As soon as George entered the living room, he saw the maid slapping herself.
I couldn't help but take a second look.
The maid's body stiffened. Why was George looking at her like that?
Are we going to fire her?
"George, how's Jian Yu? What did the young master say? Will he fire me?"
George strode straight into Jian Yu's room.
The maid's heart sank. Did George's silence mean yes?
She had taught George almost everything in Jianyu's room.
Although George knew how to use it, just to be on the safe side, Fok Kai-zhen also arranged for someone with technical expertise to work with him.
Late at night, visibility is poor, and many clues are easily missed.
The rescue team brought two search and rescue dogs.
The blanket that Jian Yu had used to cover himself was also taken over.
After the search and rescue dog sniffed it, it started sniffing around everywhere.
Unfortunately, the weather turned against them; just as the search and rescue dogs were leaping and bounding through the woods, heavy snow began to fall.
The heavy snow added another layer of difficulty to the search and rescue efforts.
The slope was already steep, and the soil was wet and slippery. One of the rescuers slipped and fell. If it weren't for the dense trees behind him blocking his way, he would have definitely fallen.
This scene made the entire search and rescue team even more cautious.
Even the captain remained silent. At this time of day, the captain would usually remind everyone to be careful.
Today's task has an extremely high price offered by the other party; they could earn more from this one order than from forty or fifty others.
Therefore, he wanted the rescue to be successful more than anyone else.
The other team members thought the same thing.
The slope became steeper as they went down, and for safety reasons, the rescuers in front were tied with ropes.
The rope provided safety, but also restricted some movement.
At this moment, the search and rescue dog changed direction and disappeared into the woods on the other side.
The group of people were invigorated; this was good news.
Huo Qizhen noticed that the search and rescue team had changed direction and immediately took out his walkie-talkie to ask them questions.
Why are you going that way?
“Mr. Huo, there are several huge Chinese scholar trees in front of us. Their branches have been broken off by heavy objects. We found several footprints under the trees. The search and rescue dogs turned east after smelling this, which means that Jian Yu’s car was likely blocked by the Chinese scholar trees for a while. Before falling down, Jian Yu had already gotten out of the car.”
Huo Qizhen was visibly more agitated, and his tone was urgent, "Go find it quickly."
The entire search and rescue team headed east.
At that moment, the underwater search and rescue team finally arrived.
They brought specialized equipment and prepared to salvage it from the water.
Kenneth Fok left the scene to the others and walked eastward himself.
In order not to disturb the search and rescue team's work, Huo Qizhen did not inquire about the progress.
About thirty or forty minutes later, the voices of the search and rescue team came through the walkie-talkie.
"Excuse me, Mr. Huo, we walked about two hundred meters east and found a broken cell phone. The phone case had a Tom and Jerry cartoon design, and there was a wide scratch leading straight down into the abyss. However, the slope here is relatively gentle, and we also found a half-deep handprint in the soft scratch. Following this mark, the search and rescue dog led us to the edge of the abyss..."
Huo Qizhen slowly closed his eyes, concealing the moisture in them.
Li Bo's eyes also welled up with tears.
It's been more than two hours since the incident. If Jian Yu really fell, in this cold weather, the chances of survival are really slim.
Li Bo gritted his teeth and cursed inwardly, "Jian Yu has come all this way, how could he still fall down?"
God, will you ever open your eyes?
Huo Qizhen's people are very efficient. After seeing the license plate number of the vehicle on the other side in the video provided by Li Yang, they quickly found out everything about the driver.
"The driver is 48 years old. He has a wife, two daughters, and an elderly mother. He is a family man, and his wife is very virtuous. The family lived a good life. However, unexpected events occurred. A month ago, the driver was diagnosed with late-stage stomach cancer. He spent a lot on treatment, but it was of no use. With his savings running out and his condition getting worse, a week ago, the driver ignored his family's objections and insisted on leaving the hospital to go home and wait to die. Three days ago, he started going out frequently again, and today he was waiting here very early."
"so?"
"We suspect he was paid to get rid of Jian Yu."
Do you know who it is?
"We don't know yet. There are no clues on the phone. They must have met and talked."
"Has his money been found?"
“His account showed no abnormalities, so I suspect he received cash, and it’s currently in the hands of his family.”
"Go find it."
"yes."
Huo Qizhen gripped his phone tightly, his anger radiating from him.
Li Bo stood behind him, not daring to breathe loudly. Others who didn't know him might think Huo Qizhen was a gentle person, or even a gentleman. As the butler and confidant who had taken care of him since he was a child, Li Bo knew Huo Qizhen's character very well.
His gentle demeanor is merely a facade; deep down, arrogance, coldness, and ruthlessness have never changed...
Just like when his wife had just passed away, Huo An brought Xu Que and Huo Yunzhen to visit him.
When he learned that his father’s illegitimate son was older than him, Huo Qizhen could not hide his anger.
Huo Tingzhen was also unable to accept it for a while and hid in her room and refused to come out.
Huo An forced the servants to bring Huo Tingzhen out, and the servants who were dragging Huo Tingzhen had their hands broken on the spot by Huo Qizhen.
Huo Yunzhen took advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention to verbally provoke him, and was beaten quite badly. If the others hadn't discovered them in time and pulled them apart, Huo Yunzhen might have been strangled to death.
Huo An was furious and slapped him across the face.
Huo Qizhen's eyes were as cold as a wild beast's. He only stared at him for a moment before turning around and punching Huo Yunzhen, breaking his nose.
This time, no one could pull the nine-year-old child away.
Finally, it was Old Master Huo who stepped in and calmed the person down.
Thanks to Old Master Huo's affection for him, Huo Anhao was given a good scolding.
Huo An dared not go against Old Master Huo, so he had no choice but to give up.
However, Huo An also received compensation, and Xu Que and Huo Yunzhen were able to settle in smoothly.
During that period, apart from Old Master Huo, only Huo Tingzhen and Old Madam Huo were able to get close to him.
Two years later, under the tutelage of his grandfather, Fok Kai-chun gradually learned to wear a mask in public.
Later, more and more people praised him for his gentle and refined nature.
Kenneth Fok accepted everything without question, and his gaze, tone of voice, and manner of doing things became increasingly gentle.
Even Huo An and Xu Que thought this was Huo Qizhen's personality.
Uncle Li knew what happened to those who offended Huo Qizhen.
“If they’re unwilling to talk, arrest them and interrogate them one by one. Use whatever methods you want; I just want the results.”
Li Bo's heart pounded wildly.
It’s over!
This means that I'd rather die than give up the answer.
That headstrong young master is back.
