"Miss Gu, please refrain from speaking further; the Young Master requires rest!" Ye Feng hurried to quiet Gu Ziqian, who was exacerbating the situation with her incessant chatter.
Her eyes reddened slightly as she cast a glance at Ye Feng, retorting, "Ye Feng, do you truly believe a mere servant warrants the Young Master's concern? Such matters are beyond our control. Furthermore, Sister Xia is just a servant; if her family makes inquiries, won't some compensation suffice? Besides, she should have insurance, right? If she met with an unfortunate accident, the insurance company would surely provide appropriate compensation!"
Beside her, Ye Feng's expression darkened as he listened to Gu Ziqian's words. He glanced uneasily at the Young Master, only to find his face exceedingly grim and utterly devoid of any discernible emotion.
"Ziqian! Is this how an eighteen-year-old should speak? You have truly disappointed me! Disappear from my sight at once!" Beitang Yao rose from the sofa, not even sparing Gu Ziqian a look, and exited the drawing-room, heading directly back to his room.
Ye Feng also let out a soft sigh, realizing Gu Ziqian was completely oblivious to the gravity of the situation.
The Young Master had instructed him to monitor any news from the police and to relay any developments immediately. However, if the situation were truly irreparable and final... then they would have to accept it.
"Miss Gu, I will escort you back to school first. In a few days, I will return to pick you up so we can go back to the country together. Please go back and complete the necessary procedures for your departure from the school." Ye Feng spoke as he shifted his body slightly, gesturing for Gu Ziqian to walk ahead.
Gu Ziqian gazed quietly at the desolate staircase for a moment before following Ye Feng out of the villa and returning to her school.
Shortly after dropping Gu Ziqian off at her student apartment, Ye Feng's phone rang. He answered it to hear the Young Master's muffled voice: "Ye Feng, is there still no news regarding Xia Qingqian?"
Ye Feng's heart sank, filled with bewilderment. The Young Master truly couldn't let go of the incident involving Xia Qingqian; he just couldn't let it go.
Yet, he had personally witnessed Xia Qingqian passing through customs and boarding the plane. Even the search team mobilized by the Young Master had been unable to find any trace of her. What exactly had transpired? Or could it be that Xia Qingqian had never actually boarded the plane? But he had personally escorted Xia Qingqian to the airport and seen her board the flight successfully; there was no mistake.
"Young Master, I will go investigate the situation immediately. You should rest and stop overthinking." Ye Feng sighed inwardly. After hearing the Young Master hang up, he put away his phone, got into his car, and departed from Gu Ziqian's school.
Arriving at the airport, Ye Feng made inquiries and checked the flight details, hoping to uncover some clue. The absence of Xia Qingqian's body meant she still had a chance of survival; her whereabouts were simply unknown.
Therefore, he came to the airport to ascertain the situation, hoping it would aid in finding something, or perhaps his nagging inner thought was correct: Xia Qingqian never boarded the plane...
Ye Feng requested the airport manager to retrieve the CCTV footage. He stared intently at the screen as the footage played. Xia Qingqian had indeed boarded the plane. However, precisely three minutes before takeoff, the CCTV feed abruptly went black. When the image returned, someone was occupying Xia Qingqian's original seat. This individual had the same build and was dressed similarly, only wearing an eye mask.
This irrefutable fact was presented before them, yet a thorough search of the entire plane yielded no sign of Xia Qingqian. Where could she possibly be?
