“Then, did you see—”
Just as he moved to ask whether the receptionist had seen Ji Ziming come down, his eyes drifted over in Pei Ge’s direction, and he realized with a start that she was missing!
“Pei Ge?!”
His eyes widened in shock. No longer bothering to ask these people here, he quickly ran over to where she was supposed to be seated.
“Ge Ge! Ge Ge?!”
When he scoured the rest area and did not see even her shadow, his face turned ghastly.
Don’t tell me… Don’t tell me she’s led away by Qiao Jingyun?!
Such a thought automatically appeared in his mind.
“No… No way!”
He pursed his lips tightly together as his eyes wavered.
“Mr. Fu, Mr. Fu, is anything the problem?”
The manager in the lobby noted his abnormality and quickly made his way over.
This voice pulled his thoughts back from his self-blame.
“Answer me!” He tightly grasped the manager’s shoulders. “Why is the lady sitting here missing?! Did someone bring her away?!”
“Sss!”
His tight grasp made the manager suck in his breath in pain. At the same time, the latter noted the former’s ghastly face and red eyes.
He instantly forgot about his pain and answered him.
“T-The lady wearing a white coat?”
“Yes! Where is she?!”
“S-She went off with a man.”
“Man?!”
The ominous feeling in his heart grew in intensity.
“Yes, a man in black clothes.”
“Black clothes…”
The frown on his face deepened at this.
No! Ji Ziming isn’t wearing black today!
Drops of sweat appeared on his forehead.
“Which direction did they go?”
“I saw them board the elevator.”
The manager was a little frightened by his agitation and dazedly pointed at the elevator.
Following where the man was pointing and spotting the elevator’s shut doors, Fu Mingxuan immediately sprinted over.
When he saw the elevator stop on the eighteenth floor, he quickly pressed for the other elevator.
Ding!
He rushed in the moment the doors parted open.
Watching the man come and go in a flash, the manager was dazed and mumbled, “What happened?”
Only once he was inside the elevator did Fu Mingxuan recall that he did not bring his phone out when he brought Pei Ge out to find Ji Ziming.
“D*mn it!”
He smashed his fists on the elevator walls with a look of regret and irritation.
He felt even more nervous as he watched the number on the elevator display screen rise. Only god knew who had brought Pei Ge away.
Moreover, was the person who had brought her away part of Qiao Jingyun’s plan?
Everything that was happening vexed him.
He did not dare to think of how Pei Ge’s fate would be if the drunk her truly ended up in that woman’s hands.
After all, he still knew bits of how that vile woman plotted against others. There were rumors of the vicious method she had used to ruin another girl’s chastity and drove her away from the Ji family.
That was also why his childhood friend’s parents could no longer tolerate this woman, who was supposedly the man’s life savior, and sent her overseas…
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Pei Ge was currently in danger.
However, what this man riding the elevator like an ant on a hot pan did not know was that Pei Ge’s present situation was totally unlike his expectations!
“I’ll beat you to death you stupid thug!”
“Heroine, heroine, please spare my life! Please spare my life! Don’t hit me anymore—no more!”
Cough, cough, cough! It was truly very dangerous but the person in danger was not her!
“Say it! Where is Ziming?! Didn’t you say that you know where he is?!”
She stomped on the man sprawled on the floor and sporting wounds all over his face. Her voice was filled with displeasure as she pressed the man for answer.
“I-I don’t know…”
“You don’t know? You clearly said that you’ll bring me to where he is. Quickly say it! If not, I’ll beat you to death!”
She stamped her feet on the man again.
“Elder sister, I really don’t know! I was lying to you earlier. I don’t even know who that man is!”
The man cried out in anguish from the pain; alas, his cries did not appease the woman and instead…
“What did you say?! You don’t know?!”
“Yes! Heroine, please do a good deed here by sparing my life. I honestly don’t know.”
“You don’t know, yet you lied to me?! You should really be beaten to death!”
As she said that, she gave the man another hard kick.
When Fu Mingxuan found her, what he saw was her crazily beating up the man.
“How dare you take advantage of this young lady and not know Ziming?! How dared to lie to me?!”
He gawked at the sight of the woman one-sidedly beating up the man. The corner of his lips could not help twitching.
Suddenly, he realized that she was a little different from the girl in his memories.
“Ge Ge, Ge Ge, stop. He’s going to die at this rate.”
Seeing her continue to beat up the man who had already fainted, he quickly rushed into the room and stopped her.
“So what if he dies?! Forget that this stupid thug tried to take advantage of me, he even lied to me by saying that he knew where Ziming was!”
She huffed. Although she was still drunk, it could be seen that she was extremely furious.
“Are you alright? Did he do anything to you?”
He quickly grabbed her hand and pulled her into his embrace while carefully inspecting her.
What none of them expected was that, just as he nervously pulled her into his embrace and lowered his head to check if she had any injury, a tall figure would suddenly appear at the door.
“What… are you two doing?”
