Guo Rugui sneered as he helped the unconscious Zhu Ping up from his seat.

He half-dragged, half-carried, trying to make it seem like they were just ordinary friends who had gotten drunk.

"Waiter, the bill, please!"

Guo Rugui shouted, took out a wad of banknotes from his wallet, and slammed them on the table without even looking at them.

"Keep the change, please!"

He had no time to settle accounts; he just wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible.

Outside Jufulou is a small parking lot, surrounded by small shops and residential buildings, bustling with people coming and going.

This kind of place is perfect for taking advantage of a chaotic situation.

Because of the mixed crowd and limited surveillance, even if someone saw Guo Rugui helping the "drunk" Zhu Ping, they wouldn't think much of it.

This is why Guo Rugui chose to make his move here.

He carefully avoided the crowd and shoved Zhu Ping into the back seat of his black Audi.

The car started and slowly drove away from the parking lot, merging into the traffic.

As Guo Rugui drove, he would occasionally check on Zhu Ping through the rearview mirror.

Seeing that Zhu Ping had no reaction, a smug smile reappeared on his lips.

"Hmph, you think you can fight me? You're still a long way off!"

He muttered to himself, his tone full of disdain.

Meanwhile, inside the president's office at the headquarters of Fengling Group.

Qin Yang was sitting at his large desk, dealing with a mountain of documents.

His brows were slightly furrowed, his expression focused, and he exuded the authority of a superior.

Suddenly, the phone on the table vibrated.

Qin Yang picked it up and saw that it was a missed call from Zhu Ping.

A hint of doubt flashed through his mind.

Zhu Ping usually doesn't call him during work hours unless it's something urgent.

Without thinking twice, Qin Yang immediately called back.

"Beep...beep...beep..."

The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered.

An ominous premonition gradually rose in Qin Yang's heart.

He put down the documents in his hand and dialed Zhu Ping's number again.

Once again, no one answered the phone.

Qin Yang's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

He knew Zhu Ping; unless something serious had happened, he would never ignore the phone.

Could it be...?

Qin Yang dared not think any further.

He immediately opened WeChat and sent a message to Wu Zhong.

The message contained a photo of Zhu Ping.

"Wu Zhong, help me find out where this person is now."

Qin Yang's tone was hurried, revealing a sense of anxiety.

Wu Zhong is Qin Yang's capable assistant and one of his most trusted people.

Since the last incident, Wu Zhong's power has been expanding rapidly in secret, and he has become a force to be reckoned with.

In terms of intelligence gathering, they are incredibly efficient.

Qin Yang believed that Wu Zhong would definitely be able to help him find Zhu Ping.

After sending the message, Qin Yang lost all interest in his work.

He stood up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked out at the bustling city night view.

My heart was filled with anxiety.

Time passed second by second, each second feeling like an eternity.

Finally, Wu Zhong's message came back.

"President Qin, we've found it."

"The last place this person was seen was Jufulou."

"Moreover... I also found out that he was with Guo Rugui."

"Guo Rugui drove the car towards the outskirts of the city."

Wu Zhong's tone was somewhat solemn.

Qin Yang's pupils contracted sharply upon seeing the message.

"Guo Rugui!"

He gritted his teeth as he uttered the name, his eyes flashing with a cold glint.

He never imagined that this matter would be related to Guo Rugui.

Qin Yang's heart was filled with anger.

He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

Now is not the time to be angry; the most important thing is to find Zhu Ping and ensure his safety.

Without the slightest hesitation, Qin Yang immediately turned to Shangguan Wan, who was standing to the side, and said:

"Shangguan, I'm leaving the company's affairs to you."

"I have an urgent matter to attend to and need to go out."

Seeing Qin Yang's serious expression, Shangguan Wan knew that the matter was urgent.

She didn't ask any more questions, she just nodded.

"Okay, you can go without worry."

"I will handle the company's affairs."

Qin Yang nodded, picked up his coat, and strode out of the office.

His figure disappeared at the end of the corridor.

"Boom!"

Guo Rugui drove his black Audi at breakneck speed, leaving the bustling city and bumping along the rough dirt road into a desolate suburb.

Finally, the car stopped in front of a dilapidated abandoned factory.

The surrounding area was overgrown with weeds, with crumbling walls and a rusty iron gate half-closed, exuding a sinister and terrifying atmosphere.

Guo Rugui turned off the engine, got out of the car, went around to the back seat, and roughly dragged the unconscious Zhu Ping out of the car.

He hoisted Zhu Ping onto his shoulder like a chick and strode into the factory.

The factory interior was even more dilapidated, with scattered bricks, abandoned machines, and thick dust everywhere.

The air was filled with a pungent smell of mold and rust.

In the dim light, you can see an old man with a hunched back standing in an open space in the center of the factory.

The old man was dressed in a black robe, his hair was gray, his face was withered and covered with deep wrinkles, like a dried-up orange peel.

His eyes were murky and sinister, gleaming with a chilling light.

This is the Old Man of the Yin Snake.
