Chapter 373:1 Couldn’t Sleep Because I Was Worried About You

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

It was an overcast night. The moon couldn’t be seen and there were very few stars in the sky. However, the lights in the office were bright and Mi Qing’s panicked eyes were clearly visible.

She had nowhere to run and said that she didn’t know where Song Zhou was.

“He disappeared after our engagement ceremony the night before last. How would I know where he is?”

“Disappeared?”

Ji Yi thought about her response and said with a smile, “Madam Mi Qing, it seems like you don’t value your life. We can take our time to find Song Zhou, but if you make me unhappy, I’ll kill you immediately!”

“Don’t, don’t. I really don’t know where he is. It was, it was Jack who hid him.”

“You and your boyfriend, Jack, are not broken up?” Jiang Jingchen asked.

Mi Qing hung her head in silence.

Jiang Jingchen continued calmly, “You came in a hurry to find Song Zhou because you found out that he has a girlfriend. You wanted to keep him, so you hired someone to follow him. To separate him and his girlfriend, you found Ruan Qi’s mother and told her things so that she would stop Ruan Qi from being with Song Zhou.”

Mi Qing was shocked. “How… How do you know these things?”

Jiang Jingchen sneered disdainfully. “You weren’t subtle about it.”

Jiang Jingchen suspected that someone was following him, so he deliberately went out on a date with Tang Beibei and found out that no one was following him.

However, the next day, when he was out with Song Zhou, someone followed him again.

It was obvious that people following them were after Song Zhou.

Song Zhou was his assistant, and he kept a low profile. The only person who might have a beef with him was Mi Qing.

As for Ruan Qi’s mother, she only cared about her youngest son since she married her current husband and practically ignored Ruan Qi. It was very unusual for her to suddenly come looking for Ruan Qi and even ask her to break up with Song Zhou.

Unfortunately, Ruan Qi was no pushover. She was not someone who could be easily manipulated. She simply ignored her mother.

Mi Qing had to find another way to keep Song Zhou.

For years, Song Zhou had treated her like a sister. He would fulfil almost her every wish.

She found an excuse to trick Song Zhou into leaving the country, and then played some dirty trick to make him lose consciousness.

For years, Jiang Jingchen had never once failed to contact Song Zhou. His disappearance was no accident. It had been carefully planned.

“Call Jack now and ask him to hand over Song Zhou. Then, I’ll spare your life.”

Mi Qing glared at Jiang Jingchen. She only realized at this moment that the man before her had a terrifying sense of authority.

Trembling, she took out her phone and called Jack to ask him where Song Zhou was.

But Jack’s phone was switched off.

Mi Qing refused to give up and tried again. But no matter how many times she tried, she couldn’t get through.

Had Jack abandoned her?

Mi Qing felt despair.

Jiang Jingchen frowned. “Where does your boyfriend live? Do you have any information?”

“Jack is an old friend of mine. His parents are dead. He lives with me and works as a personal trainer.”

Ji Yi sneered. “So, he’s a freeloader. Which gym does he work at?”

Mi Qing felt that things were getting out of hand and quickly told them the name of the gym.

Before she met Song Zhou, she and Jack had a puppy crush on each other. When they met again, they quickly fell in love.

But Mi Qing knew in her heart that there was no future between her and Jack. She was just fooling around.

She told Song Zhou about Jack because she had had a few boyfriends before and had occasionally mentioned them to Song Zhou. Song Zhou had never interfered in her love life.

When she told Jack about Song Zhou this time, Jack also felt that she wanted to be with Song Zhou, so he helped her trick Song Zhou into coming over and holding an engagement ceremony.

Of course, the engagement ceremony was not between her and Jack, but between her and Song Zhou.

Ji Yi went to the gym, but he couldn’t find Jack. He tried to find more information but the person in charge of the gym didn’t know much about Jack’s personal life.

Therefore, it was a little difficult to track down Jack now.

Jiang Jingchen looked at Mi Qing and asked coldly, “Do you have a photo of Jack?”

“Yes.”

Mi Qing unlocked her phone and tried to find Jack’s photo, but she couldn’t find any.

“How can there be no photos? I’ve taken photos with him before.” Mi Qing panicked.

