Chapter 227: I'm Looking for Second Master Pei

Song Ci looked at the phone that had been hung up, and without hesitation, she called back, but this time Yuan Fengye did not answer.

It is better to rely on oneself than on others; Yuan Fengye was unreliable to begin with, and no matter how much she asked, she wouldn't get any answers, not to mention that Yuan Fengye disliked her so much.

Song Ci turned and went downstairs, changed her shoes, and drove out.

She first went to Zhu Yuan's rental apartment; she knocked on the door a few times, worried that since she had a boyfriend, she might see something she shouldn't if she just opened the door and walked in.

But after waiting for a while, no one opened the door, and there was no movement from inside.

Forget it, Song Ci took out her key and opened the door to go in.

However, there were no shoes changed out in the entryway; after turning on the lights, Song Ci walked into the room, "Zhu Yuan, Fatty Yuan!"

She searched every place, but she just couldn't see a trace of Zhu Yuan.

The more Song Ci thought about it, the more wrong it felt; when she went downstairs, she dialed Zhu Yuan's number again, but it was still powered off.

She drove to the Hot Spring Villa; she remembered Zhu Yuan telling her that she and Sheng Yu lived there.

But just as she arrived near the Hot Spring Villa, the car was stopped by a Bodyguard before it could even get onto the Pan Shan Highway.

"Who goes there?"

Song Ci rolled down the car window, revealing an exquisite and cold face, "Yuan Fengye's wife, I'm here to find Zhu Yuan."

"It's so late, Miss Zhu has already rested; if you have any business, talk about it tomorrow."

"She told you that?" Song Ci said coldly.

The Bodyguard said expressionlessly: "Please, Mrs. Yuan, do not disturb Chairman Sheng and Miss Zhu's rest; we will not let you pass."

Just as Song Ci prepared to step on the gas to force her way into the Hot Spring Villa, a harsh roaring sound suddenly came.

A red sports car stopped horizontally in front of her car.

Through the windshield, she saw a charming and seductive woman in the driver's seat of Yuan Fengye's car.

Yuan Fengye locked eyes with her, got out of the car in a rage, pulled open her car door, unbuckled her seatbelt, dragged her out of the car, and scolded sternly: "Song Ci, have you lost your mind!"

"What does it have to do with you? You go on with your debauchery, I'm looking for my girl friend." Song Ci shook off his hand forcefully.

Although the temperature in Kyoto City had risen quite a bit over the past two days, it was still a bit chilly in the early morning; Yuan Fengye sobered up more than half after being blown by the wind, and seeing Song Ci about to sit back in the driver's seat, he grabbed her waist from behind and lifted her up.

Holding her with one hand, he used the other to pull open the back door of the car, shoved her inside, then sat in himself, restrained her with both hands, and shouted to the woman in the red sports car outside: "What are you dazed for? Come over and drive!"

The woman swayed her waist and came over slowly, but the moment Yuan Fengye swept a glance at her, she put away her frivolous expression, quickened her pace, and sat in the driver's seat.

"Yuan Fengye, where exactly did Zhu Yuan go?" Song Ci couldn't struggle free, and she didn't want to waste her energy anymore.

Yuan Fengye said with a cold face, "I just called Yu Ge; Zhu Yuan is sleeping."

"Who are you lying to!"

Yuan Fengye pinched her chin, "Do you think you're asleep? How dare you talk to me like that?"

He took out his phone and called Sheng Yu right in front of her.

The call connected, and Sheng Yu's cold voice came through, "What is it?"

"Yu Ge, Song Ci doesn't believe my sister-in-law is with you."

"Sheng Yu, where exactly is Zhu Yuan!" Hearing Sheng Yu's voice, Song Ci struggled out of Yuan Fengye's shackles and snatched the phone to her ear.

"Where else would she be besides by my side?"

"But..." Before Song Ci could finish her sentence, the call was hung up.

Yuan Fengye took back the phone while she was stunned, "You heard it, right? Yu Ge loves Zhu Yuan so much, what are you worried about?"

