100 Days Of Escaping My Wedding-Chapter 497: The Sky Has Fallen

Xie Yan said, "The boss has already made it clear that no one on the street dares to mess with our people! It’s most likely that the kid just went out to play and ran away, we’ll find him and bring him back."

Xiaoqiao squatted down powerlessly, hugging her knees, her heart nearly breaking with anxiety.

Xiao Nian, where on earth did you go...

These past few days, the little one seemed not to be in good spirits, often looking at her with an expression as if he had something to say but then stopping himself. He also no longer clung to her asking for bedtime stories at night, and during the day, he liked to be alone in the garden, muttering to the flowers and plants or daydreaming...

If she had been more attentive and had taken the time to chat with him, perhaps today’s incident wouldn’t have happened. But now it was too late for any regrets.

"Hey... you’re not crying, are you?" Seeing Xiaoqiao’s state, Xie Yan was somewhat irritated. After all, it was their negligence that led to the child going missing.

"I told you we’d find him and bring him back!" Xie Yan said before he turned and left to look for people to help.

"Wait for our news," Ling Hao sighed.

Xiaoqiao slowly got up after watching the two leave.

She was just about to make a phone call when she received an incoming call.

It was from Shen Letian.

Without waiting for Shen Letian to speak, Xiaoqiao immediately asked, "How is it? Is Xiao Nian at the company?"

"Huh, little fox, you knew? This boy said he snuck out without telling you!"

Xiaoqiao heaved a sigh of relief, "He sneaked out, and I’ve been looking for him all morning. I just guessed he might have gone to the company!"

"You better hurry over here! This unfortunate kid insists that I’ve hidden the boss away, and he’s making a fuss at me right now!"

"I’ll be right there."

－

Twenty minutes later, Xiaoqiao took a cab to the company.

She could clearly sense that the atmosphere throughout the company was very tense; people were hurrying back and forth with worried expressions.

Wearing sunglasses that covered most of her face, she finished her phone call downstairs and waited for Shen Letian to come pick her up, overhearing the quiet discussions of the passing employees in the meantime.

"Is it really true? Could the president have actually been assassinated?"

"I think it’s doubtful! Why else would the company be in such turmoil and he hasn’t shown up!"

"Oh my God! No way! How could someone be so heartless, and how could it be so easy to plot against a man like the president!"

"Shush! Keep it down! Be careful not to bring trouble upon yourself! Who can tell what’s going on between those higher-ups!"

"The SA Group won’t go bankrupt, will it? The president’s death would bring the sky crashing down!"

"It’s not the sky crashing down, it’s a change of regime! I don’t know why, but the vice-presidents seem to have broken with the finance director, driving the person away, and it looks like Tang Shao has been planning to start his own venture for three years now, probably leaving the company soon.

The whole company is falling apart, and those old shareholders who only take money without contributing are sure to seize power at such an opportunity! They’ve been having meetings non-stop these past few days, likely to force a new CEO election, and everybody’s eyeing Cold Shao’s vacant position!"

"How could this happen! It’s so dark! The president’s safety hasn’t even been confirmed, and they dare to be so bold!"

"If they dare to do this... I think it’s probably more bad news than good! No matter how glorious one was in the past, when a tree falls, everyone pushes it over! Sigh! We’re just workers here; we’d better focus on our jobs and keep out of trouble!"

...

Soon, a junior secretary came and took Xiaoqiao to Shen Letian’s office upstairs.
