Chapter 420 24 Hours of Disconnection
Liang Liangwei knew that Yan Zhixu must be very busy taking care of the elderly and working at the same time, so she sent him a message in the morning to ask how he was doing. After receiving a reply that everything was fine, she was relieved and did not bother him again.
He will contact her when he has time.
She also needed to quickly finish all her current tasks, delegating as much as possible to others in the company, so she could secretly go abroad in a few days and surprise him.
Once at the company, she threw herself into her work, spending all her time except for meals editing photos and shooting indoors.
Fortunately, she hadn't been out doing much order-related work lately, so she delegated the afternoon's Hanfu photoshoot to Gao Nan.
During lunch break, I went out for a bit of exercise and chatted with Lan Yin and Su Xiaorong in the meeting room while we ate.
Su Xiaorong glanced at her neck several times and clicked her tongue, saying, "I have to say, this Australian white pearl really suits your face."
Liang Liangwei's face has a naturally rounded shape, especially the curve of her jawline, which is simply perfect. It looks like a peeled egg, which complements the round and lustrous Australian white pearls. It is a match made in heaven between a person and a pearl.
Other colleagues who were having lunch together in the meeting room also looked over upon hearing this, and they were all filled with envy.
"Is this the Australian white fish that's been trending for five million? Director Liang, your boyfriend treats you so well, you're so lucky."
Liang Liangwei reached out and touched the Australian white dress around her neck, smiled, and said nothing.
Thinking of something, she took out her phone and logged into the trending topics list. Sure enough, the top spot was still occupied by the news about her and Yan Zhixu at the auction.
I was speechless. How many days has he been buying trending topics? Why is it still on the list today?
Opening WeChat, the man's chat window was still showing the few messages they had exchanged that morning.
It's already past midnight where he is; he's probably asleep.
I wonder if she's at the hospital taking care of someone or catching up on sleep at home?
I miss him a little...
Seeing her lost in thought, Su Xiaorong leaned closer and teased, "Look at you, so lovesick. Are you thinking about men? Goodness, your mind is wandering in broad daylight. Tsk tsk... Can't you even hold back until you get off work?"
Liang Liangwei blushed, pushed her away impatiently, and spat, "What nonsense are you talking about? Go back to your office if you're not going to eat!"
The two spoke softly, and the people sitting opposite them couldn't hear what they were saying, which is why Su Xiaorong teased her like that.
"Nannan is getting ready to go out for a photoshoot. She said you recommended it to her. Are you taking the afternoon off?"
Liang Liangwei paused for a moment and said, "No, I plan to finish everything in the next few days and then go to the United States."
Su Xiaorong was surprised: "What are you going to the beautiful country for? For tourism?"
Liang Liangwei: "Yan Zhixu is going on a business trip there, it will be quite a long time, I'll go and take a look too."
Su Xiaorong smiled ambiguously: "How about we meet his family over there?"
Bosch Group is a company that Yan Zhixu inherited from his ancestors; this is public information, and anyone who does a little research can find out.
Liang Liangwei, biting her chopsticks, said, "We should see each other."
She just didn't expect that what happened later would be beyond her expectations. She did see the person, but not in the way she had imagined.

In the afternoon, Liang Liangwei received a bouquet of flowers, blooming blue ice flowers, so beautiful they seemed otherworldly, adding a touch of softness to her busy work.
The card was signed "Yan," and although the handwriting was different, it was probably written by the florist based on the name of the person who placed the order.
Did he book it in advance?
A surprise for her?
She placed the flowers on the shelf, took a picture with her phone, and sent it along with a WeChat message: "Flowers received, miss you~"
However, it was still early morning there, and she guessed he was still asleep, so she didn't wait any longer and continued with her work.
When it was time to leave work, Lan Yin came over and knocked on the door to ask for permission.
Liang Liangwei: "You can go home first, I'll work overtime."
Lan Yin ordered a meal for her and then left.
An hour later, Liang Liangwei stopped working and started eating.
I checked my phone; it was almost 7 o'clock, and he still hadn't replied to my message.
Without thinking much, she turned on the show she was watching and ate while watching.
After finishing my meal, I continued working until after 9 p.m. before finally stopping to pack up and go home.
I checked my phone again while waiting for the elevator, but there was still no reply.
She frowned. "Are you this busy so early in the morning?"
Tonight she went back to her small apartment. Since he wasn't there, it didn't matter where she stayed. This place had been empty for a while and needed to get some life back in.
As a result, she waited until the next morning... but still didn't receive a reply from the man.
Liang Liangwei sat on the bed, staring blankly at the empty and unanswered WeChat messages. She blinked in confusion and then looked up at the ceiling.
They haven't been in contact for 24 hours.
This is the longest period of no contact between the two since they added each other on WeChat.
Although he can't reply instantly, he will respond to her messages as soon as he has free time. Even if she just posts a silly selfie, he will reply with a "pretty" or "cute".
Even when he was trying to evade electronic tracking from the United States, Xu Chaofeng still went to great lengths to contact him.
So what's going on?
Did she think too much?
Or is something not going well on his end?
Is it Grandma...? Something happened to her?
Or are you just too busy with work?
Or did they encounter an unexpected situation that forced them to lose contact?
She felt a pang of panic, but then told herself that everything would be alright and she shouldn't worry unnecessarily.
While at work, she was often distracted and made mistakes in editing photos, such as making skin tones inconsistent or making people's legs look uneven. She had to spend extra time correcting these mistakes.
In the afternoon, she received another bouquet of flowers, pink hydrangeas.
The bouquet was still beautiful, and she was happy, but... it couldn't compare to the excitement she felt yesterday.
Place the card signed "Yan" back into the bouquet and place the bouquet next to the ice blue.
I took out my phone, snapped a picture of both bouquets together, and pulled out WeChat, ready to send it over.
Suddenly, a message popped up in my phone's notification bar—[Bosch Group CEO was detained by the US on the day he returned to his home country to visit relatives...]
Because she had previously followed international news related to Yan Zhixu, she had set up notifications for such news updates, so when she saw the message, her heart skipped a beat for no reason.
Because of the character restrictions, the rest of the content was not visible, so she quickly clicked on it.
The CEO of Bosch Group was taken into custody by the US FBI on the same day he returned to the US to visit relatives. It is rumored that his latest investment in related industries endangers US national security, and the authorities are currently investigating his detention...
Liang Liangwei was so shocked that she almost dropped her phone.
He was caught?
No wonder we haven't been in contact for over 24 hours!
No, what did he invest in that endangered someone's national security?
Is it that serious?
She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and thought about who she should contact to find out what was going on.
Yes, Xu Chaofeng!
She found Xu Chaofeng's WeChat, but typing was too slow, so she sent a voice message: "Assistant Xu, has something happened to Yan Zhixu?"
The wait for a reply was long, each second feeling as heavy as a hammer blow to her heart.
Finally, after about ten seconds, Xu Chaofeng replied: "Ms. Liang, please don't worry. President Yan has encountered some trouble. I am contacting all parties to resolve it. I will let you know as soon as I have any news."
The reply arrived, but Liang Liangwei's heart sank even further.
Xu Chaofeng's words undoubtedly confirmed the message she had just received!
