The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 77 I will bring them back

Ye Chuchu looked at the unconscious Lin Ran with venom in her eyes. She raised her hand to hit him, but the man sitting next to her grabbed her wrist.

"what are you doing!"

The man noticed the disgust in Ye Chuchu's eyes, frowned impatiently, and released her hand.

"Madam Ye instructed that this woman must not have any injuries."

Ye Chuchu's eyes flashed, she gritted her teeth, and said nothing more, but her gaze toward Lin Ran became increasingly ruthless.

If it weren't for the already agreed-upon plan, she would have strangled this troublesome woman right now.

The van drove out of the city, while on the other side, the people in the office also noticed that Lin Ran, who was never late, had not come to work today.

"Lin Ran hasn't arrived yet?"

Song Nuan glanced at the still empty workstation, frowned, and asked in a cold voice.

"She hasn't come yet, Secretary Song. Did she take leave?"

A hint of joy flashed in the woman's eyes when she was asked the question, but her face showed an innocent and worried expression.

You should know that being late is a big no-no when working at the Xiao Group.

Even if you're lucky, a significant portion of your salary will be deducted.

Not to mention someone as strict as Song Nuan, Lin Ran is really in big trouble this time.

She didn't expect that Song Nuan would just frown after hearing this, then turn around and go back to her office.

The message was delivered to Zhou Qing in the next second.

After all, Lin Ran's identity was special, and Song Nuan had a great liking for this hardworking and ambitious woman, so she naturally wouldn't be as serious as usual.

"What? You didn't come to work?"

"Okay, I understand. I'll record this as a leave of absence for now."

Suppressing her shock, Zhou Qing glanced cautiously at the man processing documents not far away.

Others might not know, but he knew perfectly well that his wife had left the villa early in the morning!

Perhaps his gaze was too blatant, Xiao Jingchen clicked his tongue and placed the document in his hand on the table.

"Mr. Xiao, there's something I need to report."

"It seems that the lady has... disappeared."

Zhou Qing's heart skipped a beat. Before she could think of how to start the conversation, she blurted out the truth.

"Gone?"

What do you mean by "disappeared"?

Xiao Jingchen's eyes darkened, and his voice became cold and hard.

"It was reported because the lady didn't come to work and didn't ask for leave from anyone. I'll go find her now."

Xiao Jingchen narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at the watch on his wrist.

More than an hour has passed since work started, what has that stupid woman been doing?

"Zhou Qing, let's go to the hospital to get checked out first."

Just as Zhou Qing was about to leave, Xiao Jingchen casually made a comment and tapped his fingertips lightly on the table a few times.

Zhou Qing was taken aback, but quickly agreed.

Yes, something must have happened at the hospital, that's why Madam didn't have time to ask for leave and couldn't come to work.

After Zhou Qing left, Xiao Jingchen picked up the documents on the table, but couldn't read a single word. His irritation grew stronger, accompanied by an uncontrollable worry.

He didn't like this feeling of being out of control.

After a while, Xiao Jingchen put the documents aside and took out his phone to make a call.

Even if someone is busy at the hospital, they should still be able to see the phone.

Xiao Jingchen stared at the name on the screen, his thin lips pursed, and he frowned slightly with a hint of impatience.

Just when he couldn't wait any longer, a voice finally came from the phone.

This is the voice, but it's not Lin Ran's.

"The number you dialed is currently switched off. Please try again later..."

Shut down?

Xiao Jingchen hung up the phone, his expression inscrutable.

Something seems off.

Just then, the office door was flung open with a bang, and a graceful and elegant woman barged in, followed by a helpless-looking Zhou Qing.

"Mr. Xiao, you have to save our Chu Chu!"

Wang Mei caught a glimpse of Xiao Jingchen's cold gaze and was startled, but thinking of her plan, she still mustered up the courage to cry, her expression sorrowful.

"What's up with her?"

Xiao Jingchen was already in a bad mood, and now, hearing Wang Mei's sharp and piercing voice, his expression became even colder.

“That little bitch Lin Ran this morning… I mean, Lin Ran invited our Chu Chu out, and she hasn’t come back yet.”

"Something must have happened!"

Wang Mei had originally intended to call him a "little bitch," but when she inadvertently met Xiao Jingchen's cold gaze, she silently swallowed the words she was about to say.

Both of them disappeared.

Xiao Jingchen lowered his head, lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and after a long while, raised his eyes and said in a heavy tone, "Don't worry, I will find them."

Wang Mei opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something more, but Xiao Jingchen waved her hand, signaling her to leave.

Even if Wang Mei had a lot more to say, she didn't get a chance to speak and was asked to leave the office by Zhou Qing.

With the clues deliberately left by Ye Chuchu, Zhou Qing quickly found the traces of their departure.

"Mr. Xiao, look, Madam and Miss Ye disappeared after entering the park. The only scene in the later footage is Miss Ye being carried out."

Xiao Jingchen stared coldly at the picture in front of him. Ye Chuchu seemed to be unconscious and was being carried away by several people into a van without license plates.

Everything seemed to have come to light, but he still felt that something was not quite right.

“Mr. Xiao, this car is heading to the suburbs. I remember there’s an abandoned warehouse there. Madam and Miss Ye should be hidden there.”

After listening to Zhou Qing's report, Xiao Jingchen's unease grew even stronger.

From the discovery of the two missing persons to finding clues, everything went too smoothly.

Who are those people, and why did they kidnap them?

Xiao Jingchen's mind was in turmoil, but he remained calm on the surface, arranging for people to go and provide rescue.

Strangely, the warehouse was very quiet, as if no one was there at all.

"Mr. Xiao, is there any ambush inside?"

Clearly, even Zhou Qing realized something was wrong and led a small team to sneak into the warehouse through the back door.

The scene in the warehouse was completely different from what they had imagined. Apart from Ye Chuchu, who was tied to a chair, there was no other person in sight.

"Mr. Xiao, only Miss Ye is here; Madam... is not here."

Zhou Qing could clearly feel the chill emanating from the man in front of her, and she kept her head down and remained motionless.

Ye Chuchu, who was tied up, was covered in wounds, and her once white dress was now covered in dust, making her look extremely disheveled.

"Keep searching. You must bring Lin Ran back to me."

Xiao Jingchen had deep, dark eyes and a ruthless voice.

He glanced at the unconscious Ye Chuchu, and as if thinking of something, sighed and gently picked her up.
