"Yes." She nodded, her eyes red.
Lin’s mother had never imagined that her daughter, who had been making money by doing business outside, had long since married into a wealthy family.
And the Shaoze she mentioned, that man named Rong Shaoze, could he be Xiaocong’s father?
Moreover, was she pregnant again?
Was the child really lost because she carelessly fell into the swimming pool?
Lin’s mother had a bad feeling. She felt that her daughter didn’t seem happy; it seemed like she had suffered a lot.
Because compared to the last time she saw her, she had lost a lot of weight, her chin was sharp, and she barely had any flesh on her bones...
Rong Shaoze mobilized many forces to search for Lin Xinlan’s whereabouts, both from the underworld and the legitimate world.
He even had some official personnel assist in the search.
For three consecutive days, B City was silently searching for a woman named Lin Xinlan.
But no matter how they searched, they couldn’t find any trace of her.
Rong Shaoze knew that Lin Xinlan must still be in B City; he just didn’t know where she had hidden herself.
In a dark study, a tall figure stood in front of closed blinds, arms folded across his chest, speaking in a deep voice, "You see how extensive his influence is in B City. He can cover the sky with one hand here; in B City, he’s the emperor of the land."
In the corner, another voice followed, "If it wasn’t for the search for Lin Xinlan, he wouldn’t have deployed so many people at once. Do you think these are all his assets?"
The man at the window curved his lips in a cold smile, "Not necessarily. His ability to be so arrogant probably means he has another ace up his sleeve. But after we turn over these assets, he should reveal his ace."
"I thought he was just a local tyrant, but he actually is an emperor of the soil."
"Don’t underestimate him, descendants of the Xuanyuan Family are all no easy marks."
"Are we still going to follow the original plan step by step?" the man in the corner asked.
"Yes, for now we can only cause him minor disturbances to slowly uncover his foundations, then we’ll have a chance to strike at him. Perhaps, without expending too much firepower, we could... destroy him."
"We can also have our own trump card. Even a seemingly insignificant character can be nurtured into a deadly assassin."
The man in the corner understood the implications of his words and fell silent.
"Young Master Shaoze, we haven’t found any trace of the Young Madam in this area," a subordinate said respectfully as he approached the sports car.
Rong Shaoze tiredly rubbed his nose bridge and said lightly, "Keep looking. She’s still in B City; even if we have to dig three feet into the ground, we must find her."
As the subordinate walked away, his phone rang again.
"Young Master Shaoze, you asked us to monitor Qiao Yiyang. After observing for several days, we found nothing unusual. There’s no trace of the Young Madam at his place. Apart from visiting the home of your cousin, he hasn’t gone anywhere else,"
Rong Shaoze frowned in irritation, "Keep monitoring... Wait a second."
An idea flashed through his mind, "You’re saying he went to Rong Mingyan’s house?"
"Yes, he went there once in three days."
"Gather some people immediately, and come with me to Rong Mingyan’s house."
"Young Master Shaoze, do you mean to say the Young Madam is hidden by him?"
Rong Shaoze let out a cold laugh, his eyes chillingly cold, "No wonder we’ve been unable to find her. Apart from his place, where else could she be hiding?!"
