Chapter 15

I called Luo Ding's company, but the answer was: "Director Luo didn't come to work today!"

I was stunned for a moment: "He asked for leave?"

The company's response was: "No, we called his home, and his wife said he didn't come home last night."

.

I was stunned for a moment, then quickly asked, "He didn't come back last night? What does that mean? Where did he go?"

The company employee seemed a little impatient: "I don't know, and his family doesn't know either, so we've already called the police."

Before I could ask anything else, the other party had already hung up the phone.

I put down the phone, left my hand on it, and stared blankly into space. Luo Ding didn't come home last night!

After several days of surveillance, I know that Luo Ding is a very disciplined person. If he doesn't go home one night, then...

It's simply unimaginable.

Part 7: The Truth Will Soon Be Revealed

I immediately grabbed the walkie-talkie. Last night, I disguised myself and pretended to be Wang Zhiyi's representative, along with Luo Ding.

I have never told anyone about the meeting.

That means the people who took turns tracking Luo Ding would definitely know about his disappearance, because my meeting with Luo Ding also happened during that time.

Under surveillance.

I pressed the switch on the walkie-talkie and asked impatiently, "Who is tracking Luo Ding now?"

But I asked twice, and there was no answer. Just then, the phone rang suddenly. I picked it up...

Then Colonel Jack's voice came through: "Wei, Luo Ding has disappeared!"

I took a breath: "I know, I was just about to go look for him, but he didn't come home all night."

The colonel said, "Not going home for one night is a minor matter; I believe he must have met with some kind of accident."

I was taken aback: "How can you be so sure?"

The colonel snorted: "Weren't you and a few others tracking and monitoring Luo Ding day and night?"

I said, "Yes, I tried to contact them just now, but I couldn't get through. Do you know anything about them?"

The colonel snorted again: "The man who was in charge of tracking Luo Ding last night was shot through the head at midnight and is unconscious."

I collapsed on the road and was taken to the hospital by an ambulance called by passersby. I am still hospitalized. I am at the hospital now. Do you want to come?

"

I asked quickly, "I'll be there in ten minutes. Which hospital?"

The colonel told me the name of the hospital, and I rushed out the door, drove straight to the hospital, and then hurried upstairs in a corridor.

In the middle, I saw Jack and several high-ranking police officers talking to a doctor. As I walked over, I heard...

The doctor said, "He is still very weak and has lost a lot of blood. Don't trouble him for too long!"

The colonel nodded, turned his head, glanced at me, and snorted again. I angrily said, "What are you snorting about?"

It wasn't my fault!

Jack shouted, "Tracking and monitoring Luo Ding, that was your idea, so why blame yourself?"

I was both angry and amused: "Damn it, he disappeared even under surveillance and tracking. If we hadn't been tracking him..."

He disappeared just like that, without even a single clue?

Jack rolled his eyes, unable to answer for a moment. I said, "Never mind, let's hear what clues we can find!"

As I spoke, I pushed open the door to the ward.

The employee from Xiao Guo's firm was lying in bed, his head wrapped in bandages, his face terribly pale. The moment he saw me...

With trembling lips, she made a faint sound.

He might have been calling me, or he might have been saying something else; in any case, I couldn't hear him at all. Jack left the rest of them behind.

Outside the door, it was just the two of us in the ward. I spoke first: "Take your time, don't rush me!"

The employee sighed: "Last night, as usual, I was monitoring Luo Ding. I saw him around nine o'clock."

He rushed out the door, and I followed him the whole time.

My face twitched involuntarily.

The employee continued, "I followed him all the way to a dimly lit coffee shop. It turned out that in that coffee shop..."

There was someone already waiting for him in the middle.

Jack interjected, "What did that person look like?"

The employee gave a wry smile: "At the time, I secretly filmed their conversation with a small camera, but..."

The camera disappeared after I was attacked.

I waved my hand: "There's no need to find out who that person is. Just tell me what will happen next!"

