Chapter 123 Everything was Zhu Jin's plan
After giving the order, Madam Su pondered for a moment and then took out her phone.
Her finger slid across the screen, dialing the number she thought she would never contact again.
The phone rang for a long time before it was answered.
"Hello?"
Zhu Jin's voice came through the receiver, still chillingly calm.
"Grandma Su? Is there anything I can help you with so late?"
Zhao Mobai immediately looked up and stared intently at his phone, never expecting Zhu Jin to remain so calm and indifferent!
Suppressing her anger, Madam Su asked in as calm a tone as possible, "Zhu Jin, is Miaomiao with you?"
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by Zhu Jin's slightly puzzled voice.
"No, after the drinking party tonight, she said she had a bit too much to drink and wanted to be alone, so she took a designated driver. What? She hasn't gone home yet?"
His tone was natural, as if he were truly just an uninformed outsider.
"You're lying!"
Zhao Mobai could no longer hold back. He snatched the phone and yelled into the microphone, "Zhu Jin! Where did you hide Shuang Miao? What the hell are you trying to do?!"
He roared uncontrollably, but Zhu Jin's voice remained calm, tinged with a hint of mockery.
"Zhao Mobai, you can't find your fiancée, so you come to ask me?"
"I already said she left in a designated driver's car. As for where she went..."
Zhu Jin paused, his tone turning cold and provocative.
"If you're so capable, go find it yourself."
After saying that, he hung up the phone without waiting for Zhao Mobai to react.
"Hey! Zhu Jin!"
Zhao Mobai gripped his phone, and seeing that the call had ended, he felt a headache coming on from anger.
"I'm going to Zhu Jin's house!"
After saying that, he ignored Madam Su's reaction and rushed out immediately.
Zhu Jin's villa was pitch black and completely silent.
Zhao Mobai rang the doorbell and banged on the door, but no one answered.
Startled, the neighbor poked his head out and said impatiently, "Mr. Zhu seems to have left this afternoon and hasn't come back!"
The last hope was also dashed.
Zhao Mobai stood in front of the tightly closed villa gate, the cool night breeze blowing through his heart, filling him with despair and coldness.
He slammed his fist into the cold iron door, and his hand instantly swelled up.
Zhao Mobai felt no pain whatsoever.
He returned to the Su family's old house.
When Madam Su heard that Zhu Jin was missing, she realized that something terrible had happened.
"Call the police! Call the police immediately!"
She turned around and snapped at the Su family's butler, "Contact the police immediately!"
At the same time, Zhou Wu, having received the news, also rushed over.
Looking at the chaotic scene, her face turned pale instantly, and her body swayed uncontrollably. Fortunately, she managed to grab the door frame next to her to avoid falling.
A thought I dared not delve into instantly surfaced in my mind.
That island.
So... so Zhu Jin didn't buy that island for himself at all.
That was the cage he bought for Shen Shuangmiao; he was going to take her away!
"I... I think I know what happened..."
Zhou Wu's voice trembled violently as she voiced her guess.
"Zhu Jin bought the island not to leave alone, but to take Shen Shuangmiao with him! That island is there to hide her, so no one can find her!"
Zhao Mobai's last shred of hope vanished completely.
"Bastard! Madman!!"
Zhao Mobai was furious.
He immediately used all the connections he had and contacted his network of contacts.
Zhu Jin must have left with Shen Shuangmiao by helicopter.
He had to find someone who could access the helicopter's flight records.
However, Zhao Mobai did not expect that those people who were once useful would turn their backs on him one after another.
"Mr. Zhao, I'm sorry, we are not authorized to disclose this information...?"
“Young Master Zhao, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, it’s just that there are strict orders from above…”
"Mo Bai, you can't afford to mess with this, just forget about it..."
Those friends who usually called him brother were now either vague or outright refusing, their tone even tinged with sarcasm and pity.
They seemed to be implying that Zhao Mobai was no longer the powerful and influential CEO of the Zhao Group he once was.
His opponent was Zhu Jin, whose methods were extraordinary; investigating further would only be presumptuous.
Zhao Mobai stood frozen in place, holding the phone that had been hung up on again.
He seems to have lost.
Faced with true power, he was utterly defeated and couldn't even protect his soon-to-be wife.
Seeing this, Madam Su made a quick decision and comforted him, "Mo Bai, don't be too desperate or anxious about this matter. I have connections to help investigate. Don't worry, things will eventually come to a conclusion. Zhu Jin can't just leave with Shen Shuangmiao and never come back."
Zhao Mobai slowly exhaled, trying his best to calm down.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay. I understand. Then I'll wait a little longer. If I can't find her, I'll find her no matter what it takes."
Zhou Wu also pursed her lips, her face pale, and slowly sat down on the sofa.
The chandelier shone on everyone's faces, and their expressions were all very unpleasant.
They discovered it too late this time; most of the people had already left.
They had no way to stop Zhu Jin. Perhaps Zhu Jin and Shen Shuangmiao were already escaping the country at an altitude of 10,000 meters.
But they didn't know what Shen Shuangmiao's attitude was.
Will she break down if she finds out she's been taken away?
Zhao Mobai kept clenching his teeth, not knowing what to do.
Just then, his phone rang. His eyes lit up, and he immediately picked it up.
Upon seeing that it was Fu Xuan calling, Zhao Mobai immediately answered the call.
On the other end of the phone, Fu Xuan sounded somewhat anxious.
“I have called Shen Shuangmiao many times and also visited Zhu Jin’s company. Zhu Jin’s company has appointed a vice president to help him manage the company’s affairs, and his father has also been sent abroad for medical treatment.”
"It seems that his absence these past few days is to make all the necessary arrangements for his funeral, preparing to take Shen Shuangmiao and fly away together. He had planned this all along."
Fu Xuan's tone was weary and powerless: "Can you think of another way to find them again?"
When Zhao Mobai and Fu Xuan called, he thought it was some exciting good news, but he didn't expect to hear this.
He closed his eyes weakly. "Okay, I understand. We'll discuss and handle this ourselves."
Zhao Mobai hung up the phone and slammed his fist on the coffee table, shattering it.
Zhou Wu stepped forward to block Old Madam Su, afraid of hurting her, and scolded, "What are you doing, Zhao? Everyone is in a hurry. Don't lose your temper and disturb the old lady!"
The old lady waved her hand, signaling them to stop arguing.
"Alright. Now we'll just wait for the results. Anyway, I should still have some connections to find out. Let's see if Zhu Jin will answer my call in the end. In any case, I've already used my relationship with his mother to reason with him and present the facts."
“If in the end he refuses to listen to me or reveal his true purpose, then there’s nothing any of us can do to him.”
The implication was that he and Shen Shuangmiao should be prepared to disappear completely.
