The celebratory feast started with a lot of people. Other than the staff of the two companies, there were also other partners.

Li Quan arranged for people to bring Li Shinian over, and since he could not leave, he could only stay and chat with the customer.

Seeing that it was almost time, but he did not see Li Shinian coming over, he called over the waiter and asked, "Go and help me look for Miss Li."

Not long after, the waiter returned.

"Mr Li, there was a problem with the circuit just now and it is currently in a rush to repair it. Our Villa's people went over to pick up the Miss Li, but we did not see anyone from the Miss Li even after entering the house."

The waiter's voice became softer and softer, as if he was afraid that Li Quan would scold him.

When Li Quan heard that there was a problem with the electricity and she had disappeared, his face changed greatly. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

He was wary of the situation and did not go on a rampage. He stuffed the champagne glass into the waiter's hand and walked out of the restaurant with large strides.

He couldn't care less if he should stay and explain it to everyone, so he hurried out.

He started to regret, he shouldn't have placed Li Shinian at such a remote address so easily. He thought that Li Shinian was able to take care of him, and that he took the security of the Villa too seriously.

With the power cut and her alone in such a remote corner, would she be afraid?

The more he thought about it, the more anxious Li Quan became.

The moment he stepped out, the rest of the people behind him started discussing. They were all guessing why Li Quan had changed his face so quickly, and why he was running so fast.

Zhu Jiangci, who was originally aloof and indifferent to the matter, darkened his eyes when he saw Li Quan's anxious look as he left.

When he told Lin Yan to go investigate, he found out that there was a power cut at the place Li Shinian stayed at. Now that he was gone, Li Quan left in a hurry.

"CEO?" Lin Yan saw that after he finished speaking, Zhu Jiangci was looking down towards the banquet hall with an unreadable expression.

"Go and comfort the others, don't make them unhappy." He was becoming more and more uninterested in these kinds of people having their complicated banquets.

It was just that this time, the main character of the celebratory feast was the two companies, even Li Quan had come, so it would not be good for him not to come.

After showing his face, he went upstairs to hide.

As for Su Qiao An, she had just recovered from her serious illness. It would be better for her to not participate in such a lively event to help her recover. If they were too similar in appearance, they would inevitably be criticized by others.

"Oh …" Before Lin Yan could regain his senses, Zhu Jiangci had already left.

He chased after her in a hurry, "CEO, where are you going?"

"I'll go over and see if the person has been found. You stay behind and take charge." Zhu Jiangci walked extremely fast, and not long after, he left Lin Yan behind.

Seeing that Zhu Jiangci had also left, Lin Yan slowly slowed down his steps, and asked puzzledly: "That is Li Quan's fiancee, and not someone like the CEO, why would the CEO come over to watch the show?"

When Li Quan rushed over, the electricity had not yet been completely switched on. It was just that the people of the Villa had managed to think of a way to light the lamp up temporarily so that it could barely illuminate the surrounding area.

Indeed, there was no one in the room. Not only that, there was no one in the surroundings either.

They called out and looked, but still no one answered.

Just as his heart was burning with anxiety, Zhu Jiangci arrived.

He took a look at the chaotic scene and asked, "Still haven't found the person?"

"No, I don't know where she ran off to," Li Quan thought. She must have been scared because the electricity stopped, so she ran out by herself.

"Don't tell me that Miss Li went into the forest?"

"Don't talk nonsense! If that's really the case, then everyone in our villa will be in for a bad time! "

Zhu Jiangci heard someone whispering.

He searched the crowd before finally focusing his gaze on the two people who were still moving their things.

He walked closer and said coldly, "What forest?"

The two of them were so shocked that they threw away their things. Seeing that it was Zhu Jiangci, they avoided eye contact and only shook their heads.

Zhu Jiangci lost his patience, "Let me ask you again, what forest are you talking about?"

Those who came here tonight were all distinguished guests, especially the man in front of her.

Their manor had been given an emergency training long before they came here, so as to not cause any trouble tonight.

So, they also knew that the person in front of them was not to be trifled with.

One of them tremblingly answered, "Yes …" In the past, the villagers here did not dare to enter the forest, and said that there was something bad inside, so our villa was built but not able to enter the forest. I think that in the vicinity, we could not find the Miss Li, and it might have been because the electricity stopped, that the Miss Li lost his direction, and accidentally ran into that forest … "

"West?" Zhu Jiangci frowned, "Lead the way."

"I can't accept it!" Young Master Chu, we really cannot go there … "

"If she's really over there and none of us is going over, how are you going to make her come out?" Zhu Jiangci did not think too much into it. His top priority right now was to find the person he was looking for.

The two of them looked at each other. You push me, I push you, I'm not willing to bring Zhu Jiangci over.

It was still Zhu Jiangci who coldly said that if something were to happen to someone, their entire Villa would end up suffering, and only then would they bring that person over.

When they left, no one bothered to greet Li Quan either, because the scene was too chaotic.

When they reached the intersection of the woods, the two refused to enter.

Zhu Jiangci did not make things difficult for them, he only took the flashlight from them, "Go back and ask them to send more people over, if they cannot find them in two hours, call the police."

The two of them nodded their heads as though they were pounding garlic.

Zhu Jiangci walked in alone with the flashlight, and was not too afraid.

As they walked, they shouted out Li Shinian's name.

The night was windy and cold.

The wind whistled in the forest, sounding eerie.

He walked in for a while, but there was no echo.

He was still wondering if the person hadn't come to his house yet, when he suddenly heard some noise.

"I'm here!"

The voice was small, but it was barely recognizable as a woman's voice.

Zhu Jiangci tried to call Li Shinian by name.

"I'm here!"

This time he listened with rapt attention, and finally heard the answer clearly.

It's her!

It's Li Shinian!

To be able to reply meant that he was clear-headed and that nothing had happened to him. It could be that he was unfamiliar with the road and had wandered around in the dark. Thus, he accidentally ran into the wrong place and got lost.

He continued to call out Li Shinian's name as he tried his best to determine the location of her current location based on the way she answered his question.

This forest was indeed a place where very few people came in. The dense thicket of brambles and tall plants blocked his way. He picked up a thick and sturdy tree trunk, crushing all the obstructing plants as he walked inside.
