CHAPTER 245
"YE CHAOXIANG!! Why is your fucking door locked?" Yang Chen yelled from outside the door he knocked. "Did I not just tell you over the phone that I have arrived at the hospital?" He asked.
"The bathroom is in there. I will leave your clothes there before you finish. Hurry up," Ye Chaoxiang whispered to Li Fengjin.
Li Fengjin took hurried steps into the room Ye Chaoxiang had directed him to. While he was at that, Ye Chaoxiang picked up his phone.
"Hold on a second, Yang Chen. I am coming to open the door now," Ye Chaoxiang said as he walked to the door while on his phone.
As soon as he opened the door, Yang Chen wanted to scold him but he paused.
Ye Chaoxiang had thought it would be wise to call Ning Xiaozhi at this moment. Now Yang Chen would not continue whining when he see that he is on a phone call.
'My Heart' was the name displayed on the phone screen. Yang Chen then understood that Ye Chaoxiang was on a call with his girlfriend.
"Oh! Sorry man," Yang Chen whispered as he stepped into the cabin.
"Hi, darling. How are you?" Ning Xiaozhi's voice rang out from the phone.
"Hey, my sweetheart. I am doing great. What about you?" Ye Chaoxiang asked as he loved the door.
"I am fine now that you called. What took you so long to call me? You have no excuse because you got two days off from work at the hospital," Ning Xiaozhi asked in a slightly angry and spoiled tone.
"Ah! That. Emergency stuff came up. It was very important," he said as he walked out to the mini-refrigerator to get a bottle of water to drink.
He dropped one on the table in front of Yang Chen. Ye Chaoxiang made hand gestures telling Yang Chen to drink to calm his nerves.
"Sigh. It is hard for you to get a day off nowadays. I miss you," she said in a soft voice.
"I miss you too... Xiaozhi?!" He called after a little break in his words.
"Hmm."
"There is something I need to tell you. You can't freak out. Make sure not to hurt yourself because what I am about to say may scare you," Ye Chaoxiang said.
His word made Ning Xiaozhi sit on the edge. Her thoughts had begun to run very far and her brain had started connecting different meanings of his words.
'Is he going to break up with me? Is ge tired id me already? Did I do anything wrong? Oh my God!'
"Xiaozhi?!" Ye Chaoxiang called.
"Y-Yes," she stuttered.
"Your friend, Bai Renxiang was missing," he dropped the news.
GAGHAN
"Are you joking with me, Ye Chaoxiang? Stop it if you are. I do not find it funny one bit," Ning Xiaozhi said.
"I am very serious. Dead serious. She was kidnapped."
Loop Doop
Loop Doop
Ning Xiaozhi's heart was beating very fast in her ears. Her phone slipped from her hands. Luckily, it fell on her lap.
"Xiaozhi. Darling, are you still on the line? Hello! Ning Xiaozhi," Ye Chaoxiang repeatedly called her name but he was met with silence from the other end of the line.
Meanwhile, for Ning Xiaozhi, all movement or sound was shut out of her ears. Her breath was laboured and her whole body trembled as fear washed over her.
"No. That is not true. It can't be. Bai Renxiang can't be missing. Noo!!" She said as tears pooled in her eyes.
Ye Chaoxiang could hear her words and ge could only sigh. Before he could say any other thing, the call got disconnected.
Toot Toot
"Sigh. She hung up on me," he said as he slumped down on his chair and massaged his temples.
"Girlfriend, right?" Yang Chen spoke.
"Yeah. I told about Bai Renxiang," Ye Chaoxiang said.
"Why did you tell her?" Yang Ch3n asked as he was puzzled.
"Because they are best friends. Almost like sisters to be exact. If she finds out eventually from someone else, she would never forgive me."
"I see. It is good that you called her then. Hey, where that boy, Li Fengjin?" Yang Chen asked as he looked around the office.
"He is taken a shower inside. Give me the clothes so that I can drop them for him," Ye Chaoxiang said as he stood up from his chair.
"Don't stress yourself out. I will do it," Yang Chen said.
"If you are so eager to see blood, I do not mind letting you go in," Ye Chaoxiang said.
"Hehe! You can take the stress. I will just be a good boy and wait here," Yang Chen laughed sheepishly.
"I thought so," Ye Chaoxiang chuckled before taking the bag in which the clothes were and went into the room.
Meanwhile, Ning Xiaozhi could not accept the news brought to her by her boyfriend. She walked into her office as if she had seen a ghost and it got her employees worried.
"Boss, are you alright?" One of them asked but Ning Xiaozhi did not answer.
On getting to her office, cried as she slid down the door. How could her best friend be missing? Why was it her? When was she kidnapped? Where? Who ordered her kidnapping.
Ning Xiaozhi kept questioning God knows who in her head. Her Bai Renxiang is such a pure soul that has experienced the wicked side of this world.
Has she not suffered enough? Who would be so heartless and cruel to kidnap Bai Renxiang? Ning Xiaozhi picked up her phone and called Jiang Meilin. She wanted to clarify what Ye Chaoxiang had told her.
Also, if Jiang Meilin's daughter was missing, she needs all the support she can get if she knows the news.
"Hello, Xiaozhi."
"Mrs Jiang. Is it true? Is... Is it true that.. that Renxiang is missing? Is it true that she was kidnapped?" Ning Xiaozhi asked between her sobs.
"I am sorry."
