Chapter 140 - 58: Zheng Qi Disappears, 500,000 to Find Her, 1,000,000 to Bring Her Back
"Wait a second." Jiang Li patted Shen Yanzhi on the arm and said in a low voice, "Ask Lu Zhi’an for a photo of Zheng Qi."
Shen Yanzhi immediately called Lu Zhi’an. "Send over a photo of Zheng Qi."
Although Lu Zhi’an didn’t know what Shen Yanzhi wanted the photos for, he figured he had his reasons. He picked out several from his photo album. "I’ve sent them over."
Shen Yanzhi immediately forwarded them to Jiang Li and replied to Lu Zhi’an, "Alright, wait for the results."
Upon receiving the photos, Jiang Li forwarded them with a single tap and then typed away on her phone. "I’ve sent you the name and photos. Have your people find her as soon as possible."
Xue Fan could only promise, "Half an hour, at the earliest."
He paused, then added, "But to have them find someone, it’s 500,000 at a minimum."
Without a second thought, Jiang Li transferred 500,000 over. "Transferred."
Hanging up the phone, she grabbed Shen Yanzhi’s arm. "Do you think Zheng Qi is okay?"
Shen Yanzhi couldn’t be one hundred percent sure if Zheng Qi was alright, but with Jiang Li pregnant, he could only say, "She should be fine."
Jiang Li couldn’t help but pace around the room, her lips pressed together and her face tense. She kept trying to call Zheng Qi.
Finally, her calls stopped going through.
She couldn’t tell if the battery had died or if someone had deliberately turned it off, and her heart leaped into her throat.
Worried that Jiang Li’s anxiety would affect the baby, Shen Yanzhi placed his hands on her shoulders. "Why don’t you go take a shower first? Worrying here won’t help."
Jiang Li wanted to argue, but what Shen Yanzhi said was true.
She sighed. "Okay."
’Showering alone might be difficult for a pregnant woman,’ he thought. ’It was one thing when I didn’t know, but now that I do...’ He couldn’t help but ask, "Want me to help?"
Jiang Li’s anxiety was suddenly replaced by shyness. "No! I can do it myself!"
Even though the two of them had been intimate long ago, she still couldn’t accept the idea of Shen Yanzhi helping her bathe.
With that, she strode into the walk-in closet, grabbed a set of pajamas, and went into the shower room.
Afraid of missing a message, Jiang Li didn’t even wash her hair. She just took a quick, haphazard shower and returned to the bedroom in her pajamas.
The moment she came out, her phone’s ringtone echoed through the room. She hurried over to it.
A look at the caller ID showed it was Xue Fan.
"Boss, I’ve found Zheng Qi’s exact address. I’ve sent it to you on WeChat."
Jiang Li couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. Whether something had happened or not, at least they had a specific address now. She didn’t have to be on pins and needles anymore.
"Okay, thanks."
After hanging up, she opened WeChat, clicked on her chat with Xue Fan, and forwarded the location to Lu Zhi’an.
After a moment’s thought, she still felt uneasy. "Why don’t we go over there too?"
Shen Yanzhi asked, "Are you sure?"
Jiang Li nodded. "Mhm, I’m sure."
She then explained, "Besides being our college classmate, she’s also the girl your buddy has a crush on. We can’t just stand by and do nothing."
Shen Yanzhi let out a heavy breath. "If those two actually end up together, we’ll have to make Lu Zhi’an give us a huge red envelope."
Jiang Li felt that deeply. "Absolutely."
’Those two aren’t even together yet, and it’s already cost 500,000.’
’If they do get together in the end, we absolutely have to get a huge red envelope from Lu Zhi’an.’
As they were going downstairs, she set up the GPS and discovered that Zheng Qi was actually over 800 kilometers away, and near the border at that.
Jiang Li asked with a worried expression, "Ah Yan, you don’t think something has really happened to Zheng Qi, do you?"
Shen Yanzhi’s expression was grim. "We don’t know yet, but it’s very likely."
Jiang Li stopped in her tracks and quickly called Xue Fan.
"Since your friend was able to find her precise location, can you have them bring her back? Money is not an issue."
"It’s possible, but that will cost another 100,000."
Jiang Li sighed silently, but the money had to be paid.
She completed the transaction on her phone. "The money’s been transferred. When can she be brought back?"
Xue Fan couldn’t guarantee anything else, but he could promise, "You will definitely see her by tomorrow morning."
"Alright, no problem."
Hanging up, she pinched the bridge of her nose and said wearily, "Call your buddy now, before he foolishly drives all the way over there."
After all, it wasn’t one or two hundred kilometers, but over 800. The drive would take a good ten hours or so.
