Chapter 172: We Have Found Out Where Young Madam Is

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Young Master, Young Madam has j-just fallen asleep.” He placed a lot of emphasis on the word ‘just’.

Mo Jiangye repeated himself eerily. “Wake her up.”

She’s asleep again? She’s been asleep since last night? She’s not even answering my calls or replying to my text messages. Has she gone missing again during the short period of my departure?

The subordinate gripped the phone tightly in his sweaty palm as he replied, “Yes, sir. Please hold on for a second.”

While holding the phone, Bo Yu pretended to look for Ye Erruo, walking at a snail’s pace as he made his way to her bedroom. When he was upstairs several minutes later, he took in a deep breath before he knocked on the bedroom door.

“Just open the d*mn door with the key!” demanded his boss.

His face was overcast with helplessness, but he could only obey the order and act accordingly.

The voice of the person on the line dropped to a whisper when he heard the sound of the door being unlocked. “Wake her up softly.”

The corners of Bo Yu’s lips twitched. Wake her up softly...

“Young Madam? Eh? Where are you, Young Madam?” After feigning a cry of surprise, he hastily started to look for the woman in the room.

Then, a maid entered the room and informed him, “Sir, Young Madam just stepped out of the house.”

“She went out? Where did she go?” he asked.

“Young Madam left right after saying that her friend was looking for her.”

He looked down at his phone. “Young Master, shall I get Young Madam to return your call when she’s back?”

Now, they could only buy themselves as much time as possible.

Alas, his boss smirked and ordered, “Go find out her location.”

His face stiffened. Nevertheless, despite knowing that his lies would soon be exposed, he braced himself and answered, “Yes, sir!”

Soon, three hours flew by, yet the subordinate still could not get hold of any news on his mistress.

Ring, ring... It was another call from Mo Jiangye.

“S-Sir, Young Master is looking for you.” A maid shot him a look of sympathy as she brought him the ringing phone.

“Young—”

“The nerve of you, Bo Yu! You even dare to lie to me now?” Mo Jiangye’s hoarse voice rose sharply and dangerously toward the end.

“Where has she gone?” The man on the other end of the line had totally hit the roof. Upon hearing that sinister voice, Bo Yu closed his eyes in silent prayer.

“We’re looking for Young Madam now. I’ll inform you right away once I have any news of her.”

“You’re looking for her? Has she gone missing again?”

When he heard the flipping sound of a table over the phone, he hastily added, “Sir, Young Madam didn’t run away this time.”

“Are you telling me that she flew away then?” The dark voice on the line took on a lower, colder tone.

He was at his wits’ end, so he could only spill the beans and confess the entire truth. In fact, he had known right from the start that things could not be kept under wraps for long. Still, he had harbored a twinge of hope that Lin Jingxuan would awake in time so that he could ask him about his lady boss’ whereabouts. Alas, the man was still unconscious.

Chills ran down his spine after he ended the phone call with his boss.

“Sir! Sir! We know where Young Madam is!” A maid came frantically into the bedroom.

His voice suddenly rose. “She’s been found? Where is she?”

“There’s a river further down the reservoir. After checking all its distributaries, we found the sash of Young Madam’s dress in one of the streams. The thing is, that particular stream is channeled toward a private estate, which we suspect is where Young Madam might be.”

Bo Yu left the Zhuang Ge Residence at once with a group of men. Hearing things like ‘Young Madam’s sash’ and ‘river’ had him breaking out in cold sweat. If their young madam were to have an accident, all of them could forget about keeping their lives!

“There’s a mountainous road leading up to that private estate, but because of the heavy downpour, a huge boulder from the mountain top has toppled and blocked a section of the road. We’re currently clearing the road.”

“Step on it!”

“Sir, Young Master Lin has awakened.” Another maid came to report this news to him.

He immediately sent a batch of people to the private estate while he made his way to the hospital.

It was past ten o’clock in the evening when Ai Er respectfully made his entrance.

“Young Master, someone’s clearing the blocked mountain road.”

A frown formed on Bo Jinyan’s forehead as he commanded, “Bring her to the back of the house at once.”

“So he has found his way here?” his friend sneered.

“I suppose so!”

“I would like to see just how capable he is of taking her away.”
