Qi Taiguo hurriedly rushed to the office and dialed a phone number to Cheng Yaozu, immediately asking, "Whatâs going on? How could Ning Ge go missing?"
Cheng Yaozu recounted the recent events, from Ning Ge secretly investigating the batch of goods hidden by Shenglong to the loss of contact, and now, whether dead or alive is unknown.
Qi Taiguoâs heart sank a little, and he said, "Was he on his own? No help?"
Cheng Yaozu said, "The old man provided someone who could be useful, but I donât know if he managed to find him."
"Since you provided someone, didnât you check with the people over there?" Qi Taiguoâs brow furrowed deeply. The matter with the Loo Family could be temporarily set aside, but nothing should happen to Ning Ge. Heâs the young master of the Ning Family and an important friend to them.
If anything happens because of this, wouldnât the one who suggested the idea be...
Qi Taiguo didnât dare to think further.
"Iâll go ask the old man about that personâs situation." Cheng Yaozu said.
"Iâll wait for your call back at the office. Donât call the house phone, donât let Cheng Su know." Qi Taiguo hastily ordered.
After hanging up, Qi Taiguo felt restless and uneasy, constantly thinking about how he would explain to Ning Gang and the Chief if something happened to Ning Ge.
Qi Taiguo felt a bit regretful.
The phone quickly rang again.
"Hello?" Qi Taiguo grabbed it quickly.
"Qi Taiguo?"
The voice on the other end was an unfamiliar manâs, which put Qi Taiguo a bit on guard: "Who are you?"
"Iâm Jiang Dafang!" The voice hesitated for a moment before speaking.
Qi Taiguo was startled; Jiang Dafang, the son of Jiang Conghe, why was he calling?
"Ning Ge said that if he couldnât be found, I could reach out to you in case of urgency." Jiang Dafangâs voice was both anxious and slightly excited.
"Go on!"
"Jiang Conghe acted as an intermediary to hand over the Loo Familyâs secret dealings to me, to handle it. The Loo Family, theyâre smuggling contraband!" Jiang Dafang said in a deep voice.
Smuggling contraband!
Qi Taiguo stood up abruptly. As he suspected, he was right; the Loo Family and Jiang Conghe were so reckless!
Suppressing his own excitement, Qi Taiguo asked, "Where are you now? Can you speak safely?"
"Donât worry, itâs very safe."
Qi Taiguo calmed himself and said, "Tell me what Jiang Conghe instructed you."
"Theyâre in a rush to dispatch a batch of goods. The Loo Familyâs transport team seems to be under surveillance and isnât convenient, so they asked if I dare to transport it through my team," Jiang Dafang whispered.
"Where will the goods be dispatched from, and when?"
Jiang Dafang said, "They havenât specified yet, just told me to be prepared. I overheard the pickup location seems to be in Guicheng!"
Guicheng, Guicheng again. How could there be a large batch of contraband there? But that area is dense with mountains and forests. Itâs really quite hard to detect if they are hidden there, because once any movement is spotted, itâs hidden deep in the wild forests, making it untraceable.
Qi Taiguoâs mind raced, and he said, "Stay calm and donât let anything slip. If possible, try to get evidence of their transactions, like ledgers or something."
"I know what to do!" Jiang Dafang hesitated for a moment: "Ning Ge, where did he go?"
Qi Taiguoâs heart felt heavy, and he said, "We donât know yet. I suspect heâs also been obstructed by this matter. Regardless, thank you. I will make arrangements."
The presence of contraband smugglers within the territory is not something an individual can address. This matter definitely needs to be reported.
