The Lady of the Prestigious Family is a Big Boss-Chapter 738, Fifth Master is also a powerful actor (2)
"Last night when we left, Mingqian was taking care of Asheng. Is he with you?"
Discharged in the middle of the night?
Ye Jiuliang frowned and quickly got up.
She comforted, "Don’t worry, Auntie, I’ll ask Aqian. We’re coming over now."
After hanging up the phone, she bypassed the table and hurried out.
Just as she left the dining room, Ye Jiuliang almost bumped into Li Mochan without looking.
"Why are you rushing like this?" Li Mochan gripped her wrist, his brows slightly furrowed.
"What happened?"
Chu Chen and Ji Mingqian looked at her simultaneously, taken aback by her unusual panic.
"Auntie just called saying she can’t find Asheng. She said Asheng discharged himself last night and left," Ye Jiuliang said.
Upon hearing this, everyone except Li Mochan showed surprise on their faces.
Especially Ji Mingqian, he stepped forward, his expression changing slightly, "Jiang Yisheng isn’t at the hospital. Are you sure he discharged himself?"
Now that Mr. Mo is still hiding in the shadows, there’s no guarantee that he didn’t play a part in this.
Ye Jiuliang, frowning, said, "That’s still unclear. When you left last night, did Asheng act unusual, or did he mention wanting to be discharged?"
Unusual?
Ji Mingqian’s dark eyes paused as if he thought of something, his expression changing again.
Could it be...
"Let’s go check the hospital first," Li Mochan said, glancing at the still distracted Ji Mingqian and leading Ye Jiuliang towards the door.
Seeing that Ji Mingqian had not snapped out of it, Gu Xinuo gently pushed his shoulder, "Aqian, did you two have a fight last night?"
One went out to drink in the rain; the other pulled a disappearing act in the middle of the night. She didn’t believe there was no trickery involved.
Ji Mingqian came to his senses, saw that Ye Jiuliang and Li had already left, and chased after them without caring for appearances.
"Wait for me."
As he reached the door, just as the car door closed, Ji Mingqian jumped down the steps and rushed to the side of the car.
He leaned his bent elbow on the car window, "I want to come too."
Li Mochan glanced at the clothes on his body, his gaze resting on the slippers on his feet.
Without a word, he started the car and drove off.
Caught off guard, Ji Mingqian stumbled forward, nearly falling.
As the car disappeared in a burst of smoke, Ji Mingqian felt a wave of frustration in his chest, "Hey, Li Mochan..."
What was wrong with hitching a ride? This bastard Li Mochan, he wasn’t done with him yet.
Chu Chen came over, patted his shoulder with a resigned tone, "You’re wearing pajamas and slippers. It’s normal for Li Mochan not to take you. Do you plan on being tomorrow’s headline by going out dressed like that?"
Ji Mingqian froze, looked down at his clothes, and irritably scratched his head.
Damn.
"You go change, I’ll bring the car around," Chu Chen said.
Ji Mingqian exhaled a breath of foul air and quickly walked back into the house.
"Achen, why do you think Yisheng left?" Gu Xinuo, seeing Ji Mingqian running upstairs, turned her head and as Chu Chen walked in, asked curiously.
"Could it be that he lost a quarrel with Aqian and was driven away by anger?"
Chu Chen shook his head and smiled, pinching her cheek gently, "If only it were that simple."
It’s likely Yisheng left not out of a fit of pique but genuine heartache.
Not understanding the hidden meaning in his words, Gu Xinuo was confused.
"What do you mean?"
Chu Chen smiled, "You’ll find out soon enough."
The look of puzzlement on Gu Xinuo’s face deepened.

In the hospital room, footsteps paced back and forth.
Watching his wife walk to and fro, Jiang Hai stood up, walked over to her, and comforted her softly, "Veya, take a seat for a moment. Maybe Asheng is just playing a joke on us and will be back soon."
Veya’s face was deathly pale as she clutched a note in her hand, her voice filled with anxiety, "Asheng even left a note here, and I have no idea where he went. This child is really driving me mad. Once we find him, I’m going to punish him severely."
He had wandered off with injuries still healing, completely oblivious to taking care of himself. If only she had known, she would not have left last night. She was absolutely furious with him.
"Alright, punish him, punish him severely. Don’t get so worked up that you make yourself ill. Take a seat and rest for a bit," Jiang Hai said, continuing to console her.
Jiang Hai’s mother was also anxious deep down, but she still managed to wait patiently, "Yes, Veya, don’t panic. Listen to Ahai and take a seat to rest. Don’t upset yourself."
Since Asheng had left a note, that meant he had chosen to go. As long as he wasn’t in danger, it meant there was no immediate concern.
Just then, Ye Jiuliang and Li Mochan arrived.
Upon entering, they saw Jiang Hai and his wife at the door, "Uncle, Aunt."
"Ahan, did you find Asheng?" Veya asked, seeing them as if they were saviors.
"Was he with Mingqian?"
Li Mochan shook his head and asked indifferently, "Did Asheng take anything with him?"
"Just some clothes, his cellphone, and this note." As she spoke, Veya passed the note in her hand to him, "This is it."
Li Mochan reached out to take it, and Ye Jiuliang leaned in to look.
The message on the note was simple—Going out to clear my mind, do not worry, do not search.
Ye Jiuliang pursed his lips, recognizing indeed it was Asheng’s handwriting.
Clear his mind?
What was Asheng really thinking?
"Ahan, did Asheng tell you where he was going?" Veya asked urgently.
Li Mochan folded the note, "No."
Veya’s heart sank, and the last trace of color drained from her face.
"Aunt, don’t worry. We’ll have someone look for him," Ye Jiuliang reached out to support her, soothing her with a gentle voice.
Veya was so distracted she could only nod, on the verge of tears, causing Jiang Hai a surge of heartache.
This damned kid Asheng. Once they found him, he was definitely in for a stern talking-to for causing such trouble.
Ye Jiuliang stayed in the hospital room to comfort Jiang Hai’s mother and the others while Li Mochan stepped out into the corridor to take a phone call.
"Yes, follow his instructions and don’t let the news leak." He deliberately lowered his voice, but his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of someone hurrying over through the glass, and he suddenly switched what he was about to say.
"Start looking for people in F country, and get clear on the immigration status at the airport."
His cool voice echoed down the hallway and fell right into Ji Mingqian’s ears.
His steps faltered, and suddenly his heart skipped a beat.
Had Jiang Yisheng really left?
After hanging up the call, Li Mochan turned around to see that Ji Mingqian and the others had arrived. His gaze swept over them, eventually settling on Ji Mingqian.
He stared at him in silence, refusing to speak first.
In the end, it was Ji Mingqian who lost patience first.
He stepped forward, his voice trembling slightly, "Where is he?"
Li Mochan coolly shifted his gaze away and handed him the note, "Take it."
Taking the note, Ji Mingqian hastily opened it, and upon seeing the contents, his face drastically changed.
Do not worry, do not search?
Was he trying to avoid him?
Chu Chen stood to one side, simply lowering his head to see the content of the note.
Surprised but also somewhat understanding Jiang Yisheng’s actions, he suspected that what Aqian did last night might have caused a misunderstanding.
