Chapter 174 - What Is She Doing?

SCANDALOUS LIFE OF XIA FAMILY, FROM ADULTERY TO DRUG. DRAGGING THE GUAN INTO THEIR MESS? Read to find out.

"What the hell? The title is trashy," Wang Kai first commented as he clicked the read more letters. 

Jian Jun got immersed in the passage soon after Guan Xian, leaving Ji Cun Xi observing Guan Xian's complementing face. Both of his eyebrows raised as he asked, "What's the matter? You don't look-prepared- grounded-? what's the word to describe you?"

"Guessing," Guan Xian replied curtly, turning around to the big window. 

Jian Jun looked up from the phone, his gaze travel to Guan Xian's back as he narrowed his eyes. 

"You do know this going to affect the stock somehow, right? People prefer buying a story rather than focusing on the company's fundamentals." 

Wang Kai pressed his finger against his lower lips as he looked at the rows of words on his screen. 

"It's rather complex. Some said you bribe and pay so Xia Sha could get away from the charge so fast. They also bring up the Xpods matter. The global market did not live up to its claim and motto. As long as you are a beauty, either is work or love, you won't miss a thing," Wang Kai quotes the last sentence in the article. 

"No matter how I read it, it sounds so deliberate. Did Xia Sha publish it herself?" Jian Jun comment. 

Guan Xian smiles upon hearing Jian Jun's remark. His tongue roll on the side of his cheek. 

"You are smart indeed," Guan Xian praised Jian Jun. 

Ji Cun Xi, who hear the conversation from the side, furrowed his eyebrow in wonder. 

"She wanted to clear her name but dragging everyone with her. And you aren't even angry at her? What are you? A fool?" 

"Stop being so cynical. You are the biggest fool of four," Wang Kai chuckled at Ji Cun Xi, who is throwing a dirty glare at him right now.

"Shut up! The joke is on you," Ji Cun Xi throws some pillow towards Wang Kai. 

"At least I got the girl," Wang Kai catches the pillow coming in his way and shot Ji Cun Xi a mocking gaze. 

"Oh, please, I'm the only one between three clowns. Now can we focus on the matters? I hope this matter won't affect my election," Jian Jun said straightforwardly to Guan Xian. 

Guan Xian was rendered speechless he rolls his eyes. 

"Then you should stop hanging out with us. You know my sister and Wang Kai is the biggest headline maker of this century. That is the risk you willing to take ever since you joining the F4," Guan Xian answer with his usual careless manner. 

Wang Kai, Ji Cun Xi, and Jian Jun groaned at the same time. They shot Guan Xian a dagger look. 

"Can you stop with the F4 name already? It's killing me!" Ji Cun Xi protested. 

"Don't ever call us by that name again. It's so cringy that I wanted to kill you," Wang Kai pressed his lips into an irritated line. 

"Shut up! I'll kill you right now," Jian Jun frowned. 

"Whatever, I'm still going by that name," Guan Xian murmured, did not even care about the murderous aura his friend is giving him right now. 

Something is bothering his heart, but he set it aside as soon as he talked to the boys. They went back to their room after a short conversation and get ready for work. Everything seems to be typical Monday morning for Guan Xian.

As Wang Kai has predicted, the Guan corporation's stock got affected by the news. But it's not something so dire that it breaks the strong support line. 

Everything stills under Guan Xian's control. The company just got a little bit busier than usual days. Well, he does need to soothe the board director's anger. But as soon as he showed the Xia corporation's Xpods selling report, the board of sly director had nothing to say anymore. 

It's an almost overwhelming day for Guan Xian. And it gets more obdurate when everything Guan Xian does, he thinks of Xia Sha. His hand had been itching to pull out his phone and called Xia Sha. 

So when he finally overcome the Monday crisis, he decided to call his sweetheart. With a boyish grin decorating his face. Guan Xian is excitedly waiting for her to pick up. 

Xia Sha did not answer the first call. 

It's alright, Guan Xian told himself. Maybe she is busy. 

Tang Yu Bin comes with a pile of the document he needs to read and sign. Guan Xian forces himself to drown into the documents reluctantly. 

