The unscrupulous system forced me to frantically test the small black room

Gong Cheng received an anonymous email containing a photo of Tao Zhi lying on the bed with his shoulders exposed, obviously without any clothes on. There were also some suspicious bruises on his neck, which were particularly eye-catching.

Tao Zhi appears to be unconscious in the photo.

The email was captioned, "Tao Zhi tastes really good."

In addition to the photos and text there is also an address.

Gong Cheng jumped up from his desk without any hesitation, picked up his coat and rushed out of the office, just in time to bump into a female employee who was delivering documents.

"Give me a day off."

Gong Cheng said this hastily and ran out, leaving the female employee to steady herself in confusion.

"You didn't say how long it would take."

He must be in such a hurry to meet Assistant Tao, the female employee thought.

Gong Cheng didn't have time to go to the underground garage to drive, so he hailed a taxi on the road and went straight to the address in the email.

On the way, Gong Cheng kept calling Tao Zhi, but no one answered.

Has the gentleman been kidnapped?

Or is this actually a new method that the gentleman has come up with to discredit himself?

But why would you send this email to yourself alone?

Is the photo real or fake?

The address is in the suburbs far away from the downtown area, where only some abandoned and dilapidated factories and warehouses remain.

Even though Gong Cheng knew that something was wrong, he still had to rush over in a hurry.

Arriving at the designated warehouse, Gong Cheng stepped in. There was no one around him. There was only a table in the center of his vision, and there was a box on the table.

Gong Cheng stood in front of the table. There was a photo of Tao Zhi on the box. The picture showed that the quilt was opened, and Tao Zhi was naked with bruises all over his chest, as if he had experienced an intense pleasure.

Gong Cheng's eyes turned red and veins suddenly bulged.

This box is an obvious trap, but Gong Cheng still chooses to open it.

The moment the box was opened, Gong Cheng felt a lingering fragrance in his mouth and nose, and then he felt weak all over and dizzy.

Gong Cheng supported himself on the table with his hands to keep himself standing, but his vision was blurry and his brain seemed unable to think.

Gong Cheng took out his cell phone from his pocket tremblingly and dialed the police. The moment the call was connected, Gong Cheng fell to the ground in embarrassment and the phone rolled out of his hand.

"Hello, how can I help you with the police?"

When the voice came from the phone, Gong Cheng's ears were ringing. He opened his mouth several times but couldn't utter a word. The person on the phone asked several times but got no response.

There were footsteps coming closer and closer, stopping in front of him.

However, Gong Cheng did not have the strength to raise his head to see the man's face clearly. He could only vaguely see him bending down to pick up the phone.

The police on the phone was still confirming and asking questions over and over again, and the man hung up.

Gong Cheng's consciousness was fading, his vision was getting darker and darker, his eyes had lost their luster, he could only feel the other person picking him up, with extremely gentle movements, and then walking out with relaxed steps.

A man who can easily carry me and walk?

Gong Cheng lost the ability to think and fell into darkness.

This strange call attracted the attention of the police.

Although there are indeed some bored people who call and don't say anything after the call is connected as a prank, the operator described faintly hearing sounds like footsteps on the phone.

I called back several times but no one answered. I located the phone address and found it was in an uninhabited suburb.

With a suspicious attitude, the police retrieved the identity information of the owner of the number and found that the owner of the number was Gong Cheng, a celebrity who had been on the city's hot search recently.

The police immediately became alert, as the call sounded very much like a call for help, so they sent people to Gong Cheng’s residence, company, and warehouse where the phone was located to look for him.

After the police questioned her, the female employee gave a confused answer.

"Vice President Gong came to work in the morning, but went out for an urgent matter at noon and asked for leave." said the female employee.

"Do you know what it is specifically? Is it work-related?" the police asked.

"I am the one who arranges Vice President Gong's work schedule. There are no meetings for partners in the afternoon. I guess he is going to meet Assistant Tao." said the female employee.

"Assistant Tao? Is he the Tao Zhi who was on the trending search?" the police asked.

"Oh, what happened?" the female employee asked puzzledly.

The police did not explain the situation directly, but only vaguely said it was a routine investigation, and then turned around and contacted other police officers to check on Tao Zhi.

It turned out that Tao Zhi's whereabouts could not be found.

When the police came to inquire, they were received by Tao Zhi's nanny, who enthusiastically served tea and water, but then knew nothing about any of the questions.

The police had no choice but to go to Tao Zhi's father's house again and briefly described the disappearance of Tao Zhi and Gong Cheng. They did not directly mention the suspicion that Tao Zhi had kidnapped Gong Cheng.

"My little son is missing? He said a few days ago that he was going to travel to relax, how come there was a misunderstanding about him going missing?"

"You mean he disappeared with that kid Gong Cheng? Hey, the brat finally came to his senses and took Gong Cheng out on a trip with him?"

Taoci was still laughing as he spoke.

"We suspect that your son was involved in the kidnapping of Mr. Gong. Just yesterday, Mr. Gong called the police and then disappeared," the police said helplessly.

"Kidnapping? Who is kidnapping whom? Is my son kidnapping Gong Cheng?"

"That's not true. I thought you were joking with me when you said that."

"You don't know how much Gong Cheng likes my son. He comes to me as soon as my son waves. Is it necessary to kidnap him?" Taoci smiled and took a sip of tea.

"The information we learned online seems to be inconsistent with what you said."

"I heard that it was your son who had been harassing Mr. Gong for a long time, and when his marriage proposal was rejected, he even beat Mr. Gong in front of the guests," said the police.

Upon hearing this, Taoci shook his head mysteriously.

Amid everyone's puzzled gazes, Taoci took out a thick photo album from the drawer, flipped to the photo he was looking for and handed it over.

The photo seems to be a family portrait taken on New Year's Eve. In it, Gong Cheng, with a young face, is smiling and standing side by side with Tao Zhi, with the love overflowing in his eyes frozen in the picture.

There are three such family portraits, taken on every New Year's Eve during the three years when Tao Zhi and Gong Cheng were together.

"These two children have been going through a lot of separation and reunion for six years. Our two families became relatives six years ago, and I have long regarded Gong Cheng as my daughter-in-law."

"Things taken out of context on the Internet cannot be trusted."

"If you say that Gong Cheng kidnapped my son because he loved him, I can believe it to a certain extent. But if you say that my son kidnapped Gong Cheng, I can laugh about it as a joke with my old friends for three days when we are drinking." Taoci said.

The police investigation has reached an impasse and everything is just speculation at this point.

Gong Cheng had been missing for less than 48 hours and no one had reported it to the police. Tao Zhi's father insisted that the two had gone out traveling together.

However, after checking, it was found that there was no record of the two people traveling together.

The only clue to the kidnapping now is the police call located at a suburban waste warehouse.

The police have conducted a thorough search of the warehouse and found nothing suspicious, but this is precisely the most suspicious part.

However, there is no conclusive evidence to prove the "kidnapping" at the moment, and since no one has reported the case, the police are forced to temporarily put the investigation on hold in order to avoid wasting police resources.
