old Chairman Yan, and good things were about to happen.
Why did it have to break down at this time when it couldn't have happened at other times?
Losing the future chairman’s wife is not just dereliction of duty with salary deductions, it’s the end of the world.
The bodyguard tilted his head and listened to the news coming back from the headset, his brows becoming increasingly furrowed.
"Director Yan," he said, lowering his head. "We haven't found any trace of Miss Chen at any of the four exits on the first floor. Seven vehicles have been intercepted on the fourth floor of the basement. They belong to group employees. Do you want to search them?"
Yan Baiqing looked horrified and said, "Investigate."
"Wouldn't that be too much of a fuss?" the bodyguard hesitated. "The explanation given for the basement exit was a temporary malfunction. If the vehicle is searched and word gets out at headquarters, it'll be bad for Miss Chen's reputation in the future—"
The man suddenly raised his eyes, and the cold aura made him shudder. He lowered his head even more, "I understand."
Yan Baiqing knew in his heart that he should not start a war, but the situation was urgent and he had no time to care.
He took a deep breath and returned to the gate.
Several directors had already been escorted away by a bodyguard car to Qingjuman Building, leaving only the black Bentley and the tail car.
The late autumn sun was not very warm, and his eyes were cold.
Hua Mei's worries are justified. If Chen Qing really did it on purpose, he will definitely have to confront Meng Hongwen head-on this time. He has just secured the position of chairman, and it is not time for a complete confrontation yet. Some things have not been sorted out. Until now, he and Meng Hongwen are still on the same side.
Jiang Jingyan held the title of "meritorious official" in the province and was highly regarded by his superiors. Meng Hongwen would have some concerns about becoming his enemy, but Yan Baiqing was different. If he really wanted to crush him to death, he could find a legitimate reason.
Legal and compliant.
It might even help Meng Hongwen's path to promotion.
Yan Baiqing's phone creaked in his grip and he stood there struggling for half an hour.
Hua Mei got the information and called, "It's definitely Mr. Meng's people. Chen Qing is almost at the foot of the mountain."
"Do you know him?"
"I don't know them." She said in an annoyed tone, "Mr. Meng has eighteen secret contacts. He has been wary of me since the beginning of the year and won't let me have any contact."
Hua Mei had previously been very outstanding in the money shop. She was calm and decisive in the face of difficulties. Meng Hongwen appreciated her and personally brought her back home for training. When Yan Baiqing started working for him, she also received the task of "assisting".
Being on guard against her means being on guard against Yan Baiqing.
"Now that we know where Chen Qing is, you can rest assured. Mr. Meng is mainly relying on your attitude. This information was delivered by the manor security. If you chase him, Mr. Meng will notice that there are spies around him and will replace them all. It will be basically impossible for us to grasp his movements. Moreover, if you anger him, you will be in danger."
Yan Baiqing suppressed his rising anger and ordered through gritted teeth, "Find a way to tell Jingyan that Chen Qing is missing."
He said this with extra force, and Hua's eyebrows tightened. He used soothing words, "It's wise for you to do so."
"Go ahead." He smiled wryly, yet seemed calm. Hua Mei waited for a long while until the other party hung up.
…
When Jiang Jingyan saw the exit of Yan's headquarters building blocked, he immediately realized that Chen Qing had an accident.
He didn't let Daliang chase the suspicious vehicle. The people under Meng Hongwen were no ordinary thugs. They were as good as regular soldiers in tracking and counter-tracking. Daliang couldn't avoid them.
The road to the manor was sparsely populated, so Jiang Jingyan took a shortcut, constantly changing routes to conceal his tracks, in order to prevent Meng Hongwen's men from taking risks and crashing into them, without stopping until blood is seen.
Arriving at the manor, Jiang Jingyan saw a commercial jeep driving towards the middle of the mountain.
He stopped, and Lian Zhuo called at the same time.
"Huasheng contacted me and said someone had sent a message saying Miss Chen was missing."
"I know." Jiang Jingyan took out a cigarette, "I'm right here."
Lian Zhuo was confused. "Where?"
"Meng Hongwen is here."
He gasped, "Mr. Meng, take Miss Chen... Are you planning to go directly to get her? The higher-ups mean that you can't contact Mr. Meng directly at this time. Why don't you wait and let Mr. Yan come forward? It's better than you——"
"I can't wait."
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Jingyan leaned back in his chair and stepped on the accelerator.
A muffled roar shook the air, and security rushed out to surround the vehicle. Recognizing him, they bowed, "Do you have an appointment?"
"Open the door."
"Mr. Jiang, please cooperate with us. We will contact Meng for you first..."
Jiang Jingyan lost his patience, his pupils flushed red, and he shouted sternly, "Open the door!"
The security guard knew he couldn't afford to offend the person, so he made a silent gesture and slowly pressed the button of the gate.
Fortunately, there is still a checkpoint above, and it is not so easy to get close to Meng Hongwen’s residence.
Jiang Jingyan had a gloomy look on his face. He turned halfway up the mountain and saw a row of bodyguards waiting in a row from afar.
He drove straight ahead without slowing down.
The bodyguard didn't intend to act as a human wall. He pretended to stop him and then ran out of the small building.
"Mr. Jiang, Mr. Meng has a guest."
Jiang Jingyan stepped out of the car, his aura strong, and rushed in, "I'm looking for guests."
As soon as he entered the living room, Chen Qing was sitting on the sofa with red and swollen eyelids and a look of surprise and shock.
Obviously, he wasn't the person she wanted to see.
