Chapter 197 Fake Death and Escape (Part 1) Huo Sili's eyes suddenly turned bloodshot.
However, in the blink of an eye, the time when Jiang Qin would usually return home no later than the afternoon arrived.
However, Jiang Qin was nowhere to be seen.
After finishing cooking two dishes in the kitchen, Zhao Ma felt inexplicably uneasy.
After washing and drying his hands, he took out his phone and sent several messages to Jiang Qin. He waited for several minutes, but received no reply.
Wang Ma frowned with worry, came out of the kitchen, and quickly walked to the entrance of the hall, craning her neck and standing on tiptoe to look at the villa entrance.
Not to mention a person, we didn't see a single car or hear the slightest sound of wheels.
He became even more worried. He remembered that whenever the second young mistress was dressed in that windbreaker, it was because she was visiting her grandmother at the cemetery. So he wanted to send a few bodyguards from Moonlight Bay to the cemetery to check what was going on.
This time was clearly about twenty minutes later than usual, and Zhao Ma felt that something was wrong.
But before she could finish speaking, she remembered that she was just a live-in housekeeper.
The old lady didn't give her any power; she and the bodyguards were equals. Even if the bodyguards were promoted, they probably wouldn't carry it out. The key point is that she hasn't had much interaction with these young men lately.
She was afraid that if she spoke up, the young people would think she was meddling.
Zhao Ma was a little conflicted. She paced back and forth in the hall, watching the minute hand of the clock move, before finally mustering up the courage to go outside.
She walked up to a bodyguard, stood down, and looked up at him, who was almost half her height.
“The second young mistress usually comes back around this time, but she hasn’t returned yet. Young man, why don’t you send a few people to check on the situation at the cemetery in the northern suburbs? Just in case something happened to the second young mistress and we couldn’t find her in time to rescue her…”
The more you talk about it, the less important it becomes. Working in a wealthy family, Zhao Ma always keeps in mind the principle of not saying anything unlucky.
She had never said it before, but at this moment, she felt inexplicably panicked. Her intuition told her that something had happened, and she couldn't rest easy without saying it. Her hands were even shaking as she held the spatula while cooking.
The bodyguard, who had also sensed something was wrong, broke out in a cold sweat when he heard Zhao Ma's words.
He quickly replied "Yes," and ran over to tell the bodyguards on duty nearby about it.
The people who usually stand guard outside don't check the time frequently.
Therefore, at this moment, it is not clear what time it is exactly; one is simply observing the position of the sun and the changes in light to determine whether it is early or late.
They had already sensed that it was getting late, and seeing that Jiang Qin hadn't returned yet, they all felt a little strange.
But they were both grown men and didn't chat casually, let alone dare to say such speculative things, so they kept it to themselves. But when they heard this, they all panicked.
Soon, the six bodyguards split into two groups and said they would send two vehicles to drive along two routes from Moon Bay to the North Suburb Cemetery to check if there had been an accident on the road. If not, it was possible that they had been kidnapped.
As they spoke, everyone regretted that when they saw a girl picking up Jiang Qin that afternoon, and heard Jiang Qin say that the girl was her friend, they had let their guard down and hadn't immediately sent someone to follow her.
Aunt Zhao was an honest woman. After she finished speaking, she didn't leave immediately. She thought that if she left the matter to the bodyguards, she wouldn't have to worry about it. Instead, she stood by and watched how the bodyguards made arrangements.
At this moment, I heard the bodyguards speculating that they might be kidnapped.
The ominous premonition in my heart instantly intensified.
Seeing the two cars leave, Zhao Ma hurriedly returned to the lobby. After thinking for a moment, she quickly called Sister Wu.
The old lady's side definitely has far more people than the Moonlight Bay side. With more people, if something really happens, they can be rescued more quickly, that's what Zhao Ma thought.
But to everyone's surprise, Sister Wu, who always answers the phone instantly, couldn't be reached today.
Zhao Ma immediately turned pale with anxiety and hesitated for a moment.
Zhao Ma quickly flipped through her contacts and dialed Wang Ma's number.
When she first came to serve Jiang Qin, she asked Wang Ma about Jiang Qin's food preferences. She thought that Wang Ma had served the second young master and second young mistress for many years and must have a lot of affection for the second young mistress.
The call connected immediately, and Zhao's mother was so anxious she almost cried.
She just checked the message she sent to Jiang Qin again; Jiang Qin hadn't replied yet. It had been so long; something must have happened.
Previously, when she sent messages, the second young mistress would reply very quickly, because the second young mistress knew that she would not bother her unless it was something important.
"Sister Zhao, is there something you need that you called me about?" Wang Ma asked in confusion at Yunhai Hua Mansion.
A few seconds later, Wang Ma's face suddenly turned pale. "You, what did you say?!"
"The meeting is adjourned here. Secretary Fu, prepare the minutes and go to the first floor of the building to pick up Chairman Wang in five minutes. Take Chairman Wang to the meeting room on this floor."
At the Huo Group headquarters, in the high-level conference room, a face-to-face multinational online meeting had just ended. Huo Sili said to Fu Rongying, who was still taking notes.
Upon hearing this, Fu Rongying quickly stopped writing and looked over with a polite yet sweet smile: "Okay, President Huo, I'll get it done right away and go pick up Chairman Wang."
Huo Sili didn't respond. The moment he finished speaking, his tall and imposing figure rose from the main leather executive chair.
Just as he was about to stride out of the conference room, the heavy double doors of the conference room were suddenly pushed open from the outside.
He Xu rushed in, panting heavily.
His face, however, was deathly pale.
Huo Sili frowned slightly, and then, upon seeing He Xu's expression, his heart suddenly began to beat erratically for some reason.
This strange feeling made him feel uncomfortable and uneasy.
"what happened?"
He Xu had run too fast and his back was still a little sore, so he tried his best to look up at Huo Sili.
As Huo Sili walked out, the senior executives who were also packing up to go back to their respective departments noticed that Assistant He Xu's expression was obviously off, and they all fell silent. Those who had stood up sat back down.
He Xu opened and closed his mouth repeatedly, but his words came out hoarsely.
It was phrased quite tactfully, but that expression was hard not to make one tense and anxious.
"Mr. Huo, Madam, Madam seems to have had an accident..."
Huo Sili's dark pupils suddenly contracted, and his face turned deathly pale.
He was about to run away, but then he forced himself to stop.
The expressions of the other executives behind him also immediately turned sour. Although He Xu's voice was hoarse, the room had been quiet for a moment. Apart from the rustling of Fu Rongying's pens as she took notes, all they heard was what He Xu had said.
In an instant, the world seemed to fall silent.
Huo Sili could hear his heart pounding wildly, and his eyes, completely out of control, instantly turned red and bloodshot.
"Where? Where did she have an accident? What do you mean by 'seems like'? Tell me!"
"The bodyguards chased after them. Zhao Ma contacted Wang Ma, who then called Butler Zhou directly. Butler Zhou didn't dare tell the old lady yet, but sent people over first. They were on their way to the North Suburb Cemetery."
He Xu's face turned deathly pale, and his voice was already choked with sobs.
Although life is unpredictable, someone I met just a few days ago suddenly had an accident.
Who could stand that?
Especially since this person is none other than a stranger.
It's still Jiang Qin.
"The car, the car exploded, I don't know if someone tampered with it..."
"We found some of the lady's fabric."
Huo Sili's eyes suddenly turned bloodshot. "What did you say?"
