Gu Yuxuan and Lu Yang waited for Yun Muxi for a long time and did not see her come back. Gu Yuxuan asked anxiously, "Why hasn"t Xiao Xi come back after so long a time?"
Lu Yang felt uneasy as well, and he stood up while saying, "I"ll go to have a look."
Gu Yuxuan stood up and stopped Lu Yang. "Let me go. It"s more suitable."
Then, she bowed her head to Murong Xu and said in a soft voice, "I"ll be back soon."
Gu Yuxuan went into the bathroom and called softly, "Xiao Xi, are you here?"
Gu Yuxuan walked into the bathroom and knocked on each door gently. When she came to the last door, there was a note attached to it. "The water pipe is broken. We will repair it as soon as possible. Sorry for the inconvenience."
The note was handwritten. Without much thought, Gu Yuxuan withdrew from the bathroom. Confused, she stopped a waiter and asked, "Excuse me, how many bathrooms are there on this floor?"
The waiter replied politely, "There is only one bathroom on this floor."
"How about the upstairs?"
"The rooms upstairs are all guestrooms, so, there are no public restrooms upstairs, only some separate toilets in the guestrooms."
"Okay, I see."
Gu Yuxuan searched each place on the whole floor, but she still couldn"t find Yun Muxi. When she walked back to Lu Yang, she found that Yun Muxi still had not come back yet.
"Hasn"t Xiao Xi come back yet? I looked for her in the bathroom, but she wasn"t there. Then, I looked all over this floor but I didn"t find her."
Murong Xu was also worried at the moment. He knew that although Yun Muxi had not been officially admitted by the Murong Family, her position in the Murong Family was definitely high, so, if something bad happened to her, the Murong Family would set off quite a storm.
Murong Xu stood up, and then, he said to Gu Yuxuan with his arm around her shoulder, "I will accompany you to look for her."
Lu Yang picked up Yun Muxi"s bag. "Xiao Xi"s bag and mobile phone are still here, and she has no money with her. She shouldn"t have left alone, so, she is supposed to stay in the hotel."
Mou Yilin chimed in, "Let me look for her with you. One more person, one more effort."
Lu Yang pondered and said, "Well, Okay! Now, Xuanxuan and Xu, you two go to get the surveillance video of the hotel. I"ll go to ask the receptionist at the hotel reception. Sister Yilin, you go to the bathroom to look for her again. Xiaoze, you can go with Sister Yilin and, by the way, check the male bathroom too. Xiao Xi might have gone to the wrong bathroom."
With different destinations, they started to look for Yun Muxi.
Gu Yuxuan and Murong Xu went to the security room first and obtained the surveillance video of the hotel. However, they were surprised to find that the monitor had not worked in a certain period and the video was blank. Knowing that Yun Muxi happened to go to the bathroom during this period, Murong Xu got a bad feeling.
Murong Xu took out his phone and called Murong Ye immediately. "h.e.l.lo, it"s Murong Xu. Brother, there is something wrong with Xiao Xi..."
After the call, Murong Xu called Lu Yang and told him the findings he had gotten in the monitoring room and his own guess.
Then, they gathered in the hotel lobby, and their movements had already got the notice of the hotel manager.
The hotel manager rushed over to them. His name was Zhao Chen, and he was 30 years old and was a management student who came back from studying abroad. He was a well-paid executive at the hotel and had been awarded some shares of the company for his excellent management. Thus, he was a minority shareholder in the company.
However, now, Zhao Chen was wearing a high-grade handmade suit with the b.u.t.tons open and the tie slightly loosened. The first b.u.t.ton of his shirt was unfastened, and he was even panting at the moment, which was totally inconsistent with the original impression he left to others as a composed and restrained senior manager.
That day, he should have gone off work from long ago, but, he especially stayed there for the block booking. He did not expect that something bad would happen.
Zhao Chen took two deep breaths and said, "I"m so sorry, I didn"t expect that such a thing would happen in our hotel. We will try our best to coordinate and solve this problem. Please rest a.s.sured."
Zhao Chen didn"t know about Yun Muxi, who was lost in the hotel. But now, standing in front of him were the three men of the Lu Family, the eldest daughter of the Mou Family, and the third young master of the Murong Family. As for the three families, the later was even more powerful than the former, so, he couldn"t afford to provoke any of them. Therefore, the missing of Yun Muxi, the small potato he didn"t know at all, naturally became a big event. He now even dared not to breathe out but just looked carefully at the crowd.
When Murong Xu was about to say something, there was a commotion at the door, and the rumbling sounds forced them to go out and have a look.
Everyone stepped out of the door in a hurry. A helicopter hovered over the gate. A tall figure jumped out of it and landed swiftly. Then, the helicopter flew away in a circle.
At the moment, it was already dark outside, and people couldn"t see who the newcomer was, but the unique silver hair still made them guess at someone.
Murong Xu first came forward and said to the newcomer, "Brother, you"re coming!"
Murong Ye came to the crowd with a dark face, and the cold breath on him became even colder at the moment. He was almost like death from h.e.l.l. Murong Ye walked up to the crowd and asked, "What"s going on?"
