As the workday came to an end, the office lobby of the Zong Group was nearly empty. Tong Le casually pulled a chair and sat next to Jin Zi Meng. Jin Zi Meng had already gone through all the surveillance footage from the company and questioned several employees who had a good relationship with her mother, but no one knew her mother's whereabouts. A perfectly healthy person had simply vanished into thin air.
Tong Le pressed on, "Think carefully. Is there any information you haven't shared with me? For example, did your mother have any enemies? Or any romantic issues? What about her relationship with Ke Wei Qiang? Could he be seeking revenge on your mother?"
Jin Zi Meng was reminded of something crucial. "Tong Le Jie! My mom mentioned wanting to meet you. The reason she wanted to see you was to discuss something related to Ke Wei Qiang and Ke Wenjie! But at that time, she didn't let me tell you anything specific."
"Calm down," Tong Le reassured her. "Think hard. Have you mentioned this to anyone else? Or has your mother discussed it with anyone?"
Jin Zi Meng recalled a brief encounter with Ke Wenjie during a meeting at the Zong Group, but it had only been a few casual exchanges.
Just as Jin Zi Meng hesitated, Tong Le spoke up again. "I'm starting to suspect that Ke Wenjie might have harmed your mother. Since your mother wanted to meet me to talk about Ke Wenjie and Ke Wei Qiang's dealings, it suggests she might have evidence that could threaten Ke Wenjie. Given his meticulous nature, even if he hasn’t found any incriminating evidence or leads, he would likely be aware of something."
Tong Le stood up, ready to seek out Zong Zeyu.
Jin Zi Meng hurriedly said, "Tong Le Jie, are we going to report this to the police? But we've already filed a report, and there's been no news or progress."
Tong Le replied, "Words alone won't help us. How can the police assist you? In our current situation, we can only rely on ourselves. Ke Wenjie is someone who covers his tracks meticulously. It took me three months just to gather enough evidence against him before, and now he has new backing. So we can't pin our hopes on the police; we need to find some clues ourselves and then hand them over."
Jin Zi Meng felt anxious. "What should we do?"
"I'll first go find Zong Zeyu for help," Tong Le said. "We'll use our connections to track down your mother's whereabouts. If your mother is indeed in Ke Wenjie's hands, things might get more complicated."
Feeling downcast, Jin Zi Meng listened as Tong Le reassured her, "I will help you with this. You need to keep your spirits up and focus on your acting. I'll inform you as soon as I have any news."
Jin Zi Meng felt slightly comforted; although her mother was missing, having Tong Le's support gave her confidence that there was still hope.
Taking a deep breath, she replied, "Okay, I trust you, Tong Le Jie."
At that moment, Zong Zeyu and Zong Jin walked out of the conference room one after the other after finishing their overtime work. The two tall men stood before Tong Le.
Noticing Zong Zeyu's weary expression and Zong Jin's distracted demeanor, Tong Le thought about how each of these men had their own troubles—one eager to get married but unable to do so, while the other was desperate for a relationship but also facing difficulties.
"How about we grab some hot pot downstairs?" Tong Le suggested.
Zong Zeyu and Zong Jin nodded in agreement.
Turning back to Jin Zi Meng, Tong Le said, "Come join us; it's a good opportunity to talk about your mother."
Jin Zi Meng glanced at the time on her phone and hesitated. "My friend is waiting for me downstairs; they should be here by now."
Curious, Tong Le asked, "A male friend?"
Jin Zi Meng smiled apologetically and said, "Yes, it's Winston from Wan Jia, whom I met at the group meeting."
As soon as Tong Le heard the name Winston, his interest was piqued. After all, Winston was the cousin of Wan Zhang, who was married to Hua Rongxiao!
Tong Le suggested, "Let's invite him along. I'll treat."
Jin Zi Meng thought for a moment, nodded, and agreed.
The four of them went downstairs together. Just then, Winston was standing at the bottom of the stairs outside the lobby, holding a bouquet of flowers in his arms, his face slightly flushed as if he were in love.
Tong Le was about to step forward to greet him when suddenly something fell from above the rooftop. It seemed like a massive object, a dark shadow plummeting down towards the ground.
Tong Le nearly walked out of the lobby when Zong Zeyu, who was following behind him, looked up through the glass ceiling and saw something descending rapidly. He grabbed Tong Le's arm to prevent him from stepping outside.
In the next moment, that enormous object crashed right onto Winston. There was a thunderous sound as Winston fell to the ground, blood spraying out as the flowers in his arms scattered everywhere.
The massive object that had fallen wasn't debris or construction waste; it was a living person. That person was Jin Feng.