Of course, for me, there's absolutely no need to investigate who Luo Ding met in the coffee shop; that person was simply...

"Me!" The employee gasped for breath. "Luo Ding and that mysterious figure have been talking. Luo Ding seems very excited."

But I still couldn't hear what they were saying!

I urged, "And then what happened?"

The employee seemed puzzled by my haste. He looked at me for a moment before saying, "Later, when..."

"A person—"

Colonel Jack interrupted him: "Wait a minute, you haven't said yet who was the first person to meet Luo Ding?"

What does it look like!

The employee said, "It was very dark, I couldn't see clearly, but I remember his expression was sinister, and he was about the same height as Mr. Wei."

!

This employee has good observation skills; he remembered my height.

The colonel then asked, "What about the person who came later?"

The employee said, "The later person was quite old, of medium build. As soon as he came in, he stood before the mysterious figure..."

He stood up, placed his hand on the mysterious figure's shoulder, and said something. The mysterious figure suddenly stood up and turned around.

He punched the person who came after him, sending them sprawling to the ground, and then he ran away. "That's what the employee said."

That's exactly right, that's what happened last night in that coffee shop.

But I don't know what happened after I escaped.

The employee added, "At that moment, I immediately chased after him."

The colonel said in a deep voice, "You shouldn't have chased after him. Your responsibility is to monitor Luo Ding!"

The employee blinked: "Yes, I chased him to the door, but he wasn't there. I immediately came back, and the coffee shop was in chaos."

The group was about to call the police when the waiter slipped a banknote to him, pulled Luo Ding along, and walked out together.

!

Colonel Jack and I took a breath together. The colonel said, "You're continuing to follow him?"

The employee said, "Yes, I continued to follow them, but who knew they would walk down one street and end up in another coffee shop."

Inside the room, the two talked for about an hour before Luo Ding left first, looking quite helpless. The old gentleman also left shortly after.

Yes.

I waved my hand: "Wait a minute, didn't you immediately follow Luo Ding when he left?"

The employee looked very distressed: "Yes, at the time I thought, I've been following Luo Ding for several days now, and..."

There were no new developments, so it was better to keep track of the people who met with Luo Ding. Therefore, I waited until the old gentleman left before...

Go with him!

I gave a wry smile, and the employee continued, "I followed the old gentleman out of the dining room, and we walked one after the other down a very cold..."

On a secluded street, I was completely focused on what was ahead, so I didn't expect someone to suddenly strike me hard on the back of the head.

A moment later, when I woke up, I was already in the hospital!

The colonel glared at me and said coldly, "What leads do you have?"

I knew what the colonel meant by that; he was mocking me for going to all that trouble and still not finding a single clue.

No.

I didn't answer him right away, but said to the employee, "You get some rest. I believe the truth will come out soon!"

The employee smiled bitterly and told us what had happened back then, looking utterly exhausted!

Colonel Jack and I left the ward together. As soon as we reached the door, the colonel coldly said, "What you just said..."

It sounds quite nice; it's very good for comforting an injured person.

Colonel Jack will not miss any opportunity to attack me; I'm completely used to it.

I simply said coldly, "Colonel, what gives you the right to say that my words are only for comforting the wounded?"

The colonel sneered: "Isn't that right? In fact, there aren't any clues at all, but you say things are going to be quick."

It's settled!

I looked him straight in the eye: "Colonel, how much do you really know about what happened last night?"

The colonel sneered, "What I know is what the staff said. I doubt you know much more than I do!"

Upon hearing the colonel's statement, I couldn't help but laugh. The colonel looked at me with a questioning gaze, and I reached out my hand.

He patted him hard on the shoulder: "I know far more than you do. Do you know, at September Coffee..."

Who is the mysterious guest in the room who was supposed to meet with Luo Ding?

The colonel rolled his eyes, unable to answer. Of course he couldn't answer, but he was unconvinced, and with a snort, he said, "You..."
