Chapter 85 Ugly Duckling's Comeback, Squeezing Out the School Beauty, and Becoming Couples with
Faced with Ye Xingchen's questioning, Lin Jingya merely glanced at him disdainfully, not even deigning to look at him properly.
This was the first time Ye Xingchen had taken the initiative to speak to her since she was released from detention.
"Explain yourself!"
Ye Xingchen grew increasingly anxious, his hands clenched into fists. If looks could kill, Lin Jingya would probably have been torn to pieces by now.
Even so, Lin Jingya remained unmoved, and instead secretly felt a sense of pleasure.
"What did you say? Ye, the school heartthrob? Do you think I can crawl inside Mu Wanwan's stomach and become a tapeworm? How would I know where she went? You two are always inseparable, and now that she's disappeared, instead of asking yourselves first, you come to blame me?" Lin Jingya said sarcastically.
Upon hearing this, Ye Xingchen glared fiercely at Lin Jingya before anxiously looking around, trying to find Mu Wanwan's familiar figure.
No matter how hard he looked around, he couldn't find any trace of Mu Wanwan.
In desperation, he turned around abruptly and grabbed a passing waiter, asking impatiently, "Did you see the girl in the white dress with long, straight black hair that reached her waist who was sitting here just now? Where did she go?" He was like a desperate man grasping at straws, as anxious as a headless fly.
The young waiter held the tray tightly, as if afraid the glasses inside would fall because of his nervousness.
He shook his head anxiously at Ye Xingchen in front of him, indicating that he had not seen Mu Wanwan.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, like a ray of dawn in the darkness.
He quickly stopped, took out his phone from his pocket, and dialed a number as fast as he could.
When he heard the familiar voice on the other end of the phone, he said anxiously, "Uncle Mu, something terrible has happened! Wanwan is missing! Could you please ask the hotel to check the security footage immediately? I'm really worried that every minute we delay will put Wanwan in greater danger!"
He quickly hung up the phone, his heart still pounding in his chest.
Unexpectedly, less than a minute later, the hotel manager came running over in a panic.
He rushed into the banquet hall, panting, snatched the microphone from the stage, and shouted, "Mr. Ye Xingchen, please come to me immediately! It's extremely urgent!"
A sudden shout erupted in the banquet hall, instantly silencing the previously noisy scene. All eyes turned to the stage, filled with doubt and worry.
Upon hearing the call, Ye Xingchen strode forward without hesitation, rushing onto the stage like a gust of wind.
He responded loudly, "I am Ye Xingchen!"
Before he could finish speaking, the supervisor hurriedly waved for him to follow. So, the two of them quickly left the stage and hurried off in a certain direction.
As they left, the once bustling banquet hall fell into an eerie silence.
People looked at each other, whispering amongst themselves, wondering what had happened.
What's even more surprising is that, at some point, many bodyguards in uniform appeared around the banquet hall.
These bodyguards were well-trained and swift in action, quickly surrounding the entire banquet venue and forming an impenetrable defensive line.
Just then, another man in a sharp suit, exuding an air of confidence, strode onto the stage.
He first gave a graceful, slight bow to the audience, then calmly picked up the microphone from the podium, cleared his throat, and addressed everyone with a smile but a serious tone: "Dear colleagues, respected teachers, and dear students, please allow me, on behalf of the organizers, to apologize to you all. I'm sure you've all noticed what just happened: our chairman's daughter has suddenly disappeared from this banquet for unknown reasons."
In light of this unexpected situation, and to ensure the young lady's safety and locate her as quickly as possible, we have no choice but to temporarily seal off the entire banquet venue. From now on, no one is allowed to enter or leave this area without permission. We hope you will understand our predicament and the constraints we face!
The banquet hall, which was already somewhat noisy due to the previous incident, erupted into chaos again upon hearing these words, as if a bomb had been dropped on it.
In an instant, all sorts of voices mingled together: shouts of surprise, questions of confusion, and tense discussions... rising and falling, never ceasing.
"What? Chairman Mu's daughter has gone missing? And she disappeared at such an important occasion? This is unbelievable!" a classmate exclaimed in astonishment.
"Yeah, the key question is, who exactly is this Chairman Mu's daughter? Could she be a student in the same grade as us? But how come I've never heard of having such a prominent classmate?" Another classmate looked bewildered and couldn't help but start whispering complaints.
"Don't you know? In the past, when our school held banquets like this, the venue was usually an auditorium or conference room on campus."
However, this year, for the first time ever, the banquet was held at a luxury hotel owned by the Mu family.
You should know that this hotel isn't a place that just anyone with money can book.
I've been wondering for a while what could have prompted the school to make such a significant change.
"Now it seems that the mysterious person who provided the sponsorship might actually be Chairman Mu himself!" A classmate who looked quite shrewd boldly offered his guess.
"It was held at a hotel and they only gave us a last-minute notice. No wonder! Who would have thought that the richest man's daughter goes to the same school as us? Otherwise, why would she suddenly disappear at the banquet? And aren't all the people attending this banquet today classmates from our school?" Someone in the crowd couldn't help but chime in.
For a moment, everyone started whispering among themselves, filled with curiosity and doubt. Which girl in the room could be the mysterious heiress of the Mu family?
Lin Jingya's pretty face, which had been secretly smug, instantly turned ashen white, completely devoid of color.
Besides Ye Xingchen, who knew perfectly well that Mu Wanwan had mysteriously disappeared, there was another person who also knew about this situation—that was Lin Jingya herself.
