The next morning, when Shen Cheng woke up, Shi Yu was already nowhere to be seen.
Last night, he held her tightly and kept telling her not to worry too much, that he would rescue the person.
Although she was not clear why Mo Qingxin had always been hesitant to harm her, it did not mean Mo Qingxin would not dare to do something to her brother.
Rescuing him a day earlier would put her at ease sooner.
She knew Shi Yu’s capabilities; it seemed he always managed to accomplish what he promised.
Thus, she slept particularly deep.
Looking out the window, it was already broad daylight.
Shen Cheng propped herself up from the bed, touched the other half of the bed which had already lost its warmth; he must have gone out very early.
After getting up and preparing herself, she went downstairs, somehow feeling a vague unease.
She called Shi Yu intending to ask about his current situation, but to her surprise, an emotionless automated female voice from the phone alerted her that his phone was turned off.
The hand holding the phone slowly tightened.
He rarely turned off his phone; at least whenever she wanted to reach him, she could find him.
Anytime she called or sent a message, he would reply at the earliest opportunity.
What could have happened that he turned off his phone...
Thinking it over, Shen Cheng set her phone next to her on the table so she could immediately see the reply if there was one.
The more she thought, the more uneasy she felt.
Anxious at heart, but she understood that no matter how worried or devoid of appetite she was, she still needed to eat.
So she sat at the table and hurriedly nibbled a few bites, though all the food prepared was suitable for pregnant women—meals, desserts, and fruits—it felt like chewing wax.
After putting down her chopsticks and wiping her mouth, Shen Cheng immediately instructed the servants to call the driver.
Knowing the gravity of the situation, she guessed that Qin Jin wouldn’t just stand by, he must have also sent people to go together.
Thus, she planned to have the driver take her to the Qin Mansion, intending to ask about the situation.
However, upon arriving at the Qin Mansion, Qin Jin was not there.
Seeing her, a servant stepped forward and informed: "Young Madam Shi, our young master left in the morning, saying that he had business to attend to and it would be a while before he returned."
Shen Cheng acknowledged with a hmm, her mind still preoccupied.
She thought Qin Jin had only sent people, never expected that he would personally join...
Shen Cheng frowned slightly, fearing those people were truly not easy to deal with.
The capabilities of the President, she knew them better than anyone else.
So the only thing she was worried about now was their safety.
Just thinking about it gave her a headache.
Not knowing where to find them and unable to blindly wander around like a headless fly, she could only get in the car and instruct the driver to go to the mansion.
The driver did not start the car immediately, but took another look through the rearview mirror as if to confirm something, then hesitantly said, "Young Madam, a car has been following us since we left, I’m concerned they might mean harm... I think perhaps it would be best for Young Madam to rest a while at the Qin Mansion, until the young master comes with people to pick you up?"
The driver spoke rightly; this time, Shen Cheng went out with only him, and not even a bodyguard accompanied her.
If someone intended to harm her, just the two of them likely wouldn’t have any chance to fight back.
Shen Cheng, feeling somewhat exhausted, pinched the corners of her eyes. Staying at the Qin Mansion would indeed not bring any news immediately, thus she wanted to go back and wait.
She frowned lightly and said, "No need, let’s go."
The driver, reluctantly but unable to disobey the order, started the car and drove off.
