Mu Tangchuan grabbed the glass and sat down on the chair.
“Alright now, doing that doesn’t help. Just try to find out what happened first. I feel terrible listening to Chen’s tone just now. I don’t care. You need to help them out no matter what. Spend whatever resources needed to find them.” Zhuang Shurong seemed worried as she looked at Mu Tangchuan’s serious expression.
Mu Tangchuan patted the back of her hand and took a sip of water. “I’ve made the necessary arrangements. It’ll take some time, so don’t worry for now.”
“Maybe Qi Lei and Ah Mo are together. Thinking about it, the two of them have suffered a hard life. Ah Mo has finally gotten together with Lingshi and is about to become a father soon. As for Qi Lei, I heard he’s preparing to start his new company soon. I hope they can return safely,” Zhuang Shurong spoke in a worrisome tone.
“By the way, how’s it going with the investigation that Ah Chen asked you about a while ago?” Zhuang Shurong did not forget it because she knew it was something that constantly bothered Mu Yuchen.
Perhaps because a lot had happened in the past year and she was getting older, she was not as passionate at work as she used to be. she had shifted a lot of her attention to her family.
Zhuang Shurong was a headstrong woman herself, especially since she got into the field of politics. After more than 30 years in the industry, she could proudly claim that she was a successful lawmaker, but she could never claim to be a good mother, daughter-in-law, or even a good wife.
Fortunately, the Mu family and Mu Tangchuan supported her journey all these years.
Zhuang Shurong felt accomplished at this stage of her life. Unfortunately, her mother-in-law…
With all these incidents happening one after another…
Mu Tangchuan just remembered it after Zhuang Shurong reminded him. He put the glass of water down and went to the tall bookshelf. He took a thick folder from the bookshelf before returning to the chair. Then, he opened the folder as he spoke with a cold tone, “Thankfully, Ah Chen insisted, so the police resumed their investigations. They found out that two days before Lingtian’s incident, there was something wrong with his car and he sent it for repair. We wanted to check with the workshop he sent to and ask some questions, but the workshop has already closed down, and the owner is nowhere to be found. The police are still searching. Take a look.”
Mu Tangchuan handed the documents to Zhuang Shurong who frowned as she read through them.
He sighed. “Everything is back to square one. Even though we have some clues now, it’s still very difficult to search, especially when the incident’s passed for so long. They wouldn’t leave the clues around for so long for us to find.”
“We should let Ah Chen know. At least, he has an idea of what’s going on, but now we should focus on Ah Mo’s matter.”
Mu Tangchuan took back the documents and shoved them back into the large folder. “Mmm, okay, Ah Mo’s matter is much more pressing, and we can only wait. This is too sudden. Things don’t look so good over at City B, and the weather situation is a concern as well. It might also be due to some environmental factors there.”
“Our people have almost flipped City B upside down. Ah Chen also asked Su Chen to look through the security camera footage to find some clues.”
“Let’s just wait for now. I don’t feel very good about this too.”
…
Midnight passed. The rain poured down heavily at 3 a.m. in City B, so the whole city looked like it was about to be flooded.
There were hardly any cars were on the street at the moment. The visibility on the road was extremely low.
Ah Bao had rushed over from City Z yesterday after receiving the orders. Although the heavy rain continued to fall, he had no choice but to start searching for Ah Mo.
According to the hotel security camera footage, Ah Mo and Qi Lei stayed at the same hotel, and they left the hotel one after another, seeming to head to the airport, but both of them never made it to the airport or get on the flight.
They searched along the road, but their search proved fruitless, and they could not find anything suspicious either.
While Ah Bao was in the car, he frowned when he noticed a car slowly closing in.
The car stopped and the door opened despite the heavy rain, a man in a black suit came out holding an umbrella. He quickly walked towards Ah Bao who unlocked the door to let the man enter.
The man in the black suit quickly reported, “Bro Bao, we can’t find anything at all. It seems like we’re not the only people searching, Missus and Chief Mu have sent people here to search as well. They searched along the highway and tried to find if there’s anything suspicious too.” He dried himself with a towel as he gave his report.
Ah Bao’s expression was strained. “I’ll ask Master later. Get me a map of this road!”
The other man in a black suit in the front passenger seat switched on the light in the car and swiftly grabbed a map for Ah Bao.
Ah Bao opened the map and studied it closely. “I’ll put a mark on the split road along this way. This path leads to the airport, and the cars only started going from the south side since the new airport was built. The traffic is horrible there, so they must’ve taken this path. Here, here, and here are the blind spots of the security cameras.”
