"Your tea!"
The receptionist at Heavenly Palace smiled sweetly at Li Feng, bending down in a way that revealed an eye-catching cleavage, then elegantly turned around to show off her perfectly straight legs in black silk stockings.
Baili Hai seed to notice Li Feng’s gaze and couldn’t help but say, "Young Master Feng, would you like to arrange sothing? The beauties here are all top notch. For example, this receptionist was the campus belle at school, and I guarantee that no one has touched her."
"Heh, am I short of won?"
Li Feng glanced at Baili Hai. It wasn’t that he didn’t believe Baili Hai’s words. Places like Heavenly Palace had many staff mbers who were not just working for the money but were looking to snag a wealthy husband.
To enter high society, one naturally needed to have good looks and an excellent deanor. Of course, if one’s desires were great, a clean reputation was indispensable.
"Yes, yes, how could Young Master Feng ever be short of won."
Baili Hai said so verbally but he thought differently. A man would never complain about having too few won around, especially since no garden flower could truly compare to a wild one.
Li Feng’s phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the number and answered directly, "Hello."
"Li Feng, co to the hospital quickly. Chen Qinian is not doing well."
It was Zhang Wannian on the other end of the line.
"Okay, I got it."
Li Feng hung up the phone, stood up from the sofa, and looked at Baili Hai, "When they co out, have soone take them ho. Also, do you have a car?"
"Yes, yes."
Although Baili Hai didn’t know what had happened, seeing that Li Feng was even too rushed to wait for his won and was asking to borrow his car indicated urgency. Baili Hai quickly took out his car keys.
"Young Master Feng, rest assured, I will make sure your won are safely sent ho."
Li Feng took the car keys and walked out of Heavenly Palace directly. Baili Hai’s car was also an expensive supercar worth millions. Li Feng didn’t hesitate and just stepped on the gas pedal, speeding off with a harsh drift.
Chen Qinian is not doing well?
With a furrowed brow, Li Feng thought about Chen Qinian’s physical condition, which indeed was poor, but his issues were mostly cardiovascular. As long as there were no severe emotional disturbances, Li Feng was confident that Chen could live for another ten to fifteen days.
It had only been one day. How could he suddenly be this unwell?
Half an hour later, Li Feng parked the car by the roadside, then walked directly into the hospital ergency room.
As soon as Li Feng arrived, the ergency room doors were pushed open, and the doctor shook his head, "Chairman Chen was resuscitated, but still..."
Li Feng saw Chen Qinian being wheeled out but did not find Han Xue in the corridor. He looked at Zhang Wannian, and the two walked to a corner.
"What exactly happened? How could Chen Qinian suddenly be in this condition? And where is Han Xue?"
A bitter expression showed on Zhang Wannian’s face.
"I don’t know."
"You don’t know?"
Zhang Wannian looked at Li Feng. "I didn’t see Han Xue. When I heard noises and rushed in, I found Chen Qinian clutching his chest on the ground. It seed like he was talking to soone on the phone. I tried to redial, but the number was unreachable."
Hearing this, Li Feng’s brow furrowed, "Han Xue wasn’t in the room?"
Zhang Wannian nodded, "Yes, she wasn’t in the room when I went in."
"Did she go out?"
"Impossible. I’ve been in the living room the whole ti. If she had left, I would have known. Besides, this floor is guarded by Security Company personnel. It’s impossible to abduct soone under our watch."
Li Feng believed Zhang Wannian wouldn’t lie to him, and it was even less likely that Zhang Wannian could be bought off.
"Let’s go."
Li Feng and Zhang Wannian drove back to the Century Hotel, where they t Cheng Hu, a bodyguard from the Security Company, in the suite.
"Did you find out how Han Xue left?"
Cheng Hu nodded, "We’ve determined that this presidential suite has a dedicated elevator, designed to connect directly to the underground parking garage. I only found out about this elevator through the hotel staff."
"This elevator, however, can only be activated with a specific password, and only a few people have access."
"Did you check the surveillance in the underground parking garage?"
"We recorded all vehicle entries and exits and are currently comparing them, but there are no clues yet."
"Mr. Li, should we call the police?"
"Although we can’t confirm yet if Mrs. Han has been abducted, this incident is beyond our control."
"We don’t need the police yet."
After saying this, Li Feng looked at Cheng Hu, "Send the records of the vehicle information, and make sure your people keep their mouths shut."
Cheng Hu looked at Li Feng, "Mr. Li, it might be hard to keep this quiet. The noise earlier was noticed by so hotel staff, and our investigation of the surveillance footage might lead people to piece things together..."
"If anyone asks, just say Chairman Chen’s condition suddenly worsened. Don’t ntion Mrs. Han Xue’s situation."
"Understood."
Cheng Hu nodded and left. Li Feng walked to the concealed elevator in the bedroom, which was hidden in a wardrobe with a secret compartnt.
Although Zhang Wannian was a bodyguard, it was not possible for him to provide 24-hour protection, especially when Chen Qinian and Han Xue were in a room together. It was not feasible for Zhang Wannian to be glaring intently at them.
"I’m sorry, it was my negligence."
Zhang Wannian clenched his teeth; an adult had disappeared right under his watch.
"There’s no need to bla yourself. If they didn’t say anything about this private elevator, you wouldn’t have known. However, since soone could use this elevator to abduct Han Xue, they must be familiar with it."
"You also heard that the elevator requires a password, even the hotel manager doesn’t know it."
Li Feng said and Zhang Wannian humd, then looked at Li Feng, "Could it be Chen Muyang?"
"Who else but him."
"This elevator might even be unknown to Chen Qinian, but Chen Muyang would certainly be aware."
Li Feng’s statent was not without basis, as Chen Muyang was a notorious playboy who frequently brought won to the family-owned hotel.
"Sigh, if it really was him, then what about the child Han Xue is carrying?"
Li Feng’s deanor darkened, "This Zero Organization is bigger than we thought. We thought we had dealt with them when we captured that clown-masked man, who represented Zero. Now it seems that this clown was just a part of Zero, not the mastermind behind it."
"Our party was a failure, the clown was captured, but within a day, they struck back and abducted Han Xue. As for that phone call, it must have been from them. Though we do not know the specific content, it was enough to cause a seasoned person like Chen Qinian to have a severe emotional upheaval leading to his death."
"They clearly used Han Xue as a threat, even to the extent of agitating him."
"Her situation, it doesn’t look optimistic."
Li Feng sighed deeply. Han Xue’s pregnancy was only three or four months along, just beginning to stabilize. Wanting her to miscarry would be all too easy.
