Murong Ye looked at Gong Yu sorrowfully. Murong Yunxi was the man’s life. Now that Morong Yunxi was not here, it seemed as if his soul had gone with her. Every day, he was like a ghost. He could’t eat, drink or sleep. His life was completely colorless, and life seemed to be meaningless for him. He was like a tree without its roots, withering bit by bit.

Murong Ye brought Gong Yu upstairs and put him on the big bed in the inner lounge. He took off his shoes and coat, covered him with the quilt, and sighed deeply.

If Murong Ye did not do this to him, maybe Gong Yu would never sleep. He needed a good sleep now. Murong Yunxi was missing and Murong Ye could only take care of him, for her sake.

Murong Ye left the lounge quietly and sat at his desk, but he could not concentrate on his work, for a long time.

It has been nearly a month since Murong Yunxi disappeared. He turned to look outside the window and muttered. “Xiao Xi, where are you now? If you are still alive, how could you leave Gong Yu in so much pain?”

As Murong Ye thoughts wandered, the gate was tapped gently, which brought Murong Ye back from his sad thoughts.

“Come in.” Murong Ye’s voice was full of sorrow, which upset Fourth, who was outside the door.

Fourth pushed the door and saw Murong Ye’s back, which was turned to the door. Fourth could not see his expression, because he was facing the window. Just by looking at his back, Fourth could guess that he was thinking about Murong Yunxi.

“Boss, are you thinking about Miss Xi again?” Fourth came straight to Murong Ye’s table, his voice filled with helplessness.

These few days, everyone’s emotions were suppressed. Fourth had followed Murong Yunxi for more than half a year, and he had witnessed Murong Yunxi’s growth directly. He had seen the transformation in her. At the same time, his understanding of Murong Yunxi had also undergone a qualitative leap, and his feelings for her were deeper than those of Second and others.

As for Second, Third and Fifth, their connections with Murong Yunxi were not as deep as that of Fourth, but they also had special feelings for the sudden appearance of Murong Yunxi, as their second lady. A horrible thing had happened, and she just disappeared. None of them felt good.

Fourth sighed softly, “Boss, since her body has not been found yet, she must still be alive. Otherwise how can a living person just disappear like that?”

Fourth said this, mainly to comfort Murong Ye. Everyone knew that the earthquake was different from other earthquakes. Most of the bodies buried under the ruins, had not been found yet. So far, the number of missing people was huge, and most of them were people who would never come out alive.

But none of them would like to think about it. They would like to believe that “without a body, the person must be alive”. They all firmly held on to the belief, so they had never given up looking for Murong Yunxi. Two thirds or even more people had been sent to look for Murong Yunxi. In fact, it was a very dangerous move for the Murong Family.

Unlike other wealthy families, the Murong Family had sent so many guardians out, it meant that they were more likely to be in danger than other families.

What Fourth was going to tell him at this moment, was what worried them most.

“You’re here to tell me this? If that’s all, then you can leave!” Murong Ye’s voice was cold and had no emotion, his sorrow had long gone.

Fourth put a folder on the Murong Ye’s desk. “Boss, take a look at this.”

Murong Ye turned around and picked up the papers on the desk. Aftering scanning through them briefly, his eyes sharpened at once.

Then Murong Ye looked at the documents carefully again, raised his eyes and asked, “When did this happen?”

“Lisa sent the fax just now.” Fourth’s face turned gloomier.

Documents showed that Black Collar Organizations and Red Dragon Gang in the United States had been secretly eliminating Murong Ye’s power there in recent days. Lisa was surrounded by problems and difficulties.

Black Collar Organization and Red Dragon Gang were former colleagues of the Nine Dragon Gang. The three gangs had a good relationship and kept in close contact. Back then, Murong Ye let Lisa destroy the Nine Dragon Gang. The remaining Black Collar Organization and Red Dragon Gang then conspired to overthrow Murong Ye.

They all knew that as long as Murong Ye had the intention, they would always be the second and the third Nine Dragon Gang. So this time, they took the opportunity to join hands to fight against Murong Ye.

Back then, Nine Dragon Gang had begun to decline, and Lisa had taken the opportunity to deal with it easily. Now that Black Collar and Red Dragon were working together, it was really a great challenge for Lisa. So this time, she hoped Murong Ye could go over in person, and help her get through this crisis.

But now Murong Yunxi was missing, how could he just walk away!

When Murong Ye was still in a dilemma, Fourth put another folder in front of him.

