Chapter 585: Something Happened to Jing Yichen
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The truth was that Zhao Anan did not need to deliver any speech when she took over the office. All she needed to do was conduct meetings with the top directors of the school, so that everyone would get to know her.
But in order to make sure that she felt responsible towards her job and not take it easy, Jing Yichen had arranged the whole speech requirement for her.
Zhao Anan called Jing Yichen in a panic, but he did not answer. How weird!
Helpless, she got out of the car and was about to enter the campus. There were several people waiting anxiously outside the campus, and they went up to her as soon as she arrived.
“Hello, are you Principal Zhao?” One of the men asked courteously.
Zhao Anan was not used to her new title, and forced herself to nod. “Yes I am.”
“My name is Jin Ning, and I am your assistant. I will be responsible to pass on your order. I believe that Master Jing has already told you about it.”
Hearing that Jin Ning was her assistant, Zhao Anan was delighted and said instantly, “Hi, I may have to trouble you a lot in the future!”
“It is my duty to share your burden. Tell me if you need anything in the future. But now, we must head to the hall where the whole school is waiting for you.”
Jin Ning had gotten anxious, but he did not dare urge Zhao Anan to hurry. He reminded her in a polite, indirect way.
Actually, Zhao Anan was more anxious than him. Even if they went to the hall, she would lose her face.
She really wanted to sneak away.
“Well, Assistant Jin, my cousin… Master Jing said that I need to make a speech, but I am not ready with it. Do you have any tips that you can share with me, right now?”
Zhao Anan had no other choice but to turn to Jin Ning for help.
She wanted to say something nice on the podium and finish it quickly, despite the possibility that she might get embarrassed.
Unexpectedly, however, Jin Ning brought out two pages and gave them to Zhao Anan. “Principal Zhao, I have your speech ready here.”
Overjoyed, Zhao Anan went with Jin Ning to the hall and delivered a massive speech for the first time in her life.
…
Shangguan Ning was very worried when Jing Yichen did not return last night.
Ever since they got married, Jing Yichen had never spent a night out apart from when he was on overseas business trips. And even if he was on a trip, he would call her before he fell asleep.
But he did not return last night, nor did he call her. When Shangguan Ning called him, no one answered the call.
Even Tiger’s phone was out of reach. Shangguan Ning could not fall asleep without Jing Yichen around, so she sat up the entire night with Jing Rui in her arms.
Jing Yichen had told her yesterday around lunch time that he was going to deal with the Tang Family. But he had run into trouble and the investigation did not go well.
And now he was not reachable. Shangguan Ning felt panic set in. Had it not been for feeding Jing Rui, she would not have been able to eat a thing.
Even then, she ate very little the night before. At breakfast, she forced herself to drink a cup of milk.
Lee Duo along with his men, was already searching for him, but they hadn’t seen or heard from Jing Yichen yet.
Shangguan Ning’s heart sank.
She felt that her body was shivering on that hot summer day, and there was numbness in her limbs.
She could not believe that something would happen to Jing Yichen.
He was capable, smart and strong. No one could beat him, not even the Tang Family.
But if he was fine, why was he not answering her call? And what had happened to Tiger’s phone?
At 8 in the morning, Jing Zhongxiu opened the door and came in.
Shangguan Ning stood up with Jing Rui in her arms at the sight of him. Tears were trickling down her face. She said, “Dad…”
Jing Zhongxiu patted her shoulder and said calmly, “Don’t worry, Yichen is fine! It is just that he may not be able to send any messages to you, for the time being. Bring Jing Rui to the Jing Family now. He may not be in danger, but just in case, you better not stay here alone.
Agonized, Shangguan Ning said between sobs, “Okay.”
She packed a few things quickly and followed Jing Zhongxiu along with Jing Rui and the nanny in tow.
On the way, Shangguan Ning did not speak a word. Jing Zhongxiu was busy making calls. It was stressful inside the car.
Only Jing Rui was unaware of the happenings. He was snuggled in Shangguan Ning’a arms, smiling at her.
She tried hard to stop herself from crying, and held Jing Rui’s hands, praying inwardly for Jing Yichen’s safety.
When they reached the Jing Family, Mo Lan and Jing Tianyuan were both there. They were aware of the fact that Jing Yichen was out of reach. Mo Lan looked worried but Jing Tianyuan was poised.
Jing Zhongxiu repeated almost exactly what Jing Zhongxiu had told her. “Don’t worry, Yichen will be fine. Take some rest. He will be back soon.”
Shangguan Ning forced a smile, but still felt rather stressed.
Time ticked away slowly, and every minute was a torture for Shangguan Ning.
At noon, there was a text message on Shangguan Ning’s phone. It was from Jing Yichen.
Shangguan Ning opened it quickly but what was written inside, made her heart drop into the bottom of the valley. “Can’t find Jing Yichen, right? You come to me alone, and I can make sure that you see him. But if you are with someone else, your husband will be dead before tomorrow.”
Shangguan Ning quickly went to Jing Zhongxiu. She was not that stupid. It only happened in the movies how only one person went to rescue the other.
What if it was a trap? She would only be adding to Jing Yichen’s troubles. She needed to discuss it with Jing Zhongxiu.
After reading the text, Jing Zhongxiu said calmly, “I have already located Yichen, but the enemy has been preparing for this day for years, so he has made sure everything is very well planned. We may not be able to find Yichen even if we were to go to that place.”
Jing Zhongxiu did not look anxious, but he was both anxious and furious inside.
Shangguan Ning had no idea what the Tang Family had done but he did.
“Dad, I will pretend to go there alone, and you can have your men follow me on the sly, ok?” Shangguan Ning was no longer able to conceal her worry. She really wanted to go and look for Jing Yichen, immediately.
Without thinking further, Jing Zhongxiu approved of Shangguan Ning’s suggestion. He was capable of protecting at least Shangguan Ning.
