Wei Yumeng naturally returned to her normal work routine after returning home.
However, she unexpectedly discovered that Song Yifan was acting strangely.
While she couldn't claim to fully understand the current Song Yifan, her trip abroad had given her some insight into him.
At the very least, he was dedicated to his work, and he would personally handle any matter, big or small, if he could.
But now, calculating the time, Song Yifan had not appeared for three days since their return.
Even the projects Song Yifan was responsible for had encountered some minor issues. If it weren't for Wei Yumeng's timely intervention, no one knew what would have happened.
Finally, after careful consideration, Wei Yumeng called Song Yifan.
"Hello, it's me, Wei Yumeng."
"Yumeng? What's wrong?" Song Yifan's tone was a bit strange, as if he had received the call at an inconvenient time.
Wei Yumeng frowned. Had Song Yifan really encountered something?
"Nothing, it's just that you haven't been at work these past few days, so I wanted to ask what's going on."
Song Yifan was silent for a moment, and after a long pause, he spoke.
"I apologize. I had some personal matters to attend to and didn't have time to inform you in advance. It's my fault."
"Do you need my help?" Wei Yumeng asked.
But at this moment, a clamor could be heard from Song Yifan's end.
"Aren't you done yet? I didn't come here to wait for your phone call!"
The person's tone was malicious, as if deliberately looking for trouble.
Wei Yumeng's heart sounded an alarm. Who had found Song Yifan, and for what reason?
Song Yifan had no other friends here. If he were in trouble, it would be disastrous.
Song Yifan's voice came through the receiver again: "I still have some things to deal with here, so I'll hang up now."
Without waiting for Wei Yumeng's reply, Song Yifan hung up the phone.
Wei Yumeng watched Song Yifan's name disappear from her phone screen, a bad feeling lingering in her heart.
At this moment, Fang Xun walked in. "Madam, President Zhan said that you've been working too hard on the project these past few days. If you want to go home early today, that's fine too."
As soon as Fang Xun finished speaking, Wei Yumeng immediately packed her things.
This was perfect, saving her the trouble of telling Zhan Mohan.
"Then I'll be leaving. Please say hello to Mohan for me."
After speaking, Wei Yumeng walked out of the office.wap.kanshuwu.net
Fang Xun felt a bit surprised. Usually, even after work hours, Wei Yumeng would only leave after confirming all her tasks.
Why was she so eager today?
However, this was for the best, at least Zhan Mohan wouldn't have to worry about her constantly.
Wei Yumeng left Zhan's Group and headed directly to Song Yifan's residence.
She remembered Song Yifan telling her that he was currently staying in a hotel not far from the company.
"Hasn't he come out yet?"
"No. I was just about to call the police if there's still no response."
"Okay, wait another five minutes. Besides calling the police, send the bodyguards to check the situation."
"Understood."
As Wei Yumeng entered the hotel's reception hall, she saw that the service staff all looked nervous, and even the hotel manager appeared anxious.
However, Wei Yumeng didn't pay much attention. She went to the front desk and asked, "Excuse me, which room is Song Yifan staying in? I'm his business partner and need to discuss some matters with him."
"You're looking for Mr. Song?" The receptionist frowned, appearing a bit hesitant.
After a moment of hesitation, she turned to the manager and asked, "Manager, this lady is looking for Mr. Song."
The manager walked over, assessed Wei Yumeng from head to toe, and then said, "Miss, why don't you wait here for a moment? We'll help you contact him shortly."
"Why? Isn't it okay for me to find him myself?" Wei Yumeng's unease grew.
The manager sighed. "To be honest, two hours ago, a group of people came here looking for Mr. Song. They looked like they weren't to be trifled with, and they haven't come out yet. We don't know what's happened."
Wei Yumeng's heart sank. Indeed, the voice she heard on the phone earlier was definitely not good news.
But knowing that Song Yifan might be in trouble, how could she stand by and do nothing?
"Manager, since you know he might be in danger, why isn't the hotel doing anything to resolve this issue? Do you have to wait until someone gets hurt to stop?"
Wei Yumeng was genuinely angry. If Song Yifan were to be harmed, she would hold the hotel responsible.
"Miss, actually, we have already arranged for bodyguards to go and check."
As soon as the manager finished speaking, the hotel's bodyguards walked over. "Manager, everyone has been assembled."
"Good. You go and check the situation in room 403 now. If someone is causing trouble, you must ensure our guest's safety."
"Wait, let me go with you." Wei Yumeng volunteered. "I'm his friend, and I'm really worried about him. Moreover, with my identity, I might be able to help."
The manager thought for a moment and finally nodded.
"You go with this lady, but make sure to protect her."
After thanking the manager, Wei Yumeng went with the bodyguards to Song Yifan's door.
"Excuse me, is Mr. Song in?" one of the attendants tentatively asked.
However, there was no response from inside the room for a long time.
Wei Yumeng spoke again, "Mr. Song, it's me. There's a problem with a company matter, and I need to confirm it with you face to face. Are you inside?"
"Yumeng, I..." Song Yifan finally remembered.
But his voice was even worse than on the phone. His weak, gasping breath was enough for those outside to know what had happened.
The bodyguards exchanged glances, then with a nod, they stormed in.
Only then did Wei Yumeng see that Song Yifan was in a bad state. He had clearly been beaten, with bloodstains on his lips.
He even had injuries all over his body, making it impossible for him to stand.
"How are you?"
Wei Yumeng was furious. What kind of trouble had he encountered to be beaten like this!
She then saw the burly men standing on the other side.
The leader looked at Song Yifan with arrogance. "You're lucky today, boy, that so many people came to save you. If you don't pay back the money, it won't just be a beating."
With that, the group swaggered away.
The bodyguard captain then used his communicator to inform the manager of the situation.
"How could this happen? What exactly happened?" Wei Yumeng helped Song Yifan to sit on the sofa, then turned to ask.
