Sitting in the car, Ding Manman feels more and more strange. Why is the driver willing to take her home instead of quitting work and taking a break?
As she is thinking this, the driver stops after driving for a while and says, “Sorry, I’m going to the bathroom, please wait for me.”
Looking out of the window, Ding Manman doesn’t care if she waits a little longer. Since the driver is sure that she won’t steal his car, how could she doubt him?
With this thought, Ding Manman is staring out of the car window…
As soon as Zhong Shaoting finishes his work, he rushes back home. Along the way home, he suddenly thinks of a serious problem: he didn’t allow Ding Manman to go out before, so she had no designated driver.
And being used to drive her to work every day, he forgot to arrange a driver for her today.
Along the way, Zhong Shaoting speeds up, wanting to get home as soon as possible to see Ding Manman. On the other hand, he begins to worry a bit. After all, so many unfortunate things happened to Ding Manman before. Now her phone is still switched off, which makes him more anxious.
Everyone in the house is shocked to see their young master returns home in such a hurry.
Noticing the dinner prepared for them still untouched, Zhong Shaoting asks in anxiety, “Is Manman still not back?”
“Yes, Miss Ding hasn’t returned yet.”
Hearing the maid’s words, Zhong Shaoting is no longer in the mood to enjoy dinner. He once again rushes out of the house and gets into the car before calming down. The city is so big, and he doesn’t even have a direction to seek for her.
Unable to find Ding Manman, the first person that occurs to Zhong’s mind is Bai Beiwang.
Bai Beiwang has been waiting for An Ya to pick her up at the gate of the company. However, no one has come. Actually, she wants to leave, but she doesn’t want to disappoint her friend whom she just met a day ago, so she finds a cafe near the company to take a rest.
Hearing the phone ringing, she thinks it is An Ya’s calling, but to find it’s from Zhong Shaoting. Bai Beiwang answers the phone listlessly, “Hello, Mr. Zhong, what’s the matter?”
“Ding Manman hasn’t returned home yet, are you two together now?”
Hearing Zhong’s inquiry, Bai Beiwang feels somewhat disappointed. After she takes a look at the watch, she has a sense of something not being quite right because they two have been apart for over an hour!
Immediately lifting her spirits, Bai Beiwang says, “Manman and I separated at seven, and she said she wanted to take the bus back.”
On hearing this, Zhong Shaoting gets a little angry. He never lacked this money, why did Ding need to take the bus? It was so late. At last, he got Ding’s whereabouts.
Zhong Shaoting immediately sends his staff to check if Ding Manman is on the bus.
As there are a few bus trips to Zong’s house, it takes less than ten minutes to get the results. There’s no trace of Ding Manman on the bus.
Hearing this news, Zhong Shaoting gets more anxious. Such a silly girl! If she was lost… Why not take a taxi and why is her phone off?
At the thought of this, Zhong Shaoting can’t calm down and calls Bai Beiwang again, “I have checked that Ding Manman is not on the bus. Is it convenient for you to come over here now?”
“OK. I’ll keep an eye out on any trace of Manman on the way, please wait for me.” When Bai Beiwang heard the news of Ding’s disappearance, she is in no mood to wait for An Ya. She immediately packs up and prepares to leave.
Bai Beiwang searches for Ding Manman along the road to Zhong’s house. She suddenly sees a back of a girl, which gives her a hope. She rushes up to see her with great anticipation.
However, the one who is held back feels annoyed and says, “You’re insane!”
Bai Beiwang gets disappointed to see that the girl isn’t Manman. She says “sorry” and hurriedly walks away to continue to look for her along the road. Unluckily, until she arrives at Zhong’s house, she hasn’t found her.
Bai Beiwang feels her heart deeply touched when she sees this man who caused his brother to fail in his favorite career. She was originally here to take revenge for her brother, but she gradually fell in love with this man. At the moment of seeing Zhong Shaoting, she finds that she has more love instead of hatred. She has been missing him very much.
The priority now is to find Ding Manman as soon as possible, so she suppresses the emotions in her heart, and says to Zhong Shaoting, “Mr. Zhong, I haven’t found Manman all this way, what news did you get?”
Zhong Shaoting shakes his head blankly, “I’ve sent someone to look for her, but no trace has been found yet.”
“Think about it, do you have any enemies?” Bai Beiwang asks.
Zhong Shaoting thinks about it carefully and says, “I have quite a few enemies in business, but Ding Manman doesn’t want to publicize our relationship, so no one knows her. I don’t think that they kidnapped her.
“Whether or not Ding Manman has ever offended anyone?” Bai Beiwang asks once more.
This awakens Zhong Shaoting. “Your words remind me of somebody. A psychologist called Bai Nantian teased Manman before. I was so angry that I made most use of ‘social censure’ to make him lose his job. Do you think it’s the Bai’s family who kidnapped her? In that case, let’s go to Bai’s home now.”
After saying that, Zhong Shaoting picks up the car keys and is about to leave. But Bai Beiwang pulls Zhong Shaoting’s arm and says, “Under the circumstance, I want to tell you one thing.”
“Can’t we talk about this after we find Manman?” Zhong Shaoting asks with his eyebrows knitted.
“No, this is important and must be said now.” Bai Beiwang says with a tough attitude.
“Okay, please make it short. The longer it takes, the greater the danger that Manman may encounter.” Zhong Shaoting says impatiently.
Bai Beiwang takes a deep breath and says nervously, “Actually, I’m Bai Nantian’s sister, and the reason why I approached you with my identity concealed was to avenge for my brother!”
Hearing this, Zhong Shaoting frantically shakes Bai Beiwang’s shoulders and says, “Is that your family captured Ding Manman, right? Tell me!”
Gripped by Zhong Shaoting, Bai Beiwang feels painful on her shoulders. She pushes Zhong Shaoting away and says, “No, it’s not my family. If my family done so, why did I come over to help you find Ding Manman? Why did I confess my true identity to you?”
Zhong Shaoting gets so angry that he almost loses his reason and says hysterically, “I don’t believe you! What if you’re the one whom your family send over to confuse me? Now, hurry up and take me to your home, I have to check it myself.”
