Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon's Reluctant Love-Chapter 215 - 214: Her disappearance made him search for her like a madman
Chapter 215: Chapter 214: Her disappearance made him search for her like a madman
Hearing Gu Siting’s words, Xia Yiwan’s eyes widened.
Once she realized the implications, she didn’t care about his status anymore and said indignantly, “You haven’t hurt Yaoyao again, have you? If anything happens to Yaoyao, I, I will fight you to the end!”
Father Xia and Mother Xia hastily grabbed the fierce Xia Yiwan, gesturing with their eyebrows to her to restrain herself and not speak rashly to offend Fourth Master.
Usually, Xia Yiwan was intimidated by Fourth Master Gu, but when it came to Yaoyao, she was not so scared anymore.
As her best friend, she naturally had to stand up for Yaoyao, “Hasn’t Yaoyao been tirelessly taking care of you in the hospital recently? Shouldn’t you treat her well? How did you manage to make her disappear again?”
Seeing Xia Yiwan’s attitude, Gu Siting’s brows furrowed tightly.
Gu Siting was always serious and rarely smiled. Without a smile, he was disdainful and indifferent, let alone now with his whole face looking even grim.
The whole person seemed particularly harsh and chilling.
Father Xia and Mother Xia were so frightened that their legs trembled.
Although they were newly rich, their foundations were unstable. If Fourth Master gave the order, they could truly become rural breeders!
“Xia Yiwan, how can you speak to Fourth Master like that? Apologize right now!”
“Why should I apologize? Yaoyao is his wife, not his enemy. He’s constantly upsetting Yaoyao; is he even a man?”
The air around them seemed to freeze instantly.
Father Xia and Mother Xia wished they could kick Xia Yiwan into the Pacific Ocean.
Just when the couple thought Fourth Master would explode with rage, he spoke with a deep voice, “Sorry for the disturbance!”
He turned around and got into the Bentley.
Father Xia and Mother Xia were dumbfounded.
Xia Yiwan did not care about her parents’ feelings. She quickly took out her phone to call Ming Yao. When the call didn’t go through, she sent a WeChat message.
However, after waiting for a long time, there was still no response.
Where on earth had Yaoyao gone?
What had caused her to fall out with Fourth Master this time?
…
Gu Siting drove back to Imperial Garden.
His chest felt suffocated and heavy, like he couldn’t breathe.
If he had known that revealing the secret buried deep in his heart would cause such a reaction from her, he would have never said it!
She said she would not return to Tang Sect, but she also hadn’t contacted Jing Hang or Xia Yiwan—
Was she planning to silently hide away somewhere and die quietly?
This foolish woman!
Gu Siting had dispatched countless people and used all his connections to search for Ming Yao throughout the city.
Time ticked by minute by minute, and still, there was no news of Ming Yao.
Jing Hang was also nearly going insane!
He came to Imperial Garden and saw Gu Siting, who hadn’t slept for two days and two nights. The punch Jing Hang intended to throw was forcefully held back.
It was apparent that, with his nominal wife missing, he was not well either!
“Senior Sister has the ability to counter investigation. If she doesn’t want to be found, it’s very hard for others to locate her!”
Gu Siting’s eyes were bloodshot, his large hand gripping his phone tightly. Without any news from her, he kept dialing her number over and over, but it was constantly showing as switched off.
The phone screen was almost crushed by him!

Even though he could turn Li City upside down with his influence, he could not find his own wife!
This feeling of powerlessness filled him with intense anxiety and restlessness.
Two days had already passed, and in a few more days, she could face insomnia and death again!
He dared not think any further!
He clenched his teeth tightly, secretly swearing to himself that he would find her. He wouldn’t let her die!
Gu Siting made a call to Lu Zhou, “Even if I have to turn every corner of Li City upside down, I will find her traces!”
Under such frantic searching and seeking, they finally discovered that on the day Ming Yao left, she had boarded a bus headed for the suburbs.
But the bus’s surveillance footage showed that Ming Yao got off in the suburb.
There were many places in the suburbs without surveillance cameras, making it very difficult to find out where exactly she had gone.
Gu Siting stood at the place where Ming Yao alighted, his jaw clenched tight, his hands balled into fists.
He closed his eyes, bloodshot with strain, forcing himself to calm down.
But the more he tried to be calm, the less he could.
She hid herself somewhere, alone, quietly waiting for death!
Knowing that insomnia could kill her, yet waiting for death’s arrival—how torturous and excruciating must that be?
How could she be so foolish?
Guilt, frustration, heaviness—countless emotions interwove within Gu Siting’s chest. During the time she had been missing, he hadn’t eaten a single grain of rice, his chest was in agony, and he smoked one cigarette after another.
In the vast sea of people, she was but a drop in the ocean. If she really wanted to hide, could he truly find her?
When she was still with the Tang Sect, did she also hide away so that her Senior Brother couldn’t find her, which led to her premature death?
She was so fierce, so resolute!
He couldn’t watch her die again!
Gu Siting stood at the crossroads in the suburb, gazing at the undulating green mountains. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his muddled mind.
One of the roads led to Pingshan Village.
The last time she suffered from insomnia, Jing Hang took her to Pingshan Village to find him.
During those days living in the mountains, she got along harmoniously with the children and often had a smile on her lips.
It was obvious that she liked it there.
Could it be—
Thinking there was a possibility, Gu Siting immediately had Lu Zhou prepare a helicopter.
Jing Hang, worried about Ming Yao, and Xia Yiwan both followed Gu Siting onto the helicopter.
Over two hours later, the helicopter arrived at the Hope Primary School in Pingshan Village.
The sudden appearance of Gu Siting surprised the principal and the others.
“Fourth Master, why have you suddenly come?”
Gu Siting didn’t beat around the bush and directly asked, “The Miss Ming who came to find me last time, has she been here recently?”
The principal shook his head, “No, she hasn’t!”
All the blood in Gu Siting’s body seemed to turn cold.
He stood there petrified, feeling as if a blow had struck him on the head.
She hadn’t come here!
Had he guessed wrong?
Seeing the pallor and rigidity of Gu Siting, Lu Zhou carefully said, “Fourth Master, we will definitely find the wife. She’s a fortunate person and will surely come to no harm!”
Gu Siting’s eyes were red, his body felt as if all strength had been drained from it.
“It has been three days already!” His voice was hoarse to the point of being unrecognizable.
It was very likely that she didn’t sleep the night before she left, either.
Jing Hang was also in a desperate hurry, his hands clenched into fists, punching the wall several times.
Seeing Gu Siting and Jing Hang so anxious, as if not finding Yaoyao meant she would die, Xia Yiwan’s eyes reddened as she said, “Can anyone tell me, what exactly will happen to Yaoyao if we can’t find her?”
Both Gu Siting and Jing Hang were immersed in their thoughts, not responding to Xia Yiwan’s question.
In this situation, Xia Yiwan became even more panicked and confused.
Xia Yiwan, driven by desperation, started asking around the school, and when she reached an auntie in the kitchen, the auntie hesitated.
“The day before yesterday, I think I saw a figure like Miss Ming down at the foot of the mountain. I called out to her, but she didn’t respond, and I thought it was just my eyes deceiving me.”
