Chapter 1002: Chapter 999: Wait for Him to Come Back Safely

"Senior brother, can I sit in Yan Bo’s office for a while?"

Tong Xiaohua automatically ignored Di Xu’s question and pointed towards the office.

After eyeing her for a few moments, Di Xu said, "Of course you can!"

Yan Bo hadn’t been there for several days, and Di Xu had locked his office directly.

He took out the key to unlock the door, entered the office with Tong Xiaohua, closed the door behind them, and asked in a low voice, "Still no news from the boss?"

Tong Xiaohua shook her head, "No..." Her scrutinizing gaze seriously swept over every corner.

At first, she had thought Yan Bo’s disappearance was just accidental, maybe after a day or two, he would suddenly appear in front of her.

But now, with Yan Bo having been missing for a week, she couldn’t help but suspect that this was a premeditated scheme.

Although the likelihood of finding a clue in his office was slim, she was desperate enough to grasp at straws—she didn’t want to miss even the slightest possibility.

"Uncle Du, at Beijing First Hospital, do you know any doctors who work there?"

Tong Xiaohua suddenly remembered something. She had always believed Yan Bo’s mother was truly ill, but if everything was premeditated, could it be that Yan Bo’s mother’s illness was also fabricated?

Uncle Du took a moment to respond, "First People’s Hospital? I do know some, what about it?"

Tong Xiaohua sat down at Yan Bo’s office desk and began to meticulously sort through every item on it.

"Yan Bo’s mother is quite sick, and I’m a bit worried. I would like to trouble you to inquire about her current condition."

Of course, Tong Xiaohua wouldn’t voice her suspicions.

One reason was because Di Xu was present.

Another was, before confirming her conjectures, she genuinely worried about Yan Bo’s mother’s health.

"Alright, I’ll ask around for you, but with the special status of the third young master’s family, it might not be easy to get information."

Uncle Du took the phone and walked to the window. Meanwhile, Tong Xiaohua asked Di Xu about the situation at Yanhuang these past few days.

"The work schedule for this week had already been arranged by the boss himself, and for now, everything seems calm. However, if the boss doesn’t return by next week, we might have some trouble."

Di Xu said that Tong Xiaohua had lost weight, and he himself had also slimmed down significantly that week.

Yanhuang was a highly efficient company where everyone had a hefty workload. As the special assistant, his work required even more attention than others, and this week he had also taken on Yan Bo’s responsibilities. You can imagine the heavy burden on his shoulders and the immense pressure he carried.

"Senior shi, could you try to recall again, didn’t he say anything unusual before he returned to Capital City, or show any strange behavior?"

Tong Xiaohua was not adept at deducing, but she strove to find any trace of evidence in Yan Bo’s actions before he left.

Di Xu made an effort to remember, and finally, facing Tong Xiaohua’s earnest gaze, he shook his head.

He had never felt such guilt simply by shaking his head.

"Junior sister, I’m sorry, I’m not much help."

Di Xu felt compassion, heartache, and immense respect for his junior sister.

"Senior brother, don’t say that. You’ve managed Yanhuang so well, that’s the biggest help already!"

As they spoke, Uncle Du returned.

Tong Xiaohua and Di Xu both looked up at him expectantly, only to see him spread his hands in a helpless gesture.

"Xiao Hua, sorry, they said it was not convenient to disclose. However, I tried to probe a bit, and from their reaction, it seems that Mrs. Yan’s illness is real, and she’s quite sick," he said.

Tong Xiaohua spent nearly an hour at Yanhuang and didn’t find any suspicious clues. Not wanting to disturb Di Xu’s work, she didn’t stay long.

As she stood up to take her leave, Di Xu asked her if she would like to have lunch together, but Tong Xiaohua hesitated for a moment and ultimately declined his kind offer.

"No, thanks, senior brother, you must have endless things to take care of; we’ll treat you to a big meal when Yan Bo returns."

Di Xu escorted Tong Xiaohua to the elevator entrance, "Little junior sister, take good care of yourself. With you looking like this, the boss is going to be heartbroken when he comes back!"

Tong Xiaohua nodded her head, "Don’t worry, I’ll wait for his return in good health."

Right after Tong Xiaohua’s fever had subsided, Uncle Du insisted on not letting her go anywhere else, driving directly back to the Tong family home.

It was just in time for the lunch hour when Uncle Yuan, following Uncle Du’s instructions, brought some porridge and snacks to the table.

Tong Xiaohua casually ate a bowl of porridge, then set down the bowl and said, "I’m full, you guys eat slowly," and headed straight back to her bedroom.

Uncle Du and Uncle Yuan watched her desolate figure leaving and exchanged a helpless look before sighing in unison.

Forced to rest at home, Tong Xiaohua’s mind was filled with thoughts of Yan Bo—how could she possibly sleep?

She took out her phone and sent several messages to Yan Bo, after which, she called Tao Jia to inquire about the latest news.

The responses from Tao Jia confirmed the tentative information from Uncle Du.

"Aunt Qing is still in the hospital; she’s quite ill. I went to see her the moment I got off the plane yesterday, and seeing that she wasn’t in good spirits, I didn’t have the heart to ask about Yan Bo. I asked my dad, and he just scolded me, saying, ’Don’t meddle in other people’s business.’ Xiaohua, I think, Yan Bo was probably tricked by his dad into going somewhere else for some reason."

Tao Jia is someone who rarely uses her brain, but her guess coincided with Tong Xiaohua’s initial speculation.

"I got it, thank you, Jiajia."

"Thank me for what? I’m your sister, and it’s my responsibility to keep an eye on your husband."

Even at this time, Tao Jia didn’t forget to take advantage of Tong Xiaohua.

Tong Xiaohua smiled, "Alright then, I’ll take you up on that, Sister. I’m going to hang up now."

After ending the call, Tong Xiaohua propped her hands behind her head and stared blankly at the ceiling.

In these past few days, aside from those two days she was dizzy from the fever, most of her time had been spent making all sorts of phone calls in an attempt to locate Yan Bo, but none of these calls got any news of him.

The reason, was simply because the overlap between Yan Bo’s social circle and hers was too small.

Apart from Tao Jia and Di Xu, she knew almost nothing about Yan Bo’s friends and social circle.

This was inevitable, as her background had already determined that her intersection with him could only be so small.

Sometimes she thought about it, the opposition from Yan Bo’s parents really wasn’t unreasonable.

She and Yan Bo were completely from different worlds.

Yet fate worked in mysterious ways; despite being from two different worlds, it let them have that small intersection.

That little intersection must be their shared destiny, right?

It seems that this tiny bit of destiny had already exhausted all her luck.

So, once her luck ran out, her ordeals with him began.

"Ah!!!!"

Tong Xiaohua suddenly screamed aloud—if she didn’t scream, she felt she might go mad!

Her scream caused a commotion outside.

"Xiao Hua, open the door quickly! What happened?" Outside the door were Uncle Du and Uncle Yuan, their voices overlapped with concern.
