Lu Yunannan felt as if a great stone was pressing on his chest, making it difficult to breathe. After adjusting his breathing and recovering for a while, he called the butler.
“Uncle Li, go and check Madam’s apartment. See if she’s there. If not, send people to monitor Xia Xiyue at University A. I need to know Madam’s situation as soon as possible.”
“Understood, young master.”
After hanging up the phone, the butler shook his head and sighed, quickly instructing his subordinates to investigate. He then got into his car and personally headed towards the original owner’s apartment.
“Alas, why must the young master go through such trouble? Why not let Madam go and be free, and stay well with Sister Yuanyuan? Wouldn’t that make everyone happy? However, as long as the young master is happy, that’s all that matters.”
“Even if the young master asked me to die, I would be willing. It’s just a little bit of illegal, disorderly conduct. I will handle everything for him.”
Before work ended, Lu Yunannan received the news. Nearby surveillance footage showed that Xia Xilin had indeed been kidnapped by Wang Nuoyi.
Xia Xilin remained missing and had not contacted Xia Xiyue at all. Lu Yunannan clenched his fist, his veins bulging, and swept everything on the table to the floor.
“Impossible, impossible. How could a person just disappear? She must be joking with me. That woman is the most cunning and deep. She must have hidden somewhere else.”
“Go investigate, investigate. Alive, I want to see her. Dead, I want to see her body. No, she definitely isn’t dead. If you can’t find her whereabouts, don’t come back.”
“Yes, young master.”
After Lu Yunannan threw a tantrum, he put on his suit jacket, took the elevator to the underground garage, and drove towards the South Sea.
After he left, the assistant cautiously entered the office and sorted everything into categories.
Lu Yunannan drove to the vicinity of the accident. The cliff edge was completely cordoned off by a cordon line.
The police were still conducting a search, as the surveillance footage clearly showed the deceased had also kidnapped a woman. This matter had not yet been disclosed to the public.
The whereabouts of the woman were still unknown, and she might have been swept out to the deep sea. If she wasn’t found in two more days, the police would have to withdraw.
Lu Yunannan got out of the car and spoke with the leading detective. The police officer could tell his purpose and directly asked him what had happened.
“My wife was kidnapped and her whereabouts are still unknown. I would like to understand the exact information that your police department has.”
The detective cast him a sympathetic glance and showed him the video captured by the surveillance.
Lu Yunannan watched as Xia Xilin was put into the trunk. The surveillance footage followed the car all along, and Xia Xilin was not seen coming out at any point.
He felt his head spin, and he could barely stand. He mumbled to himself, “Impossible, impossible.”
The police officer patted his shoulder, “Please accept my condolences. You need to prepare for the worst.”
Lu Yunannan flung the policeman’s hand away, “Shut up, don’t talk nonsense. My wife will be fine. Aren’t you police officers? Why didn’t you discover that someone was kidnapped earlier? Why, why?”
He fell to his knees with a thud, silent tears streaming from the corners of his eyes. He pounded the sandy ground with his fists.
Both his hands were injured and bleeding profusely, as if he felt no pain, continuing to repeat the motion of hitting the ground.
Several police officers nearby came to pull him away. He struggled free and suddenly jumped into the sea with a splash.
“Xia Xilin, I’m coming to find you. You’re definitely not dead. I won’t let you die. I must find you.”
He suddenly saw a glittering object and swam towards it with all his might to retrieve it. Upon looking, he realized it was their wedding ring. That dead woman, she really had fallen into this sea.
Lu Yunannan could no longer hold back and fainted. His hand was still tightly gripping the ring.
Shui Wa: “This male lead has the vibe of a sadomasochistic novel.”
Jun Jiuli: “This pretentious act is so disgusting. If he loved her so much, why didn’t he cherish her when she was alive? He had to abuse her.”
“The book says there were many misunderstandings, that’s what makes it interesting.”
“Nonsense, children, remember this: if you encounter such a yandere, run quickly. If you can’t escape, call 110. Just read novels, don’t believe them.”
Lu Yunannan woke up again, lying on his luxurious bed. He felt a burning dryness and pain in his throat.
“Water, I need water.”
“Yu Nan Gege, you’re finally awake. Yuanyuan was so worried.”
As Qiao Yuanyuan spoke, she quickly fed Lu Yunannan water spoonful by spoonful.
“Cough, cough, I’m fine. You must be tired after staying up with me all night, go back and rest.”
“Yuanyuan isn’t tired at all. I just want to stay here with Yu Nan Gege.”
“Alright then, help me get my phone.”
“Yu Nan Gege finally woke up, you should rest well. You can do work anytime.”
“Give it to me.”
Qiao Yuanyuan looked at his serious gaze and reluctantly went to get his phone.
