Chapter 133 - Where Is She
Outside the operation room.
Mo Cheng crossed his arms as he paced back and forth, occasionally looking up at the lights in the operation room. Three hours had passed, and the red emergency lights were still flashing.
South Bridge sat on a long chair, his arms wrapped around his stomach. His face was somewhat pale, and his eyes seemed to have landed on some place. He seemed to be very dispirited, and his thoughts floated about, thinking about something.
After pausing for a moment, Mo Cheng narrowed his eyes and looked at her. After some thought, he walked over and sat beside the South Bridge, "South Bridge, why don't you go back to the hotel first and let someone send you off?"
After a long journey, coupled with the sudden fright, the South Bridge still hadn't reacted, as if it hadn't heard Mo Cheng's words. The South Bridge didn't answer, and Mo Cheng reached out his hand to touch it, only to be startled.
Her hands were cold and not warm. The heating inside the room was sufficient, but South Bridge seemed to have stayed outside for a long time. It was frighteningly cold.
Mo Cheng was very worried, so he asked again, but there was no response from the South Bridge. Sitting outside the operation room, he recalled what happened in the ward just now. There were two little people constantly fighting and arguing inside his heart.
Mo Shaohai had no feelings for his father, but he could feel the warmth. However, he had abandoned his mother and him for so many years. In fact, he didn't even stay with his mother when she died.
However, just now when Mo Shaohai suddenly fell, South Bridge was more afraid than ever. She suddenly realised that Mo Shaohai was the closest person in this world to his.
With both hands pressing down on his abdomen, waves of cold pain assaulted him. Nan Qiao bit his lip, and his lips turned white. He didn't know how to face it.
Seeing this, Mo Cheng's face looked even more worried, "Nanqiao, are you not feeling well? Why are you so cold?"
"…"
"No, you have to go back and rest!" As he said this, Mo Cheng extended his hand to pull the South Bridge out of his seat.
When he finally regained his senses, he abruptly took a few steps back. Without batting an eyelid, he rubbed his sleeves with his fingers and asked, "Can you go and buy me some hot cocoa?"
"Huh?" Mo Cheng was stunned for a moment. Then, he recovered and acknowledged Zhang Xuan's words.
She was about to leave when she was pulled back by the South Bridge. Her head was almost buried in the ground. She was very embarrassed. She lowered her voice and said, "Can you buy me some sanitary napkins?"
Mo Cheng didn't hear the last three words clearly. He frowned and asked again, but in his heart, he just rolled his eyes, pointed at his butt and said, "I can't go now!"
Mo Cheng: "…"
On the other side of the Pacific Ocean.
City A.
In the Yu Family villa, Yu Cen Ran sat in the main seat of the restaurant. The dinner was a steak, and Yu Cen Ran's sleeves were loose and tied up, and she picked up a knife and fork, laid them out horizontally, and elegantly placed the sliced beef onto another plate.
At the rectangular white dining table, there was only one person left eating. The soft light of the crystal chandelier shone down from the top of his head. Yu Cen Ran was a little absent-minded as she suddenly thought of that woman's figure.
The cook, a new Michelin star chef, sprinkled a thin layer of chopped green onions on top of the steak. He frowned as he slowly pried the onions apart, thinking more and more about the South Bridge.
Unconsciously recalling the fact that the two of them had been divorced, Yu Cen Ran's eyebrows shot up as she lost her appetite. She put a cigarette on her lips and switched it on, off, on, back and forth with her long fingers.
At this moment, Housekeeper Zhang walked in, bowed to Yu Cen Ran, and said respectfully: "Young Master Yu, the courier has arrived."
Yu Cen Ran stroked the cigarette hanging from her lips as her eyebrows raised in displeasure. "What? Do you need me to personally receive a courier?"
Housekeeper Zhang: "No, the courier is a employee of a pet store. He just put down his suitcase at the door and carefully brought our family back."
He raised his wrist and glanced at the expensive watch on his wrist. It was almost ten o'clock, and this delivery delivery was really tiring. Yu Cen Ran's lips curved up into a sneer. She threw away her cigarette and walked towards the door.
Butler Zhang followed beside them and explained, "He said that Miss Nanqiao's house was empty. Considering that the two dogs belonged to the Yu family, he sent them back."
"No one?" Yu Cen Ran stopped and turned to look at Housekeeper Zhang. She pouted, "When did it happen?"
"Two hours ago, he said he called you back then and you didn't answer."
Yu Cen Ran put his hand into his suit pants pocket and took out his phone. He opened the screen to see that there were indeed several missed calls. He was busy looking through the documents and muted his phone so that he didn't hear or pay attention to anything.
His long fingers moved slightly, nimbly flipping through the contact book. He searched through the numbers one by one until his fingers stopped at the name of the South Bridge. He pressed and dialed.
The beep beeped for a minute, but no one answered.
