The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Mu's Pampered Wife Chapter 1285 - If Only You Were Here 2

Chapter 1285 If Only You Were Here 2

Li Si nodded. “Don’t worry, Master. We’re already on it, but he seems to be in frequent contact with Doris lately. Doris’s subordinates are highly alerted, especially Glenn who’s not an easy opponent. Ah Bao is worried that he might be alerted, so he kept his distance and observed quietly.”

“Mmm, just keep them in check. Tell him to report to me if anything odd goes on.”

Mu Yuchen continued with his breakfast.

“Yes, Master. Master Su will be arriving in City Z soon. I’m sure things will be fine over there. After all, we did give Qi Feng a huge blow with what happened to Gu Lingsha.”

Mu Yuchen frowned and glanced at Li Si who instantly kept quiet.

Mu Yuchen had always been a careful person. He did not look satisfied even though he had just scored a huge victory. However, he often seemed joyous for the Missus’ sake.

Li Si remained silent as Mu Yuchen finished his breakfast.

Soon after that, Mu Yuchen headed to the company, but he paid Zhou Zimo a visit beforehand.

Zhou Zimo had nearly recovered. He was discussing some seemingly serious matter with Secretary Xu Yayan but he ordered the latter to leave when he saw Mu Yuchen arrive.

Mu Yuchen grabbed two gla.s.ses of water and handed one to him. He took a sip, then Zhou ZImo asked, “Has Su Chen gone back?”

“On a flight last night. He should be home by now.”

Zhou Zimo nodded. “Great, that’s better than being stuck here.”

“What plans do you have in mind? The arrangements are done. Uncle Zhou is worried sick. It’s about time now since we’ve gathered the evidence. It’s not difficult to bail you out early.” Mu Yuchen looked at Zhou Zimo who was lazing around on the sofa.

“I’m not in a hurry as long as things are doing well on my parents’ end. Look at me, I finally have several days of peaceful bliss. I think I’ve gained some weight too.” Zhou Zimo laughed. “Just do it when you think the time is right. I’m fine with anything.”

“Gu Lingsha’s been released. Doris’s next step should be thinking about how to deal with Gu Qiwu. I doubt they have the time to meddle with things over here. I’ll be leaving New York tomorrow, but Ah Bo will stay. Hopefully, they let their guard down and we can get some evidence.” Mu Yuchen turned towards Zhou Zimo. “Will you be alright?”

“Don’t worry. No problem. Go and do your stuff.”

“I’ve finished the arrangements, but you should be careful in who you trust in the future. Don’t let the others know too much about top-secret matters, or this might happen again. Doris might just be using this to distract us, but we still have to deal with this personally.” As Mu Yuchen took a deep breath, he sounded a little helpless.

“Don’t worry. I’ll make sure to pay it back! Doris thinks she’s really brilliant, but she just exposed herself! She was probably worried after getting screwed over by Gu Qiwu. She thought he couldn’t deal with her anymore if you weren’t there! Luckily, you reacted quickly and trapped Gu Lingsha in the police station. Who knows what could have happened if you didn’t do that?”

“Get Ah Bo to help you when things settle down. I’ll head back right away after I’m done. We’ll be waiting for you to come back.”

“Alright, by the way, Qi Lei—”

Mu Yuchen’s phone started ringing before Zhou Zimo could finish his sentence. He took out his phone and pressed on the answer b.u.t.ton.

“Xiaye?”

His voice reached the other end quickly.

…

Night had just fallen in City Z at the moment.

Xi Xiaye seemed worried as she gave Mu Yuchen a call. She did not expect the call to go through or that her man would answer so quickly.

She quickly complained, “Where did you go? I called you so many times and couldn’t reach you at all!”

“I went out for a little and couldn’t bring my phone with me, so I left it with Zimo. I planned to call you back later. What’s the matter? You don’t sound alright.” Mu Yuchen sensed her worried tone.

Xi Xiaye took a deep breath. “Mr. Mu, there’s something wrong over here. I’m worried.”

“What’s the matter?” Mu Yuchen took a sip of water as he asked.

Frowning, she did not sound as relaxed as he was. “Qi Lei has gone missing for nearly a whole day now. We promised to meet at Fuhua to discuss something today. He also had an appointment with Vice President Liu as well, but he just didn’t show up in either place. I told VP Liu to investigate it. Qi Lei should’ve been back in City Z by yesterday, but the flight information revealed that Qi Lei and Yang Sheng’s names weren’t registered. CEO Li confirmed with us that Qi Lei left City B yesterday. He was the one who sent him off. We have contacted everyone possible, but we can’t find Qi Lei at all. I’m worried that something has happened to him.”

“You know that Qi Lei hasn’t been doing too well lately. I’m worried that…” Xi Xiaye finished her report to Mu Yuchen.

Mu Yuchen frowned after he listened to her.

Qi Lei was missing?

He was deep in thought for a moment. Then, he put the gla.s.s of water down and asked, “Have you reported this to the police?”

“Not yet. I’m worried that something’s not right, so I wanted to tell you first. I can’t reach Su Chen as well. What should I do now? I’m feeling uneasy.”
