An hour later, fresh desserts came out of the oven. Ruan Yin made a portion for the little girl, took the dessert to her seat, sat on the swing, swayed slowly, occasionally ate a bite of dessert, and looked at the river outside from time to time. Her mood gradually improved.

Seeing that the boss was in a bad mood, the new store manager nervously took the resume to her and said, "Boss, these are the people I found suitable after screening. When are you free? I will arrange for them to come for an interview."

Ruan Yin took a few glances and said, "You go first. If you find a suitable candidate, I will interview him last. I will leave the store affairs to you. I will be busy later and will not have much time to take care of this. Call me if you have anything."

Pan Yi nodded, watching Ruan Yin come and go in a hurry, confused. She scooped a spoonful of dessert and stuffed it into her mouth. Her eyes lit up. She didn't expect that the boss could make desserts, and they were so delicious. She suddenly felt confident.

Early Monday morning, Ruan Yin went to the company to take up her post. She asked Lu Xing about many things she didn't understand. Lu Xing would go over the things he didn't know in his mind before asking his grandmother.

To be safe, at first she only listened to the work reports of her subordinates and did not express her own opinions easily. Later, she was able to put forward her own ideas and point out some details. These changes comforted He Qiong, and she realized that she had not misjudged him.

In this way, Ruan Yin gradually became familiar with the company's business, and after a month, she gradually got the hang of it. The middle-level managers who initially questioned her ability later shut up. All this was attributed to her diligence and ability. She worked overtime until midnight almost every day. Even Lu Xing admired her hard work and advised her to rest more.

During this month, Ruan Yin went to the hospital less frequently, but every time she was not satisfied with her work, she would go to the hospital in the middle of the night to sit with him. When she saw that he was still asleep, she felt a little disappointed, but also like she was fully recharged, which enabled her to continue working hard the next day.

That day, she was handling work at her desk when she suddenly received a call from Guan Mei, "Hello, Xiao Mei, what's up?"

"Madam, Mr. Xi is missing!" Guan Mei said anxiously on the phone.

Ruan Yin's eyes lit up, "He woke up?"

The next second, Guan Mei's cold words pulled Ruan Yin back to reality, "No, a doctor came and said he wanted to take President Xi for a checkup. Our people followed him. An hour later, he was found collapsed in the radiology room. The doctor and President Xi were gone. After asking people, we found out that he had fainted after being injected with drugs by the other party. In other words, President Xi was taken away by that doctor."

Ruan Yin's pupils shrank, and she spoke quickly and directly to the point: "Which doctor? Where did you take him?"

"I don't know. I asked the dean and he said there is no such person. He was disguised and very good at avoiding cameras. We contacted the police to investigate, but he was very cunning and the surveillance area was too large, so we couldn't find any trace of him for a while."

After hanging up the phone, Ruan Yin rushed to the hospital. Seeing He Qiong and Xi Changhong standing outside the corridor, her heart sank. She walked up to him and asked, "Grandma, how is the situation now?"

He Qiong's face didn't look good and she shook her head, still wondering who took her grandson away right under her nose and what the purpose was.

The police are investigating the doctor and the nurse, but their true identities have not yet been discovered.

Ruan Yin asked about the situation, and the police said that if it was a kidnapping, they would call them soon to ask for a ransom. She was very panicked, but she had to pretend to be calm. What should she do? If it was just a ransom, it would be fine, but what if the hostage was killed?

Hearing Han Miaoyun scolding Guan Mei loudly, accusing them of not looking down on everyone, Ruan Yin said in a distracted voice: "Enough! Is it useful to blame them now? The other party came prepared, it will be useless no matter who you replace them with."

Han Miaoyun raised her eyebrows and was about to speak, but was stopped by He Qiong's eyes. She curled her lips and muttered, "I'm right. I spent so much money to hire them as bodyguards, but they can't even keep an eye on one person."

Ruan Yin originally thought that the kidnapper would call her soon, but unexpectedly, she did not receive any call for three consecutive days. This strange situation made her feel like she was falling into the abyss, unable to sleep or eat, and she had no idea what the other party was trying to do.

The police were still checking the surveillance footage along the way. Ruan Yin frowned in annoyance and picked up her phone to call Guan Mei. She unexpectedly received a MMS. Thinking it was a spam message, she impatiently wanted to delete it, but her finger accidentally clicked on it and it turned out to be a video.

After watching it, her mind went blank, her eyes fixed on the picture of Xi Xuanyao being pushed into the sea, and her hand holding the phone kept shaking. She watched it over and over again as if torturing herself, trying to convince herself that this person was not A Yao, but that face was clearly him.

She took a deep breath, picked up her coat, and hurried out. She sent the video to Achao and asked him to find someone to check whether there were any signs of editing or synthesis in the video.

The only place near the sea in Yuncheng is the southern edge. On the way, she received a message from Ah Chao, which read: "The video is real, with no traces of editing or synthesis."

Ruan Yin's heart sank and she watched the video again. This time the focus was no longer on Xi Xuanyao, but on the nearby coastline features, while she urged Uncle Yang to drive faster.

As soon as she arrived at the beach, she couldn't wait to get out of the car and ran along the coastline. There was a voice in her heart urging her to go faster and faster.

When she was exhausted from running, she finally saw the same reef as in the video. It was the shape of two rocks leaning against each other. Ruan Yin hurried over and shouted Xi Xuanyao's name at the top of her lungs.

There was nothing around except the sound of waves sweeping onto the shore. Ruan Yin was anxious to go into the water to look for him, but it was all vast and cold, penetrating into her bones. Just as she was about to dive into the sea, Guan Mei, who came up behind her, hugged her from behind.

"Yinyin, what are you doing?" Mei Yu supported He Qiong and walked over tremblingly, followed by Xi Changhong, Han Miaoyun and Xi Zhian. He Qiong's face was full of anxiety and heartache. She rushed over immediately after receiving the text message, but she didn't expect to see this scene.

Ruan Yin looked back blankly, "I'm looking for A Yao, he was pushed into the sea, I want to save him!"

Thinking of Xi Xuanyao being pushed into the cold sea while unconscious, Ruan Yin could no longer hold back and struggled hard to break free from Guan Mei's arms. She couldn't break free and was so anxious that she almost cried. She slapped Guan Mei's arms and ran towards the sea, "Let go quickly, he's still waiting for me to save him. It will be too late if it's too late."

Guan Mei was somewhat at a loss, and awkwardly comforted him, "Madam, President Xi certainly doesn't want to see you like this. The rescue team will be here soon, so calm down first."

Ruan Yin's mind was buzzing. She didn't hear the words "rescue team". She only knew that if it was any later, Xi Xuanyao might really be... She pleaded with her eyes: "I always feel that he is nearby. I can definitely save him."

He Qiong couldn't bear it any longer, and her hoarse voice was filled with heavy grief, "Enough! Have you thought about Zhaozhao and Shushu? Do you want to abandon them?" Without any equipment, she jumped in to save people like this. Not to mention whether she could find the people, she herself might be swept away by the sea.