His cold voice brought the crowd a chill. Zhao Chen even lowered his head trembling and shuddered and dared not to speak. He had never thought that not only these young ladies and masters cared about the missing of Yun Muxi but also Murong Ye came there for it. It had to be a big day for him, and he worried whether it would affect his future or not.
Murong Xu told Murong Ye the whole thing while standing beside him. Lu Tao frowned doubtfully and asked, "Mr.Murong, what is the relationship between Yun Muxi and your Murong Family? I just can"t believe that you are here for her."
Murong Ye showed a cold face. "It"s none of your business. Shut up."
The three young masters of the Lu Family and Mou Yilin couldn"t help but be stunned. It was easy for them to notice Murong Ye"s care and protection for Yun Muxi, and this made everyone even more confused. How could Yun Muxi, the ordinary girl, had a relationship with the Murong Family. Judging from Murong Ye"s expression, others could tell that Yun Muxi was even very important to Murong Ye.
Murong Ye took out his phone and dialed several numbers. "Let Little Three and Little Five bring some men here in 20 minutes."
Murong Ye looked at Zhao Chen coldly while saying, "Now, have your men search every corner of the hotel for me. Find her out even if you"ll have to dig deep into the ground."
Zhaochen answered hastily, then turned, and ran away.
Five minutes later, all the staff of the hotel was boiling with the order, and they knocked on the door of every room.
Murong Ye stalked to the bathroom and opened the door of every compartment again. When he reached the last door, he frowned at the notice and thought quickly.
"Would a high-end five-star hotel have their note handwritten on an A4 paper? Would they not repair the broken equipment at once?"
Murong Ye"s face grew more somber, and he shouted toward the outside, "Second!"
Second quickly came in and bowed his head and responded. "Big Master."
"Open this door!"
Hearing this, Second immediately stepped forward and was about to kick the door open, but Murong Ye shouted at him, "Stop! Open it from the outside."
Second paused, and he hurried out to call the hotel staff to fetch him some tools and unloaded the door directly.
The instant the door opened, everyone stood still in shock. They searched the whole hotel for Yun Muxi and couldn"t find her. It turned out that she was here.
Murong Ye strode up and held Yun Muxi in his arms. Yun Muxi was wet from head to toe and cold. There was a striking red swelling on her forehead, which made Murong Ye even more enraged.
Murong Ye took off his coat and wrapped Yun Muxi with it. Holding Yun Muxi in his arms, he walked toward the outside and coldly ordered, "Find out who did it!"
Second quickly replied, followed Murong Ye, and walked out.
Murong Ye was surrounded by a group of people. As he carried Yun Muxi to the door of the hotel, Lu Yang and others hurried forward to look at Yun Muxi with concern.
Yun Muxi"s eyes were closed, her hair was wet, her face was pale, her lips were purple, and her forehead was injured. She looked very distressed.
"What happened to Xiao Xi?" Lu Yang looked at Yun Muxi with a face of affection.
Murong Ye ignored Lu Yang. He grabbed Yun Muxi"s bag from Lu Yang"s hands, pa.s.sed Lu Yang, and got on the car.
The car went away, leaving a crowd looking at each other in confusion.
"What happened to Xiao Yi and Murong Ye ..." Mou Yilin looked at the crowd with a desire to ask.
Murong Xu lightly said, "You"d better not be curious about the matter. Do not try to ask her and make blind guesses."
Lu Tao was the first to react and asked, "What do you know?"
Murong Xu didn"t answer. He grabbed Gu Yuxuan and said faintly, "Let"s go back too."
Murong Ye held Yun Muxi in his arms and held her even more tightly. Her body was still very cold. Murong Ye ordered in a low voice, "Turn the heat up to maximum."
Along the way, Murong Ye looked terrible like a devil because Yun Muxi"s body never showed any sign of warming.
When he returned home, Cui Pengrui was already at the door waiting for them. Murong Ye said to him, "Come to Xiao Xi"s bedroom. "
Murong Ye put Yun Muxi gently on the bed and asked the maid to change Yun Muxi"s clothes to a dry suit. Then, Cui Pengrui came forward to check Yun Muxi"s situation.
Murong Ye stared closely at Cui Pengrui until he stopped checking. Murong Ye asked in a deep voice, "What about Xiao Yi?"
Cui Pengrui looked up at Murong Ye. Murong Ye"s voice showed a sense of nervous. This was the first time that he had seen Murong Ye"s mood change so clearly.
"Fortunately, she just got a cold, which may cause pneumonia. The swelling on her forehead is just traumatic, and no sigh shows that she has an intracranial hemorrhage, but she may have a slight concussion. Her life has not been threatened. It"s no big deal."
"Pneumonia! Concussion! Fortunately? No big deal?"
Murong Ye questioned him in a cold voice. His undisguised anger made Cui Pengrui quiver. Such injuries were not harmful to Murong Ye, but for Yun Muxi ...
Cui Pengrui looked down at Yun Muxi.
Murong Ye said coldly, "You live here during this period and cannot leave until she is fully recovered. Otherwise, you must be on standby 24 hours a day."
After saying that, Murong Ye left Yun Muxi"s bedroom to enter the study. Second had already waited for him there.
When Murong Ye entered the study, he came straight to the point and asked, "Who did it?"