Yu Cen Ran pursed her lips into a straight line. Her face was so dark that she was able to squeeze water out of it. She kept dialing one after another until she heard a notification sound of "The other side has shut down" from the other side.
South Bridge, this damned woman, why didn't you pick up the phone!
Feeling a wave of irritation, Yu Cen Ran put her phone back in her pocket, picked up the coat that she casually hung on the sofa, and walked towards the door with long legs.
Housekeeper Zhang was worried that it was already late, but seeing Yu Cen Ran's arm leaning on the wall of the hallway to change shoes, he didn't dare to say anything to stop him. He turned around and called for a few well-trained bodyguards to follow him.
The car sped all the way to the apartment area where the Nan family lived. The black Rolls-Royce flew past. The friction between the tires and the ground made a sharp sound.
The bodyguards who had followed him got off the car. One of them walked up to the door and knocked twice. No response came. Yu Cen Ran's impatience had reached its peak as he lifted his leg and kicked the door open.
In the middle of the night, someone complained, "Aiya, die! If you don't sleep, we'll still be sleeping!"
There were even some women who stuck their heads out, with curls and racks under their heads, acting like they were renting wives. They lowered their heads to look at Yu Cen Ran and the others and were still blabbering on and on.
Yu Cen Ran ignored the noise and stepped into the room.
The living room looked exactly the same as it did last time. The Nan Family was not rich to begin with, and the furnishings inside were even rarer. Yu Cen Ran walked into the room with quick steps, and with a single glance, his anger reached the skies!
He saw that the quilt was neatly folded on the bed and placed in the corner of the bed. It was very smooth, without any traces of wrinkles.
With his eyebrows raised, he walked over and opened the wardrobe with a 'shua' sound. Yu Cen Ran nodded her head and smiled coldly. Very good, this woman's wardrobe had been emptied!
You want to run? You don't even say hello?
His fury surged to his chest as his heart pounded. Yu Cen Ran gripped her phone tightly as anxiety appeared on her handsome and cold face. Her anger could not be hidden.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Yu Cen Ran clenched her fist and swept away everything on the bed. The lamp fell to the ground with a thud, shattering into pieces and scattering glass everywhere.
The burly man standing outside the door did not dare to breathe. Yu Cen Ran had already lost her sanity and was in a berserk state. Whoever dared to provoke him now would be courting death.
South Bridge is not here, not here
Where would she go?!
Outside the window were rolling dark clouds and a heavy snowstorm was about to fall. Yu Cen Ran went to all the places the South Bridge was likely to go. Even her colleagues from the Group Investment Division asked around about the Ace and Zhan Xin.
There was still nothing, not a trace.
The sudden disappearance of the South Bridge was a huge blow to him. Therefore, no matter how others tried to persuade him, he turned a deaf ear to them.
Twenty degrees below zero in the air, the streets were covered with a thin layer of ice, and it was easy for the tires to slip by, making it impossible for them to drive.
Zhan Xin was the most anxious of them all. She didn't even say a word when South Bridge suddenly disappeared. She regretted not accompanying South Bridge since she felt guilty during this special period of her divorce.
She took out her cell phone and made one call after another. Just like Yu Cen Ran, she did not receive any response. It was as if a living person had vanished from the world overnight …
The snow was getting heavier and heavier by the night. The few of them took turns to dissuade Yu Cen Ran. Her eyes were dark and cold like a Siberian current. Her Adam's apple bobbed up and down as she said, "Scram."
His voice was sinister, no different from the weather.
Zhan Xin licked her lips before bravely walking forward. Even though this wasn't the first time she had seen Yu Cen Ran lose her temper, at the very least, she hadn't been this frightened before.
Zhan Xin laughed dryly and braced herself. "Yu Cen Ran, you can't find a solution either. Calm down. Think about it carefully. Who else is familiar with the South Bridge? Maybe they went over to someone you know?"
Yu Cen Ran's expression was ice-cold. She didn't know how much she had heard. Zhan Xin continued, "Even if South Bridge was really hiding outside, we might not be able to find her in this cold weather. We'd better freeze ourselves!"
Yu Cen Ran's eyes narrowed dangerously. She was familiar with one more person and hehe!
At one o'clock in the morning, when the doorbell was pressed as if someone was taking his life, Huo Ting, wrapped in a thick nightgown, was met with a head-on punch the moment he opened the door. Caught off guard, Huo Ting took a few steps back and covered his nose with his hands.
Yu Cen Ran's Adam's apple bobbed up and down as he strode into the house. Huo Ting stepped forward to stop him, but he was caught off guard and almost got punched again. Luckily, he managed to avoid the attack.
"Yu Cen Ran, you're forcing your way into my house!"
Yu Cen Ran's gaze was deep and his face was full of malice. He took a step forward and grabbed Huo Ting's collar, gritting his teeth. "Tell me, is the South Bridge with you!"
