The Villainous Celebrity Wife of the CEO - Chapter 149.2

She earned money from being gossiped about.

Su Jishi turned off the page, skillfully found the dialing page, and quickly pressed a series of numbers.

This phone was Fang Xie’s work number, which was on twenty-four hours a day.

The phone only rang once and was immediately picked up.

“——Hello, who is this?”

Unexpectedly, an unfamiliar and familiar female voice came from the other end of the phone.

It was strange because Su Jishi carefully went through her memory, but could not recall which staff had this voice.

It was familiar because she felt the distance between them was very, very close just from the sound of the voice.

“You are?” Su Jishi was stunned, but did not say anything rashly. Instead, she cautiously told the other party, “Please give the phone to Fang Xie, I am Su…”

“——Sister?”

“…”

“Sister? Is that you?!” The female voice on the other end of the phone became extra urgent. It was mixed with a tearful voice as it rushed into Su Jishi’s ears. “Where are you? Are you still safe?”

This ‘surprise’ came too abruptly. Su Jishi stood rooted on the ground, clutching the hot phone in her hands. The people around her looked at her with concern, but she did not know what expression to make.

“…Jinqing?” She opened her mouth, her lips trembling, and murmured, spitting out the name that was linked to her blood. These two words felt magical. When she uttered that name, she could even feel that organ that was leaping in her chest cavity, tightening up and contracting —— as if it would burst forth with infinite power in the next second.

Su Jishi totally forgot about her own safety, and a series of follow-up questions poured out of her mouth: “You’re back? When did you come back? Are you and Fang Xie together? Where exactly have you been? Do you know how worried I have been?…”

Yes, worried.

Su Jishi never admitted verbally, and even laughed at herself for coming to ‘clean up her sister’s mess’, but deep down, she was actually worried about Su Jinqing’s safety. She was afraid that her sister would do something stupid in a fit of anger and that she would go into hiding and never show up again.

Fortunately, she came back.

Before Su Jishi could finish her questions, Su Jinqing had already burst into tears on the other end of the line.

They were sisters after all. They grew on the same vine and bloomed with different colors of flowers. They were once separated because of their parents’ grudges, but they were closely linked together by accident.

Su Jinqing was sobbing so much that she couldn’t even utter a complete sentence. Su Jishi was much stronger than her during this radio wave transmission, and only sighed leisurely.

The person answering the phone changed to Fang Xie.

Fang Xie’s throat caught fire, and his voice turned into Donald Duck’s: “Sister Su! Where are you? We are going to pick you up right now!”

“I’m at…” Su Jishi reported her coordinates. On their way back to the camp earlier, she had inquired from the geological exploration team of children clearly. They were located in the southwest corner of the capital, exactly where Beijing and Hebei met. It was a hundred kilometers from the city center, and it would take more than two hours even by speed train.

“Okay, we’ll pick you up immediately!” When Fang Xie finished, he immediately spoke to some people around him before he could hang up the phone.

Su Jishi’s ears were sharp, and from the noisy background, he heard Fang Xie call the person beside him ‘Chief Wang’. He also said ‘Thank you for your help’.

Su Jishi asked, “Are you at the police station?”

“No…Um, Sister Su, the company won’t let us go to the police station.” Fang Xie explained in disgrace. He felt utterly embarrassed. “We can only think of other ways.”

Su Jishi was not stupid, and once she heard that, she understood what the company meant. First, they felt that once Su Jinqing was back, she was no longer important. Second, they were probably afraid that exposing the matter of two ‘Su Jin’ would only cause more trouble.

She knew that the company was stupid, but didn’t expect it to be stupid to this extent. In the beginning, they forced Su Jinqing to continue working in spite of her depressive symptoms; this time, for the sake of the so-called money and face, even her life could be disregarded!

Fortunately, Mu Minde left her in the wilderness, and she could find her way with her own intellect. If she really encountered any unspeakable danger, would she still be alive to go back?

There was this intense discussion on Weibo titled #WhenWillSuJin’sAgencyGoBankrupt. She also wondered how such trashy top management leaders hadn’t died violently in place.

It didn’t matter. When she returned, she and her sister would slowly settle the score with them together.

Su Jishi changed the subject and asked, “If you’re not in the police station, then where are you?”

Fang Xie answered, “We are at the Traffic Control Department to check surveillance videos.”

At first, Fang Xie regarded Su Jishi’s disappearance as a celebrity kidnapping case. The kidnappers’ ultimate purpose was to extort money. As long as the amount demanded was not excessive, the company could pay. However, they waited for a long time, but no ransom call arrived. Countless kinds of speculation poured into their hearts, so who could sit still?

The surveillance videos at the parking and the gate under the TV station were ‘lost’, so Su Jinqing proposed to directly retrieve the surveillance videos on the road where the TV station was located.

The road was wide and long, with intersections on the left and on the right. Although the security cameras couldn’t capture the TV station’s gate, they could record the oncoming traffic. If she was kidnapped, her kidnappers must have driven a car.

The problem, however, was that the procedures of obtaining traffic surveillance were particularly complicated. Without the approval of the Public Security authorities, private individuals were not allowed to view the past surveillance records.

Fang Xie made a round of phone calls, begged this grandpa and that grandma, but none of the trusted people around him could help him open the back door.

Surprisingly, in the end, Lin Yan, who had been silent, made a phone call and contacted ‘an old friend of his’, who was actually an upper-level figure in the Traffic Control Bureau!
