When Xiaoyu, who was talking to Lao Guo, heard her colleague read out the message, she felt as if she had been hit by a punch. Everything in front of her eyes went dark, and the smile on her face froze instantly.

"Manager Xia, it's a good thing your husband is not Mr. Ke, otherwise it would be terrible." The colleague's voice seemed to come from a distant place.

"Xiao Xia, what's wrong with you?" Lao Guo raised his hand, waved it in front of her eyes, and asked with concern.

"Oh, Mr. Guo, please wait a moment, I'm going to the bathroom." Xiaoyu picked up the phone and walked towards the bathroom.

She squatted in the toilet and opened her phone to see the video news her colleague had just played. Then she flipped over the message Ke Yongxin sent yesterday morning, which matched exactly with flight MB174.

She was shocked and her brain suddenly short-circuited. She squatted on the toilet in a daze. When she came to her senses, she immediately called Ke Yongxin.

"Answer it quickly, answer the phone quickly, Ke Yongxin, I order you to answer my call immediately!" She shouted in her heart over and over again.

I called several times, but each time I got a voice prompt from the other end: "The number you dialed is powered off!"

Her heart kept sinking, and after making several voice and video calls, her heart fell to the bottom, and she felt desolate.

No one answered the calls to Ke Yongding and Ke Zhengjie. A feeling of despair swept over her. She had a splitting headache and hugged her head. She wanted to cry but couldn't.

After squatting in the toilet for a few more minutes, she suddenly remembered that Lao Guo was still outside. She stood up by the door handle, walked out of the toilet, and saw Lao Guo standing at the door waiting for her.

"Xiao Xia, let's go and have dinner with Uncle Guo." When Old Guo saw Xiao Yu's pale face, he stretched out his hand and said with a loving face.

"Uncle Guo." Xiaoyu's legs went weak and she almost fell down. Fortunately, a pair of strong arms held her.

In full view of everyone, the two of them walked out of the sales office arm in arm.

"What are they doing?" a colleague asked in amazement.

“So this is how this business came about?”

"I thought they actually went to play basketball a few days ago, but this is what happened."

"I really thought it was because of her amazing sales ability that I felt inferior for a while. Now I understand!"

Seeing that everyone was talking at once and the talk was getting more and more outrageous, Bai Yongxu said in a deep voice: "Don't you think that Manager Xia is a little bit abnormal today?"

"Something is wrong indeed. She is too lazy to even pretend now." Lu Jing said.

"What's wrong?" Liu Xiaodong asked.

"She looked strange after hearing the news about the plane crash. If your husband is the richest man in Shenzhen, would you sell your body for a big client?"

Bai Yongxu asked Lu Jing in a cold voice, then glanced at the crowd of onlookers with a cold look, turned and left.

"Ah? So she is really the eldest lady of the Ke family?"

"Didn't she say her husband was just a worker in Dingyuan? Maybe her husband just happened to accompany Mr. Ke abroad? Oh my God, isn't this too tragic?"

"Bai Yongxu has a good relationship with her, so he will definitely not say anything nonsense."

"My dear, according to you, the diamond ring she showed me last time was real?"

"Oh my god, two hundred million! I should have worn it on my hand and taken a photo to show it off on WeChat Moments."

Everyone was joking with each other in a sour manner, but suddenly they realized something and stopped talking.

"Everyone, please accept my condolences. Maybe they are secretly happy behind our backs. I heard that the Ke family is worth hundreds of billions. No matter what, they should be able to get a billion, right?"

"I think I'm vicious enough, how come there are people more vicious than me!" Lu Jing glanced at the colleague who spoke and chased after Bai Yongxu.

Xiaoyu held onto Lao Guo's arm and kept asking, "Uncle Guo, what should I do? That can't be true, right?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Lao Guo patted the back of her hand and whispered.

After they sat down in the car, Lao Guo stared into Xiaoyu's eyes and asked, "Xiaoxia, listen to me, can you hear me now?"

Xiaoyu nodded, her eyes still dull.

"When was the last time you contacted Mr. Ke? Was it a phone call or a text message? Show me the message." Lao Guo said without question.

Xiaoyu lowered her head and stared at the phone in her hand, muttering: "Call."

Then, she quickly turned on her phone and redialed the number she had called several times. The other party's phone was still turned off.

She started making voice and video calls again, but still no one answered.

At this time, Lao Guo snatched the phone from her hand and saw the last message sent by the other party in the dialog box interface where she had just made a voice call.

The words "Flight MB174" clearly come into view.

He read the message carefully and was immediately attracted by the middle paragraph, "If you can't contact me these days, don't worry, I will explain it to you when I get back."

"Xiao Xia, let's call the Public Security Bureau now, and tell them Mr. Ke's identity information later." Seeing Xiao Yu nod, Lao Guo dialed the Public Security Bureau.

After the call was connected, Lao Guo introduced himself and told the other party a brief account of what had happened. Xiaoyu then reported Ke Yongxin's identity information.

"Mr. Guo, there is no entry or exit record of Ke Yongxin in the past two days." the other party said.

"You mean, Ke Yongxin has been in the country all the time?" Lao Guo asked. After getting confirmation from the other party, he thanked him and hung up the phone.

"He's not on flight MB174? Uncle Guo, Ke Yongxin was not on flight MB174 at all!" Xiaoyu's eyes suddenly lit up, and she grabbed Lao Guo's arm and said excitedly.

"Yes, Mr. Ke never went abroad!" Old Guo was also excited.

"Could the person on the plane be my father-in-law?" Xiaoyu suddenly remembered that she had not been able to get through to Ke Zhengjie on the phone just now, and became nervous again.

"Are you talking about Mr. Ke?" Old Guo's face also darkened. He saw Xiaoyu was already calling her father-in-law.

"Dad, where are you?" This time the call was connected quickly. When Xiaoyu heard Ke Zhengjie's voice, she was stunned for a moment and asked.

"I'm at home, where are you?" Ke Zhengjie asked back.

"I'm outside. Dad, can you contact Ke Yongxin?" Xiaoyu heard the other party's tone was a little strange, and her heart was lifted again, so she asked.

"We can't contact him either." Xiaoyu seemed to hear worry in her tone.

"Dad, did you see the news this afternoon? That's a rumor. Ke Yongxin wasn't on the plane at all, but where did he go?"

Xiaoyu originally wanted to comfort the other person, but she was also anxious because she couldn't contact the person, and she also hoped to hear some good news from the other person.

"We don't know where he went. He doesn't even report his whereabouts to me. You are together every day. When was the last time you saw him?" Ke Zhengjie said anxiously.

"He sent me a message yesterday morning, saying that he was going to Country M on business on flight MB174 and might not be back for five or six days," Xiaoyu said.

"He sent you a message? Aren't you together every day?" Ke Zhengjie asked.

"My sister and I went to my grandmother's house the day before yesterday and only came back yesterday at noon." Xiaoyu explained. She was really afraid that her father-in-law would blame her if he knew that Ke Yongxin did not live in Longwan.
