Assistant Chen shrank his neck, his voice trembling, "And then Miss Xia just disappeared without a trace..."
The next second, he could clearly feel the air temperature around him plumt drastically.
Ou Jue seed to be cloaked in a suffocating shadow, so terrifying that it instinctively made people breathe lighter.
His tone was icy, "What do you an, disappeared without a trace?!"
"Young... young master, I just received the news as well. Normally, Miss Xia should have left the campus by now. By this ti, she would normally be ho already. However, the people watching the school gate didn’t see her co out. When we asked around, we found out that she hadn’t attended her classes this afternoon..."
"The company keeps all of you on payroll just to freeload?! She missed an entire afternoon of classes, and you only found out after school?!" Ou Jue threw the pen in his hand, his face filled with uncontrollable rage.
Hiss—so terrifying.
Assistant Chen was so frightened he didn’t dare to let out a single breath.
Ou Jue grabbed his phone from the side and dialed that all-too-familiar number.
Yet unexpectedly—
"Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently switched off... Please try again later..."
His gaze darkened as Ou Jue no longer cared about his work. He got up imdiately, lowering his head to search for a phone number while striding out with his long legs.
Lan Ruge received a call from Ou Jue, only to hear a voice colder than ice, "Where is Xia Xiyan?"
For a mont, Ruge was so furious she almost slamd her phone, "How dare you ask where Xiyan is? I should be asking you what the hell you’ve been doing these past two days! Huh? You do rember she’s staying at my place now, don’t you? Then why haven’t you shown any concern for her? Didn’t even co to pick her up! You’re just leaving her hanging like that, what on earth is your deal—"
"I asked you, where is she?!"
"How would I know where she is? Now that she’s completely gone, you’re finally anxious? What were you doing before?!"
His thin lips pressed tightly together, the grip on his phone intensifying, his knuckles prominent, as though suppressing emotions threatening to explode.
An Ran paced nervously in circles.
Xiyan was always soone who cared deeply about others’ feelings. For as long as An Ran had known her, she’d never disappeared like this before.
This ti, she must have truly been hurt.
An Ran tugged on Ruge’s sleeve, "Ruge, stop arguing with Ou Jue right now. The important thing is to find her..."
Ou Jue had already walked out of the company, his footsteps echoing distinctly in the underground parking lot, each step filled with urgency.
"You’re her closest friends, and you really don’t know where she is?"
"Hell if we know! If we did, we wouldn’t have answered your call at all. Let you stew in your anxiety. After all, n are all pigs! Always acting so aloof—well, now you can regret it on your own!"
Before she could finish, Ou Jue abruptly hung up the call.
He dialed Xiyan’s number again, only to find it still turned off.
Sitting in the driver’s seat, Ou Jue realized his hands gripping the steering wheel were trembling uncontrollably.
Fear.
He was afraid...
He had always been the favored child of heaven, effortlessly in control of any situation.
But now—
She was out of reach.
He had no idea where that fool had gone.
This feeling of having no direction, for the first ti, left him at a complete loss, not knowing where to start or what to do.
Where?
Where could she be?
Ou Jue directly shifted his car into gear and turned the wheel.
A roaring sound followed as the sports car instantly accelerated.
In a flash, it shot out of the underground parking lot.
