He called Gu Xiao countless times along the way, but no one answered. Xue Yifeng grabbed Fu Jingyuan:

"What's going on? Tell me now."

"Master Feng, Lou Ren Club has been busy recently. No one knows why Master Xiao came here without anyone today. The driver died on the spot. Master Xiao..."

"What about Gu Jue? Why can't I get through to him?"

Fu Jingyuan: "Master Jue was sent abroad by Master Xiao two days ago to deal with the remaining problems of Yan Lusheng in Southeast Asia. The terrain there is complicated and we cannot contact him for the time being."

Just at this moment, Gu Jue had just left and Gu Xiao had an accident... Xue Yifeng saw the severity of the damage to the front of the car and the two pools of blood on the ground, and his heart sank.

Fu Jingyuan was calm, steady and cautious. He blocked the news immediately. After collecting all the information and evidence, he cleaned up the scene. Xue Yifeng followed him back to Lou Renhui, anxiously waiting for the blood test results.

It was almost midnight when Fu Jingyuan walked into the office with the test report. Xue Yifeng hurried over and asked anxiously:

"What does the report say?"

Fu Jingyuan said with a heavy face:

"Two samples of blood, one of which belongs to the deceased driver, and the other, which has been verified, is indeed Mr. Xiao's, and it contains..."

"What's in there? Tell me now."

Fu Jingyuan looked at him: "Potassium nitrate was also detected in the blood."

Xue Yifeng suddenly opened his eyes wide, his voice trembling:

"You mean Gu Xiao was shot?"

I took the report from his hand without giving up. Every word there told the cold truth.

Xue Yifeng's body was shaking slightly and his throat was dry. The two pieces of paper were like a huge rock, pressing down on him and making it hard for him to breathe. He took two steps back in dizziness.

Fu Jingyuan's strong hands wrapped around his waist from behind, helped him sit on the sofa, and he did not leave, always supporting him from behind.

"Master Feng, don't be too sad. As long as Master Xiao hasn't been found, there is still hope."

Xue Yifeng looked back and grabbed Fu Jingyuan's hand as if he had grabbed a piece of driftwood: "Really? Gu Xiao is okay, right?"

Crystal tears hung on his long eyelashes, tears welled up in the boy's eyes. He regarded himself as his only hope and longed for an answer. At that moment, Fu Jingyuan looked directly into Xue Yifeng's eyes and saw his fragility and helplessness.

When he reacted, he had already hugged the person tightly with heartache: "Well, don't be afraid."

And me, Fu Jingyuan's heart was burning hot. In this silent night, in the empty office, the thoughts that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time finally surged out.

But the boy in his arms only stayed for a moment, then covered his eyes with his hands, pushed him away, leaned on the sofa, and said weakly:

"I want to be alone, please go out first"

Fu Jingyuan looked at him deeply and clenched his hands: "Okay, call me if you have anything, I'm always here"

After the door was closed for a long time, Xue Yifeng silently picked up the phone and made a call...

Half a month had passed and the news spread like wildfire. Although the outside world didn't know about it yet, people inside the Lou Ren Club already knew about Gu Xiao's disappearance. Even the fact that he was shot was spread in great detail. Some senior executives could no longer sit still and suggested appointing an acting president to arrange the affairs of the club while continuing to search for Gu Xiao's whereabouts.

Although Gu Jue cannot be contacted for the time being, excluding Gu Xiao, the other five can also be temporarily elected, but the most crucial thing is that the silver ring that Gu Xiao previously had, which managed Sihai City and the central and eastern area, not only did he not appoint anyone, even the whereabouts of the ring is temporarily unknown.

Fu Jingyuan had searched the villa three times, but still couldn't find the ring. He couldn't help but look at the person standing by the window and asked again:

"Master Feng, think about it again. Have you really never seen that ring in Master Xiao's place?"

Xue Yifeng turned around and looked at him quietly for a while:

"I've said it many times. Master Xiao never said anything. Besides, it's just a ring. Why do you care so much?"

Fu Jingyuan loosened his tie in annoyance and explained without thinking:

"That ring was passed down from Master Xiao's father, and it represents the direct lineage. Although the territory and power are the same, the status in the hearts of those old guys is different.

The Lou Ren Society is most concerned with inheritance, so if you suddenly remember any clues, you must tell me. This is also for the purpose of helping Master Xiao protect the Lou Ren Society when he is not around."

Xue Yifeng nodded gently and moved his gaze back to the window: "Well, I haven't seen it. When will you let me out?"

Fu Jingyuan looked at his delicate profile and was about to say something when his phone rang. He could only quickly say to Xue Yifeng:

"Master Feng, I will take you out after the election of the acting president tomorrow. You must understand that I am doing this to protect you. Those people will do anything to find the whereabouts of the ring."

After saying this, Fu Jingyuan went out to answer the phone.

From the window, he saw him walking into the courtyard with a phone, shouting orders. After hanging up, he left in a majestic manner with several Lou Renhui's men. Looking at his receding back, Xue Yifeng's eyes flashed with disdain.

The second day was a cloudy and rainy day. Continuous drizzle floated in the air, making this winter seem even more damp and cold.

Fu Jingyuan and three other directors sat at the round table in the second floor hall to vote. These three directors were all old men in Lou Ren Club in their fifties, and had served as important officials under Gu Qiyong for their entire lives. One of them looked at Fu Jingyuan and said:

"Director Fu, the whereabouts of the silver ring is unknown. Would it be too much of a stretch for you to hold an election now?"

Fu Jingyuan no longer looked like the butler he used to be. Instead, he sat there sternly with sharp eyes:

"Director Sun, I am doing this for the sake of the association. After all, Mr. Gu fell ill after hearing that the president was shot and disappeared. There are so many things to do in the association. If you really have any objections, you can also declare that you will abstain."

"you......"

When Sun Xiu heard him say this, he was so angry that his eyes were glaring like an ox, but he was held down by Wei Rucheng next to him, who gave him a look that warned him not to act rashly.

Fu Jingyuan took everything in and lit a cigarette with a sneer. At this moment, the door to the hall opened and dozens of thugs in black suits walked in quickly with guns and stood behind Fu Jingyuan.

Wei Rucheng frowned: "Fu Jingyuan, what are you doing?"

Fu Jingyuan didn't say anything. Zhang Wei next to him stood up.

"Old Wei, Old Sun, why can't you see the situation clearly? The president is in danger. Do you really want Lou Ren to fall into chaos? I agree that Director Fu should be the acting president."

Sun Xiu and Wei Rucheng glared at them, but when they saw the loaded guns on the opposite side, they fell silent for a moment.

Seeing this, Fu Jingyuan stood up, straightened his suit, and was about to speak when suddenly a voice came from outside the door.

“Election, I want to participate too”
