Chapter 643

~7 min read 1,316 words

Xu Tian inadvertently saw the caller ID and discovered it was an unknown number.

"Wife, whose call is it? Why doesn't the number look like it's within Huaxia?"

"It should be work-related." Tang Bingyan lowered her head slightly and quickly pressed the hang-up button. "Recently, the company has been negotiating a cooperation with an overseas company."

"Then you handle your work first; I'll go to the kitchen and cook a bowl of noodles."

After Xu Tian finished speaking, he pushed open the villa's main door, changed his shoes, and walked toward the kitchen.

However, he did not notice that Tang Bingyan behind him was gripping her phone, her eyes filled with an unprecedented gloom.

After finishing the meal, Tang Bingyan prepared to go to the company.

"The group will be quite busy for the next week, so I will move back to that apartment in the city center to live."

"Then I'll pick you up after work tonight." After Xu Tian tidied up the bowls and chopsticks, he also got up to see Tang Bingyan off.

"No need, I might work overtime; it's fine to have A Wei send me."

"Alright then, it just so happens that I might go to A City in two days to discuss a project." Although Xu Tian didn't need to worry about the artists now, he still needed to step out personally to discuss cooperation with other investors.

"I'll pick you up when I get back."

After Tang Bingyan left, Xu Tian called A Wei to inquire about Tang Bingyan's recent physical condition.

A Wei said that Tang Bingyan was taking her medicine on time and would finish before nine o'clock even if she worked overtime, which also put his mind at ease.

Although he had handed over most of the work to Qin Yuqing during this time, he still hadn't relaxed regarding Flourishing Stars Media.

Now that Flourishing Stars Media was famous, and Yan Qingxue had successfully returned to the Yan Group, Yan Jinbai and Yan Hongyu would definitely not let it go.

On the surface, they wouldn't dare to do anything, but behind the scenes, it was hard to say.

He had to remain vigilant at all times, guarding against any tricks they might play.

The next day, Xu Tian appeared in the office on time.

"When is Nie Jingjing coming to the company?"

"Tell her she has no vacation now."

Qin Yuqing said with some hesitation: "Xu Ge, Jingjing Jie said she is heartbroken and has no heart for work."

Xu Tian:...

An artist in the rising stage telling him she has no heart for work; why doesn't she just quit the industry then?

"You call her; if she doesn't appear in front of me today, the termination contract will be sent to her house tomorrow."

"Oh, okay..." Qin Yuqing responded and hurriedly ran out to make the call.

Half an hour later, Nie Jingjing appeared in Xu Tian's office with an unwilling expression.

"You want to abandon me just after I won an award for you; Mr. Xu, you are truly heartless." Nie Jingjing whined and acted spoiled in front of Xu Tian, making Xu Tian's eyelids twitch.

"Go find Qin Yuqing; she has already arranged your announcements for the coming week."

"Mr. Xu, haven't you always been the one accompanying me to announcements before?" Nie Jingjing was clearly somewhat unwilling. "Why did you suddenly change people? Tell me, do you only want to accompany that little vixen Murong Xue?"

Xu Tian knocked on the table hard: "Stop watching those melodramatic TV shows."

Nie Jingjing drooped her head: "Oh."

Although she was very dissatisfied with Mr. Xu's perfunctory attitude toward her, Mr. Xu was so handsome when working!

"I'm quite busy during this time; Qin Yuqing will be responsible for your and Murong Xue's daily announcements."

Xu Tian raised his eyes to look at Nie Jingjing, who was hesitating to speak, and asked.

"Is there anything else?"

"Hmm..." Nie Jingjing hesitated for a moment and asked, "Mr. Xu, do you have any plans to break up?"

Xu Tian's eyes dimmed: "What did you say?"

"No... nothing..." Nie Jingjing's heart jumped, and she waved her hands repeatedly. "If there's nothing else, I'll go first, bye!"

Xu Tian didn't pay attention to Nie Jingjing's gibberish. After processing the emails sent by the brand, he took the time to send a WeChat message to Tang Bingyan.

"Wife, have you eaten yet?"

After the WeChat message was sent, there was no movement for a long time.

Usually, Tang Bingyan would reply to his messages in seconds; even if she was in a meeting, it wouldn't exceed five minutes.

But this time, Xu Tian waited for more than ten minutes without receiving a reply.

Because Tang Bingyan had told him she would be very busy recently, Xu Tian didn't pay much attention to it.

He picked up the contract approvals on his desk, and in the blink of an eye, the afternoon passed.

Xu Tian rubbed his brow and picked up his phone to take a look; it was already past work hours, and Tang Bingyan still hadn't replied to his message.

He made a video call to Tang Bingyan, but no one answered.

Xu Tian switched to calling Tang Bingyan's mobile number, but until it automatically hung up, the other party did not respond.

What's going on?

Xu Tian's brows furrowed tightly; his intuition told him something was wrong.

So he immediately called A Wei.

"Hello? Mr. Xu?" A Wei's tone was quite normal. "Is there anything?"

"Where is Bingyan?" Xu Tian asked straight to the point.

"The Young Lady? She is discussing contract details with a client." A Wei paused and asked, "Do you have something urgent to find her for?"

"No." Hearing A Wei's answer, Xu Tian's tense nerves relaxed slightly. It was just an afternoon without a reply to his message; if she was really busy, it was normal not to have time to check her phone.

Perhaps he was really being overly nervous this time.

Two days later.

Tang Bingyan still hadn't replied to his messages, and Xu Tian called her phone, but no one answered. Later, her phone was simply turned off, and he couldn't reach her at all.

Actually, normally speaking, if the group was particularly busy and there was no time to reply to messages, anyone could understand.

But putting this situation on Tang Bingyan was very abnormal.

Because no matter how busy she was before, Tang Bingyan would never fail to reply to his messages, and her phone would never be turned off.

Even during the time when they argued the most fiercely in their previous life, Tang Bingyan would never fail to answer his calls.

So there was only one possibility: something had really happened.

Xu Tian's heart began to beat wildly, and he dialed A Wei's phone again.

This time he didn't give the other party a chance to speak, but asked directly.

"A Wei, tell me the truth, where exactly is Bingyan now?"

An eerie silence answered Xu Tian.

Not until Xu Tian's patience was exhausted and he couldn't help but continue to press did A Wei's exhausted voice sound from the receiver.

"Mr. Xu, the Young Lady is missing."

"Missing?" Xu Tian's brows tightened. "What does missing mean?"

"I have already mobilized all the Tang family's secret guards to search for the Young Lady's whereabouts, but so far, I have gained nothing."

"What did you say?" Xu Tian's pupils suddenly constricted.

"The Young Lady is missing." A Wei's tone was heavy. "Her whereabouts are still unknown."

"How is this possible?" Xu Tian could not accept this answer.

How could Tang Bingyan be missing, and even the Tang family's secret guards couldn't find her?

And if even the Tang family's intelligence network couldn't find her, I'm afraid no one in the entire Huaxia could discover Tang Bingyan's whereabouts.
