Dream Capture: I Can See Through All Secrets!

161: 161. Wang Yuxi disappearsLu Feng took a sip of tea, noncommittal: ”Old Master Xu, you’re too kind. Mutual benefit and cooperation are enough.”

He turned to Xu Ting, poured her a cup of tea, and smiled: ”Sister Xu, you should drink some tea too.”

”Thank you, Little Lu...”

Seeing Lu Feng’s friendly attitude towards his granddaughter, Xu Bang pondered for a moment, feeling that mere verbal promises might not be enough to show sincerity.

He changed the subject, a gentle smile appearing on his face, his gaze seemingly inadvertently sweeping over his beautiful and exceptionally capable granddaughter, Xu Ting, beside him.

”Mr. Lu is young and promising, and must be busy with his career on a daily basis. Have you considered... having someone by your side who cares for you and can share your burdens...”

Lu Feng was holding his teacup when he heard Old Master Xu’s words and almost choked on his tea.

He looked at Xu Ting, trying to suppress a laugh, as if teasing her: ”Sister Xu, your grandfather is trying to sell you off.”

Indeed, the next moment, Xu Bang said: ”Xiao Ting’s abilities are evident to all, and she is also good friends with Mr. Lu. If Mr. Lu doesn’t mind...”

Old Master Xu’s words were subtle, but his meaning was already clear: he intended to send Xu Ting to Lu Feng’s side, whether as an assistant or in a more intimate relationship.

Xu Ting rubbed her temples subconsciously upon hearing this, feeling a bit helpless.

She was an extremely proud woman. She had already rebelled once to escape a family arranged marriage, so how could she agree this time? Besides, Little Lu and she... were more like siblings, right?

Lu Feng put down his teacup, interrupting with a wry smile: ”Old Master Xu, you’re playing matchmaker inappropriately. Xu Ting and I are friends and partners, and that’s perfectly fine. As for anything else, I’m still a student right now, and my studies are my priority. I haven’t considered much else for the time being.”

His words were half-truths, both politely declining Old Master Xu’s offer and saving face for both parties.

Xu Bang was slightly stunned, then realized, and quickly said: ”Yes, yes, yes, it was this old man who was presumptuous, Mr. Lu, please don’t take offense.”

He thought to himself, Mr. Lu’s actions are indeed beyond what we can fathom. Perhaps he is just enjoying life at his own pace.

Xu Ting felt an inexplicable sense of relief upon hearing Lu Feng’s reply, and smiled: ”Yes, Grandpa, besides, if you’re going to play matchmaker, you should at least cancel my engagement with the Chen Family first.”

She was reminding him, and Xu Bang also thought of this matter, immediately nodding: ”You are now the head of the Xu Family, and marrying into the Chen Family is also inappropriate. I will talk to the Chen Family about it.”

From today onwards, the fate of the Xu Family was tightly linked to this seemingly ordinary male college student.

After a few more casual chats, Old Master Xu adopted a very humble posture, more like a subordinate reporting on work, briefly explaining to Lu Feng the Xu Family’s recent involvement in the key shantytown renovation project in Jiangcheng.

This was a colossal project involving hundreds of billions in capital. It was precisely because of Lu Feng’s prior disclosures and guidance that Xu’s Group was able to quickly mobilize resources and accurately strategize, almost overwhelmingly securing several of the most lucrative core sections.

In the coming years, this project alone would be enough to make the Xu Family immensely wealthy and further solidify its foundation.

Old Master Xu’s words were full of gratitude. As he was speaking, Xu Ting’s phone, placed on the table, suddenly rang urgently. She glanced at Lu Feng apologetically, picked up her phone, and walked aside to answer.

However, after only a few sentences, Xu Ting’s face suddenly changed, and she couldn’t help but exclaim in a low voice: ”What? Yuxi is missing?! Are you sure? Okay... okay, I understand, I’ll go check right away!”

