(Two-in-one chapter)

"Does Zhou Jiyao understand?" Ji Wenlan asked.

Dai Jialang shook his head and said, "Zhou Jiyao knew that Zhou Yubing had lost contact. I guess he was a little worried, but I don't expect him to report the case. I can't sit idly by."

Ji Wenlan hesitated: "If Zhou Jiyao chooses not to report the case, it is not easy for us to intervene directly. Although the public security organs belong to the same system, they are cross-provincial after all. If Hainan is required to conduct an investigation, they must coordinate through the Provincial Public Security Department. The 6th Bureau must nod in this matter."

"So you can't do anything?" Dai Jialang said annoyed.

Ji Wenlan hesitated and said, "Although Zhou Jiyao did not report the case, Zhou Yubing's behavior constituted absconding with the money. It is normal for him to lose contact. If you want to investigate, a case must be filed."

Dai Jialang said unhappily: "But the reality is not the case. I have met her and will come back soon. Is it normal for her to lose contact?"

Ji Wenlan was silent for a while and said, "If I don't cross the province, I can still check her whereabouts privately, but if we want to send someone to Hainan for investigation or let Hainan police investigate, then a case must be filed."

He paused and said, "Maybe he can report the case in the name of a hotel. Don't involve Zhou Yubing's absconding with the money. Just treat the population missing and let the Hainan police investigate."

Dai Jialang seemed to be very disappointed with Ji Wenlan and sat there in a depressed mood. Ji Wenlan asked: "What impact does Zhou Yubing's disappearance have on you?"

Dai Jialang did not answer Ji Wenlan's words, but snorted: "If I also disappeared one day, what impact will it have on you and Qi Fei? Do you also pretend that nothing is gone?"

Ji Wenlan hesitated for a while, stared at Dai Jialang and said, "I understand your feelings, but think about it yourself, can you control the affairs of Zhou Jiyao's family?

If Zhou Yubing's disappearance had nothing to do with Zhou Jiyao, I believe Zhou Jiyao would not sit idly by, but if this matter had something to do with him, Zhou Yubing would probably never come back.

Your duty is to keep a close eye on Zhou Jiyao. If Zhou Yubing disappears and has any involvement with him, then he will be done. To be honest, Zhou Yubing's incident has provided you with a rare opportunity."

Dai Jialang squirted out a mouthful of smoke and directly sprayed it on Ji Wenlan's face. He stared at her for a while, and snorted: "I originally thought you were a little human than Qi Fei, the thief. Now it seems that you are all birds of a feather, all cold-blooded animals.

In order to bring down Zhou Jiyao, anyone may become your victims. I think if this continues, Mei Xiangyue and I will become your cannon fodder sooner or later."

Ji Wenlan stared at Dai Jialang for a while, then suddenly held his hand and said, "I said, I understand your mood, I know you have feelings for Zhou Yubing.

But have you ever thought about it? She used to be Zhou Jiyao's daughter. She can be said to be the person Zhou Jiyao trusted the most. Now she suddenly became a person of unknown origin and ran away from home. This is tantamount to betrayal for Zhou Jiyao.

The most important thing is that Zhou Yubing may have evidence of Zhou Jiyao's crime. Do you think Zhou Jiyao can let her run away? He said he would not pursue the matter because he was worried about attracting the attention of the police. Who knows what he did in secret?"

Dai Jialang was held by Ji Wenlan and felt a little uncomfortable for a moment, but his energy was still focused on Zhou Yubing and said in surprise: "What? Do you suspect that Zhou Jiyao will kill her?"

Ji Wenlan stared at Dai Jialang and said, "Qi Fei has always suspected that you have some fantasy about Zhou Jiyao. I think her premonition is correct. Do you think Zhou Jiyao is not the kind of bad guy you imagined?

As you said just now, Zhou Jiyao regarded himself as the director of his life. No one could guess his plot thoroughly. I just talk about the facts. If there is such a possibility, you can think about it yourself.

Maybe, you can go to Zhou Jiyao to test it out, tell him your concerns about Zhou Yubing's safety, and persuade him to report the case quickly and see what he reacts. I guess he may not be too anxious."

Dai Jialang felt a little embarrassed by Ji Wenlan holding his hand, so he took the opportunity to pull it out and said reluctantly: "I have no fantasies about Zhou Jiyao, but until now, I have indeed not seen that he has done anything unforgivable.

To put it bluntly, he seems to be more humane than you. I don’t believe that he will kill Zhou Yubing, nor do I believe that Jiang Biyun will agree to him doing this.

If you believe that Zhou Jiyao killed someone and set fire, why do you want me, an undercover agent? As long as you don’t catch his evidence of his crime, you can’t describe him as a criminal.”

After saying these words, Dai Jialang suddenly felt that he was intending to defend Zhou Jiyao, but this was definitely not his intention.

In fact, he hoped that Zhou Jiyao would receive the punishment he deserved one day, but he couldn't explain clearly what kind of punishment it would be.

