Capítulo 835: 833 What exactly is high-level
Huo Zhao disappeared.
Only now did Shi Lan realize that besides the contract, the only way she could contact Huo Zhao was through his cell phone. But he had been in a lost state for three days already.
After the little bastard forwarded the ssage to Shi Lan, she delegated the task of investigation to Tang Ze.
Since it was to prevent her from implenting the online real identity verification system, it ant the person was still from within the industry and standing on the opposing side.
Not resolving matters within the industry but instead causing a loss of life, Shi Lan’s complexion hadn’t been good these past two days.
She had long regarded Huo Zhao as a younger brother. Now that he was missing without a trace, had it not been for Mr. Yan’s intervention, Shi Lan would have already stord off to Moscow.
In her previous life, she was a resolute and decisive person. She believed that no one was more ruthless than her when it ca to handling affairs. And now, was soone actually challenging her authority?
“Four groups have already been sent to search for him. Your going there won’t help matters. He risked danger to send you the ssage and wouldn’t want you to personally step into that dangerous place. All we can do now is wait.”
Shi Lan knew that Mr. Yan’s words made sense.
But Huo Zhao had put his life on the line for her ti and again. She had sworn not to let Huo Zhao face danger, yet it only took a few days before she broke that promise.
“Yan Shixiu, I want you to spare no expense, regardless of the consequences, even if it ans turning this world upside down, you must find him.”
Mr. Yan sighed, embraced her in his arms, gave her a rub, and said, “I know all that, and I will.”
“How am I supposed to explain this to the little bastard?”
There was no way to explain.
…
To track down this woman surnad i, Tang Ze acknowledged that he had used all his connections in the entertainnt industry over the years. This woman was truly well-hidden. Many internet celebrity and influencer managent companies seed unrelated, but behind them all was one actual person in charge, i Fenglan.
Indeed, this woman was ruthless. She had started her business early on, seen it rise and fall three tis, had fingers chopped off and been doused with sulfuric acid. After getting involved with internet magnates, she began operating her own dia company. Shi Lan had already shut down many of her companies before, but they never truly hit her where it hurt. However, if the online real-na system were to succeed, it would be a devastating blow to i Fenglan, virtually cutting off her money flow. Thus, the miss endured such frenzied obstruction and retribution.
“This woman has been married three tis and has three daughters but no sons. Her current husband is involved in the dical field, holding a high position. The woman keeps a low profile and does not like to be in the spotlight, so it took a great deal of effort just to get so of her old photos.” Tang Ze handed the information to Shi Lan and asked, “Boss, what do you plan to do?”
“Help with one more thing. Her husband holds a high position, yet she still acts so brazenly. There can only be two reasons: either her husband is imnsely powerful, which obviously is not the case in Yancheng, or else it’s the latter—their marriage is troubled. Investigate her relationship with her husband and her three daughters for . Soone who hurt my person, I need to make them taste what it’s like to have their heart pierced,” Shi Lan instructed Tang Ze while sipping her milk.
“Any news about Huo Zhao…?”
Shi Lan took a deep breath, set down her milk glass, and shook her head, “We only know that on the night he disappeared, there were gunshots and a big fire at the hotel where he was staying. I compared it with the ti he sent the ssage, which was after that incident.”
“That indicates he’s unhard.”
“That’s where the problem lies,” Shi Lan said seriously. “You know Huo Zhao, if he’s fine, he wouldn’t deliberately hide. I’m afraid… if he’s gravely injured or disabled, he wouldn’t want anyone to find him.”
Then he might really be untraceable…
Tang Ze nodded slightly upon hearing this, indicating his agreent.
But the price was just too high.
“I will also ask for help from both inside and outside the circle.”
Mr. Yan had dispatched four batches of capable people to look for him, but Huo Zhao had managed to avoid them all.
As an international bodyguard, as long as he didn’t want to be found, Shi Lan couldn’t expect to receive even the slightest bit of news about him.
That evening, two gunshots rang out. The other person’s head was blown off, and he was hit in the leg. The doctor diagnosed that after the bullet was removed, his right leg would never regain its previous agility—a fatal blow for a bodyguard.
So, the boss had been completely right.
Huo Zhao was a man who never left anything to chance, ruthless to others and even more so to himself.
Now that he had no use for Shi Lan, there was no need to see her again in the future.
As for the long-cherished wishes of certain individuals, he might never be able to fulfill them again.
…
When the little bastard realized he had been blocked by Huo Zhao, he was dazed. Everything was fine just a few days ago, and suddenly he couldn’t find Huo Zhao anymore in his contact list.
An Yang tried to call Huo Zhao, but the number was now out of service.
Recalling the WeChat ssage received a few days ago, An Yang imdiately called Shi Lan, “Sis, what’s going on? Did Big Woody block ? Did I offend him at all?”
Shi Lan knew she couldn’t keep it a secret any longer and said directly, “Huo Zhao has disappeared.”
After hearing this, An Yang was stunned. It took him a while to ask stamringly, “Is it… is it that night? The night I received the WeChat ssage?”
“Yes.”
“What on earth happened?”
“Your brother-in-law has already sent people to look for him in Moscow, but there’s been no news so far. He’s still alive but just refuses to show himself.”
An Yang couldn’t bear to listen anymore after what Shi Lan said next. Hanging up the phone, he thought of packing his bags and flying to Moscow imdiately. But then Shi Lan called back, “If you go looking for him yourself, he will only hide deeper. So, stay put in Japan. Even if I have to turn Moscow upside down, I’ll bring him back to you.”
An Yang was silent for a long while on the other end of the phone, then suddenly choked up, “Sis, I beg you. You two are the only, most important people left to .”
“I know. No matter how long it takes, I will never give up.”
…
Three days later, Tang Ze finally compiled all the information about the investigation into i Fenglan and hurriedly brought the materials to Jinlan No.1 Courtyard.
“Boss, just as you suspected, this i Fenglan may be a powerful businesswoman, but her family relationships are a complete ss.”
Was there even a need to guess?
She was the biggest reference herself.
Shi Lan scoffed coldly.
“i Fenglan’s husband always wanted her to be a housewife and mother, but she refused to give up her career. Also, because she didn’t have a son, her relationship with her husband was rely a facade, resentnt wouldn’t be an exaggeration. And her three daughters, because they lacked their parents’ company from a young age, grew resentful and rebellious. Here’s the information on her three daughters.”
Looking at the photos of her three daughters, Shi Lan suddenly smiled, “A family of weapons. Sign the second daughter. Since she majors in broadcasting and hosting and also looks quite good, she’s perfect to be the public face of an online spokesperson.”
“The more she wants to prove sothing, the more I want to destroy it.”
“I’m going to show her what real high-level manipulation of people’s hearts looks like.”
