On the other end of the phone, Fu Zhenzhuo paused, "Even if Chen Nuonuo really got into trouble, how can you be sure that she was controlled by the people from Star Media? The security situation in Country M is well known to everyone. It's normal for a girl living alone there to encounter bad things, isn't it?"

Bai Lang said in a deep voice, "If you must ask, it's my intuition. My intuition is related to Star Media. Brother Fu, you know, my intuition has always been accurate. Even if you don't believe it, it won't take much effort to send some people to check over there."

Fu Zhenzhuo was convinced by him and said calmly, "Okay, I'll arrange for someone to go there right away."

Bai Lang hurriedly warned, "Hurry up. We don't know what to do with them after they take them away. If they are afraid of being discovered and hide or move away, it will be troublesome."

Fu Zhen copied, "Okay, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Fu Zhenzhuo instructed Assistant Huang to conduct a carpet search within a ten-kilometer radius based on the address Bai Lang gave.

He had some available people in Country M, so he acted quickly.

By the afternoon, there was news that his people had focused their attention on a nail salon in Chinatown.

"Mr. Fu, the strange thing about this nail salon is that they have been recruiting apprentices. However, according to our investigation, there have been four or five successful applicants recently. However, there have only been two nail technicians in this shop for a long time. No one knows where the recruits have gone."

Assistant Huang reported to Fu Zhen respectfully.

Because of his concern for Du Xiang, President Fu hasn't asked him to deal with these matters for a long time. Assistant Huang investigated very seriously this time and wanted to use the results of the investigation to show Fu Zhen that there was nothing wrong with his state of mind.

"Are all the people missing?" Fu Zhenmu frowned slightly.

Assistant Huang nodded. "There should have been some before, but it's hard to collect data, so we only checked within the past month. We can confirm that all the people who applied for the job within the past month are missing."

"No one called the police?" Fu Zhen asked.

Assistant Huang replied, "No, because in Country M, people who become apprentices for nail art are like those who wash dishes in restaurants. Most of them are international students and young people who have gone there alone to make a living. Especially for apprentices for nail technicians, the requirements for young people are higher. They don't have any relatives over there. Even if their family members in China find out something is wrong, it will be too late for them to react."

Fu Zhenzhuo said in a deep voice without any hesitation, "Take control of this nail salon immediately."

He felt that Bai Lang's intuition this time was really right by accident.

After Assistant Huang responded, he immediately turned around to make arrangements.

When he finished making the arrangements and was about to leave, Fu Zhen called him and asked, "How is the situation with Du Xiang?"

Assistant Huang showed a look of sadness and worry on his face, "There has been no news."

More than half a month has passed since Du Xiang last sent him a message.

Because it was Du Xiang who contacted him alone, no matter how worried Assistant Huang was, he couldn't contact Du Xiang.

If there had not been any bad news coming out from Star Media, Assistant Huang would have been unable to resist asking Fu Zhenzhuo to arrange someone for him to force his way in.

As a result, the situation is a bit awkward now. Du Xiang should be fine, but she has lost contact with the outside world. Assistant Huang is very worried.

But even though he was worried, he still showed his utmost professionalism, "Boss Fu, Du Xiang said before that if there is any situation, she will tell us directly. She hasn't contacted us yet, so I guess she hasn't found out the result yet."

Fu Zhenzhuo frowned. It would be a lie to say that he was not worried. Du Xiang had been with him for many years. Although she had left on her own initiative before, to be fair, Du Xiang was a very qualified assistant who was very easy for him to use.

Of course he didn't want anything to happen to Du Xiang.

"Wait a little longer, I believe her." Fu Zhenmu finally said.

Assistant Huang nodded, feeling a little heavy-hearted.

"Then I'll be out first, Mr. Fu."

Fu Zhenzhuo waved his hand.

At night, news came from Country M, one good news and one bad news.

The good news is that the nail salon was successfully taken down and more than 20 people inside were controlled, including the manicurist, the innocent girl who was deceived, and armed men with guns.

The bad news was that while his men were controlling these people, a sniper opened fire at the nail salon. Except for the innocent girls who were deceived, all the others who might know something about the situation were assassinated.

They were in the open while the enemy was in the dark, and they didn't even have a chance to protect witnesses.

Fu Zhenchuo was not surprised to hear the news.

He called Bai Lang first, "Chen Nuonuo was not rescued. It was said that because her previous escape was very serious, she was placed in solitary confinement and was taken away from the place a long time ago."

