Huang Chao was on the brink of insanity.
While monitoring online public opinions, he was frantically searching everywhere for him.
Despite the traffic accident and potential damage to reputation, the most important thing was to ensure his safety. Otherwise, following the incidents of Zheng Qing and Liang Yanran, the entertainment circle was about to face another major scandal.
Out of desperation, all Huang Chao could do was call the police. Nothing else mattered now; Qu Feitai’s safety was the utmost priority.
At one in the morning, the police department responded. They had found his car at an intersection; it appeared to have rear-ended another vehicle. Strangely, the scene only had an empty car; Qu Feitai had vanished. The intersection’s surveillance was out due to a power outage triggered by the heavy rain, hindering the police from tracking Qu Feitai’s whereabouts through the footage.
The news chilled Huang Chao to the core.
He had heard about the formidable powers in Jiangzhou. He couldn’t possibly have been kidnapped, could he?
Ridden with panic and not knowing anyone else in Jiangzhou, Huang Chao had no other choice but to call Manager Zhang.
Upon hearing that Qu Feitai had disappeared after a car accident, Zhang Fushan was taken aback. He ended the call and hurriedly dialed another number.
“Hello, is this the secretary of Young Master Qu? This is Zhang Fushan, the CEO of the record company signed with Young Master Qu. You’ve been in touch with me before, remember?”
“It’s you, what’s so urgent that you call in the middle of the night?” The person on the other end must have been woken up from their sleep, and their tone was filled with evident annoyance.
Zhang Fushan quickly said, “There is terrible news. Young Master Qu is in trouble.”
The voice on the other end rose radically, “What?”
Zhang Fushan stuttered, “It happened like this. Young Master Qu held a concert in Jiangzhou tonight. After the concert ended, it was raining heavily. He drove off alone, and later on, he called his manager and said that he had rear-ended a car, then hung up. The manager tried to call back but his phone was turned off. The police were called, and they found the damaged car, but Young Master Qu himself was nowhere to be found. The surveillance at the intersection was also broken due to the heavy rain. Considering Young Master Qu’s safety, I felt it necessary to inform you.”
The person on the other end said in a deep voice, “I understand,” and then they hung up the phone.
Zhang Fushan pursed his lips displeasedly. Anyway, he had passed on the message. If Qu Feitai ended up in any trouble, it wouldn’t be his problem.
With sleep now a distant thought, the secretary promptly called the first contact on his list. Considering the gravity of Young Master Qu’s safety, if Eldest Young Master Qu found out that he had withheld information, he was in for serious consequences.
Sure enough, upon hearing the news of Qu Feitai’s car accident and subsequent disappearance, the contact immediately instructed him to liaise with the
Jiangzhou Police Department. They had to locate Qu Feitai as soon as possible. Given Qu Feitai’s influence, they ought to keep the information confidential and have the police proceed discreetly with the investigation. Should his identity leak, it would only add to the already complicated situation.
At the same time, a sleeping Jiang Chunlan received a phone call.
After hanging up, Jiang Chunlan rushed out of her bed, throwing on a robe.
The Young Master of the Qus — the very star who had held a concert in
Jiangzhou that night — Qu Feitai, had gone missing after a car accident.
Regardless of which aspect you looked at it from, this was no minor affair.
Jiangzhou was not under the Qus’ dominion. As the saying goes, even a dragon would not overpower a local serpent. If Qu Feitai had provoked some unknown force, the Qus, despite their power, would be helpless at such a distance.
Eldest Young Master of the Qus had approached her regarding this matter, and she felt responsible for getting involved.
Jiang Chunlan quickly made a few phone calls, clearly explaining the situation, and then waited quietly for the results.
At the same time, the lights were brightly lit at the Rans’ Mansion.
Lin Feng rushed into the living room, “Master Xiao, we’ve looked into it. It’s all that girl from the Zhu family who stirred things up.”
Ran Tengxiao raised an eyebrow, “Zhu Mingjing?”
“Yes, she has a good relationship with Madam Jiang. Madam Jiang invited her over to evaluate a piece of jewelry, and she immediately asserted it was a fake in front of everyone. Both Madam Shen and Mrs. Gu were present.”
“She figured it out at a glance? Does she have a golden eye?” Ran Tengxiao sniffed disdainfully.
“If it wasn’t for Jiang Chunlan setting up this scheme, there must be something
off about this Zhu Mingjing.”
Ran Tengxiao squinted his eyes, “After what happened with Ahn Jihyun last time, Jiang Chunlan finally couldn’t hold back.”
“But it doesn’t make sense.” Lin Feng frowned, “No one knew the genuine article was with Master Wen, Jiang Chunlan should not have known it in advance.”
Ran Tengxiao sneered, “Then the problem lies with Zhu Mingjing. Something is always fishy about this girl. Since she returned to Jiangzhou, in these mere three months, she’s done things that seem to be without pattern. At times, it appears like she is paving the way for herself. This girl is quite ambitious..”
