Chapter 1592: You Are My Little Love Song (159)
s.h.i.+ Niange suddenly felt as though something heavy was pressing down on her shoulders, suffocating her.
They were right.
She did not have the time to grieve. There were too many things piling up, forcing her to grow up.
In the afternoon, s.h.i.+ Niange locked herself in the lounge next to her father’s ward.
Outside the door, Xiao Da ran back with the phone card he had just used to help her with the local and international call. He was about to push open the door to enter when he was stopped by Xiao Luye.
“What’s wrong?” Xiao Da quickly stopped.
“She’s reading the doc.u.ments of the senior executives and directors of s.h.i.+da Group.” Xiao Luye glanced at him. “Don’t disturb her. What are you holding?”
“Her phone card.” Xiao Da quickly took it out. “By the way, her phone is still with you, isn’t it? Come, I’ll plug it in and see if I can use it.”
Xiao Luye glanced at him coldly again. He took out s.h.i.+ Niange’s phone from his windbreaker pocket and handed it to him.
Xiao Da took it, inserted the card, turned it on, and handed it to Xiao Luye.
The phone had only been turned on for about ten seconds when suddenly, it began to vibrate in Xiao Luye’s hand.
The number displayed on the screen was Hai City. The name displayed was Qin Siting.
The moment he saw the caller’s name, Xiao Luye lowered his eyes and did not speak.
Xiao Da also leaned over to take a look. When he saw Qin Siting’s name, his expression immediately turned long. He reached out and s.n.a.t.c.hed the phone away. After taking it away, he decisively hung up. Then he turned off the phone. He suddenly felt a little regretful. He had promised to do some cell phone business, so he let her use Xiao Luye’s phone for the time being, or use the account card he had bought from the United States. Anyway, now that these things had happened to the s.h.i.+ family, she didn’t have time to contact the country. He shouldn’t have done this phone card.
Thinking about it, Xiao Da directly put his phone into his pocket and did not plan to take it out again.
Xiao Luye only glanced at him coldly and did not speak.
…
It had been seven days since s.h.i.+ Ninage arrived in Los Angeles. In the first two days, she was immersed in the news of her mother’s death and was unable to walk out. Afterward, because of what Wen Ke, the a.s.sistant from the company, told her, as well as the share transfer doc.u.ments and other related doc.u.ments that her mother had personally transferred to her name, s.h.i.+ Niange completely felt the heavy burden on her shoulders.
She did not have the spare time or the mind to consider anything. Every day, she was occupied by these equity books, the company’s senior executives’ information, and a lot of things. In addition, the directors and senior executives of s.h.i.+da Group kept coming to the hospital to cause trouble. She had to stop them to prevent her father from being disturbed.
After her mother’s funeral, s.h.i.+ Niange stood in front of a new tombstone in a Los Angeles cemetery and looked at the black and white photo on it. Even though the photo was black and white, her mother still smiled like a flower.
Mrs. Yang Zhenzhen, you’re really beautiful.
Her aunt pushed her father, who was in a wheelchair, not far away and watched her from afar.
All the people who came to attend the funeral had left, leaving only their families, Xiao Luye and Xiao Da.
…
In the country.
Qin Siting would be back in about ten days after going to j.a.pan. s.h.i.+ Niange had been out of contact.
He called her several times but could not get through. The messages he sent were also like stones sinking into the ocean. He thought that there was a problem with her account card, so he shortened the days he should have stayed in j.a.pan for a few more days and returned to China three days later.
However, after returning to the country, s.h.i.+ Niange went missing.
No one knew where s.h.i.+ Niange had gone. The door of the laboratory was tightly shut. All of the employees had gone to Jing City in the past two days because of the latest drug research project. They had also entered a confidential experimental stage and could not contact anyone. Professor Yang was also not in Hai City. Only the security guards outside the laboratory said that no one would come to the laboratory in the next few days.
Qin Siting had contacted everyone close to s.h.i.+ Niange, Zhao Xiaoqing and Baby Qi, and some of her cla.s.smates whom she usually hang out with. They didn’t know where she went, and because it was still the holidays, everyone hadn’t seen her for a long time. They thought she was with him every day.
The clinic also said that s.h.i.+ Niange had not been here for the past few days and did not call to explain the reason. They were too busy and had called her many times, but they could not contact her.
Qin Siting went to the s.h.i.+ family in Hai City and found that Uncle Qin, Auntie Xiang, and the rest were not around. There were only a few servants who had been hired to do odd jobs. He could not get an answer even if he asked. It was obvious that they did not know anything. Typically, because s.h.i.+ Niange rarely returned to the s.h.i.+ family, they rarely saw the rumored Miss. How could they know where she had gone?
From the three days in j.a.pan to the few days of searching after returning to the country, s.h.i.+ Niange seemed to have vanished into thin air.
Qin Siting wanted to report the case, but Uncle Qin and Auntie Xiang, who had been in the s.h.i.+ family for many years, were gone. Professor Yang was also not in Hai City. Clearly, the matter was not as simple as simply disappearing.
Something must have happened.
But she couldn’t contact him.
In such a situation where the call could not be connected for a long time, Qin Siting could only think that s.h.i.+ Niange was not in the country.
There was another possibility. Something had happened to the s.h.i.+ family.
Qin Siting was in Li Shui Villa. His phone was connected to his computer, and the Qin family’s a.s.sistant’s voice came through the phone. “Young Master Qin, we’ve checked on the s.h.i.+ family’s recent situation, but we don’t seem to have seen any unusual changes. The s.h.i.+ family’s stock market is peaceful, and it seems to be increasing in the past few days. It seems like the people in s.h.i.+da Group have secretly invested a lot of money in it. I don’t know what happened, but there should be some changes in business decisions.”
“Aside from the s.h.i.+da branch in Hai City, are there any news about the other branches abroad?”
“It’s the same overseas. It’s very peaceful.”
As the a.s.sistant spoke on the phone, Qin Siting’s fingers paused on the keyboard of his laptop, looking at all the news reports about s.h.i.+da Group on the web page.
The news was all normal financial news. No private matters were exposed. Furthermore, s.h.i.+da Group seemed to be doing well in the stock market.
But what exactly was going on in the dark was not written in these reports.
However, such a big, invisible pancake made Qin Siting sensitive to the possibility that s.h.i.+da Group was already a failure on the outside, but on the inside, its internal deficiencies were all covered up by the big pancake drawn on the outside. In other words, someone was secretly controlling the s.h.i.+da Group If no one stopped it in time, no one could predict the consequences.
However, would this have anything to do with s.h.i.+ Niange’s sudden disappearance?
