Chapter 242: 0240 The Unease of the Women

Ye Qiu didn’t come home all night, and at first, Shangguan Hong wasn’t worried. But then three days passed, and there was still no sign of Ye Qiu, Shangguan Hong began to panic. He called Shen Mengchen, only to find out Ye Qiu wasn’t with her either.

Shen Mengchen couldn’t sit still anymore. She had been so busy at work these past two days that she had been living at the office, practically killing herself with work. But when Shangguan Hong called, at first, she joked that Ye Qiu, the big flirt, might have been kept by some beauty in a golden house. But when she heard that he had been missing for three days, she immediately rushed back to the Goddess Villa.

At this moment, Shangguan Hong, Shangguan Mingyue, and Niu Yinyin were sitting on the sofa, the room felt somewhat oppressive.

Shen Mengchen said angrily, "Damn Ye Qiu, not even a word about where he’s gone. Just disappearing for three days without a sound, making us worry."

Shangguan Hong said, "Mengchen, please contact the girls Ye Qiu has been in touch with, see if he’s with them."

Upon hearing this, Shen Mengchen immediately contacted Chu Yao, but ended up disappointed and hung up the phone. Then, she called Lan Bing. Still, there was no news of Ye Qiu. However, there was one piece of information worth noting—Lan Bing told her that Ye Qiu seemed to have gone to right some wrongs for Chu Yao.

After hearing this and hanging up the phone, Shen Mengchen couldn’t help but get frustrated, saying, "Hmph, I knew it. He must have disappeared because of a woman."

Shangguan Mingyue, being the oldest and most stable among the three, asked, "Did they say anything else?"

"According to Lan Bing, Ye Qiu went to take someone on for Chu Yao. But considering his skills, it’s impossible that he hasn’t come back yet," Shen Mengchen said.

Shangguan Mingyue considered Shen Mengchen’s words carefully and concluded, "Ye Qiu must have encountered something else while dealing with this issue; otherwise, he wouldn’t have failed to return."

"Hmph, acting as my bodyguard, yet not here to protect me but meddling in others’ business instead. When he comes back, I will halve his bodyguard salary and see what he has to say." Shen Mengchen was clearly unsatisfied with Ye Qiu’s sudden disappearance, but one could still see the worry about Ye Qiu’s safety in her eyes, despite her harsh words.

"Don’t worry. Ye Qiu is highly skilled; he should be fine. If he hasn’t come back yet, he must have been held up by something else. I will mobilize our family’s resources to try and find him," said Shangguan Mingyue, her words serving as a reassurance to everyone so they wouldn’t worry too much.

"If we really can’t find big brother, we can first report it to the police, right? Let the police uncle also help us look," Niu Yinyin suddenly chimed in. The others felt that it wasn’t a bad idea, although not very hopeful, it was still better than doing nothing.

Meanwhile, Shen Mengchen also decided to use her resources to try and find Ye Qiu.

In the blink of an eye, another day passed, and the atmosphere in the Goddess Villa was still very stifling.

Shen Mengchen went to the company to handle some matters before rushing back to wait for news from Shangguan Mingyue, who had already mobilized the Shangguan family’s resources to inquire about Ye Qiu’s situation.

Shangguan Hong spent her day sitting on the sofa. Although she was holding a book, she hadn’t turned a page for half a day.

Just as everyone was sitting on the sofa, Niu Yinyin ran back from outside and said, "Sister Mengchen, Sister Shangguan, these past few days, I noticed many strange people appearing around our villa."

Without Niu Yinyin mentioning it, both Shangguan Hong and Shen Mengchen hadn’t noticed. But thinking carefully, they too had seen several unfamiliar faces lingering around the villa area, occasionally glancing over here. Could they be police? But they didn’t quite look like it, which was odd.

It wasn’t long before Shangguan Mingyue returned to the Goddess Villa.

She sat on the sofa, her expression neither shocked nor joyful, and said to the others, "I’ve got some news about Ye Qiu."

As soon as Guan Mingyue opened her mouth, Shangguan Hong and Shen Mengchen perked up their ears. Was there really news?

Under the gaze of the three women, Shangguan Mingyue said, "Although I found out some news about Ye Qiu, it’s not good news."

"Aunt Mingyue, please tell us quickly." Shen Mengchen was somewhat impatient to know Ye Qiu’s whereabouts.

Shangguan Mingyue’s expression was solemn. Shangguan Hong clenched her palm nervously. She couldn’t help but feel an urgent desire to know. They waited for Shangguan Mingyue to speak. She said only, "I found out that Ye Qiu’s news involves a Japanese man. He had a conflict with the Japanese, and then a mysterious figure appeared and took him away."

"Mysterious figure?" Upon hearing this term, all three women looked perplexed. Who was this mysterious figure, and why would he take Ye Qiu away?

"Don’t look at me. I also want to know the identity of the mysterious figure. Unfortunately, no one knows who he really is; Ye Qiu vanished without a trace after he was taken."

Ye Qiu’s news was something that Shangguan Mingyue had learned from Shangguan Dao, who was also a person in the martial arts world. He had heard the recent discussions in the martial arts community about Ye Qiu.

The man he had once looked down upon was taken away by someone with an extremely high skill level, and this news was no longer a secret in the martial arts community. Shangguan Dao was also shocked by Ye Qiu’s encounter with Fujikawa Ueno and others.

Although he did not know how powerful Fujikawa Ueno truly was, based on the martial artists he had killed, most of them were not Shangguan Dao’s match, and although he was reluctant to admit it, he knew deep inside that Ye Qiu’s skills were far superior to his own, and at the moment, Ye Qiu’s fame in the martial world was also significantly greater than his.

Shangguan Dao was considered just a somewhat famous youngster in the southern martial arts community, while Ye Qiu had already been classified as a contender capable of fighting with the top ten experts.

Little did Shangguan Dao know that in order to make a name for himself at the upcoming martial arts conference, he had been training hard. However, his intense training still paled in comparison to Ye Qiu’s current achievements.

The gap between the two men had long since become vast, and Ye Qiu was no longer the unknown young soldier he had met on a sickbed.

The top ten experts! These two words carried a weight as heavy as Mount Tai in Shangguan Dao’s heart, and Ye Qiu had already reached the summit, about to claim the top position.

The women were all silent upon hearing this news. It seemed difficult to find Ye Qiu now.

Because no one knew where the mysterious figure had taken Ye Qiu.

Just as the women were worried about Ye Qiu’s safety, he was captured by the mysterious figure and taken to a large mountain.

Looking around at the pitch-black humid cave, Ye Qiu could only endure the surrounding environment and the rats occasionally scurrying past him.

Ye Qiu couldn’t fathom why the mysterious man had brought him here.

Since capturing him, the mysterious figure had restricted his movements and left him in this cave.

As for the mysterious figure’s intentions, perhaps only the mysterious figure and God knew!
