Rebirth of the entertainment industry and the return of the queen

Chapter 428 The Secret Door
Xia Ling's heart sank, and she hurried out: "Call me."

On the phone, it was Chu Chen's voice: "Miss Ye, do you know where the boss is now? I have something very important to contact him, but I can't get in touch. I have searched the office and all possible places. I didn’t see anyone, and I asked many people, but I don’t know where the boss went.”

Xia Ling frowned, actually she didn't know where he was, she hadn't seen him since he turned and left the bedroom last night.Worried that something would happen to him, Xia Ling said to Chu Chen, "Don't hang up the phone."

He hurriedly ran to another phone and dialed Pei Ziheng's cell phone - there was an exclusive number between them, he said, it was always on for her at all times.

The bell rang, it was "Perfect Dream", the song Xia Ling composed for him back then.

However, after ringing for a long time, no one answered.Xia Ling panicked, such a situation had never happened before.Although she hated him in her heart, she couldn't control herself not to worry about him when something happened to him after spending more than ten years together day and night.What happened to Pei Ziheng? Did something happen?

He quickly called Zhou's mother and asked her if she knew where Pei Ziheng had gone.

But Zhou's mother didn't know, and said that she had searched the house and found no one.

For a moment, Xia Ling was at a loss, and jumped to the phone with Chu Chen: "I can't find him!"

"Don't worry," Chu Chen remained calm, "Think about where else he will go?"

"I don't know..." Xia Ling said confusedly and a little flustered, eagerly recalling the places he usually likes to go, "There is a bamboo forest villa in the outskirts of the city, Funing clubhouse in the north of the city, Moonlight Beach, Hongde Club, Dojo No. [-]..." She reported many place names one after another.

Unexpectedly, Chu Chen said that he had searched for everything, and there were even a few places she didn't know about, and Pei Ziheng was nowhere to be found.

This person seems to have disappeared out of thin air.

Xia Ling became even more flustered, and she asked Chu Chen helplessly, "What should I do?"

"The boss's phone should have GPS location tracking, but I don't have permission, and I can't do this without the boss's permission. I wonder if you can track it here?"

"How could I track it down? I don't even have a mobile phone! He didn't even tell me the password!" She was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, "Why don't you call the police? The police will definitely find him!"

"Don't do it." Chu Chen stopped her, "You don't know how much shock this incident will cause. In the entire entertainment industry, no, the entire business world, it will cause an uproar."

"So what? I just want him to be safe!"

Ye Miss, the most urgent thing is to find the boss as soon as possible!"

Xia Ling no longer insisted on finding the police.Chu Chen was right, the emperor was Pei Ziheng's lifeblood, and he had concentrated his whole life's efforts. Even if he had to choose between her and the emperor, he would probably choose the emperor without hesitation.How could Xia Ling ask the police to expose the disappearance and add trouble to him in this situation?
"Okay, don't call the police for now," she said, "think about it, what else can I do?"

"It's really impossible to use GPS to locate," Chu Chen said, "Wait another day, if you still can't get in touch, I'll ask someone to crack the password."

Xia Ling was angry: "Why do you have to wait another day?"

Chu Chen smiled wryly: "You know, I don't have authority, if it wasn't for a major and critical incident, and I cracked his password without authorization...Miss Ye, the boss will be furious."

"I don't care, you go now!" Xia Ling yelled at him, "I'm taking care of anything! You go!"

He hesitated: "But..."

"Are you afraid that I won't be able to bear it?" She came back to her senses a little bit, and she said quickly, "You saw how kind he was to me, no less than Xia Ling back then. Are you surprised? He and Xia Ling back then I know what happened to Ling, and I know you know it too, do you think that if Xia Ling asked you to crack the code today, would Pei Ziheng blame you?!"

"Yes, I understand." Chu Chen said.

She let out a breath and hung up the phone.His back slid against the wall and he sat on the ground weakly.Pei Ziheng, where have you been?Why don't you answer the phone?
She was flustered and asked Zhou's mother to move another phone.She kept calling his number, but it still rang, but no one answered.She repeated mechanically, typing...

The night passed, and the dawn came.

Chu Chen's phone call came in: "Miss Ye, the password has been cracked, and the GPS shows that the boss's mobile phone is at home."

"Impossible. I'm at home right now. I've been on the phone all night, but I didn't hear the phone ring." Xia Ling's voice was hoarse after not sleeping all night.

Chu Chen said: "The location can't be wrong, please look for it again."

She got up staggeringly, walked unsteadily, and searched from room to room, no, still no.

Pei Ziheng, where are you?

Chu Chen's call came in again: "Have you searched for every room? Think about it again, is there anything you missed?"

How could there be omissions? !This is a house that she designed and supervised. Why... Wait, she remembered that when she went to the study, she found that a bookcase was in the wrong place, not as she had designed it.

I didn't have time to talk to Chu Chen, put down the phone, and ran to the study like the wind.

In the study room, the position of the bookcase was really wrong, it was bulky behind the high-backed chair.Xia Ling pushed hard to make a note, the bookcase was very heavy and couldn't be pushed.She glanced back and forth in the vicinity, and suddenly, she saw a small raised decorative sculpture.Suddenly, her hand pressed against the sculpture.

The bookcase moved away slowly, revealing a hidden door.

She didn't understand why Pei Ziheng added a secret door in this place?His study room has perfect security measures, and all the confidential documents about the emperor will never be stolen. Could he not trust her design?Or is there something more important to protect?
Confused, she pushed open the secret door.

Behind the secret door is a deep, narrow, spiraling downward staircase.The air is dry and clean, exuding the faint aroma of withered petals. There are a few lights on the walls on both sides of the stairs. The light is a quiet and soft warm yellow, just like the old world that has passed away in memory.

Xia Ling supported the wall, while protecting her lower abdomen with the other hand, and cautiously walked all the way down.She didn't know what would be at the end, she just hoped that no matter what it was, there was a Pei Ziheng waiting for her there.Once, she wanted so much to escape from him, but he disappeared, so she was so worried.

Finally, at the end.
