Chapter 1301: Qian Cheng Is Anxious
The phone rang, but no one answered. As time passed, Mu Qiancheng’s heart grew increasingly uneasy.
This situation was happening for the first time because, no matter how busy, Jiang Xue would always answer his call. But now, she wasn’t answering, coupled with the sudden pain he felt in his heart, Mu Qiancheng was certain that something had happened to Jiang Xue.
Because of this, he called Shangguan Wenbin, intending to ask him what Jiang Xue was doing and what the current situation was.
Of course, Mu Qiancheng hoped that Jiang Xue was okay and that she was not answering the phone simply because she forgot to bring her phone.
Shangguan Wenbin was having a meal with a client. When the phone rang, he answered it. Upon hearing Mu Qiancheng’s voice, he immediately asked, "Brother-in-law, is there something you need from me?"
"Wenbin, where is your sister, and why is she not answering my calls?" Mu Qiancheng’s voice sounded somewhat urgent and tense; he hoped Jiang Xue was right beside Shangguan Wenbin.
However, Shangguan Wenbin’s reply made his heart sink once again.
"My sister? She should be at the company, right? But right now, she might have gone to eat, maybe she didn’t bring her phone?"
"Wenbin, who in your company is usually close to your sister, give me their number."
"Brother-in-law, what’s wrong?" Shangguan Wenbin asked, somewhat puzzled. He felt that Mu Qiancheng was acting strangely today, as if there was some urgent matter.
"Don’t ask too much, just give me the numbers." Mu Qiancheng had no time to explain to Shangguan Wenbin; he just wanted to confirm whether Jiang Xue was in trouble.
"Alright, wait a moment, I’ll look for it!" Shangguan Wenbin said, not asking further upon seeing Mu Qiancheng’s seriousness. He quickly found Jiang Xue’s secretary’s number and gave it to Mu Qiancheng.
With the number in hand, Mu Qiancheng immediately dialed it. But the person on the other end told Mu Qiancheng they hadn’t seen Jiang Xue. Moreover, when they went to eat, Jiang Xue should have still been in the office.
So, Mu Qiancheng called Jiang Xue’s office phone again, but still, no one answered. No one picked up the mobile phone, nobody picked up the landline, and Mu Qiancheng felt increasingly worse, continuously redialing Jiang Xue’s number.
One call after another was made, yet no one answered. In the end, Mu Qiancheng stopped calling, didn’t even eat, directly left the canteen, and went to ask for leave from the tutor.
The tutor had a very good impression of Mu Qiancheng and initially did not agree to his request for leave. It wasn’t until Mu Qiancheng said his wife was in trouble that the tutor agreed and gave him a week’s leave.
With the leave granted, Mu Qiancheng did not delay, didn’t even have time to pack clothes, directly went to the airport, bought a same-day ticket, and returned to South City.
Meanwhile, Jiang Xue, after fainting in the space, Little Fox was at a loss, not knowing what to do, when the Gu King spoke to it, saying, "I can save her."
"Are you sure?" Little Fox looked at the Gu King in surprise, not trusting it.
"Don’t worry, if I say I can save her, I can save her." However, the Gu King did not mind Little Fox’s doubt and, after speaking, crawled directly out of the small box, heading towards Jiang Xue lying on the ground.
Little Fox watched the Gu King crawl too slowly, directly pinched it up, and placed it in front of Jiang Xue.
The Gu King had been hungry for many days, with an empty belly, and smelled the scent of toxins on Jiang Xue, feeling very tempted.
"How do you plan to detoxify her?" Little Fox asked the Gu King, watching it.