Hanging up the phone, Xu Ting’s face was filled with anxiety and worry as she quickly walked back to the table.

Lu Feng noticed her abnormality, put down his teacup, and asked: ”Sister Xu, what happened? What’s wrong with Sister Yuxi?”

Xu Ting spoke rapidly, with unease: ”Yuxi’s assistant called. She said she hasn’t been able to reach Yuxi for two days! Her phone has been off, and she’s not at any of the places she usually stays. We’ve asked all her familiar friends, but there’s no news. Even when Yuxi is busy, she wouldn’t completely lose contact like this... I’m worried if something might have happened to her...”

As a public figure, Wang Yuxi’s schedule, though irregular, such a complete disappearance was extremely abnormal.

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng frowned slightly. He was aware of Wang Yuxi’s predicament.

This newly crowned Best Actress was also a crucial part of his media and public opinion channels, possessing immense influence. Lu Feng had planned to meet her in the next few days, but he didn’t expect her to disappear at this critical juncture?

He pondered for a moment, then decisively said: ”Don’t worry, I’ll help look for her. Wait for me a moment.”

Old Master Xu, hearing that Lu Feng was going to personally search for her, immediately wanted to demonstrate the Xu Family’s power and connections, and quickly said: ”Mr. Lu, do you need me to immediately activate the Xu Family’s network and connections...”

He hadn’t finished speaking when he saw Lu Feng slowly close his eyes, seemingly entering a state of contemplation, an indescribable aura seemingly enveloping him.

Old Master Xu’s words abruptly stopped, not daring to disturb him further.

After less than half a minute, Lu Feng suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze clear and certain, and said directly to Xu Ting: ”I know where she is. Old Master Xu, please feel free to do as you wish. Sister Xu and I are going to find her.”

Although Old Master Xu was filled with shock and doubt, he dared not ask more, and quickly nodded: ”Good, good, you two go quickly. Contact us anytime if you need anything.”

Xu Ting’s heart, however, was in turmoil!

She had personally witnessed Lu Feng just closing his eyes for a moment, without even making a call or sending a message, yet he so confidently said he knew her location?

This... this was completely beyond her comprehension, incredibly bizarre and unbelievable!

The two quickly left the teahouse, went to the parking lot, and got into Xu Ting’s sports car. Lu Feng fastened his seatbelt and directly gave a location: ”On the East Coast.”

As Xu Ting started the car, she couldn’t help but turn to look at Lu Feng, who sat calmly in the passenger seat, and finally couldn’t resist asking: ”Lu Feng... how... how do you know? This is too... are you sure?”

She couldn’t figure it out... Lu Feng nodded, his tone carrying a hint of imperceptible gravity: ”I’m sure. We need to hurry; her condition might not be good.”

Upon hearing the words ”condition not good,” Xu Ting’s heart tightened instantly. She no longer bothered to ask further, slammed her foot on the accelerator, and shot out like an arrow from a bow, merging into traffic and speeding towards the East Coast.

The atmosphere in the car was somewhat heavy. Xu Ting gripped the steering wheel, her gaze fixed on the road ahead, and couldn’t help but speak again, her voice filled with worry: ”Yuxi... what exactly happened to her?”

Lu Feng sighed softly, his gaze directed at the rapidly receding streetscape outside the window, and said: ”As for the specific reason, let’s wait until we find her and let her tell you personally. The most important thing now is to find her.”

The East Coast is a rare stretch of beautiful coastline in Jiangcheng, an inland city, attracting a large number of citizens and tourists for sightseeing and recreation on weekdays.

It was afternoon, and the beach was bustling with people, very lively.

After parking the car, Xu Ting looked at the crowded scene before her and immediately felt a sense of bewilderment and helplessness.

Finding one person in such a high-traffic area was like looking for a needle in a haystack! She even began to doubt whether Lu Feng had misjudged the location?

However, her phone still couldn’t connect, and that ominous premonition grew stronger and stronger in her heart.
