Luo Yu then went to the Gao family’s ancestral home to check with the renovation workers. One of the workers said that he had seen Gao Lin. It seemed that someone had asked Gao Lin out to discuss some business, apparently about selling a house nearby to him. Recently, many people came to look for Gao Lin to talk about selling their houses. These workers were already used to it, so it did not occur to them that it would be the last time they saw him.

Yao Nian also gathered all the information very quickly at his end. Luo Yu returned to the hotel with a pile of documents but he could not find any trace of Qiao Mei even after searching the whole place. Then, he saw a cleaner in Gao Lin’s room.

“Auntie, how did you get in?” Luo Yu asked curiously.

The cleaners would come round every day, but they could only enter the rooms if the guests agreed. Otherwise, the cleaners had no right to open the door and enter the room without permission.

“When I came, the door was wide open and the room was in a mess. I checked with the front desk and was told to come in and clean up. Our hotel has a rule that we can only skip cleaning a room for three days at most. It is already the fourth day for this room. If the boss finds out, my salary will be deducted. I hope you can understand,” the cleaner said.

“What did you say? The room was in a mess?” Luo Yu asked nervously.

“That’s right. There were clothes all over the ground and it was really very messy. Anyone who doesn’t know better will think that there’s been a thief! The guest in this room, Mr. Gao, is a very easy-going person. We’re all familiar with him, which is why I dare to come in and clean up,” the cleaner explained.

Before the cleaner finished speaking, Luo Yu had already run downstairs. When he turned the corner at the stairway, he suddenly stopped. Under the sunlight, he could see something shiny on the floor. There were also broken fragments from a jade bangle embedded in the crack in the floor.

Luo Yu knew very well that this was Qiao Mei’s bangle. Recently, Qiao Mei had been wearing a bangle of this color. She would have to use a lot of strength to embed the fragments into the floor, which was enough to tell him that the situation was very critical at that time.

“Front desk! Have you seen Madam Qiao Mei from room V403!” Luo Yu asked in a panic.

The front desk staff stammered and did not dare to speak. Luo Yu immediately grabbed the staff member’s hand and questioned, “Speak up! Did you see her! Do you know where she went!”

“Let go now! Otherwise, I’m going to call the police!” The service staff rushed over to the front desk staff and yelled at Luo Yu.

Luo Yu realized that he had lost his composure. He quickly let go of the front desk staff’s hand and said, “I’m sorry, I’m really feeling too anxious. Please tell me, have you seen her?”

The service staff and the front desk staff did not speak and only nodded subtly. Luo Yu knew that they were afraid of retaliation, so he did not continue asking. He quickly picked up the phone at the front desk and called Xia Wen.

“Hello? Who is this?” Xia Wen asked.

“Big Brother! Bad news! Qiao Mei has been kidnapped!” Luo Yu shouted agitatedly.

Xia Wen almost fainted. He quickly made a call to the criminal police department in Hu City and asked them to send out a team immediately to search for Qiao Mei.

Qiao Mei was the third daughter-in-law of the Xia family’s eldest son. Xia Zhe was now at the peak of his career and might even eventually surpass Xia Jun’s achievements. Now that Xia Zhe’s wife had been kidnapped, there was every reason to mobilize the police force. At the same time, Xia Wen immediately set off for Hu City to help with the search.

Xia Wen had a phone call with Xia Zhe some time ago. The diplomatic relationship between their country and Country M was quite good and the citizens of both countries were traveling quite often between the two countries. Xia Zhe’s business in Country M was so successful that it was getting a little too eye-catching. If Xia Zhe bumped into someone he knew from his real life, he would be caught in a very dangerous situation. After Xia Mao had a serious discussion with the superiors, they decided to transfer Xia Zhe back.

The business there would be handed over to Gao Ming. Xia Zhe’s business mainly dealt with financial investment and returns. It was not a very difficult business to understand. Gao Ming studied finance and management in university and should be able to take over after getting some hands-on experience over the next month or two.

“Xia Zhe, I need to tell you something ” Xia Wen said after taking a deep breath.

“What is it?” Xia Zhe asked.

“Qiao Mei she has gone missing in Hu City ” Xia Wen said.

After a long silence, Xia Zhe said, “Who’s with her in Hu City? Does anyone have any more information?”

“There’s only Luo Yu with her there. I’ve already sent people to investigate. Yao Nian is also doing his best to search for clues about where Qiao Mei has gone. You you should hurry back,” Xia Wen said.

“I’ll go straight to Hu City now.” Xia Zhe hung up after saying that.
