Chapter 1249

~7 min read 1,357 words

"Kidnapped?!" Elder He's expression twitched.

What he feared most was Su Shoude being kidnapped.

Thus, he couldn't help but mutter to himself: "I am, after all, one of the veteran experts of the Su family. This time, I came to Jin Ling personally to protect the Second Young Master. If I really let him be kidnapped silently right under my nose, where would I put this old face of mine? How would I answer to the Master when I return?"

Immediately, he thought of Steve, who was staying next door to Su Shoude. As if grabbing a life-saving straw, he blurted out: "Could the boss be chatting with that American next door?!"

The assistant, like him, was waiting for a miracle to happen. Seeing that the presidential suite was nowhere to be found, he was also panicked to death. Hearing this, his eyes lit up instantly, and he blurted out excitedly: "It's possible, it's really possible!"

After saying this, he immediately turned around and ran out.

The others hurriedly followed.

As a result, when they arrived at the room next door and pressed the doorbell, there was still no response from inside.

The group, who had still been holding onto a glimmer of hope, felt their hearts sink to the bottom instantly.

Everyone looked at Elder He, waiting for him to make a decision.

Elder He, who usually always wore a calm and inscrutable expression, had an expression at this moment just like the day his father died when he was eighteen.

With a dark face, he kicked open Steve's door and led the group to rush in again, only to find that Steve, like Su Shoude, had also evaporated into thin air...

Elder He sniffed here and looked there like a dog, and touched around for a long time, but didn't find any valuable clues. He was even more panicked, to the point that by the time he finished touching, his hands couldn't stop trembling.

Finally, he sat on the ground with a thud and said with a deathly pale face: "Quick... quickly call the Master and report!"

A few minutes ago, Su Chengfeng had just lain down.

Originally, the things that happened in Jin Ling had made him unable to eat or sleep in peace.

Especially with Du Haiqing and Su Zhiyu missing, he had been worried that the secret would be exposed.

Moreover, he was indeed somewhat worried about his eldest granddaughter, Su Zhiyu; after all, she was someone he had doted on since she was small, and he truly loved her very much.

However, as the Su family gradually took control of public opinion, the worry in his heart lessened significantly all at once.

Although he was still somewhat worried about Su Zhiyu, he later thought about it carefully: Su Zhiyu and Du Haiqing got into the car together, had the car accident together, and went missing together. If he hoped for Du Haiqing to die, then Su Zhiyu surely couldn't escape death either.

If he hoped for Su Zhiyu to survive, then Du Haiqing would likely survive as well.

Therefore, he later hardened his heart and thought to himself: "The most worry-free result is for this mother and daughter to just die together. Otherwise, if only Zhiyu survives, then given her personality, she will definitely try every possible way to investigate the whole truth of this matter. By then, it might even turn into a feud with me. It's better to just end it like this, which also saves me from burying a landmine for myself..."

Having figured this out, he felt somewhat relieved.

Now he was just waiting for Su Shoude to provide feedback confirming the deaths of the mother and daughter as soon as possible.

Just at this moment, the butler knocked on the door to report: "Master, the Du family is here..."

"The Du family?" Su Chengfeng felt a headache, and asked: "Who all came?"

The butler hurriedly said: "Elder Du Zhenhua, he came with the eldest of the Du family, Du Haifeng."

Elder Su couldn't help but rub his temples, and sighed to himself: "Damn, how annoying. What is the Du family doing coming to find me? Are they here to hold me accountable? That shouldn't be right. Jin Ling isn't my territory, and there's no evidence proving that Du Haiqing was harmed by me. Why come to me to ask?"

"However, the Du family is my in-law after all, and they have deep connections in the upper echelons. I can't offend them openly. It seems I can only go and deal with them!"

Thinking of this, Elder Su said to the butler: "Arrange for them to sit in the living room for a moment, I'll be right there."

"Very well, Master!"

A few minutes later, Elder Su stepped into the living room.

Just as he arrived in the living room, he saw the Du father and son standing in the center of the room, their faces full of anger.

He immediately pretended to have an expression of extreme pain, walked up to them, and sobbed: "In-law... how are Haiqing and Zhiyu, that mother and daughter? Do you have any news???"

Du Zhenhua said coldly: "Su Chengfeng! I was the one who wanted to ask you! Does the matter of Haiqing and Zhiyu have anything to do with you?! You had better tell me the truth, otherwise, I, Du Zhenhua, will be at odds with you!"

"Me?!" Elder Su pointed at his own nose, and said with extreme heartache: "Haiqing is my daughter-in-law, and Zhiyu is my granddaughter. How could I possibly harm them?!"

After saying this, he immediately added: "I won't hide it from you, I have already sent Shoude to rush to Jin Ling to investigate and rescue them. Even if it means exhausting all our efforts, we must ensure the safety of the mother and daughter!"

Although Du Zhenhua was somewhat suspicious of Elder Su, he had no evidence after all.

And one thing that puzzled him was that he knew Elder Su doted on his granddaughter Su Zhiyu very much. If Du Haiqing had an accident on her own, they would think it was likely the work of Elder Su or Su Shoudao, who was far away in Australia.

However, precisely because Su Zhiyu also had an accident, they all felt that these two wouldn't plot to harm their own granddaughter or daughter.

Therefore, Du Zhenhua, who couldn't judge the situation clearly for the time being, asked coldly: "Did Su Shoude find any results after going to Jin Ling?"

"This..." Elder Su said with a regretful expression: "I haven't received any clear feedback yet. He only told me that he had people search all the hospitals in Jin Ling, but didn't find any trace of the mother and daughter."

As he spoke, Elder Su hurriedly said: "In-law, don't be anxious. How about I make a call now and ask Shoude if there's any latest news?"

Du Zhenhua nodded and said: "Good, then ask him!"

Just as they were speaking, the butler's cell phone suddenly rang. He hurriedly walked to a corner to answer it, then ran over and reported: "Master, it's a call from Elder He, saying he has something important to report to you!"

"Oh?" Elder Su hurriedly said: "Quick, give me the phone!"

The butler hurriedly handed the phone to him. After connecting, Elder Su immediately asked: "Elder He, did you find any important clues in Jin Ling?"

Elder He's voice trembled as he said: "Ma... Master... I... I'm sorry..."

"Sorry for what?" Elder Su sensed something was wrong, frowned and asked: "What exactly is the important matter? Speak quickly!"

Elder He choked up: "Second Young Master... the Second Young Master, he..."

Elder Su was frantic, and blurted out: "Don't stutter when you talk to me! What exactly happened to Shoude? Speak quickly!"

Elder He sighed heavily: "Alas! Master! The Second Young Master, he... he... he is missing!"

Elder Su felt a jolt through his whole body, and roared: "Missing?! What the hell are you saying?! A perfectly healthy person, right under your nose, goes missing just after arriving in Jin Ling?!"
