The adversary ca to confront us, openly knocked out Shi Feng, left no clues, and retreated completely unscathed. This audacious act infuriated Luo Zheng, who desperately wanted to find the perpetrator and teach them a lesson. Seeing the humiliation on Shi Feng's face, Luo Zheng nodded in understanding and said, "This disgrace must be avenged, and we cannot sit here and do nothing. This is our country, and we can't let them make a mockery of us."
As he was speaking, Lan Xue's anxious voice abruptly ca through the earpiece: "Sothing's wrong, Liu Qingqing is missing."
"What? Missing?" Luo Zheng was shocked, his face turning livid, and he barked, "What happened?"
"I don't know what's wrong either," Lan Xue's icy voice sounded in the earpiece.
Even across the distance, Luo Zheng could sense Lan Xue's fury. A living person vanished inexplicably, putting Lan Xue, normally proud, in a state of distress. Worried that Lan Xue might do sothing reckless, Luo Zheng quickly said, "Don't panic, I'll be right there." He then looked at Shi Feng and continued asking, "I need to leave imdiately, you?"
"I'll just lie here for a while; my whole body feels weak. I can't really help at the mont. The damn bastard didn't kill instantly, so he's probably not coming back. I'm not the target. Go ahead confidently and take her," Shi Feng hurriedly said.
"Take care, stay in touch," Luo Zheng said earnestly. He glanced at the young thug, who realized sothing had happened again, and quickly packed up her things, rising to follow Luo Zheng out. Along the way, she didn't dare ask questions, and when they reached the hospital entrance, Luo Zheng flagged down a taxi and told the driver an address.
At hearing the address, the young thug imdiately panicked. She looked at Luo Zheng, who pulled out his phone with a serious expression and texted He Shan, asking him and the others to keep watch near the hospital. Luo Zheng sensed that the adversary's act of knocking out Shi Feng was no ordinary feat; what if they ca back for a surprise attack? Shi Feng was alone.
Thinking of this made Luo Zheng more convinced of his suspicion. If Shi Feng were eliminated, his n would likely dissent, refuse to obey orders, or even leave, significantly reducing Luo Zheng's defensive strength. If that were to happen, what would it imply? Luo Zheng pondered over it, frowning.
"Could they be wary of the police? Why?" Luo Zheng wondered to himself. He suddenly felt the young thug's gaze on him and startled, asked, "What's up?"
"Is it my mom?" the young thug asked nervously.
Luo Zheng nodded ambiguously, realizing there was no way to hide it. He quietly said, "The specifics aren't clear right now, don't worry, driver, step on it." The latter remark was directed at the taxi driver.
Ten minutes later, they arrived at the Liuyuan Group building and rushed inside. The security guards recognized the young thug and did not stop them. The two rode the elevator up to the top floor, where Ghost Hand waited in the hallway. Upon seeing Luo Zheng, Ghost Hand softly said with guilt, "The captain's emotions are unstable, the situation is odd, nothing has been announced yet."
"Hmm, we must keep the news contained; we ourselves can't be disordered," Luo Zheng nodded. He glanced at the young thug, who was confused and walked ahead blindly. Luo Zheng sighed and exchanged a glance with Ghost Hand, who understood and moved forward quickly.
Soon, they arrived at the door of the president's office, pushed it open, and saw Snow Leopard comforting Lan Xue. Lan Xue's expression was grave, and her whole body emanated coldness, like an iceberg. The lost target had pushed Lan Xue to the extres of anger and self-bla.
"Don't worry, you'll find her," Luo Zheng gently patted Lan Xue's shoulder as he spoke, but the words seed hollow and ineffective. Lan Xue showed no reaction, and Luo Zheng looked at Ghost Hand, who shook his head to indicate ignorance. He turned to Snow Leopard, and Snow Leopard also shook his head.
"Where's my mom? What exactly happened? How could you lose my mom?" the young thug suddenly shouted angrily, glaring at Luo Zheng.
"Stop yelling! Does yelling resolve anything?" Luo Zheng rebuked impatiently.
The young thug was silenced, and Luo Zheng exchanged glances with Ghost Hand, who nodded in understanding, pulling the young thug outside with Snow Leopard's help. The two escorted her out, one on each side, while Luo Zheng looked at Lan Xue and softly asked, "Stop blaming yourself. Tell , what exactly happened?"
Lan Xue got up and led Luo Zheng forward, pointing to the elevator. "Ghost Hand and Snow Leopard were outside; this elevator goes directly to the basent for Mrs. Liu's use; it requires palm print and voice to operate. I was initially sitting on the sofa resting while Mrs. Liu was correcting docunts, and then I went to the bathroom, ca out, and she was gone."
"Hiss?" Luo Zheng was shocked. How could a person just vanish into thin air? Ghost Hand and Snow Leopard were standing guard outside; no one could enter quietly and abduct soone. The only passage was the elevator, but it's exclusive for Mrs. Liu. No one could enter discreetly and take her away.
Even if possible, if soone ca in, Mrs. Liu wasn't a fool; she would definitely press the alarm. The alarm was provided by Luo Zheng himself to Mrs. Liu this morning; a simple press would alert everyone. From the elevator to the desk is about twelve ters, sufficient for Mrs. Liu to call for help.
Even if she forgot to press the alarm, there would be so commotion, right? Lan Xue was inside, in the bathroom, which was also Mrs. Liu's exclusive use. Separated by the door, it's illogical not to hear anything. The situation seed bizarre unless Mrs. Liu ran away herself.
Thinking of this, Luo Zheng shivered in surprise and looked at Lan Xue, who nodded and said, "You've guessed it, right? Yes, there's only one explanation, she ran away herself. But why would she do this in such a critical period? Mrs. Liu isn't foolish; there must be sothing behind this I can't fathom."
"It seems the situation is more complicated than we imagined. Mrs. Liu might not be simple," Luo Zheng pondered thoughtfully, reflecting on past interactions without finding anything suspicious. This heightened Luo Zheng's vigilance even further; if she truly escaped herself, why choose to disappear during such critical tis?"
"Imdiately investigate Mrs. Liu, don't overlook any detail," Luo Zheng swiftly instructed through the earpiece.
"Understood," Lan Xing quickly complied, relieved that Luo Zheng hadn't scolded Lan Xue.
"Charlie knocked out Shi Feng, and now Mrs. Liu is missing. There must be so reason behind it—could it be that they want to disrupt you?" Lan Xue continued analyzing.
"That's entirely possible. If Mrs. Liu's disappearance is linked to Charlie, and if she vanished herself, it points to a greater mystery. Charlie is indeed formidable. We need to break convention and counterattack using unconventional ans," Luo Zheng said gravely, his brows furrowed.
"Have you thought of a way?" Lan Xue asked in surprise.
