My Husband Is The Emperor: I Woke Up With A Husband - Volume 1 Chapter 421 402

“He is not there?” Li Lian’s voice came as she left the ground floor of a certain restaurant. Holding her phone to her ear, she waited for Li Xiao Chen to reply to her words, hearing a few heaps of breaths Xiao Chen breathed in and out, seemingly out of of breath from running for hours.

“Not here, this is the last place he should be according the secretary’s schedule,” Li Xiao Chen sighed, they had been going around for more than half an hour, searching for where his brother could have gone as he suddenly disappeared out of no where.

“I didn’t find him here either,” Li Lian pursed her lips as worries come to set and settle on her face. She didn’t know what happen but during the last two hours according to the last bodyguard who saw Li Jun Wei, her husband had suddenly went missing. “Have you questioned the last bodyguard who met him?”

“They are gone,” Li Xiao Chen said when receiving a word from the person on his left and clicked his tongue impatiently.

Li Lian drew her brows tighter. “What do you mean gone, the bodyguard too?”

“Yes, all of them went missing, I will try to find him through other methods, sister do you think you might know where brother went?” asked Li Xiao Chen who then took a step back to realize how wrong his question was, “No if you knew you wouldn’t have asked me. I’m sorry, I think I’m too shocked right now.”

“No, I understand, please tell me once you find him, I…will try to find my own way,” Li Lian said before ending the call. She didn’t immediately tuck her phone to her pocket, and quickly went to her history call to make a different call, “Zhuang Xuan, are you free?”

Zhuang Xuan didn’t expect the call from Li Lian, he put aside the chip bag he had been eating, “Freer than a mouse living in a cheese,” he joked but suddenly felt he shouldn’t, “what’s wrong, you sound very much in a hurry.”

“Jun Wei is missing,” Li Lian said the words with a heavy breath. She didn’t know how this happen. The last time she met Li Jun Wei was last night before he had left, but at that time according to the people at his work, they still met him. It was during two hours ago where he suddenly went out of contact, as people rarely called Li Jun Wei unless it was important, Li Lian who wanted to call him was the first one to notice this.

Li Lian drew her hands together to the phone, feeling her heart growing uneasy as if she was moving in the very end of a cliff, but her worry wasn’t for her life, it was for Li Jun Wei. At this point, only negativism inflate in Li Lian’s heart as hours continue to pass.

The condition where they are in now were where people were hunting for her life, to disrupt her peace which only occurred her to expect for more worse thing to happen. But thinking with clarity, it doesn’t make sense for them to kidnap Li Jun Wei, and kidnapping would not be easy. Yet this person in question manage to kidnap Li Jun Wei.

Without the need to see Zhuang Xuan’s face, somewhere Li Lian could imagine his eyes widening in shock and mouth left agape, “Your husband is missing, how? No, that’s not important is it right now?”

Li Lian was growing restless even if she hadn’t shown her nervous side to others but now that she was inside her car, she loosened her guard and looked clearly agitated with worry, “Can you help me to find him?”

“I would like to say yes, but I don’t know where he is either. If we want to find him as soon as possible, searching through the road cameras would take too much time,” Zhuang Xuan’s words brought more worry to Li Lian who hoped him to know of a way immediately. Each seconds were precious to Li Lian now because she doesn’t know what Li Jun Wei was currently feeling at the moment. “You know where the last time he was seen?” Zhuang Xuan’s voice came to bring back her mind.

“Starlight Building, street of Yangying. As for where he went after that, no one knew. The connection to the bodyguards also disappeared,” saying this, Li Lian bit her lips as she caught the faint sigh from Zhuang Xuan that gave her a sigh of not good.

“I searched where Yangying is and there is a large road that connect to Beijing’s main road. That’s a stretch it would be too difficult to pin point one place without knowing the clear direction he would take,” but the excellent programmer didn’t want to stop there, “Do you have anything you think might be useful?”

Li Lian pulled her cupped hand in front of her lips, her eyes narrow slightly when it dawned to her there was something she hadn’t told yet, “Jun Wei’s phone! He didn’t reply me but it wasn’t turned off, do you think you might be able to find it?”

“If he doesn’t answer it would be hard, but on a second thought, I think I might knowa way.”

Li Lian was curious as she quickly heard keyboard tapping sound from the other side of the call that tells her Zhuang Xuan went to find an immediate way to find Li Jun Wei. “What way?”

“Reverse GPS,” Zhuang Xuan shortened his words, knowing it would take too much time to explain Li Lian throughly. “In short, your phone have GPS with Mr. Li watching him which I suspect he place to track you in case if you are kidnapped. Fortunately his phone is still turned on and the GPS would only work if it’s on. Anyway, what I will be doing is the opposite, this time Mr. Li wouldn’t be the one to track for you but you’ll be the one to track him.”

