Jin Yuanyuan's Top-Tier Life

Chapter 75 Jin Yuanyuan is missing

Jin Yuanyuan has been out of contact for four hours.

When Cao Xiaoyu and Zhao Zhuoran came out of the police station's interrogation area, they assumed Jin Yuanyuan was still talking to Officer Li, so they quietly sat down by the door to wait. It wasn't until Officer Li returned from dinner that he saw the two of them and asked, "You two wanted to see me? Is there something you haven't finished talking about?"

"Huh? Yuanyuan isn't inside?" Cao Xiaoyu exclaimed immediately. "We were just wondering why it took so long to ask. If we were talking about this from kindergarten, we would have said it three times already."

"What? Zhang Dali and Jin Yuanyuan knew each other since kindergarten? Not high school sweethearts?" Officer Li was a little confused.

"No, no, that's just my analogy. Yuanyuan and I are brothers from the same womb..." Cao Xiaoyu's words became increasingly incoherent, but Zhao Zhuoran politely asked, "Officer Li, when did Yuanyuan leave? Approximately how long ago? Did she say where she was going?"

Officer Li seemed to like Zhao Zhuoran, a polite young man, and since they knew about his overseas education and restaurant business during their investigation, they had a relatively good impression of him. Therefore, Officer Li was very courteous to Zhao Zhuoran and answered his questions one by one: "She left here around 5:50 or 6:00, so it's been about an hour and a half. She didn't say where she was going. I saw her leave without seeing you, and she didn't seem to stop; she just went downstairs."

"She didn't call or text me!" Cao Xiaoyu flipped through her phone again, pressing buttons repeatedly. "Is her phone dead? Or is there no signal for me?"

"Well, I don't know about that." Officer Li shook his head, but still said earnestly, "Well, you should let her calm down by herself. It's such a big deal. Even though she wasn't actually deceived, from her perspective, being deceived by her first love wouldn't be a good feeling."

"I knew it! That Zhang Dali is no good. He's been narrow-minded since he was little. It's just that Yuanyuan likes him. Luckily, they broke up early, otherwise, who knows what kind of trouble would have gotten into now." Cao Xiaoyu really talks too much and can't control himself.

Fortunately, Jin Feiyan called him at this time and asked if Jin Yuanyuan was with them.

"No? Didn't they come looking for you? Right, wait a minute, I'll call Ye Huanxi and ask... But logically speaking, at this time, I wouldn't be looking for Ye Huanxi." Cao Xiaoyu hung up Jin Feiyan's phone and hurriedly called Ye Huanxi.

Ye Huanxi didn't know about this at first, but after Cao Xiaoyu blurted it out, Ye Huanxi panicked and insisted on buying a high-speed train ticket from Shanghai immediately. Zhao Zhuoran snatched the phone and said, "Ye Huanxi, wait a bit. Let's talk after we find Yuanyuan. What if Yuanyuan comes looking for you now? If she contacts you, let us know immediately."

"Oh, okay, okay." Ye Huanxi thought about it and realized it was indeed possible, so she immediately agreed.

Zhao Zhuoran called Jin Yuanyuan again, as well as via WeChat voice call, but no one answered. "She might not have heard it because she was outside. My phone is also on silent, so she might have missed some messages."

Even so, Cao Xiaoyu was still a little uneasy. He knew Jin Yuanyuan well; this matter must have made her very sad. Even if nothing happened after she and Zhang Dali reunited, she would still be tempted after all.

"No, let's see the person first."

"Jin Yuanyuan seems to be doing alright. She was just chatting and laughing with me..." Officer Li pouted. "She's a grown woman; she shouldn't be thinking of doing something drastic..."

"Pah, pah, pah!" Zhao Zhuoran and Cao Xiaoyu exclaimed in unison, with Zhao Zhuoran adding, "May Jin Yuanyuan have great fortune."

"Alright, I'll call my colleagues to ask if they've seen her..." Officer Li called the officers who interrogated Zhang Dali and Li Zequn. They weren't on the same floor, but both said they hadn't seen Jin Yuanyuan.

That only means that Jin Yuanyuan has probably left, but no one knows where she went.

At 10 p.m., four hours after Jin Yuanyuan went missing, Zhao Zhuoran and Cao Xiaoyu still hadn't found her. It's possible that they called too many times and Jin Yuanyuan's phone ran out of battery and turned off.

The two of them became even more nervous, unsure of where to look for someone.

Jin Feiyan suggested calling Jin Yuanbao to ask, "Yuanyuan definitely doesn't want to tell her mother about this, but maybe she could tell her father? Actually, I think she and her father might have a better relationship?"

"Maybe not?" Cao Xiaoyu muttered, but still called Jin Yuanbao. Jin Yuanbao was taken aback when he heard that Jin Yuanyuan couldn't be found. However, this old father was very perceptive and immediately asked them what had happened.

Cao Xiaoyu then recounted the entire incident in detail, and Jin Yuanbao immediately flew into a rage. His voice on the other end of the phone was even louder than Zhu Hongying's, "Cao Xiaoyu! Why didn't you call me sooner! Can you handle something this big? Why didn't you discuss it with Yuanyuan's mother? At least you should have informed Yuanyuan first. She usually seems carefree and nonchalant, but she's actually very concerned about her image. She feels ashamed after what you've done, so naturally she'll want to find a place to hide! You lot, you're all such a worry!"

After being yelled at like that, Cao Xiaoyu didn't dare to say a word.

Zhao Zhuoran picked up the phone again and said, "Uncle Jin, don't worry, we've been looking for Yuanyuan. Think about it, where could she have gone? We just checked all the coffee shops near the police station..."

"Let me think..." Hearing Zhao Zhuoran's voice, Jin Yuanbao softened a little. "Yuanyuan hasn't encountered any problems. Basically, everything has gone smoothly for her. You saw her leaving that PR company; she seemed quite happy, like nothing had happened to her..."

"Uncle, this is different..." Zhao Zhuoran was also a little unsure of what to say. "Please think about it again. Maybe Yuanyuan is unhappy and wants to eat..."

"No way, she hates eating. I always have to coax her to eat. Otherwise, I wouldn't have opened Jin Yaya Restaurant and made her different delicious dishes every day."

"Uncle, where will Yuanyuan go?" Cao Xiaoyu couldn't help but ask again.

"You two have been inseparable since you were little, practically glued to each other all the time. Didn't you know? Didn't Feiyan know?" Jin Yuanbao was utterly ruthless towards Cao Xiaoyu, scolding him as if he were his own son. "You lot are always causing trouble, making a complete mess of things. Now that you've gotten yourself into this mess, you're only telling me now? I'm furious! I'm coming over to find you..."

"No, Uncle, I'll drive to pick you up, and then you can think of somewhere Yuanyuan can go..." Zhao Zhuoran had already gone to drive his truck.
