Murong Yuyan took out her phone with some annoyance and saw that it was Tan Lingshan calling.
"Hello, Lingshan, what's up?" Murong Yuyan answered the phone and asked.
"Yuyan, this is Aunt Zeng, Lingshan's mother. Lingshan is missing. Yuyan, could you please tell Mr. Liu that I need to speak with him urgently?" Zeng Xi's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.
Upon hearing Zeng Xi's words, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately took the phone from Murong Yuyan's hand and asked, "What happened? How come your daughter is missing?"
Zeng Xi said, "In the blink of an eye, Ling Shan disappeared. I don't know why. Mr. Liu, please, you must help me find Ling Shan. Please, Mr. Liu."
"Okay, we'll talk when I get here," Liu Xiaoyuan said, and then hung up the phone.
"Big star, I can't go shopping with you this afternoon, I have to go now," Liu Xiaoyuan said to Murong Yuyan.
"I want to go too!" Murong Yuyan said quickly, wanting to go to the Tan Group with them.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Why are you going to join in the fun? Just stay at the hotel. The Tan Group isn't safe right now. What am I supposed to do if something happens to you?"
Murong Yuyan looked at Liu Xiaoyuan and asked, "Liu Xiaoyuan, if you say that, does that mean I'm very important to you?"
Damn it, what time is it now? She still has the mind to ask this. Women really don't know what's important or urgent.
"Alright, that's all for now. I'm leaving now. Stay in the hotel and make the most of your time." Liu Xiaoyuan said as he walked out of his room.
On the way there, Liu Xiaoyuan wondered to himself who had kidnapped Tan Lingshan. Tan Lingshan must have been kidnapped, otherwise she wouldn't have disappeared without a trace.
Liu Xiaoyuan now suspects two people. One is Tan Jianmin, because he suffered a crushing defeat today and will definitely take all his anger out on Zeng Xi and her son.
Kidnapping Tan Lingshan would make Zeng Xi obediently listen to him.
Therefore, in Liu Xiaoyuan's view, the person who kidnapped Tan Lingshan was Tan Jianmin, and he was the most suspicious.
Of course, there's another possibility: the person who kidnapped Tan Lingshan might be after the Tan family's small cauldron. However, Liu Xiaoyuan felt this possibility was extremely slim. If they wanted the Tan family's small cauldron, they could simply go to Tan Lingshan's grandfather now.
Sitting in the car, Liu Xiaoyuan considered various possibilities, but without evidence, it was all just speculation.
Upon arriving at the Tan Group, Liu Xiaoyuan went straight to Zeng Xi's office, where Zeng Xi was sitting with a worried expression on her face.
Tan Lingshan is now everything to her. If anything were to happen to Tan Lingshan, she wouldn't want to live anymore.
"Mr. Liu, you've finally arrived! Mr. Liu, you must save Ling Shan!" Zeng Xi rushed to greet Liu Xiaoyuan as if he were her savior, speaking anxiously.
Seeing Zeng Xi's panicked expression, Liu Xiaoyuan quickly said, "President Zeng, please calm down. Tell me what happened. I don't know anything right now, so how can I save your daughter?"
Hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, Zeng Xi regained her composure slightly and said, "It's like this, I went to look for Ling Shan just now and found that no one was in her office, only her phone was left on the table. I thought Ling Shan had gone to the restroom, but I waited for more than twenty minutes and she didn't come back, so I suspected that something had happened to Ling Shan..."
Hearing Zeng Xi's words, Liu Xiaoyuan roughly understood that Zeng Xi had immediately arranged a position for Tan Lingshan upon taking office and even provided her with a separate office. It was in this separate office that Tan Lingshan disappeared.
“Then check the surveillance footage. Your Tan Group is so big, it’s simply impossible for you to take someone away without being monitored,” Liu Xiaoyuan said.
Zeng Xi said, "For some reason, all of the company's surveillance cameras have lost power, so we can't find anything."
Could it be such a coincidence? If something is too coincidental, then it's not normal. Therefore, Liu Xiaoyuan felt that there must be something fishy going on.
"Call the security guards who are in charge of the surveillance cameras. It's definitely not normal for the surveillance cameras to malfunction all at once," Liu Xiaoyuan suggested.
Zeng Xi said, "I fired all the security guards!"
"Damn it!" Upon hearing Zeng Xi's words, Liu Xiaoyuan really wanted to give her a good scolding. "This woman, can't you do something reliable?"
Security guards are all low-level people; they just follow orders. While what happened today was their fault, they weren't entirely wrong either. Even if they were, you could have just eliminated one or two leaders within the security team. Instead, you wiped out the entire security force. Isn't that clearly making an enemy of a whole group of people?
After hearing Zeng Xi's words, Liu Xiaoyuan had another suspect: the security guard might have been responsible.
Although security guards can find food anywhere, Zeng Xi killed all of them indiscriminately. These security guards must have harbored resentment, and if they were instigated by a few people with ulterior motives, they might really do anything.
Furthermore, all of the surveillance cameras in the Tan Group suddenly lost power. What could be the reason for this? Liu Xiaoyuan suspected it was intentional, because the surveillance cameras in the Tan Group all have their own power supply and should not normally experience power outages.
The fact that a power outage has occurred proves that it was most likely caused by human intervention.
It might have been done by the security guards, since they are the ones in charge of the surveillance system and are naturally the most familiar with it.
It would be easy for them to do something underhanded!
Once the surveillance cameras were destroyed, the security guards took Tan Lingshan out of the Tan Group, and then no one would know. So, this was a flawless plan.
Of course, as mentioned before, these are all Liu Xiaoyuan's speculations, without any evidence.
"Did you call the police?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked. If the security guard really did it, then calling the police would be the best solution.
Zeng Xi said, "We called the police, but they won't open a case until 24 hours have passed."
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Those are ordinary people. For your prestigious Tan Group, can't you even handle this little thing?"
Zeng Xi said, "The police have already investigated, but I'm afraid the person who kidnapped Ling Shan is not an ordinary person, so I asked Mr. Liu to come and help."
That's more like it. If the kidnappers of Tan Lingshan were indeed security guards, then the police should be able to find clues very quickly.
"Mr. Liu, please, you must save Lingshan. Lingshan is my life now. If anything happens to her, I won't live either," Zeng Xi said, tears streaming down her face.
Parents' hearts are always full of love and worry!
"Don't worry, I will do my best," Liu Xiaoyuan said.
