Chapter 556: 425 Xiaofeng Missing

The requirement was to make Su Xiaofeng disappear.

Any method would do as long as it made her vanish without any trace or detection by anyone.

For them, this wasn’t an issue at all.

This was Tianma City, somewhat distant from Provincial City, and not very accessible. Su Xiaofeng was just a manager at a food factory; if anything happened to her here, it wouldn’t cause any waves at all.

"Ms. Su, I really didn’t expect that someone as young as you has already become so successful. It really makes us men feel inferior and ashamed," Mr. Wang raised his glass and stood up, "This time, we owe it to Ms. Su for personally handling the matter and saving our reputation. Here, this drink is for you, and we believe that under the leadership of such a beautiful lady boss, Lihua Factory will prosper even more and we can all earn a bit more."

Mr. Wang had initially thought Xiaofeng was just a woman and wouldn’t handle such matters well, but she dealt with them as if they were nothing major. Since she came, those people hadn’t even caused a ripple.

If there’s money for compensation, who would think about causing trouble?

Xiaofeng stood up, holding her glass, "The future of Lihua Factory still requires hard work from all of us. I drink this in honor of everyone; I’ll drink first."

With one drink, Xiaofeng showed her bold spirit.

Everyone watched Xiaofeng’s gutsy display, somewhat unaccustomed to it.

From their perspective, women were always hesitant about drinking, so Xiaofeng’s straightforwardness was somewhat unusual for them.

Xiaofeng wasn’t actually drinking; she couldn’t handle her liquor. Last time she had a bit, she ended up forcing herself on Ye Cheng, and now that Ye Cheng wasn’t around, she dared not touch alcohol.

Luckily, she had her ways; although it looked like she was drinking, it all went into her special space.

This even gave her an innate ability to act tough, pretending to hold her liquor without issue.

"Ms. Su is really straightforward." Watching Xiaofeng drink so freely, the others quickly finished their own glasses; they couldn’t appear less bold than a woman.

After a drink, the group began to eat and chat.

Xiaofeng got up to go to the restroom.

When Xiaofeng left the restroom, she thought she saw her older brother’s figure. She saw her brother being pushed on the arm, heading towards the back door.

Xiaofeng narrowed her eyes and hurried after them.

By the time she reached the back door, her brother’s figure was gone. Hearing a noise behind her, she slowly turned around to see a man with a cigarette standing in front of her.

"Beauty, are you looking for someone? If you want to find someone, just come with me, I can take you to him."

"Who are you?" the man spoke with a local accent, not seeming like an outsider.

"Just come with me, who I am doesn’t matter. Or maybe you don’t care whether the other person is dead or alive," the smoking man looked at Xiaofeng, his narrow eyes shining bright.

"Where to," Xiaofeng was very calm.

The stranger gestured and someone came over, put a hood over Xiaofeng’s head, and led her away.

Xiaonian, seeing her sister hadn’t returned for a while, grew anxious and said to Xiaoyan, "Brother, do you think sister has been gone too long to just be at the restroom? I’ll go check."

Xiaoyan stood up, "I’ll come with you."

They were unfamiliar with the area, and with Xiaonian being rather rash, he obviously had to accompany her.

"You’re really annoying, I’m just checking if sister is in the restroom. Why are you so worried? Let me tell you, don’t think just because you’re a few minutes older you can boss me around."

"Enough talk, I feel this place is a bit dangerous. Why do you think I would bother otherwise?" Xiaoyan was too lazy to argue further, "Come on, let’s go check on sister."

Xiaonian thought it over and agreed, now prioritizing her sister’s safety over arguing with Xiaoyan. They excused themselves to the other bosses, saying they were stepping out for some fresh air, and left.

"Mr. Wang, these three siblings really have good looks, they don’t seem like they’re from a small place," one of the bosses, slightly drunk, began to slur his words.

"What does it matter where they’re from? Let me tell you, from my experience, these three aren’t to be messed with. Don’t think because they’re young, you can bully them," Mr. Wang probably had some understanding that Su Xiaofeng and her siblings, once they left, might not come back.

He had arranged for tonight’s dinner reluctantly.

Those people had said if he didn’t cooperate, they would target his family. It was a forced move, and he could only hope that divine favor looked after the three siblings, hoping nothing bad would happen.

