Forty minutes later, in the office of the head of hotel guest services.
Manager Li put the tea in front of Huangfu Jue with a smile on his face but then let out a long sigh, "Gan Yuan? Don’t even mention it, I just hung up the phone."
Will immediately became excited, "She called?"
Huangfu Jue, sitting on the sofa, frowned even more. If he wasn’t wrong, that damn woman was definitely resigning.
As Huangfu Jue suspected, Manager Li spoke with a tone of helplessness.
"She said there was an urgent matter at home and she needed to resign... Ah, what can I do? The hotel staff is already stretched thin, and now this really has me worried!"
He thought he had received some news about her, but as it turned out, it was a resignation. Seeing Huangfu Jue silently sitting on the sofa, he continued to ask questions.
"Then... does Manager Li have any other contact details for Miss Gan, or do you know if she has other friends?"
"That...," Manager Li thought for a moment, "I really don’t have anything besides her mobile number. Oh yes, I’ll ask for her home address. The girls in the housekeeping department often hang out with Xiaotang; they definitely know where they live."
Huangfu Jue, who had been silent until now, suddenly asked, "What number?"
Manager Li was taken aback, "Num... number?"
Will hurried to explain, "Sir is asking you, what number did Miss Gan call from? What number was displayed?"
"Well..." Manager Li finally understood, "It’s from a landline, no number displayed."
Huangfu Jue clenched his teeth silently, got up from the sofa, and headed to the door without a goodbye.
Seeing this, Will quickly gave Manager Li a smile, "Then we’ll head back to the room for now. Please inform us if you have any updates. The company still needs Xiaotang to continue cooperating with our promotion. With her and her child suddenly missing, we’re quite anxious."
Seeking people always requires a reason; you can’t just blurt out the truth. Will had to use the cooperation with Gan Tang as an excuse.
"Sure, no problem," Manager Li eagerly agreed, "if she calls again, I’ll definitely pass the message on to her." He obsequiously saw them out, nodding and bowing all the way to the elevator. Watching the elevator doors close, he then straightened, "This Gan Yuan, playing the disappearing act, I really don’t know what’s going through her head."
As they entered the elevator, Huangfu Jue spoke again.
"Notify the team in the residential area to keep an eye on her car."
He had already checked the flight records with the airlines, which showed that she had entered B City airport three hours earlier.
In the meantime, he had tried calling her and Xiaotang with countless numbers, but their mobile phones were always off.
She hadn’t returned home, hadn’t been back to the hotel, and had only called the landlord and Manager Li.
Now, apart from these, their whereabouts were a complete mystery to him.
Seeing him with a worried expression, another assistant offered a suggestion.
"Should we otherwise release Xiaotang’s photo and put out a missing person notice?"
Before the assistant finished speaking, Huangfu Jue already shouted in anger.
His intuition told him that she was definitely still in this city, hiding in a corner unknown to him.
The reason she came back here must be important to her, and if he pushed too hard, she might take off with Gan Tang in a fit of anger.
If that were to happen, it would be like releasing a fish back into the ocean, and finding them again would be nearly impossible.
The population of this city was several tens of millions. Finding someone deliberately hiding from him was like searching for a grain of sand on a beach. It would be difficult enough to locate her, but if he drove her away, it would be even more challenging.
