“Li Feng, something’s happened.” Hu Yuanyuan looked up, her expression weary. Li Feng was startled. Since he’d known her, he’d never seen Hu Yuanyuan look so worn out.
As expected.
Li Feng took a deep breath and said calmly, “What happened?”
“Yu Ping is missing,” Hu Yuanyuan replied, her tone filled with helplessness and exhaustion. Both Lin Sheng and Yu Ping were personally recruited by her for the company. Now, with Lin Sheng’s betrayal and Yu Ping’s disappearance, Hu Yuanyuan was starting to doubt her ability to manage the company. How else could such critical personnel either betray or vanish in just a few days?
“Yu Ping is missing?” Li Feng was taken aback, his first thought being that Yu Ping had betrayed the company. After Lin Sheng’s precedent, Li Feng felt the company’s employees had no loyalty to speak of.
Unlike Lin Sheng’s betrayal, Yu Ping held the technology for the company’s new smart chip, which was vital. Even if Li Feng saw the chip as trivial, someone taking his creation and betraying him was something he couldn’t tolerate.
“Yes, he’s been out of contact since yesterday, and it’s now confirmed he’s missing. Li Feng, do you think Yu Ping could be another Lin Sheng?” Hu Yuanyuan’s thoughts mirrored his. Yu Ping’s disappearance at this critical time would make anyone suspect betrayal.
“No need to rush,” Li Feng said, sitting beside her. “I recall Yu Ping is from Tianhai City, right? Can we still contact his family?”
“His family doesn’t know where he is either,” Hu Yuanyuan said, frowning slightly as Li Feng sat next to her but saying nothing more.
“That’s strange. If Yu Ping wanted to betray the company, he wouldn’t need to hide it from his family. From the current situation, there are only two possibilities. First, his family is lying—they know where he is. Second, Yu Ping is genuinely missing,” Li Feng analyzed.
“What should we do then?” Hu Yuanyuan asked instinctively. A powerhouse in the business world, she had never faced a situation like this and was at a loss for how to handle it.
