Chapter 67 Missing Person
Lu Hong summoned his trusted confidant, A-Jie, and gave him Han Jingshuo's orders to carry out.
Upon hearing that it was just a secret kidnapping of a girl, Ah Jie's expression was somewhat dismissive, as he didn't think it would be difficult at all.
"This matter is entrusted to you personally. You must carry out Young Master Han's orders properly and not be careless!" Lu Hong said sternly.
Ah Jie's expression hardened, and he quickly abandoned his disdain, solemnly agreeing.
Lu Hong's expression softened, and he asked, "Hasn't Ah Ming and Zhang Er found anyone yet?"
A-Jie shook his head heavily.
Four months ago, he sent Amin and Zhang Er to dispose of the body, but the two disappeared without a trace after that.
Life and death unknown.
"You've been searching for four months and still haven't found it?" Lu Hong's voice was filled with dissatisfaction, questioning A-Jie's handling of the situation.
“Yes… After dealing with the witnesses that night, I sent the two of them to dispose of the body. They didn’t tell anyone else where they went. We searched everywhere they might have gone, but we couldn’t find any information.” A-Jie lowered his head in shame.
Ah Jie had no idea that the two men who went to dispose of the body were killed by the 'body' itself and their bodies were sunk to the bottom of the lake.
The two men acted on a whim and transported the body to that abandoned mining lake to dump it, so no one else knew about it.
"If you can't find it, then forget it. It's probably dead somewhere." Lu Hong said indifferently.
Ah Jie silently lowered his head, and only after seeing that Lu Hong's anger had subsided did he take out a gold-embossed invitation letter and give it to him.
"Boss Hong, this is an invitation from the Seven Luminaries Pavilion."
"An invitation from the Seven Luminaries Pavilion?" Lu Hong was very surprised. He knew that the last time the Seven Luminaries Pavilion sent out an invitation was several years ago, and the item being auctioned back then was a priceless treasure!
The Seven Luminaries Pavilion only sends out invitations when auctioning genuine treasures, and only invites those who are wealthy and powerful. Without an invitation, you can't even get into the auction hall! No matter how much money you have, it's useless!
Lu Hong became interested and began to examine the contents of the invitation.
"It'll be early next month, I reckon there will be quite a few people attending."
The invitation did not specify the items to be auctioned, but anything that could warrant such a large-scale operation from the Seven Luminaries Pavilion must be something extraordinary.
Lu Hong is already looking forward to next month's auction.
"By the way, let's put off sending the test subjects to the pharmaceutical factory for now," Lu Hong suddenly said to A-Jie.
"Yes." Ah Jie quickly agreed, then asked, "Is it because the boss is wary of that Major Yan?"
"Not entirely. There are a lot of informants in City A now, so it's always better to be careful," Lu Hong said, waving his hand.
After thinking for a moment, A-Jie suggested, "If the boss is worried that operating in City A will attract attention, then we can collect test subjects in other places. After all, there aren't many beggars and homeless people left in City A."
Moreover, always targeting the same spot makes it easy for others to notice something amiss, Ah Jie thought to himself.
"No need. Just deliver the last batch of goods to Liang Zhuo at the pharmaceutical factory, and we'll suspend the supply." Lu Hong didn't explain the reason, but simply told A-Jie to do as he was told.
Ah Jie had no choice but to agree, but he was still very puzzled by his boss's actions.
Liang Zhuo offered one million yuan to acquire a test subject, specifying that the test subject must be a man with no background, and the kind of person who would be ignored even if he died. The homeless people who roamed the back alleys of City A fit the bill perfectly.
A homeless man can be exchanged for one million yuan, which is a guaranteed money-making deal!
Unfortunately, Lu Hong gave the order not to continue, so he had no choice but to give up.
