Mr. Bigshot Is Obsessed with His Hidden-Marriage Wife
Chapter 71: Don’t you have any trust in her at all?

Chapter 71: Chapter 71: Don’t you have any trust in her at all?

Tang Jingyao put down his chopsticks. "Dr. Ye’s hospital had recently selected an outstanding employee, and with Dr. Ye’s capabilities, she definitely should have been the one. However, a colleague of hers, who had connections on the board, tampered with the votes in secret. Dr. Ye lost by just one vote."

Ye Yan hadn’t told him a single word about this.

Was it that she didn’t want to talk about it, or did she think it unnecessary?

Just like with Ye Zhun’s matter, she clearly had better people to ask for help, but she preferred to seek Lin Yihang. Was it because in her heart, Lin Yihang was more trustworthy than him?

Lin Yihang had stayed in her apartment for almost two hours, a single man and a single woman alone in one room, inevitably leading to wild speculations.

That night when he video-called her, Lin Yihang was actually there, and he hadn’t noticed at all.

It was because he trusted her too much that he didn’t think she would hide another man at home.

After Tang Jingyao finished speaking, he noticed Fu Xingzhou’s face grow darker and darker, like the pitch-black sky before a storm, with a sudden drop in air pressure and heavy breathing.

He had always been puzzled about whether Fu Xingzhou was angry because he knew about this incident or because he didn’t know.

Indeed, men in love are so fickle, not at all following the normal human thought process.

"Sir," the bodyguard approached, "you have a call."

"Who?" Fu Xingzhou asked without even looking.

"Meng Tian."

Tang Jingyao’s pupils suddenly shrank, his hand holding the cup until the knuckles turned white.

He knew Meng Tian and Ye Yan were close best friends, both having been college colleagues and still very close.

Fu Xingzhou spoke in a displeased tone, "Don’t answer."

The last time at the hospital, he and Meng Tian had exchanged contact details.

The phone rang again, showing the caller’s persistence.

Tang Jingyao spoke coolly, "Shall I answer it for you?"

He was indeed curious about what that woman, Meng Tian, wanted to do.

"No need." Fu Xingzhou snatched the phone from the bodyguard, somewhat irritated.

As soon as he answered, Meng Tian’s anxious voice rushed through, "Mr. Fu, have you seen Ah Yan? She didn’t go to my house, and her phone is unreachable."

Fu Xingzhou glanced over at the faces across that wanted to watch the drama but pretended to be nonchalant, a slight smirk on his lips, "Miss Meng, you must have dialed the wrong number? If you want to find your best friend, you should look for Lin Yihang."

Ears pricked up among the spectators in the crowd, sensing some juicy gossip.

Meng Tian was startled, "Mr. Fu, I shouldn’t be meddling in your and Ah Yan’s affairs, but it seems like you haven’t shown any intention to resolve the issue up till now."

Fu Xingzhou let out a cold laugh, truly Dr. Ye’s good sister, was she teaching him how to handle his matters?

Quite bold.

He glanced at Tang Jingyao.

Tang Jingyao, caught off-guard by the glance, looked innocent.

Meng Tian, not hearing a response from the other end, felt increasingly uneasy.

Although this man was Ah Yan’s husband, his other identity was Fu Xingzhou. Even in the presence of her own father, Meng Yusheng, respect was compulsory.

Her tone now truly seemed like she was directing a mob boss, which was akin to courting death.

She quietly took a breath, her worry for Ye Yan overcoming her fear of this man.

"Mr. Fu misunderstood Ah Yan because Lin Yihang went to see her that night."

Fu Xingzhou’s eyes narrowed slightly, a chill emanating from them.

"Lin Yihang stayed at Ah Yan’s place for a while to avoid the rain. During that time, his assistant came to deliver dinner, and they just had a meal together. When Ah Yan was young, the Ye Family had wronged Lin Yihang. She has always felt guilty about it, but as for other feelings, there is none at all."

Fu Xingzhou didn’t speak, his eyes deep with inexplicable thoughts.

"Mr. Fu, Ah Yan’s room doesn’t have a camera installed, and she can’t prove her innocence with Lin Yihang. The assistant delivering meals can only prove half of it; the rest depends on your trust in her." Meng Tian seemed to be outdoors, with the sound of the wind faintly audible, "You didn’t listen to her explanation even for a moment before you judged her guilty. That’s what truly saddened her the most. She thought you would trust her. Mr. Fu, do you really not have even that much trust in her?"

"Has she been staying at your place these past few days?" Fu Xingzhou suddenly spoke, his voice low and suppressed.

Meng Tian gave a confirming answer, "Mr. Fu, I’m really worried about Ah Yan right now. It’s raining outside, and there might be thunderstorms. Thunderstorms are what Ah Yan fears the most."

"I understand." Fu Xingzhou hung up the phone and immediately got up, "You guys go ahead and eat, I need to leave."

"Do you need any help?" Tang Jingyao asked quietly.

"No need." Fu Xingzhou left the words behind and departed with his bodyguards.

Outside, the rain was indeed heavy.

"Check the weather."

Fu Xingzhou got into the car, and the bodyguard held the umbrella.

"The weather forecast says it’s moderate rain turning into heavy rain, with possible thunder and lightning."

"Locate Ye Yan’s phone and see where she last appeared."

The bodyguard immediately complied, making several calls.

Soon, there was a response.

Ye Yan’s phone was last located near Dangzai Bridge.

Fu Xingzhou’s brows furrowed tightly, and his voice was somewhat impatient, "Drive faster."

Dangzai Bridge was some distance away from Yuqiao and the Grand Hall. Why would she run there for no reason?

Moreover, Dangzai Bridge was known as a suicide hotspot in Ao City; every year, people jumped from the bridge, their bodies either becoming food for fish or being found unrecognizable some days later.

Fu Xingzhou thought about how Ye Yan had been mistreated at the hospital and the misunderstanding between them. If she had really reached a dead end...

He couldn’t bear to think further.

"Drive even faster."

The bodyguard pressed the accelerator to the floor, and the black luxury car charged through the rain curtain, disappearing into the heavy rain soon after.

"Sir, Dangzai Bridge is just ahead." The car wipers frantically swayed on the windshield as the gloomy sky suddenly unleashed several peals of thunder.

The rumbling sound nearly severed heaven and earth.

The sound fell on Fu Xingzhou’s ears, making his heart tighten repeatedly.

"There seems to be a car over there, like madam’s car."

A lonely white sedan was parked by the bridge, its body furiously washed by the heavy rain.

Fu Xingzhou told the driver to stop the car and ran out immediately.

The bodyguard picked up the umbrella and hurriedly followed from behind.

The car was empty.

Fu Xingzhou anxiously searched for Ye Yan’s figure in the veil of rain. With such heavy rain, why hadn’t she returned to the car?

Or had she...

"Sir, there seems to be someone there." The bodyguard pointed toward the low-lying area at the end of the bridge, where there was a red building, part of the bridge’s structure.

The rain was too heavy, and the figure was too blurry.

Fu Xingzhou strode toward the end of the bridge.

The bodyguard, holding the umbrella, struggled to keep up with his pace.

As Fu Xingzhou drew closer, he could finally see the person curled up there—wearing her favorite lotus-colored trench coat, her hair blown messy by the wind, soaked by the rain, slightly sticking to her scalp.

She looked like a frail and helpless small animal, pitifully adorable, stirring a sense of heartache.
