Chapter 748

Although young, she commands respect from all directions.

The remote pressure made Qiao Guanqing's head ache as if it were splitting, and he could only squeeze a few words through his teeth, "It has nothing to do with me."

After hanging up, Qiao Guanqing slammed his phone onto the table with a loud *thwack*.

Hua Qian was startled, "Husband, what's wrong?"

"What kind of love potion did that Shu Xia feed Li Yuan? To think he would actually step in! Li Yuan just asked me if Shu Xia's disappearance had anything to do with me, and said if it didn't, he would handle this matter using his own methods. What do you think he meant by that? Is he threatening me, or is he trying to warn me? A brat who hasn't been in charge of the Li family for long, daring to come and show off in front of me!"

Qiao Guanqing was incensed.

Upon hearing this, Hua Qian's expression changed abruptly, "How did he find out the news so quickly?"

She felt a vague sense that if he hadn't sensed some signs, the cautious Li Yuan would not have made this call to Qiao Guanqing.

"It must be Qiao Muting who reached out to him. Does Qiao Muting know what he's doing? It's just an ordinary woman, is it worth making such a huge scene?" Qiao Guanqing gritted his teeth with a dark face.

Hua Qian voiced her concerns, "Should we have them stop?"

"Stop? No stopping! Just wait patiently. They don't have the ability to find her yet, and even if they did, by the time they find her, they won't be able to salvage anything. Qiao Muting needs to learn what the consequences are for not listening to his father," Qiao Guanqing said coldly.

Hua Qian was left speechless.

——

Li Yuan spat out the cigarette in his mouth.

He raised his foot and stepped on it, extinguishing the smoke.

The aura around him turned cold and congealed along with the lingering smoke rings.

Having done too many things that couldn't see the light of day, the darkness on him was so thick it could never dissipate.

He raised his eyes and said to the person beside him, "Investigate Hua Qian."

Li Qianqian had learned the news from Gu Cheng; by now, many people knew that Shu Xia had been kidnapped and was missing, and those familiar with Shu Xia were all using their own resources and various connections to find her.

Li Qianqian was frantic and ran to Li Yuan, crying, "Brother, you must find Shu Xia no matter what! If something happens to Shu Xia, I'm finished! We owe her, we can't just watch her get into trouble! Brother, promise me, don't let anything happen to her, you must find her as soon as possible!"

"If I find out who kidnapped her, I will never let that person off!"

Li Yuan looked at his anxious sister, his tone deep and cold, "Don't worry, I will do everything in my power to find her."

Of course, even if he didn't intervene, Qiao Muting would use every method to find her.

In order to find her, Qiao Muting didn't mind letting people know the news that Shu Xia was his wife, which was enough to show Shu Xia's status in Qiao Muting's heart.

Song Ziqi had been running a fever repeatedly, and by nightfall, it became even more severe.

Three or four days had already passed, and with no signs of improvement, she felt a bit scared.

After measuring her temperature, she called Guo Nan.

She didn't know what Guo Nan was busy with, but he didn't answer the phone.

She then called Qiao Muting, but it remained unanswered.

With no other choice, Song Ziqi could only call Zhang Tezhu.

Zhang Tezhu answered the phone.

"I just measured my temperature and I have a fever again. My condition doesn't feel right. Could you ask Brother Mu Ting to come over and check on me?" Song Ziqi asked.

Zhang Tezhu's voice was exceptionally cold, "Qiao is busy with matters; Miss Song should dial 120 directly."

As soon as he finished speaking, he hung up.

Song Ziqi stared at her phone, completely stunned.

For the past two days, even if Brother Mu Ting didn't come, as long as she called Zhang Tezhu or Guo Nan, they would answer immediately and arrange everything for her.

It seemed she had never encountered such a heartless suggestion to call 120 herself.

Just now on the phone, she seemed to vaguely hear someone say to Zhang Tezhu that there was news about the wife.

News about the wife?

Does this "wife" refer to Shu Xia?
