Chapter 1025 - 1024: Missing
The assistant felt puzzled seeing Ouyang speak this way. Some things that Boss’s family couldn’t handle were normal, so why did it feel surprising to him?
"I need you to find someone for me. I know you have a wide network in Jiang City; I just came back, you understand."
Ouyang Xin didn’t speak.
It seemed Xu Ke truly needed his help this time. Since his good brother had spoken up like this, he would surely do his best to help him.
"Alright, don’t worry, it’s on me. I’ll find them for you."
Although Ouyang said so, in his heart, he felt very strange. Who could be worth this much attention from Xu Ke?
In all these years of brotherhood, he had never seen Xu Ke care so much about someone.
Could it be that Xu Ke had fallen for a girl?
This thought was quickly dismissed by Ouyang. Wasn’t Xu Ke not interested in women?
"What are you thinking? Don’t have random thoughts; I’m just asking you to find someone for me. Don’t look so hopeless."
Xu Ke looked serious.
This made Ouyang, who was joking, instantly regain his composure. "Go on, who are we looking for?"
"The Huyan family’s heiresses, Tangtang and Guoguo."
Cough, cough, cough. Ouyang was about to drink water, and hearing Xu Ke say this, he choked with surprise. He was extremely astonished; he didn’t expect Xu Ke was asking him to find these two people.
"Why, are you surprised? I’m just asking you to help me find Tangtang and Guoguo," Xu Ke seemed to notice his surprise and said with a smile.
"Xu Ke, you’re interested in the Huyan heiresses? Let me tell you, I’ve heard that the Huyan elder is very strict with outsiders, otherwise, the Huyan Family wouldn’t claim to be the boss of Jiang City."
Xu Ke was slightly taken aback.
Could it be that he really liked Tangtang? This shouldn’t be. Surely he was overthinking it?
The truth is, outsiders can see clearly while insiders are confused. Even Xu Ke’s assistant felt that his boss cares more about the Huyan heiresses. He sensed this ever since the incident at the hospital.
"Alright, stop saying random things, and stop guessing. Just find them for me. I have a lot of other matters to attend to, so I’m leaving now."
Ouyang was exasperated.
This guy is really unethical, inviting him for drinks, but leaving without even having a sip.
Isn’t he just messing with him?
Xu Ke was truly helpless. Even he didn’t know about his feelings. What was going on with him?
Nightfall. It quietly arrived.
Inside the Huyan family’s villa. The lights were bright.
The elder Huyan sat in a chair. Now Tangtang and Guoguo had been away from home for almost a month, and there was still no news.
How could he not be worried?
Housekeeper Uncle Wu saw his own family elder like this, and his heart felt very uncomfortable. In his heart, the Huyan family is his own family, and he already treated Tangtang and Guoguo like relatives.
"Chairman. You might as well stop waiting. So many days have passed, and there is still no news of Tangtang and Guoguo. Maybe no news is the best news. Don’t worry too much."
Though the words were said like that, the elder Huyan did not think so.
Tangtang and Guoguo are his hope for living on. The two of them can’t have anything happen. After all, for such a large family business, who will manage it?
Under the housekeeper’s persuasion, the elder Huyan finally agreed to return to his room to rest.
His health was deteriorating day by day. Plus, with no news of Tangtang and Guoguo recently, he had been working day and night, which made his condition worse.
Night enveloped all of Jiang City like this.
At this moment in the villa, the servants had gone to rest. In the room, the elder Huyan sat alone in a chair.
Though he stayed in this villa every day, he knew about those things happening in the business world; for now, he could only rely on his two daughters.
To rescue the entire Huyan clan. This family business was earned with his hard work, and it couldn’t just disappear. It represented his life’s dedication.
He picked up the business plan, given to him by Uncle Wu during the day, the company was currently bidding on this project.
The elder Huyan carefully read through the content of the plan and found that it was inconsistent and obviously a forged plan.
Could it be that the company was undergoing internal turmoil?
Logically, right now, it shouldn’t have reached such a rampant stage.
Putting down the plan, he couldn’t sleep for a long time. His two daughters were still missing, and he felt utterly useless.
Not even being able to protect his own family.
Thinking like this, he suddenly started to cough, which woke up the housekeeper Uncle Wu sleeping next door.
"Chairman, it’s so late, why are you still not asleep? You can look at the plan tomorrow, health is important, right?"
Uncle Wu said earnestly.
How he wished that the two heiresses could come back. This family needs them now.
"Old Wu, how long have you been with me?"
"Thirteen years, until this year, it’s been exactly thirteen years." The elder Huyan wore a face of worry.
"These thirteen years have truly been hard on you, following me, letting you suffer. Now, there’s still no trace of Tangtang and Guoguo, I can’t believe, in such a big place as Jiang City, there’s no sign of the two of them."
Uncle Wu didn’t know how to answer. At this moment, the room was filled with an awkward atmosphere.
"Old Wu, arrange for me to go to the company tomorrow, this business plan was clearly forged, I’ve been in business for so many years, I can tell this kind of thing."
Uncle Wu nodded; he trusted the chairman’s judgment. Now, with the absence of Tangtang and Guoguo, people inside the group surely would try to gain some minor benefits, which is a normal thing.
Deep into the night.
At this moment, Tangtang and Guoguo, who were in the outskirts, were looking at the moon in the sky. They both truly missed home.
"Sis, do you think Daddy is resting at this time?"
"He must be resting, it’s so late."
"Sis, how many days do you think we’ve been out? Does Daddy miss us?" Guoguo murmured quietly, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Only Tangtang, in this suburban night, pondered over her thoughts, considering what to do next.
Not knowing what Xu Ke was doing at this time. Such a thought suddenly popped into her mind.
Tangtang shook her head. Why would she think of him? Clearly, they had nothing to do with each other.
"Sis, I want to go back, I miss home," Guoguo murmured in sleep-talk. Tangtang tenderly covered her with her own clothes.
This month, Guoguo had been suffering following her.
The suburban nights always felt unusually quiet. Probably no one knew that they would be here at this moment.
