Chapter 1739
Full Marks Hidden Marriage: Pick Up a Son, Get a Free Husband
At Ling Zhizhiâs office in Glory World Entertainment.
Xiao Tao panted as she knocked to enter. âSis Zhizhi! Bro Xiâs house⦠and all of the places that Bro Xi might have gone⦠Iâve searched them all⦠but I still canât find herâ¦â
âSheâs not at any of those places?â Ling Zhizhiâs expression sunk when she heard her.
In this period of time, Ning Xiâs filming had gone on one after another. She almost had not taken any rest, so after âThunderbolt Secret Service Squadâ finished shooting, she had given Ning Xi a long break to let her rest well.
Even though she was on break, in case there was an emergency, as usual, she had especially urged Ning Xi that communicating via the phone would still be necessary.
In this aspect, Ning Xi had always acted accordingly. Basically, she would not worry her, but who would have thought that this time, there would be a problem?
Tonight was the premiere of âNine Realmsâ. Initially, she had asked Xiao Tao to call Ning Xi to post on Weibo to promote and interact with her fans and drive up the ratings. However, Ning Xiâs handphone and home landline could not be contacted. Xiao Tao was worried and went to Ning Xiâs house to look for her, but she did not find her. After that, she had even gone to the places she frequented, yet she was nowhere to be found.
Xiao Tao wiped the sweat on her brow. âYes, Iâve looked everywhere! What do we do now, Sis Zhizhi? Something couldnât have happened to Bro Xi, could it?â
âDonât be nonsensical.â
âOkayâ¦â Xiao Tao quickly kept quiet, then her eyes lit up. She suggested, âSis Zhizhi, thereâs someone who can definitely get in touch with Bro Xi!â
âWho?â
âBig Boss!â Xiao Tao blurted out, âHow about we call the Big Boss to ask?â
Ling Zhizhi thought hard about it. That personâs identity was rather special, and she was just a mere manager, so directly calling to ask for Ning Xiâs whereabouts was probably inappropriate.
After Ling Zhizhi considered it over and over again, she made the call.
It had probably rung seven or eight times before the call got through. A sleepy voice picked up. âManager Ling⦠If you donât have a good reason for waking me upâ¦â
âNing Xi is missing. Do you have any way of getting in touch with her?â Ling Zhizhi asked frankly.
The other end of the phone was quiet for two seconds, then the manâs voice was clearly much more awake. âNing Xi is missing? What do you mean?â
âTonight is the premiere of âNine Realmâ. I initially wanted to ask her to post on Weibo, but we canât get through to her phone. Weâve looked for her at home and the places she usually frequents, but we couldnât find her,â Ling Zhizhi quickly explained the situation.
âTsk, this fella⦠Is she hiding somewhere to drink again? Canât believe she didnât call me for a drink!â muttered Jiang Muye.
âNing Xi isnât someone whoâd act inappropriately,â insisted Ling Zhizhi.
âPlease! Did you forget about the last time she went crazy at the bar and almost caused a fan rebellion?â Jiang Muye immediately dug up an old story.
âIâm just worried somethingâs happened to herâ¦â
âYouâre thinking too much! Even if something happened. It would happen to someone else, ok?â Jiang Muye mocked. However, when he considered Ling Zhizhiâs anxious tone, he kindly said, âFine, Iâll help you look for her!â
âOkay, and may I trouble you to help me check if sheâs with CEO Lu?â
âOhâ¦â Jiang Muye was suddenly astonished in the next second. âBloody heck! You⦠How do you know about her and my uncle?â
âThis isnât the main point.â
âHow is it not the main point? Gosh! Iâm still counting on using this against that girl! She was afraid of you finding out! Now, thereâs no more fun,â Jiang Muye said with a pained tone.
Ling Zhizhi fell into a speechless silence.
