Yu Xi's throat was abruptly loosened as the air rushed into her nose and her lungs. She then fell to the ground and started to cough violently.
She tightly clutched the clothes in front of her chest, as if she was going to cough out her entire lungs. She felt as if all her internal organs had been ignited. Her throat was burning with a sharp pain, and her eyes were red.
Chen Yan lowered his eyes to look at Yu Xi who was on the ground, his face filled with disdain and pleasure. With a mocking smile, he casually used the tip of his shoe to step on the back of Yu Xi's hand, "Fight with me? Humph! We'll see! "
After saying that, he gave Yu Xi another vicious kick. Chen Yan then turned around and arrogantly left with those people. The warehouse door was opened and closed by them, followed by the sound of the door being locked.
The warehouse instantly quietened down. Under the dim light, Yu Xi looked at the locked door and knew that she wouldn't be able to get out. She didn't have the strength to get up either.
Having just received a series of punches and kicks from Chen Yan, at this moment, she only felt her entire body aching painfully, while the alcohol was still roaring in her body. She had been trying hard to maintain her consciousness, and after all this tossing and turning, she had also reached her limit.
She lightly coughed again. The piercing pain in her throat gradually lessened, and the burning sensation in her lungs also gradually subsided. Only then did she finally feel that her breathing had become smoother.
Looking at the bruise on her arm, she bit her lips. She didn't have enough time to cry out in pain, nor did she have the energy to think about how to leave this place. Her consciousness became fuzzy, and then she fell head first onto the ground, unconscious.
At the same time, her phone had already run out of battery. Yan Chen kept calling her, first unable to get through, then directly asking him to turn off his phone.
At this moment, he was sitting on the sofa in the darkness, clutching his mobile phone. His face was getting darker and his patience was wearing thin. He dialed Manager Lou's number expressionlessly.
"Director Yan?" It's so late and you haven't rested yet. Just speak whatever you have to say. " When he saw that it was Yan Chen's phone call, the manager's heart jumped. He didn't dare to hesitate and immediately picked it up.
"Heh, if it's me, do you take it as nonsense?" He spoke with a dark expression.
The manager was stunned by the question. He did not understand what the Buddha meant at the moment, so he mumbled dizzily, "Director Yan, what do you mean …" Why don't I understand... I've been following your instructions all along... How could I dare to ignore your exhortation? "
"Really?" Why would Yu Xi accompany him? "Hmm?" Yan Chen narrowed his eyes as a cold aura surrounded him.
"Huh?" The manager just sat there in a daze. If he was accompanying Golden Lun Ze, how come he didn't know about it? However, he naturally knew that his words were not baseless. Only something that had truly happened would make Yan Chen coldly question him.
He frowned and explained somewhat anxiously, "Director Yan, I didn't make such arrangements. I didn't know that Yu Xi would be sent to accompany Director Jin …"
"I don't want an explanation. Is it useful for you to explain it to me?" I'm just looking at the results. " Yan Chen was impatient to hear his explanation. He frowned and interrupted him.
The manager immediately understood the seriousness of the situation. Yu Xi, who had been told to take care of Yu Xuan when she first came to the restaurant, was now in such a mess.
If he were to reprimand him for this, he would not be able to handle it. He could not help but tremble slightly and carefully nodded and bowed towards the phone in apology.
"I'm sorry Director Yan, it's my fault for not taking care of Zhou, it's all my fault. Director Yan, don't be anxious, I'll go find someone to take a look and I'll definitely find out what happened."
Yan Chen impatiently reached out and pinched the center of his brows. With a cold and sinister voice, he said, "Speak so much useless nonsense. I can't contact her now. Hurry up and send someone to look for her." Then, without waiting for the manager's reply, he slammed the phone down on the tea table.
He also did not know what was wrong with him. Unable to contact Yu Xi, he was unaccountably irritated. The irritation was getting worse and worse, and he could not suppress the worry rising in his heart. He could not calm down.
When he realized this, he frowned even more, but he was not in the mood to wonder why this was happening. He only thought of Yu Xi, who was nowhere to be found, and of her dreamy voice on the last phone call, and he could not sit still. He cursed under his breath, stood up abruptly, grabbed his coat, and strode out.
As the manager listened to the hung up the phone, his heart tensed up. There was no time for him to ponder over it. He quickly grabbed the landline and instructed the people below to find Yu Xi as soon as possible.
After hanging up the phone, he paced back and forth in the office, feeling uneasy and on the verge of collapse. Thinking of his gloomy face, he couldn't bear the pain anymore, so he gritted his teeth and left the office.
Not long after, the manager stood in the hall of the famous building, looking at his subordinates shaking his head, saying that he couldn't find them, and the anxiety in his heart was driving him crazy. Just as he was about to ask them questions, suddenly, he saw a figure appear at the entrance.
His pace was very fast, as if he was walking in the wind. The manager was stunned for a moment, then quickly went up to greet him, bowing as he asked in a low voice, "Director Yan, why have you come personally?"
Yan Chen stopped in his tracks and cast a cold look at him without any expression. His thin lips slowly parted, and he said with a cold voice that seemed to come from underground, "Have you found her?"
Being intimidated by his extremely cold voice, the manager could not help but tremble. His heart was agitated, afraid that he would do something terrible if he were to be angered.
He broke out in a cold sweat and dared not explain anything. He just kept apologizing with his head lowered, "Sorry, Director Yan, please calm down. We haven't found the person yet, but we're almost there.
Yan Chen coldly swept his gaze over the people standing in front of him and asked in a low voice, "Where are you looking? Where are you not looking?"
"This …" The manager wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He looked up at Yan Chen with a shaky face and signaled the people beside him to hurry up and answer.
A man standing on the side hurriedly lowered his head and answered respectfully, "I've already searched through all the rooms, as well as the rest rooms and washrooms on each floor. Currently …" We haven't found any yet … " After saying that, he raised his head and stole a glance at Yan Chen's cold and stern face.
