Seeing her hesitation, Suisui glanced at her cell phone. “Qianqian, do you want to call Jiang Yanshen?”
Lin Qingqian came back to her senses and her fingers finally landed. She said indifferently, “No, go back to work.”
“Oh.” Suisui put away her cell phone and went out.
Lin Qingqian lowered her head to look at her cell phone again. After hesitating for a while, she finally found Song Qin’s WeChat.
Lin Xiaoqian Has To Work Hard today: Song Qin, is Jiang Yanshen alright?
After sending the message, she didn’t receive a reply for a long time. She put down her phone and started working, but she subconsciously glanced at her cell phone from time to time.
She was distracted all morning and didn’t finish reading the information she
Song Qin: “Miss Qingqian, I’m sorry! There were too many things to do in the company today. Director Jiang locked himself in the office for the entire day, and Officer Gu and Young Master Lu came over.”
With Gu Xici and Lu Qinshang around, he should be fine, right?
Lin Xiaoqian Has To Work Hard: How did Madam Jiang’s matter get exposed?
With Jiang Yanshen’s status in Lan City, no one would dare to expose such news even if she was photographed.
Song Qin: “This matter was not exposed by the media. It’s not convenient for me to say more.”
Lin Qingqian was stunned. It wasn’t exposed by the media?
Could it be—
Was Madam Jiang crazy? What good would this do her?
When she didn’t reply, Song Qin sent another voice message—
[Miss Qingqian, this matter is a blow to Tianyue Group’s stocks and Director Jiang. Please come and see Director Jiang when you have time.]
Lin Qingqian still didn’t reply after hearing this. She opened the stocks table to check…
Tianyue’s shares had been falling since the opening of the market. This was the first time the shares had fallen so much since Jiang Yanshen took over.
Regarding the matter on the Internet, although Tianyue’s public relations department had already urgently deleted the post, they could only suppress it from becoming a trending topic, and they couldn’t stop the rumors completely.
Jiang Yanshen was such a prideful person. He must be feeling very uncomfortable now.
Lin Qingqian opened Jiang Yanshen’s WeChat and tapped on the touchscreen keyboard with her fair fingers. She typed a line and deleted it. She typed a new sentence and deleted it when she was about to send it.
After repeating this a few times, in the end, she only sent a sentence.
[Are you alright?]
After sending the message, it was like a stone sinking into the sea. There was no response.
The Jiang Family’s scandal had caused an uproar for the entire day. Dusk had fallen outside the window, and the lights had just turned on. The neon lights at night had changed the city into a golden jade dress.
Lin Qingqian sat alone in the office and saw that it was already eight o’clock, but Jiang Yanshen still hadn’t replied to her message.
She turned off the computer and went home.
She didn’t have much of an appetite at night. After mixing a salad and eating half of it, she couldn’t eat anymore. She washed up and returned to her room to lie down.
When she opened Weibo, she saw that many posts were leading the way, but they were deleted after a while. It should be Song Qin, Lu Yuan, and the others working overtime to deal with it.
Although this matter had an impact on Tianyue and Jiang Yanshen, it shouldn’t be too big. The main reason was that they were afraid that Grandma would see it.
How angry would Grandma be if she saw this? She was not in good health to begin with.
Lin Qingqian couldn’t help but sigh. She put down her phone and turned over to lie on the bed. Her mind was in a mess, and she unknowingly felt sleepy.
After sleeping for an unknown period of time, her cell phone suddenly rang. She narrowed her eyes and saw the call reminder “Lu Yuan”. Her mind immediately cleared up.
“Hey…” She sat up and asked in a slightly hoarse voice, “Lu Yuan, what happened?”
If not for the fact that something had happened, Lu Yuan wouldn’t have called her so late-
“Miss Lin, has Director Jiang contacted you?” Lu Yuan’s voice sounded anxious and worried over the phone.
“He didn’t contact me. What’s wrong?” Lin Qingqian asked.
Lu Yuan’s voice was tense. “Director Jiang is missing and I can’t get through to him on the phone. I’ve searched everywhere I can, but I can’t find him.”
“What about Lu Qinshang and Gu Xici?” Lin Qingqian sensed his worry, but she didn’t understand what he was worried about.
Jiang Yanshen was an adult man. Even if he was in a bad mood, there was no need to be so worried if he became uncontactable.
‘Young Master Lu and Officer Gu left after accompanying Director Jiang for a while today. They all said that they didn’t see Director Jiang,” Lu Yuan replied. Lin Qingqian thought for a moment. “What about Doctor Shen?”
Lu Yuan was silent for a long time on the other end of the phone. His voice overflowed with difficulty. “Director Jiang disappeared from Doctor Shen’s place.”
Lin Qingqian immediately understood where his worry came from.
Jiang Yanshen went to look for Shen Zhiwei. Clearly, he couldn’t control his emotions. If he left the mental clinic and injured someone outside, he would probably go on the trending searches immediately.
The entire city would probably find out about his bipolar disorder.
“Don’t be anxious. Get Gu Xici to go to the area near the clinic immediately. He’s a policeman, so finding people should be his forte. I’ll be there in 20 minutes.”
After hanging up, Lin Qingqian got off the bed and hurriedly changed her clothes. She picked up her phone and car keys and went out.
20 minutes later.
Lin Qingqian met Gu Xici and Shen Zhiwei at the mental clinic.
Shen Zhiwei’s face was slightly pale. She bit her lip and said, ‘He lost control of his emotions. I gave him some medicine and wanted him to rest. Then, I went to the washroom. I didn’t expect…”
“Now is not the time to blame yourself. Let’s find Jiang Yanshen first.” Lin
Qingqian comforted her and shifted her gaze to Gu Xici. “What did you find?”
Gu Xici frowned and said, “The nearby businesses are all closed, so we can’t get the footage from the surveillance cameras for the time being. We can only see from the clinic’s surveillance cameras that he has left. As for the road surveillance cameras, I’ve already asked my friends to investigate.”
Lin Qingqian nodded. “Let’s split up and search again. Contact me if there’s anything.”
The few of them agreed.
Gu Xici and Lu Yuan quickly walked out of the clinic.
When Lin Qingqian turned to leave, Shen Zhiwei suddenly called out to her. She turned around and looked at Shen Zhiwei in confusion.
Shen Zhiwei’s eyes flickered as she pursed her lips and said, “Miss Lin, if you find Director Jiang, please don’t say anything. Call me immediately, okay?”
Lin Qingqian blinked, thinking that she might be afraid that Jiang Yanshen’s bipolar disorder would hurt her. She nodded without thinking too much.
“Alright.”
The four of them split up and expanded their search in all four directions of the clinic. They didn’t dare to ignore even the most obscure street and alley.
Time passed bit by bit. The fog was heavy, and the car windows were seemingly covered with a layer of gauze. Lin Qingqian turned on the rain wipers. The mechanical sound echoed on the empty street.
Lin Qingqian suddenly stepped on the brakes as a place appeared in her mind.
Could he have gone there?
It was three in the morning, and there was even dew forming from the fog.
Lin Qingqian drove to Begonia Courtyard. When the guard saw her license plate number, he let her in without any hesitation.
She drove the car to the entrance of Jiang Yanshen’s villa based on her memory. When she got out of the car, she saw that the window was dark.
Could it be that she had guessed wrongly and he did not return?!
Lin Qingqian stood for a while and turned around, wanting to return to the car to look elsewhere.
Suddenly, a tall figure darted out of the flowerbed at the side. A pair of clear and bright eyes looked at her, and his thin lips curled up slightly. His voice was soft—
“Sister…”
