Rotting Land: Survive

Chapter 661 650: Liu Yunpeng's Suspicion (Part 1)

After breakfast, Liu Yunpeng was bored and ready to go back to his room for a nap. When he opened the door, the room was still empty, which puzzled him a bit: "Where the hell did that woman run off to today?"

So far, Liu Yunpeng hadn't seen even the slightest shadow of Li Huiru, which was unimaginable in the past.

Usually, Li Huiru was practically like his shadow, always following him around.

But what happened today, she disappeared right after getting up in the morning.

He had spent about 20 minutes eating, and if she were looking for him, she should have at least come to the dining hall, but in reality…

Liu Yunpeng, feeling a bit annoyed, walked to the window and pulled open the curtain, taking in the view of the entire factory.

He scanned each corner where someone might be hiding but still couldn't find that familiar figure.

"Heh, this woman actually dares to put on airs today, I'm going to see what you've been up to!" Liu Yunpeng dismissed the idea of taking a nap again, opened the door and began a thorough search.

However, after several rounds up and down, he even searched each stall in the women's restroom, always with the same result, no sign of Li Huiru.

How could this be, could this woman fly?

Liu Yunpeng unwillingly ran to the rooftop, and again scanned the factory, still nothing.

Could she have been called by Dad? Liu Yunpeng thought of his father's attitude towards her yesterday, considering it a strong possibility, so he hurriedly rushed to Liu Fugui's office.

"Hey, Huang Yong, is my girlfriend in my father's office?"

At that moment, Huang Yong was on duty outside Liu Fugui's office. Liu Yunpeng's straightforward attitude somewhat annoyed him, but he didn't show the slightest dissatisfaction, and calmly said:

"Young Master, Mr. Liu has been reading inside since finishing breakfast, instructing not to be disturbed, and I've been stationed outside, without seeing Miss Li come here."

"Ah? Really...that's strange, where did the woman vanish to." With the biggest possibility ruled out, Liu Yunpeng began to find the situation a bit odd.

"What's wrong? Young Master? Did something happen to Miss Li?" Huang Yong concealed it well; from his appearance, there was no indication that he was the mastermind behind Li Huiru's disappearance.

"Damn, since this morning I haven't seen her shadow, no clue where she vanished to." Liu Yunpeng was extremely frustrated, Huang Yong quickly comforted him: "Perhaps Miss Li has something somewhere in the factory, would Young Master like me to send someone to search for her?"

"Search for what? I've searched everywhere up and down several times, and can't find her!" Liu Yunpeng paced back and forth restlessly: "This damn factory is this big, where do you think she could run to."

"Uh…" Huang Yong pretended to think deeply.

Liu Yunpeng suddenly stopped pacing, turned, and stared at Huang Yong for a long time, causing the latter to ask bewilderedly: "Young Master, you are…?"

"Damn it, could it be some reckless idiot under your command brought her to a room?"

He knew well of Li Huiru's looks. Usually when they walked in the factory together, those envious looks from his subordinates satisfied him greatly, hence he believed, that a living person couldn't just disappear without reason in the factory, the most likely cause was someone with a sex-driven brain foolish enough to whisk her away.

Upon hearing this, Huang Yong immediately shook his head in denial: "Young Master, that shouldn't happen. I know my men aren't upstanding individuals, but even if they had ten times the guts, they wouldn't dare touch your woman."

"Hmph! I think that's not necessarily true. I want to search each room, and if I find her, Huang Yong, you'll have to face the consequences."

"Young Master, calm down, I personally think this isn't appropriate. Conducting a search of the subordinates' rooms before understanding the situation could shake their morale!"

"What? What else needs understanding? Why are you so afraid of me searching your subordinates' rooms?" An explanation is merely a cover-up, Liu Yunpeng suddenly realized something, and sneered: "Ah, I get it now, wasn't it you just saying your men wouldn't dare do such things? Then could it be you, the leader, who did it?"

Liu Yunpeng stared at Huang Yong with eyes like blazing fire, as if he'd burn him on the spot if he dared lie.

Who is Huang Yong, he wasn't raised to be frightened, moreover, he had no interest in women like Li Huiru, regardless he wouldn't let Liu Yunpeng search his room.

After all, if he yielded, his dignity would be utterly obliterated.

"Young Master, how could someone like me do such things, I'll pretend I didn't hear that. Here's what I think, I'll accompany you to search around, maybe Miss Li is just in some corner."

"Hmph, no need, I have made it clear before; I've searched the office building thoroughly, besides the rooms, there's no trace of Huiru anywhere else. Are you scared? Why don't you dare let me search your room, are you afraid I'll catch her red-handed in there?"

Huang Yong retorted without flinching: "Young Master, say what you want about me, but please don't insult my character. I would never do such a disgraceful thing, if you truly searched the office building entirely, I reckon we'd better ask the guards at the bottom floor if they have any news."

Liu Yunpeng calmed down and thought it over. Regardless, Huang Yong managed numerous affairs in the factory, and his father valued him greatly. If he rashly searched Huang Yong's room without evidence, even if Huang Yong didn't mind, his father wouldn't treat him kindly.

Remembering Liu Fugui's enraged face from yesterday, Liu Yunpeng abandoned the immediate search of Huang Yong's room, yet cleverly put defense to offense, saying:

"Fine, let's do as you said, I'll go with you to ask the guards, but if there's still no clue about Huiru, I'll have no choice but to search each room in this building, including yours, Huang Yong. I hope you wouldn't oppose by then."

Huang Yong smirked inwardly. Fool, always a fool, do you think you'd have such an opportunity? Everything has been orchestrated, and what you presently see and hear are merely parts of the play…

"Rest assured, Young Master, a person can't disappear into thin air. If there's no news of Miss Li at the bottom floor, she must be in the office building, so I'll accompany you to thoroughly search the entire building." (To be continued.
