Chapter 40-Can't see her anywhere

Zhi Hei walked up to the stage with a domineering aura . Everybody cheered as he took the microphone from Yu Rou's hand anticipating his speech for Yu Rou. Seeing that he made an effort to come up, Yu Rou's heart raced faster and faster.

Zhi Hei finally thought it through!! before he wouldn't care even if rumors spread about him being gay. now that he is coming up he must be here to confess his love for me! there's no way he would affect both families reputation so he must be agreeing!! i knew my feelings would get to him after my moving speech.

She quickly handed him the microphone and held onto his arm while staring at him with loving eyes. Many people were jealous of the man and woman on stage while some were whistling. Xia Jing Lin was the happiest of them all as he believed Zhi Hei would be good and accept his precious daughter's feelings.

While the crowd was screaming and shouting, Shi Xue felt a sharp pain in her stomach. Her vision became blurred and cold sweat formed all over her body. She couldn't stand the loudness of the crowd and slowly leaned against the wall, walking away from the crowd. She felt her consciously fading, and her chest suffocating as she gasped for breath. She couldn't find a chair to sit down and everybody was focused on the stage that nobody saw her falling ill. She had no more strength left to walk and wanted to rest. Everything was spinning as her eyes lost focus. Right before she collapsed, she felt an unfamiliar body holding her. The man had a devilish smile as he held the beauty in his arms and walked up the stairs...

Yu Rou's phone vibrated and she read the text message "Got the fish"

She smiled brightly as she felt the whole world just became hers and that woman would become a nobody in the next hour. heh.

Zhi Hei loosened his tie from his suit and said loud and clear" I will only say this one time so listen carefully" he glanced towards Yu Rou and then back to the guests.

"I, Huang Zhi Hei, will NOT marry Xia Yu Rou. I do not love her and will NEVER marry her. I already have a girlfriend and she is my one and only love. Even after knowing this, Xia family, still refused to call off the engagement. I was NEVER involved in any decisions for the engagement and was NOT informed of tonight's announcement. Even if they did, I would've done the same and give this speech. The one I love is my girlfriend. Please excuse me."

He shook off Yu Rou's arm using force as she stared at him with disbelief. She stumbled to the floor and looked at the figure whose distance is getting further and further from her. Tears began to fall and she couldn't believe that he would embarrass her to this extent. She never knew that it would feel this painful to be rejected this way. She thought that because she was his childhood friend, he would care for her reputation and let this go on smoothly. She thought that she had a place in his heart and Shi Xue took it... Right it must be because f*ck that bitch. Since he rejected me just now he will definitely come back to me after tonight. who would want a used rag haha... Zhi Hei you are meant to be mine.

.

Xia Jing Lin's expression was not any better than Yu Rou's. His face went from red to black to green and now pale when he heard such speech that slapped him right in the face. Nobody ever dared to go against his words, he's the first. He quickly pulled his daughter up whose heartbrokenly stiff on the floor and took the microphone. "This is just a youngsters quarrel. Don't take what he said to heart. The engagement will definitely go on!"

Zhi Hei whois already down stage gave a frightening cold glare towards the father and daughter sending them chills down their spine. When he was in the middle of his speech, he saw that Shi Xue was nowhere to be seen, so he had to finish the speech in the quickest time to look for her. He didn't have the time to clear this so called 'youngsters quarrel' so he went through the crowd to look for his lover. Not seeing her anywhere within range, he checked back where he last left her. He saw that there was a cup of orange juice...

A murderous aura surrounded his body, "I didn't order the orange juice for her earlier.... since I was sanitizing her feet...."

FUCK!!! he gritted his teeth as the glass in his hands shattered to pieces.

He took out his cellphone and tried to call her. Her phone went straight to voice mail and no traces of her was seen...

He knew only Yu Rou heard their conversation about the orange juice and because he once said it so Shi Xue would've drank it without suspicions. Xia Yu Rou... Xia Yu Rou!! He jumped up to the stage and approached Yu Rou with a grim reaper aura.

"Where is she?"

Yu Rou shivered hearing his cold tone "W...what do you mean?"

"Shi Xue. Where is she? Don't make me ask the third time."

"i...i...I don't know"

"If you don't give her back, don't blame me for not giving a fuck of the last strand of our friendship."

"i.. I SAID I DONT KNOW!" she fake cried in front of everyone. She quickly hugged her father and sobbed acting innocent as if she was framed.

Zhi Hei snatched the microphone and said "My companion is now missing. If anyone saw anything that may be related to her disappearance then please let me know. You'll receive an award for giving any information you've seen. But, If anyone is involved or saw something and decided to not report it out, then don't blame me for being merciless. from this moment on every corner of this hall will be blocked. nobody can come in or go out until i find my girlfriend" he coldly glanced towards Xia Yu Rou.

Xia Yu Rou.. you had one chance. Now none. If anything happens to my Shi Xue... You.. and your whole family will be destroyed..

He quickly got off stage and made a phone call to Shen Qi ordering him to bring in security base A to the current location of the party. Fifteen minutes later, a group of skilled bodyguards walked in and saluted to Zhi Hei. "Block all entrances. don't let anyone out. and the remaining of you follow me."

During the fifteen minutes, Zhi Hei managed to hack into the camera footages and saw how Shi Xue became sickly pale and lose consciousness before being carried upstairs by a man. His hands clenched into a tight fist as he commanded "Quick go look for each room. any methods can be used. the guy went left after reaching the stairs. the future mistress is kidnapped. if the man holds a weapon then even if you kill you must protect the mistress. "

Zhi Hei quickly looked through the footages again to see if there were any hints of where Shi Xue could be. He noticed that Shi Xue may have been unconscious, but not entirely as she made some strange movements in the footages. He followed to where the footages were where she acted strangely. He found small hints that she had left while being carried away!

His eyes had a trace of hopefulness as he followed the hints. He signaled his men to follow him. Finally, he found the room.

BAM!

He knocked down the door! The moment he opened the door and witnessed the disturbing scene in front of him a murderous aura filled the room making the temperature drop to negative degrees. Her dress was ripped. He saw scratch marks of struggles and a bit of bruises on her arms. She was unconscious with blood coming out from the corner of her lips and red prints of slaps were evident on her pale face. Some tears were coming out of her closed eyes. She looked like she suffered in a lot of pain. The dress had been ripped, but thankfully not totally off. The man was topless, but his pants were still on. His knee was between Shi Xue's legs and it was spread a bit. The bed was wrinkled and there was a camera placed in the room recording.....

The man was about to curse at Zhi Hei for interrupting his meal... but when he turned.. he immediately closed him mouth. Before he could say one word, he was kicked in the stomach and was rolling on the floor in pain. Zhi Hei took off his blazer and covered Shi Xue as he walked over to the disgusting pig. "Shen Qi, order the doctors to come here quick!"

He stomped right onto the man's chest and applied extreme pressure "Who told you to do this?"
