Chapter 1063: Chapter 1063: The Death of Ye Si (3)

What if Ye Qilan left this time and never came back? What would they do then?

Neither Little Pudding nor the two group companies could manage without Ye Qilan.

Age and Fu Yan sat on the couch, both at a loss for ideas.

Ye Qilan must have been threatened by Liu Yuan, forcing him to go alone without letting them follow.

Liu Yuan was a madman, capable of anything. It was unbearable to think of what could happen to Ye Qilan in Liu Yuan’s hands.

Little Pudding continued to sob quietly, utterly heartbroken. With her mother gone and her father leaving too, she felt like an unwanted orphan. Every time the thought crossed her mind, tears would flow uncontrollably. Yet, she dared not cry out loud. For the moment, the spacious office was filled with the sorrowful silence of two distressed men and the pitiful whimpers of a child…

Unbeknownst to them, this scene was being watched by Liu Yuan; Ye Qilan’s office was under surveillance.

Liu Yuan was pleased with Ye Qilan’s compliance: he didn’t call the police and went alone without backup.

It seemed Liu Yuan had been worried for nothing about Ye Qilan pulling some trick.

Age and Fu Yan were unaware that each of their moves was being watched by Liu Yuan. It was Age who first snapped out of it and abruptly stood up: “No, I must go find the boss!”

Ye Qilan was alone and unaided. How could he just sit here, watching the time slip away?

“Age, calm down. We don’t even know where Ye Si went. Let’s check the surveillance footage from Lugang Building first to see which route he took when he left,” Fu Yan suggested, heading to Security.

Little Pudding had cried herself out, her eyes red and swollen, clinging onto Fu Yan’s neck, she asked, “Daddy, do mommy and daddy not want me anymore?”

“How could that be? Sweetheart, don’t think like that. Mommy and daddy had to leave for a bit, but they’ll be back soon,” Fu Yan assured her, his heart aching at the sight of her pitiful little face.

What if something really did happen to Su Hongxing and Ye Qilan? What would they do with the child? Little Pudding’s greatest fear was being an orphan, and the current situation seemed dire…

Fu Yan shook off his thoughts and spotted the car that had taken Ye Qilan away. The license plate was obscured and the car model too common; it was almost impossible to track down in a sea of people.

After several busy hours, Fu Yan and Age came up empty-handed. Little Pudding clung to Fu Yan’s neck, unwilling to let go. The child had always lacked a sense of security and now with Su Hongxing and Ye Qilan suddenly gone, she was only worried Fu Yan would abandon her too.

As time ticked away, with no ideas from Fu Yan and no solution from Age, Fu Yan decided to contact Ye Shiqing to inform him that Ye Qilan was out of reach.

Upon hearing the news, Ye Shiqing spoke gravely, “This happened three hours ago, why are you only telling me now?”

Fu Yan admitted his fault, “Age and I were both so rattled, neither of us had a clue what to do. I only just thought to seek your help.”

Ye Qilan had always been their pillar of strength. It seemed like as long as Ye Qilan was there, any problem could be easily solved. Thus, when he was in trouble, both Fu Yan and Age were at a complete loss on how to proceed with the rescue.

After a moment of contemplation, Ye Shiqing finally said, “I’ll have people start searching for Ye Si right away.”

This time, he had to use his official authority. If Ye Qilan was still in Taicheng, maybe a wide search could locate him. But in the vast crowd, how could they find a man so carefully hidden?
