After one minute, Su Yihan was frozen with purple lips and trembling teeth. She felt that she could not hold it anymore.

“Hanyu…!” Missing him, she touched the pendant Lin Hanyu gave her and cheered herself up.

After reading an expedited official business that just came from the United States, Leng Xichen looked at his watch. It was almost noon, he then looked up and turned off the computer.

“Master, do you want to eat now?” Feng Deming stepped forward after seeing him relaxing.

Leng Xichen waved his hand at him, motioning a refusal.

After thinking about it, he asked, “What about her?”

“As you ordered, I arranged for Miss Su to work in the hall.” Feng Deming replied.

Did he go too far? Leng Xichen was thinking in his heart, stood up, and walked out of the study room.

When he came to the lobby, he saw the servants were going in and out, but there was no figure of Su Yihan.

“Isn’t she working here?” Leng Xichen’s nerves tightened after not seeing her.

“Sorry, young master, I will send someone to investigate!” Feng Deming also felt something was wrong, bowed at him, and hurried away.

“Su Yihan, you just want to run away!” Standing on the stairs, Leng Xichen’s hand gripped the handrail.

Subconsciously, he felt that Su Yihan must have escaped while they were not paying attention. After all, she tried to escape before, another try wouldn’t be unusual.

“Master, I have asked a few guards just now, and they are sure that the young miss never ran out. I called the supervisor and found out that the young miss was in contact with a newly arrived maid named Zhang Jixiang. Because of monitoring other places that were necessary, I’m not sure where the two of them went later, but after probing, it looks like Zhang Jixiang returned to the kitchen, and I’ve sent someone to call her.” Feng Deming came over and reported the inspection results to him one by one.

“Master, are you looking for me?” As soon as his orders reached her, Zhang Jixiang instantly headed to them.

“I ask you, where did you take Miss Su at 8 o’clock, this morning?” Feng Deming looked at her.

“Miss Su? Who is Miss Su?” Zhang Jixiang stood dumbfounded. To prove that she did not see the so-called Miss Su, she explained, “I have been moving things in the basement for a long time now. Because there are so many things, I came back to find Wang Fang to help me, but I did not find her. So, when I saw a newcomer rubbing the stairs handrail, I took her with me to move things. If you don’t believe me, you can ask her.”

“You asked her to move things for you?” Leng Xichen’s face sank instantly after hearing what she said. Listening to her tone, he knew that the newcomer she talked about must be Su Yihan.

He was reluctant to relocate her, but was called by a servant to move things!

“Yes.” She didn’t understand why he was angry, but Zhang Jixiang answered honestly.

“Then? Where did she go?” Leng Xichen continued to ask in an angry tone.

“I don’t know,” Zhang Jixiang shook her head. “We went to the basement together. Since I was too tired, I went to the chair and sat down. I was going to take a little rest and move again. Then, I fell asleep unconsciously, after I woke up and saw that the boxes had been moved, I didn’t see the newcomer. I guessed she must have moved back first and locked the freezer door.” Zhang Jixiang still didn’t realize the seriousness of the problem.

“What? Freezer!” Hearing that, Leng Xichen suddenly had a bad hunch.

“Yes, we were responsible for moving things into the freezer.” Zhang Jixiang nodded.

“If something happened to her, I want you to pay with your life!” Leng Xichen took the lead and ran out of the study.

‘No, she must not be there!’

Running towards the basement, he repeated this sentence in his heart. Now, he preferred she ran away while they weren’t paying attention rather than being locked up.

He first ran to the basement and glanced at the locked freezer door in front of him. He stretched out his long legs and kicked hard, and the door shook violently.

“Su Yihan, if you are inside, make a sound!” He continued to kick the door.

Soon after his words fell, he heard a faint noise.

Is she really inside?

Having no time to think about it, he took a few steps back to accelerate and then tried his best to kick towards the door.

“Boom!” The door was kicked open in response to a firm sound.

“Yihan!” Leng Xichen saw a woman lying on the ground not far away through the broken door.

At the same time, Feng Deming and his party had rushed over.
