Crisis After Crisis (8)

"I tracked her number… but it's weird, her number shows that she's still living in her apartment, but when we went to check, no one was there. I think she left her phone in her apartment. I also checked all the intersections and it doesn't seem like she left the city."2

"Do you think something happened to her?" Qin Chu asked faintly.

"I don't think so… I checked all the suspicious people around her, but no one seemed to pose a threat to her… I even looked into the gang cases in T City but there weren't any robberies… The apartment Jiang Linyue lives in is really safe, so I don't think anyone could've done anything to her, unless she wanted to disappear…"

"I was thinking the same thing… I think she went into hiding…"

"What do you plan on doing? Silencing her after you find her, or…?" Rick thought Qin Chu wanted to tie up all the loose ends.

"I think someone used her… The incident in T City is pretty big, she's not capable of causing so much trouble… but I bet she knows inside intel, so Jiang Linyue is a critical person. I want to find her so I can find out what really happened."

"Okay then, I'll keep looking."

"No, Rick, you should set this aside for now."

"Why?" Rick didn't understand why Qin Chu asked him to stop.

"I have a feeling that Jiang Linyue is going to come looking for me. They might want to negotiate with me."

"Then is there anything else I can help you with?" Rick asked in all seriousness.

"Keep following Huo Siqian, and… tell your people to be smarter. If they follow him too closely, they're not going to find anything."

"Mhm, I got it."

After hanging up, Qin Chu pressed his internal line.

"Yes, Sir?" Yang immediately pushed open his office door.

"Get the private jet ready, I'm going to T City."

"Right now?" Yang was dumbfounded.

"Yes, right now." Then, Qin Chu picked up his black suit jacket and headed out.

No one knew how important the matter in T City was; the forced demolition had caused extreme public unrest. People signed a petition and sent it to the provincial government and even threatened to appeal it with the federal government in Jing City.

Most importantly, rumor has it that one of GK's partnered construction teams was so immoral that they disregarded the safety of the residents and demolished their apartments in the middle of the night, causing a regional collapse. A family of five that consisted of both adults and children was crushed to death.

This piece of news hadn't been exposed yet because a high-level official in T City didn't want to assume responsibility, so he kept the reporters under control.

However, Qin Chu knew this matter was of the utmost importance because if it wasn't properly dealt with, more people might die…

Like before, whoever was behind this incident was sacrificing people's lives to ruin GK's reputation.

Only one person was capable of doing something so ruthless…

At this thought, Qin Chu's expression darkened…

This was now more than a battle between businesses – it was a merciless bloodbath.

Qin Chu had a feeling that his enemy wanted more than to just destroy GK.

He wanted Qin Chu to die an ignominious death…

Before Qin Chu left C City, he sent Huo Mian a WeChat message; he didn't let anyone else know that he was leaving.

"Honey… I'm going to T City to deal with some emergency matters. I might not be back tonight, remember to eat on time and sleep early. Don't worry about me."

After Huo Mian received his message, she called Qin Chu but his phone was already turned off…
