"Yes, Mr. Lu," Xiaowang said confidently.
Lu Bancheng frowned slightly. "Did she go out for some fresh air because it was too stuffy in the room?"
"I'll go check on her." Xu Wennuan thought Lu Bancheng's speculation was reliable, so she stood up and ran out of the banquet hall in her high heels.
Xu Wennuan walked around the front yard but didn't see Qin Zhi 'ai, so she returned to the banquet hall.
It was a little cold outside, and she was wearing an off-the-shoulder dress. Her voice trembled when she asked, "Is Xiao 'ai still not back?"
Lu Bancheng shook his head.
Xiaowang also vaguely felt that something was wrong, so he stood up from the dining chair and said, "I'll go upstairs to check on her."
"Then I'll go to the backyard." Xu Wennuan called for a waiter to bring her down jacket, put it on, and trotted out of the banquet hall.
…
Xiaowang was afraid that Qin Zhi 'ai was asleep in the lounge and didn't hear his knock, so he called for a waiter, took out a master card, and swiped it to open the lounge door.
It was very quiet inside, and when he turned on the lights, there was no one in the room.
Xiaowang thanked the waiter and took the elevator back to the first floor. He hurriedly walked up to Lu Bancheng, but before he could speak, Lu Bancheng asked, "Is she there?"
Xiaowang shook his head and asked, "Is Miss Xu still not back?"
"Not yet …" Before Lu Bancheng could finish his sentence, Gu Yusheng, who had finished his work, walked over leisurely. Noticing the strange expressions on the two men's faces, Gu Yusheng slowed down his pace. As he continued to walk over, he asked casually, "What happened?"
"Master Gu, Secretary Qin is missing," Xiaowang answered truthfully.
"What do you mean missing?" Gu Yusheng's delicate eyebrows twitched slightly. Because he hadn't expected any accidents, he didn't quite understand what Xiaowang meant.
"Xiao 'ai said she was going to the bathroom about 15 minutes ago, but she hasn't come back yet. Her bag and cell phone are still there, so she shouldn't have left. Chauffeur Wang went to the lounge upstairs to check, but she wasn't there. Nuannuan also looked in the bathroom and outside, but she wasn't there. Now Nuannuan is in the backyard …" Lu Bancheng briefly described what had happened.
How could a perfectly fine person be nowhere to be found?
Gu Yusheng frowned and asked, "Did you check the club's closed-circuit TV?"
"Not yet …" With Gu Yusheng's reminder, Xiaowang immediately returned to his senses. "I'll go check it out now."
Before Xiaowang could return from checking on the closed-circuit television, Xu Wennuan rushed into the banquet hall with a pair of high heels in her hand. Ignoring the fact that there were many people in the room, she shouted at the top of her lungs, "Something must have happened to Xiao 'ai!"
Gu Yusheng hadn't sat down since he had arrived. When he heard Xu Wennuan's voice, he frowned. Just like Xu Wennuan, he immediately walked over to her, regardless of all the people watching them.
At the same time, Lu Bancheng stood up from his chair and followed closely behind Gu Yusheng.
"What happened?" A second after Gu Yusheng finished speaking, Lu Bancheng, who arrived a second later, also asked, "What's going on?"
"These are Xiao 'ai's shoes. I just found them in the backyard." Xu Wennuan must have run back in a hurry after finding the shoes, so her breathing was a little uneven.
