Chapter 1 Lu Guangwei's Disappearance

The news of Lu Guangwei's disappearance quickly spread throughout the camp. General Jose knew about it and immediately began an investigation. The soldiers on duty that night, Lu Guangwei's mistress, and two security personnel were all questioned.

The investigating officer discovered that those who shared a room with Lu Guangwei had needle marks on their bodies. After a medical examination at the hospital, it was found that there were traces of anesthetic drugs in their blood vessels.

At the same time, a client in the camp named Wu, and Lao Gui, the officer who liaised with him, had also disappeared... The matter was too complicated, and Old Jose couldn't hide it, so he had to send the news back to Dragon City.

…

To deal with this matter, and to appease several second-generation officials who were guests in the camp, Jiang Zheng had to make a trip himself to meet with General Old Jose.

Around three o'clock in the afternoon, the two sat in a spacious office. Jiang Zheng listened to the other party's narration, his face gloomy.

Old Jose, in his military uniform with graying temples, sat behind his desk and interjected, "We failed to fulfill our responsibility to protect him. We deeply regret this matter..."

Jiang Zheng waved his hand, suppressing the anger in his heart, and tried to keep his tone calm: "It was our own security responsibility that wasn't done well, causing you trouble, General Jose. I still have some things to deal with in Dragon City, so I'll go back first."

"Okay." Old Jose got up to see him off: "If there's anything you need help with in this matter, just tell me."

Jiang Zheng nodded and left the office. As he said, although the person was lost here, the responsibility did not lie entirely with Old Jose.

What's more, the business he did with Old Jose would bring huge wealth to the Jiang family. In this case, it would be unwise to get angry with him.

He could only suppress this anger in his stomach, forcing himself to endure it.

After leaving the office, Jiang Zheng saw those young people that Lu Guangwei had arranged here.

In fact, these people were all second-generation military officials from the Dragon City garrison. The scale of the families behind them was similar to that of the Jiang family.

Why didn't they stay in Dragon City and instead wanted to have a gathering here?

Actually, Jiang Zheng didn't want to leave any handles, and he didn't want the Tan family to overthink things. He ordered Lu Guangwei to arrange for everyone here, to build relationships, mainly so that he could get the support of these families in the future.

This kind of thing couldn't be brought out into the open. Communicating in Dragon City, first, there was no way to show the attractiveness of this business, and second, if Tan Mingchao found out, the relationship between the two parties might become even more delicate.

But unexpectedly, Lu Guangwei had just arrived here to entertain guests when something happened to him!

Jiang Zheng's face was cold, and his mood was low.

The fat man who had been talking and laughing with Lu Guangwei before was the first to squeeze over and asked, "Old Jiang, this Xiaowei...!"

"We'll talk about this slowly when we get back." Jiang Zheng said, "I've arranged a helicopter, let's go back to Dragon City together."

Several second-generation military officials were also scared out of their wits. They didn't dare to stay here any longer and nodded in agreement.

After everyone chatted for a few words, Jiang Zheng turned his head to look at the two trembling security soldiers, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.

One of them, covered in sweat, hurriedly explained, "Young Master Jiang, we already reminded him last night..."

"Shut up!" Jiang Zheng pointed at the two of them and reprimanded with a gloomy face, "Don't explain this nonsense! What is your duty? You didn't even know that two people were injected with anesthetics. What's the use of raising you with so much money?! A bunch of trash."

The two lowered their heads and dared not say another word.

After all, this was someone else's territory, surrounded by Old Jose's people. Jiang Zheng didn't reprimand them any further and turned around to lead everyone towards the helicopter.

Ten minutes later, a military helicopter took off into the sky.

…

On the way back, everyone sat in the cabin. Everyone had their own thoughts and didn't say a word.

About an hour later, the plane landed at a military airport on the outskirts of Dragon City. Several cars were already parked on the side of the runway, waiting to pick everyone up.

Before getting off the helicopter, Jiang Zheng glanced at the second-generation military officials and said, "You don't have to worry, although Xiaowei is gone, I know everything about what he discussed with you and the conditions he set. This business of ours..."

"Let's talk about the business later!" The fat man suddenly interjected, touching his face with lingering fear and replied, "Let's take care of Xiaowei's affairs first."

Jiang Zheng was stunned for a moment. Before he could speak, a young man next to him immediately said, "What business are we still doing? It's too damn scary! We were still sleeping, and the person was just gone! This... this is like a *Liao Zhai* story."

The young man named Lao Er also reached out and patted Jiang Zheng on the shoulder: "Brother, I understand what you mean. But, the relationship between the garrison and the administrative department is so complicated right now, let's talk about the business later. Everyone should go back first, so as not to worry the elders at home."

After hearing these people's words, Jiang Zheng frowned, clenched his fists, and felt a surge of irritability in his heart.

He knew very well that at this critical moment, Lu Guangwei's accident would only make them feel that the Jiang family was currently in the eye of the storm, and it was not suitable to get too close or have any cooperation.

Jiang Zheng pondered for a long time, forced a smile on his face, and replied, "Okay, no rush, we'll talk later!"

Everyone nodded, but didn't respond.

…

After leaving the airport, Jiang Zheng went directly to his father to report the current situation to him.

In the evening, the father and son returned to their own villa together.

As soon as the two walked to the entrance of the villa, they heard the sound of a middle-aged woman crying inside: "Xiaowei is always busy for the family, how could he encounter such a thing? Now that he's been arrested, what are we going to do? ... I heard it was the All-Systems Bureau who did it. This Su Tianyu is also too wicked. Why did he have to target my son? Sister-in-law, you have to help me think of a way. I only have this one son! It's being said outside that he's definitely going to be executed this time! If Xiaowei dies, then I won't live either...!"

The woman cried heart-wrenchingly, her voice extremely loud, making the atmosphere in the hall very serious.

Jiang Yuanzhen stood outside the door, hearing his sister crying inside, feeling extremely helpless and a little annoyed: "You go in... I'll stay at the command headquarters tonight."

After speaking, Jiang Yuanzhen turned around and walked back along the path.

Jiang Zheng looked at his father's somewhat staggering back and sighed softly.

He knew that the old man couldn't face his family members. Even if they met, what could he say?

After hesitating at the door for a while, Jiang Zheng braced himself and walked into the villa.

As soon as he entered, he saw his aunt holding his mother's hand, sitting on the sofa, crying with snot and tears.

"Xiao Zheng, you're finally back." When his aunt saw Jiang Zheng, she jumped off the sofa and hurriedly greeted him, crying, "What's going to happen to your brother? You have to save him..."

His aunt burst into tears. Jiang Zheng felt a pang in his heart, gnashing his teeth, but remained silent.

…

Jiang Zheng was busy at home until after ten o'clock before he finally managed to persuade his aunt to leave. The house became quiet again. He came to the study alone and saw his elder brother, Jiang Yuan, hiding inside and smoking.

"She's gone?" Jiang Yuan glanced at him.

Jiang Zheng nodded and said with a gloomy face, "Brother, I can't swallow this breath. I'm definitely going to get him!"

Jiang Yuan didn't speak, silently smoking another cigarette.
