Chapter 129: Sheep in the Tiger's Mouth
As soon as the bar officially opened, Lu Ze had already passed out from drinking. Su Qingyan helplessly called the bartender, pulled Lu Ze, who was lying on her and crying, away, and had him sent to the room upstairs.
After getting rid of this burden, Su Qingyan called a group of friends and booked a bar to have a party.
The hustle and bustle of the entire city seemed to converge on this bar. On the stage, a band passionately played one rousing song after another, the sound of music washing over us like waves of the ocean. The bartenders busily prepared a variety of drinks, their colorful cocktails gleaming alluringly under the lights.
Cheers, screams and laughter mixed together to form a noisy ocean.
The air is filled with the strong smell of wine and tobacco. Here, people indulge in madness and freedom.
Maybe only by getting drunk can I stop thinking about those heartbreaking things.
"Cigarette, give it to me."
Su Qingyan staggered towards a companion and tried to snatch the cigarette from his hand.
"Didn't Mr. Su quit smoking?" The man was a little surprised, but still handed him the cigarette.
Su Qingyan was holding a cigarette in his mouth, and the other person came over to light it for him. After taking a deep breath, he leaned on the table and raised his head. The smoke stayed in his lungs for a while before slowly overflowing from his mouth and winding up towards the ceiling.
"There's nothing else mixed in your cigarette, right?" Su Qingyan retracted his gaze and asked his companion with a smile.
"Mr. Su, stop joking with me. How dare I?" The other party looked a little frightened.
Su Qingyan didn't say anything else. He raised the cup in his hand to him and drank it all in one gulp.
Su Qingyan no longer remembered what time the party ended. He was carried into the room in a daze and fell asleep.
At around 9 o'clock the next morning, Su Qingyan was awakened by the persistent ringing of the phone. He took out his phone with a dizzy head and saw that it was his assistant's number. He cursed, hung up the phone directly, turned over and went back to sleep.
He felt that he had just closed his eyes when he was startled by a rapid knock on the door and his heart beat faster, and then his cell phone rang again.
Only then did he click the answer button in a daze, and He Zhu's anxious voice came out.
"Mr. Su, are you free now?"
"Huh? What's convenient?" Su Qingyan's mind seemed to be rusty, and he didn't understand what He Zhu said for a moment.
"Are you here? Is it convenient for you to open the door? There is something I want to confirm." He Zhu repeated.
"you say."
Su Qingyan pinched the swollen and painful Taiyangxue, not knowing what He Zhu wanted to do.
"Is Dr. Zhou here with you?" He Zhu's tone was still anxious.
“No.”
Su Qingyan hung up the call directly and closed her eyes again. She had finally gotten some sleep, but the first thing she thought about when she woke up was about him.
He Zhu was stunned at the door of the room, and his hand that was about to knock on the door stopped on the door panel. After a few seconds, he dialed another number.
"Zhou Cheng isn't here with Mr. Su. What on earth are you looking at? How could you possibly lose a living person?!"
The bodyguard on the other end of the phone broke out in a cold sweat.
Su Chonglin recently arranged a team of people to covertly protect Su Qingyan and Zhou Cheng. Normally, they maintained a regular schedule and were inseparable outside of work. However, in recent days, Su Qingyan's movements had become erratic. To prevent any accidents, the bodyguards kept a close watch, even keeping sniper rifles trained on the tigers throughout the night at the zoo.
Zhou Cheng, on the other hand, had become careless because things were no different from usual. The day before, he hadn't gone to the bar with Su Qingyan, but had returned home and hadn't left since. But when it was time to leave for work today, Zhou Cheng still hadn't shown up. The bodyguards started to worry and asked the property management to knock on the door, but no one answered, so they had to force the door open.
As a result, he was shocked by the mess in the room and was at a loss. He held on to a glimmer of hope, hoping that he had gone to find Su Qingyan, but after contacting He Zhu, he had to admit that he had really lost the person.
He Zhu didn't dare to act rashly, nor did he want to alarm Su Chonglin, so he sent people to check the surveillance cameras in and around the community.
While deploying the task, Su Qingyan opened the door.
"What do you want to do with Zhou Cheng?"
Su Qingyan's face was pale, he hunched over slightly, and asked He Zhu with his hand on the door handle.
After he hung up the phone, he did not continue to sleep. His head was rumbling like a train. He gradually came back to his senses at He Zhu's unusual tone. He began to wonder what he wanted to do with Zhou Cheng. He vaguely heard He Zhu talking on the phone in the corridor in an impatient tone, so he struggled to sit up.
But as soon as he stood up, he felt dizzy and the burning sensation in his stomach became more and more severe. He didn't know whether it was because of dizziness or stomachache. As soon as Su Qingyan stood up, he felt like vomiting. After a few minutes, he walked to the door with difficulty.
"Mr. Su..." He Zhu looked embarrassed. There was no conclusion yet. He didn't know whether he should tell Su Qingyan.
"Who are you calling?" Su Qingyan walked into the corridor and leaned against the wall.
"Mr. Su, we can't contact Dr. Zhou now." He Zhu made a quick decision and told Su Qingyan the truth.
"Can't get in touch with him? What are you looking for him for?" Su Qingyan had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter.
But before he could get an answer, He Zhu's phone rang. He quickly pressed the answer button, but Su Qingyan snatched the phone away and turned on the speakerphone.
"He Zhu, there's progress on the surveillance footage. At 1:57 AM, Zhou Cheng was carried out of the complex by two men wearing masks and hats. Because they had disabled most of the surveillance cameras in the elevator and the complex beforehand, they only found a few seconds of footage on a private surveillance camera in a pharmacy."
"Zhou Cheng? Kidnapped?" Su Qingyan's already pale face became even paler.
"Got it. Continue checking the surrounding surveillance." He Zhu hung up the phone and looked at Su Qingyan with a complicated expression.
"Why was Zhou Cheng kidnapped? Who kidnapped him?" Su Qingyan barely managed to steady himself and asked He Zhu through gritted teeth.
"It's not clear at the moment." He Zhu answered truthfully.
"Is there any new situation on Mr. Su's side? Where is he now?" Su Qingyan's thoughts gradually became clear.
"Mr. Su has been contacting me through a single line, so I don't know his situation."
Su Qingyan took out his cell phone and called Su Chonglin, but no one answered.
"You have to dig three feet underground to find him for me."
Only then did Su Qingyan deeply realize that she could not let go and let him go.
"Mr. Su, where are you going?" He Zhu saw Su Qingyan walking away quickly with his fists clenched, and immediately followed him.
"I want to see who is so arrogant as to touch the Su family."
Su Qingyan no longer cared about the dizziness and stomachache, and rushed straight to the police station in a rage.
