Beautiful CEO's Super Expert-Chapter 778 - Receiving the News
Su Chen then made a call to Qin Ming, asking him to try locating Ye Mei's cell phone again, as the Special Security Bureau's equipment was far superior to that of an ordinary police station.
But the result was still no news, and Su Chen, somewhat unwilling to accept it, made another call to Shadow, to have the young girl give it a shot, but the outcome was the same!
Although he tried not to contact the people of the Temple, this was, after all, a matter of life and death.
After receiving the message from Shadow, Su Chen was almost certain that Ye Mei might have really met with trouble!
Moreover, the perpetrator must be experienced, completely destroying Ye Mei's cell phone; otherwise, it wouldn't be untraceable.
He immediately made a call to Jiang Lixing in Jianghai, instructing him to intensify the search for Ye Mei's whereabouts!
Although Ye Mei's secretary had already reported the disappearance to the police, the police station would only investigate as per the usual missing person procedure, since the police station wasn't just handling this one case.
However, it was different once Su Chen made the call. After receiving Su Chen's call, Jiang Lixing immediately deployed competent officers and even formed a special investigation team to look into the case!
Su Chen checked the time; it was already lunchtime, so he went downstairs to eat.
After all, Ye Mei had been missing for many days, and a moment more or less wouldn't matter.
It wasn't that he was truly heartless, but Ye Mei's situation left him somewhat restless, and he wanted to walk around outside.
Of course, based on some information he had just obtained, he had his own small speculation, but he still lacked any evidence.
However, if his guess was right, then Ye Mei wouldn't be in any immediate danger to her life!
No matter what, he planned to wait and see if Jiang Lixing had any news.
Perhaps his guess was wrong, and Ye Mei really had encountered some bad people acting upon lust or greed?
Such a scenario was also possible, especially since it had been night when she arrived in Jianghai!
If that were the case, the situation could be quite bad; Ye Mei might have already...
If that turned out to be the case, Su Chen swore to send those bastards to Hell, since he truly valued Ye Mei as a friend!
Su Chen, of course, went to the same restaurant he had been to before for his meal, and as soon as he sat down, Xia Qiuru arrived.
"What's up? You seem to be heavily burdened."
Xia Qiuru sat down next to him and said.
"A friend has been missing for several days, and I'm a bit worried."
Su Chen didn't hide it and told her.
"Ah?! Nothing has happened, right?"
Upon hearing this, a tense expression appeared on Xia Qiuru's face.
"I hope not."
Su Chen shook his head and gave a wry smile.
Too much time had passed; anything was possible now, and it was impossible not to worry!
At that moment, the waitress came over, and seeing that he was still worried, Xia Qiuru took the menu and ordered several dishes.
"Don't worry, good people will always be safe. I believe nothing will happen to your friend."
After ordering, Xia Qiuru stretched out her hand and gently patted Su Chen's waiting large hand on the table.
"I'll take your auspicious words."
Su Chen said with a slight smile, the anxious look on his face easing a bit.
Soon, the dishes they ordered had arrived, and the two began to eat.
After only a few bites, Su Chen put down his chopsticks, pulled out his cigarette pack, took out the cigarette, and lit it.
Knowing he was too troubled to eat, Xia Qiuru did not try to persuade him and continued to eat slowly by herself.
"You know about the wedding of the third young master of the Situ Family, don't you?"
"Of course, I do! But it's not like it has anything to do with small fry like us, we just listen in for the fun of it."
"Who says it's got nothing to do with us? This time I'm going to attend the wedding of the third young master of the Situ Family!"
"Are you kidding me? Even if the Situ Family were sending out invites, they wouldn't reach someone like you. Not to knock you down, but what are you in their eyes?"
"I might not be anything, but my brother-in-law is a different story. He is going to be a partner at Future Genetics."
"Your brother-in-law is willing to take you with him? Doesn't he usually look down on you?"
"Things are different now, my sister is carrying his child. She tells him to bring her over, would he dare not to?"
"No wonder! The old man at your sister's in-law's family is dying for a grandson every day, and now your sister definitely takes precedence!"
It was at this moment that Su Chen heard a buzz of conversation from the table next to him.
Upon hearing this, Su Chen's heart stirred, and he turned to Xia Qiuru:
"Qiuru, that third young master of the Situ Family is getting married?"
"Yeah, didn't you know? They even made an announcement in the papers, now the whole Yandu is going crazy over it!"
Xia Qiuru spoke hesitantly to Su Chen, not knowing why he suddenly took interest in this news.
Upon hearing this, a huge weight seemed to lift from Su Chen's heart!
It seemed that his earlier conjecture was correct after all; Ye Mei's incident really had something to do with the Wu Family!
Su Chen's speculation had basis; first and foremost, it could be confirmed that Ye Mei ran into trouble after she got off the plane in Jianghai.
Moreover, Ye Mei was accompanied by two bodyguards with the skills of special forces operatives. If it were some petty lustful or greedy kidnappers, they would not likely be a match for her two bodyguards.
Of course, that didn't rule out the slightest possibility, but such chances were incredibly slim!
Plus, her phone, not even a trace of a signal could be detected by the Shadow monitoring system, which is not something ordinary people could accomplish!
This indicated the other party's counter-surveillance skills and awareness were extremely high!
Furthermore, the fact that Ye Mei encountered trouble upon her arrival in Jianghai suggested that the other party might have known her flight information well in advance.
All of these clues pointed toward a perpetrator who was no ordinary individual, and the one Su Chen found most likely and most motivated to do such things was the Wu Family!
Now that he had heard about the third young master of the Situ Family's upcoming marriage, he felt even more certain of this!
After all, hadn't the Wu Family always wanted Ye Mei to marry this third young master of the Situ Family, to forge a strong alliance with them?
It was just that Ye Mei had always refused, and it seemed now they had no choice but to force the issue!
Thinking this, Su Chen felt completely at ease.
If that was the case, then Ye Mei was certainly not in any danger to her life, she couldn't even possibly be harmed.
After all, if Ye Mei arrived at the wedding covered in bruises, the Wu Family would have to answer to the Situ Family!
"By the way, when is this wedding of the Situ Family?"
Su Chen hurriedly asked.
"It seems to be this Friday. I didn't pay much attention, just caught wind of it."
Xia Qiuru muttered in response.
"So it's in two days."
Su Chen murmured to himself, a sly smile curling on his lips!
"Su Chen, you're not thinking of causing a scene at the Situ Family's wedding, are you?"
Seeing the expression on Su Chen's face, Qiuru's heart skipped a beat with nervousness as she asked...
