For Su Chen, the next two or three days were business as usual. Besides work, teasing the girls in the Public Rtions department, dining with Xia Qiuru, and visiting Lin Ruoxue''s office, his remaining time was devoted to cultivation.


    Of course, that didn''t include the evenings, which were reserved for more important matters!


    Over these few days, news of the Situ Family''s Third Young Master''s wedding had gradually spread from the upper echelons and was now the talk of the town!


    However, Su Chen, who spent his days either at thepany or at home, hadn''t heard about it yet.


    That morning, as Su Chen was in his office enjoying thetest issue of "Men''s Style," his phone suddenly rang. Picking it up, he saw that it was from Xiao Yaning.


    Hadn''t this girl been in Jiangbeitely, discussing partnerships on a business trip? Why would she think to call him now?


    He didn''t think too much about it and answered the call.


    "Yaning, what''s up?"


    While talking, Su Chen was still admiring the sexy models in the magazine.


    "Su Chen, Ye Mei might be in trouble!"


    As soon as the call connected, Xiao Yaning''s voice came through, tense and urgent.


    "Yaning, don''t panic. Take it slow, what happened?"


    Upon hearing this, Su Chen instantly tensed up, promptly putting down the magazine.


    "I haven''t been able to contact Ye Mei for several days now. I''m worried something has happened to her!"


    Xiao Yaning''s voice was filled with concern.


    "You scared me there. I thought something serious had happened!"


    Upon hearing this, Su Chen''s heart eased slightly. After all, it was just a case of lost contact; he had thought that something major had happened to Ye Mei!


    "Isn''t she still on a business trip in Europe?"


    Su Chen asked again. About twenty days ago, he had received a call from Ye Mei, who said that the Phillip Family had introduced her to several major financial groups. Naturally, she wouldn''t miss such an opportunity, so she nned to stay a few more days.


    Her call was mainly to thank Su Chen, knowing that the Phillip Family''s eagerness was surely for his sake.


    "No, she called me ten days ago, saying she would be back in a couple of days."


    Xiao Yaning said anxiously:


    "A week ago, when I called her, I couldn''t reach her again, not till now!"


    "I also called thepany to ask. Her secretary said she hasn''te back yet. I even had her secretary check her ce, but still, no one!"


    Upon hearing this, Su Chen truly became hesitant, realizing this situation was a bit troubling.


    "Did you call the police?" Su Chen asked.


    "I had Ye Mei''s secretary report it, but the police said it''s difficult to handle since it''s uncertain where she disappeared, or even if she''s in Huaxia. She could be in Europe or somewhere on the way back. There are too many possibilities."


    Xiao Yaning continued:


    "The police also tried to locate her mobile phone, but there''s absolutely no signal."


    "Why didn''t you call me sooner?"


    Su Chen said somewhat helplessly.


    "I didn''t want to bother you! I thought I''d wait to see, maybe she''d show up in a few days!"


    Xiao Yaning said sheepishly. She hadn''t initially nned to contact Su Chen, but with a week gone and no news, she was getting more anxious!


    "Alright, let me try to handle this matter!"


    Su Chen reassured her:


    "Don''t worry too much, with me here, everything will be alright!"


    "Okay, thank you so much. Please let me know immediately if there''s any news."


    Xiao Yaning ced all her hope in Su Chen and pleaded.


    "Don''t worry, Ye Mei is also my friend,"


    Su Chen spoke in a rxed tone.


    "Where on earth could this girl have gone?"


    After hanging up the phone, Su Chen slightly frowned and murmured.


    He immediately dialed a number, and as soon as the phone rang, it was picked up:


    "Esteemed Hades, Your Highness, I am so delighted that you''ve called me!"


    The voice was somewhat aged and extremely excited — it belonged to Philip Aldridge, the head of the Phillip Family!


    "Mr. Aldridge, how have you beentely?"


    Su Chen asked with a smile.


    "Great, incredibly great — ever since you treated me two years ago, I feel as if I''ve regained twenty years of youth!"


    Aldridgeughed heartily.


    Two years ago, Aldridge had suddenly suffered a stroke. Despite numerous authoritative doctors'' attempts, his condition remained untreated until they had to seek out Su Chen.


    With just a few hours of intervention from Su Chen and some pills he left behind, not only had Aldridgepletely recovered, but he also felt more energetic than before!


    Of course, Su Chen''s treatment wasn''t for free; he charged a friendly sum of two billion US dors!


    Although it seemed like a lot of money, it was nothingpared to the health of the Phillip Family''s patriarch!


    "Hades, Your Highness, is there anything specific you wanted to discuss? Whatever it is, rest assured, the Phillip Family will dedicate all efforts to assist you,"


    Aldridge said magnanimously, knowing that helping Su Chen could mean even greater benefits for him, tangible or intangible.


    "It''s nothing major, I simply wanted to thank you for looking after my friend."


    Su Chen casually stated.


    "Hades, Your Highness, are you referring to Miss Ye? You are too kind. It was but a small effort, and of course, we must treat your friends well!"


    Aldridge said with augh.


    "By the way, is she still in Europe? I''ve been having trouble contacting her these past few days."


    "No, she isn''t there. A week ago, no, to be precise, eight days ago she returned."


    Aldridge reflected for a moment.


    "Are you sure she returned to Huaxia?"


    Su Chen quickly asked.


    "Absolutely, I personally handed her the ticket, and I, along with some others, personally saw her onto the ne!"


    Aldridge hesitantly spoke:


    "Hades, Your Highness, is there some trouble?"


    "No, just asking. Oh, and do send me the flight details she took immediately."


    "Certainly, Hades, Your Highness."


    Seconds after Su Chen hung up the phone, Aldridge sent over the flight details Ye Mei had taken.


    Su Chen checked them and found that nothing unusual had urred on that flight; it hadnded on time at Jianghai International Airport at ten at night!


    This meant that, barring any unforeseen incidents, she had safely returned to Jianghai.


    Therefore, it''s highly likely that something had happened to her after she returned to Jianghai!


    And it must have been during that very night because if not, she would have gone to work the next day, and her colleagues would definitely have seen her. However, currently, no one had seen her.
