Chapter 591: Daughter Missing
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The lights of the auction house looked especially dazzling at night.
At this Shen familyâs auction, almost half of the people in the circle were here. They chatted and laughed as they toasted each other.
After Old Master Shen greeted his acquaintances and friends, he went upstairs to talk, so the person who welcomed people at the door was Su Rong.
At this moment, Huo Yichen got out of the car and walked towards the hall.
As soon as he entered the door, he attracted the attention of many people. However, Huo Yichen also took this opportunity to scan the crowd, but he was slightly disappointed that the person he wanted to see was missing.
After greeting Su Rong, he strode forward to look for Murong Qiao. However, he had only taken a few steps when he was blocked by someone he didnât know.
âYou must be the Young Master of the Huo Family, right? Outstanding people really emerge from the young. At such an age, youâve already taken over the Huo FamilyâŠâ
As soon as the other party came up, he praised Huo Yichen and even patted his daughter beside him.
âThis is my daughter. You can get to know her. In addition, Iâve always wanted to cooperate with the Huo Corporation, but unfortunately, I havenât had the chance.â
The other party was clearly âpromotingâ his daughter with all his might, wanting to climb up the Huo Familyâs towering tree.
There were also many such people. After Huo Yichen impatiently shook off the other party, he quickly encountered a second and third person.
When Murong Qiao found him and walked over, she saw Huo Yichen surrounded by a group of girls.
âI donât believe you when you say that you have a female companion. You came alone.â A girl beside him was pestering him.
This is the President of the Huo Corporation, and heâs so handsome. Heâs simply the best choice for a marriage alliance.
Huo Yichenâs face was cold as he was about to refuse. Seeing Murong Qiao walking towards him, he reached out and pulled her to his side.
âThis is my girlfriend,â he announced publicly.
The girl originally wanted to say something, but when she turned around and saw that the person who was pulled to Huo Yichenâs side was Murong Qiao, she immediately became hoarse.
If it was a girl from other families, they would still be able to compete. However, when they saw that it was Murong Qiao, the people around Huo Yichen suddenly dispersed.
Just the Murong surname alone was already too much for them. Everyone clearly knew their limits.
âYouâre using me as a shield?â Murong Qiao looked up at him in amusement.
Huo Yichen lowered his head and kissed the corner of her lips. âIâm just stating the facts.â
She was his girlfriend.
Many people saw their intimate actions. Even Murong Chen, who was talking to Old Master Shen upstairs, noticed it.
âLook at these two young people. Looks like I have to congratulate the Murong Family in advance?â An old man beside Old Master Shen said with a smile.
Murong Chenâs gaze swept past his Little Sister and Huo Yichen, who were almost sticking to each other downstairs. He smiled politely.
Old Master Shen took a few more glances at Huo Yichen.
Previously, the Shen family had also heard that the Huo Corporation had changed its President. This auction really let Old Master Shen see this young man called Huo Yichen.
âNot bad.â After a moment of silence, he gave his evaluation.
As they spoke, Su Rong walked up the stairs.
âFather, most of the guests are here,â Su Rong explained the situation softly.
Old Master Shen nodded. âThe auction will be held later. Go and check on Shen Xi in case anything happens to her.â
Although Shen Xiâs health issues couldnât satisfy Old Master Shenâs wish to let all his descendants join the army, in terms of doting on his granddaughter, Old Master Shen was not bad.
There couldnât be any trouble at the auction today. In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Old Master Shen instructed her.
Su Rong was also a little worried about her daughter. âAlright, Iâll go and see Xiao Xi first.â
Thinking of how disappointed Shen Xi had been when she promised her not to run around, Su Rong couldnât help but worry that the other party would sneak out on her own.
After Su Rong turned around and left, she asked the servants to go to the small courtyard to confirm Shen Xiâs situation while she stared at the auction.
Seeing Su Rong standing there, the few people sitting in the garden and talking to Shen Liu felt a little guilty.
âShen Liu, what if Madam Shen goes to look for her daughter? If she finds out that weâve locked her upââ
âLocked who up?â Shen Liu interrupted him.
She glared at him with an unfriendly expression. âDidnât someone call Shen Xi away just now?â
As soon as Shen Liu said this, the person beside her fell silent, but he still looked a little uneasy.
Shen Liu narrowed her eyes and his gaze swept across the spot where Shen Xi had just been. A new person was already seated there, but this didnât affect her good mood at this moment.
âItâs normal for her to get lost and be locked up while walking around the main residence.â
This sentence flowed past Shen Liuâs mouth in a low murmur. Other than the person closest to her, no one else heard it.
She was as weak as trash. It didnât matter even if such a person died.
Shen Liu clicked her tongue and only hoped that the other party wouldnât be found so quickly.
However, after thinking about that small warehouse, Shen Liu curled her lips. Perhaps before others found her, Shen Xiâs illness would act up first.
As more and more people came, the hall became livelier.
Murong Qiao held Huo Yichenâs arm and walked with him when she saw Su Rong talking to the servant beside her anxiously.
âWhy did she disappear⊠Wasnât she⊠In short, go and look for her.â
The noise around her made this voice intermittent. Murong Qiao couldnât hear her clearly.
However, from Su Rongâs expression, she could tell that something had happened.
âLetâs go take a look, Ah Chen.â Murong Qiao tugged at him.
When the two of them approached, Su Rong also noticed them.
Before Murong Qiao could ask, she took the initiative to ask.
âYoung Miss Murong, have you seen my daughter? Xiao Xi is missing.â Su Rong frowned. The calmness on her face couldnât suppress the anxiety in her heart.
The servant who had gone to the small courtyard to take a look at the situation returned and hurriedly said that the Eldest Miss was missing. When Su Rong heard this, her mind went blank.
âShen Xi?â Murong Qiao frowned. âWe spoke in the garden just now. She even went to look for you, Madam.â
As she spoke, she frowned again. Looking at Su Rongâs anxious appearance, she seemed to be different from what she had seen just now.
Su Rong was also stunned. âWhen did I call for herââ
âWhen we were chatting, a servant came over and said that Madam Shen was looking for the Eldest Miss. After that, he took Shen Xi away,â Murong Qiao explained simply.
The difference in information between the two sides quickly disappeared in the exchange. In its place was the news of Shen Xiâs disappearance.
âIâll get someone to look for her in the garden. Xiao Xiâs health isnât good, and she disappearedâŠâ Su Rong sighed.
There was a hint of melancholy between her brows, but she felt anxious because she couldnât escape the auction.
Shen Xi had suddenly disappeared, and at this juncture, it was difficult not to worry.
The situation was urgent, and there was no time to dawdle.
Thinking that she had just spoken to Shen Xi, Murong Qiao frowned and offered to help.
It was also because of Shen Xiâs disappearance that the auction that was originally planned to start was temporarily postponed by Su Rong.
Nothing was more important than her daughterâs safety.
Seeing this, Huo Yichen also said, âIâll help look for her too.â
âThen Iâll go to the garden to take a look first. Perhaps someone saw where she went.â Murong Qiao split up.
She went to the garden while Huo Yichen looked for her in the hall. After Su Rong heard their plans, she asked someone to check the surveillance cameras again and strived to find her as soon as possible..
