Chapter 197 Faking Death and Escape (Part 1) Horsley's eyes suddenly turned red
However, in the blink of an eye, the latest time for Jiang Qin to return from going out in the afternoon has arrived.
But there was no trace of Jiang Qin.
After cooking two dishes in the kitchen, Mother Zhao felt a little panic for no reason.
He washed his hands, dried them quickly, took out his phone and sent a few messages to Jiang Qin. After waiting for several minutes, there was no reply.
Mother Zhao frowned worriedly, came out of the kitchen, walked quickly to the door of the hall, stretched her neck and stood on tiptoe to take a few glances at the entrance of the villa.
Not to mention any human figures, there wasn't even a shadow of a car, nor was there any sound of wheels.
He suddenly became even more worried, thinking that the Second Young Master's wife had been wearing that windbreaker recently and going to the cemetery to visit her grandmother, so he wanted to ask some of Yueming Bay's bodyguards to go to the cemetery to see what was going on.
This time was obviously about twenty minutes later than usual, and Mother Zhao always felt that something was not right.
But before she could say anything, she remembered that she was just a live-in aunt.
The old lady didn't give her any power. Her status was equal to that of the bodyguard. Even if the bodyguard was asked to do so, she probably wouldn't carry out the task. The key point was that she had little contact with these young men during this period.
She was afraid that if she told the young people, they would think she was meddling in their affairs.
Mother Zhao was a little conflicted. She paced back and forth in the hall, watching the minute hand of the clock move, and finally mustered up the courage to go outside.
She walked to a bodyguard and stood next to him, then looked up and spoke to the bodyguard who was nearly half a meter taller than her.
"The Second Young Master's wife usually comes back at this time of the day, but she hasn't come back today. Young man, can you send a few people to the Northern Suburbs Cemetery to check on the situation? In case something happened to the Second Young Master's wife and she wasn't able to be rescued in time..."
The more you talk, the smaller the words become. Working in a wealthy family, Zhao Ma always keeps in mind the principle of not saying unlucky words.
She had indeed never said this before, but at this moment, she felt panicked for some reason. She had a feeling that something had happened, but if she didn't say it out loud, she would feel uneasy and her hands would shake when she was cooking or holding the spatula.
The bodyguard, who had sensed something was wrong, broke out in cold sweat when he heard what Aunt Zhao said.
He quickly responded with a "yeah" and ran over to tell the bodyguards on duty about it.
Normally, everyone is waiting outside and they don't check the time or anything like that.
Therefore, I don’t know the exact time at this moment. I just observe the position of the sun and the changes in light to judge the time.
Originally, they felt that it was a little late, and when they saw that Jiang Qin had not returned yet, they felt a little strange.
But they were both grown men and would not chat all the time, let alone talk about such speculative things, so they kept it to themselves. When they heard these words, they all panicked.
Soon, the six bodyguards were divided into two groups and said they would send out two cars, driving from Yueming Bay to Beijiao Cemetery from two different routes to investigate whether there was an accident on the road. If not, they might have been kidnapped.
As they talked, everyone regretted that they saw a girl coming to pick up Jiang Qin in the afternoon. When they heard Jiang Qin say that the other party was her friend, they let their guard down and did not send someone to follow immediately.
Mother Zhao was an honest person. She did not leave immediately after she finished speaking. She thought that if she left the matter to the bodyguards, she would not have to worry about it. Instead, she stood by and watched how the bodyguards made arrangements.
At this moment, I heard the bodyguards' speculations, mentioning the possibility of kidnapping.
The ominous premonition in my heart suddenly became more intense.
Seeing the two cars leaving, Mother Zhao returned to the hall in a panic. After thinking for a while, she quickly called Sister Wu.
The old lady's side must have much more manpower than Yueming Bay. If there are more people, if something really happens, rescue can be carried out more quickly. This is what Aunt Zhao thought.
But who would have thought that Sister Wu, who always answered the phone immediately, couldn't get through to her today for some reason.
Mother Zhao's face turned pale with anxiety and she hesitated.
Mother Zhao quickly flipped through her address book and called Mother Wang.
When she first came to serve Jiang Qin, she asked Wang Ma about Jiang Qin's food preferences. She thought that after all, Wang Ma was the one who served the Second Young Master and his wife for many years, and she must have a lot of feelings for the Second Young Master's wife.
The call went through immediately, and Mother Zhao was so anxious that she almost wanted to cry.
Just now she looked at the message she sent to Jiang Qin again. Jiang Qin hadn't replied yet. It had been so long since she replied. Something must have happened.
Whenever she sent a message before, the Second Young Master's wife would reply quickly, because she knew that she would not disturb her if it was not an important matter.
"Sister Zhao, is there something you want to talk to me about?" Aunt Wang asked in confusion at Yunhai Huafu.
A few seconds later, Wang Ma's face turned pale. "You, what did you say?!"
"The meeting ends here. Secretary Fu, prepare the minutes, and go to the first floor of the building in five minutes to pick up Director Wang and take him to the reception room on this floor."
In the high-level conference room at Huo’s headquarters, a face-to-face cross-border online meeting had just ended, and Huo Sili said to Fu Rongying who was still recording the meeting.
Upon hearing this, Fu Rongying quickly stopped writing and looked over with a polite yet sweet smile: "Okay, Mr. Huo, I'll get it done right away and go pick up Mr. Wang."
Huo Sili did not respond. The moment he finished speaking, his tall and straight body had already stood up from the main leather boss chair.
He was about to stride out of the meeting room, but at that moment, suddenly, the heavy double doors of the meeting room were pushed open from the outside.
He Xu ran in panting.
But his face was pale.
Huo Sili frowned at first, and then after seeing He Xu's expression, his heart suddenly started beating irregularly for some reason.
This strange feeling made him feel uncomfortable and uneasy.
"What's wrong?"
He Xu ran so fast that his waist was a little bit unable to straighten up. He tried his best to raise his head to look at Huo Sili.
Seeing Huo Sili walking out, the senior executives who were also packing up to go back to their respective departments noticed that Special Assistant He Xu had an obviously wrong expression, and they all became quiet immediately. Those who had stood up sat back down.
He Xu opened and closed his mouth again and again, and spoke in a hoarse voice.
It's quite euphemistic, but this expression makes it hard not to be nervous and anxious——
"Mr. Huo, Mr. Huo, Madam, Madam, something seems to have happened..."
Horsley's dark pupils suddenly shrank and his face turned pale.
He started to run, but then he forced himself to stop.
The faces of several senior executives at the back also suddenly turned bad. Although He Xu's voice was hoarse, the room was very quiet just now. Except for the sound of Fu Rongying writing while recording the meeting, all they heard was what He Xu said.
Suddenly, the world seemed to be silent.
Horsley could hear his heart pounding, and his eyes were completely out of control, suddenly turning red and bloodshot.
"Where, where did she get into trouble? What do you mean by 'seem'? Speak!"
"The bodyguards chased after him. Aunt Zhao contacted Aunt Wang, who called Butler Zhou directly. Butler Zhou didn't dare tell the old lady yet, so he sent someone over first. They're on their way to the Northern Suburbs Cemetery."
He Xu's face turned as pale as paint, and his voice was choked with sobs.
Although things in the world are unpredictable, something suddenly happened to someone I met a few days ago.
Who can bear it?
Especially when that person is none other than you.
It’s still Jiang Qin.
"The car, the car exploded. I wonder if someone tampered with it..."
"I found some of the madam's fabrics."
Horsley's eyes suddenly turned red. "What did you say?"
