Chapter 153 - HAN LUO IS MISSING
While Han Sheng Ming and Tang Yujin continued talking, Mo Yuan noticed that the door was slightly open. He frowned and thought, 'It must be Xiao Ming who didn't lock the door properly. How careless of him.' It wasn't unusual for Han Sheng Ming to act like that.
Mo Yuan shook his head and walked to the door. As he was about to close the door, his eyes landed on the ground and his body stiffened all of a sudden.
An anklet was lying on the floor. The pink diamonds on it were glittering in the lights of the corridor. They were attached to a platinum chain.
Mo Yuan bent down and took the anklet into his hands. He can identify the owner of this accessory with just a single glance. There was no reason for him to forget this even in his sleep, as he was the one who gave it to Han Luo the other night. He looked towards both sides of the corridor but couldn't find a trace of her.
Remembering what they were talking a while ago shook his heart. 'She must have heard and understood what was going on.'
Even though his friends didn't realize what caused him to have a deal with President Mu Liang. With Han Luo's intelligence, it wouldn't be hard for her to understand what made him agree to President Mu Liang's conditions.
His heart shuddered at this realization. He is having a bad feeling about this. He turned around and told his friends, "I think Ah Luo heard us."
Both Han Sheng Ming and Tang Yujin froze. Han Sheng Ming spoke first. "Oh, she knows that you are staying here. So what if she knows? It might make her slightly upset but she will come out of it eventually."
Mo Yuan didn't have the time to hear Han Sheng Ming's nonsense. He ran out of the room and went to Han Luo's room. He knocked several times but didn't hear any response. Afterward, he went to the highest floor where the restaurant was. He didn't find her even there.
'Where would she go?' he was helpless. 'There is no way that she went out in this cold weather.' He looked outside and saw that it was snowing.
Mo Yuan knew that she didn't like to wear warm clothes. His face paled and he ran downstairs. From the receptionists, he found out that Han Luo went outside with an absent mind half an hour ago. Mo Yuan's heart dropped after hearing this.
At that time, Han Sheng Ming and Tang Yujin walked toward him. "We've looked everywhere possible that she might be at but we couldn't find her," Han Sheng Ming updated the situation from their side.
Tang Yujin exclaimed worriedly, "I've already called her but she left her cell phone in her room. I knocked on the door but she didn't answer. Are you sure it's her anklet?"
Mo Yuan confirmed their speculations saying, "The people in the lobby have seen her going out half an hour earlier and didn't see her coming in. It's snowing outside too."
"If she went outside through the lobby, the guards must have noticed something. Let me talk to the guards," Tang Yujin went outside to talk to the guards.
On his way to the guards, he bumped into Noah who is back from his shopping. Seeing Tang Yujin who wasn't as calm as before, Noah reprimanded, "What are you doing outside wearing such light clothes? Don't you know it's snowing?"
Tang Yujin tried to calm himself and said, "Little Luo is missing."
"Missing?" Noah frowned. "I don't think so. I saw her going out with one of the sponsors of the competition. That person is female. It has been almost half an hour that she left. I'm surprised why she didn't contact you."
Tang Yujin sighed in relief. He replied, "She forgot to take her cell phone."
Noah wasn't surprised. It wasn't the first time she went out leaving her cell phone. "Oh, that's the case. She is still not used to having a cell phone. I think she will come back before lunch. If she doesn't, wait till evening."
Tang Yujin met Mo Yuan and Han Sheng Ming in the lobby and told them what he heard from Noah.
"So, that's how it is. Man, I was almost freaked out," Han Sheng Ming sat on the couch and looked at Mo Yuan. "Will you please tell us why you were acting as you would never see her again?"
Unlike him, Mo Yuan still wasn't relieved. He already knew the relationship between sponsor Zheng Yan Su and President Mu Liang. He knew that they were relatives. 'What could she possibly want with Ah Luo?'
Without answering Han Sheng Ming, he went out and called President Mu Liang. If Mu Liang wasn't already busy enough, he frowned after seeing the name on the screen and let his assistant answer it for him.
Assistant Ju Long already knew Mo Yuan. He answered the call and said, "Hello there, I'm Assistant Ju Long. Is there something you want to talk to President Mu about?"
Mo Yuan said in an unfriendly manner, "Hello, Assistant Long. Yes, I want to talk to him. Can you get him on the line?"
Assistant Ju Long was already used to his behavior. He replied, "He is currently busy. Why don't you talk to me?"
Mo Yuan directly asked, "Did Miss Zheng Yan Su take Han Luo to the company? Han Luo's butler saw her taking her away."
Assistant Ju Long patiently answered, "Not at all, I believe Madam Mu wanted to see Miss Han Luo but didn't know how to contact her. So, she asked Mrs. Lu Yan Su to bring Miss Han Luo to the Mu Mansion. Please don't worry about her. She is safe and sound. Just as she was taken from the hotel, she will be escorted back in the evening."
Mo Yuan felt his heart tightened. "That's all I wanted to know. Thank you, Assistant Long."
"My pleasure," Assistant Ju Long hung up.
Mo Yuan hung up and looked at the gloomy sky. 'Ah Luo, what are you doing now?'
