All night long, Su Lin checked the phone numbers that Qin Mobai had given him, and after tracing their origins, he investigated those people.

"President Qin, many of these people are just ordinary farmers and have no criminal records." Su Lin showed the information to Qin Mobai.

"Do criminals have ’criminal’ written on their faces? Check again!" Qin Mobai believed that among these numbers, there must be an accomplice of that woman; it was impossible for her to carry out such a meticulous plan alone.

"But this number isn’t registered, and it’s a Nancheng number." Su Lin pointed out a number, the only local number from Nancheng on Lin Qianqian’s phone, and they maintained a daily call frequency.

Qin Mobai glanced at the phone number and then quickly typed it into the computer.

He just hacked into the three major communications bureaus in Nancheng; as long as a number was registered, he could find out who it belonged to.

However, the screen did not display this person’s information; he hadn’t registered!

Qin Mobai felt a bit agitated and pushed the computer forward, lacking any patience.

His eyebrows furrowed tightly, and he incessantly smoked to soothe his nerves when annoyed.

But now, even smoking couldn’t calm him down.

As soon as he thought about Lou Xi’s disappearance, he worried. He should have realized sooner that person wasn’t Lou Xi, allowing him to investigate that woman’s background earlier. Dragging it out this long was his fault.

"President Qin, please rest for a bit; I’ll look into this number thing." Su Lin noticed the red streaks in Qin Mobai’s eyes, the stubble on his chin, and how exhausted he looked.

He knew how much Qin Mobai cared about Lou Xi, and with her missing, he couldn’t focus on work or rest.

But if Qin Mobai collapsed, who would look for Lou Xi?

Qin Mobai took a deep breath. Yes, what Su Lin said was right. If he panicked now, it would be even less likely to find Lou Xi’s whereabouts.

He stubbed out his cigarette, stood up from the chair, and said to Su Lin, "Don’t go to the company recently and focus all efforts on investigating Lou Xi’s disappearance."

"Yes." It was the first time Su Lin had seen Qin Mobai look so haggard, recalling that after being shot last time, Qin Mobai was calm and composed upon waking, unlike his current state of unrest.

The reason was solely because Lou Xi was Qin Mobai’s source of unrest.

Qin Mobai glanced at his wristwatch; it was nearly 6 AM. "I’ll go back first; call me if there’s any news."

"Don’t worry. I’ll definitely help you find Madam."

At the mention of Lou Xi, Qin Mobai’s brows furrowed even tighter. He then took his suit jacket and left Su Lin’s apartment.

As dawn broke, Qin Mobai’s car headed eastward, the sky gray and oppressive.

Qin Mobai’s mood was just as oppressive, not in the least beautiful.

The car eventually stopped below the apartment building, and Qin Mobai smoked another cigarette downstairs before going up.

He entered the bedroom to find Lin Qianqian sleeping soundly; the sleeping pills seemed effective.

Qin Mobai looked coolly at Lin Qianqian, and suddenly a thought sparked in his mind.

If he walked over now, strangled her neck, Lin Qianqian would wake up due to asphyxiation, and she would look at Qin Mobai in terror.

In that situation, could he get answers from Lin Qianqian about Lou Xi?
