Chapter 451: Investigating the Traces
The person who spoke impatiently was Kang Jian. He had already sent many people to look for Kang Wan, but there was still no news of this girl. Kang Jian could only place his hopes on his sister-in-law from the Cheng family.
All these years, the children of the Cheng family’s grandchildren had been promising. Not only did they manage the Cheng family’s business in all aspects well, but they had also expanded the Cheng family’s business overseas. Cheng Tang was also liked by Old Master Cheng, so he wanted her to think of a way to help Kang Wan.
Cheng Tang stood rooted to the ground with a frown. She lowered her eyes and rubbed her palms slightly. A wave of displeasure welled up in her heart. Her entire body exuded a cold aura. “Brother-in-law, don’t be anxious. I watched Kang Wan grow up. She has been missing for so long, how can I not be anxious? However, it’s useless to be anxious about this. Let’s calm down and wait for news!”
Kang Wan had gone missing in Country N in Southeast Asia. Recently, she had received news that there had been a lot of internal turmoil in the various organizations in Southeast Asia. If this matter reached her grandfather’s ears, he would definitely throw a tantrum and blame her if he knew that she had sent someone to get involved in the mess because of this girl.
At the thought of this, Cheng Tang could not help but have a headache.
Upon hearing Cheng Tang’s words, Kang Jian paced back and forth in the main hall with his hands behind his back. A few seconds later, his tone became grave. “Tang’er, tell me the truth. We’ve already sent so many people out, but Wan’er hasn’t been found. Is she in danger?”
When Cheng Tang heard this, she looked up at Kang Jian and waved her hand as she replied seriously, “Brother-in-law, Wan’er is my biological niece. If there’s news, how can I hide it from you? Don’t worry, as long as my people find out about her, I’ll bring her home no matter what!”
Ever since Cheng Tang was born, she had a deep relationship with her sister. After Kang Wan was born, they met every day because of the close business relationship between the Cheng family and the Kang family. The two of them were not much different in age. Instead of saying that she was Kang Wan’s elder, it was better to say that the two of them were more like biological sisters.
Now that Kang Wan had disappeared without any warning, she had a huge burden on her heart and was very anxious for this child.
Kang Ting pinched the space between his eyebrows without batting an eyelid. As the head of the Kang family, he thought carefully for a few minutes. He seemed to have thought of something and said with a serious expression, “According to the two school teachers, Wan’er disappeared in Country N in Southeast Asia. I heard that the Huo family’s little fiancée, Mo Zhu, also went to the international competition this time. Furthermore, she was in the same competition as Wan’er.”
“Last time, she and Huo Xuan suffered such a huge loss in our Kang family. Do you think Wan’er’s disappearance has anything to do with them? That girl called Mo Zhu looks like she has a stomach full of evil tricks. Will she take the opportunity to attack Wan’er?”
Upon hearing this, Cheng Tang thought about it. A moment later, she shook her head and rejected this possibility.
From the people she had sent to Southeast Asia to inquire about the news over the past two days, Cheng Tang learned that Huo Xuan had personally accompanied Mo Zhu to participate in this international competition not long ago.
If the two of them really wanted to attack Kang Wan, with the Huo family’s current strength, they definitely wouldn’t have waited until Kang Wan left Beijing before taking action. Besides, the two of them weren’t stupid enough to attack this girl in Country N and forcefully attract the Kang family’s suspect to themselves.
Even if the truth was really as Kang Ting had said, with Kang Wan and Mo Zhu’s personalities, it was most likely Kang Wan who could not hold back and started the trouble.
Cheng Tang had specially observed Mo Zhu during the battle with the Huo family. Such a shrewd and scheming person would definitely not act rashly without confidence!
