Song Ge rushed back in a hurry, looking tense. This so - called father was indeed no ordinary person. There might be some secrets hidden behind this.
Zhai Cheng was also worried about the company that had become an empty shell. His father had no reason to give him an empty - shell company. This puzzled him.
"Zhai Cheng." As soon as Song Ge entered the door, she saw him sitting in the hall with a solemn expression. "What's wrong?"
"I found out today that the company my father gave me is an empty - shell company."
Song Ge wasn't overly surprised. She told Zhai Cheng what she had seen. "I saw him with Xu Qin."
Zhai Cheng was shocked. He looked up at Song Ge, a suspicion rising in his heart. "Don't get involved in this. I'll investigate."
Song Ge didn't ask further and just nodded.
In the evening, Song Ge remembered that the jewelry ordered by Meng Yajing should have been delivered today, but it hadn't arrived yet. So she had to call Meng Yajing.
It was the maid at home who answered the call.
"Where's Auntie?"
"Madam went out this morning and hasn't come back yet." The maid knew that Zhang Yao had taken Meng Yajing away, but she thought that since they had been together before, there shouldn't be any problems.
Song Ge didn't think much about it and assumed that Meng Yajing had gone out to play. "Okay. Call me when she comes back."
After hanging up the phone, Song Ge always felt that something was off, but she couldn't put her finger on it.
The next day, Song Ge was woken up by Aunt Chen.
"The villa called and said that the old madam didn't return to the villa all night."
Song Ge, who had been sleepy just now, suddenly woke up. She threw off the quilt and got out of bed. "I'll go and check."
Zhai Cheng had already gone to the company. Before getting to the bottom of the matter, Song Ge decided not to tell him for the time being.
Song Ge immediately went to the old - family villa.
When the maid saw Song Ge, she seemed to see a savior. "Madam, you're finally here." Although Song Ge hadn't married Zhai Cheng yet, in everyone's eyes, her status had already been defaulted.
Song Ge looked serious, calm and composed. "What exactly happened?"
The maid was actually quite frightened and was speaking incoherently. "The old madam, she, she was still..."
Song Ge put her hand on the maid's shoulder and looked into her eyes. "Take your time. Don't be in a hurry."
The maid took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. "A man named Zhang Yao called for the old madam yesterday. The old madam went out and hasn't come back yet. Her phone is also unreachable, so we informed you."
Zhang Yao?
Song Ge squinted slightly. This man was indeed up to something!
"I see. Don't tell anyone else about this for now. Wait at home."
"Okay."
After Song Ge left, she immediately had someone investigate Zhang Yao. Since the matter was of great importance, she didn't plan to solve it on her own. After all, the later it was, the more dangerous Meng Yajing would be. So she immediately went to the company to find Zhai Cheng.
As soon as she entered the door, she ran into a personnel staff who had always targeted Song Ge in the company.
"Yo, isn't this Mrs. Zhai? Why do you have time to come to the company today?" The woman was sharp - tongued.
Song Ge had no time to joke with her and directly pushed her aside. Unexpectedly, the woman deliberately fell to the ground and knocked over a cup beside her.
With a bang, it attracted a lot of attention.
Logically speaking, now that Song Ge's status was different from before and this woman still worked in this company, she should avoid Song Ge. But she just couldn't stand Song Ge. Why could she marry into a wealthy family! She was so unwilling!
"Come and see! The president's wife is beating someone." The woman cried pitifully, looking extremely delicate.
Song Ge sneered. "Keep acting." Then she was about to leave. The woman quickly hugged Song Ge's leg, stood up, and got closer to her. "Song Ge, you won't always be so lucky. I'm going to ruin you!"
Saying that, she took out a small knife she always carried from her waist and stabbed at Song Ge's abdomen.
Everything happened so fast that Song Ge didn't even have time to react. However, the pain she expected didn't come.
Blood dripped onto the ground drop by drop.
Zhai Cheng directly snatched the knife from the woman's hand and threw it on the ground. He looked at Song Ge nervously. "Are you okay?"
Song Ge shook her head, her eyes fixed on his hand. It must have hurt so much.
"You can leave now." After saying this, Zhai Cheng hugged Song Ge and walked into the office.
Because Song Ge was anxious to bandage Zhai Cheng, she forgot the purpose of her visit.
She blew on his wound gently, afraid of hurting Zhai Cheng. "Does it hurt?"
Zhai Cheng shook his head with a smile and suddenly got a little closer. "It doesn't hurt as long as you're here."
Hearing his glib words, Song Ge applied a little more force. Zhai Cheng gasped in pain. "Are you trying to murder your husband?"
Only then did Song Ge apply less force.
"Why did you come here today? Miss me?"
This question reminded Song Ge of the purpose of her visit. Her expression became serious and worried. "The maid from the old - family villa called and said that Auntie didn't go home yesterday."
Zhai Cheng frowned. "Where did she go?"
Song Ge hesitated for a while and then slowly said, "Zhang Yao took her away."
They both knew that Zhang Yao was definitely up to something now. So the fact that he had taken Meng Yajing away didn't bode well.
Zhai Cheng's face turned pale, and his eyes were filled with raging flames.
"Zhang Yao and Auntie were together before. I think he shouldn't make things difficult for Auntie." Song Ge said this to comfort Zhai Cheng, but she felt that even she couldn't convince herself.
The people sent by Zhai Cheng and Song Ge were looking for Meng Yajing's whereabouts together, but there was still no news.
The two sat in the hall waiting. Every time a phone rang, they would get extremely nervous, but they were always disappointed in the end.
Zhai Cheng's phone rang again. He quickly answered the call and hung up after just a few words.
"She's found. She's in an old house in the suburbs."
The two set off for the suburbs. Along the way, they both chose to be silent in tacit understanding.
The car stopped in front of a row of old residential buildings.
Some people were quite curious when they saw such an expensive car coming here.
Zhai Cheng checked the address, grabbed Song Ge's hand, and went in search according to the address.
The old buildings were filled with the barking of dogs and people's shouts from time to time.
Since it was an old residential area without an elevator, they had to walk up the stairs.
They were getting closer and closer to their destination.
Song Ge could feel that Zhai Cheng's palms were sweaty. She gently patted his hand and gave him a smile.
Zhai Cheng felt a lot more at ease. He held her hand and walked to the door. After pausing for a moment, he directly knocked on the door.
Zhang Yao thought it was the take - out he had ordered, so he opened the door without any defense. But when he saw Zhai Cheng's face, he quickly tried to close the door.
Zhai Cheng quickly blocked the door with his foot and pushed it open to enter.
Zhang Yao immediately knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face. "I know I was wrong. I had no choice. Xu Qin caught hold of my weakness. I had no other way."