"Mr. Wang, what’s wrong with you? You don’t look very well, did you drink too much? I remember your tolerance isn’t that bad. Mr. Wang, tell us, are you intoxicated by something other than the alcohol?"

Since all were big men together, they naturally said whatever came to their minds.

Add to that a few drinks, and their spree of risqué jokes became even more unrestrained.

"Old Li, save some virtue in your speech. She could be my daughter age-wise. Moreover, reaching her current position surely wasn’t just luck; she certainly has capabilities. You guys should extinguish those thoughts and aim to cooperate well in the future."

"We were just talking casually; we’re not those thugs who would actually harm the girl."

"Right, another one looks just like a student; their parents too, letting out three unruly kids, is quite trusting."

"If I had two daughters as beautiful as them, I definitely would not be at ease."

"Exactly, exactly, that family’s parents are also grown up."

...

Xiaonian and Xiaoyan waited in the restroom for a while but didn’t see Xiaofeng.

Xiaonian grew anxious, "Brother, do you think something might have happened to Sister? Since Su Peng arrived here, he disappeared, and now Sister is missing too. Brother, there must be something wrong with this place. We need to call the police right away and let our parents know about the situation here."

Just the time to use the restroom, where could she have gone?

His sister wasn’t the type to act without sense; if there really was an emergency, (she) surely would have returned to tell them.

Xiaoyan’s brows furrowed, his face showing a rare steadiness for a youth: "Let’s look around here first and decide based on what we observe. If we see anything suspicious, we’ll call the police."

The two held hands and decided to search downstairs.

In the stairwell on the first floor, suddenly someone emerged from the shadows, holding a long stick. Xiaoyan turned and with a long kick, dislodged the stick from the stranger’s hand.

The attacker, not expecting the youth to be so skilled, threw the stick and fled.

Xiaonian wanted to chase, but Xiaoyan stopped her: "We can almost be sure that Sister might be in trouble. Let’s go make a call."

Xiaoyan and Xiaonian went directly to the police station. After revealing their identities, the local police did not dare to delay and immediately started to search for Su Xiaofeng and Su Peng.

Quan Sifang’s face turned grave when he received the news.

Chu Qing was beside herself with worry: "Who could be so wicked to target Xiaofeng? She had finally come back to us, nothing must happen to her."

Tears welled up in Chu Qing’s eyes as she spoke, silently lamenting the twists in Xiaofeng’s fate. She had barely returned to her side when such an incident occurred.

"Look at you, what could happen? Maybe it was some opportunist. I’ve already contacted the local person in charge to ask for their cooperation in the search. Don’t worry, she’ll be fine," Quan Sifang felt uneasy as well.

Among all three children, they owed Xiaofeng the most.

Now that Xiaofeng was in trouble, they naturally had to try their utmost to find her.

"No, I must go there," Chu Qing said as she went upstairs to pack her bags: "Have someone book me a flight ticket; I need to go there."

"From here to Tianma, it’s about a hundred and eighty thousand miles; even if we left now, we would only arrive the next day. I know you’re worried, and so am I, but you have to trust the kids and trust Xiaofeng, she won’t come to harm. Tianma doesn’t have an airport and is a bit remote. By the time we get there, it would already be the next day."

"Then you must ensure they find Xiaofeng as soon as possible. If anything short of good happens to Xiaofeng, how can I face her?"

...

Xiaofeng was blindfolded and brought to a secluded house.

Then, she felt herself being tied to a post, unable to move.

A shadow stood before her, clicking his tongue non-stop at her slender figure: "Truly a beauty, a feast for the eyes."

Xiaofeng couldn’t see the person’s face but could hear his voice.

"Who are you?" Xiaofeng gently asked.

"Who I am," the person chuckled: "You don’t need to know that. All you need to know is that you should not have been born into this world, so someone wants you removed, that’s enough."

"So, someone wants me dead?" She couldn’t recall having offended anyone to the extent of wishing her dead, which was really surprising.

"Someone paid a high price for your life, naturally, I’d assist, don’t you think? Since you’re going to die anyway, why not come with me? Maybe if I’m in a good mood, I might even let you go." The man said as he stepped forward, gripping Xiaofeng’s chin, attempting to lift her veil to see the face underneath.
