Lin Zhiming didn't know that Zhao Meng was eagerly waiting for him to send him a message to coax him. He had his own plans, so even if he knew that Zhao Meng was sad, Lin Zhiming would not call to comfort her.
A night of silence.
The next day, Lin Zhiming got up early to attend the launch ceremony of "The Rise of the Tyrant Son".
Spear is a resolute director. After scouting the location for a few days and confirming that the TV series would be shot in the Jin-Min province, he directly held the opening ceremony.
Because Ye Shan attracted huge attention before, the biggest media outlets in the country were all present at the opening ceremony this time.
The Weibo topic list was dominated by Ye Shan and the TV series early in the morning, and the popularity is endless.
The appearance of Lin Zhiming pushed the opening ceremony to a high level. The reporters at the scene kept pressing the shutter of their cameras.
Since Lin Zhiming was dismissed from office more than half a month ago, he has not appeared in the public eye again. This appearance is Lin Zhiming's first appearance in more than half a month, attracting the attention of countless people.
However, Lin Zhiming disappeared after the opening ceremony, and no one knew where he went.
Strait City, East Lake.
Lin Zhiming came here after leaving the launch ceremony.
This is one of Lin Zhiming's fishing bases. The other place is Xiao West Lake. However, Lin Zhiming has been kicked out of Xiao West Lake by people from the West Lake Management Committee many times, so he now fishes here in East Lake.
The good thing about East Lake is that no one chases them away, but the bad thing is that there are relatively few fish here, and the smell is also bad.
Lin Zhiming found a place to put down the fish guard, prepared the bait, then swung the fishing rod and started waiting.
There was an umbrella behind him, which blocked the sun from the sky and prevented him from getting tanned.
There were several people fishing not far from him, but they were mostly old men.
Lin Zhiming yawned. There was no movement from the fish float for the time being, so he simply picked up his phone and opened WeChat.
As always, WeChat has many messages from people. Because he appeared in public today, many people are asking him about the TV series.
Lin Zhiming didn't want to answer these questions, so he directly scrolled down the chat page.
After scrolling for a while, Lin Zhiming suddenly saw Xiao Ling's profile picture.
Because the function of not reminding Xiao Ling was set up, Lin Zhiming’s authority would not be prompted even if Xiao Ling sent a message.
Lin Zhiming didn't intend to click on the message Xiao Ling sent to him, but prestige is what it is. Part of the last message the other party sent you will be displayed next to your avatar.
It was this part of the content that surprised Lin Zhiming, because this part of the content was "The other party has canceled the video call request with you."
In the past, no matter how many messages Xiao Ling sent a day, she would never try to have a voice or video connection with herself, but last night she actually sent herself a video and voice connection, which was a bit strange.
So Lin Zhiming directly clicked on Xiao Ling's chat box.
There were hundreds of messages displayed in the chat box, but Lin Zhiming only looked at the last few messages sent to him.
"Idol, someone was arguing with my dad downstairs. It was so violent."
"They seemed to be fighting, crackling, and I was thinking about whether to call the police. After thinking about it, I decided not to. My dad said that our family can't fight with the police."
"There's no sound downstairs, I don't know what happened."
"I'll go take a look at the stairs."
"I saw a lot of people I didn't know coming upstairs."
"The other party canceled the video call request with you."
"The other party canceled the video call request with you."
"The other party canceled the video call request with you."
The last three messages were exactly the same, proving that Xiao Ling had tried to make video calls with him three times, but they were automatically canceled because there was no response from him.
The time of these three canceled video request messages was 11:30 last night.
Lin Zhiming's expression changed slightly, and he intuitively felt that something had happened to Xiao Ling, so Lin Zhiming sent a voice and video call request to Xiao Ling.
After more than ten seconds, the call request was automatically canceled because no one answered the call for a long time.
Lin Zhiming quickly exited the prestige page and called Xiao Qinglong.
The phone beeped, but no one answered.
Lin Zhiming pressed the phone and then called again.
This time no one answered the call.
Now Lin Zhiming was 100% sure that something had happened to Xiao Qinglong's family, and it was not a big deal.
Lin Zhiming decisively called Dong Jian.
"Go check Xiao Qinglong in Anxi City. I can't contact him here anymore. Let me ask someone to check what happened to him." Lin Zhiming said.
"Our manpower has been withdrawn from Anxi City. It may take about an hour to rush there from the nearest city," Dong Jian said.
"Then let someone contact the police in Anxi City to see if there were any cases in Anxi City last night, mainly involving gangs." Lin Zhiming said.
"I understand, we will make arrangements immediately, please wait a moment." Dong Jian said.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Zhiming frowned.