“But you don’t have my phone,” Li Lian said, how would Zhuang Xuan tinker with the program if the GPS was with her?

Not wanting to waste time, Zhuang Xuan said, “Mr. Li placed a GPS on the phone he gave me, I can use this. I’ll call you once I receive a clear point of his position.”

“Thank you,” Li Lian whispered with a hint of desperation and relief that there was a method they could put in effect to find Jun Wei. Even after long when the call ended, Zhuang Xuan could still hear Li Lian’s voice thanking him ringing in the back of his mind. He didn’t think he deserve the words for what he did had considerably hurt Li Lian even if he didn’t involve himself in the matter. Zhuang Xuan didn’t want to be a hypocrite. He understood the sin of taking a watch like a bystander is no less heavier than the person who had hurt Li Lian.

Perhaps Li Lian didn’t think so, but Zhuang Xuan did. Pulling his hand together to a clasp, Zhuang Xuan pushed the bones in his finger, cracking the ten finger in a crisp sound. “Time to work,” he whispered, making sure to find the location and help Li Lian which he failed a year ago.

The sky continue to fell darkly, Li Jun Wei felt a sudden painful ache on his head and passed his thumb into it. Pushing his hand, he noticed he was on a bed. It was hard to focus with his current condition as his head felt muddled like how a fish would feel when they was brought away from the water. His sight didn’t help either as he felt his eyes growing blurry. He could only take faint images with his eyes that were obscure, noticing that he wasn’t in his house.

“Where are we?” He asked to Li Lian whose hand settled on his chest.

“The hotel, you brought me here, remember?” came the voice that belong similarly to Li Lian’s but Li Jun Wei doesn’t know it wasn’t her voice because whatever happening to him now made his ears to turn numb and the voices that passed to his ears turn ten times gruff than how it would usually sound.

“I don’t remember,” Li Jun Wei pushed himself to rest his back on the headrest. A cold feeling pressed in his back when he rested on the headrest. At first he wondered if he had pressed his back on ice only to lately notice that it wasn’t the wooden headrest that was cold but his body that was burning like coal. “Why are we here? I can’t remember what happen before?”

A slight panic came on the voice of Li Lian, “You don’t have to remember it now and take rest. They called me when you fainted here during your meeting and they take you to rest in one of the rooms in this hotel.” That happened? That was careless of him, thought Li Jun Wei.

The heat that he felt didn’t calm down, instead it only raise which made his forehead to draw sweat from the amount of heat his body produced. Pulling his necktie, he pressed his head once again. Li Lian quickly came beside him, taking what he see to look like a glass and bring it to his hands, along with another small pills to his left hand while the glass on the right. “The doctor told me you need to take this medicine to ease your fever. I don’t think you remember seeing the doctor because he was here when you were asleep.”

While Li Lian explained to him what happened, Li Jun Wei could barely follow what she said. His senses that was once sharp turn something entirely different. Understanding Li Lian’s words took him more than only hearing and patient, and he could only draw a few broken words from her.

Almost with all patience the world could give to a single person, Li Lian helped him to drink the medicine, helping him during he drink by holding the glass and put it away once Li Jun Wei had finished drinking what he was given by his wife. Li Jun Wei almost had no guard at the moment, and it was because he never guard himself whenever he was with Li Lian, his wife.

Just like now, Li Jun Wei let Li Lian to sit beside him, holding to his right hand while her other hand settled on his chest, the touch was cool for his body which he needed as his body felt like coal, “It’s hot,” he whispered.

“The medicine would take a longer time for it to work, does my hand feel cool?” Li Lian bring her hand forward under his chin. “Where is it hot? I will help you. Is it here?”

The Li Lian in front of him reached out her hand, holding it out to touch the back of his ear but stopped midway as Li Jun Wei caught her by her wrist.

He could feel his head turning mushy and numb, but it didn’t stop him to guess the Li Lian in front of him wasn’t his real wife. His grip on ‘Li Lian’s’ wirst tighten, and a sharp voice coming from pain left ‘Li Lian’s’ lips. “W-What happen, Jun Wei, is it too painful?”

“You are not Li Lian,” Li Jun Wei forced the words to come out from his lips in a great difficulty as his body temperature had shot up more than normal person and there was something in his body that felt stirred as if his entire blood that flowed to his body was lava. Nonetheless, he didn’t stop narrowing his eyes on ‘Li Lian’ in front of him. The woman had done well in looking like Li Lian as his eyes were a blur at the moment, but he could tell by the gesture this person wasn’t his wife. For a person who had been watching Li Lian, he knew this wasn’t her.

His husky voice turn deeper, “Who are you?”
