Chapter 493 Disappearance

Sheng Tingchen hung up the phone and looked at Rong Shu, "Let's go, I'll take you home first."

This surprised Rong Shu. She thought he would try to find a way to get her to go with him. Just as she was looking away, she heard him say, "Want to go?"

Rong Shu strode forward, "You'd better take me back quickly."

Sheng Tingchen strode forward and reached out to take her hand.

Half an hour later.

Back at the apartment.

The housekeeper placed all the purchased items in the living room.

Sheng Tingchen went to the dressing room to change his clothes.

By the time he was dressed and the maid had styled his hair, almost forty minutes had passed.

Rong Shu was in the living room.

As the man emerged, he exuded the air of a business elite, the only tie on his collar still untied, held in his hand.

Sheng Tingchen looked at her and said, "Come here."

Rong Shu paused for a few seconds, then stood up and walked forward, stopping in front of the man. She took the tie from his hand, then wrapped one arm around his neck and tied it around his neck.

Sheng Tingchen looked down at the woman in front of him, his handsome face gentle, and reminded her, "Don't tie it too tight this time."

Upon hearing this, Rong Shu paused, looked up and met the man's pair of deep, dark eyes. "You've reminded me."

Sheng Tingchen raised an eyebrow.

With the final tightening motion, Rong Shu deliberately pulled harder. Just as she was about to pull her hand back, the man raised his hand and grasped hers. With his other hand, he wrapped his arms around her waist, and with a slight pull, she pressed herself directly against his chest. The overwhelming scent of his body pressed down on her, carrying a strong heat.

His narrow eyes narrowed slightly. "He was definitely up to no good."

Rong Shu looked at the man and raised her voice, "Are you that fragile?"

The man's lips curved slightly as he leaned close to the woman's ear and whispered, "I'd be happy if you used those wicked ideas in bed more often."

Upon hearing this...

Rong Shu's expression changed instantly, and she reached out to push him away.

Sheng Tingchen cupped the woman's head, nodded, and kissed her deeply and passionately. He didn't kiss her for long before slowly releasing her, saying, "I can't take you to the airport tomorrow, remember to call me."

Rong Shu's lips were slightly parted as she breathed rapidly. After a while, she calmed down, looked up at him, and said, "Aren't you going to leave?"

Sheng Tingchen released her. "I'm leaving. I won't have time to have dinner with you tonight."

The man strode towards the door.

Rong Shu stood there watching the man's departing figure.

Until I heard the door close.

Rong Shu slowly withdrew her gaze.

Dinner has just been prepared.

Rong Shu ate dinner alone.

That night.

I don't know why, but I had insomnia and didn't sleep well.

I woke up the next day.

Rong Shu reached for her phone on the bedside table and glanced at it; there were no messages.

She put her phone back where it was, lifted the covers, and got out of bed.

I've had breakfast.

The maid had already packed her luggage, and Sheng Tingchen had arranged a flight for her to depart at 1 p.m. today.

11 points.

The driver was already waiting downstairs.

The housekeeper pushed her luggage downstairs with her, waited for Rong Shu to get into the car, and watched her leave.

The car traveled a distance.

Looking at the street scene flashing by outside the car window, Rong Shu took out her phone from her bag, opened her contacts, and dialed Sheng Tingchen's number.

However, no one answered the phone until it automatically disconnected.

Rong Shu put down her phone, frowned, and stared at the screen. She immediately called again, but still no one answered.

In a short time.

Her breathing became heavier.

As she exited the app and prepared to call David, a news notification popped up on her phone with the headline: "Cruise ship encountered storm last night..."

Rong Shu's heart tightened suddenly. She clicked on the news and learned that a luxury cruise ship sailing in the Atlantic Ocean encountered a strong storm last night, resulting in fifty people missing and hundreds injured.

Rong Shu gripped her phone tightly and called David directly.

The call was answered quickly.

"Evelynn".

"David, were you with Sheng Tingchen last night?"

David could tell that something was wrong with her tone. "I was planning to take a helicopter to board the ship today, but I can't get in touch with Tingchen now. The maritime patrol is searching, and I've added more people."

Suddenly, he said jokingly, "If Tingchen really gets into trouble, Evelynn, you can't just get a divorce so easily."

Upon hearing this...

Rong Shu's voice turned cold. "David! There's a time and place for jokes."

David smiled and said, "I admit I was wrong, okay? Don't worry, Tingchen is tough as nails, he'll be fine. Don't worry, I'll contact you again once I find him."

Rong Shu put down her phone, her fingertips, which were gripping it tightly, turning slightly white.

She read the news report carefully again and learned that the cruise ship had not capsized, but had only suffered a huge impact.

Disappearance meant falling into the sea, and in the vast, deep sea at night, she couldn't bear to think about it anymore.

But Sheng Tingchen has the absolute ability to save himself. Even if he encounters a crisis, he cannot fall into the sea. At this moment, his mind is in a state of indescribable confusion.

She instructed the driver, "Turn around."

At this time.

Her phone vibrated, and when she saw the caller ID, Rong Shu's heart tightened. She tried her best to control her emotions, calm herself down, and took a deep breath to answer the call.

"Beautiful."

Meimei hasn't called her parents these past few days, but she still misses them so much and wants to talk to her mother.

"Mother."

Hearing her daughter's soft, sweet voice, Rong Shu felt waves of unease and fear welling up inside her, and the fear was about to engulf her.

"Why isn't my baby asleep yet?"

Meimei is snuggled up in bed by herself right now. "I just got up to pee, and now I want to call Mom and talk to her. Is Daddy with Mommy?"

Suppressing the surging emotions in her chest, Rong Shu answered Mei Mei's question in a normal tone, "Daddy is at work, and it's getting late, baby. Go to sleep early, and we'll contact you again when you wake up, okay? Children shouldn't stay up late."

Meimei obediently replied, "Okay then, I'll get up and call Mom again."

"Okay, sweetie, go to sleep now, goodnight."

I hung up the phone.

Rong Shu couldn't hold back her emotions and let out a breath. Her face turned pale instantly. She dared not continue to think wildly.

When we got back to the apartment...

When the butler saw her return and noticed she seemed unwell, he quickly went up to her and asked, "Madam, what's wrong?"

Rong Shu said, "Sheng Tingchen has gone missing. Go and contact the relevant departments now to get the latest information."

The butler was startled and quickly replied, "Yes."

Then he instructed the servants to help Rong Shu back to her room to rest.

I just went upstairs.

Rong Shu received a call from an unknown number, but she recognized it. She answered the phone, unable to contain her emotions, "Hello!"

Su Qingzhi sensed something was wrong in her tone and asked worriedly, "Xiao Shu, are you alright?"

"I'm fine. Sheng Tingchen is missing and we can't get in touch with him," she said directly.

"I know, I'm on my way to the airport now."
