BXBX NOVEL Chapter 351 - 351: Who Else Would You Want to Take Care of You?
“President Shen, Miss Zhen Zhu is missing.”
Tang Bochuan’s voice on the other end of the phone was not as calm as usual. It sounded urgent.
Shen Hanyu’s face turned cold. “When did this happen?”
“Seven hours ago,” Tang Bochuan replied guiltily.
Seven hours ago, Shen Hanyu was on the plane back to China. Tang Bochuan could not get in touch with Shen Hanyu, so he could only use all the resources he had at his disposal. In the end, he could not even find Zhen Zhu.
It was as if she had disappeared into thin air, leaving no trace behind. There was no way to find her.
Shen Hanyu’s eyes were filled with hostility, but when he glanced at Sang Qianqian, he quickly suppressed his emotions.
Seven hours was enough for a person to fly from Beijing to overseas.
He had chosen Tang Bochuan to take care of Zhen Zhu because he had a clear mind and was calm. However, he had not expected that such a big mess would happen in such a short time.
Tang Bochuan waited for a while, but Shen Hanyu did not reply.
The dead silence on the other end of the phone was like a boundless net with sharp needles. It passed through the radio waves and wrapped Tang Bochuan tightly. His palm that was holding the phone was cold and sweaty.
“We’ve checked all the information of the departing passengers at the airport. Miss Zhen Zhu wasn’t there. She must still be in the country, but most likely not in the capital anymore.”
Tang Bochuan continued with some difficulty, “When Miss Zhen Zhu disappeared, she was only wearing… Pajamas, and she didn’t even bring her phone. President Shen, I’m worried that something will happen to her…”
“I’ll be there in a bit,” Shen Hanyu said.
In front of Sang Qianqian, he had no intention of talking to Tang Bochuan and hung up the phone.
Sang Qianqian looked at him and asked, “Who was it? Did something happen?”
“Tang Bochuan got into some trouble, I’ll have to deal with it.”
Shen Hanyu did not hide anything. He picked up some food for Sang Qianqian calmly. “Have a good meal first.”
Sang Qianqian had met Tang Bochuan before and had a good impression of him, especially that calmness that did not match his age, which left a deep impression on her.
Unless he was in trouble, he would not call Shen Hanyu the moment he returned.
“Hanyu,” she said considerately, “You can go ahead with your work. You don’t need to take care of me.”
Shen Hanyu looked at her and smiled. There was a hint of helplessness in his smile, but more than that, there was an indescribable love and gentleness.
Sang Qianqian was a little confused. “What are you smiling for?”
“I’m smiling because you’re being silly.”
Shen Hanyu raised his eyebrows. “I’m your husband. I have the responsibility of taking care of you. Otherwise, who else would you want to take care of you?”
Sang Qianqian was speechless.
She pouted. “Don’t change the subject. I’m just afraid that I’ll delay your business.”
“Having dinner with my wife is my top priority,” Shen Hanyu said seriously.
“But Tang Bochuan…”
“There’s still time to go after I accompany you to eat.”
Shen Hanyu ladled a bowl of soup for Sang Qianqian with a calm expression. “Didn’t you just say that this soup was delicious? Since you’ve fed me your soup, I’ll ladle another bowl for you.”
Sang Qianqian could only obediently continue eating and drinking her soup.
After the meal, Shen Hanyu sent her back to the small courtyard. Sang Qianqian was about to get out of the car when Shen Hanyu stopped her.
In the dimly lit car, the two of them looked at each other, their breaths tangling.
Sang Qianqian almost thought that she would be overwhelmed by the overwhelming kiss once again, and her heart started to beat faster.
However, Shen Hanyu only brushed away the loose hair by her ear and said gently, “I’m sorry, I’m afraid I can’t accompany you tonight. Don’t wait for me, and sleep early.”
Sang Qianqian was speechless.
Tve already prepared everything, but you’re giving me this?’
She was angry and amused at the same time. Suddenly, she wrapped her arms around Shen Hanyu’s neck and took the initiative to kiss him.
Before he could even react, Sang Qianqian had already pushed open the car door with a smile and ran into the courtyard.
At the door, she turned around and looked at Shen Hanyu. The light reflected the girl’s bright eyes and white teeth, as well as the mischievous smile on her face.
“You didn’t do what you promised me, so this is your punishment.”
Shen Hanyu couldn’t help but touch his lips. She had kissed him rashly and her teeth had hit his lips, but he didn’t feel any pain. He only felt that his limbs and bones were warm. It was a pity that this punishment was so little.
Through the car window, Shen Hanyu watched as Sang Qianqian quickly walked into the house, his eyes unusually gentle.
However, when Sang Qianqian completely disappeared from his sight, that gentleness was also retracted, leaving behind only a biting cold.
In the manor, Shen Hanyu was listening to Tang Bochuan’s report on Zhen Zhu’s disappearance with a blank expression, but his hands did not stop moving as he looked through the surveillance records frame by frame.
After Tang Bochuan finished speaking, the living room fell into a long silence.
Shen Hanyu stared at the computer, his expression turning cold.
Tang Bochuan stood at the side with his hands hanging by his sides, his face dark.
His heart felt like it was being fried in oil, and he could only feel ashamed.
All these years, he had taken every step steadily and did not dare to make the slightest mistake. However, when it came to Zhen Zhu, he had suffered a huge setback and ruined half of his life’s wisdom because of her kindness.
Since Shen Hanyu’s last visit, Zhen Zhu had been quiet for a few days. She didn’t make any noise, pretend to be sick, hurt herself, or smash things.
However, she didn’t have much energy, and she looked bored.
Therefore, when she took the initiative to look for Tang Bochuan and told him that she wanted to eat cake from a certain brand, Tang Bochuan did not refuse and sent someone to buy it for her.
She asked someone to send lunch to the balcony and poured herself a cup of wine. After she ate the cake, she said that she was going to take a nap.
Not long after, Tang Bochuan was startled by her moans. When he strode into the room, he saw Zhen Zhu, who was only wearing a nightgown, with red rashes on her face and exposed skin.
She seemed to be in a lot of pain and even had difficulty breathing. Claiming that she wasn’t pretending this time, she grabbed Tang Bochuan’s hand and asked him to save her. There seemed to be peanut butter in the cake and she was allergic to peanuts.
Tang Bochuan immediately called for the doctor. The doctor said that it might be a serious allergy and that the emergency facilities in the manor were limited, so she had to be sent to the hospital for treatment.
Tang Bochuan didn’t have time to think. He grabbed a thick coat and wrapped Zhen Zhu in it. Afterward, he carried her downstairs and drove her to the hospital.
Who would have thought that Zhen Zhu would disappear from Tang Bochuan’s sight before they even reached the hospital?
“I have failed President Shen and betrayed President Zhen’s trust. I’ll wait until we find Miss Zhen Zhu.”
The guilt in Tang Bochuan’s eyes intensified as he said in a low voice, “By that time, I’ll take the blame and resign. I’ll leave the capital. If anything happens to Miss Zhen Zhu, I won’t shirk my responsibility. I… I will exchange a life for a life…”
“Don’t worry, you won’t have the chance to do that.”
Shen Hanyu interrupted Tang Bochuan. He clicked the mouse and zoomed in on a surveillance video. After looking at it for a long time, he finally stood up slowly.
“Get the car ready, we’re going to pick her up.”
Tang Bochuan’s body shivered. He could not believe it.
He wanted to ask something, but Shen Hanyu had already strode out of the room. Tang Bochuan did not dare to delay and quickly followed..
