The Big Boss His Dainty Wife

Chapter 449: Chapter 449 The sound of returning footsteps_1

Dongfang Zujie kept his silence and Hai Xiaotang had no choice but to stop asking.

He was right. If Dongfang Yu can’t deal with these people, then they certainly can’t, and they wouldn’t even be able to contact them.

No wonder Dongfang Yu decided to cooperate with the Wen Family…

He Meilian voiced her worries, “How could this not be of concern to us? Yuyu has been involved!”

Dongfang Zujie looked serious, “Although we’re involved, we’re simply insignificant roles in this. Of course, the risk is high, so all we can do is pray that we can get through this crisis.”

It’s easy to say, but everyone knew.

To get through cleanly would be difficult…

Yet, they couldn’t do anything.

They had no idea what specifically had happened or where Dongfang Yu was. They were at a total loss about what to do.

They also dared not blindly do anything for fear that they might make matters worse.

All they could do now was to gather information and act accordingly.

This task naturally fell to Dongfang Zujie.

He Meilian asked Hai Xiaotang to stay in the Dongfang Mansion, so they could discuss matters together if anything came up.

Hai Xiaotang didn’t object and agreed to stay.

Only here, could she hear about Dongfang Yu’s news firsthand…

…

Hai Xiaotang was staying in Dongfang Yu’s old room.

She leaned against the head of the bed, continuously dialing Dongfang Yu’s number on her phone.

[Sorry, the number you’ve dialed is currently switched off…]

The mechanical, unchanging female voice on the other end of the phone.

Even that personal number was unreachable…

When Dongfang Yu left, he told her, if anything happened, to call the number that was exclusive for her.

But now, that number is also unreachable.

So, Dongfang Yu, what exactly happened to you?

Please, don’t be in any danger…

Hai Xiaotang didn’t sleep all night. Until dawn, she fell into a jumbled doze.

But very quickly, she was startled awake!

Because she seemed to have heard people talking downstairs…

Hai Xiaotang immediately rolled off the bed to check out the situation.

The result was a great disappointment, all who arrived were people from the Dongfang Family. They had heard that something had happened to Dongfang Yu and all came to inquire.

But Hai Xiaotang herself didn’t know the specifics…

All they knew was that Dongfang Yu was in big trouble.

As for what big trouble it was, nobody knew…

…

A week sped by in a blink of an eye.

There was still no news from Dongfang Yu, and Hai Xiaotang couldn’t find him.

The police searched once again but still returned unsuccessful.

Dongfang Yu seemed to have disappeared suddenly, without a trace. Every night, Hai Xiaotang had nightmares dreaming of him in danger.

Another evening, Hai Xiaotang had yet another nightmare!

Wakened from her sleep, Hai Xiaotang could no longer hold back her tears. As she was crying, she seemed to hear Dongfang Yu’s footsteps coming back.

Listening closely, it really seemed like him…

Hai Xiaotang’s heart pounded, she hastily got out of bed, forgetting to wear her shoes as she ran out of the door…

The lights in the living room were on, but it was empty. Nobody was there.

Hai Xiaotang opened the main door, and there was no one in the courtyard, either.

Nothing but the cool night breeze passing through…

And the silent, thick of the night.

Disappointment welled up in Hai Xiaotang’s eyes. She didn’t feel like sleeping and just sat in the living room, dazed in her thoughts.

Then, He Meilian also came downstairs…
