BXBX NOVEL Chapter 120 - 120 Where Are People from Dream Phil Company?
The tall man supported Lin Wan and quickly scanned the surroundings. After ensuring no one was watching, he lifted Lin Wan and headed toward the van parked by the roadside.
Meanwhile, at Blue Bay Villa, Xiao Yichen was at home. He glanced at the wall clock and felt increasingly anxious.
It was 11.00 pm, and Lin Wan had yet to return.
Are they planning to have dinner well into midnight?
Xiao Yichen couldn’t wait any longer. His expression was growing cold. He took out his phone and dialed Lin Wan’s number.
However, her phone was turned off when he tried calling.
Instantly, Xiao Yichen, who had been seated on the sofa, stood and frowned.
Is her phone turned off? Has it run out of battery? Or…
Xiao Yichen refused to give up. He dialed her number again, but the phone remained off.
Panic coursed through Xiao Yichen.
There was no word from Lin Wan. Even a minute’s silence sent his heart into turmoil and nerves into overdrive.
Xiao Yichen grabbed his phone and called You Luan.
“Mr. Xiao.” You Luan received a call from his boss in the dead of night. As usual, he dared not be lax.
“Send someone to Baiyun Road, 20th to look for Lin Wan,” Xiao Yichen ordered.
You Luan was somewhat puzzled. Has Mrs. Xiao disappeared?
“Yes,” You Luan replied immediately.
Xiao Yichen ended the call. He walked out of the villa and sped off to leave Blue Bay.
On the way, Xiao Yichen drove at breakneck speed. It took him forty minutes early to reach the restaurant entrance where Lin Wan had dinner tonight.
The restaurant’s general manager had received a call from the Eastern Empire’s president’s assistant ten minutes earlier. Since the restaurant was managed by a catering company under the Eastern Empire, Xiao Yichen was their boss.
“Mr. Xiao.” The restaurant manager spotted Xiao Yichen exiting his car and greeted him with the utmost respect.
“Where are the people from Dream Phil Company?” Xiao Yichen inquired directly with gloomy expression.
“They settled their bill and left around ten o’clock,” the restaurant manager replied politely.
“Around ten?” Xiao Yichen abruptly halted in his steps and turned to fix his gaze on the restaurant manager behind him.
“Yes, indeed. They settled their bill at ten o’clock, and everyone left. The private room where they dined had been cleaned by our waiter before eleven,” the restaurant manager replied nervously, wary of provoking the ire of this influential boss.
In Ancheng City, it was common knowledge that if Xiao Yichen became upset, the entire city would feel the effects, especially considering his indirect authority over them.
Upon observing his boss’s silence, the restaurant manager continued, “Mr. Xiao, I assure you my words are accurate. Dream Phil Company was the sole group dining in the private room area tonight; I distinctly recall it.”
Xiao Yichen shot a furious glare at the restaurant manager. At this moment, he deeply regretted not contacting the manager to request surveillance on Lin Wan.
If he had done so, he wouldn’t have been unable to locate Lin Wan.
Where did that d*mn little woman go?
Just then, You Luan rushed over with a few others.
Xiao Yichen immediately turned his attention to You Luan.
“Mr. Xiao,” You Luan greeted him before continuing. “We’ve just come from Dream Phil Company. Mrs…”
You Luan had only uttered a single word when he suddenly felt it was inappropriate to refer to Lin Wan as “Mrs. Xiao” in such a circumstance. He swiftly changed his wording. “Miss Lin’s car is still parked in front of the office building.”
In an instant, Xiao Yichen fixed a murderous gaze upon the restaurant manager and demanded angrily, “Are you certain she left the restaurant safely?”
