I am a super cop

Chapter 2791: Cao Cao Takes the Initiative

"Is the reputation so bad?" Lu Weiwei was also confused when she heard the middle-aged female receptionist's words.

It seems that Zhuang Tianhe used to be a dandy, uneducated guy.

So Lu Weiwei asked again: "He was such a spendthrift before, so didn't his parents care about him?"

"Manage? How? His father, our former boss, has been bedridden for years, and his mother dotes on him and is devoted to taking care of his father, so she can't manage him at all."

"Later, his father died of illness, and his mother mysteriously followed him."

"No, wait a minute." Hearing this, Officer Wang interrupted and said, "Are you saying that Zhuang Tianhe's father died of illness? And his mother also died in a strange way? What do you mean by 'strange'?"

"I'm not sure either." The middle-aged female receptionist thought for a while and said slowly:

"Anyway, as I recall, since Zhuang Tianhe's father became seriously ill, his mother has rarely shown up."

“Most of the time, the normal operations of the company are managed by the current CEO.”

"Later, the company ran into difficulties and the other shareholders quit because Zhuang Tianhe's father could no longer manage the company. So they took advantage of the previous CEO's death to reorganize the company's equity structure."

"In the end, the previous CEO was kicked out of the company, and the current CEO was pushed to the top position by the shareholders."

With a faint sigh, the middle-aged female receptionist continued, "Later, Zhuang Tianhe encountered that fire again and was half dead. He doesn't have any relatives here."

"Later, it seemed like he himself proposed to go abroad for further studies or something. Anyway, I'm not sure."

"Then we knew that Zhuang Tianhe had gone abroad. Since then, we have not heard any news about Zhuang Tianhe."

"That is, right now, you come and tell us about this matter."

"So that's how it is?" After hearing what the middle-aged female receptionist said, Gu Chen felt more and more that there seemed to be a deep conflict between Zhuang Tianhe and Zhuang Hu.

So Gu Chen asked the middle-aged female receptionist again: "Then what is your attitude towards Zhuang Tianhe, Mr. Zhuang, that is, Zhuang Hu?"

"Oh, that definitely means they won't be spoiled." said the middle-aged female receptionist.

"What do you mean?" Gu Chen expressed his confusion.

So the middle-aged female receptionist quickly explained: "It's the current Mr. Zhuang. Although he and Zhuang Tianhe's father, the previous Mr. Zhuang, are from the same place."

"They are also considered to be fellow villagers, and Zhuang Hu has been with Mr. Zhuang for many years. He is considered to be one of the earliest company veterans who worked together and has a high status in the company."

"But ever since Zhuang Hu took over the company, Zhuang Tianhe and him don't seem to get along well."

"After all, who would feel good if their company was taken away by someone else?"

"So Zhuang Tianhe has always felt that it was Zhuang Hu who was behind this. When his father was critically ill, he and others stole his family's company."

Spreading her hands, the middle-aged female receptionist also sighed and said, "So tell me, in this situation, how good can the relationship between the two be?"

"Has Zhuang Tianhe gone to see Zhuang Hu recently?" Yuan Shasha asked.

The middle-aged female receptionist shook her head like a rattle: "I don't know, how can I know? I didn't even know Zhuang Tianhe had returned to China. If I hadn't heard you say that, I really wouldn't have known."

"Okay." Feeling that the female receptionist really didn't understand the situation, Gu Chen quickly asked again: "Where does Zhuang Hu live?"

"Red Eagle Villa." said the middle-aged female receptionist.

"Okay, thank you." After getting the address, Gu Chen did not stay here. He immediately took everyone out of the company and prepared to take a car to the Red Eagle Villa.

……

……

Hongying Villa is a well-known high-end residential area in Jiangnan City. All the house types here are villas, single-family and double-family. It is a high-end residential area developed in recent years.

Therefore, the various supporting facilities are superior to those of the old villas, which has attracted many successful people from Jiangnan City to live here.

When Gu Chen and his companions drove to the gate of the villa, the security guard came out immediately.

