He Yu was shocked. His mouth was covered by someone’s hand and he couldn’t move at all. It wasn’t until Su Ji pulled down her sunglasses that he recognized who it was. He quieted down and stopped struggling.

Su Ji let go of his mouth, stuffed her hands into her pockets, took a step back, and looked at him with a serious expression.

“You said you wanted to ask me something?”

Su Ji asked, “have you been in contact with Dong Xiyou recently?”

She had called her a few times in the past few days, but she did not answer.

However, Dong Xiyou replied to her via WeChat and explained that she had been really busy recently.

It was Dong Xiyou’s tone, and the emojis she sent were the ones she usually used.

However, Su Ji felt suspicious.

He sent her a voice call invitation, but she hung up.

Dong Xiyou wouldn’t hang up on her voice call.

When He Yu heard Dong Xiyou’s name, his pupils constricted.

Su Ji understood at that moment that his recent absent-mindedness had something to do with Dong Xiyou.

“You also feel that something is wrong?” He Yu pushed his glasses up irritably. His phone was still ringing, so he switched it off immediately. “Previously, we were supposed to meet often to talk about the project, but recently, she’s been sending me messages saying that she had something to do and had to cancel it. I thought she was not feeling well, so I called her…

“Did she pick up?” Su Ji asked.

He Yu shook his head with a solemn expression. “I took leave this morning to go to Lychee TV to look for her. The seniors said that she had taken sick leave a few days ago. It was very sudden. Even their master, who had always been very good-tempered, flew into a rage because of this.”

Su Ji looked at him suspiciously. “The one with the surname Zhou?”

‘Yeah. Apparently it’s because she delayed some important work, I heard that he really lost his temper and asked her team members to tell her to return to work as soon as possible.”

Su Ji narrowed her eyes.

The two of them were quiet for a while. Su Ji took off the earphone cable and called Cao Zhuzhu,

Cao Zhuzhu was scolding the boss of an advertising company she worked part-time for on WeChat. That profiteer had owed her 90,000 yuan in advertising fees for two years. He had not paid her yet.

When she was organizing her WeChat contacts today, she saw him and remembered this. Her temper flared up and she sent him a voice message, asking when he would pay her. Then, the more they talked, the more agitated they became. In the end, they started arguing. The young lady was beautiful and had a good figure, but when she was angry, she was very fierce.

Not only did she make the boss’ blood pressure rise, she also scared her roommates so much that they didn’t dare to breathe.

It was not until Su Ji’s call popped up that she hung up. Her tone changed instantly, and there was no trace of her fierceness. ‘Yes?”

“Are you in the dormitory now?”

Cao Zhuzhu glanced at her three roommates who were shivering in the corner.

“Yes.”

“I’ll tell you a room number. Help me check if Dong Xiyou is in the dorm.”

Cao Zhuzhu didn’t ask why. She stood up from her chair without a word and ruffled her hair. “Hold on. I’ll go now.”

Su Ji pressed her phone to her ear and tapped on the ground.

While waiting, He Yu didn’t say a word.

In just two minutes, a reply came from the other side.

Cao Zhuzhu went to take a look. Dong Xiyou hadn’t been there for a few days.

He Yu had already heard the answer. His hands by his side clenched into fists.

Cao Zhuzhu also asked about another matter. After Dong Xiyou joined Lychee TV, she rented a small room outside. She usually stayed there when she was busy with work and often did not return to the dormitory.

Su Ji asked her to inquire about the specific address.

Cao Zhuzhu hung up and quickly sent her a WeChat message. She even asked if she wanted her to go with her.

Su Ji said no and thanked her.

She glanced at the address, pushed open the door, and was about to leave.

“I’ll go with you!” He Yu called out to her.

“I’ll take another leave.”

Su Ji did not look relaxed. “Hurry up then.”

Dong Xiyou had better be there. Otherwise, she would be missing for almost a week…

Soon, Su Ji and He Yu flagged down a taxi at the entrance of the building. The two of them got into the car from both sides at the same time. Su Ji told the driver the name of the neighborhood, and the driver stepped on the accelerator, speeding away.

Meanwhile, Anna had just finished taking her medicine after lunch when Miyazawa Ta called her again.

Du Meilan was reading a contract at the side. She picked up her coffee cup and glanced at her screen.

“Recently, the duke seems to be calling you quite often?” She smiled and asked

Anna,

Anna grabbed her phone in a panic and took a few steps back. “I’ll go back to my room to answer it!”

With that, she turned around and ran back to her room.

Miyazawa Ta had been calling her at night for the past few days, but now, it was just past noon.

She closed the door and pressed her back against the door. She held her phone with both hands and placed it beside her ear. She heard the sound of a car horn, which meant that he was outside. She felt safe and relaxed until the next second.

“I just got off the plane in A City.”

Anna’s head buzzed, and the blood in her body began to flow backward.

She didn’t make a sound, but he knew that she was listening. “What should we do? There’s something that’s giving me a headache.”

Anna: ‘

“Mom told me to visit you at the Pei family’s residence when I landed…”

“No!” Anna, who had been silent all this while, replied almost reflexively.

Miyazawa Ta, on the other hand, was in a good mood when he heard his tormented sister’s voice. He chuckled softly and said, “don’t worry, I know that you don’t want me to go. Mom asked me to take a photo of you and send it to our father, but if I don’t go, how am I supposed to take the photo?”

Anna shook her head in panic. She absolutely could not let him come to the Pei family. Last time, he held her hand. This time, without her stepmother accompanying him, he might do something else.

Thinking of the phone calls over the past few days, a strong sense of shame welled up in her heart.

She definitely did not want the Pei family to misunderstand her.

Moreover, she could not let Pei Huai know what happened.

At this moment, Miyazawa Ta spoke again.

“Why don’t I send a location to you and you come to me?”
