Shen Si’s brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
What’s going on? Based on Jiang Tao’s trajectory, he should have gone to the rest area, not left the headquarters as I assumed.
So, how did he get captured by the Song family?
Could it be that Brother Chen made a mistake?
People around him saw this and didn’t dare to speak, let alone ask. They just kept staring at the screen silently.
Finally, Jiang Tao reached the bedroom door, took out his keycard, and opened the door. The next moment, a shadow seemed to appear behind him. The door closed as if nothing had happened.
The corridor on the screen was empty and very quiet.
"!!!"
Shen Si’s eyes widened in shock. He couldn’t believe what he had just seen.
As for the others, they didn’t notice a thing and even seemed a bit bored.
Not long after, the door opened again and a person wearing a researcher’s uniform walked out and headed outside.
Anyone with half a brain could tell something was wrong.
The person who went in and the person who came out were clearly not the same!!!
"Play this footage at normal speed."
Shen Si took a deep breath. He had an inkling of what had happened, but he couldn’t believe it. He couldn’t believe the Song family would dare to break into the headquarters in broad daylight and kidnap someone.
"Yes."
The footage went back to the moment Jiang Tao opened the door.
Took out the keycard, opened the door, went in, and when he came out, it was already another person.
"Chairman Shen, could that person be using a Disguise Technique?" someone couldn’t help but ask.
Otherwise, how do you explain that the person who came out didn’t even look the same?
Shen Si shook his head upon hearing this.
After the normal speed playback, the ghastly figure that had entered at ten times the speed earlier was now visible.
As for the people around, their Martial Arts Realm was too low, so it was normal that they couldn’t see it.
"Slow it down to ten times speed."
"Yes."
After slowing the footage to ten times speed, everyone present could finally barely see what had happened.
It wasn’t any Disguise Technique at all.
It was just that when the person in front entered, the person in white clothing followed him in.
"This..."
Everyone was stupefied.
Anyone could see that something was wrong.
The person in white who walked out, what about the person who went in before? Could something have happened to them?
Shen Si frowned.
So, did Jiang Tao spill everything in his own room?
But how did that person in white get the information they wanted in less than ten seconds?
Where is Jiang Tao?
Still in the rest area?
If he is, the prospects don’t look good for him.
"Buzz, buzz."
At this moment, the phone in his hand vibrated.
Shen Si quickly answered the call.
"Chairman, we’ve searched, the rest area is empty. We’ve also checked other places; Jiang Tao hasn’t been seen anywhere."
"What?" Shen Si was extremely shocked, "You’re saying he’s not in the training room?"
"Yes, Chairman, we’ve checked thoroughly. It seems like Jiang Tao never even came back. The stuff on his bed hasn’t been touched. Chairman, do you think he might have secretly left the headquarters?"
"Damn it, Jiang Tao, hasn’t the Chairman already instructed everyone not to leave these days? How did he still sneak out?"
"No wonder he refused to join us when we looked for him, saying he was tired. It was just an excuse."
Everyone was angry, feeling deceived.
But what worried them more was that Shen Si had called, probably knowing something.
"Chairman, Jiang Tao, is he...?"
"You all head back first, I’ll handle this," Shen Si said.
"Yes."
On the other end of the phone, the group listened to the dial tone and looked at each other.
After a moment, someone asked in a trembling voice, "Jiang Tao, could something have happened to him?"
"I don’t know, maybe not?"
"Wouldn’t the Chairman call us out of nowhere?"
"Could he have been..."
"Stop guessing, since the Chairman doesn’t want us involved, let’s not speculate. We shouldn’t go out during this time."
"Yes."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Feeling a sense of doom hanging over their heads, impossible to shake off.
On the other side, Shen Si also felt a dark cloud looming.
"Set one camera here, keep an eye on whether anyone leaves the room, and another camera on that person, track where he goes next."
"Yes."
The screen split into two.
The left screen remained very quiet. Though people occasionally walked by, the door remained untouched.
On the right screen, the man in white walked down the corridor, through the crowd, and eventually into the lobby, then brazenly walked out, disappearing into the crowd outside the door.
"Chairman..."
Someone started to say something.
Shen Si raised his right hand, signaling him to be quiet.
His gaze stayed fixed on the left screen.
Until a few hurried figures appeared on the screen, pounding on the door and calling out Jiang Tao’s name.
When there was no response, one of them used brute force to break in.
From the moment the man in white left, to when the others arrived, the door had not opened once.
"So, Jiang Tao disappeared in the room? How did he leave the room?"
Shen Si’s eyebrows knit tightly.
Was it through a window or some kind of tunnel?
In theory, it was possible. Even jumping from several floors up wouldn’t injure Jiang Tao.
But was it really necessary?
Plus, the appearance of that man in white gave him a very bad feeling. His intuition told him Jiang Tao was likely taken by some Hidden method.
Just like the treasure the Chairman had, capable of holding people and taking them away.
His gut told him the second possibility was more likely.
"What you saw just now, don’t tell anyone, got it?" Shen Si said, sweeping his gaze around.
"Un-understood!"
Everyone nodded like pecking chickens.
"Good."
Shen Si gave a nod and then strode out.
Returning to the Chairman’s office, he locked the door and dialed Chen Fan’s number.
Soon, the call connected, and Chen Fan’s voice came through.
"So, Chairman Shen, have you figured it out?"
Shen Si sighed deeply, "Brother Chen, you were right. Jiang Tao has gone missing, and it happened at the headquarters."
"Went missing at the headquarters?"
Chen Fan was a bit taken aback.
"Yes, when he returned to his bedroom, he didn’t realize a man in white clothing was following him. As he opened the door, this person followed him in. A few seconds later, the man in white came out, left the headquarters, and Jiang Tao, I suspect, went missing at that moment."
"That makes sense."
Chen Fan nodded.
The Song family infiltrated the headquarters, targeted Chairman Shen, and those few people, and took the opportunity to capture whoever was alone.
"I think the same."
Shen Si took a deep breath, suppressing his anger.
The Song family was too audacious!
To break into the headquarters and kidnap someone was a blatant disregard for the Jiangnan Sub-district Martial Arts Association.
But venting anger was meaningless now.
With Song Gang’s death exposed, Jiang Tao was probably already killed. The trouble now would find them next.
