46 Adventurous (1/2)
”It's connecting, don't say anything stupid or I will hit you,” Dongmei's mother called out the moment the watch started shifting and the hologram appeared in front of them. Her husband could only sigh, thinking about what made him want to marry such tigress, but then saw how sexy she still looked after all those years, getting his answer right away.
”Dear? Are you there?” Seeing the hologram showed the image of their daughter apartment, the caring voice of a mother was transmitted across the globe. But unfortunately, nothing followed after that and no one answered her.
Guan Dong waved with his hand, signalling the camera to move to the sides but they still didn't notice anyone there. Dongmei was nowhere to be seen.
”Maybe she is taking a shower?” The mature lady called out worriedly, trying to find a reason for that, but her husband quickly overthrown it, saying with a frown, ”No, the watch is waterproof and I told her to never take it down, even in the shower. Something must have happened…”
Guan Dong didn't hesitate and quickly picked out a phone, dialling to Dongmei's guards as soon as he could, anxiousness clearly visible on his face. He was the person who always thought of the worst possible outcome as the most probable so that he could prepare for the worst and prevent it.
Right now, in his mind, his sweet little daughter was kidnapped and he had to save her. Even his wife knew that it was definitely possible, knowing their status in this world, so she didn't say anything, letting her husband find out. She knew he wouldn't waste time in these matters.
The moment, the guards outside of Dongmei's apartment heard the familiar ringtone they set for their employer, their faces paled, but they didn't hesitate to take the phone and pick up the call.
What they heard right away was a domineering cry of a protective father, asking one question, ”Where is my daughter!?”
The guards we clearly scared, hearing the angry tone of their boss' voice and quickly replied, stuttering at the start, ”S-sir… Miss is staying in her apartment right now…”
”What do you mean she is in the apartment! Go and check! She is not there!” Guan Dong shouted from the other side of the call, alerting the guards momentarily. They were standing in front of their miss apartment the whole time, there was no way she would sneak away.
Knock, knock, knock!
They quickly knocked hard on the doors calling out to their miss, ”Miss, are you there?!” Hearing no response, their faced paled even more and they quickly pulled out their spare keys to the doors which they were given by their boss, entering the living room in a hurry.
The guards checked each room but didn't find Dongmei anywhere which almost made their souls jump out of their bodies. One of them even muttered under his breath in disbelief, ”She is not here…”
”Of course she is not fucking here! I have eyes!” The angry voice of their boss spread loudly through the room from the watch and Guan Dong questioned them without wasting time, ”How long ago have you seen her?!”
”Boss… It was about thirty-five minutes ago since Miss returned to her apartment and she didn't leave it since.” The guard quickly replied, seeing how badly they might have fucked up.
”Was anyone else in her room? Did she meet anyone today? Did she have contact with anyone new recently?” Guan Dong asked three quick questions, which basically meant the same, but the couldn't point that out to their boss.
”Actually, there is something that Boss needs to know…” Knowing they couldn't hide it anymore, they briefly told the truth about Wuxing, who appeared out of nowhere in their Miss' life.
”...Miss is very friendly to him at the moment and even allows him to sleep in her apartment but we doubt he did anything with Miss. It should also be him who is with Miss right now and they probably sneaked out through the balcony to wander around without us… We will find them as soon as possible.” The guard explained their thoughts, hoping they will be forgiven.
”Why didn't you inform me about that earlier?” Guan Dong replied coldly after listening to the whole story, his anger partially calmed down.
”Miss said she will cut off our… 'friends down there' if we say anything about it… We already planned to inform Boss before anything serious happens between them.” The guards didn't hide anything, even confessing about Dongmei's threats, to which Guan Dong could only roll his eyes and blame his wife, ”See how you taught your daughter? She is even threatening her guards now. Like mother like daughter. Sigh…”
This time, the Dongmei's mother didn't bash at her husband because there were other people present, but in her mind, she already thought of a punishment she will give him afterwards. She knew she couldn't undermind authority in public, but when home alone, she wouldn't let anyone step on her.
Glaring at him behind the watch camera, she asked sweetly, ”How about you finally find her using her position? Did you forget about the chip in her body?” Even if she was mad, she could pretend just for a little more.
”Right, how could I forget about it! I think it should be still active. It has been many years since the last time we used it.” Guan Dong knew he fucked up again but didn't show any reaction on his face, quickly reaching out to his watch settings.
Changing the image on the watch with a horizontal wave of his hand, a map appeared on the screen and surprisingly it was the map of the Badu Island. There was a small dot in the middle of the island, showing that she was still there. As he zoomed in, they saw that the dot was slowly moving which could confirm what the guards were saying earlier.
Dongmei sneaked out with her new 'friend' to wander around the island, but that didn't calm them as parents at all, but actually made them even more worried. If there was someone Dongmei care this much, even leaving her watch behind which they forbid from taking off, it could bring certain troubles for them.
