Chapter 477 Stirring up Trouble
"Mr. Chu, we have lost contact with Miss Dong, and there has been no unusual activity at the Zhao residence in Suzhou City. However, we've received information that one of the Zhao family's ladies in Suzhou is also missing, and Miss Dong's target was her."
In the hall of Emperor's Mansion Villa Number One in the magical city, Chu Mo's expression was solemn. Opposite him, including the head of the bodyguards, Fan Gao, and even Zhang Xiaoyan who had just joined the detective agency, were standing.
The person reporting the situation was the head of the detective agency, Jiang Tao, a towering man two meters twenty in height, with a serious expression and an air of coldness about him.
Chu Mo didn't speak; he just looked around indifferently. Inside the hall, including several spokespersons, everyone remained silent, and whoever Chu Mo's gaze landed on would lower their head.
At this moment, the entire hall was filled with a suffocating atmosphere. Everyone knew the sudden disappearance of a spokesperson in charge of hundreds of billions implied something grave.
After a long while, Chu Mo, still with an indifferent expression, turned his gaze to Jiang Tao. As the head of the detective agency and also the person responsible for everyone's safety, Chu Mo spoke sternly for the first time:
"Such an incident should not happen more than once; I do not wish for there to be a second time."
Jiang Tao, with the strength close to that of a Grandmaster, nodded vigorously, his voice deep:
"Rest assured, Mr. Chu, from now on, I will increase the security for everyone, raise the alert level to the highest, and absolutely prevent such an incident from happening again."
Chu Mo stared into Jiang Tao's eyes for a moment and then nodded slightly. What had happened had happened; dwelling on whose fault it was wouldn't help, and the most important task was to locate the missing person as soon as possible.
"This matter is definitely linked to the Zhao family in Suzhou City. Regardless of their direct or indirect involvement, I will make them pay the price. Prepare the car; I'll go to Suzhou myself!"
As his words fell, among the few spokespersons opposite him, Zhan Bingxue, the earliest to follow Chu Mo, suddenly said:
"Mr. Chu, it's too dangerous for you to go alone. Since they dared to make a move on Dong Xun'er, it's clear they came prepared. If you go now, and these people are really determined, affronting you...!"
Zhan Bingxue, with a 95 point beauty score and in charge of the Bafang International Chain Hotel, had a hint of worry in her eyes. She had spent the longest time by Chu Mo's side and witnessed his growth firsthand. She had developed very complex feelings for Chu Mo and naturally did not want to see him take such a risk.
Before Chu Mo could speak to reassure her, Yang Xuan at his side said directly, "If you must go, then I will accompany you!"
Chu Mo looked at his former roommate standing opposite him. Of everyone in the hall, Yang Xuan had spent the most time with him. They had lived under the same roof for three years before he got the unlimited credit card, and now she controlled the Longevity Club, which could surpass trillions in assets if it bore fruit.
More importantly, the Longevity Club would have tremendous clout over all the world's top magnates due to its extensive connections.
Yang Xuan, as the head of the Longevity Club and sharing the closest relationship with Chu Mo, was also extremely concerned about his safety. Knowing Chu Mo wouldn't heed advice, she wanted to accompany him.
Chu Mo looked at the several spokespersons in front of him, itching to speak. These were the people he trusted the most; whether it was Liang Bing or Ruyu, they had each shared the most intimate relationship with him. Chu Mo gestured lightly with his hand, silencing the others' attempts to persuade him, his voice utterly serious:
"I must personally handle this matter and eliminate all potential threats at their source. If we cannot manage this properly, similar incidents may occur a second and a third time. Everyone by my side is of the utmost importance; I can't allow such events to keep happening..."
Chu Mo's words were grave, and seeing his cold demeanor, everyone understood that more words would be futile. Although worry was still visible on every face, no one spoke further.
At that moment, Chu Mo's gaze shifted to Jiang Rourou.
Among all the spokespersons, aside from Lu Siyue who maintained her own stance, Jiang Rourou was definitely the most favored. The reasons weren't just related to the Star Technology Company she managed, but more importantly, because behind Jiang Rourou stood a Great Grandmaster, a truly powerful being capable of defeating a Grandmaster like Fan Gao with a single strike.
"Rourou, this is no ordinary situation. If mishandled, all the spokespersons around me might be threatened in the future, including you. So, to eliminate all consequences at their root, I need the help of the forces behind you!
Your grandfather, the old master Jiang Dingnan, must accompany me on a trip to Suzhou City this time."
After spending two months together and managing billions in assets, Jiang Rourou didn't hesitate. She nodded, her expression serious.
...
Two hours later, including ten Hongqi cars, ten Hummers, and ten Rolls-Royces, a total of over a hundred luxury cars left the detective agency building in the magical city, all heading toward the Zhao family in Suzhou City.
"Mr. Chu, this is the detailed information on the Zhao family. Zhao Yao, the Family Head of the Zhao family, is known to be low-profile and seldom appears in public events. However, he commands respect in Suzhou City. He has five brothers, ranking as the youngest; people in their circle call him Zhao Liuye."
