Chapter 129 It's Impossible for Someone to Disappear Without a Reason
"Didn't you report it to the authorities?" Yun Juan thought to herself. This matter was clearly of great importance, and if not handled properly, it could lead to serious consequences.
However, given his current status and situation, it would not be easy for him to personally resolve this matter. After much thought, handing it over to the government might be the most appropriate choice!
Upon hearing the words "government," Bai Yulan, who was standing to the side, trembled violently. Her fair, jade-like fists clenched tightly together, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force.
Her beautiful eyes turned red in an instant, as if tears were about to spill out at any moment.
“The government? I’ve already been there!” Bai Yulan’s voice trembled with grief and indignation. “They…they said…” At this point, she couldn’t help but recall the vile words spoken by those arrogant bastards, and her emotions became even more agitated, to the point that her voice began to choke.
Upon seeing this, Yun Juan immediately understood. Without much thought, she knew that the officials must have said some extremely unpleasant things.
She knew these people's character all too well; they often bullied the good and did favoritism, so why would they take this situation seriously?
"Speak! Tell me the official's exact words!" Yun Juan looked at Bai Yulan with a solemn expression. She was eager to find out whether the government would take any action in this matter. After all, losing a living person for no reason was no trivial matter!
Bai Yulan took a deep breath, suppressing her grief and anger, and said, "Master, the officials actually said he's just a little beggar, and there's no need to go to such lengths to find him. They even said that if he's lost, it's as if he's dead! There are beggars everywhere on the streets. If one goes missing today, another tomorrow, even if the government wants to help, they're powerless to do anything about it!"
By the end, Bai Yulan was trembling with anger, her teeth clenched, and she hated the ugly faces of those officials to the core.
Yun Juan sat upright at the table, her exquisite face like a finely sculpted work of art. Surprisingly, however, her facial expression was as still and undisturbed as a stagnant pool.
The room was silent, save for the rhythmic tapping of her slender fingers on the table, producing a series of crisp, monotonous sounds: "Tap...tap...tap..."
The voice struck the souls of everyone present like a heavy hammer, and even the usually outspoken Bai Yulan couldn't fathom what Yun Juan was thinking.
In stark contrast to Yun Quan was Bai Yulan herself, who always wore her emotions on her sleeve, like an open book that anyone could easily read.
At this moment, she couldn't help but sigh to herself, "My boss truly lives up to his reputation! He looks several years younger than me, but his composure and calmness are something I can only dream of. I've been working for him for quite some time now, but my impulsive nature hasn't changed at all. Sigh, it seems I'll have to work even harder and learn from him!"
After a moment of contemplation, Yun Juan finally broke the silence and said, "You should go back first! Remember to send some people out to inquire carefully and see if any people or children have mysteriously disappeared in the capital recently?"
In her view, it was unlikely that a beggar of low status would make enemies and thus invite death.
After all, the beggar had no relatives or friends to rely on and was wandering the streets all alone, so his life or death had little impact on others.
Even if someone wanted to extort money through kidnapping, they probably wouldn't be able to find anyone willing to pay the ransom. It's such a thankless and exhausting task that it's really not worth doing.
Therefore, there must be some unknown secrets hidden behind this matter.
Upon hearing Yun Juan's words, Bai Yulan's eyes lit up, and she quickly took her leave to investigate the matter!
Bai Yulan was happily preparing to leave when she heard Yun Juan's call. She stopped abruptly, turned around hastily, and asked with a mixture of confusion and anticipation, "What is it, Master? Is there anything important that you need me to do?"
At this moment, Bai Yulan secretly wondered why Yun Juan had called her back. Could it be that there was a new situation in the shop or that she needed to be given a task?
After all, as the apparent manager, she was well aware of the heavy responsibility.
Yun Juan frowned slightly, her gaze falling on Bai Yulan, and said slowly, "It's nothing! I just wanted to remind you that you must not be so rash in the future. As the manager of this shop, your every move represents our reputation, so you should act with composure."
Yun Juan understood that although Bai Yulan was somewhat clever, she still needed to work on her character.
She has grand plans for the future—to expand her business to four countries. If Bai Yulan remains as impulsive as she is, she may not be able to live up to the position of head manager.
Thinking of this, Yun Juan couldn't help but recall what Gouzi had once said: only by collecting all the fragments could the mysterious space be repaired.
But now she is trapped in this small predicament, unable to escape even a simple arranged marriage.
Therefore, she was determined to do everything she could to expand and strengthen her business, penetrate into various countries, and firmly control their economic lifelines.
Only in this way can we break the current deadlock and achieve our goals.
That would also give us a chance to try and take a gamble with them!
"Sigh..." Yun Juan sighed softly, her heart filled with helplessness and entanglement.
She gazed at the bustling capital city in the distance, her brows furrowed, knowing full well that once she stepped into this seemingly calm but actually turbulent water, it would be difficult to escape unscathed.
However, she knew very well that this was no accident and that someone must be manipulating things behind the scenes.
How could someone just disappear in the capital for no reason?
There must be some unspeakable conspiracy and secret hidden within.
However, now that the other party dares to provoke her, this has truly crossed her bottom line.
As the saying goes, even a rabbit will bite when cornered, let alone Yun Quan, who always seeks revenge.
Since things have come to this, running away is obviously not the solution. The only option is to face the challenge head-on and confront them head-on to the end!
Although this adventure may not turn out like people often say—a gamble that can turn a single person into a motorbike—it is still a life at stake!
Moreover, these were her own subordinates. She simply couldn't bring herself to stand by and watch them suffer a terrible fate without doing anything or offering any help!
