Because that night, Qi Manlin arranged police searches at all major highways, transportation hubs, including planes and ferries leading out of Wancheng. Chen Shiwei had no escape!

Speaking of which, Chen Shiwei's roots are in Wancheng, his assets are in Wancheng. Although his assets are frozen, he certainly still has some money to fend for himself, so Chen Shiwei isn't likely to leave Wancheng at all!

As long as he doesn't leave Wancheng, sooner or later we'll dig him out! By the third day, there was still no trace of Chen Shiwei. Lin Mu, Shen Yijin, Sophie, and the others were puzzled. Could it be that Chen Shiwei has wings, flying directly out of Wancheng? If not, where could he possibly hide?

Chen Shiwei had fallen to an extreme low, having no close friends in Wancheng, it's impossible he was hiding at a friend's house, where else could he possibly hide? They had searched every place and still found no trace of Chen Shiwei.

"Feifei, where on earth could Chen Shiwei have run to? It's so damn strange that he just vanished in Wancheng!" In Yunhai Mansion, Lin Mu sat on the sofa, being addressed by Sophie.

"I've also deployed all of my intelligence resources to search for Chen Shiwei, but found nothing. This is truly too strange. Every place that could be searched in Wancheng has been checked. Where do you think he could have gone?" Sophie said perplexedly.

"What the hell, could it be that he's been kidnapped? With Chen Shiwei's current assets, criminals wouldn't target him for a kidnapping!" Lin Mu said irritatedly.

"Oh? What did you just say?" Sophie asked, raising an eyebrow.

"What? What did I say?"

"Repeat what you just said!" Sophie said, seemingly having realized something.

"Uh... I said could Chen Shiwei have been kidnapped? But there's nothing to gain from kidnapping him, so what's up?" Lin Mu repeated and asked.

"Kidnapping!" Jinge said.

"Kidnapping?"

Sophie nodded and said, "Do you think it's possible that it's not Chen Shiwei hiding himself, but rather someone kidnapping him and hiding him away?"

Lin Mu waved his hand, "Who would be bored enough to kidnap him?"

"I think there might be one!" Sophie said.

"Oh? Who?"

"You mentioned before that Wu Meilian had a Russian bodyguard, Browning, who had a falling out with Chen Shiwei, and that Chen Shiwei was even planning to kill him. Do you think it's possible that Browning took the opportunity to grab him and teach him a lesson?" Sophie analyzed.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mu furrowed his brow. What Sophie said seemed to make some sense!

That night, Chen Shiwei wanted to kill him, but Browning escaped. Browning didn't get the benefits he wanted and was even hunted. At a time like this, it's definitely the best moment to retaliate against Chen Shiwei!

Could it be that Browning, in order to retaliate, captured Chen Shiwei stealthily before anyone else?

Thinking back over the searches in the past few days, it seems quite possible. Otherwise, Chen Shiwei couldn't possibly just vanish into thin air without leaving a trace!

"Browning? There really is such a possibility!" Lin Mu muttered to himself while nodding.

"In that case, whether it's related to Browning or not, we should investigate. If he really is in Browning's hands, it could save us a lot of trouble!" Sophie said.

Lin Mu nodded, "Alright, I'll arrange for people to keep an eye on which places in the underground world are run by Russians, since if Browning kidnapped Chen Shiwei, then he certainly must have other accomplices or a foothold in Wancheng. Otherwise, even if they did kidnap Chen Shiwei, without a foothold, they would likely be discovered by us!"

"Yes, investigate it. Inform Manlin and have her use the police force to check. I'll notify my people to investigate fully. Even though Chen's Company has collapsed, it still holds operational rights, which, though they're just a shell, are still valuable to us!" Sophie said.

"Alright, let's do it. Keep each other posted if there's any development. I'll discuss with Shen Yijin. We'll mobilize everyone. I can't believe we can't uncover a single Chen Shiwei with so many people!" Lin Mu stood up and said.

Sophie nodded, "Okay, go ahead!"

After bidding farewell to Sophie, Lin Mu returned to the Flying Dragon Foot Bath Pavilion. After finding Shen Yijin, he explained the situation. Upon hearing it, Shen Yijin nodded, and soon the two organized an operation, deploying both Flying Dragon Group and Shen Family forces to gather intelligence on the underground world.

People like Browning, if they have partners, are surely not in legitimate businesses; they deal in the underground world! Thus, the three major powers in Wancheng joined forces with the police to investigate whether there were any Russians in the underground world. As the investigation widened, clues multiplied. That very night, Earth Wolf's team reported spotting Russians in an underground gambling venue in Wancheng East City!

According to the informant's report, the owner of the venue was indeed a Russian! If confirmed as Russians, then it must be Browning's group!

Upon receiving this news, Lin Mu immediately contacted Shen Yijin and headed directly to the underground casino in East City. The casino was hidden in a teahouse on the outskirts. Although labeled a teahouse, it was just a facade, as gambling activities are heavily cracked down on now, and most casinos mask themselves with legitimate businesses!

Lin Mu drove to the teahouse reported by Earth Wolf. Arriving at the parking lot in front of the teahouse, he parked the car. Surrounding cars were all luxury vehicles, clearly owned by wealthy individuals, and business was unexpectedly bustling!

After opening the car door, Lin Mu and Shen Yijin got out of the vehicle. To avoid alerting anyone, Lin Mu didn't bring Earth Wolf's team there, and others stayed hidden! Of course, dealing with a character like Browning, Lin Mu and Shen Yijin alone sufficed; no need for extra hands!

After getting off, Lin Mu and Shen Yijin entered the teahouse! To show their status, before coming, both Lin Mu and Shen Yijin intentionally changed into branded suits, as anyone playing here was either rich or noble! As soon as they entered, two girls in qipaos approached them, the slits of the qipaos reaching up to their thighs, revealing their fair legs and the faint glimpse of pink panties!

"Gentlemen, would you like some tea? We offer the finest West Lake Longjing here. Would you like a taste?" The qipao-clad hostesses approached with professional smiles.

Lin Mu nodded without directly stating his purpose. After all, he and Shen Yijin's faces were unfamiliar, and bluntly asking for a gamble would arouse suspicion. Since they were acting, they had to play their parts convincingly.
