"Take a call."

Boss Jiang got up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and answered the phone, overlooking the city from above.

About three minutes later, he returned.

"Ping Li is secured."

Cao Jinse smiled slightly and then said, "Congratulations."

Jiang Chen sat back down.

"Ping Li is like a rope tying the Four Major Families together. Now that the rope is broken, it will be difficult for the Four Major Families to cooperate as closely as they did before. It should be much smoother from now on."

Although Ping Li is a small place, its strategic significance is substantial.

In war, morale and cohesion are very important.

Once people’s hearts disperse, it is difficult to gather them again.

"What are you planning next?"

Lan Peizhi asked.

Jiang Chen mused, "The Four Major Families must be eliminated, but dealing with them all at once will certainly force them to reunite, so we must take it slow. We can first target the Wei Family. The other three will likely be happy to sacrifice the Wei Family for appeasement."

Without the support of their secret backers, what can the Four Major Families in Myanmar do against the mysterious forces from the East?

The fate of the Four Major Families is already sealed, and Cao Jinse doesn’t even need to consider it anymore.

"I support this; behind the scams in Myanmar are these four families. Countless families in Shenzhou have been harmed by them; they must pay the price they deserve."

Jiang Chen glanced at her.

CEO Cao pretended not to notice and said, "If possible, it would be best to extradite them."

"Why don’t you take the lead next?"

Feigning kindness, Jiang Chen suggested, but Cao Jinse would not fall for it and pretended not to hear.

Jiang Chen sighed.

"Enough, your contributions will be remembered."

"Heard you, you’ll testify for me," Jiang Chen said to Lan Peizhi.

"Should I write you a note?"

Cao Jinse inquired.

Jiang Chen instinctively nodded, then realized, "What good is your note without an official stamp?"

"Go to hell."

CEO Cao finally couldn’t hold back and laughed, cursing.

Jiang Chen leaned back lazily and said, "What would you do if something happened to me?"

Lan Peizhi and Cao Jinse fell silent simultaneously.

"The company, and so many projects, can you find someone else to replace me?"

Boss Jiang seemed calm but was actually quite panicked inside.

I slipped up.

The tense atmosphere suddenly eased.

"I need to take a trip to Dongying soon; the company will be up to you and Aunt Lan," Cao Jinse said.

"What are you going to Dongying for?"

"Jiuding has an energy project in Dongying that I need to examine."

Exactly.

CEO Cao holds multiple positions and is not just the founder of Great Wall.

Considering the Jiuding Group, Jiang Chen certainly couldn’t be rude inquiring further, but—Dongying?

A bewitching face flashed before his eyes.

Jiang Chen gripped the coffee bottle and couldn’t help but say, "Shall I go with you?"

Cao Jinse was taken aback, "What will you do there?"

You’re my strategic target, what do you think I’ll do?

Yet this aspiration was not something Boss Jiang would voice; he explained calmly, "I have a friend in Dongying whom I’ve wanted to visit for a long time, but never found the right opportunity."

"I’m going for work."

"I know, I won’t interfere with you. Once we get to Dongying, we’ll go our separate ways—you handle your business, and I’ll visit my friend."

How carefree.

To be so devoted, you could say he honors his family.

Cao Jinse, unable to respond immediately, also couldn’t find a reason to refuse.

"It’s settled then, let me know in advance when you’re going."

Boss Jiang thus made the decision himself.

He couldn’t always be on the defensive.

They occasionally came to tease him, and he had to find a chance to return the favor.

There’s an old saying in Shenzhou.

It’s impolite not to reciprocate.

"Alright, you chat."

With those words, Boss Jiang stood up, supporting himself with his knees, and as he left, he shook the coffee bottle in his hand, "Thanks."

Quite polite.

He left the office, closed the door, and a ringtone once again came from his pocket.

Jiang Chen took out his phone and was surprised to see it was Luo Peng calling.

Shouldn’t this guy be enjoying himself abroad and specifically asked not to be disturbed?

