Chapter 288: Does Mrs. Fu Want to Go Wild?
"Mrs. Fu, hold on!"
Ye Li had just stepped onto the staircase when she was stopped by the hurriedly arriving butler.
"I’m looking for Qin Chu!"
Ye Li said coldly, "Tell her to come down, and I will stop right here."
"Mrs. Fu, the master is discussing something with the Second Miss. Once they are done, she will naturally come downstairs. Moreover, this is the Qin family’s house. Mrs. Fu, surely you aren’t worried something might happen to the Second Miss in her own home?"
"It’s precisely because this is the Qin family’s house that I’m even more worried! ... Move away!"
The butler’s expression stiffened, and Ye Li had already charged up forcefully.
"Young Master!"
With an alarmed cry from the butler, in the center of the banquet hall, Qin Yuchen turned around just in time to see Ye Li, who had already rushed to the second floor.
A flicker of panic and gloom passed through his eyes as Qin Yuchen turned back to look toward the entrance of the banquet hall.
With one look, several black-suited bodyguards rushed up together.
The originally noisy banquet hall suddenly fell silent.
"Qin Chu... Qin Chu... dare to touch me and see!"
A crisp voice.
The threat in her words.
As everyone looked up again, they saw Ye Li at the top of the staircase on the second floor, facing a wall of bodyguards standing in a row with their hands behind their backs.
"Mrs. Fu, Qin Chu is the Qin family’s Second Miss. How could she disappear in her own house?"
"Yeah, today is President Qin’s birthday celebration; it’s not appropriate for Mrs. Fu to cause such a scene, is it?"
"Even if Uncle Fu were here, he wouldn’t allow the Lady to act this way. Even if Mrs. Fu is headstrong, there should be a limit!"
"..."
The guests chattered, and Ye Li was burning with anxiety.
She called over and over again, but no one answered the phone.
Everywhere she turned, there were only people and voices trying to stop her.
Ye Li, with a bold heart, yelled, "Qin Zhongsong, you’re a grown man, double-timing and all, but still letting others plot against your daughter—what kind of man are you?"
"How dare you!"
The door to the study burst open, and Qin Zhongsong stepped out, his gaze sharply piercing Ye Li, "Is Mrs. Fu trying to run wild in my Qin house?"
"I am running wild; what can you do about it?"
Ye Li’s gaze was sharp as a knife, "One minute, I want to see Qin Chu! Otherwise, Qin Zhongsong, you better weigh whether the Qin family can afford to offend the Fu Family or Fu Yanci!"
Qin Zhongsong’s complexion trembled.
Even if Fu Yanci himself were here, he would have to speak politely to President Qin.
But Ye Li, a young girl, dared to utter such outrageous threats?
Yet strangely, the young girl wasn’t the least bit afraid of him, acting as if she would set the Qin house on fire if he didn’t hand over Qin Chu.
With a gloomy expression, Qin Zhongsong turned back to look at the butler and Qin Yuchen, "What’s going on? Where is Qin Chu?"
The butler lowered his head, "I came back to the banquet hall straight from your study; I didn’t notice where the Second Miss went."
Qin Yuchen had a mocking expression, "She has her own legs; if she wanted to leave, could I really stop her?"
Looking around, he spotted President Hu in the crowd, and seeing him nod, Qin Yuchen turned back, his eyes full of excitement.
"Mrs. Fu!"
"It’s been 15 seconds already, only 45 seconds left. If I don’t see Qin Chu, don’t come begging me when the Qin family’s bad times roll around!"
The young girl had the determined look of burning her boats, but Qin Zhongsong felt his raging heart inexplicably soften by three parts.
With Mrs. Fu looking out for her, Chu Chu’s days in Imperial City might be a bit easier.
The thought arose and then faded as Qin Zhongsong looked at the bodyguards blocking Ye Li’s path, "Go upstairs, find her!"
This is the Qin family private residence; only the banquet hall on the first floor was equipped with cameras.
Floors above the second had no surveillance to check.
Hearing the house master’s order, the bodyguards acted swiftly, exchanging glances before heading towards the second, third, fourth, and fifth floors.
"No one."
"No one!"
"No one..."
Room after room, doors were opened.
Voices came drifting down.
Her phone ’dinged’ softly. Ye Li glanced down, her heart slowly sinking.
The next moment, a sudden scream resounded.
