All the way until Feng Yi Lan reached the Feng Internationals, she kept on trying the numbers of Qi Shuai and Feng Shufen but it was still notifying to be unreachable. Not having any other option in hand, she at once got inside the skyscraping building where her appearance was not free to appear at any time.
"Is my brother inside his office?" she asked the moment she saw someone coming her way to greet. She didn't allow him to exchange the words of any warmth with her, instead mobilizing her steps, she walked further in, asking the person to tell her while following after.
"President Feng has not yet come to the company, Young Miss. There are a few meetings for him to attend but all of them have been postponed. So I guess, President Feng must be busy with other things right now" The person informed, following Feng Yi Lan inside the elevator.
Hearing him say that her brother was not yet in the office, Feng Yi Lan suddenly turned around to glare at the man, almost making him jump in fright. "Not in the office, then where is he? And why is his phone coming unreachable?"
She asked and the man stuttered in his words. "I am – I am sorry, Ms. Feng. But we have no authority to ask the President about his whereabouts. Furthermore, Secretary Gao is also not here and …"
"Enough! What about Director Qi? Is he in the office?" Feng Yi Lan wasn't having the patience to hear the person grumble uselessly at the moment. So cutting him short in his words, she directly asked another question.
To which the person again could only answer vaguely. "Ms. Feng, Director Qi has come early today and is currently monitoring a departmental meeting in the conference room. You can wait for him in his office while I will rush to inform him about your arrival" He said before quickly moving his hand to press the key to the next floor.
"No need to take such efforts, I know the direction to the conference room. I will go there myself". She said as she saw the display screen displaying the arriving floor before dinging open.
Behind the person could only panic, rushing after her. "But Ms. Feng, Director Qi is busy in the meeting. Allow me to go and inform him. Your sudden appearance may shock the employees" He said but Feng Yi Lan was already on her way proceeding in her steps.
Reaching the conference room, she at once pushed the door before announcing, "Why are you not receiving the call. I have something to talk to you" She said and her sudden voice took everyone away from their tracks. People stood up at once in surprise as they greeted one after the other.
"Ms. Feng!"
But Feng Yi Lan didn't care to look at anyone. Her eyes just scanned among the people, furrowing her brows. "Where is Director Qi? Wasn't he attending the meeting here?"
The people were flustered. But still, someone came forward to explain, "Ms. Feng, Director Qi has planned to be earlier. But receiving an urgent call, he has to leave to check things. We have been managing the meeting on our own till his arrival".
Feng Yi Lan was at her wit's end. Though Li Xue has already gone to handle things on her own, she couldn't let her friend suffer both mentally and physically like that. And without her brother and Qi Shuai, she was sure that she could not be of any help. And above all, she was yet not sure if the little girl was safe or not. Feeling all helpless at the moment, she was about to burst out when heard the voice from behind showing her a ray of hope in the darkness.
"Brother Qi!" She uttered lightly under her breath before turning around to look at the man behind her.
Qi Shuai looked at her and nodded. "What happened? You don't look good. Is everything fine?" He asked, not failing to see the helplessness in her expressions.
Feng Yi Lan shook her head. "I was calling you and brother all this time now but your phone was unreachable." She said, her eyes already tearing a little at the corners, looking at the man standing with an aura of ȧssurance at a distance.
"I was a little busy. I didn't notice it before. And for Shufen …"
"Little WeiWei has gone missing from the school. The Principal has called to say that they fear that she has been kidnapped by someone". She said and people standing around were all confused hearing that. They heard the name for the first time but looking at the woman panicked like that, they could already guess the seriousness of the situation.
"That is my first time hearing that name? Who is that kid? Seems too important to Ms. Feng" Someone whispered from behind.
"Yes, seeing Ms. Feng getting so panicked, I think it's a serious matter that could affect the whole of us"
"But did someone really dare to kidnap the kid? What identity does the kid hold that people are after her?"
Qi Shuai's expression as well changed as his brows furrowed with some hint of concern evident in his eyes. "Kidnapped? How could that be? No one would dare to touch her especially after knowing …"
"What should we do now? Li Xue has gone to the school to check but … Do you think that it was because people have come to know that she is the daughter of my brother?" She asked, whispering in a light voice but it was already all audible to the people around.
People exchanged glances among themselves while Qi Shuai already prepared the group to mobilize to look into the matter.
"Don't worry. Everything will be fine. Come, let's get to my office first" He said as wrapping his arms around her, he took Feng Yi Lan towards his office.
