"To be honest, I really don't know where she went."
"How is that possible? She's been staying at South Side. The only time she left the hospital was on your birthday."
It seemed that Secretary Zeng had a tight grasp of Zeng Rou's whereabouts.
"But she's just a patient here. She's recuperating here. Her whereabouts are her private matters, and I have no right to interfere. I'm also looking for her and trying to contact her. I've even checked the video surveillance at South Side, but I haven't found anything. I think you should ask her bodyguards instead of me. They're her personal bodyguards, so they might know more than me."
Huo Mien wasn't frightened or incoherent just because the other party was Secretary Zeng.
On the contrary, her attitude was neither servile nor overbearing. She even sounded dissatisfied with Zeng Rou.
President Wu listened quietly. He was wronged to be caught here.
President Wu, who was about to retire, didn't care about many things.
He rarely went to the First Hospital. His immigration application had been approved.
He was waiting to hand over his work to Huo Mien and then go abroad to retire.
He didn't expect such a big thing to happen before he left.
President Wu didn't know Zeng Rou, but from the conversation between Huo Mien and Secretary Zeng, he learned that Secretary Zeng's daughter was recovering at South Side but was now missing.
President Wu panicked. If Secretary Zeng's daughter was really missing, it didn't matter how she went missing.
South Side must have something to do with it …
"Kid … I've heard that you have a sharp tongue. Not only are you not afraid of me, but you even seem to blame me."
"Secretary, you're overthinking. I didn't mean that. I'm just stating the facts. Zeng Rou is my friend. Her injuries have healed a long time ago. I don't know why she's still here. Maybe she has something she wants to do but hasn't finished. Secretary, you can investigate further."
Huo Mien wasn't sure if Secretary Zeng knew that his daughter had been eavesdropping on her.
So, he was just testing the waters.
Sure enough, Secretary Zeng's expression was complicated.
"Okay. Don't be nervous. I called you here to find out more about the situation."
"Secretary, if your daughter is really missing, it's a big deal. I suggest you ask the local police to do a large-scale search."
President Wu said this. It was right for Secretary Zeng to ask the police for help, but he didn't dare to do it.
"I still don't know what's going on with Rourou. I don't know if she ran out naughtily or was kidnapped, so I don't dare to act rashly. If she was really kidnapped and asked the police to find her, it would undoubtedly alert the enemy. I'll think about it again."
Secretary Zeng raised his hand and massaged his temples.
Indeed, as a father, it was understandable how he felt when his child was lost.
Huo Mian couldn't bear to see him like this and said, "Secretary, I suggest that we search secretly, even if we don't do it on a large scale. Zeng Rou is an adult and very smart. The person who kidnapped her can't be an ordinary person. I don't know if they have political motives. If the kidnappers know who you are and come for you, we'll be in big trouble."
Hearing Huo Mien's words, Secretary Zeng's brows furrowed.
"I know. You can go back now."
Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of them, Secretary Zeng waved his hand and had someone escort them out.
On their way back, President Wu didn't dare to ask more questions, and Huo Mien didn't say anything, either.
But Huo Mien had a feeling that Zeng Rou's disappearance wasn't that simple since Secretary Zeng had come to look for his daughter.
What kind of force was behind her? And … did Yan really have something to do with this?
Lu Yan had kidnapped someone as easily as stepping on an ant. But the problem was that Huo Mien didn't believe that Yan had kidnapped someone under his watch without telling him.
– At this moment –
On a shabby fishing boat, Zeng Rou was put in a sack with only her head showing. She was unconscious.
"Wake her up."
