About fifteen minutes later, Ji Yue returned to the private room and began searching for her cell phone.
Jiang Feng, Wu Minqi, and Zhang Guanghang had spent less than five minutes discussing and unanimously felt that a beating was the best option; even Ji Xia, who had already been thrashed, nodded in agreement.
"Does anyone know where Xue usually goes at noon? Doesn't she stay in the shop? I searched both the private room and the hall but didn't see her," Ji Yue asked while making a phone call.
"Doesn't she usually nap in one of the private rooms on the third floor? Did you check there?" Jiang Feng asked.
"Of course I did. I've looked at every room," Ji Yue said, looking at her phone, "See, she didn't answer the phone either. If she were napping, she would've picked up when the ring sounded."
"Could she have gone out to buy something?" Wu Minqi, who occasionally went out shopping, suggested.
