Chen Dong doesn't know who he is or where he came from. He has completely lost his memories of the first half of his life, and now the only people he can rely on are his mother and son.
Although the houses in this area are not deep in the mountains, they are very close to them. The women would often take Chen Dong up the mountain to hunt, pick wild vegetables, gather mushrooms, and sometimes chop firewood before cooking.
Life is stress-free and very pleasant.
Meanwhile, at Longteng Group, Annie, Lin Zhiyuan, and Zhou Huimin were all frantic with worry.
They sent out a large number of people to search for Chen Dong and his bodyguard team, but they found nothing.
“We’ve determined the area where they’ve been lying in ambush,” Lin Zhiyuan sighed, then continued, “There are quite a few clues that indicate the Freemasons arrived there before us and erased all traces of any outsiders.”
“I think they are not only afraid that we will find Chen Dong there, but also afraid that someone will know that one of their people was there.”
"After all, if the mastermind behind a murder is found out, the Freemasons' true colors will be exposed."
Zhou Huimin comforted herself by saying, "The Freemasons haven't taken any action against Longteng yet, which means even they can't be sure whether Chen Dong is dead or alive."
"If Chen Dong were in their hands, they would have already launched a counterattack against Longteng."
“You’re right.” Anne has sent out a lot of guards these past few days, but every time they bring back news that they can’t find the person.
"I think in a sense, the fact that no body was found is perhaps good news."
These words plunged everyone in the office into sadness.
The corpse.
Several days have passed, and they still haven't found Chen Dong's body, nor the bodies of the bodyguards, or the missing cars. The Freemasons' influence is truly immense.
If they wanted to erase a person's trace from this world, it would be too easy for them.
"Annie, you and Lin Zhiyuan will be in charge of the company's overall situation during this period. Just say that Chen Dong is on vacation at Huaxia Star. Under no circumstances should you reveal the fact that Chen Dong is missing to them."
"Now that Longteng is still expanding, if our competitors find out that Longteng's boss is in critical condition, they will definitely unite against us."
Lin Zhiyuan said with some difficulty, "It's fine for a day or two, but if it goes on for too long, the company's senior management probably won't take us seriously."
"It's not that I'm complaining, it's just that I feel like Annie and I don't have that much influence over those executives."
“I think the most important thing right now is to keep the company’s spirits up since the big boss is not here. It’s really a stretch for Annie and me to run the company.”
Lin Zhiyuan wasn't making excuses; rather, he had genuinely felt significant resistance when Annie was working with him on company matters over the past few days.
On the one hand, it was because the company's senior management did not trust them, and on the other hand, it was because both of them had limited abilities.
Vivian Chow's eyes darkened. "Then what should we do?"
She manages Huaxia Star, which is also an asset of Longteng Group. Besides, their company invested in several movies last year, and they are about to be released this year.
At this time, he couldn't abandon Huaxia Star and had to come to Longteng to take charge of the overall situation.
“We’re leaderless right now, we need to find someone who can keep things in check,” Lin Zhiyuan suggested.
“Isn’t Yulia from Russia managing Chen Dong’s business in that area?” Zhou Huimin asked.
"If she didn't have the ability, if Chen Dong didn't trust her, he probably wouldn't have let Yulia shoulder such a heavy responsibility alone."
Zhou Huimin, with her neck stiff, said to Annie, "Call her and tell Julia to come back."
Annie glanced at Lin Zhiyuan, and finally asked cautiously, "Shouldn't we tell her about Chen Dong's disappearance?"
“If we don’t tell her, how will she come back? If we don’t tell her, how will she believe us?” Zhou Huimin asked rhetorically.
A few days later, Yulia received a call from Anne in Russia and rushed back from abroad to help Anne stabilize the senior executives of Longteng Company.
After the situation in Longteng stabilized, Zhou Huimin and Lin Zhiyuan finally had time to settle accounts with the Freemasons.
With the support of the Angel Mercenary Group, they found the Freemasons' stronghold, a dark castle, where Zhou Huimin and Lin Zhiyuan finally met Memphis.
"Long time no see, beautiful girl." Memphis looked at Zhou Huimin.
This statement reminded Zhou Huimin of a psychological trauma she suffered a few years ago, when the Freemasons hired thugs to kidnap her.
Chen Dong spent a lot of money to hire a mercenary group to rescue her. Although she was rescued, Zhou Huimin still harbored resentment about what happened back then.
Some things can't be forgotten just like that.
“Mr. Memphis, Longteng has no grudge against you, so why do you target us time and time again?” Zhou Huimin asked through gritted teeth.
Memphis smiled, waved his hand, and signaled all the armed guards behind him to step aside.
Lin Zhiyuan also gave the Angel Mercenary Group a look, and they quickly put away their guns as well.
"How can you call business acrimonious? The business world is like a battlefield; it's a matter of life and death. Besides..."
Memphis looked at Lin Zhiyuan, then glanced at Zhou Huimin, and said sarcastically, "Didn't Longteng proudly say a while ago that you won this battle?"
“We Freemasons have suffered a crushing defeat, how dare you say that I am targeting you?”
