Chapter 138 Finding People
Just having a little fun?
Miss Dong's frivolous words displeased me greatly. Does she think that we, who grew up in wealthy families, are nothing more than animals in her eyes?
Is he only good enough to amuse her when she's bored?
Anger burned within me, and I couldn't control it, so I couldn't help but confront Ms. Dong.
"Miss Dong, Lin Qiuran is a human being, not some beast, someone you can tease and play with!"
"You don't think you can do whatever you want just because you've been trained for a while, do you?"
Perhaps I hit a nerve, or perhaps my words embarrassed her.
Ms. Dong's expression immediately changed, and she retorted, "That's not what I meant, I just..."
I didn't want to listen to her anymore, so I interrupted her.
"I remember Miss Dong should have been engaged to the Fang family a long time ago. What do you mean by provoking Lin Qiuran now?"
Before coming to see Miss Dong, I had already asked someone to investigate some things about the Dong family.
Hopefully, I can find some leverage or something to make things easier when I meet with Ms. Dong later. Having some bargaining power will make things much easier.
Miss Dong's marriage to the Fang family was arranged since childhood; these marriages between wealthy families are none of our business.
I never expected that at this time, Miss Dong would have some other thoughts about Lin Qiuran.
Unexpected.
Surprisingly, Ms. Dong's idea was quite naive.
"What's wrong with getting engaged? I didn't say I had to have any future with Lin Qiuran. People like us, when we meet someone we like, we naturally want to keep them by our side for a while longer."
However, I don't care what these rich heiresses think. What I care about is where Lin Qiuran is right now.
The waiting process is extremely agonizing.
Ten minutes passed, and there was still no result. Even Ms. Dong was losing patience.
The search was very difficult, and I asked Ms. Dong again, uncertainly, "Are you sure he's left?"
Miss Dong nodded without hesitation, "I tried everything, but he wouldn't listen. Plus, someone from the Fang family is coming soon, so I had no choice but to release him for now."
Judging from her words, she seemed somewhat unwilling to accept it.
But if he left yesterday, and Lin Qiuran hasn't gone back to look for his wife and children today, where could he have gone?
He's not that kind of person, which means something must have happened.
Someone from the Fang family is coming to visit soon, which makes me a little uneasy, so I asked Miss Dong about it.
"Who from the Fang family is coming to visit recently?"
Miss Dong seemed reluctant to talk about it, and pursed her lips when the visitor was mentioned.
“It’s my fiancé. If he hadn’t come, there would have been no need to rush to let Lin Qiuran go.”
I don't know much about the Fang family, but I've heard a bit about her fiancé.
Even if the Fang family is not as powerful as the Dong family, they are still not something that ordinary families like ours can compete with.
At this moment, I was a little worried that Lin Qiuran might fall into the hands of Miss Dong's fiancé.
After waiting for about half an hour, Ms. Dong still hadn't found any information, and I really couldn't wait any longer.
I got up and left the room. Miss Dong called me from behind, but I ignored her.
At times like this, there is only one person I can think of who can help me.
I hesitated, wondering whether I should contact her.
But when I think of Lin Qiuran, one of the very few friends who wholeheartedly cares about me, and how much he has done for me, I can't just stand by and do nothing.
Ultimately, I chose to call Song Yafei.
After the call connected, Song Yafei's voice was filled with exhaustion, but also a hint of joy, "Zhang Tian? Looking for me?"
Holding my phone, I didn't know how to start the conversation. I didn't even realize that my hand was trembling slightly.
"Yafei, Lin Qiuran is missing!"
"What?" Song Yafei was also very surprised, and her voice rose considerably.
Her side quieted down considerably immediately. "What happened? How could he disappear? Explain yourself."
So I told Song Yafei about the whole story, and after I finished, Song Yafei was silent for a few minutes.
At this moment, she had regained the calm and decisiveness of President Song.
"Your idea is quite possible. If it's true, he should be suffering right now. The Fang family is far more complex than it seems."
Song Yafei's words made me even more nervous, and my lips trembled so much that I couldn't utter a word for a long time.
“Then…what should we do? Yafi, he just became a father.”
"Don't worry, I'm here. Everything will be fine. I'll handle this."
Song Yafei's voice was very gentle, and she was afraid that I would worry too much, so she gently comforted me.
Hearing her say that, I did feel much more at ease.
"Lin Qiuran can't be harmed, otherwise his whole family will be ruined. Please help me find him no matter what."
"Okay, you stay there and wait. I'll contact you as soon as I hear anything."
After saying that, Song Yafei hung up the phone. I leaned against the door, unable to calm down for a long time.
Since marrying Song Yafei, he has heard many rumors in their circle of wealthy people.
Whether it's true or not, I know that among these upper-class people, the desire for food, power, and money are no longer enough to satisfy them.
They will do anything to get what they want, and their methods of torture are extremely terrifying.
I can only pray to God that Lin Qiuran, such a simple and kind person, will not be tormented. He has done nothing wrong from beginning to end.
A short while later, Miss Dong also came out of the room.
She seemed to hear me on the phone and rushed over to ask, "How's the situation? Have you found him?"
Hearing her say that, I knew that she still hadn't made any progress.
The Dong family wields considerable power in S City, and not just any family can challenge them. Yet, Miss Dong has been unable to find any information about them.
That can only mean that someone is deliberately hiding it or that someone is covering it up.
Seeing Miss Dong again made me think that Lin Qiuran might be suffering, and I couldn't help but feel furious.
Everything that happened to Lin Qiuran's family was because of Miss Dong, and I really don't want to see her again.
Having already received Song Yafei's help, I was even less inclined to have anything to do with her anymore.
He said somewhat irritably, "Miss Dong should go back to the Dong family. Perhaps Lin Qiuran will be safer that way."
Miss Dong was somewhat reluctant. "What do you mean?"
"It's nothing. I think we'll find out who Lin Qiuran is in soon. If Miss Dong wants him to be safe, she shouldn't cause any more trouble."
Fortunately, she wasn't completely brainless; she quickly realized what was happening and didn't press the matter further.
"I wanted to tell you that I have contacted the hospital in Fengcheng to learn about the child and his mother's condition. I have already arranged for the best doctor to be brought over, and there shouldn't be any problems with the subsequent treatment."
