My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 606

Chapter 606 Very Touched

Nan Zhengde took a sleeping pill and was able to have a restful sleep. He woke up in the morning feeling refreshed.

While he was having breakfast, Chai Hua reported the new findings. “Master Chen’s car has been located, but there aren’t any signs of damage on it.” “He’s not in the car?”

“No. The local police also did not receive any report regarding this,” Chai Hua replied. Nan Zhengde took a bite of his food. “Was the car parked normally?”

“Yes, it was parked on the wider part of a roadside.” “How far is it from where his car was parked to where he wanted to go?” Nan Zhengde asked again.

“It’s quite far; almost a hundred kilometers.” “How’s the traffic?”

“The road is currently undergoing repairs, so there are traffic jams occasionally. It’s difficult to navigate on it.” Chai Hua took out his phone and pulled up a picture that his subordinates had sent him.

In the picture, Nan Chen’s car was covered in yellow dust and filthy. Nan Zhengde said nothing as he continued to have his breakfast. Chai Hua remained silent as well, for he knew that Nan Zhengde was mulling over the matter.

“Mr. Nan, do not worry too much. As Master Chen’s car is fine, that must mean he is fine as well,” Chai Hua comforted him in a gentle voice.

“There are a few possibilities. One is that Chen was stopped on the road and abducted. However, this is unlikely to have happened as there is traffic on the road. Kidnapping him is very risky as the chance of having someone witness it is high. Hence, they wouldn’t choose this method,” Nan Zhengde analyzed.

Chai Hua nodded.

“The second possibility is that Nan Chen felt that driving there was taking too long, got on another mode of transport, and was held hostage by someone.”

Chai Hua piped up, “A motorcycle. The road is undergoing repairs, so it’s common for jams to occur. If it’s a motorcycle, it would be a lot more efficient than a regular car.”

Nan Zhengde slammed the table and exclaimed, “Yes! Tell them to visit the nearby area and ask the villagers and road repair workers if Nan Chen had purchased or rented a motorcycle locally. Tell them to keep asking questions. A lead should come up.”

“I’ve already instructed them to do so,” Chai Hua said.

Nan Zhengde gave him a look of approval. As expected of the Nan family’s housekeeper. Chai Hua knew exactly what to do even without instruction.

“That’s great.”

Nan Zhengde finished his breakfast, went for a walk, and headed to the garden for some Tai Chi.

At ten in the morning, someone came to report that Ouyang Duo had come again.

“Let him wait. I’m going to get changed,” Nan Zhengde said.

He put on a traditional Tang suit and went to the living room.

Ouyang Duo rose from his seat. “Mr. Nan, how are you doing?”

“I’m doing very well. I was told that you were here when I woke up this morning. My employees must be unfamiliar with proper etiquette. They should have woken me up. Sorry to keep you waiting, Duo,” Nan Zhengde replied with a smile.

“It’s fine. I’m sorry for the sudden visit.”

Nan Zhengde hummed in response. “Have some tea, Duo. Is there something you need from me?” he asked as he stared at Ouyang Duo.

Ouyang Duo felt a bit daunted when he locked eyes with Nan Zhengde.

In all the times he had gone up against the Nan family, Ouyang Duo had always lost. Hence, he was a little traumatized.

“I received some information, but I’m not sure if it’s legitimate or not.”

“Oh? What is it?”

“I have a friend in Lightspring who knows that Nan Chen is in trouble. Do you think it’s true that he has fallen into someone’s hands?” Ouyang Duo asked.

“It’s true. Nan Chen has been unreachable for two days now. We’ve been looking for him but to no avail. How did your friend know about this?”

Ouyang Duo explained, “I’m not too sure how he found out. It seems like he saw Nan Chen’s car. There aren’t many in that small town that drive that kind of SUV. Someone managed to find out that the car belonged to Nan Chen and deduced that something had happened to him.”

“In that case, can you ask your friend to do us a favor and check if Nan Chen is still alive or not?” Nan Zhengde asked calmly.

Ouyang Duo tentatively started, “I’m afraid he can’t do that. He was only guessing, after all. Why don’t you call the police? If the police get involved, I’m sure they can find out everything.”

“We can’t contact the police without endangering Nan Chen’s safety. In addition, if news about Nan Chen being uncontactable spreads, the stocks will plummet, and Nanshi Corporation will descend into chaos. We can’t let outsiders learn about this.”

This was what Ouyang Duo had intended to say to Nan Zhengde, but Nan Zhengde beat him to it.

Hence, Ouyang Duo had nothing else to say. Everyone understood what it meant, and now it was almost time for a showdown.
