205 Gentle Gestures (1/2)

An hour later from the meeting Li Yuan sat on his office desk. He wasn't going to let Li Qiang sit on it unless he as sure, Li Qiang wasn't one of them.

He cherished his brother but he wouldn't let it slide if he was betraying him. There were no ties in this world that survived the encounter of betrayal!

Right now Li Qiang was sent back still oblivious to his plans. There was no clue pointing at him so it was easy to say he was off the hook for now.

An awaited knock resounded on the front door, straying his thoughts and seconds later Fan Bingbing entered his office followed by a hastily running Ji Zhou.

He stepped forward unconsciously shielding Fan Bingbing from his Boss wrath that was going to leash on them on his report. Li Yuan noticed the gesture but didn't react.

Ji Zhou kept a file on the desk and solemnly spoke, ”Sir...Sir, they have disappeared off the radars since Miss Lei's disappearance.”

Li Yuan raised an eyebrow at him questioningly about how did it go unnoticed.

He took a protective step back, ”Sir, it has nothing to do with our investigation, we have been discrete.” He assuringly glanced at Fan Bingbing before turning to hIs Boss, ”Our best assumption is they suspect Miss Lei may sell them out for the freedom to her captors and that is why they have disappeared.”

There were possibilities but they were still showing up at places that required their presence to not let the suspicion raise.

Yu Wang and Jiang Cheng are away on the pretext of mourning and recovering on vacations but still, they showed up in meetings and family gatherings. They are not living in their Bachelor's pad for a month and a half now.

Su Qianwei whose sole location was unconfirmed did too show up at his place from time to time. In her case, she would be showing up at his door sooner than later. She was persistent so he just had to be patient and wait for her to come at his doors again.

Now either he could wait for Jiang Cheng and Yu Wang to show up at any place or he could hunt them down. He preferred hunting good dogs.

Yu Youhan could be damned for all he cared, but he wasn't going to stand in front of him. If those two turn out to be Lei's he will make sure they are treated how they are known for treating traitors.

They stood in their lines for years pretending to fight with them when they were informed well enough that all the while they were the ones all the wars were against!

Li Yuan seethed at the burn of betrayal. He preferred an enemy that played fair instead of a serpent that betrayed him in his own lines and he treated them such.

They will pay for it!

They had seen his friendship and kinship, what they hadn't seen is his enmity! They know how to stand with him well, now the time will show if they know how to stand against him.

”Locate them, I will pay them a visit myself.” Li Yuan gritted and clenched his fists.

In the mountainside in a secluded area Yu Wang drove his heavy bike past the stony pathways in a steady fast pace, he didn't need a map to get through the thick forest, it was his peculiar maze, his sanctuary.
