Chapter 451 Tang Shuo's Disappearance

After hearing Su Ran's words, Jiang Tiantong also noticed something unusual. She frowned and said, "It's the same here. He called me on the day of the wedding and hasn't contacted me since."

"I asked Louise, and she has never seen Tang Shuo." Su Ran said, "She was sent here by Li Yihe."

Su Ran suddenly seemed to remember something and continued, "Mr. Wu from Shengtang Real Estate contacted me yesterday. The completion ceremony for Shengtang Real Estate's Zhujiang project will be held in three days, but he hasn't been able to contact Tang Shuo yet."

“…”

Generally speaking, even if Tang Shuo was delayed by something, he would at least call to report that he was safe. However, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

Having said that, the two women fell silent at the same time. They had both realized the seriousness of the matter.

"It shouldn't be a problem. I'll send someone to contact him." Jiang Tiantong glanced at Su Ran and said, "Don't tell anyone about this for now."

"Yes." Su Ran nodded and said, "Thank you for your help."

"You should get some rest first." Jiang Tiantong said as she turned and walked out of the room. After calling Du Bing upstairs, she directly instructed, "Go and investigate the matter between the Lawrence family and Tang Shuo, as well as Tang Shuo's recent movements. Then bring me information on the other women."

Du Bing nodded. Although Jiang Tiantong didn't say who the other women were, Du Bing knew what she was referring to.

"Does it include just having an ambiguous relationship with someone?" Du Bing asked.

"Yeah." Jiang Tiantong nodded.

Du Bing immediately agreed and then walked out.

After giving the order, Jiang Tiantong's face was filled with worry. She stood quietly in front of the window of the villa, looking through the glass at the artificial lake in the distance, which was already covered with a thin layer of ice.

…

The person who was most happy about Louise's arrival was undoubtedly Xiao Chuxia. Yahua had just died.

Seeing the group of people sitting around the table, Xiao Chuxia suddenly said, "It would be great if Dad and Aunt Fang were here, so our whole family could be together."

“…”

Xiao Chuxia's words made Fang Shirou and Du Bing, who were already worried, freeze. After they exchanged glances, Su Ran stepped in to smooth things over. "Aunt Fang will be back tomorrow, and your father will come to see you in a few days."

"Mom, can we stay here tonight?" Xiao Chuxia nodded excitedly. Then she turned to Louise and said, "I haven't seen Aunt Fang for several days. And tomorrow I don't have to go to school."

Louise looked at Su Ran and said hesitantly, "It's not a big deal!"

"It's okay." Su Ran replied with a smile.

…………

After dinner, Jiang Tiantong did not return to Fengshan, but stayed for a while.

Louise seemed to have noticed something. After coaxing little Chuxia to sleep, she came back downstairs.

Su Ran, who was sitting on the sofa, pointed to the seat next to him. Smiling, he said to Louise, "Come and sit down."

Louise nodded in agreement and sat down on the sofa as she was told.

"There's something I'm still unsure about, but I still need to tell you." Jiang Tiantong seemed completely clueless about being polite and said directly, "Tang Shuo is missing."

"ah!"

Louise exclaimed and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong?"

"A few days ago, on the eve of your wedding to Karl," Jiang Tiantong said seriously, "after he went to the British Empire, we lost contact with him. We haven't been able to contact him until now."

"What should we do now?" Louise asked hurriedly.

"I need you to tell me the truth about what you know." Jiang Tiantong looked at Louise and said.

Du Bing's investigation results are out. Tang Shuo's credit card and mobile phone number have not been used for a few days, and the affairs of the Lawrence family cannot be investigated in a short time, so now her investigation can only be focused on Louise.

Su Ran smiled at Louise and said, "It doesn't matter. Just tell us what you know."

Louise nodded and recounted the entire story of how she received the call from Tang Shuo and what happened between Monkey and Li Yihe afterwards.

"Are you saying that Li Yihe couldn't contact him either?" Su Ran asked again.

"Yes," Louise replied.

Jiang Tiantong and Su Ran looked at each other. When Jiang Tiantong was about to ask again, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Aunt Wu, who was sitting on the side, immediately stood up, walked forward and opened the door.

"Excuse me, does Su Ran live here?" A man with a broken arm asked as he stood at the door. Behind the man stood a strong man whom Aunt Wu had met once before.

Aunt Wu clearly remembered that when Tang Shuo went to Su Ran and Zhao Chenru's wedding, it was he who finally stopped the Zhao family. She glanced at the two of them, then asked the man with the broken arm, "Who are you?"

"My name is Monkey." The monkey replied with his head down.

Aunt Wu then told the monkey's name to Su Ran in the living room. After hearing the name "Monkey", Su Ran immediately glanced at Jiang Tiantong's face beside him.

According to their analysis just now, Tang Shuo had been with this person named Monkey before he lost contact. The other party could be said to be their only clue to find Tang Shuo now.

Jiang Tiantong just wanted to ask Louise for clues about the monkey, but she didn't expect that the other party would come to her before she even opened her mouth.

However, there was no expectation on her face, but rather a hint of foreboding.

"Aunt Wu, let him come in quickly." Su Ran said immediately.

Aunt Wu stepped aside and invited Monkey into the room, but the burly man standing at the door didn't move at all.

"Aren't you going in?" Aunt Wu looked at the strong man in confusion.

The strong man shook his head and said, "I won't go in."

Aunt Wu didn't force him. She nodded and followed Monkey inside. Only then did she notice that this man called Monkey not only had a broken arm, but also seemed to have injuries on his legs and body.

The monkey walked into the villa, looked at the people in the living room, and hesitated a few times, but for a moment he didn't know how to start.

After checking out Karl's manor, he immediately contacted Yu Haoran and returned to China. As soon as he got off the plane, he rushed here, ready to tell him about Tang Shuo's situation.

"Hurry up and sit down." Su Ran pointed to the sofa on the side and said to Aunt Wu, "Aunt Wu, please pour him a cup of tea."

Aunt Wu nodded and immediately poured a cup of tea for Monkey.

Monkey did not sit down as Su Ran said. He shook his head, took out the mobile phone he found in the manor's wine cellar and placed it on the coffee table in front of the sofa, then knelt down with a "dong".

"What's going on? Get up first!" The women in the room had already noticed that Monkey was injured when he came in. Seeing him like this, they immediately said to him in panic.

"The captain is dead!" The monkey said with his head down, very sadly.

In fact, almost everyone had guessed the arrival of the monkey, but everyone was still hoping for a lucky break.

Now that I have heard this news from the other party, I find it a little hard to accept for a moment.

"You get up first!"

Su Ran fought back tears and said to the monkey, "Tell me everything you know."

This incident had the greatest impact on Su Ran among the women. Now that she was pregnant with Tang Shuo's child, this news was like an earthquake in his heart.

Aunt Wu helped the monkey up from the ground and said to him, "Tell me first. That kid is usually more sinister than anyone else. He doesn't look like he'll die soon. There must be something wrong."

Although she had never treated Tang Shuo well, she had already accepted his identity in her heart. Although she knew that this Monkey would not lie about such a matter, she still chose to deny it immediately.

Jiang Tiantong, who was sitting on the side, did not say anything, but her face became a little gloomy, and Louise had already started sobbing.

Monkey took a deep breath and then recounted everything from the moment he received the call to what he saw in the manor.

"Is the man named Carl dead?" Su Ran asked.

"Um."

Monkey nodded and said, "On the day I picked up Louise, the news said that he was killed by his bodyguards."