But in front of a policeman, his subconscious will unconsciously defend his biological father and feel that he has fulfilled his responsibilities for doing so. Of course, if Zhou Jiyao really does not forgive him, he will not protect him without principles.

As Ji Wenlan guessed, Zhou Jiyao didn't seem to be in a hurry after listening to Dai Jialang's report on Zhou Yubing's disappearance, but sat there lit a cigarette and fell into deep thought.

Dai Jialang had no choice but to continue: "The latest news is that Zhao Yang found the driver of the taxi that Mr. Zhou took. According to the driver, Mr. Zhou's final destination was a nightclub in Haikou City."

"Nightclub?" Zhou Jiyao finally spoke, "What did she do when she goes to the nightclub in broad daylight?"

Dai Jialang shook his head and said, "Mr. Zhou himself was a nightclub. Will he go to inspect or discuss any business? However, Zhao Yang showed Mr. Zhou's photos to several nightclub staff, but they all said they had never met Mr. Zhou."

"What's the name of this nightclub?" Zhou Jiyao asked.

Dai Jialang took out his cell phone and looked at it. Not long ago, Zhao Yang gave him a photo of the nightclub door. Judging from the photos, the size of this nightclub is not very large, and it is not as big as Zhou Yubing’s own nightclub in Nanzhao City.

"It's called Storm Nightclub, it's not big. I asked Zhao Yang to check who the owner of the nightclub is. I haven't received a reply yet." Dai Jialang said.

Zhou Jiyao didn't say anything for a while, and finally said to himself, "Did anyone fall in love with her money?"

Dai Jialang hesitated: "How many people know that she is carrying a huge sum of money? If it is for money, this matter should probably be related to Nanzhao City."

"Do you doubt who?" Zhou Jiyao asked.

Dai Jialang shook his head and said, "I don't have a specific suspect yet, but I basically concluded that something must have happened to Mr. Zhou. We should call the police immediately and let the police in Nanzhao City intervene in the investigation."

Zhou Jiyao waved his hand and said, "I said, you can't call the police for this matter."

Dai Jialang shook his head and said, "It may be too late. The hotel where Mr. Zhou stayed in had reported the case to the Hainan police at noon today."

"Who asked the case to report?" Zhou Jiyao stared at Dai Jialang and asked sternly.

Dai Jialang said helplessly: "We can't control this. Since someone is missing in the hotel, of course they have to report the case. However, the only missing case reported has nothing to do with the reason why President Zhou ran away."

Zhou Jiyao was silent for a while and said, "Do you think the police can find her by intervening? Reporting the case is likely to cost her life instead."

Dai Jialang was stunned and said, "Then we can't sit here and wait. It's been four days since then, and there is no news at all. Zhao Yang is not familiar with the place there and can't find a clue."

Zhou Jiyao waved his hand and organized Dai Jialang to continue talking, saying: "Since the hotel has reported the case, the police may have figured out Yu Bing's identity. I won't be able to think about it for long, and someone will call me. Maybe the media reporter is already on the way."

Dai Jialang then realized that Zhou Jiyao is a famous boss across the country, and his daughter's disappearance will naturally become the focus of the news. Maybe there will be reporters digging deeper into the deeper reasons behind this incident.

Once Zhou Yubing's life experience and absconding with money are exposed, it will immediately become a scandal and will definitely have a negative impact on the company and Zhou Jiyao. Perhaps this is why Zhou Jiyao has always been reluctant to call the police.

"Chairman, do you want me to go to Haikou?" asked Dai Jialang.

Zhou Jiyao waved his hand and said, "What's the use of going? Now the family members need to come forward. Only Biyun and I have to come forward for this matter. I will call Mei Xiangyue and ask me to accompany Biyun and go to Haikou. You inform Zhao Yang and ask him to pick him up at the airport."

He paused and said, "If the news reaches Nanzhao City, there will definitely be many reporters coming to me, and I will not see you."

In the past, Yu Houhong came to deal with those reporters whenever there was a crisis in the company. Now it’s your turn. In short, you must not reveal Yu Bing’s life experience and the reason for leaving with the money.

If a reporter mentioned this, he must avoid rumors immediately. Yubing went to Hainan just to inspect the business. The police are investigating other matters, so it is not convenient to disclose them."

Dai Jialang nodded quickly and said, "I understand the interests."

Zhou Jiyao stared at Dai Jialang and asked, "Do you think I don't care about Yu Bing's life or death if I don't call the police?"

Dai Jialang shook his head and said, "I don't mean that, the chairman naturally has his own difficulties."

Zhou Jiyao snorted and said, "Doubt? Is it just a problem? If I guessed correctly, the news of Yubing's life experience and the news of her leaving with the money would have been leaked long ago.

Now that she suddenly disappeared, this incident will immediately push me and the company to the forefront, and the police will definitely make full use of this incident to make a fuss.

And my competitors will naturally use this incident to fuel the fire. It is still unknown whether Yubing can be retrieved in the end, but the company will definitely go through a storm."

