Supremely Talented Tyrant

"We are going to Secretary Lin's place at eleven o'clock."

After hanging up the phone, Shu Ya looked up at Hao Jian.

"Is your health okay?"

Although Hao Jian helped Shu Ya sort things out a bit physically, it would be best to take a break, and he was also worried that Shu Ya might not handle it well.

Shu Ya shook her head: "I still want to go see that place first. In the future, it will become a very important mineral production site for our Shu Ya Group, and when the miners come, we also need to check the safety there. If yesterday afternoon's mudslide becomes a frequent occurrence, the mining costs might increase considerably."

"Alright then."

Listening to Shu Ya's explanation, Hao Jian nodded.

Over the next few hours, Hao Jian wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he went out to find a restaurant. After giving them some money to buy ingredients, he started preparing a medicinal meal for Shu Ya.

Hao Jian originally wanted to do it at the hotel, but unfortunately, the hotel's kitchen wasn't available, so he could only go out to find a place.

Since they didn't need to go to Secretary Lin's place until eleven, there was still plenty of time for him to prepare these things. The main reason he wanted to do this was to improve Shu Ya's health.

They also had to hike later, and with her current physical condition, she would likely get tired halfway through, or it might even be worse.

Even though he could carry Shu Ya, after all, she was a company president and needed to maintain some presence in front of Lin Zheng.

"Had I known, I should have held back last night..."

Thinking about last night's craziness, Hao Jian couldn't help but show a helpless smile as he cooked.

Ten-thirty...

"Let's go, we can head out now."

Watching Shu Ya finishing four or five dishes, Hao Jian smiled. Given Shu Ya's usual appetite, it was hard for her to eat so much, but seeing her eat this much now gave him a sense of satisfaction.

"Call your staff over first, then we can depart."

Hao Jian chuckled as he held Shu Ya's small hand, walking towards the hallway elevator while speaking.

After pressing the floor button, Hao Jian turned around, looked at Shu Ya, and smiled: "I hope nothing goes wrong today. I still want to stay in this city a few more days to check out the sights."

"I know you love to play."

Thinking Hao Jian had something serious to say, Shu Ya was just about to make a call when she heard his words, rolled her eyes involuntarily, and huffed.

They walked out of the hotel's entrance to the parking lot, standing by the car, she picked up her phone to call her staff.

"We're getting ready to go to Secretary Lin's place. Come down as soon as you can, but don't rush. Make sure to get prepared."

After speaking, Shu Ya hung up and then looked at Hao Jian, smiling mischievously as they both waited for their staff to come down.

Soon after Shu Ya hung up, the staff hurried down. Originally, Hao Jian thought these guys might dawdle because of Shu Ya's few words.

But it turned out they wouldn't dare to be slow with two leaders waiting downstairs. If the leaders got impatient, they might as well kiss their jobs goodbye.

In any ordinary company, losing their jobs wouldn't matter, as they believed they could find better places. But with Shu Ya Group?

It's currently in a high-speed development phase, not to mention the two powerful bosses. The company's rise is unstoppable, and they value the present.

If they successfully help the company expand its business, once the company grows, they would become the founding fathers and perhaps even shareholders.

Such a huge temptation, how could they give it up? Now, many people are watching their elite positions from below.

"President! Chairman!"

The five quickly ran up to Shu Ya and Hao Jian, greeting them respectfully, waiting for their response.

"Ahui?"

Shu Ya noticed the five and frowned slightly. Only three women and two men had arrived, missing one man, who was Ahui, also known as Zheng Hui, an elite capable of handling things independently.

To put it bluntly, if given a company, Zheng Hui would definitely manage it vividly. Shu Ya even planned to send him to a distant city to open a subsidiary when Shu Ya Group expanded its business.

Why didn't he show up now?

Zheng Hui is meticulous in his work. On the contrary, he is a very precise person with a strong sense of time. But why is he absent now?

This is not like him.

"Could he be sick?"

Shu Ya's brow slightly furrowed, and the five people in front of her seemed to expect this question from her. One of the men stepped forward and spoke respectfully to Shu Ya.

