Chapter 898: Another Unforeseen Event (2)

“Mr. Lu, you’re too kind. I’ll send you off,” Zhao Youlin said politely and followed Lu Xiangtian out the door.

After leaving the coffee shop, Zhao Youlin rejected Lu Xiangtian’s suggestion to send her back to the company by car. She stood at the door of the coffee shop and watched Lu Xiangtian leave. She felt empty in her heart, as if something was missing.

After a long while, Zhao Youlin finally heaved a sigh of relief and said in a low voice, “It’s over.”

That’s right. From the moment she decided to hand over the necklace, the whole thing had already ended.

Zhao Youlin took one last look at the direction where Lu Xiangtian’s car had left. She turned around and prepared to walk back to the company along the road. She calmed herself down while doing so. However, at that moment, something unexpected happened.

The moment her back was prodded by a familiar hard object, Zhao Youlin’s heart skipped a beat. She cursed inwardly, “Damn it, I was too careless!”

At the same time, on the other side of things, after Mu Tingfeng received Xiao Li’s call, he immediately contacted Su Jifeng and asked someone to check Zhao Youlin’s whereabouts.

Unfortunately, when he rushed to the coffee shop, Zhao Youlin and the others were no longer in the shop.

Mu Tingfeng’s face darkened. He grabbed a waiter beside him and asked, “Did you see a girl in her early twenties and a man in his early forties talking here just now? Oh right, there should have been a few burly bodyguards with them.”

The waiter wanted to say that there were hundreds of people coming in and out everyday, so he wouldn’t remember anyone in particular. However, when he heard that there were a few bodyguards with them, he immediately reacted. After all, Lu Xiangtian’s group had stood out. It was impossible for them to pretend that they didn’t know.

“Sir, why are you looking for them? There was indeed a girl in her early twenties and a man in his early forties talking here. They also had a few bodyguards with them. However, they have just left. I don’t know if they are who you were looking for.”

“Left? When did they leave? Where did they go?”

Perhaps Mu Tingfeng’s face was too dangerous and terrified the waiter. The waiter stammered for a long time before he finally managed to say a few words, “They left about… about ten minutes ago. I saw them walking out of the cafe’s door. I don’t know anything else.”

Mu Tingfeng frowned. He was clearly not satisfied with the waiter’s explanation, but he also knew that the waiter would not know anything much. He thanked the waiter and rushed out of the cafe’s door. He made a call and continued to look for Zhao Youlin.

However, what was surprising was that Zhao Youlin seemed to have disappeared from the world. No matter how Mu Tingfeng searched, he could not find any trace of her. In the process of searching, Mu Tingfeng called Zhao Youlin countless times. There was no signal, the line was busy, and in the end, the phone was even turned off. This was a situation that had never happened since they got married.

Mu Tingfeng’s face became more and more unsightly, and his heart began to panic. However, he still had a bit of hope in his heart. He hoped that this was just him being too pessimistic, and that Zhao Youlin would naturally go home at night.

However, reality proved that he was still too naïve. That night, Zhao Youlin didn’t go home at all, and she didn’t come back at all.

After searching for an entire night, Mu Tingfeng, whose eyes were red, finally couldn’t calm down anymore. He punched the steering wheel.

At that moment, the person sitting in the front passenger seat was Su Jifeng, who he had called out since noon and had accompanied him all the way until now. His face was also full of fatigue.

At first, when Su Jifeng received Mu Tingfeng’s call, he thought that this guy was making a big fuss out of nothing. But after he heard that it was Lu Xiangtian who took the person away, he finally realized the seriousness of the matter. He hurried over and followed Mu Tingfeng to look for Mu Tingfeng. He was afraid that Mu Tingfeng would do something irreparable in a moment of anger.

Although he wasn’t particularly fond of this so-called cousin, or more accurately, other than his precious younger sister, none of his relatives were particularly fond of him, but no matter what, Mu Tingfeng was still family. He couldn’t just sit by and do nothing when he knew that Mu Tingfeng was going to jump into the fire pit.

However, although Mu Tingfeng hadn’t done anything out of the ordinary yet, it would happen soon.

When he looked at Mu Tingfeng’s gloomy face with the steering wheel hanging down, Su Jifeng had an indescribable feeling. This was the first time he had seen Mu Tingfeng lose control and be in such a sorry state, and in this world, the only person who could make him like this was his wife.

“Tingfeng, don’t be anxious. Things might not be as serious as we thought.”

Mu Tingfeng didn’t listen to Su Jifeng’s advice. “The Lu family either harbors ill intentions towards Youlin, or they harbor enmity towards her. How can I calm down? It’s good if it’s not as serious as we thought, but what if it’s really that serious, or even more serious than we thought?”

Su Jifeng was at a loss for words. He didn’t know what kind of grudge Zhao Youlin had with the Lu family, so he basically didn’t have the right to say anything at this time, but…

“Alright, it’s useless to keep worrying. The most important thing is to find the person. It’s almost dawn now. Take a nap first. After dawn, I’ll take you to the Lu family to visit Uncle Lu and ask him where he took the person.”

“I can’t sleep. Let’s go there now.” Mu Tingfeng’s face darkened. He started the car and was ready to go to Lu Xiangtian.

Su Jifeng suddenly felt a headache coming. Since when did President Mu, who could remain unperturbed, no matter what happened, become confused because of someone? He almost couldn’t recognize that person.

“Where are you going? It’s early in the morning. If you don’t sleep, someone else would be! Besides, in your current state, it would be fine if Lu Xiangtian didn’t have any evil intentions. If he really did, you would only be a sheep in the tiger’s mouth if you go now. More people will end up in the frying pan.”

Su Jifeng’s scolding finally made Mu Tingfeng calm down a little. He reached out and rubbed his aching temples. He was still anxious, but he knew that if he went to Lu Xiangtian like this, he might only cause more trouble.

“One hour.”

Su Jifeng was stunned. He couldn’t keep up with Mu Tingfeng’s train of thought. “What?”

“I will rest for one hour. After one hour, we will go to the Lu family to find Lu Xiangtian.”

Su Jifeng subconsciously looked at the dark night scene outside the car window. He felt that Mu Tingfeng was indescribably crazy at this moment.

He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he found that Mu Tingfeng had closed his eyes and didn’t want to talk anymore.

Su Jifeng was speechless. Alright, you win. The facts proved that one should never reason with a person who was blinded by emotions, because they were simply unreasonable!
