Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 604

The news, once leaked, threw both the Ye Family and the Xiao Family into complete disarray. The Xiao Family tried forcefully to suppress the news, but after three days, the story had been forwarded so much that it was impossible to keep under wraps.

Despite the chaos on both sides, Xiao Linye remained focused on just one thing: finding Ye Yuning. But three days passed...!

As the time frame kept widening, so did the search perimeter, yet there was still no sign of Ye Yuning. Xiao Linye received one phone call after another from Elder Xiao, but he had no intention of going back. This infuriated Elder Xiao even more.

"Sir," Lai Shuo returned, looking at him respectfully.

Xiao Linye pinched the bridge of his aching brow, "Still no news?"

Lai Shuo nodded, "None."

No news. Three whole days had gone by without a single lead. Where did she go? Who took her away?

In these three days, after Gui Xingli had caused a scene that threw the Xiao Family into utter disarray, she also devoted all her energy to the search for Ye Yuning. Not just Upper City, but even cities nationwide were searched, yet no news came.

"Miss, could it really be Elder Xiao?" Old Zheng looked at Gui Xingli and spoke with trepidation.

Gui Xingli’s breathing grew heavy, and her complexion turned deathly pale. A few days ago, she had Xia Andai expose the affair, intending to protect Ye Yuning and force Elder Xiao to release her. Yet, three days had passed, and they still hadn’t found her! And Elder Xiao had not released anyone...

...

Gui Xingli and Tang Xi were at their wits’ end.

Gathering together again, the expressions on all three women’s faces were solemn. Xia Andai lifted the coffee in front of her and sipped it, her eyes flickering with an endless sharpness.

Tang Xi glanced at Gui Xingli, then at Xia Andai, "Andai, what do you think is going on now?" In times of crisis, Xia Andai had always been the most decisive among them.

Xia Andai shook her head, "I don’t think she’s with Elder Xiao."

"Then where is she?"

Hearing she wasn’t with Elder Xiao, both Tang Xi and Gui Xingli’s hearts clenched with anxiety. This was hardly good news for them.

Xia Andai said, "Over the years, no matter what shady business the Xiao Family has been involved in behind the scenes, they care a great deal about their reputation and influence. Now that Ningning and Xiao Linye’s relationship has been exposed, all of Upper City is treating it like a joke. If Elder Xiao were to harm her now, everyone would suspect him. He wouldn’t do such a thing." Her tone was confident.

Her analysis was clear and logical. Tang Xi and Gui Xingli exchanged glances, both agreeing with her assessment for the moment.

Tang Xi ventured, "So, you think Ningning’s disappearance..."

"Either she wanted to avoid everything and left on her own, or..."

Or what? At that moment, Xia Andai looked at Tang Xi.

Tang Xi’s heart, already tight with anxiety, constricted further under Xia Andai’s gaze.

"Or what?" Gui Xingli asked, her voice choking.

In the past three days searching for Ye Yuning, Gui Xingli had exhausted every possible means, but ultimately, she had found no information. Now, she didn’t know what to do.

She was terrified... terrified that something had happened to Ye Yuning. If so, she would have truly failed the person who had entrusted her with this. She felt so useless, unable to accomplish even this simple task.

Xia Andai said, "I feel she probably hasn’t come to harm."

Silence.

Could she truly be unharmed?

Neither Tang Xi nor Gui Xingli spoke. With no news of Ye Yuning at all, neither of them dared to be certain.

Xia Andai then looked at Gui Xingli, "Has there been any movement from Xiao Linye these past few days?"

"Him, heh." Speaking of Xiao Linye, hate filled the depths of Gui Xingli’s eyes. That hate, just a glance was enough for Xia Andai and Tang Xi to deeply feel the bone-deep pain. Yes... that was the feeling. The hatred Gui Xingli harbored for Xiao Linye was a fusion of pain and animosity.

When asked about Xiao Linye’s activities, Gui Xingli’s tone was full of sarcasm, "He’s sent out all the necessary people. And as for what he ought to be doing, he’s still doing it."

Xia Andai and Tang Xi furrowed their brows upon hearing this. Doing what he ought to be doing?

Without a doubt, this referred to a man’s ambition! He was diligently playing the role of a husband searching for Ye Yuning, but at the same time, he continued to display his domineering nature in his business affairs.

Isn’t that just typical for men in their position? Juggling career and women, seemingly without missing a beat. Xia Andai and Tang Xi fell silent, clearly disappointed with the relationship between Xiao Linye and Ye Yuning.

Especially Tang Xi. Having previously seen such happiness radiating from Ye Yuning’s face, she had thought Xiao Linye treated her well. But now, it seemed, men...

"Regardless, we need to find news of Ningning as soon as possible. Let’s expand the search internationally," Xia Andai said.

Tang Xi nodded, "Yes, I’ve already had my people looking there." She had moved abroad for her career and had considerable resources there. Without waiting for Xia Andai to suggest it, she had already made arrangements.
