After leaving the airport, Lu Yuan got directly into the car driven by Mu Ruxing.
"How's the investigation into the Wu family's case going?"
"The situation is even stranger than I imagined. This is all the information and clues we have gathered so far. Young Master Lu, please take a look."
As he spoke.
Mu Ruxing handed the prepared materials to Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan took the paper and only read two pages before his brows furrowed.
"So many members of the Wu family have disappeared, and the surrounding residents haven't heard a single sound?"
“The Wu family’s villas are located in a luxury detached villa area. In order to protect the privacy of each resident, the villas are far apart, so it is understandable that other residents did not hear the noise.”
After hearing Mu Ruxing's explanation, Lu Yuan's doubts did not disappear.
During the fight against the beast tide, he had witnessed Wu Qiushan at full strength, who was no less formidable than Xu Lanshan.
The fact that the other party was able to take Wu Qiushan away so quietly means that they either knew Wu Qiushan's weakness or that their strength far surpassed Wu Qiushan's.
But whatever the reason, it is very disadvantageous for them.
"Besides these, did you find any other information?"
Lu Yuan frowned.
The known information was still too little; he couldn't deduce the general outline of the matter, nor could he extract even a single clue.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, it's been too short since the incident, so this is all the information we can find for now. However, we should be able to get some new information tonight."
Lu Yuan nodded upon hearing this.
"We need to find out more information as soon as possible. I'm worried that if we continue to delay, the lives of the Wu father and son could be in danger."
"Do you think the Wu father and son are still alive?"
Mu Ruxing looked surprised.
As things stand, no one can be sure whether the Wu family father and son are still alive, but Lu Yuan's tone makes it sound as if he's certain they're not dead.
"If the other party wants to kill the Wu family father and son, then just kill them directly. There is no need to go to great lengths to disguise themselves."
"Therefore, I believe there is a high probability that the Wu father and son are still alive."
After hearing Lu Yuan's explanation, Mu Ruxing suddenly understood, but before he could be happy, he heard Lu Yuan speak next.
“But we found out too late. It may have been a long time since the Wu family father and son disappeared. We don’t know what the situation is now, so I need more information.”
Upon hearing this...
Mu Ruxing's expression turned serious.
"I understand. I'll urge them to act faster when I get back."
"Hurry up."
Lu Yuan nodded, then leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes to rest, and slowly tapped his fingers on his knees.
Actually, compared to the opponent's superior strength, which allowed them to take away the Wu family father and son silently, he was more inclined to believe that Wu Qiushan's weakness was in the opponent's hands.
After all, the Wu family father and son were not ordinary people without the power to resist. It would be extremely difficult for the other party to take them away without alerting anyone.
Even the lowest level required is a Beast Taming God or higher.
But it's at the level of a god...
I'm afraid there aren't many beast tamers in the entire Yandu who can reach the Illusion God level, right?
If that's the case, then the area where the Wu family was robbed is too small; it would be easy to identify who did it without any investigation.
Surely the other party isn't that brainless?
If that's the case, then it means that the other party is most likely an outside force from Yandu.
But why would they target the Wu family?
Lu Yuan rubbed his temples, feeling a slight headache.
For some reason, he felt uneasy, as if something terrible was about to happen.
...
It was nearly night when we returned to the Divine Beast Pavilion.
Zheng Meng had already seen all the customers off and cleaned the store, preparing to leave for the day, when she saw Lu Yuan and Mu Ruxing walking in from outside. She immediately went to greet them.
"Manager, you're back!"
Zheng Meng's eyes lit up slightly, and she couldn't hide her joy on her face, but then her face fell again.
"Manager, Mingxu's home..."
Although Wu's Company did its best to suppress the disappearance of Wu Mingxu and his son in order to maintain its shares, Zheng Meng kept track of Wu Mingxu's whereabouts and naturally knew that everyone in the Wu family had mysteriously disappeared.
"I'll figure out how to handle this. Don't get involved. Just pretend you know nothing," Lu Yuan said calmly.
The Wu family's situation is shrouded in mystery, and he still doesn't know which force is behind it, so he doesn't want Zheng Meng to be involved.
"I see."
Although Zheng Meng did not know the reason for Lu Yuan's decision, she still nodded.
"In that case, leave everything in the store to me! Manager and Brother Mu, you two just focus on investigating Mingxu's family!"
"Then it's up to you."
Lu Yuan smiled and nodded, then gave Mu Ruxing a look.
The latter immediately understood and went out, while Lu Yuan returned to his room to pack his luggage and then prepared to take a nap.
He hadn't rested for a day and a night in order to catch the fastest flight back to Yandu.
He needed to get some sleep before dealing with the Wu family's affairs.
...
As night fell, Mu Ruxing returned from outside and knocked on Lu Yuan's door.
"Young Master Lu."
"Come in."
After receiving a response, Mu Ruxing pushed open the door and entered, and then saw Lu Yuan lying on the bed as if he had just woken up.
"Is there any new information regarding the Wu family?"
Before Mu Ruxing could think it over, Lu Yuan spoke first and asked.
“Yes.” Mu Ruxing handed the information she had just received to Lu Yuan. “The Wu family father and son were probably taken away right after the beast tide ended.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan immediately sat up straight and carefully examined the documents in his hand.
When the beast tide appeared in Yandu, Wu Mingxu and Wu Qiushan rushed home one after the other, while the servants and housekeepers in the house were all sent home to avoid the beast tide.
Until the beast tide ended.
The Wu family then closed their doors to visitors, and no one entered or left the Wu family residence again, let alone met with the Wu father and son.
In addition, all the furniture in the Wu family mansion was covered in dust, and even the vegetables and fruits in the refrigerator were almost rotten and no one had taken care of them.
Based on these various factors, it can be determined that...
The Wu father and son were probably taken away during the beast tide.
“It’s very likely that the other party took advantage of everyone’s attention being drawn to the beast tide to sneak away Wu Qiushan and Wu Mingxu,” Mu Ruxing explained from the side. “I have already sent people to find eyewitnesses who saw what happened.”
Lu Yuan nodded.
"Continue searching along this timeline, and also send more people to search the vicinity of Yandu, as the other party may not have left the area around Yandu yet."
"yes!"
After Mu Ruxing left, Lu Yuan's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly.
He stood by the window for a moment, thought for a while, then pulled out a phone number and dialed it.