Then Fu Zhenzhuo briefly explained the situation over there. Bai Lang sighed, "This is her fate. The rest is up to God."

He felt a little sad. When he saved Chen Nuonuo, he had some heroic complex, and it was the first time in his life that he did a good deed.

I originally thought it was just an act of pure kindness, but I didn't expect that Chen Nuonuo was caught up in no ordinary whirlpool.

Although it was a bit of a pity, he knew that this was his fate.

Although he does not accept his fate, he believes in destiny.

Fu Zhenzhuo couldn't help but think a little too much and said to him, "My condolences."

Bai Lang was puzzled, his eyes widened, "No, condolences? What condolences do you want me to express?"

Fu Zhenzhuo was stunned. "Don't you like Chen Nuonuo? But now she is in danger. Well, she is probably in trouble."

Bai Lang felt his head was spinning. "Who told you that I like Chen Nuonuo? I just felt sorry for her and wanted to save her. Brother, don't get married and become lustful when you see the world around you, okay?"

Fu Zhenzhuo was unusually silent for a moment, probably because he was really surprised, and then he said, "I'm sorry, I thought you cared about her, supported her and helped her with the lawsuit because you wanted to pursue her - no wonder you were worried about her, but refused to even go to Country M."

Bai Lang rolled his eyes, "Yeah, if I, Bai Lang, like someone, would I watch her fall into danger and do nothing about it?"

At the same time, Star Media.

Zhao Qing was already doing the finishing work. The company's overt industries remained unchanged, but some of the private assets were transferred or sold. Because it was done in secrecy and he was cautious not to carry out large-scale operations, it did not attract other people's attention.

After all, there are many sales channels for assets hidden in the dark. Even if Fu Zhenzhuo keeps an eye on them, it is impossible for him to keep an eye on all the channels.

He estimated that he would be able to get out of this situation completely in another half month.

Because Zhou Qiming now asked him to follow Zhou Ruotang, he is no longer as resistant to closing the company as he was at the beginning.

Today is the day for the company's regular meeting.

Du Xiang followed Manager Huang like a free and happy fish and entered the secret meeting room.

After this period of tactical pursuit, Manager Huang took better care of her. Even though his wife came to make trouble with the children several times, he did not distance himself from Du Xiang.

Even because Du Xiang was slapped by his wife, he felt so distressed for Du Xiang that he loved and trusted her more than before.

Du Xiang originally asked Assistant Huang to pass the news of Manager Huang's affair to his wife because she wanted his wife to see his true face as soon as possible. Isn't it better to divorce such a man and keep him for the New Year?

But beyond her expectations, the wife really wanted to keep Du Xiang for the New Year. Not only did she regard Du Xiang as the third party who seduced her husband, she also forced Manager Huang to fire her.

Du Xiang seldom meddled in other people's affairs, but this time when she did, she got herself into trouble. She simply treated Manager Huang's wife as a tool, making Manager Huang feel even more guilty and loving towards her.

She also heard some rumors about the recent developments in the company, but Manager Huang's authority was still too low to provide her with comprehensive information, so she did not take the risk of contacting Assistant Huang.

She had a vague feeling that today's meeting might be the key to breaking the deadlock.

The conference room soon filled up with people.

Zhao Qing sat in the main seat, next to him was Jing Luo. Both of them were smoking with their brows tightly furrowed, and soon the meeting room was filled with the smell of smoke.

Zhao Qing finished his cigarette, coughed, looked around, and said slowly, "I have an announcement today."

“The company is shutting down.”

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the conference room. Although these people followed Zhao Qing to do bad things and knew a little about these things, they were not brought by Zhao Qing but developed in the company.

If Zhao Qing wants to stop, what should they do?

Should they follow Zhao Qing or just lose their jobs? All the jobs they did before would get them jailed. If they were caught by the police, how would they protect themselves?

Everyone was in a panic and didn't know what to do. Even Manager Huang looked flustered.

Du Xiang watched all this with great interest, but maintained the same expression as everyone else.

She thought to herself, although she didn't know the full name of this Mr. Zhao, according to the information provided by Assistant Huang, there should be a series of industrial chains behind him. Now that he wants to stop, does this mean that the people behind him are going to retire?

Or did he simply give up on this one company? After all, doing this kind of thing in North City is really dangerous.

Zhao Qing raised his hand and said, "Be quiet."

No one in the conference room dared to say a word.

They all looked at Zhao Qing nervously, expecting how he would arrange for them next.
