Chapter 1053: Do Not Harm My Child (16)
Shen Liangchuan’s arm was now swollen because of the hit from the double.
A doctor was tending the injury.
He picked up his cell phone. His pupils shrank the moment he read the message and he withdrew his injured arm.
Even though it was painful, there was no time for delay.
He quickly picked up his cell phone and called Qiao Lian.
However, as soon as the call went through, it was disconnected.
When he tried calling again, the phone had been turned off.
Shen Liangchuan sprang up from his seat and, despite the fact that he was still dressed in Zhou Yu’s costume, he dashed out of the filming location. “Song Cheng, the car! Back to the hotel!”
“Roger.”
Shen Liangchuan rushed from the filming location to the hotel at top speed.
The moment he got out of the car, a service worker came up to him and greeted him, “Mr. Shen—”
Before she could finish her sentence, she jumped in fright due to the historical costume he was wearing. Ignoring all of this, Shen Liangchuan dashed towards the elevator.
After getting into the elevator, which took him to the 18th floor, he charged towards Qiao Lian’s room.
He had her card key, but it didn’t work when he tried. The door remained shut.
There was a cleaner nearby, hence he asked, “Where’s the guest in this room?”
The cleaner said, “She checked out. I’ve just cleaned the room.”
Checked out.
Shen Liangchuan suddenly halted and stood on the spot.
Why had Xiao Qiao left?
Was it because he had said that she should return to Suzhou to recuperate, rather than asking her to return to Beijing with him? Was that why she had left without another word?
He frowned and took a deep breath.
After a moment, Song Cheng ran up to him, trying to catch his breath. “Brother Shen, what’s the matter?”
He looked at Qiao Lian’s room. “Has something happened to Sister Qiao?”
Shen Liangchuan paused and then said, “She’s left.”
“Left? Where has she gone?” Song Cheng asked again.
Ms. Qiao had left once previously. Why had she gone away again?
He widened his eyes and looked at Shen Liangchuan. But Shen Liangchuan was speechless.
He shook his head and calmed himself down.
Song Cheng tried to comfort the man, “Brother Shen, don’t worry. Sister Qiao has always taken good care of herself. Besides, she has some money on hand now. Life won’t be too tough. I’ll send people to look for her and will update you once we’ve found her.”
Shen Liangchuan lowered his head upon hearing this.
After a pause, he said, “Check Suzhou, whether she has gone home indeed.”
Song Cheng nodded and replied, “Roger.”
After more thinking, he added, “Then check with reception who did the checking-out.”
He had to make sure if it had been Qiao Lian herself.
Song Cheng nodded. “Roger.”
After five minutes, Song Cheng replied to Shen Liangchuan, “It was Sister Qiao who checked out, her assistant managed the process.”
Shen Liangchuan was now in room 1809. He nodded after he heard this.
He got to his feet and was about to say something when his cell phone rang.
He stopped short and quickly picked up the call. It was Shen Zihao’s voice at the other end of the line.
He was sobbing like a lost and helpless child. “Big brother, Nuannuan is still unconscious. The doctor says that if she doesn’t wake up after tonight, she’ll never wake up again! Big brother, what do I do? Will Nuannuan be unconscious forever?”
Shen Liangchuan felt a faint ache in his heart upon hearing this.
After a pause, he said, “Don’t worry, she will wake up.”
After he hung up the call, he frowned and instructed Song Cheng, “Book me a flight to Beijing for tonight. You stay here and give me a call once you’re sure that Xiao Qiao is back in Suzhou.”
“Roger.”
