From a good perspective, Jiang Tao is still in the headquarters at this moment and has not been captured by the Song Family. The act of betraying everyone has not happened yet, so there is still room for maneuver.
But not long ago, he felt a sense of discomfort.
If he guessed correctly, at that time Jiang Tao was probably already captured by the Song Family.
The reason he felt this way was also due to his high spiritual power and extraordinary sixth sense, which timely warned him.
"Okay, Brother Chen, wait a moment, I’ll contact Jiang Tao right away."
Shen Si also realized.
The more critical the moment, the more one must remain calm, otherwise, things will only get worse.
He hung up the phone and then dialed Jiang Tao’s cell number, hoping that he would answer the call, yet worrying that it might be someone from the Song Family answering instead.
"Beep... Beep..."
After a few rings, a female voice sounded, "Sorry, the number you dialed is out of service area, please try again later."
Shen Si frowned.
If the cellphone was placed in the spatial ring, such a situation would indeed occur.
Whenever they went on an adventure before, fearing that a call might disclose their hiding place or that they might get distracted, they always turned off their cell phones or placed them in the spatial ring in advance.
But since their last return, everyone has stayed at the headquarters, keeping their cell phones nearby. Besides, he had contacted them before.
Even if they were captured by the Song Family, it would be within Yan Country, wouldn’t it? They surely wouldn’t leave the planet, right?
Disbelievingly, he dialed a few more times, but the result was the same.
"What on earth is going on?"
Shen Si felt puzzled.
After pondering for a moment, he made another call to someone else.
Within seconds, the call was answered.
"Hello, Chairman."
The person on the call was panting, "What’s up?"
"Where are you now? Are you with Jiang Tao?" Shen Si asked, hoping against hope.
"Jiang Tao?"
The other person was stunned for a moment before responding, "No, when we last parted, we were still together. Later, a few of us decided to find a training room to spar. We asked Jiang Tao if he wanted to join, but he said he was tired and wanted to go back to rest. So, we left."
"So, except for Jiang Tao, the rest of you are all together?" Shen Si was a bit surprised.
"Yes, Chairman Shen, wait a second."
The other person moved his phone aside and shouted to those around him, "Everyone come here, Chairman Shen is calling, he’s looking for us."
"Chairman!"
"Chairman is calling?"
"Coming, coming."
Four or five voices sounded, and soon, everyone gathered around.
"Chairman, everyone is here, except for Jiang Tao. What’s happened? Has something occurred?"
Shen Si took a deep breath, feeling a chill rising from his feet.
Jiang Tao may have really encountered a mishap.
Just as Chen Fan said, he has been captured by the Song Family?
But he clearly reminded them that these times are extremely critical, and it’s best not to leave the headquarters. Did Jiang Tao take his words lightly?
Hearing no sound from the other end, the people in the training room realized that something might be wrong.
"Chairman, did something happen to Jiang Tao?" someone asked softly.
"Impossible, Jiang Tao was just with us over an hour ago, then he went back to rest. What could possibly happen in the headquarters?"
"Yeah, this is the headquarters, not just anyone can get in." said the others.
"Go check the resting room and see if he’s there. If not, check the places he usually goes. Inform me immediately if you find anything."
"Yes, Chairman!"
Everyone got tense, hung up the phone, and headed towards Jiang Tao’s bedroom.
Some took out their phones and dialed Jiang Tao’s number.
The result, of course, was the same as Shen Si’s.
"I should go to the monitoring room."
Shen Si muttered to himself, then quickly walked out of the office towards the monitoring room.
There are surveillance cameras in many places within the headquarters, working 24 hours, especially at entry and exit points. If Jiang Tao had left, the cameras would surely capture it.
"Chairman Shen!"
The people in the monitoring room were startled to see Shen Si coming in and quickly stood up from their chairs.
Why would Chairman Shen suddenly come here? Could he be inspecting their work?
"Retrieve me a piece of footage."
Without wasting words, Shen Si walked to the wall filled with monitors, "Time, an hour ago; place, my office."
"Yes."
Everyone quickly got to work, and within half a minute, retrieved the footage of Jiang Tao and the others entering the office one after another.
"Fast forward to when they leave the office."
The screen rapidly moved forward, the office door suddenly opened, and several figures walked out.
"Focus the camera on this person, ten times speed fast forward."
Shen Si pointed at Jiang Tao on the screen.
Frames flashed quickly on the screen, soon showing the moment when the group parted ways.
"This is it."
Shen Si’s eyes fixed on the camera; this is where Jiang Tao separated from the others. Now, keep watching to see what happened next.
On the screen, Jiang Tao was walking alone.
One step, two steps, ten steps, fifty steps.
