Chapter 783 - 781: Li Bingshuang in Trouble
However, the Celestial Wolf Gang was acting, and no matter how much Li Bingshuang refused to admit it, there was nothing she could do. She didn’t think those shareholders dared to oppose the Celestial Wolf Gang, as that would risk them being silenced at any time.
This night, Li Bingshuang couldn’t sleep.
She never expected that helping Chen Tianlong would bring a catastrophic disaster to the company, but she felt no regret.
Undoubtedly, at the shareholders’ meeting the next day, Li Bingshuang had to relinquish her position as president of Baiyun Group, and her shares became unrecoverable due to the South Sea City’s project, leaving her heavily in debt and penniless.
This news quickly reached Chen Tianlong’s ears. Originally, he thought of going over immediately to solve the problem, but Lin Wushuang’s phone call made him abandon this decision.
"Chen Tianlong, something bad has happened. My dad is missing, and he didn’t come home all night." Lin Wushuang cried over the phone.
"Wushuang, don’t worry. I’ll accompany you back to the Lin Family to have a look." Chen Tianlong knew something was wrong. Just after a mishap with the Baiyun Group, the head of the Lin Group went missing. This was clearly someone’s deliberate act.
"Hmm."
Lin Wushuang now trusted Chen Tianlong very much and was no longer as capricious as before.
Five minutes later, in the Audi car, Lin Wushuang sat in the passenger seat, her expression very tense. She had just learned of her father’s incident.
Mr. Hu, the butler, called, saying that on the way home last night, a car ahead blocked their path. Later, when Mr. Hu got out to check the situation, he was unexpectedly attacked from behind and knocked unconscious.
When he woke up, it was already one or two in the morning. To avoid disturbing the young lady, he could only take the servants to search, and even reported to the police.
However, until the morning, the police still had not found any trace.
"Alright, Wushuang, I roughly understand the situation. Your father’s disappearance was deliberately arranged by someone. I’m not yet clear about their motives, but rest assured, Mr. Lin is a prominent figure in South Sea City, no matter how fierce the criminals are, they wouldn’t dare harm him easily. We should calm down and wait for the results."
Chen Tianlong initially estimated that Lin Batian’s disappearance was definitely related to the Hao, Xu, and Mo families. After all, in South Sea City, those daring enough to act against the Lin Family were nothing more than these people.
"But..."
"No buts. We are family, no matter what, I will always be by your side." Chen Tianlong said this casually, but to Lin Wushuang, it had another meaning.
Whether intentional or not, Lin Wushuang was deeply moved.
"Thank you, Chen Tianlong." Lin Wushuang said softly, looking at Chen Tianlong with deep affection.
"Haha, so polite." Chen Tianlong smiled slightly and began to speed up. Twenty minutes later, the two arrived at the Lin Family Mansion, where, besides Mr. Hu, there were a few familiar faces.
"Yufei, Zhou Qiang, you are here too." Chen Tianlong quickly greeted them.
"Yes, this kidnapping case is no small matter. Lin Batian is a prominent figure in South Sea City, and the criminals are quite bold to target him."
Zhang Yufei was evidently agitated; these criminals did not seem to take South Sea City’s police seriously.
"Exactly, Officer Zhang, you must bring them to justice and rescue my father." Lin Wushuang stepped forward to say.
Chen Tianlong smiled without speaking. For someone who could dismantle Baiyun Group and easily capture Lin Batian around Mr. Hu, it was clearly not ordinary criminals.
Having ordinary people like Zhang Yufei confront mystics is undoubtedly self-destructive. After thinking for a while, Chen Tianlong said, "Yufei, I think this matter is not that simple. Remember, do not act rashly, and be sure to inform me when you notice anything."
"Oh, okay."
Zhang Yufei, seeing Chen Tianlong’s serious expression, nodded in acknowledgment.
Chen Tianlong did not linger, moved to Mr. Hu’s side, and asked, "Mr. Hu, please recount last night’s events to me in detail."
Mr. Hu nodded and meticulously explained the circumstances of the previous night to Chen Tianlong.
Having heard the full tale, Chen Tianlong evidently detected something suspicious. Such detailed knowledge of their whereabouts must have stemmed from carefully planned actions; there couldn’t be any other explanation.
"Based on my analysis, just as Baiyun Group’s troubles began, Mr. Lin’s predicament arose. As for Li Bingshuang’s account, it seems the Celestial Wolf Gang is involved, and likely, Hao Shuai is behind this mischief."
At this point, Chen Tianlong felt he was being somewhat absolute. "However, it seems many strangers have arrived in South Sea City recently, indicating possibly more than just the Celestial Wolf Gang’s interference."
"Chen Tianlong, are you suggesting there are others conspiring in the kidnapping?" Zhang Yufei gleaned something suspicious from Chen Tianlong’s words.
Chen Tianlong nodded, based on his conjecture, if the Xu Family were involved, the Hao Family surely wouldn’t stand idly by. As for the Xu Family, Chen Tianlong had no suspicions, given that World Medicine had no economic impact on them, even if World Medicine qualified in the next quadrennial family ranking; it bore little relevance to the Xu Family.
The biggest concerns were the Hao Family and the Mo Family.
After thinking it over, Chen Tianlong somewhat comprehended the situation.
"Alright, Yufei, wait for my message. I’m going to check something." If it turns out to be the Xu and Hao families, things become easier to handle.
Within the Xu Family, Chen Tianlong had an informant, Wang Dahua, and within the Hao Family, there was also Xu Wei. Their lack of activity suggested Lin Batian wasn’t at the Xu or Hao Family residences.
The only one left was the Mo Family.
Twenty minutes later, Chen Tianlong once again scaled the walls into the Mo Family courtyard; but this time, not to settle scores but to locate someone.
Though the Mo Family was sizable, its structures were straightforward, with four villas in total, while the old fellow Mo Yun resided in the back hills. It seemed unfeasible to bring someone there without necessity.
Therefore, Chen Tianlong focused his search in this area.
After entering the courtyard, Chen Tianlong swiftly began his search. However, after searching all the villas, he found no sign of anyone. Just when he felt somewhat disappointed, a familiar figure appeared.
It was the Mo Family’s third young lady, Mo Xue.
Carrying a small basket, Mo Xue emerged from the kitchen and headed toward the back hills.
Originally, Chen Tianlong had no intention of going to the back hills again, given that the trouble last time arose there. If not for Elder Li’s Immunity Token saving his life, he might have ended up behind bars indefinitely.
However, at this critical moment, Mo Xue delivering food posed two possibilities: either for that bastard Mo Yun or someone in captivity. Hence, Chen Tianlong had no choice but to follow.
Along the way, with his superb tracking skills, Mo Xue remained unaware until reaching the small cabin, where she glanced back once.
At that moment, Chen Tianlong quickly darted into the nearby grove.
As soon as Mo Xue turned and entered the cabin, Chen Tianlong immediately followed. At this moment, Mo Yun clearly wasn’t around, which naturally, Chen Tianlong did not know. Thus, he cautiously approached the cabin and stealthily opened the door to slip inside.
After setting the dishes, Mo Xue idly tidied up the room. Suddenly noticing a glimmer, she immediately became alert, a sharp dagger suddenly appearing in her hand.
Pretending not to know, she continued tidying things up.
Meanwhile, Chen Tianlong intended to enter other rooms to search, to see if Lin Batian was being held there.