"President, Ahui went to the bar with us to drink last night when it wasn't raining. By ten in the evening, we had drunk quite a bit and planned to return to rest."

"But at that time, he was hitting it off with a bunny girl at the bar. He even left with her at her suggestion."

"We didn't think anything of it at that moment, so we just told him, and the two of us returned to the hotel first..."

"What happened afterward?"

Listening to this employee's explanation, Shu Ya's brow furrowed slightly. She never pried into such personal matters as long as one performed their job well.

"This morning, around nine o'clock, we thought it was getting late and decided to wake up Ahui. However, calling him and knocking on his door elicited no response. I just assumed he was still sleeping and didn't pay much attention..."

"Then I came here..."

He had seen Zheng Hui leave with that girl with his own eyes last night. Based on past experiences, Zheng Hui wouldn't wake up before nine, or even later, which was entirely possible. So he hadn't been concerned, but Shu Ya's question now left him worried.

Upon hearing this, Shu Ya furrowed her slender eyebrows deeply together. She turned her head to another man and said, "Wei De, do you have anything to add to what Shi Yu said?"

Upon being addressed by Shu Ya, Wei De quickly shook his head and said, "What Xiao Yu said is very similar to what I saw. President, why don't we try calling Ahui again?"

"Alright."

Shu Ya nodded. Her inability to contact her employee concerned her, especially since none of the six people she brought could be missing.

A few minutes later...

"President, I can't get through..."

Shi Yu held his phone, which showed the call had failed. He raised his head, shook it at Shu Ya, and worry was evident in his eyes. He had dialed six or seven times continuously just now, but still couldn't get through.

Usually, anyone would have been woken up by so many calls, even if they were sleeping, so why couldn't they wake up?

Furthermore, Zheng Hui was particular about his timing and had chosen a loudly ringing song as the ringtone for all his calls.

Upon hearing this, Shu Ya's already tightly knit eyebrows furrowed deeply, and beside her, Hao Jian quietly listened to these explanations.

Halfway through, Hao Jian realized that this was troublesome. Having been unable to contact Zheng Hui made it highly possible that something had happened.

Moreover, it likely occurred last night, specifically when he left with that bunny girl.

"Shu Ya, don't discuss it here any longer. Call the police right away and ask them to help find him!"

In Hao'an City, Hao Jian lacked influence. Using his power to find someone felt a bit powerless, so now he had to turn to the police. Nonetheless, he felt uncertain about the disappearance.

In Hao'an City, the only thing more prevalent than anything else was missing persons. If the police were truly competent, disappearances wouldn't happen so frequently.

Therefore, Hao Jian didn't place much faith in the city's police. However, there was no other way than relying on them to help find the person.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Initially struggling to devise a strategy, Shu Ya's eyes brightened instantly upon hearing Hao Jian's suggestion. She quickly took out her phone and dialed the local police station.

A minute later...

Shu Ya's pretty face suddenly bore an expression of anger.

Two minutes later...

"Hello? Hello?!

Shu Ya pressed her phone continuously with an anxious and angry expression before she hung up forcefully, stuffing it into her bag, her face dark as water.

The five employees, seeing Shu Ya's expression, knew she seemed to encounter something infuriating but didn't dare speak up due to her status. If they provoked her wrath, what could they do?

However, Hao Jian paid no mind to this. Noticing Shu Ya's expression, he asked with curiosity, "What happened? Did something go wrong?"

"Those people... those people!"

Hearing Hao Jian's voice, Shu Ya raised her head, her face still unpleasant, her lips slightly parted, indignant: "Those police said if a person hasn't been missing for more than forty-eight hours, they won't file a case!"

"It means we have to wait until tomorrow night to report at the police station, and for now, they're not concerned at all!"

"So that's how it is..."

Upon hearing Shu Ya's explanation, Hao Jian's mouth turned downward, eyes flashing coldly. If it was true that a case would only be filed after forty-eight hours, even if someone was found, the concerned person might already be in trouble by then?!
