If he couldn't ensure the safety of the young mistress, Chen Fang was afraid that by the time Mr. Huo came back, the company would be thriving, but he himself would be dead.
He thought that even if Mr. Huo were here, he would choose to rescue the young mistress.
After receiving Huo Cheng's email, Chen Fang learned that Gu Sisi had never reached the Huo residence. On the way, she left her car at a car - wash and then took a taxi. Chen Fang quickly traced the destination of that taxi.
The final stop was an old warehouse. After getting the email from Huo Cheng, Chen Fang made a prompt decision. He led a team of people and rushed to that old warehouse.
Thinking that several hours had passed since the young mistress left, Chen Fang was really worried about her safety. He had to go there immediately. Otherwise, if something really happened, just imagining the young master's reaction when he came back made Chen Fang shiver.
When they finally arrived, Chen Fang waved his hand, and the team behind him stopped.
He saw a taxi hidden near the warehouse. After comparing, he was sure it was the one the young mistress had taken.
Then Chen Fang led his men to approach quietly. The warehouse looked extremely desolate, as if no one had ever been there.
Chen Fang was on high alert. It was too quiet inside; something was fishy.
"It's really strange."
Despite his doubts, Chen Fang walked into the warehouse.
"What the...?!" After entering, Chen Fang was surprised to find it empty.
"Could the investigation result be wrong?" an assistant beside him asked doubtfully.
"No. The young mistress must have been here. But whether she's still here after so long is another story."
Chen Fang stared blankly at something on the ground.
"Why?" The assistant was completely confused.
"Look at that." Chen Fang signaled with his eyes at something scattered on the ground.
Chen Fang stepped forward and picked it up. He recognized it as the young mistress's wallet. When he opened it, there were indeed the young mistress's belongings inside: her ID card, cards, and some loose change.
These items were enough to prove that Gu Sisi had been here.
"So what should we do now?" the assistant asked Chen Fang.
"Search around first." Chen Fang waved his hand, and the men immediately took action.
Chen Fang also searched inside the warehouse, but it seemed that everyone had left.
...
The assistants quickly searched the area around the warehouse and came back to report to Chen Fang.
"Assistant Chen, there are some clothes here. They might belong to the young mistress."
Chen Fang took the clothes from the assistant's hand. Just by looking at them, he couldn't be sure they were Gu Sisi's. But the clothes were torn to pieces, and there were bloodstains in some places.
If these were really the young mistress's clothes, she might be in danger.
Chen Fang didn't dare to think further and immediately drove away from there.
"Sister Hu, could you please take a look and see if these clothes are what the young mistress wore?" Chen Fang gasped as he dumped the clothes in front of Sister Hu.
The incident happened so suddenly that Chen Fang couldn't tell for sure, so he had to come to Sister Hu.
"Yes... these are the clothes the young mistress wore yesterday!" Sister Hu turned the clothes over and over and was certain that these were the clothes Gu Sisi had worn the day before.
But looking at the shabby state of the clothes, Sister Hu couldn't even imagine what Gu Sisi had been through.
There were long slits in the clothes, which were dirty and had bloodstains in some places.
Thinking about what a woman like Gu Sisi might encounter and go through when going out alone at night, Sister Hu was really scared.
"Assistant Chen, what happened to the young mistress? Why are the clothes like this?" Sister Hu's hands trembled as she held the clothes.
"I... I'm sorry, Sister Hu. I don't know either. I'm still sending people to investigate. I haven't found the young mistress yet. I came to you just to ask if these clothes were hers." Facing Sister Hu, Chen Fang didn't know what else to say.
But the fact was that he hadn't found the person, and he couldn't lie to Sister Hu about this.
The top priority now was to report this to the young master immediately. Just thinking about it made Chen Fang's temples throb. Being an assistant was really not an easy job. He was always on tenterhooks, afraid that something might go wrong.
Just like now, thinking about having to tell the young master that the young mistress was in trouble made Chen Fang's head ache. If the young master knew that he had only found a pile of clothes, especially a pile of "bloody clothes", instead of the person...
Chen Fang really didn't know what his fate would be...
He was afraid that the president would scold him to death.
Finally, Chen Fang left the Huo family. There were still many things for him to handle. The most important one was to report to Huo Cheng and explain why he hadn't found the young mistress.
Chen Fang sighed and rubbed his forehead. Life was always full of twists and turns.
"Sister Hu, what just happened? Why were there so many people here all of a sudden? Is there any news about Sister Sisi?" Yang Qian heard the noise downstairs. After soothing the baby, she came downstairs.
By this time, Jiang Lihao had already left, and Yang Qian had been waiting nervously for news.
"No, there's no news. Assistant Chen just came to the house to pick up some materials."
"Really? I thought there was some news about Sister Sisi." Yang Qian shook her head. She always felt that Sister Hu was acting strangely.
"Not yet. Miss Yang, you don't need to worry. I'll let you know as soon as there's any news."
Looking at Sister Hu's kind smile, Yang Qian thought that Sister Hu probably wouldn't lie to her.
"Then I'll go upstairs to check on the baby. Sister Hu, please tell me if there's anything."
"Okay, don't worry." After seeing Yang Qian off with a smile, Sister Hu let out a sigh of relief. She really hoped that Yang Qian hadn't noticed anything strange.
Actually, Sister Hu didn't mean to hide it from Yang Qian on purpose. She just thought that since Yang Qian was Gu Sisi's best friend, if she knew about this, she would surely find it hard to accept.
Rather than jumping to conclusions before the matter was fully investigated, it was better to wait until everything was clear. Otherwise, telling Yang Qian now would be of no help to the situation. Instead, it would just add another sad person.
Why bother?
Looking at Yang Qian's back disappearing at the stairway, and then thinking about Gu Sisi and those dirty, blood - stained clothes, Sister Hu felt very uneasy. Now she just hoped that the young master and the young young master would be okay.
She also hoped that the young mistress would be blessed and able to turn the corner.
