Chapter 1686: Chapter 684: King Meets King Meets King..._2

When Zhou Wang returned to the country, Cui Min’er didn’t accompany him. After moving to a new home, Cui Min’er also needed some time to rethink family relationships, so Zhou Wang gave her plenty of space.

At this moment, four girls were squeezed into a hotel suite, initially picking out clothes for today’s special occasion. Upon hearing the news, they were somewhat thrown off.

Jiang Mo calmed herself and had to break the silence softly.

"Ranran, and the rest of you, no need to panic yet. Right now, he’s just unreachable, which doesn’t necessarily mean he’s missing... But, if possible, could you please use your connections to help look for him too?"

Although Jiang Mo’s voice wasn’t loud, her calm demeanor instantly quieted the four girls.

"Sure, Senior, we’ll do our best... We’ll come meet you first later, where are you? The background doesn’t look like a hotel or your home?"

When Jiang Mo heard Su Yajing say she was coming to find her, she was a bit startled. She subconsciously glanced at Jiang Qingkui and others nearby but couldn’t find a reason to refuse, so she nodded.

"Alright... I’m at his company, do you know the address?"

"Yes, yes, we didn’t attend the charity gala previously, but we paid attention to these matters. It’s at the International Gold Center, right?"

Su Yajing said immediately.

After Jiang Mo nodded, Su Yajing couldn’t wait and hung up the phone.

Jiang Mo hesitated about whether to mention it to Jiang Qingkui and others, but before she could organize her thoughts, the office door was knocked on again.

At the door, Assistant Chen’s head popped out again.

"Uh, Mr. Jiang, Sister Lin Ran wants to see you, she also..."

Before Chen could finish his sentence "She also brought other guests", Lin Ran, having a bit of familiarity with Jiang Qingkui, couldn’t wait any longer and just walked in.

However, Lin Ran probably didn’t expect there to be three other people in Jiang Qingkui’s office. Before speaking, she already felt numerous gazes upon her, instantly freezing her up.

With a quick glance, Lin Ran understood... She recognized Qi Jiayi, and although she wasn’t familiar with the other two, based on their striking beauty, she knew they likely had ties with Zhou Wang.

Yes, that’s her "stereotype" about her boss.

"Sister Ran, you also can’t reach Mr. Zhou?"

Jiang Qingkui was quite polite to Lin Ran, even though currently Lin Ran has no formal position within the group.

Just the fact that she’s Zhou Wang’s assistant was enough for Jiang Qingkui to show some respect...

Moreover, perhaps another reason was that in Jiang Qingkui’s eyes, Lin Ran was just typically pretty, and since her relationship with Zhou Wang was innocent from the start, it likely would remain so to the end, leaving Jiang Qingkui no reason to target her.

"Also?"

Lin Ran noticed Jiang Qingkui’s wording and glanced at Qi Jiayi and others, already understanding, "So you also can’t reach the boss?"

"Yes, this person is..."

Jiang Qingkui was about to say something when she noticed another woman following behind Lin Ran. She might have been standing outside the door, but upon hearing something she instinctively walked inside.

Sweet and fresh oval face... a bit familiar, but Jiang Qingkui couldn’t instantly recall who she was.

Yet the subtle sense of threat unintentionally made Jiang Qingkui feel a bit displeased.

"Ah, Mr. Jiang, President Qi, I forgot to introduce... This is Hua Suihua, she was an artist I signed during my time at Wuyou Media; she’s like my close friend now. Um, she’s also a friend of the boss, specially coming from Mountain City."

Lin Ran then remembered Hua Suihua following her, hastily introducing her with an awkward yet polite demeanor.

Originally, only Jiang Qingkui was observing this woman in a white sweater and skirt with a girlish vibe. Upon hearing "she’s Zhou Wang’s friend," Qi Jiayi, Jiang Mo, and Ding Yi simultaneously focused their gaze.

Initially, Hua Suisui had built up the courage to speak, but under the ocular pressure of the "four godly beauties," she stammered again.

"H-Hello... I came to find Zhou Wang, but couldn’t reach him, so I asked Sister Ran to bring me here..."

Having a mind freeze, Hua Suisui didn’t know why she was explaining; she simply didn’t know what to say.

Seeing Hua Suisui’s appearance, Qi Jiayi and Ding Yi exchanged glances and simultaneously withdrew their gaze, with Ding Yi even slightly curling his lips... a silly vase, no threat at all.

Jiang Qingkui’s demeanor also relaxed a lot, only nodding out of politeness.

Hua Suisui then quietly tugged Lin Ran’s clothes, Lin Ran understood, and immediately spoke: "Since Mr. Zhou isn’t here, then..."

"Don’t rush to leave, Sister Ran. Finding Zhou Wang might still require your help."

Jiang Qingkui shook her head.

Lin Ran and Hua Suisui saw this and couldn’t insist further, only meekly stepping inside.

"Sister Ran, this morning you were at Tangchen Yipin, right? Did Mr. Zhou... show any unusual behavior?"

Jiang Qingkui asked directly, ignoring Hua Suisui.

"Not really."

Lin Ran recalled and said, "The boss behaved quite normally, even opened some gifts, and then entertained some guests for lunch. Later, he mentioned he had something to do at the company, and after that, I couldn’t reach him. I thought he was busy at the company, so I came straight with Suisui."

Hearing Lin Ran’s account, Jiang Qingkui and Qi Jiayi exchanged glances, nodding slightly.

Now it’s pretty much certain that Zhou Wang’s ’disappearance’ was no accident; the more normal he behaved, the more problematic it seemed.

"Let’s wait a bit longer. I’ve asked the security room to check the surveillance. We need to see if Mr. Zhou left alone, or at least find out which car he took..."

"Once we have the license plate number, leave the rest to me."

Ding Yi added casually, his words full of strong confidence.

Knock knock knock!

Jiang Qingkui was about to speak when a knock sounded again at the office door...

A certain conditioned reflex seemed to form, and this time all the women in the office immediately looked towards the door.

"Um, Mr. Jiang, there are, more guests..."

"Also looking for Mr. Zhou?"

Jiang Qingkui’s expression remained composed this time.

Assistant Chen nodded.

"Women?"

Chen nodded again.

"More than one?"

Chen kept nodding.

"Got it, bring them in... Also, no need to announce anymore, just stay at the front desk. No matter how many come today, just let them walk in directly; my office door won’t close today."

Jiang Qingkui exhaled, her tone slightly teasing.

Initially, when Ding Yi and Jiang Mo arrived, Jiang Qingkui felt disgruntled, a sense of her "territory getting invaded."

But now, she felt a bit desensitized.

Chen nodded vigorously like a chicken pecking grains and then left. Soon, the open office door led to two women walking in one after the other.

"Ningning?"

Qi Jiayi stood up in surprise, looking at Sun Xining Ningning, who was shuffling inside, "When did you come from Hong Kong Island? Why didn’t you let me know beforehand? Also, who is this beside you?"

Currently interning with Qi Jiayi, Sun Xining Ningning’s smile looked a bit awkward, "I only landed this morning, hadn’t had the chance to call you... um, she’s called Lisa, also a friend of Zhou Wang."

The women in the room, upon hearing another "friend of Zhou Wang," showed no obvious reaction, clearly numb already.

However, Jiang Qingkui, who thought she could face this calmly, felt a bit irked again, for a simple reason...

These two women, weren’t in the records!