Murong Ye’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he looked up at Fourth with a puzzled look. Fourth’s eyebrows were also knotted and his face was dark. Obviously, this folder had no good news.

He reached for the folder, and sure enough, it was news of the recent failure of several projects. Murong Ye’s forehead knotted in a frown, he looked to the ground, thinking for a while.

Fourth opened his mouth and said, “Boss, since Miss Xi’s accident, things have gone wrong both inside and outside. I think someone has been operating behind our backs.”

Murong Ye nodded, and a chilly feeling seeped through his whole being. “These things must have been plotted for a while, otherwise they could not be done so fast. Now we have been spending all our energy on finding Xiao Xi. They could not find a better opportunity. The timing, location and people, were all in their favor.”

“Boss, do we need to withdraw some of our men from the search for the time being?” Fourth tentatively suggested. Murong Ye’s eyebrows tightened and his face was dark.

Fourth understood Murong Ye’s meaning in an instant, and he explained in a hurry. “Boss, if we let them go on like this, it will be really over. I did not mean that we should stop looking for Miss Xi. We can withdraw some of our men, and deal with the matter right in front of us first.”

Murong Ye looked at Fourth with cold and sharp eyes, and Fourth immediately kept quiet. Fourth did not want to abandon the search for Murong Yunxi, it was just that the current situation could not allow them to have personal feelings.

“All right, you can go!” Murong Ye was obviously impatient and fretting.

Fourth took a deep look at Murong Ye and turned to the door. Halfway through, he turned back and said, “Boss, you really need to think this through rationally, you can’t afford to be emotional this time. Otherwise, it’s really over. You and Mr. Murong’s efforts will go down the drain, even if Miss Xi comes back, everything you want to give her, will be gone!”

Murong Ye gave him a cold look. Fourth turned around and walked to the door. Before he reached the gate, he looked at Murong Ye again, and sighed softly. Then he left.

Murong Ye took another quick look at the documents in his hand, and then threw them on the desk. Fourth opened the door again and scanned the room. He said to Murong Ye pertinently, “Boss, it’s really urgent. You need to make a decision as soon as possible.”

Murong Ye angrily picked up the folder on the table and threw it directly at Fourth. Fourth hurriedly got out of the room. When the door closed, the folder smashed against the door.

Later, Murong Ye was at his desk till it was night time. He looked out of the window and remained motionless. Neon lights replaced sunlight and illuminated the streets in various colors. However, no matter how lively the scenery was, Murong Ye still felt lonely and sad.

“Why don’t you turn on the light?” Behind him came a sudden voice, which gave Murong Ye a shock.

Murong Ye turned around and saw Gong Yu standing at the door of the lounge, through the dim light of the night.

“You are awake?” The muted voice of Murong Ye showed a trace of fatigue, but also mixed with worry.

“Yeah! I haven’t slept like this for many days! Thank you! ” Gong Yu remembered exactly what happened before, but he knew that everything Murong Ye did, was for his good.

“You should know that Xiao Xi would want you to be safe and sound. She will not be able to look at you, ruining yourself like this. You know she will be upset!”

When it came to any mention about Murong Yunxi, Gong Yu’s eyes reddened. He shed his tears secretly, in the dark.

“I know, but I really can’t control myself. It’s like losing the sunshine and the air when I’m not around Xiao Xi. Life has become a burden for me and it’s too hard to breathe.” Gong Yu leaned against the doorframe, as if the strength of his body had been exhausted, and he could barely stand.

“You still need to take care of Niannian. You know the child is more mature than the average child, but she is still a four-year-old child. Even if she appears to be strong, she needs her family. Yet you are more vulnerable than she is now. You have to get yourself together!”

Murong Ye tried to motivate Gong Yu. In fact, he knew his own heart was also as fragile as a piece of glass, and it could easily be shattered into pieces. The current situation was like a hard hammer, it was ready to smash his fragile piece of glass and break him at any moment.

Gong Yu nodded and murmured weakly. “I want to cheer up, but I find that I am just a loser for the first time. At this moment, I can’t seem to do anything. If you have a way to exert myself, or let me die, I will thank you!”

Gong Yu’s words made Murong Ye’s heart tremble slightly. He covered his face with both hands, tears seeming to flow through his fingers. A stone seemed to be stuck in his throat. His adam’s apple bobbed up and down, but he was still pent-up and couldn’t say anything.

They were quiet for a long time. Then Murong Ye said slowly, “You should go to America!”