Ji Yi snatched her phone away and chuckled.

“You’ve been deceived, you idiot!”

Jack had already deleted all his personal information from her phone. It was his premeditated plan to kidnap Song Zhou.

Mi Qing was after Song Zhou’s money, so, Jack was probably after him for money as well.

Ji Yi turned on his laptop, plugged in Mi Qing’s phone and started a system search.

Her phone had its own storage system, so any deleted photos could still be found as long as the phone hadn’t been reformatted.

Ji Yi rummaged through her phone and saw many selfies of Mi Qing, as well as unsightly photos of her and Jack in bed. He felt disgusted.

He took a screenshot and entered Jack’s particulars into the system to search. Soon, he found information about him.

He sent Jack’s information to the others and updated Jiang Jingchen, “We can only wait now. We must find Jack before we can find Song Zhou.”

Jiang Jingchen nodded and looked at Mi Qing. “Tell me, how did you and Jack knock Song Zhou out?”

Mi Qing hung her head, afraid to speak.

Ji Yi walked up to Mi Qing and strangled her neck as he warned, “Mr. Chen asked you a question. Are you not answering because you wish to be mute? I can fulfill your wish!”

Mi Qing’s manager and CEO John saw Mi Qing’s face turn green, and her eyes red. They wanted to beg for Mi Qing.

But they didn’t dare to say anything for fear of getting into trouble themselves. They just retreated in fear.

Mi Qing felt suffocated again and begged for mercy. “I didn’t want to cancel our engagement so I tricked him here, and told him that he was accompanying me to attend Jack’s engagement ceremony, but the ceremony was actually prepared for me and him.”

Ji Yi was doubtful. “And Song Zhou agreed to be engaged to you?”

“He, he didn’t agree. The engagement ceremony didn’t go well. We just took a few photos and released information to the public so as to pressure Song Zhou with public opinions and to force Ruan Qi to back off.”

“Jack said that he can make Song Zhou agree to the engagement. He then knocked Song Zhou out and took him away.”

Jiang Jingchen had long known that Mi Qing was not a good person and that she was full of malicious schemes.

In fact, with Song Zhou’s soft-heartedness and his gratitude to Mi Qing for saving his life, he would give her the best even if they weren’t husband and wife. He would make sure that she had a smooth-sailing career and a good life.

Like a seed that never thanked the soil, she was always up to no good.

Jiang Jingchen didn’t want to waste any more time with Mi Qing, so he instructed Ji Yi, “Lock her up. We’ll deal with her and Jack together when we find Jack!”

“Yes, Mr. Chen.” Ji Yi replied respectfully.

He then raised his arm and struck the back of Mi Qing’s neck, knocking her out.

Mi Qing’s manager and John were shocked again. They looked at Ji Yi with fear in their eyes.

Ji Yi said to them, “About us locking Mi Qing up… You’d better keep your mouths shut, or…”

“We don’t know anything.” Mi Qing’s manager and John said in unison.

“Mi Qing kidnapped your chairman. You should know what to do.” Ji Yi sneered and ran after Jiang Jingchen.

Jiang Jingchen returned to the hotel. As soon as he opened the door to his room, his little woman rushed into his arms. He was stunned for a few seconds.

He closed the door, hugged her tightly, and lowered his head to rub against her cheek.

“Why aren’t you asleep yet?”

“I couldn’t sleep because I was worried about you.”

The little woman sounded aggrieved as she snuggled into his arms again.

When she closed her eyes, she would think about Jiang Jingchen going missing too. She couldn’t find him anywhere, and fear enveloped her.

Every minute and every second that passed without seeing him was torturous.

Jiang Jingchen patted the back of her head. “I’m here now. Stop worrying.”

“Have you found Song Zhou yet?”

“There’s no hurry. We’ll know more tomorrow or the day after.”

Jiang Jingchen carried her to the bedroom, put her down in bed and patted her back. “Go to sleep. I’ll take a shower and come back to you.”

Tang Beibei grabbed his hand, unwilling to let go.

Jiang Jingchen couldn’t refuse her rare coquettishness, so he kissed her gently as he whispered, “You don’t want to part with me?”