The fish float in the distance was already moving, but Lin Zhiming didn't care at all.
Xiao Qinglong once helped him. For this reason, he gave Xiao Qinglong a thumb ring as a token so that he could come to him if anything happened in the future. Unexpectedly, only a few months had passed, and Xiao Qinglong seemed to have encountered something big.
Time passed by, and the fish float in the distance was already lying sideways on the water.
An old fishing man came over. He stood next to Lin Zhiming's fishing position and looked around, and found that the young man who was fishing here just now had disappeared.
"Young people today really have no patience at all." The old man shook his head, then took the fishing rod back, and then kindly put away all the fishing gear, waiting for Lin Zhiming to come back to get it.
At this time, outside the East Lake, Lin Zhiming got into a Rolls-Royce with a phone in hand.
"Master, I just received news from the Anxi City Police. At about 11:30 last night, a vicious criminal case occurred in the Haitang Villa area of Anxi City. The owner of the villa, Xiao Qinglong, was killed in his own home. At the same time, others were killed.
His wife and several subordinates showed obvious signs of fighting at the scene." Dong Jian's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Both Xiao Qinglong and his wife are dead?" Lin Zhiming asked with a dark face.
"Yes, they are all dead, and they are now in the hands of the police for autopsy," Dong Jian said.
"What about Xiao Qinglong's daughter?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"Xiao Qinglong's daughter Xiao Ling is currently missing, and there is no news yet." Dong Jian said.
"Missing?" Lin Zhiming frowned. Both Xiao Qinglong and his wife were killed, but the daughter is missing. What is going on?
"In addition, there were many violent incidents in Anxi City from last night to early this morning, with many casualties. The police initially judged that local political forces were fighting for territory. It is not difficult to judge if these incidents are linked to the murder of Xiao Qinglong and his wife.
Xiao Qinglong may die in a fight between Jianghu and Jianghu," Dong Jian said.
"Continue to have people investigate, and send another group of people into Anxi City to investigate the local Jianghu forces in Anxi City." Lin Zhiming said.
"Yes!" Dong Jian said.
"I'm on my way to the airport now, and I expect to arrive in Anxi City in an hour and a half." Lin Zhiming said.
"Are you going by yourself?" Dong Jian asked in surprise.
"Xiao Qinglong has done something for me, even though it was just one thing, but he was killed and his daughter disappeared. I must personally investigate this matter to the end. If possible, try to rescue his daughter. If his daughter is still alive,
If you are alive." Lin Zhiming said.
"Okay, I understand." Dong Jian said.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Zhiming looked at the water in deep thought.
He did not expect that Xiao Ling's family would encounter such a disaster. In fact, some clues could be seen in the messages Xiao Ling sent to him a few days ago, but he did not take the messages Xiao Ling sent seriously.
That's why I didn't see these clues.
At this time, Lin Zhiming was a little annoyed. If he had not set Xiao Ling's message to avoid reminders, he might have received Xiao Ling's message for help last night.
More than ten hours have passed since last night, and Xiao Ling has also disappeared for more than ten hours, which undoubtedly greatly increases the difficulty of finding Xiao Ling.
Lin Zhiming boarded the plane with guilt in his heart and flew directly to Anxi City.
Anxi City is actually not far from Haikai City. It takes more than an hour to arrive by plane.
At twelve noon, Lin Zhiming's plane landed at Anxi Airport.
Lin Zhiming came out of the airport, and his men outside the airport had been waiting for a long time.
Black big cars parked outside the airport, and groups of men in black suits stood next to the big cars. The scene was extremely spectacular.
Lin Zhiming was out of shape. These big guys and the people in black suits all faced Lin Zhiming. They stood in front of Lin Zhiming and bowed and shouted, "Boss."
"Which one of you is leading the team?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"It's me, boss." A middle-aged man quickly walked up to Lin Zhiming.
"Boss, my name is Xu Guicai, you can call me Ah Cai." The middle-aged man introduced himself to Lin Zhiming.
"Okay, Ah Cai, have you done everything Dong Jian asked you to do?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"Well, what Mr. Dong told me has been settled. The location is set at the Shangri-La Hotel in Anxi City. We can go there now," Ah Cai said.
"Okay, let's go." Lin Zhiming nodded and then got into the car.
The vast motorcade headed for the Shangri-La Hotel in Anxi City.
Not long after, the motorcade drove into the parking lot of Shangri-La Hotel.
Lin Zhiming got off the car and walked into the Shangri-La Hotel accompanied by Ah Cai.
"The boss has opened the presidential suite upstairs for you, just come with me," Ah Cai said.
Lin Zhiming nodded and followed Ah Cai upstairs to the presidential suite on the top floor of Shangri-La Hotel.
