81: Cloud City Shock

Meanwhile!

Chen Mingjun and the others headed towards the direction of the vegetable market, while also keeping an eye on their surroundings.

Unfortunately, the worst happened.

Because he suddenly saw a familiar electric scooter parked by the roadside ahead.

He quickly pulled the car over, and before the Bodyguards in the car could react, he had already rushed out.

The three people in the back seat exchanged glances, all showing expressions of doubt.

"Let's go down and see."

When they got out, they saw Chen Mingjun examining an electric scooter by the roadside.

"Uncle, what's wrong?"

Chen Mingjun heard this, didn't even lift his head, and said in a low voice, "This is my daughter's scooter."

Clearly, he was in a very bad mood at the moment.

The scooter was parked here, and more importantly, the keys were still in the scooter, which was enough to explain everything.

The expressions on the faces of the three Bodyguards disappeared upon hearing this.

"Call the boss. Chen Beixuan's sister is missing. I'm calling the police. Have them check the surveillance footage around here."

Soon, the call reached Li Gang.

Li Gang, who was eating, heard his phone ring again and somewhat helplessly put down his chopsticks.

Tang Jiayan saw this and couldn't help but say, "Can't whatever it is wait until after dinner?"

Li Gang looked at Li Yi, who was engrossed in eating, and said with a wry smile, "If it were before, of course, no problem, but now is an extraordinary time. You all eat first."

Saying that, he got up and walked to the side.

After five minutes, he turned his head with an unnatural expression and called out, "Xiaoyi, stop eating, come out with me."

Li Yi, who was engrossed in eating, heard this and turned to look at his father. Seeing his father's somewhat off expression, his heart couldn't help but clench.

Could something have happened at this time?

Thinking of this, he got up and followed him outside.

"What's wrong? Is Chen Jianteng causing trouble again?"

Only Chen Family matters, or something related to them, could make his father show such an expression now.

Unexpectedly, Li Gang's next words made his face change drastically.

"Chen Beixuan's sister is missing."

"What? Missing? Didn't we send people to keep an eye on her? How could something like this still happen?"

"It's different. It takes time for our people to reach Cloud City. She should have gone missing before our people arrived."

"It must be that old geezer Chen Jianteng who had someone do it. What do we do now? Once Chen Beixuan finds out, for his sister's safety, he will definitely reconcile with the Chen Family. No, don't let him know yet."

The sudden turn of events made Li Yi pace back and forth anxiously.

Putting himself in Chen Beixuan's shoes, if he were Chen Beixuan, he would unhesitatingly choose to compromise with the Chen Family in exchange for his sister's safety.

As for other things, they were secondary.

Although he could understand, after all, this was human nature; anyone would choose this way.

Li Gang heard this, waved his hand, and denied, "No, it can't be hidden. First, his father will tell him about this. Even if he doesn't, if it's really Chen Jianteng who did it, do you think he wouldn't contact Chen Beixuan?"

"He'll know anyway. So it can't be hidden. Not only can it not be hidden, but we must immediately inform him. This way, you personally go to the hospital, and comfort him, asking him to give us some time."

"I'm calling the people in the city now to ask them to help contact Cloud City. As long as she is still in Cloud City, it shouldn't be a big problem. The fear is that she is no longer in Cloud City."

Li Yi heard this and nodded, thinking it made a lot of sense. However, now was not the time to think about these things; he had to go to the hospital first to stabilize Chen Beixuan.

Without hesitation, he quickly went to the garage, got into his car, and left the manor.

When he arrived at the hospital, he had just stepped into Chen Beixuan's ward.

Before he could even speak, the other party asked first, "Young Master Li, has something happened to my sister?"

Li Yi heard this and frowned. It seemed Chen Jianteng had contacted him.

"Yes, I just received news from Cloud City that your sister is missing. But don't worry, we have already contacted the Cloud City authorities. As long as she hasn't left Cloud City, we will definitely find her. By the way, how did you know?"

After Chen Beixuan received Li Yi's confirmation, his mood instantly plummeted to rock bottom.

He raised his hand and handed over the phone he was holding.

At first, he thought the message on it was Chen Jianteng trying to scare him by having someone send it, but he never expected it to be true.

For a moment, his mind was in turmoil, unsure if what he was doing was right or wrong. If he could find his sister, it would be fine, but if not... how would he face his parents later?

Li Yi didn't know what he was thinking. He reached out and curiously took the phone Chen Beixuan handed over.

Looking down, he saw the message and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

This was a message sent from outside the country, simple and clear in its meaning.

It was telling Chen Beixuan to deal with it himself. Although it didn't explicitly say so.

But he clearly understood the meaning behind it, and also knew that Chen Jianteng had had someone do this.

Unfortunately, there was no evidence at all. This text message was completely useless and couldn't prove that Chen Yanxi's disappearance was related to the other party.

His only worry now was that his father's words would not come true.

Since things had come to this, he had no other choice. After a moment of thought, he stepped forward, patted Chen Beixuan's shoulder, and said, "This matter started because of us. Whatever you want to do, I won't stop you. We respect your choice, after all, if it were me, I would do the same."

Li Yi's words surprised Chen Beixuan. He had thought the other party would keep this matter hidden and not let him know.

If that were the case, he would have been very disappointed.

But he hadn't expected that not only did the other party not hide it, but they also let him choose for himself.

"Brother Yi, I can only give you half a day. If she still can't be found by noon tomorrow, for my sister's safety, I can only reconcile with Chen Jianteng. I hope you can understand."

Upon hearing this, Li Yi was greatly surprised, "Understand, of course, I understand. Brother, don't worry, no matter what, if even one hair on your sister's head is harmed, we won't let the Chen Family off easily."

Seeing this, Chen Beixuan nodded with a complicated expression. At this moment, he didn't even have the mood to appreciate the nurse beside him.

Indeed, some circles are not as simple as they appear on the surface.

He didn't know before, he was just a frog in a well.

That's right, how can a frog at the bottom of a well know the vastness of the world.
