“What settling accounts later, Li Beiting, you better find Weiwei first!”
Xu Chaomu was also furious.
Li Beiting no longer paid attention to her and dialed Shen Chi’s number directly on his mobile phone.
Xu Chaomu knew whom he was calling and lunged forward to fight him for the phone!
If Shen Chi found out that she was working part-time at Weiyang, he would kill her.
“Don’t call Shen Chi, Li Beiting, you said it yourself, to keep me away from him, so why are you calling him now!”
“At least he treats you as his sister.”
Li Beiting ignored Xu Chaomu’s opposition and made the call.
“Li Beiting, give me the phone, don’t call him, I have nothing to do with him, I hate him!”
Xu Chaomu reached out to snatch it, but she was no match for Li Beiting’s height.
Little did she know, by the time she said these words, the call had already connected.
Xu Chaomu’s words, not a single one left out, all fell into Shen Chi’s ears.
Shen Chi hadn’t slept yet; he was sitting in front of his laptop, sipping coffee while working on documents. Hearing Xu Chaomu’s voice, his handsome brows furrowed slightly.
He pursed his lips and remained silent.
“Shen Chi, take Xu Chaomu away!”
“Where are you?” Shen Chi asked, his voice cold and slightly deep.
“Weiyang!” Li Beiting shouted.
“Since you are there, you might as well send her to school, what does it have to do with me?”
“Fine, so you’re not coming, Shen Chi? You’re leaving the mess for me, is that it? Fine, you’re impressive! I’m telling you, Xu Chaomu is neither human nor ghost right now, do you know what she’s doing at a place like Weiyang?”
“What can she do? Looking to hook up with a few sugar daddies?” Shen Chi scoffed coldly.
“I won’t waste my words on you! If you don’t come, forget it, I don’t have the energy to take care of her, I’ll just leave her at Ji Shengxuan’s, whether you like it or not!”
Li Beiting was truly angry; normally, he would just laugh it off and not get into a dispute with Shen Chi.
Xu Chaomu, standing close to Li Beiting, not only heard his words, but also… heard what Shen Chi said.
Looking to hook up with a few sugar daddies? What was that supposed to mean?!
Her little fists clenched tighter and tighter, Xu Chaomu was so angry that the corners of her mouth twitched, and her body turned cold.
The blood in her body flowed faster; it felt as if her heart had been stabbed with a knife, the pain relentless.
“In the future, don’t bother me with such things,” Shen Chi said impatiently.
“Fine, consider me nosy. I, Li Beiting, am not idle with nothing better to do. Since you don’t care, I certainly can’t be expected to look after this girl!”
Having said that, Li Beiting hung up the phone first.
When Xu Chaomu looked up, she saw Li Beiting’s face full of fury.
Li Beiting gave her a cold glance, put the phone in his clothes, and strode off.
Xu Chaomu didn’t follow; her legs felt unusually heavy and wouldn’t lift. Her entire body was weak and her mind went blank.
The cold wind blew in gusts against her, and the night wind was always very cold.
She hugged her arms tightly as her lips continued to tremble.
Li Beiting walked along the riverbank, personally looking for Yu Weiwei.
However, he couldn’t swim, and no matter how much he searched, it was in vain. He had no choice but to dispatch even more people over!
“Mr. Li, we still haven’t found her.’
“Mr. Li, we’ve searched all along the riverbank near Weiyang, and we didn’t see anyone.”
“Mr. Li, we’ve increased manpower, but still, no luck.”
Not found, not found, not found!
Li Beiting was on the verge of insanity, punching a camphor tree!
The camphor tree was forcibly shaken by the punch, and the leaves hissed.
A piece of bark poked his hand, and blood flowed along the back of his hand…
“Alive or dead, we need proof. Tonight, if she’s not found, none of you come back!” Li Beiting’s indifferent and cold gaze swept over everyone.
The tone was bone-chilling and extremely harsh!
“Yes, Mr. Li, we will do our best, you should also… take it easy,” someone was comforting Li Beiting.
Life and death were uncertain; no one could say for sure. Everyone could only tremble with fear and do their limited best.
“Go find her for me!” Li Beiting shouted again.
“Yes, yes.”
Everyone dispersed again, splitting up to search for Yu Weiwei and MO Shuifu.
Li Beiting, one hand still on the tree trunk, his fresh blood still flowing, drop by drop, particularly penetrating under the moonlight.
A gust of wind came, causing the leaves to rustle, and a few yellow ones couldn’t hold on, twirling a few times before falling onto Li Beiting’s shoulder. The moonlight was cold and fell on his face, making him look somewhat pale.
The man who was just seething with rage now seemed a bit forlorn.
Soon, the ground at his feet was covered with leaves.
He was still wearing a not-so-thick robe, a pair of slippers he hadn’t had time to change. No matter from which angle, he looked incredibly lonely…
Xu Chaomu didn’t go either; after stabilizing her emotions, she walked along the riverbank.
She too couldn’t swim; otherwise, she wouldn’t have just watched Yu Weiwei and MO Shuifu jump into the water.
Guilt, self-reproach, and anxiety suddenly filled her chest.
“Weiwei, Shuifu, where are you?” Xu Chaomu shouted loudly at first, then began to sob quietly.
Gradually, when she realized it was all in vain, she found a more secluded spot to sit down.
Her eyes stared straight at the water surface, which was terrifyingly still.
Calm and unmoving, just like this dark sky, hiding depth and restlessness, as if a massive force was swallowing everything.
Xu Chaomu shivered; Weiwei and Shuifu must not be in trouble.
Shuifu knew how to swim; they must have already reached the shore, she just didn’t know it yet.
They definitely wouldn’t be in trouble.
They definitely wouldn’t.
She still had to skip class with Weiwei, they still had to sneak a peek at magazines together, they had even agreed to apply to a male program together…
Nothing would happen to Weiwei; she couldn’t leave her alone.
She was still wearing the Weiyang waitress’s uniform, which was very thin; now, Xu Chaomu hugged her arms, her legs, curled up at the edge of the bushes, her head down, not speaking.
Another gust of wind blew, she felt a bit cold, and hugged her body tighter.
Her head was almost buried between her knees, so cold…
Time passed bit by bit, and the night grew deeper, the surroundings becoming quieter and quieter.
She could hear her own breathing, along with the choked sobs from her throat…
After receiving Li Beiting’s call, Shen Chi couldn’t focus on his work anymore, growing more and more irritable, he smashed several cups in succession.
An indescribable feeling overwhelmed him, filling him with annoyance.
He had just let her go for two days, and she had run off to a place like Weiyang.
If it were someone else, he would suspect they’d been deceived or acted
naively, but Xu Chaomu, she should know better! She was more mature than anyone!
He really could no longer guess what she was up to, and in recent times, his impression of her had greatly diminished.
The once naive and carefree Xu Chaomu was gone, and now, she had become somewhat irksome to him.
Maybe, it was he who had changed..