Jiang Chen smiled and answered the call, "Did the sun rise in the west? You still remember..."

"Wan Qing is missing!"

The tone on the other end lost its usual frivolousness, turning rather tense and even panicked.

Jiang Chen, interrupted, frowned slightly, "What’s the situation?"

"Wan Qing and I planned to visit the elephant park today, but when I got up, she was nowhere to be seen."

"Did you sleep together?"

It wasn’t intentional; Jiang Chen merely asked instinctively.

"No, one suite, two bedrooms."

Through the brief explanation, it was clear that Director Luo’s mood was very different from usual, with no energy for joking.

"Could she have gone out for breakfast?"

"Impossible."

Luo Peng said in an unprecedented tone, "You might not believe it, but I asked the hotel staff, and do you know what they told me?"

"Nobody has seen Xia Wanqing?"

"They said there is no such person as Xia Wanqing here; I came alone."

Hearing Luo Peng’s words, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but purse his lips.

"Jiang Chen, are you listening?"

"Are you joking?"

After a pause, Jiang Chen spoke. Although Luo Peng’s tone showed no signs of fabrication, what he said was hard to believe.

A living person disappeared into thin air?

"I’m not joking!"

Luo Peng spoke forcefully, with even a hint of horror, "Xia Wanqing really is gone, and I asked the cleaners, room service, the hotel front desk—I asked them all, and they all said there is no such person as Xia Wanqing. But clearly, when we went out these days, the front desk greeted us, and the cleaners and room service knew we were two people! But the weird thing is, they all seem to have amnesia, saying it’s been just me all along!"

Jiang Chen confirmed that Luo Peng was likely not joking.

"Don’t get too upset."

He calmed Luo Peng’s emotions.

Young Master Luo was generally a calm person, but being in a foreign country and encountering such bizarre events, anyone would find it hard to keep calm.

"Did you check the surveillance?"

Jiang Chen asked sharply.

People can lie, but surveillance cannot.

"Checked."

What Jiang Chen thought of, Luo Peng had obviously also considered.

"Did you see when Xia Wanqing left?"

Luo Peng was silent, and his subsequent response left Jiang Chen momentarily blank.

"The surveillance doesn’t show Xia Wanqing. From the day we checked in, I reviewed several days of footage—it’s been me alone from check-in till today."

"But clearly...we were always going in and out together."

As the person involved, the baffling experience obviously left Luo Peng bewildered too.

"Jiang Chen, what the hell is going on?"

Jiang Chen’s eyes flickered.

Luo Peng certainly hadn’t gone mad. Although drugs are legal in Xiang Country, Luo Peng, he knew for sure, wouldn’t touch such things. And it’s so early in the morning, he’s unlikely to be drunk, so his mental state should be fine.

Xia Wanqing went abroad with him. That point is beyond doubt. If what Luo Peng says is true, then the entire environment around him must be deceiving him, including the surveillance.

In this high-tech era, anything can be faked.

"How long has it been since you noticed Xia Wanqing was missing?"

"An hour, I noticed right after I woke up."

"Did you report it to the police?"

"No, I just got back from checking the surveillance."

"Report it immediately."

"But...how should I tell the police? All of Xia Wanqing’s things...clothes, passport, they’re all gone."

Is it done so thoroughly?

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but recall the previous news about a woman disappearing in a fitting room in Xiang Country.

If it’s just kidnapping, there’s no need for such elaborate efforts, right?

"Report it to the police. You must first ensure your own personal safety, and also immediately contact the embassy."

"Okay!"

Having encountered such a bizarre incident for the first time, Director Luo understandably lost his composure.

"Don’t worry too much; a living person can’t just vanish."

"Jiang Chen, I’m counting on you."

Young Master Luo is indeed a playboy, yet he is quite responsible. They went abroad together, and now with her mysterious disappearance, he’s certainly under great psychological pressure.

"Rest assured."

Jiang Chen smiled, "She cost me seventy million. My money isn’t that easy to earn."
