Mr Indifferent CEO, Be Careful With My Heart Chapter 23
Advertisement
By the next morning, everything went normal as usual.
The men that were sent in search of Ye Cheng had finally returned and reported him dead to their boss.
They searched and searched but couldn't find any suitable and useful lead as to where he was or what exactly had happened to him. With no hope left in searching, they stopped.
In a luxurious well-decorated office, the elderly man in his late sixties is seen sitting on one of the executive chairs in his office directly facing the big doors.
He was on the phone with someone when a knock came on his door.
The knock came the second time and he pulled his phone from his ear, using his right hand to cover the mouth piece before answering.
"Come in."
The door creamed open and a man in a pair of black trousers and a black leather jacket with a white and black striped T-shirt and a pair of black boots walked into the big office.
The moment the elderly man laid his eyes on him, he bowed his head and greeted him. The elderly man waved his hand and gestured towards one of the chairs in front of him.
It was equally as exquisite as his own but his had gold and silver designs etched on the head and handles.
"Hello, sorry, I need to hang up now. We would talk over lunch?" His deep voice came out calm and collected as the person at the other end of the phone agreed and the call was cut.
"Yes, Lee Chiang?" His brows formed an arch as he spoke to the other man. His voice clearly showing his impatience.
"Chairman Zhang, we couldn't find his body."
No sooner had he finished reporting the case than the table trembled under the blow from the elderly man.

"I am sorry sir."
"Sorry? Not good enough. How can you not find his body? If he is dead then he should be floating anywhere at sea close to the harbor. How can you just come over here and tell me you couldn't find his body?" The chairman's once calm deep voice erupted into a hot volcanic explosion inside the big office.
"For crying out loud, how far away do you think a perfectly half dead man can walk?"
"Perhaps he had help sir."
Chairman Zhang irked at him, the veins at the corner of his head popped out at attention from his rage.
"He had help? And you didn't? You had more men at your disposal, Chiang. I gave you one simple job and you come here, messed up. Should I applaud you for not finding him? What good are your men for, that they can't find one severely injured person?"
"My apologies, sir for my incompetence."
"Shut up!" He yelled. His hands slammed down on the table in front of him, separating him from Lee Chiang.
"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't punish you severely now?" His deep cold voice resounded again as his questioning gaze raked over Lee Chiang.
Lee Chiang immediately got up from his seat and bowed to the Chairman. "Sir, give us one more chance to correct our mistake and find Ye Cheng's body."
"How?" His sharp gaze never left Lee Chiang as he eyed him yet again. He honestly did not know why he was wasting his time with this man and his goons. "What makes you think you can find him now, if you failed before?"
He had a point. They had failed in making him sign the documents and even lost him, so how sure was he, that his men could find Ye Cheng if given another chance?

"As we speak, one of my men has gone to the station to get the camera footage of the harbor, bribe the officers and steal it. He should have a picture of Ye Cheng at the end of the day. We would print it out and distribute around the harbor area, so anyone who have seen him would report it."
"You seem so confident," Chairman Zhang said. His lips curved up to form a wicked smirk as his gaze never left Lee Chiang.
Lee Chiang who had long raised his head, felt that the Chairman was proud of his idea and began to smile to himself too.
"Fool! What are you smiling for?"
Immediately, the latter straightened himself and the smile on his face completely vanished, mirroring the same stoic expression on the Chairman's face.
"Don't you know that doing so would alert Ye Cheng and the ones hiding him?"
"Yes sir, but when a rabbit is chased down to his hole and fire is put inside, it would have no choice but run out. Same applies with Ye Cheng. If he sees he is been searched out there, he may want to escape and we have men and eyes on every check point in the city... There is no escaping us this time."
"Good, you still have something up stairs. Now let us put your theory to a test. You may go and proceed as you wish. You better not fail, this time."
"Yes Chairman," Lee Chiang bowed and turned towards the exit. His heart racing in joy at another opportunity to redeem himself.
