Chapter 1147: Chapter 524: Qiaoqiao, I Get Distracted When You’re By My Side

The housekeeper answered truthfully, "Sir has already gone directly to the traffic police department. He specially asked me to call you to inform you and see if we can find any clue about madam’s whereabouts."

Now, the CK Group is under the management of Lu Jingchen. Lu Tianming no longer has any power, so they can only rely on Lu Jingchen to see if he can find Xu Qian’s whereabouts.

Lu Jingchen couldn’t help but tighten his grip on the phone, "I’ll immediately send someone to investigate. Housekeeper Chen, stay with my dad. Call me if anything happens."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Jingchen immediately called Assistant Xue, asking him to arrange for someone to search for Xu Qian’s whereabouts.

Assistant Xue was originally on a date with his girlfriend because he had been spending all his time at work recently. As a result, he had neglected his girlfriend quite a few times, and women tend to overthink things. Sometimes they are quite petty. At the moment, she had a lot of opinions on him and even almost broke up with him.

Today, he specifically took her out to ease their relationship issues.

Upon receiving a call from his boss, Assistant Xue was about to go watch a movie with his little girlfriend. The latest movie released had a good reputation on Douban. He had heard colleagues talking about it, so today, on their date, he decided to take his girlfriend to see it.

When he learned that the chairman’s wife might be in trouble, Assistant Xue instantly couldn’t remain calm. He directly nodded at his boss’s instructions and mentally noted them down one by one.

After hanging up, his little girlfriend returned, and Assistant Xue looked apologetically at her, "Qianqian, I’m sorry, something happened at the company, so I can’t accompany you to the movies today."

However, upon hearing this, his girlfriend looked at him with a few abnormal glances, and inwardly, an uncontainable anger emerged. She directly said, "If you don’t accompany me to the movie today, we are breaking up."

Assistant Xue, "..." Hearing this, he paused.

Break up...

This was a term he had never thought about before, but now his little girlfriend was going to break up with him.

A sense of helplessness pervaded his heart. His boss had not only raised him, but if it hadn’t been for his boss saving him previously, he wouldn’t even be in this world anymore. Plus, the chairman’s wife treated him not like an outsider but rather very kindly.

Now that the chairman’s wife was in trouble, he couldn’t possibly do nothing and still accompany his girlfriend to see a movie.

Taking up his wallet from the table, Assistant Xue stood up directly, "Then let’s break up. I have things to do. If you want to watch a movie, you can go by yourself or call a friend, and go back early."

After saying this, he left in large strides.

The girl watched Assistant Xue’s departing figure. She remained stunned for a long time and when she finally reacted, Assistant Xue had already gone quite a distance, making her stomp her feet in anger.

Watching Assistant Xue’s figure depart, the girl finally couldn’t help but shout at him, "Xue Mingzhe, who do you think you are? Were it not for your parents’ kindness to my family, I wouldn’t even consider dating someone like you who’s a lifelong assistant... Breaking up is fine, I’ve been wanting to for a while now."

The girl’s words caught the attention of those around them, and people started whispering and pointing at the two.

Assistant Xue paused in his steps, the expression on his face disappearing completely.

Actually, after saying those words, the girl regretted it. When he stopped, she thought her words had an effect, and her regret vanished. She stood there waiting for Assistant Xue to apologize and continue their date, her attitude of a proud young lady surfacing directly.

Assistant Xue turned to look at the girl, with his demeanor indifferent, showing no emotion. All they heard was him saying, "I’m really grateful for your honesty. Our relationship ends here. I will inform my parents that I won’t ask anything of you or your family on behalf of them. Enjoy yourself."

After finishing, not caring what she wanted to say or how she would react, he decisively left.

...

Gu Qing and the others did not stay overnight. After sending them off, Song Qiao only then learned about Xu Qian’s incident.

Song Nianhuan and Lu Wangshu had already been taken upstairs to rest by the helper. Only Song Qiao and Lu Jingchen were left sitting in the living room, Song Qiao’s face slightly pale. "When did this happen?"

"It happened this afternoon, but we only found out not long ago." Lu Jingchen didn’t hide anything from Song Qiao but rather told her truthfully.

Song Qiao’s heart skipped a beat, trying to force herself to calm down, she asked, "Have they found any clues? Is there any sign of where mom might be?"

Lu Jingchen looked at her face. Initially, he didn’t plan to tell her about this because he feared she’d overthink unnecessary things.

But he also knew that with such a big incident, even if he didn’t tell her, she’d definitely blame him for keeping it a secret once she found out.

Directly grabbing her hand, Lu Jingchen squeezed it and spoke, "Assistant Xue is already investigating. We’ve even identified a suspect vehicle. Once the related surveillance footage is reviewed, we might then find mom’s whereabouts. Don’t worry, I’ll go to the traffic police department later. Dad is still there, so you can rest and don’t wait for me."

Song Qiao vehemently shook her head, her tone resolute, "I don’t want that, I want to go with you too. Mom is in trouble, how can I sleep?"

Lu Jingchen paused, gazing at her face, and after a long while, helplessly said, "Qiaoqiao, if you stay by my side, I may become distracted. Be good~ Rest well tonight, wait at home for my good news, who knows, maybe mom will be back tomorrow?"

Xu Qian had left for a trip from the Lu Family Mansion at noon. Originally, she planned to visit Huanhuan directly, but unexpectedly something happened halfway. At the incident location, only Xu Qian’s car was found, and inside, only her phone was left.

Since there was no surveillance on that stretch of road, it was impossible to know what actually happened to Xu Qian at that time.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that Xu Qian got into an accident, and it’s very likely she was kidnapped.

However, until now they haven’t received any call from the kidnappers, which is the most concerning and frightening aspect.

If ordinary kidnappers had taken Xu Qian for money, it would be less worrying, since CK Group doesn’t lack money. But they fear the motive might not be straightforward.