That Sheng Yu loved Zhu Yuan, Song Ci had no doubts about that.

But the fact that neither she nor Zhu Jingyao could contact Zhu Yuan was very suspicious.

However, she pretended to have accepted this fact in front of Yuan Fengye and did not question him any further.

The car stopped in front of the villa; Song Ci pushed Yuan Fengye away, and the disgust and loathing in her eyes made Yuan Fengye's expression turn cold, "What do you mean?"

"I find you dirty." After Song Ci dropped this line, she turned and walked upstairs.

Yuan Fengye gritted his teeth and chased after her; he had drunk quite a bit tonight, and although he wasn't unsteady on his feet, it was still a bit difficult to chase someone, so much so that just as he reached the door of Song Ci's room, he was almost hit in the nose by the door she suddenly slammed shut.

He cursed: "Don't let me catch you!"

Found him dirty?

Hah.

After locking the door from the inside, Song Ci took out her phone and called Ji Xiang.

Ji Xiang was fast asleep and answered the phone groggily: "Hello?"

"Little Xiangxiang."

Hearing this voice, Ji Xiang rubbed her eyes, "Mm, what's wrong, Sister Ci?"

"I want to ask you, did Zhu Yuan go to the theater troupe today?"

Asking about Xiao Fengzheng again.

Second Master Pei had asked her today, and now Song Ci was asking her too.

But she was also puzzled; when she called Xiao Fengzheng today, it was actually powered off, but thinking that Xiao Fengzheng had Sheng Yu protecting her, she didn't think much of it.

But now that Song Ci was asking her again, she realized that things were not simple.

She quickly sat up, "No, and Xiao Fengzheng asked for leave. I called her today, and her phone was off."

Song Ci felt a chill down her spine.

Not only Zhu Jingyao and her, but now Ji Xiang couldn't contact Zhu Yuan either.

After hanging up the phone, Song Ci deliberately ignored the sounds of a woman's pleasure moaning from the master bedroom next door.

She had an intuition that Zhu Yuan was inside the Hot Spring Villa, but with her abilities, she couldn't break in at all; she had heard people say that it was the most heavily guarded place in Kyoto City.

Just as the sky was beginning to brighten, Song Ci walked out of the room, glanced at the woman's rose-red bra and the man's clothes dropped at the entrance of the master bedroom, and retracted her gaze expressionlessly.

It was as if this matter had not touched her at all.

She went downstairs and drove toward the outskirts of the city.

Finally, the car stopped in front of an antique-style building.

She was stopped by the Bodyguard at the door, "The bank is not open for business yet."

"I am not here to borrow money; I am looking for Second Master Pei."

The Bodyguard looked at Song Ci's appearance and her determination to see Second Master Pei, thinking to himself that here was another person unafraid of death coming to confess to Second Master Pei.

They had seen this kind of thing many times; they had to deal with such matters several times a week.

"Second Master is resting."

Song Ci did not force her way in; after all, she was quite uncertain in her heart and not sure if Pei Ling would help her, "Fine, I'll wait until he wakes up."

The Bodyguard was surprised; this one was actually quite polite.

Pei Ling had not slept again after waking up at three o'clock; he had not taken his Medicine during this period and was always woken up by stomach pain in the middle of the night.

He would fall asleep listening to the Qingxin Mantra at one o'clock, and by three o'clock, that was two hours of sleep time.

He leaned against the headboard and closed his eyes, Zhu Yuan's face flashing through his mind once again; he opened his eyes and gave a self-deprecating laugh, "Forget it, I'll live a few more days."

Pulling open the nightstand drawer, he took out a bottle of Medicine, poured a few pills into his mouth, and swallowed them with the water on the nightstand that had already gone cold.

The sky had completely brightened.

Pei Ling got up to put on his clothes, and Pei Li hurried in from outside, "Second Master, someone is looking for you outside."

"Who?" Pei Ling put on his black coat.

"They say it is Miss Zhu's closest female friend."

"What is that, a turtle raised by Zhu Yuan?"

Pei Li paused, "It means as close as sisters, the best friend in the whole world."
