City's Best Divine Doctor-Chapter 1076 - 1075: Don’t Call the Police Yet

After Steward Su received a call from Manager Han, he immediately drove to the Su Group Building. Now Su Wen had already returned to work at the building since the Su Group was so large, real estate was just one segment of its business, and the company had many subsidiaries.

Now, Steward Su drove his BMW to the underground parking lot of the Su Group Building and then took the elevator up to the President’s office.

As he knocked on the door, another secretary, Secretary Li, opened it.

This Secretary Li, compared to Secretary Lin, was somewhat lacking in ability. However, he also recognized Steward Su and knew he was looking for Chairman Su.

"Steward Su, the chairman is inside."

Secretary Li greeted.

Steward Su nodded.

As Steward Su entered inside, Su Wen was signing some important documents at his desk.

Seeing Steward Su rushing over, he was a bit puzzled.

"Steward, why are you here?"

"Master, there’s something I need to tell you."

Steward Su glanced at Secretary Li, then turned back to Su Wen and said.

Secretary Li understood and excused himself to visit the restroom, leaving the President’s office.

After Secretary Li left, Steward Su said, "Master, there’s been another incident at the unfinished building site."

"What happened?"

Su Wen asked alarmingly.

Could it be another death?

"A migrant worker went to the restroom late last night and disappeared. Manager Han had people looking for him all morning but found nothing."

What? A person disappeared?

Su Wen felt a bit worried too.

Although these migrant workers were different from the formal employees of the engineering team, who had benefits, these workers hired by the contractors had no such benefits, not even formal contracts.

But now, a migrant worker unexpectedly vanished without a trace!

"They’ve searched everywhere?"

"Manager Han said they’ve looked all over. The worker’s uncle even kept calling, but there’s no news."

"Let’s hold off on calling for now and see if we can find him."

Su Wen said.

Now he was quite afraid of that unfinished building site.

But after investing billions, can we just give up now?

Su Wen knew that wasn’t possible.

Of course, a migrant worker’s life wasn’t worth much, maybe tens of thousands at most.

Even if the site had to pay compensation, this amount wouldn’t mean much.

The problem was that a migrant worker suddenly disappearing without reason was what was truly frightening.

Steward Su kept silent, and so did Su Wen, as Su Wen stood by the window, looking down at the skyscrapers, facing such a tricky issue for the first time.

But he knew he must find the worker quickly.

"Now you should quickly find a skilled Feng Shui master to check it out. I’m concerned there might be more problems in the future. However, if we don’t start work there, the cash flow won’t recover, and then it will impact the normal operation of the real estate beneath it."

"Master, I understand, I will visit Master Yang again to ask him to recommend a skilled Feng Shui master."

"Him? Wasn’t he scared the last time?"

"Master, maybe he is even more skilled than Master Yuan, which is why he could protect himself and his apprentice."

"That’s true."

Su Wen said.

While letting Steward Su find Master Yang, Su Wen felt he had troubled himself. Had he known the unfinished building was like this, he wouldn’t have wanted it even at a lower price.

But the problem now was that there was no land left to acquire in Jinling City Center.

Everything where demolition should have taken place already has, leaving the only options for expansion toward the suburbs or Jiangbei.

Moreover, according to experts in the real estate industry, Jinling’s housing prices are expected to continue rising. In such a situation, acquiring land in the suburbs to establish a foothold is the only way to thrive in the real estate business.

Therefore, for Su Group and Su Wen, securing that unfinished building in the suburbs is a must.

Su Wen could only sigh.

...

By around 5 pm, after searching for Ah Fei from the morning till now, without seeing a trace of Ah Fei, Ah Liang already sensed that his nephew was likely in grave danger.

But as it was not yet 24 hours, they couldn’t report to the police.

They could only pray that Ah Fei had just gone to the city for fun and would return tomorrow.

Ah Liang dared not call Ah Fei’s parents, his cousin and cousin-in-law, afraid he might scare them.

But under these circumstances, Ah Liang felt he might be letting his cousin down.

When the cook had supper ready, Ah Liang had no appetite and just kept calling his nephew.

But there was no answer.

"Ah Liang, your nephew will probably be fine."

The contractor, Master Li, said.

"I hope so. If something really happens, I won’t dare go home. My cousin might even want to kill me."

Ah Liang said.

After the migrant workers finished dinner, it was past 7 pm, and the surrounding area was already pitch black; no one continued searching for Ah Liang anymore.

After all, they had searched within a radius of several kilometers from morning to afternoon but still hadn’t seen a trace of Ah Liang.

In such a situation, searching further would surely be futile.

Now it was only Ah Liang, a few of his good friends, and the contractor, Master Li, who worried about Ah Fei’s safety, while Manager Han had already driven back to the city for dinner.

Before leaving, he told the contractor, Master Li, to call him if they got any news of Ah Fei, and if there was still no news by tomorrow, he would come again the next day.

After dinner, these migrant workers stayed in the barracks watching TV, playing poker, playing mahjong, using their phones, bragging, and drinking beer—doing all sorts of things.

However, the workers were accustomed to going to bed early, largely due to their usual work schedule.

Moreover, when there was work, a full day’s labor left them very tired. It was only because the unfinished building site hadn’t started yet that they appeared to have more leisure time.

But they were habitually early sleepers.

By around 10 pm, except for the security guards watching the construction vehicles outside, the other migrant workers and engineering team members had mostly gone to rest.

In the dead of night, apart from the lights outside the barracks, the area around the unfinished building was pitch black and silent, with only occasional sounds of insects or birds breaking the silence.

Of course, there were several dogs on the site, kept to guard the building materials, but currently, the guard dogs were silent, seemingly at rest.

Ah Liang slept in that barrack room; ordinarily, he and his nephew Ah Fei shared one of the bunk beds, with Ah Fei on the top, and he slept below.

But now, the top was empty, and as he lay below, thinking of Ah Fei and his cousin, he couldn’t fall asleep and got up for a smoke.