Gu Chen rolled down the car window and asked, "Does Zhuang Hu live in this neighborhood?"

"Mr. Zhuang? Yes, he lives in Building 9," said the security guard.

"Then where do I park my car?" Gu Chen asked again.

The security guard looked around and said, "To enter our community's underground garage, you need a matching door card. You can't get in without a card. Otherwise, just park at the door. There are several public parking spaces over there."

"Okay." Gu Chen saw the parking space and backed the car into the garage steadily.

After getting off the car, Gu Chen asked about the address of Building 9 and then hurriedly led everyone to the door of Building 9.

At this moment, Gu Chen pressed the doorbell, and not long after, a middle-aged woman in simple clothes opened the door.

When she saw several people in police uniforms standing at the door, the middle-aged woman asked curiously, "Police comrade, are you here to deal with Mr. Zhuang's disappearance?"

"Did you call the police?" Lu Weiwei asked.

"Uh... didn't you come here because of a police call?" The middle-aged woman was stunned when she heard Lu Weiwei's question.

It felt like these policemen came uninvited.

Officer Wang got straight to the point and asked, "Is Mr. Zhuang's family here?"

"Uh, Mrs. Zhuang is in there." said the middle-aged woman.

"Take us in to see her," said Officer Wang.

"Okay...ok." The middle-aged woman, who was not very clear about the situation, could only let a few people in.

Only then did Gu Chen and his companions realize that this middle-aged woman was the nanny of Zhuang Hu's family, who was usually responsible for cleaning and cooking.

At this moment, everyone came to the lobby of the villa.

The middle-aged woman stood in the middle of the hall and shouted to the second floor: "Madam, some police comrades are coming. They said they want to see you."

The noise downstairs was also heard, and suddenly footsteps were heard from upstairs. A middle-aged woman dressed like a lady also walked to the guardrail.

When she saw four policemen standing in the hall, the middle-aged woman dressed as a lady was stunned for a moment and quickly walked down the stairs.

"Hello, are you Zhuang Hu's lover?" Gu Chen walked up and asked.

"Yes." The lady nodded silently, also very curious.

So Gu Chen asked again: "Then where is your husband Zhuang Hu now?"

"he……"

As if her soft spot had been touched, the lady was suddenly stunned and didn't know how to answer for a long time.

Gu Chen asked again: "Is he missing?"

"You...how did you know?" The noble lady's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. Lu Weiwei beside her quickly explained, "We just went to your husband's company, Tianxiang Wine Company, and it was when the staff there contacted your husband's assistant that we learned that he had been missing for a day."

"Is... is that so?" It seemed that these policemen came to the company to find her husband for some important matter.

The lady looked a little flustered.

So Gu Chen asked again: "Why did your husband disappear?"

"I'm not sure about this." The lady shook her head like a rattle and said hesitantly:

"He said he was going out to do something, and then he didn't come back for the whole day."

"I'm not sure where he went. His phone was turned off. My assistant came to ask about the situation, but I didn't know anything about it."

With a faint sigh, the lady continued, "Now I don't know what to do. I just hope that my husband can call me after his phone is restored."

"When did Zhuang Hu disappear? Was it exactly one day ago?" Yuan Shasha asked.

"Yes." The lady nodded silently and said without hesitation:

"He said a day ago that he had to go out to do something. He didn't even bring his secretary or assistant with him. He just drove out by himself."

"Then, there has been no news until now. I don't know where he has gone."

"When he left, didn't he tell your mother?" asked Officer Wang.

"I don't dare to ask this."

"Don't dare to ask? What does that mean?" Officer Wang became more and more confused the more he listened.

So the lady quickly explained: "My husband has a habit, that is his daily work, and he doesn't want me to interfere."

"So it's his freedom to get it wherever he wants. I have no right to interfere. Sometimes, even asking one more question is not allowed."

At this point, the noble lady also sighed and said with emotion:
"So for all these years, I didn't ask about his situation, but this time, I felt that he was on a business trip, but his phone was turned off because it was out of battery."

