Sofia: "Then should I have him contact you?"
Cao Kun grunted "Mmm" and hung up the phone.
A few minutes later, an unknown number called.
"Excuse me, are you Master Cao Kun?"
On the phone came a hoarse, middle-aged man's voice, filled with undisguised weariness.
Cao Kun: "I am Cao Kun."
“Great, Master Cao Kun, you can call me Lawrence.”
The other person introduced themselves: "My daughter has been missing for a week, and I can't find her anywhere."
Master Cao Kun, I've heard that you are a very skilled exorcist, and also very adept at finding people.
Could you please help me find her?
Cao Kun: "I charge very high fees."
Lawrence: "You can name a price."
Cao Kun: "One million US dollars, that's the price for finding the person. If there are other dangers after finding them, the price will be calculated separately."
Lawrence: "It is indeed expensive, deal."
Cao Kun: "You can tell me your home address now."
After putting down his phone, Cao Kun walked back to Diesel and the others, and said to Lin Yibin, "I suddenly have something to take care of, you guys continue."
Lin Yibin: "Do you need any help?"
"No need." Cao Kun waved his hand behind him and quickly left.
Watching Cao Kun's retreating figure, the group continued reading the script together.
No one objected to Cao Kun's departure.
Diesel now knows that Cao Kun is not only a boss in that sense, but a real boss.
This movie was invested in by Cao Kun.
After learning the truth, Diesel felt immense regret.
But at the same time, I also feel that I am somewhat lucky.
Working under such a powerful figure seems to offer a good chance of advancement.
More than 40 minutes later, Cao Kun's pickup truck stopped in the garage of a villa.
In the luxuriously decorated living room, Cao Kun saw Lawrence, whom he had spoken to before.
This is a middle-aged white man, who looks to be in his 50s, with half-gray hair but not bald.
Next to him sat a woman in her thirties who looked quite charming.
This is probably not his first wife.
But that's not surprising.
How many men, after becoming successful, will not get a divorce?
"Master Cao Kun, you've finally arrived."
Lawrence came over to shake hands with Cao Kun and introduced his wife, Ellen.
Allen looked anxious: "Master Cao Kun, please help us find Linda. It's been so long, we're worried something might have happened to her."
"Don't talk nonsense," Lawrence quickly said. "Linda will definitely be alright."
In movies and TV dramas, this kind of plot usually involves a stepmother.
Stepmothers often appear harmless on the surface, but secretly they may murder and dismember their daughters.
But that's reality, and Cao Kun wouldn't make such a hasty conclusion.
Let the facts speak for themselves.
Cao Kun: "Are the things I asked for ready?"
"Ready."
Lawrence quickly handed over a photograph and a necklace.
The photo shows a young brown-haired girl in her early twenties. She is fairly good-looking, but her figure is thin and gaunt.
Cao Kun checked it and nodded, "It's usable."
Lawrence immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Cao Kun flicked his hand, and a small wooden figure appeared in his hand.
He placed the photo on the wooden figurine, and the photo magically stuck to the figurine.
Then, Cao Kun wrapped the necklace around the neck of the wooden figurine.
The next moment, Cao Kun made a hand seal: "Soul-stabilizing and spirit-seizing, heed my command! Pursue!"
In an instant, the wooden figure seemed to come alive, and began to move its legs, trying to break free.
Cao Kun turned his gaze to the Lawrence couple: "You can call the police now, and then follow our car to rescue your daughter."
The two then realized what had happened, quickly averting their shocked gazes from the little figure and asking, "Is Linda alright?"
Cao Kun: "At least he's not dead, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to catch her."
Lawrence was overjoyed and quickly said, "I'll make the call right away."
Before long, a line of five cars drove in the direction indicated by the wooden figure.
A black Mercedes was driving in the lead car, with Cao Kun sitting in the passenger seat, holding the little wooden figure in his hands.
The little wooden figure kept taking steps, and occasionally it would turn at intersections.
However, it was bound by a force and could only move within Cao Kun's grasp, unable to break free.
Lawrence, who was driving himself, was full of amazement. If Cao Kun hadn't reminded him, he would have almost caused several car accidents.
But the more miraculous the power, the happier he became.
This means that his daughter can be saved.
Behind them, four police cars followed closely, turning their direction as the Mercedes changed course.
The reason they drove straight to the scene in a police car was because it didn't seem like a kidnapping.
If it was a kidnapping, it's been a week and the kidnappers haven't even made a phone call.
This is illogical.
This is more like the victim being murdered and then having her body dumped.
Previously, there were many similar news reports where, by the time the bodies were found, only corpses remained.
That's why Lawrence was so happy when Cao Kun told him that his daughter was still alive.
The car drove for more than six hours before arriving at a small town.
The car stopped in front of an old American-style house.
This house is at least a hundred years old, and it is full of traces of time.
Lawrence looked at Cao Kun and asked, "Is this the place?"
The wooden figure in Cao Kun's hand was still walking, and the direction it was walking was the house in front of it.
Cao Kun clasped his hands together, grasped the wooden figure, and confirmed, "This is it."
Lawrence immediately got out of the car and said to the dozen or so police officers behind him, "This is it."
Several police officers approached, looked Cao Kun up and down curiously, and asked Lawrence, "Are you sure? If not, we'll be prosecuted."
Lawrence chose to believe Cao Kun: "I'm sure."
The lead policeman waved his hand, and a dozen or so policemen began to put on bulletproof vests.
Then, some pulled out their guns, while others took out police shotguns from the trunk.
"Walk!"
A dozen or so police officers from country M violently stormed into the house.
Cao Kun showed no intention of going in, or even getting out of the car.
He lowered the backrest, calmly reclined in the chair, and looked towards the house.
Lawrence looked nervous.
He tried to rush in, but was refused by the police.
Following him would only cause trouble, and the police in the US would definitely not allow it.
Lawrence kept pacing back and forth in small increments.
If it's in the suburbs, it's very likely that an accident happened and they're trapped somewhere.
But in this house, Lawrence suddenly thought of a lot of bad news.
For example, some perverted men imprison many girls in basements for their own gratification.
There are many news stories and movies like this.
Lawrence didn't want to think about it, but he couldn't control himself; instead, he kept thinking about more related things.
"Master Cao Kun, do you think Linda will be alright?"
Finally, Lawrence couldn't help but ask Cao Kun.
Without turning his head, Cao Kun said, "I don't know. All I can confirm is that she's here and alive. I don't know anything else."
Lawrence's face darkened, and he continued pacing there.
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out from inside the house; the police had opened fire.
Cao Kun didn't pay attention at first, but the next moment, he sat up straight.
