“President Huo, sir, we have found Dr. Wu An. He got knocked out in the dressing room, naked,” reported the two bodyguards hurriedly.
“UGH!” Huo Yunting got up, raised his one arm and launched his fist into the wall violently. “PRINT OUT. The visual. Of this stranger. Now!”
“Yes, sir!” The security quickly prompted the printer and handed over the photos to Huo Li and his men.
“Send this to Huo Chen too.” A copy was also mailed to Huo Chen to maximize the use of the scarce time they had.
Huo Chen immediately ordered Song Shou to inform police stations across the nation while demanding them to block all routes connected to the Capital for inspection.
Well, that one person who took the baby away was instantly found within an hour.
“According to the report newly lodged at the police, there is apparently a body of a man found at the abandoned garden near the hospital.” Huo Chen continued reading the report on his tablet, “And from what they have discovered, the man appears to be the one who kidnapped Huo Ran in the first place. More importantly, he’s a man working under Xiang Jinxi!”
“...” Huo Yunting, grinding his teeth, frowned as he crossed his fingers.
Looks like Xiang Jinxi is serious about his last words...
“Any news on my daughter?”
“No...” Huo Chen sounded grave, “Based on the signs found, he was not the only one at the scene. Perhaps, at least one more person is involved in the crime scene and they had a conflict, during which this man was murdered. Given how the man died on a rather similar timing with Xiang Jinxi, we can infer that it shouldn’t be Xiang Jinxi’s man but someone he worked with, who took Huo Ran away.”
That someone, upon knowing Xiang Jinxi was dead, killed his man and left with the child.
Clearly.
“Someone he worked with?” Huo Yunting was calm despite the agitation brewing inside him. “Who else other than Eric?” He muttered.
Impossible. If that’s anyone from a force associated with Xiang Jinxi, no way I wouldn’t have known that. I have thoroughly inspected all his associates! Unless...
Right! Unless...
“That person is either someone who is anonymous, completely non-existent in our lives or someone whom Xiang Jinxi assigned a long time ago,” inferred Huo Yunting before taking a deep breath with bloodthirstiness in his eyes, “And that person has some issues with us, hates me so much that he or she insisted on taking the child away even after Xiang Jinxi is known to be dead.”
“Right,” Huo Chen nodded approvingly, “Just be careful.”
“I’ll be waiting. Hmph, if that person ever shows up before me, I’ll make sure they’d be shredded into a million pieces.” He cracked his knuckles loud like his words.
You dare touch my daughter, you better be prepared because it’ll be an expensive price to pay. Try me!
He then called Huo Li from time to time to seek updates on the search while his mind was plotting a master plan to avenge his daughter.
Yet, heaven forbid...
Days passed and nothing was found.
The person who eventually took Huo Ran away was nowhere to be found. That person did not seem to intend to announce their presence and motive either.
As if a child trafficker, the person had disappeared with the child.
Huo Yunting was furious as he impatiently tapped his cigarette, checking out the phone every 5 minute that lapsed like weeks to him. “Take more men with you, Huo Li, I don’t care if you have to blow up the entire Capital, I want my daughter back.”
“Yes, Brother Ting, would love to do that but we can’t find anything at the moment...”
The pen in Huo Yunting’s grip snapped. Huo Yunting smashed his fist into the wall again. Blood was oozing out of his knuckle yet Huo Yunting did not feel the pain. He was more distracted by the situation.
The once-alpha on the dark horse seemed to have lost the confident glow in his eyes as he tasted defeat. His hair tousled in misery. His lips paled in worry.
