The Male Lead Suddenly Became My Lapdog after I Annulled Our Engagement

Last night’s incident had blown up too much, and after the live broadcast that had made it to the top of the search list this morning, the entire company knew that their future Young Mrs Jing had been involved in a scandal of sisters tearing each other’s hair.

Seeing He Miao, the receptionist did not dare to stop her. When she entered the elevator, she quickly informed the head secretary upstairs, Chen Zhao. When he received the news, He Miao was already standing in front of the door to the office on the top floor.

Jing Yan personally came out of the office to welcome her. He put his arm around her waist with a smile and led her into the office.

!!

Chen Zhao followed one step behind, quietly listening to his president gently comfort his future wife.

This time, He Miao was not so easy to fool. She stopped in her tracks and refused to take another step with him. She turned to the side and suspiciously sized up the situation in the secretary offices next door. Suddenly, an ominous feeling rose in her heart. “Why is Xu Ling missing?”

As usual, Xu Ling would report to her on time every morning about the renovation progress of the previous day. During this period of time, He Miao did not receive a single message from her this morning. That was why He Miao anxiously asked for leave from school and came to the company to see what was going on without even informing Jing Yan.

Sure enough, Xu Ling was not working in the secretaries’ offices. Her body seemed to have evaporated in an instant and disappeared without a trace.

Jing Yan knew that he could not hide it from her, so he led her to the sofa and sat her down. He said slowly, “Don’t worry about Xu Ling. Our people have found some clues. We can only make a move when everything is ready to rescue the reporter and Xu Ling.”

He Miao was slightly taken aback. She stared at Chen Zhao guiltily pouring her tea. His voice suddenly trembled. “You mean, Xu Ling was also taken away by that man in the hoodie?”

Jing Yan nodded with a dark expression. Seeing her stunned look, his heart ached for her. “Don’t worry. I guess they won’t do anything to them for the time being, because that will only draw fire to themselves and make things more complicated. At least they won’t be in danger.

“But it’s very likely that the other party is someone Ren Zhong sent out.” He Miao furrowed her brows, her thoughts falling to the bottom of the valley.

Xu Ling must have gotten involved in this for her. He Miao suddenly hated herself for being slow and self-righteous. If she had done something to refute He Wei in public yesterday, perhaps everyone’s attention would be on her now. At least, she would not have involved the innocent people around her.

Jing Yan knew what she was worried about, so he pulled her into his arms and coaxed her, “Actually, if you look at it from another perspective, this might be an opportunity.”

“What opportunity?” He Miao looked up at him in confusion.

Jing Yan’s deep voice came from above, and He Miao could clearly feel the vibration of his chest as he spoke. “Since Xu Ling is already involved, we can attack them openly.”

Yesterday, they still had to avoid the rumors and try their best to draw a clear line between them so that He Miao would not be dragged further into the matter. Now that the official employees of the company were also involved in this matter and had been kidnapped from their homes, it would be perfectly justifiable for Jing Yan to get involved again. Even the police could not find any fault with him.

He Miao frowned and sat up straight. She looked at Chen Zhao, who was looking down, and the worried Jing Yan, and quickly calmed down. “Tell me everything that happened before and after Xu Ling was taken away.”

Chen Zhao first looked at Jing Yan, who was silently agreeing, then told her in detail what Xu Ling had done and how she had been kidnapped at home.

He Miao’s heart trembled with fear when she heard this. It turned out that the girl had actually done such a dangerous thing behind her back to prove her innocence without her knowledge.

Now that Xu Ling’s life was uncertain, He Miao had to do something to make up for it.

She forced herself to calm down and cleared her mind of everything. Suddenly, she had an idea and thought of something very important. She looked up at Chen Zhao and said, “You’re saying that Xu Ling called you first after she came out of the hospital and said that she found out something important. That He Wei wasn’t injured at all?”

“Yes, what’s wrong?” Chen Zhao nodded in surprise. “Is there a problem?”

“Of course there’s a problem!” He Miao stood up abruptly and said with an excited expression, “She asked you to tell Jing Yan about this matter directly. She didn’t ask you to send someone else to verify it and find concrete evidence, right?”

“Yeah.” Chen Zhao frowned. He suddenly realized that something was wrong.

In fact, the key to the problem was their understanding of Xu Ling’s ability to handle things. If this matter was handled by the old Tao Xin, there would be no evidence. However, if it was Xu Ling, that lack of action would feel strange.
