Chapter 968 Who Are You Calling a Toad

He had never met the man, nor did he have any clues.

Jiang Nuan slowly shook her head, saying thoughtfully, "We haven't found out, but he won't give up. He should look for me again after some time. When he contacts me next, I should know who he is. He urgently needs Ji Dan to regulate his body. I'm out now, so he should make a move."

Mu Jiuchen frowned, looking at her with a little worry about her subtle thoughts, "Are you trying to lure the snake out of its hole?"

Jiang Nuan's expression was unreadable.

She smiled cryptically, "No need to lure the snake out of its hole; he'll come knocking on his own. He's just an immature young man, so you don't need to worry."

Mu Jiuchen thought of the content of that text message. How could he not worry?

Was that something an immature young man would say?

This made him very curious about their previous conversation.

"Did you talk about anything last time?" he asked, narrowing his eyes.

"Heh heh..." Jiang Nuan recalled the last incident and couldn't help but laugh out loud, "I told him he wasn't capable, and he got angry."

Mu Jiuchen: "..." No wonder.

"Be careful," Mu Jiuchen kissed her lips and then left.

This meeting was very important, and he couldn't stay any longer.

Jiang Nuan looked at his hurried back with a touch of heartache.

She also tidied herself up; she was going out for a stroll.

At the door, she ran into Li Fengyu.

Li Fengyu looked a bit anxious and said to Jiang Nuan, "President Jiang, Secretary Tong took three days off a couple of days ago. Today is the fourth day, and she hasn't returned to work. I called her, but no one answered. Could something have happened?"

Jiang Nuan frowned and asked, "When she took leave before, did she call or send a message?"

"She sent a message, saying something happened at home and asked for three days off. I've called her several times today, but I still couldn't get through, so I'm afraid something might have happened." Li Fengyu had a good relationship with her.

She was very concerned!

Jiang Nuan thought about the recent disappearances of women and asked, "Does Secretary Tong live alone here?"

Li Fengyu thought about Secretary Tong's personal matters, "She's from Jinshi City and usually works here alone. She recently had a boyfriend, but they broke up. She should be living alone now."

Jiang Nuan suddenly had a bad premonition. The women who had disappeared before were all single: "Send me her phone number and address. I'll go to her place."

"Okay..." Li Fengyu sent the address and number to Jiang Nuan.

Jiang Nuan copied the number and put it into a special software to search for its location, saying, "Her phone number shows she's outside the city, not at her residence."

Li Fengyu was confused. As far as she knew, Secretary Tong had no relatives here?

Could it be that something really happened?

Jiang Nuan sent a message to Han Yixuan.

[Were the girls who disappeared before sent out of the city?]

Han Yixuan quickly replied: [Nuan Nuan, it's very chaotic. Each woman appeared in a different location.]

Jiang Nuan mused, then said to Li Fengyu, "I'll investigate this matter. You go back to work."

"Okay, President Jiang." Li Fengyu went back to her work with peace of mind.

Jiang Nuan went downstairs and got into the driver's seat before calling Han Yixuan.

"Nuan Nuan."

"Is the girl I sent to you earlier still by your side?"

Han Yixuan: "Yes, to ensure her safety, we arranged accommodation for her."

Jiang Nuan continued to ask, "Have you had any contact with her during this time, or does she know about our activities?"

Han Yixuan asked doubtfully, "Nuan Nuan, what do you mean..."

Jiang Nuan looked out the car window and said, "I'm just suspecting. If she lied to us, we'll be very passive. And that day, coincidentally, why did she happen to get into my car?"

Some things couldn't help but make one overthink.

Han Yixuan said, "Nuan Nuan, since she moved into the accommodation we arranged, I haven't contacted her. It shouldn't be."

Jiang Nuan frowned; she believed Han Yixuan's words.

"Our company's secretary can't be reached. I suspect something might have happened to her. I checked her address, and it's outside the city. I'm going to check it out now. If I get any news, I'll contact you immediately."

Han Yixuan quickly cautioned her, "Nuan Nuan, you must be careful. These people are more vicious than we imagine, and their methods are very cruel. They specifically target single women. As for what they do with them, we haven't found out yet, but from the clues we've gathered, these women are all sent to engage in terrible transactions."

Jiang Nuan's expression turned solemn. Every word Han Yixuan spoke made her heart waver.

"I will be careful, you don't need to worry about me," Jiang Nuan hung up the phone and drove to the address outside the city.

Chengdong New Village.

Upon arrival, Jiang Nuan sent a message to Mu Jiuchen, informing him about the possible incident involving the secretary.

Mu Jiuchen was in a meeting and did not see her message.

Following the location on her phone, Jiang Nuan arrived at a hotel.

Secretary Tong's phone was located here.

Jiang Nuan glanced at the entrance of Hexing Hotel. It looked old, with dated decor. A security guard stood at the entrance.

She drew an ugly disguise in her car before getting out and booking a room on Secretary Tong's floor.

The front desk staff gave her a room and a key, telling her to take the elevator up herself.

She was so ugly that even the staff didn't want to look at her any longer.

As soon as Jiang Nuan entered the hotel, she felt the atmosphere was a bit strange.

She sent her location to Han Yixuan.

Then she got into the elevator and looked at her unfamiliar reflection in the mirror, startled by how ugly she had made herself.

Jiang Nuan shook her head and chuckled. It was good; it would save her a lot of trouble.

Arriving on the fourth floor, Jiang Nuan stepped out of the elevator and saw two men in suits walking towards her.

One of the men saw Jiang Nuan and couldn't help but comment, "This woman is really ugly, but her figure is great."

The other man chuckled lewdly and agreed, "That waist looks so soft, so comfortable."

Jiang Nuan: "!!"

She looked at the two men with icy eyes.

"Hmph! Ugly woman, what are you looking at? We're admiring your figure; that's your fortune." The man looked at Jiang Nuan unfriendly and became enraged.

Jiang Nuan slightly stretched her wrists. She hadn't properly exercised her muscles for some time.

Today was a good opportunity to try her hand with these two.

She had come here alone and was not afraid of these people.

She had made ample preparations when she came up.

"Gentlemen, you were both born to your parents. Keep your mouths clean. You yourselves look like toads, yet you have the nerve to criticize others?"

The man, filled with humiliation, roared, "Toad, who are you calling a toad?"