Dai Jialang hesitated and said, "Even if the police know Mr. Zhou's life experience and the reason for his departure, at least it has nothing to do with the chairman himself, right? What kind of article can the police do?"

Zhou Jiyao snorted and said, "You think it's simple. Yubing is an executive of the company, and the company controls two listed companies. Will the police leave with a huge sum of money and ignore it?

If they dig deeper, they will find that Yu Bing will copy the stocks of his company. This is an illegal act and will definitely bring me in. Next, it will be the danger of the domino effect."

To be honest, when Dai Jialang asked Zhao Yang to urge the hotel to call the police, he thought the most about Zhou Yubing's safety, and he didn't think so much about it. Now, after hearing what Zhou Jiyao said, I really feel that things are getting more and more complicated.

"Will the whole thing be a conspiracy?" Dai Jialang said cautiously.

Zhou Jiyao pondered for a while and said, "This possibility is not ruled out. In short, we must be mentally prepared. You have no experience in dealing with such things. If you have any questions, please ask Mr. Yu for advice."

Dai Jialang hurriedly said, "Mr. Yu doesn't like me very much. Can you say hello to her? In fact, I also want to learn more about crisis public relations from Mr. Yu."

Zhou Jiyao nodded and said, "What's the problem with this? Can you know that the term crisis public relations is already good. As long as you are humble, I believe Yu will help you."

He paused and said, "I'll call her here now. We need to study various possible crises. We must have an executable plan." After that, he picked up the internal phone on his desk and called Yu Houhong.

After all, Zhou Jiyao was scheming and thoughtful. The next day he said that the situation began to come. First, a local social media in Hainan reported that Zhou Yubing was missing in the resort hotel.

Then someone kept revealing Zhou Yubing's true identity in his comments. Not long after, the matter began to continue to ferment on the Internet.

However, it seems that the reason why Zhou Yubing ran away from home was not clear in Hainan, but at noon the next day, someone posted a post on a social platform in Nanzhao City.

I clearly explained Zhou Yubing's life experience and the incident of absconding with the money. I also added several photos of Zhou Yubing under this post. Fortunately, the photos were taken secretly when I was in a hotel before, and there was nothing indecent.

In the afternoon of that day, the company's administrative office's external contact number never stopped. Media of all sizes all called to inquire about this matter. Many reporters came to the company for interviews directly and were stopped outside by the security guard arranged by Dai Jialang.

"You have to find several representative media to be interviewed. If you don't have positive responses here, there will be more and more rumors." Yu Houhong taught Dai Jialang the first lesson.

Dai Jialang had no choice but to invite several influential local media reporters to the company as assistant to the chairman to hold a brief press conference. He first made an official statement according to the text he had discussed with Yu Houhong, and then accepted the reporter's question.

"May I ask, did Zhou Yubing absconded with the money? Is she really missing or hiding?" A female reporter asked loudly.

Dai Jialang stared at the female reporter for a while and said slowly: "What I said just now is very clear. Mr. Zhou intends to go to Hainan to run the entertainment industry. This time he is going there for an inspection. He is indeed in a state of loss of contact. The police have intervened in the investigation and we are also waiting for further news."

"Is Zhou Yubing the biological daughter of Zhou Jiyao and Jiang Biyun? There are rumors that she had had a paternity test before." Another reporter said loudly.

Dai Jialang smiled and said, "Since it's a rumor, I don't need to reply. I think everyone knows Zhou Yubing's life experience, and such rumors are not worth mentioning."

"If something happens to Zhou Yubing, will Zhou Yuting become Zhou Jiyao's successor?" another reporter asked.

Dai Jialang hesitated and said, "The chairman is healthy and energetic, so he should have not considered this issue yet."

Next, a group of reporters asked many questions about Zhou Yubing's life experience and the question of escaping with money. Dai Jialang blocked if he could, and pushed him if he could. If he couldn't answer, he would pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Finally, a female reporter asked: "Is it true that Zhou Yubing took away 500 million yuan in cash when she ran away?"

This is the first time a reporter mentioned that Zhou Yubing embezzled 500 million yuan in hotels. Obviously, the news from this reporter should come from internal members of the company, and outsiders cannot know the specific number.

"Where did you get this news?" Dai Jialang asked back.

The female reporter said: "I naturally have my own source of information. Is it true?"

Dai Jialang stretched out his finger and pointed at Yu Houhong, who had been sitting aside and said, "This is Yu Houhong, the company's general manager of finance. If Zhou Yubing took away 500 million yuan, she would not have known it."

When Yu Houhong saw Dai Jialang kicking the ball to her, she had to stand up and say, "I can only say that your question is nonsense. However, since Mr. Zhou is going out to inspect the business, he will naturally bring some money. Maybe she wants to buy a nightclub there. As for how much she takes away, there is no need to tell you."

After saying that, he pulled open the chair and said, "The conference ends here. If there is any progress in the matter, we will notify you as soon as possible, thank you."
