Fu Chen walked Xu Zhiru to the door of the room and gently kissed her on the forehead.
"Have a good rest, good night."
"Good night, Achen." Xu Zhiru's voice was soft, with a barely perceptible tremor.
Fu Chen didn't notice anything unusual about Xu Zhiru. He turned around, went downstairs, and returned to his study to handle official business.
Time passed minute by minute, and the night grew darker and darker.
After Fu Chen finished his work, he looked at the time and it was almost midnight.
He stood up and walked out of the study, preparing to go back to the bedroom to rest.
However, when he walked to the bedroom door, he found that the room was empty and the bed was tidy, with no signs of anyone having slept there.
Fu Chen was shocked and hurried to the bathroom and cloakroom, but he didn't see Xu Zhiru.
He picked up the phone and dialed Xu Zhiru's number, but heard a cold, mechanical female voice: The number you dialed cannot be connected at the moment.
Fu Chen's heart sank to the bottom in an instant.
He hurried downstairs, called the villa's servant, and asked anxiously, "Have you seen Zhiru? Where did she go?"
The servants looked at each other and said they had no idea.
"Miss Xu went back to her room after dinner and hasn't come out since." The housekeeper answered tremblingly.
Fu Chen's heart became more and more flustered.
Just then, Xu Zhao rushed in, with anxiety and panic on his face.
"Brother-in-law! Something's wrong! Something's wrong!" Xu Zhao said breathlessly, with obvious panic in his tone.
Fu Chen grabbed Xu Zhao's arm and asked anxiously, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Xu Zhao took out his cell phone and handed it to Fu Chen, his voice trembling, "I... I just received an anonymous text message saying... saying that my sister was kidnapped!"
Fu Chen snatched the phone away, and saw a text message displayed on the screen:
If you want your lover to be safe, prepare the ransom and don’t call the police, otherwise, you will bear the consequences!
At the end of the text message, there was an unfamiliar bank account number.
Fu Chen's brain buzzed and went blank in an instant.
Kidnapping!
Zhiru was kidnapped!
Fu Chen was filled with rage, and he asked through gritted teeth, "Who is it? Who kidnapped Zhiru?"
Xu Zhao pointed at the text message in a panic, his voice trembling, "The text message... the text message said... it was Ning Nanxue!"
Ning Nanxue!
It’s Ning Nanxue again!
Fu Chen's anger could no longer be suppressed and broke out completely.
His eyes were bloodshot, veins on his forehead were bulging, and he exuded a suffocating murderous aura.
This vicious woman actually dared to kidnap Zhiru!
It would have been fine if she just tracked down an innocent doctor, but she actually targeted Xu Zhiru. She is simply insane!
Fu Chen roared, picked up his phone, and tremblingly dialed Ning Nanxue's number.
The phone rang several times before it was connected. Ning Nanxue's cold voice came from the receiver, "Mr. Fu, it's so late, what's going on?"
Fu Chen roared into the phone in rage, "Ning Nanxue! You vicious woman! How dare you kidnap Zhiru! What on earth do you want?"
On the other end of the phone, Ning Nanxue's voice was obviously stunned for a moment, with a hint of confusion and doubt, "Kidnapping? Mr. Fu, what are you talking about? I don't understand what you are talking about at all."
"Stop pretending!" Fu Chen roared, his tone as cold as ice. "Xu Zhao has already received the text message, and you still want to deny it? Ning Nanxue, I really misjudged you! You are so despicable and shameless!"
"Fu Chen, are you crazy?" Ning Nanxue's voice also turned cold, with a hint of anger, "I don't even know where Xu Zhiru is, let alone kidnap her. Don't slander me!"
"You're slandering me?" Fu Chen laughed in anger, his tone filled with sarcasm and disdain. "Ning Nanxue, do you think I'll believe your lies? Woman, what wouldn't you do to achieve your goals? The kidnapping of Zhiru must have been ordered by you!"
"Fu Chen! I can't communicate with you, an idiot!" Ning Nanxue's voice also became sharp, and she was obviously also angry at Fu Chen's groundless accusations. "I say it again, I didn't kidnap Xu Zhiru! It was you who was blind and deceived by that woman Xu Zhiru. Now that something happened, you throw dirty water on me. You've had enough!"
"Shut up! I don't want to hear your excuses!" Fu Chen roared and hung up the phone without giving Ning Nanxue any chance to explain.
His chest heaved violently, and his anger almost burned him out.
Ning Nanxue, this vicious woman, actually cried thief and complained first!
Does she think she can clear her name this way?
Fu Chen immediately called Secretary Chen and gave an icy order, "Immediately mobilize all security forces and search the entire city for Xu Zhiru's whereabouts! Also, keep a close eye on Ning Nanxue. I want to know where she is and what she's doing. We must find evidence linking her to the kidnapping!"
"Yes, Mr. Fu, I'll do it right away." Secretary Chen's voice on the other end of the phone sounded a little hesitant, but he still agreed.
Fu Chen hung up the phone, his face terribly gloomy.
He will never let Ning Nanxue go!
On the other side, inside the cafe.
Ning Nanxue held the hung up phone, looking confused, completely unaware of what had happened.
"Kidnapping? Kidnapping Xu Zhiru? Is Fu Chen out of his mind?" Ning Nanxue looked puzzled and muttered to herself in the air.
Manager Song also looked at Ning Nanxue with a puzzled look on his face. "What's wrong? Why did Fu Chen call? What's wrong with him again?"
