After the scumbag cheated on me, I turned around and married the heir to a wealthy family.

Huo Jingcheng looked at Assistant Chen and said, "Tell us everything you found out at once."

"Yes." Assistant Chen said, "There is no sign of the Wu Ma craftsman in any of the hotel's surveillance cameras. The last sign of him was in the surveillance video on the road leading to the bathroom."

Huo Jingcheng asked, "Did you find any unusual traces around the bathroom?"

Assistant Chen shook his head. "We sent someone to investigate, and there was no trace of anything there. And the nearest box also said they didn't hear any sound."

If Wu Ma was taken away by force, there would be certain traces of fighting and arguing left behind.

And if no traces were left, could it be proved that Wu Ma left voluntarily?

However, this result does not match other findings from the current investigation.

If someone leaves voluntarily, why would they deliberately hide their figure and existence?

These two completely different conclusions made Huo Jingcheng frown.

"Could he have been drugged?" Zhu Jin suggested.

If he was drugged or threatened by other means and had to leave, he would not be able to leave any other traces, and those who deliberately wanted to take him away would of course choose to hide their whereabouts.

Assistant Chen nodded. "What the Second Madam said is also possible. We are currently investigating other surveillance cameras in the hotel, especially the situation in the underground garage."

"If you need anything, go find Smith and ask him for help." Huo Jingcheng ordered.

Assistant Chen was stunned for a moment, then quickly lowered his head to hide the surprise in his eyes.

You know, Huo Jingcheng's cooperation talks with Smith just broke down. According to his previous habits, there is absolutely no possibility of cooperating with Smith again in the short term.

As a result, this time Huo Jingcheng took the initiative to seek help from Smith?

This was definitely beyond Assistant Chen's expectations and cognition.

"Yes." Assistant Chen agreed.

Zhu Jin dialed Wu Ma's cell phone number again, but the call kept ringing until it automatically hung up and no one answered.

Wu Ma is not the type of person who would ignore the phone and disappear for no reason.

This also made Zhu Jin particularly worried.

"Don't worry. It's okay." Huo Jingcheng gently patted the back of her hand, then cast a look at Assistant Chen, who quickly retreated.

Assistant Chen felt that if he couldn't deal with this matter quickly, he might have to say goodbye to his year-end bonus again.

Zhu Jin frowned, "Could it be that he was captured because of me?"

Logically speaking, no one would choose to target a craftsman.

In previous years, it was designers who had problems at the Hibiscus Awards.

This is also a big reason why Zhu Jin is worried.

In the past, there were many people who attacked designers after competitions. Some of them were seeking cooperation, while others simply wanted to coerce or bribe the designers.

"Nothing will happen."

Huo Jingcheng's deep voice soothed the woman in front of him, and his large palm gently patted her back.

"I'll take care of everything."

"Um……"

Zhu Jin responded in a dull voice.

……

The news about Wu Ma came late at night.

At this time, Huo Jingcheng had just coaxed Zhu Jin to sleep.

He took his cell phone and walked to another room before answering the call.

"Second Master, we found the person." Assistant Chen tried his best to slow down his rapid breathing. "But the situation is not good."

Huo Jingcheng frowned.

Assistant Chen walked a few steps away and lowered his voice, trying his best to prevent others from hearing the conversation.

"The other party used ruthless means on Wu Ma craftsman. His condition is very serious now. I have contacted the doctor to come over. The doctor will be able to give a detailed assessment of his injuries."

"Yes." Huo Jingcheng said, "Send me a message if there is any situation."

"Yes."

Just before hanging up the phone, Assistant Chen asked hesitantly, "Second Master, should we tell the Second Madam about this?"

Huo Jingcheng pursed his lips and looked at the dark night outside the window, which was so dark that it seemed like water could drip.

"No need."

……

"Uma!"

Zhu Jin sat up, hugging the quilt, her whole body covered in cold sweat, and she was gasping for breath.

This was the look on Zhu Jin's face that Huo Jingcheng saw when he came in with breakfast. He put the plate of breakfast in his hand on the bedside table, and without saying a word, he simply embraced the person and gently patted the other's back with his big hand.

"Any news?" Zhu Jin clutched the clothes on Huo Jingcheng's chest tightly and looked up at him.

Huo Jingcheng's hand that was patting her back paused when he heard this, and then continued to pat her gently twice as if nothing had happened, "No."

"Um……"

"If there is any news, I will inform you as soon as possible." Huo Jingcheng said.

Zhu Jin's next sentence was incoherent, but it made Huo Jingcheng's back stiffen.

"I only like you. Wu Ma and I are just partners, so I hope you can tell me as soon as possible if there is any news about him." Zhu Jin said seriously.

"I feel like he got into trouble because of me, so I feel guilty about it, but only guilty."

Huo Jingcheng asked back, "What did you know?"

Zhu Jin raised his head and Huo Jingcheng lowered his head, and their eyes met.

And, Huo Jingcheng happened to see the tears in Zhu Jin's eyes. He felt as if the string in his heart was being tightly pulled, as if it would break in the next second.

"The person has been found."

After a long sigh, Huo Jingcheng decided to tell the truth and no longer hide it.

"But his condition is very serious. I have asked Assistant Chen to rush him to the best hospital for treatment."

Zhu Jin tightened his grip on Huo Jingcheng's chest, "Is his life... in danger?"

"No." Huo Jingcheng shook his head, "I was just injured. The other party was particularly ruthless to Wu Ma's men."

Zhu Jin's pupils suddenly dilated.

"But fortunately, Assistant Chen was found in time. The hospital performed emergency treatment last night and said that there is no big problem and he will still be able to engage in craftsman activities in the future." Huo Jingcheng explained to others as much as possible.

Zhu Jin's heart, which had been hanging in his throat, suddenly dropped.

She thought Wu Ma's life was in danger, so Huo Jingcheng was unwilling to tell her.

"Then why didn't you tell me?" Zhu Jin asked.

"I just want him to contact you directly after he wakes up. This will also prevent you from having any random thoughts."

Zhu Jin curled his lips, "Just tell me the truth directly, and I won't let my imagination run wild."

Huo Jingcheng tapped the man's forehead. "Really? I think, no matter how detailed I tell you, you will doubt whether I am hiding something, or whether Wu Ma has not been found yet, right?"

Having his thoughts exposed, Zhu Jin playfully stuck out his tongue at the person and said, "No way."

"Don't worry, if there is any situation, I will tell you as soon as possible." Huo Jingcheng said, "Assistant Chen is also investigating the person who kidnapped Wu Ma and attacked him."
