It was already evening when You Feng returned home. As soon as he stepped in, a deep voice rang out, "Where have you been?"
You Feng was startled by the sudden voice but quickly regained his composure. "Du Long, why are you here?"
"I'm asking you where you've been?" Du Long asked again.
You Feng sighed. "I went to the police station."
Du Long raised his eyebrows slightly. "What did you go there for?"
"I couldn't just leave my brothers alone, could I?" You Feng glanced at Du Long and said calmly. "You got them arrested. It's not that easy to get them out now."
This was indeed true. He had gone to the police station again, but not for his brothers. He just went there to avoid arousing Du Long's suspicion.
Du Long stared at You Feng for a while before continuing to ask, "How's the investigation going?"
Knowing that Du Long was deliberately changing the subject, You Feng felt a mix of relief and anger. He was relieved that he might have deceived Du Long, but angry that Du Long didn't even consider helping those poor brothers.
"My men are trying to get into Su Yuze's inner circle. Just wait," You Feng said.
"Wait for what? It must be Su Yuze who took my men. We just need to find them," Du Long frowned and said impatiently.
"Who knows? Su Yuze went abroad those days. How can you be so sure it was him?"
"Abroad?" Du Long looked skeptical. "I didn't know that."
"Do you think he'd tell you when he goes abroad?"
Du Long thought for a while, then stared at You Feng inquisitively. "You seem to be defending him?"
You Feng coughed lightly, turned around, and poured himself a cup of tea. "No, it's just the truth."
"..." Du Long felt that You Feng seemed a bit strange, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. He had to back down. "Fine, then continue your investigation. Inform me as soon as you have any news."
"Okay."
Du Long had been looking for Su Yuze because he had disappeared for four days and was very likely the one who had abducted his subordinates. It seemed that besides Su Yuze, he couldn't think of anyone else. Now Du Long began to suspect that maybe Su Yuze had seen through his intentions. If that was the case, he would be really terrifying.
"Boss, do you want to..." A bodyguard in black looked at Du Long in front of him. Sensing the powerful and oppressive aura emanating from him, he felt as if he couldn't breathe.
"What?" Du Long gave him a cold look.
"I..." The bodyguard in black had a look of determination. "I was wondering if you'd like to have dinner. It's already very late, and you haven't eaten anything yet. For your health, I think I should ask. But you seem to be in a bad mood."
Du Long angrily threw a goblet at his subordinate and glared at him. "Eat, eat, eat. All you know is to eat! Can't you see I'm not in the mood?" How could he be in the mood to eat?
"Yes..." The bodyguard in black lowered his head and replied meekly. The boss was really angry. It was better to just go along with him.
The suite fell into a deathly silence again. Du Long looked at his phone. No, he still had to check. He was starting to doubt You Feng's integrity. "You, go and find out if You Feng really went to the police station today."
"Yes."
He didn't believe that there could be anyone else besides Su Yuze. You Feng was clearly defending Su Yuze, which really bothered Du Long. If You Feng was really lying to him, then he wouldn't be polite!
...
The bodyguard was very efficient. By noon the next day, he had already come back with the answer. "Boss, I've found out. You Feng did go to the police station." He tried to hold back his laughter. "And he was scolded by the captain." Although he didn't know exactly what they had argued about, You Feng was indeed severely criticized by Ren Bai. In the end, You Feng left the police station with a livid face.
Du Long's face darkened. He really did go to the police station? He wasn't lying to him? But... why did he still feel something was off? Was he just being too suspicious?
"Boss?" The bodyguard in black looked at Du Long, who was deep in thought, with a puzzled expression.
"Nothing. You can go," Du Long said irritably. He took out a cigar and smoked a few puffs silently, but soon he threw the cigar on the ground and stepped on it barefoot to put it out. This was the first time Du Long felt anxious. He was just a young man in his twenties. Why should he be worried? Su Yuze was just his elder brother's son. His elder brother was already dead. How could he be afraid of his descendant? It didn't make sense!
"Have you found Su Yuze?" Du Long asked gloomily, changing the subject.
"No, boss. Su Yuze hasn't been seen for almost a week," the bodyguard standing behind Du Long replied.
A week... What on earth was Su Yuze up to?
This was really strange. Disappearing for so long, he must be up to some dirty tricks. Du Long became more and more impatient as he waited. This feeling of the enemy being in the dark while he was in the open was really uncomfortable, because he didn't know when he would be framed by the enemy.
"Call You Feng here," Du Long said to his subordinate, feeling extremely uncomfortable sitting there.
"Okay."
You Feng was quickly brought in. When he saw Du Long's angry face, he couldn't help but feel a little scared. Did Du Long see through something? With Du Long's suspicious nature, it was inevitable that he would be suspected. But even so, You Feng couldn't show that he was too guilty, or Du Long would definitely notice.
"Du Long, why did you call me again?" You Feng asked casually.
"What has Su Yuze been up to recently? Why hasn't he been seen for almost a week?" Du Long asked. "What on earth is he doing?"
"Su Yuze?" You Feng looked at him strangely. "Except for the first three days, he's been going to work. How can you say he hasn't been seen?"
"Going to work?" Du Long's expression turned cold. "I didn't know that."
"Because Su Yuze has been at the Su Group recently. Don't you know? Su Yuze not only owns Shengshi but also the Su Group," You Feng said expressionlessly.
The Su Group... Du Long felt a surge of anger in his chest. So he wasn't deliberately hiding but just changed his workplace. Wasn't this just making a fool of him?
