1292 Worried Sick 4

Because he used to come here for work all the time, the suite that Ah Mo stayed at was booked all year.

At this moment, inside the room that Ah Mo had reserved, Mu Yuchen stood by the window and silently looked out of it. Behind him stood Li Si, Ah Bao, and the rest.

The row of them dared not say anything. Their hearts were filled with reverence and worry because compared to a Master who spoke, they were even more afraid of a Master who did not.

Some time passed before Mu Yuchen calmly said, "Explain the situation."

Ah Bao and Li Si exchanged a look before the former took a step to the front and said softly, "Yes, Master! We've already searched through all the locations, but we didn't find anything relevant. The CCTV recordings that we got didn't help either because there are too many blind spots on that road. In fact, there were many side roads too. We've searched along all those side roads, but we didn't find anyone. Plus with this weather, I think that even if there were any traces, they were probably washed away by the rain. We couldn't do our job well. Master, please punish us!"

Ah Bao felt like his heart was exceptionally heavy. He had been buddies for more than 10 years with Ah Mo and had always sacrificed himself for the Mu family, what more the kinship between them. After they searched for so long but did not get a hint of news, Ah Bao blamed himself deeply.

Mu Yuchen's eyes darkened a little, but he did not scold him. He just closed his eyes to take a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, he had returned to calm.

"Master, right now, our people are still continuing to search. Perhaps we can find something useful," Li Si could not help but add.

"Couldn't find them? You know that I don't want this answer. Where are they? How did they just vanish with the car?"

Mu Yuchen's tone was rather sharp, so Ah Bao was fearful upon hearing it. He quickly said, "Yes, Master! I didn't do this well. Please punish me! We only know that Bro Mo and Master Qi's schedule for those few days. We noticed that Bro Mo met Gu Qiwu. In fact, it was more than once. When Bro Mo left City B, the last call he made was to Gu Qiwu too. Perhaps, Mr. Gu might know something. We're worried about the situation, so we didn't dare alert Gu Qiwu. We wanted to wait for you to come over and make the decision, Master."

"Gu Qiwu? What are you trying to say?"

As Mu Yuchen listened to this, his eyes instantly turned cold. That unfathomable gaze of his made Ah Bao feel apprehensive, so he quickly explained, "Master, Master, I'm not saying that Bro Mo would do anything. I'm just...I trust that Bro Mo wouldn't betray you, Master..." he explained nervously, while Mu Yuchen's expression had turned icy now.

"Where's Gu Qiwu now?" Mu Yuchen calmed himself down and asked again.

"Gu Qiwu's returned to City Z."

Before Li Si could finish, the phone in Mu Yuchen's pocket buzzed. Mu Yuchen quickly took his phone out to look. It was Su Chen, so he quickly answered, and Su Chen's low voice came through.

"Ah Chen, you've reached City B, haven't you?"

"Just reached the hotel. How are things on your end?" Mu Yuchen asked with a lowered voice.

"Mmm, let's not talk about that. I found something. Come over right away. I'll send the location to you. Come immediately!" Su Chen said then hung up.

After a while, Mu Yuchen's phone buzzed, so he opened the text and noticed that there was an additional GPS location.

Mu Yuchen took a look, then abruptly turned around and walked out of the room in huge strides with Ah Bao and Li Si following him.

...

Actually, Xi Xiaye knew that they would not be able to hide the news about Ah Mo from Mu Lingshi for long. They were husband and wife, after all. If Ah Mo was not around, he would have called Mu Lingshi every day, yet now with no news two days in a row, Mu Lingshi naturally noticed that something was out of place.

When she found Xi Xiaye, Xi Xiaye said that she was going back to the Shen residence, but it looked like she had to forgo that and return to the old Mu residence instead.

When the car drove into the old Mu residence, the sky had turned dark and the lights in the house were lit.

However, compared to the usual hustle and bustle, the moment Xi Xiaye walked into the living room, she could feel that the atmosphere was exceptionally odd and stifling. Before she could react, Mu Lingshi's voice of disbelief was heard.

"Mother, what did you say? Ah Mo's missing? Ah Mo's missing? Isn't he in City B? He even called me two days ago! How could he be missing?!"

Mu Lingshi was subconsciously afraid now, and the panic in her eyes could not be concealed as she looked at Zhuang Shurong in shock. Beside her, Mu Yinan frowned slightly too. Her eyes were fixed on Zhuang Shurong.

Zhuang Shurong sighed, her voice mixed with concern as she admitted, "We initially didn't want to tell you all about this because we were worried you would be too concerned, and it would be bad for your health. Now that two days have passed, I'm thinking that something's not right. Last night, your brother called your father who has sent people to search in City B, and your sis-in-law's people have gone over too, but it looks like there isn't much news yet. Qi Lei from the Qi family and Qi Lei's assistant have gone missing too."

"How could this happen? How could it? Two days ago, he told me that he'd rush back home soon, so how did this happen? They just vanished? Mother, did something happen to Ah Mo?"

Mu Lingshi's little face turned pale now, and a strong sense of uneasiness gathered at her chest as she propped herself up to stand and looked dazed at Zhuang Shurong.

"Lingshi, don't be so worked up first! For now, no news is good news. Your brother and your father are working hard right now, so it'll be fine. You should take care of yourself!" Zhuang Shurong quickly got up to hold Mu Lingshi.

"Can't the people around him be contacted too?" Mu Yinan was calmer since he had seen quite a fair bit in life and had just gone through the incident with Wang Hui. In fact, if it was something others did not know, he would understand it.

Ah Mo used to work with him, so he knew about his capabilities and his martial arts skills. Those highly skilled soldiers were no match for him, and he was confident in Ah Mo.

"We've contacted everyone that we could, but there's still no news," Zhuang Shurong sighed softly and responded.

"Grandfather, Mother, Ah Shi..."

Upon hearing this, Xi Xiaye walked in.

"You're back!" Mu Yinan smiled lovingly and greeted her.
