Chapter 479 - Leave Me Alone (1/2)

“Young Master Yan, we will rely on you negotiating with Xia Family.” Seeing Shen Mo leave, other share-holders all turned to look at Shen Yan. If he gave a nod, they could leave, too.

Shen Mo was slightly stunned when he just came to the door. He felt terrible in his heart. Whether Shen Yan was in a relationship with Xia Yu or not, Xia Yu, in terms of her character, would hold justice in dealing with this matter with Shen Yan definitely if he really contacted her.

It meant that the cooperation with Xia Family would go smoothly. Shen Mo really couldn’t figure out why on earth his mother resolutely held this meeting with others. To give that lad a chance to show off?

Just as he expected, Shen Yan gave them an exact answer. “No problem. It’s my duty.”

“Shen Yan has promised. Any other problems? If not, let’s call it a day.” Yang Weiye looked around the meeting room and then said.

After a while, Yang Weiye declared that the meeting was over. Just at this time, Shen Yan’s phone rang. It was from Liu Sijie. “Young Master Yan, bad news! Madame Zeng’s assistant, Li Mei, is missing.”

Missing? Shen Yan jumped up from his chair out of astonishment at once. “Where did it happen?”

What Shen Yan said made those share-holders present feel stunned. Seeing Shen Yan look serious, they all wondered what happened to Tengfei on earth and whether it was related to Shen Mo.

Their suspicious eyes made First Madame feel unhappy, so she couldn’t help humming twice. Then everyone took back the eyes. They all listened to Shen Yan carefully and wanted to know more information.

But Shen Yan didn’t give them the chance. He just said to Liu Sijie, “Send me the address. I’ll come over to you at once.”

Shen Yan went out of the meeting room with strides. It was darker outside, and the gentle breeze could be felt.

He stood at the exit of the building in the wind for a while and then searched for Madame Zeng’s number in his phonebook. When he was about to dial, a call from Liu Sijie popped up on his screen. Shen Yan answered it after he gathered up his mind.

“There is a clue to Li Mei.”

“I have arrived as well. Let’s talk about it later.” Shen Yan looked up and walked over quickly. Liu Sijie stubbed out his cigarette and came forward.

Shen Yan asked directly, “Where’s she?”

Liu Sijie answered at once, “In the room.”

“Which room?”

“The innermost room on the second floor.”

Shen Yan headed for the hotel with strides. Liu Sijie hesitated for a second in situ and then followed up.

Though the sign at the door showed that it was a three-star one, its interior decoration looked a little old. It was a four-story building with no elevator. Shen Yan climbed up the stairs. He walked through a long corridor and found the innermost room, the door of which was closed.

He knocked at the door. There was no reply. He kept knocking, but no one answered.

“Li Mei, are you in the room?” Shen Yan began patting on the door.

No one answered after he waited for a while. Shen Yan’s heart jolted slightly. Then he turned around and went downstairs.

Liu Sijie did not dare to slight. He could only follow him all the way. “Where are you going?”

Shen Yan walked in haste. His action was swift and fierce. “Go to the front desk and get the room card.”

Small hotels did not have so many strict regulations, so he got the room card easily. These two people went upstairs again and opened the door, only to find that the room was cheerless and cold without a light on. The only light in the dark space came through the window. The curtains were open, and the wind outside blew in, which made the curtains whip the wall constantly.

Shen Yan looked around the dark room and finally saw a figure curling up on the floor near the bed, who did not seem to have any reaction to their entering as if she was lost in another world alone.

“Assistant Li!”

Liu Sijie wanted to approach her, but Shen Yan stopped him. “How did you find her?”

“You just asked me to protect their safety. I found that she didn’t live with Madame Zeng, so I reminded her that she should take care. But she said that she was just an assistant, and it was unnecessary to be cautious. Out of concern, I got some people to protect her around her residence. But she found it, and she secretly booked a room here to avoid us. Later, I got another two people to guard here. However, she disappeared at noon today, and we couldn’t find her anywhere. Later, a waitress at the hotel told me that she came back and stayed in the room all the time.” Liu Sijie told Shen Yan all he knew.

“When did she come back?”

“About five o’clock.”

“How did she come back?”

“She was sent here by car.” Liu Sijie heard it from the waitress, but those people sent by him to protect her didn’t see the car. “I did not believe it at first, but after I checked the monitoring record of the hotel, I found that it was true.”

Shen Yan frowned, and his face darkened. She was sent back secretly by someone, which meant that the person who picked her up was good at it. “Did you see what that person looked like?”

“I just saw a man wearing sunglasses and a cap. I couldn’t see his face clearly.”

“What’s the plate number?”

“There’s no license plate!”

There was some disappointment in Shen Yan’s eyes. He cast one more look at Li Mei who was curling up on the floor. It seemed that she was quite scared. Shen Yan looked very gloomy and took a seat on the side while Liu Sijie withdrew from the room silently and closed the door for him when he left.

The room became quiet again. Li Mei still sat there motionlessly, holding her curved knees with her arms and bending over with her head buried in her knees. Shen Yan could only see her black hair.
