The Huo family conglomerate's media oversight department did indeed see the news about Huo Tingzhen's disappearance.
They also reported to Huang Caiyun immediately.
Upon receiving the news, Huang Caiyun immediately had someone verify it with the branch offices in China.
Seeing that they could no longer hide the truth, the collateral branch revealed the reason for Huo Tingzhen's disappearance.
Huang Caiyun sat on the sofa, squinting at her assistant, her tone clearly suppressing her anger as she spoke.
"Huo Yun'an said that Tingzhen made a last-minute decision to conduct a separate investigation after having a conflict with Huangxi Group, which led to the accident?"
Has even her family been implicated?
The assistant lowered his head and didn't dare to answer.
He feared that his "yes" would provoke the old lady to even greater anger.
Huang Caiyun didn't insist that her assistant return; she simply raised her hand, and the housekeeper placed the phone in her palm.
The old lady slowly dialed a number with her index finger. Just two seconds later, the other end answered, sounding somewhat nervous, "Auntie?"
"You still remember that I'm your aunt?"
Huang Ling has seen the news and knows that Huo Tingzhen has been missing for two days.
Worried that the old lady would blame him for not taking good care of her, he hesitated and didn't dare to make the call.
When Huo Tingzhen returned to China, the old lady carefully instructed him, "This investment in China is an important decision for the Huo family conglomerate, which is related to the development direction of the Huo family in the next five years. You must do a good job and help our Huang family reach new heights."
He was eagerly anticipating Huo Tingzhen's proposed cooperation plan, but Huo Tingzhen actually demanded a public tender, showing no respect for his uncle.
After the unpleasant parting, he immediately complained to the old lady.
The old lady told him to just focus on preparing for the bidding, which gave him peace of mind.
Since he already knew the answer, he didn't want to pay any more attention to Huo Tingzhen.
I never expected that after ignoring him for just two days, he would disappear.
He personally called Master Huo, who said they had just received the news and had already sent people to look for them.
He paced back and forth in the living room, and just as he decided to call his aunt, she called.
"Auntie, I've been busy these past few days and haven't had a chance to contact Tingzhen. Otherwise, I would have told you already."
"Wouldn't it have been better if you had reported it to me earlier?"
Huang Caiyun became even angrier upon hearing his words, "Don't you know how to send someone to look for it?"
"I've already sent people to look for it."
Huang covered the microphone with his hand and winked at his secretary, who immediately ran to arrange manpower and organize a rescue.
Hearing that people had already been sent to search, Huang Caiyun's anger subsided slightly. "Send more people."
After hanging up the phone, Huang Caiyun glanced at the door and asked, "Where's the gentleman?"
The butler was about to reply.
A voice came from outside the door, "I'm here."
Hearing the footsteps, Huang Caiyun finally breathed a sigh of relief. After the others came in, she said, "I didn't expect those side branches to be so restless. You should personally lead people back to keep watch and bring Tingzhen back."
Upon receiving news of his daughter's disappearance, Huo An rushed back. As soon as he entered the door, he heard his mother's instructions and immediately nodded in agreement, "I'll be right back."
Huang Caiyun patted his shoulder, signaling him to go back and pack his things.
As soon as Huo An turned around, a bodyguard came in. "Madam, sir, the young master has received news and is worried about the young lady's safety. He has decided to personally lead people back to look for her."
"What?"
"What?"
The mother and son spoke at the same time, "Where is he?"
"They are leaving on a private jet."
Huo An rushed out, shouting, "Nonsense! He hasn't recovered yet, how can he go back to the country?"
"The young master said that the country knew about the attack on the young lady but chose to keep it a secret. The young master felt that they were involved. After all, they had a deep relationship with the master, and the young master was afraid that the master would have concerns, so he went there in your stead."
"..." Huo An, is this saying that he can't distinguish right from wrong and thinks that his daughter is not as important as his relatives?
The old lady was also a little angry. "Nonsense. The master is the young lady's father. No one in the country can compare to him. Go and tell the young master to stay home and recover from his injuries. The master will handle everything."
The bodyguard said, "Madam, I'm sorry! The young master should have already boarded the plane."
A faint rumbling sound came from outside; it was the Huo family's private plane.
Huo An's face grew even uglier, and he strode outside.
When we arrived at the grassland, we only saw the fuselage of the plane rising.
"How many men did the young master bring?"
Thirty people.
fine.
Just as Huo An was about to nod, the man continued, "The young master has also hired a team of people who will take a delayed flight to get there and then meet up in China."
Huo An's lips twitched, and he sighed, "Mercenaries looking for someone? That's too high-profile. What if Tingzhen is just being playful and goes off to adventure in the jungle like before? Wouldn't that be a false alarm?"
These words were overheard by the old lady who had just arrived.
She frowned. "That happened when Tingzhen was 15. She's still very reliable now. She disappeared while on business, so it definitely wasn't because she was playing around."
Huo An scratched his nose guiltily, "I was just saying it casually. The police have already been notified in China, so there's no need to hire so many extra people to go over."
The old lady also had this idea, "to have someone cancel the deal in the name of the Huo family."
The butler hesitated, "What about the eldest young master...?"
The old lady said, "Tell him it was my decision."
The housekeeper immediately went to inform them.
"Mom, let Yunzhen go with them! They're brothers, at least they can look after each other."
The old lady glanced at him and said, "At a time like this, we shouldn't let him go over and cause trouble."
Huo An was taken aback. "How could it be causing trouble? Qi Zhen has difficulty walking and might be looked down upon in China. I've taken Yun Zhen back to China on business trips a few times. He's very familiar with those people from the collateral branches, which makes things easier for him."
The old lady didn't speak, seemingly considering it.
Huo An spoke for a while longer, and seeing that the old lady was somewhat relenting, he immediately had someone call Huo Yunzhen over.
Huo Yunzhen already knew the purpose of his visit on his way here.
Upon entering, he immediately stated that he would definitely bring the two of them back safely.
The old lady still didn't utter a word.
Huo An praised her for a long time, and finally persuaded the old lady.
"Take a delayed flight!"
A hint of disappointment flickered in Huo Yunzhen's eyes. Huo Qizhen returned to China by private jet. Without his father accompanying him, he could only travel by plane like ordinary people.
"Yes, Grandma."
Just as Huo Yunzhen was about to step out the door, the old lady spoke again, "You're returning to the country to assist the eldest young master, so you don't need to bring too many people with you."
Too many people will only cause trouble.
Huo Yunzhen slowly clenched her fist. "I understand, Grandma. I will follow my second brother's arrangements for all domestic affairs."
The old lady looked satisfied. "Hmm."
Huo An's lips were pursed as he watched Huo Yunzhen leave. "Mom, Yunzhen is the eldest brother. Don't call others 'Young Master' in front of him."
The old lady snorted coldly, "You can leave too!"
Inside the cabin, Kenneth Fok took off his headphones and gave a silent, cold laugh.
Should he ask Huo Yunzhen to assist him?
It's amazing that his old father could come up with this idea.