After two hours went by, Guan Xian once again checked his phone. Xia Sha hasn't yet called him back, but she left his message on the read. Guan Xian furrowed his eyebrow and bombarded Xia Sha with a spam text. 

Xia Sha did not reply, and the chat only shows one check. It means his text undelivered, or Xia Sha did not has any signals. Guan Xian's heart suddenly dropped to the cold floor. 

"PA Tang! Come to my office after contacting Ren Wu and Tu Yu," Guan Xian said to his office phone that he picked up with his left hand while his phone occupied his right hand. 

He gritted his teeth when his call never reaches Xia Sha. He felt his whole soul evaporated into the air from his fuming anger. He almost crushes his phone against the wall at one point. 

"Boss!" Ren Wu called Guan Xian as soon as he enters the office. A smile is pestering his friendly face, contradicting Tang Yu Bin's worried face and Tu Yu's cold appearance. 

Guan Xian averted his gaze from his phone to Ren Wu. He looked fierce with two eyebrow-raising up in the most nerve-racking way. 

"Find out Xia Sha location right now. Along with Meng Ran, Pang Ze Tian, Xia Xiang, and that impersonator. Oh, also some of her friends, Zheng Shuang, Kai Xin, and Ruan Jing Tian. Give me a report as soon as possible," Guan Xian ordered as he pointed out two advanced laptops on the guest table. 

Ren Wu and Tu Yu did not waste any time. They carried out Guan Xian's order seriously. Even the smile on Ren Wu's face has disappeared now. 

Guan Xian contacted Xiao Ni to asked about Xia Sha's whereabout as Xia Sha should be staying with Guan Xiao Ni yesterday night.

"What happens? Why do you sound so nervous? Did I make trouble for the company last night?"

"No. Xia Sha did not pick up. I thought she is staying in the hotel with you. Is she?" Guan Xian sounds hopeful as he waited for Xiao Ni's answer.

Please be with Xiao Ni. Please be with Xiao Ni. 

Guan Xian's mind is chanting quietly along with Xiao Ni's 'err-.'

"Xia Sha? Brother, I woke up alone this morning. There is no Xia Sha in my room. I think she left as soon as I drifted into sleep," Xiao Ni's murmured as soon as she answered Guan Xian's question.

"Crap!"

Guan Xiao Ni's answer makes Guan Xian got even more anxious. 

"Why? What happen?" 

"I don't know. Xia Sha's phone is not active since the morning. None of her family and the closest friend picked up my call. I tried to call Yu Bin's number, but it didn't go through them either," Guan Xian let out a frustrated groaned as he wipes his face roughly. 

"Has you tried call aunty Shen?" Xia Sha said after a short period of silence. 

"I will, after this," Guan Xian decided and called off the call with Xiao Ni that instant. He rushed to find Shen Xia Fei's contact on his phone, but Ren Wu had dropped a big stone into his chest before he could. 

"Boss! A ticket to the United States under Ms.Xia Sha's name. It took off one hour ago."

Ren Wu's announcement got Guan Xian run toward him in a flash. He rotates the laptop toward him so he could read the information himself. 

Guan Xian cursed with a furrowed eyebrow as soon as he finished reading. He clenched his phone tightly. Displeasure filled his darkened face.

Ren Wu, Tu Yu, and Tang Yu Bin never saw Guan Xian looks this terrifying. 

Not even when something happens to Ms. Guan Xiao Ni.

Sure, Guan Xian would be anxious when Ms. Guan Xiao Ni crossed into danger. But he never failed to stay calm and think clearly. But right now, Guan Xian looks as if he could lose his mind at any second. 

Noe, even Tu Yu, that secretly observed Guan Xian's gesture as he about to read another shocking piece of information. 

"What is she doing?" Guan Xian said. His eyes are full of anger. 

Seeing the storm unravel slowly from losing control Guan Xian, Tu Yu takes a nervous gulp. He expected the worst as he read the information he finds to Guan Xian.

"Boss, it said Ms.Xia went with Mr.. Ruan Jing Tian."
