"Not really."
Meng Jingwei held her phone nervously. "When I spoke with Shu Yao that day, I felt something was wrong, but I couldn't pinpoint it."
She got out of bed and walked out of the hospital room to the nurses' station to borrow a phone and call Shu Yao.
Her phone rang, but no one answered.
He called her four or five times in a row, and finally, the call was answered.
However, when the call connected, there was no sound from the other end. Meng Jingwei swallowed nervously and immediately deepened her voice, asking in a male voice, "Miss Shu Yao? This is Saudi Fitness. Your membership card has expired. Tomorrow is our company's anniversary celebration, with a buy one year get one year free promotion. Do you want to participate?"
"No need."
Finally, a reply came from the other end. It was a man's voice.
And it was a voice that Meng Jingwei knew all too well.
After refusing, the person hung up.
Meng Jingwei stood by the table, her face turning pale with nervousness.
Seeing her distressed state, Qing Muyue picked her up and walked towards the hospital room. "Don't worry. For Qing Sihuai, Shu Yao still has some value for exploitation. She won't be in mortal danger for now."
Since Shu Yao was in trouble, based on the timeline, it wasn't difficult to imagine who had captured her.
Even if Meng Jingwei hadn't said it, Qing Muyue knew it was Qing Sihuai.
Back in the room and lying on the hospital bed, Meng Jingwei's mind was filled with thoughts of Shu Yao and her child.
She reached up and patted her forehead, blaming herself. "It's all my fault. I noticed something was off with Shu Yao from the beginning, but I didn't think much of it, which led to her being in danger. That scoundrel Qing Sihuai, has he gone mad!"
Qing Muyue went to pour Meng Jingwei a cup of tea and handed it to her. "Drink some water first and calm down."
"How can I have the mood to drink water now?"
She shook her head and refused.
Seeing her in a bad mood, Qing Muyue placed the water on the table. He sat on the companion chair and held her hand. "When things happen, you should be even more calm and collected. Because your enemy is even calmer than you are right now. If you can't remain calm and collected, how can you deal with your enemy's traps?"
Qing Muyue knew that Shu Yao was very important to Meng Jingwei and that their friendship was deep.
Shu Yao's incident was also a threat to Qing Muyue.
But no matter how serious the situation, he would remain calm and rational.
Meng Jingwei, whose thoughts had been chaotic and worried, began to adjust her emotions after hearing Qing Muyue's words.
She leaned against the headboard, her hand restlessly holding his, her gaze distant and unfocused as she looked ahead, lost in thought. "Now that the mother and child are likely in Qing Sihuai's hands, he is outnumbered and, considering the influence of Anthony and Shu Yao's parents, he probably won't harm Shu Yao for now."
Qing Muyue nodded in agreement with her rational analysis. "Not too stupid."
"But even if Qing Sihuai doesn't harm Shu Yao now, he will eventually hand her over to Anthony. That person is so extreme and perverted; who knows what despicable methods he might use against Shu Yao."
Thinking of this, Meng Jingwei became anxious. "It's been several days, and Shu Yao is so timid. She must be suffering terribly."
She tilted her head to look out the window, her brow furrowed.
Qing Muyue watched her, sensing her deep worry from her profile.
He didn't tell Meng Jingwei that Anthony had already arrived in Lancheng today, and his company had suffered billions in losses due to a leak.
The person behind the clandestine operations had likely joined forces with Anthony.
Qing Muyue had suppressed the news to prevent Meng Jingwei from worrying and to avoid causing turmoil in the company.