"I believe he will call me once his phone has power."

"Did he go out alone?" asked Officer Wang.

"Yes, alone," said the lady.

"Did he really not reveal anything about where he was going? Didn't even his secretary know?" Officer Wang asked again.

But the lady still shook her head and denied it: "I really don't know about this. I am also waiting for his news."

"Zhuang Tianhe, do you know this person?" The lady said a lot but didn't seem to provide any valuable clues.

So Gu Chen asked another question.

But this question made the lady visibly stunned.

After Gu Chen noticed these micro-expressions, he continued to ask: "So, you know Zhuang Tianhe, right?"

"Uh... yes, yes, I know him. He is the son of my husband's former boss."

"So what's the relationship between him and your husband?" Gu Chen asked again.

"Relationship? The relationship... is very good."

"Very good?" Gu Chen asked the lady after hearing it.

The lady was also afraid to look directly at Gu Chen because of his sharp eyes.

I could only lower my head and nod silently: "Yes, very good."

"You are lying." Gu Chen stopped pretending and pointed directly at the lady in front of him.

Seeing this, the lady became anxious and quickly explained: "No, the relationship between them is really good."

"But what we heard seems to be very different from what you said." Lu Weiwei also reminded.

The lady also seemed to realize that the police seemed to know a lot about her husband's affairs.

For a moment, I didn't know how to answer, so I smiled bitterly and said:
"Comrade police officer, I'm not very clear about the specific relationship between them, but the relationship between them has caused some conflicts due to the changes in the company's equity structure."

"After all, my husband successfully took over the company after a vote by the company's shareholders."

"But this company was previously owned by Zhuang Tianhe, so Zhuang Tianhe naturally couldn't bear to let it go."

"So there was a rift between me and my husband, but I feel that this is all a misunderstanding. The two of them actually have a good relationship in private."

"Then this time, will your husband Zhuang Hu go to meet Zhuang Tianhe privately?" Gu Chen asked again.

But this question made the lady stand there in a daze, and she didn't know how to organize her words.

So Gu Chen quickly said, "Then let me answer you. It seems that the disappearance of your husband Zhuang Hu was not an accident, but a premeditated kidnapping."

"Besides, Zhuang Tianhe recently returned to Jiangnan City, so the conflict between the two might be like a powder keg that can be ignited at any time."

"But now, both of them are currently missing, so we conclude that they should still be together."

After a pause, seeing the noble lady's incredulous look, Gu Chen continued, "As you know, the relationship between the two seems to have reached a dead end, and it is difficult to turn it around."

"So Zhuang Tianhe found Zhuang Hu and wanted to have a good chat with him, is that right?"

Listening to Gu Chen's explanation, the lady lowered her head even more.

Lu Weiwei was a little impatient and urged, "I'm asking you a question. Has the grudge between the two of them been resolved?"

In response to Lu Weiwei's question, the lady still shook her head.

"Can't you tell the truth for your husband? He is most likely dead now, because Zhuang Tianhe's return to China seems to be planning a revenge against Zhuang Hu."

"It seems that Zhuang Tianhe planned this disappearance in order to let Zhuang Hu meet him alone."

After a pause, Lu Weiwei continued her analysis: "And from now on, every minute that passes, your husband Zhuang Hu will be in more danger."

"If you don't say anything, it will be difficult for us to help you."

"I... I only know that my husband received a phone call that night. Afterwards, he left the bedroom and went to the living room alone, holding his phone and chattering for a long time."

"The final result was that the next day, he said he had to go on a business trip, and then he disappeared."

"Until now, there has been no news from him. I think he must be with Zhuang Tianhe, but I stay at home and have no way to get any information. I... I don't know what to do."

"I don't even know whether I should call the police or not. After all, he said he was on a business trip, and I was afraid of making a mistake, so I didn't dare to call the police. But I didn't expect that you would come to my door like Cao Cao after I didn't call the police."
