Chapter 680: No Clues at all

The incident at Crystal Palace was still exposed by the media in the end. Li Yuanhang used some means to suppress it at first, but the power of technology was too strong. Plus, there were always small gossip websites.

Originally, Li Yuanhang wanted to hack the news and take it down. However, Gong Tianhao told him to let it be. After all, this was their mistake this time. It was their fault for disappointing the guests.

For this matter, the relevant person-in-charge of Crystal Palace Hotel personally went on the news to apologize. He also promised that the company would compensate the guests who were frightened. He also said that he would definitely strengthen the security measures in the future. There would definitely not be any incidents that threatened the lives of the customers.

Gong Tianhao, who had been known for his ruthlessness, also issued a statement. He was very sorry about this incident and apologized to the victims. He also promised that in the future, such an incident would not happen again.

Once the legend surfaced, it shocked the entire business world.

In the past, Gong Tianhao kept a low profile as much as possible. But now, he had become high profile.

If it weren’t for the fact that no one dared to impersonate Gong Tianhao, everyone would have thought that this was fake.

Regardless, the personal apology from Gong Tianhao managed to appease some hotel guests.

Even though this incident had happened, the safest hotel in all of Asia was still probably Crystal Palace. After all, not anyone could afford to stay there. They were in danger all the time, even at home. Therefore, they would have bodyguards to protect them. The chance of a guest being kidnapped at Crystal Palace was very small.

This incident happened because no one expected someone who had no bodyguards would stay at Crystal Palace.

Gong Tianhao apologized, and the incident was put to rest. After all, what else could the others do? Even if the internet technology was advanced, the users were still humans. There was freedom of speech, but there was also defamation. How could a gossip website compete with the richest company in the country? The small websites wouldn’t dare to challenge Imperial Palace.

…

Inside Crystal Hotel’s presidential suite, Gong Tianhao, Jiang Tao, Gong Yinxiong, Situ Xing, and Li Yuanhang were gathered.

Gong Tianhao asked directly, “How’s the investigation going?”

He asked Gong Yinxiong.

Gong Yinxiong shook his head and said, “There’s still no clue. When those people committed the crime, they were fully prepared. The surveillance equipment couldn’t find any trace of them.” This was the first time Gong Yinxiong faced such a failure after he joined Dragon Organization. He couldn’t understand it. The assassination happened right under their nose, but they couldn’t find any trace of a crime.

Jiang Tao also said, “The situation on my side is similar. The coroner examined the dead criminal. His face has been touched up by plastic surgery. Even his fingerprints have been shaved off. In fact, the skin of his whole body had been grafted. It’s impossible to trace his origin.”

Li Yuanhang was shocked. “That’s insane!” The pain of a full skin graft transplant would be insane, not to mention the risk involved!

Situ Xing thought for a moment and said, “But the human skeleton can’t be changed. Can we use that to reconstruct his face?”

Jiang Tao shook his head. “We can’t be sure. There were knife marks on the man’s skull too. But,” He said with determination, “We will try our best. We should be able to get a composite somehow.”

Gong Tianhao furrowed his brows slightly and said directly, “Then, we’ll hire the best facial reconstruction experts. We must find out their identities!”

He had a bad premonition in his heart. If these people weren’t found, there would be more troubles in the future… especially for Xiao Lingyu. Gong Tianhao didn’t know why he had such a feeling.

Li Yuanhang said strangely, “But how could these people act so quickly? It’s like they had been following Xiao Lingyu and attacked when she was at the hotel.”

“Yuanhang, what did you say?” Gong Tianhao asked again.

Li Yuanhang said, “I said how these people could act so quickly? It’s like they had been following Xiao Lingyu.”

The others looked at each other. It was as if a ray of light had shone through the haze.

At this moment, Situ Xing patted his head and said loudly, “Wait. I remember it now. When boss first woke up, sister-in-law… Xiao Lingyu said that she wanted to come to country M to see boss. However, she was halted at the airport.

“At the same time, boss’ ex-girlfriend, Weng Jingjing, appeared in the boss’s ward. Doesn’t that mean that someone has been secretly watching and following Xiao Lingyu? Oh no, it’s possible that they are also watching boss!”

They looked at each other again with an incredulous expression.

“However, if this person can know Xiao Lingyu’s every move, they have to be someone close to her.” Situ Xing looked at Gong Yinxiong and asked suspiciously, “Gong Yinxiong, is there anyone suspicious in Taoyuan Village?”

Gong Yinxiong shook his head and said with certainty, “I’m very sure that the people around Xiao Lingyu are all trustworthy people. They are all her relatives.”

As for those company partners and employees, it was impossible for them to know Xiao Lingyu’s every move.

Just like when she went to country M, the people who knew that she was going to country M were all her relatives. No one else knew about it.

This trip to the capital was also a sudden decision. Other than her parents and family members, only Li Yuanhang knew about it. Therefore, the spy wasn’t someone close to Xiao Lingyu.

“That’s strange,” Situ Xing said in puzzlement, “We are once again stuck at a dead-end!”

“No,” Gong Tianhao said, “We still have some clues.”

The four of them stared at Gong Tianhao.

Gong Tianhao said, “Since they have been following Xiao Lingyu, we just have to pay attention to her… and protect her safety. Eventually, those people will be careless and give themselves away.”

“That’s right!” Situ Xing patted his head, “As long as we notice the things happening around Xiao Lingyu, it’ll be fine.”

Jiang Tao frowned and said seriously, “Lingyu has been targeted. We have to stop the culprits as soon as possible. We can be careless too. Then, we’d put her in danger.”

When Jiang Tao mentioned the name Lingyu, Gong Tianhao’s sharp eyes stared at him as if he was slightly dissatisfied with that.

When Jiang Tao saw Gong Tianhao’s expression, he immediately asked in puzzlement, “Tianhao, why are you looking at me? Is there a problem?”

Gong Tianhao narrowed his eyes slightly and asked sharply, “Tao Zi, how did you and Xiao Lingyu meet?”

Situ Xing and the rest, “…” The man lost his memory but not his jealous nature. On the one hand, he was unwilling to admit that he liked Xiao Lingyu, but on the other hand, he subconsciously cared about her. He would even be inexplicably jealous.

Jiang Tao was not flustered at all. He even said with some amusement, “Hehe, I’ve known her longer than you. It’s a pity that when Xiao Lingyu chose a husband, she chose you instead of me!” He said in a straightforward manner, and he did not feel guilty at all.

Gong Tianhao, “…”

The others, “…”

Were they now love rivals or not?

However, Gong Tianhao was already married to Xiao Lingyu. Even if Jiang Tao were a love rival, he would not have had the chance. Since Xiao Lingyu had chosen Gong Tianhao, she must love him deeply.

Gong Tianhao’s face was dark. He really wanted to retort, “If you want her, you can have her now! I don’t even know her anyway!” However, what made his face even darker was that he couldn’t bring himself to say it.

Situ Xing’s eyes flashed with curiosity as he said, “Young Master Jiang, I’m curious. You’re obviously a cold-hearted person. How did you fall in love with Xiao Lingyu?

“Of course, I know that a beautiful, intelligent, and charming woman like my sister-in-law would definitely attract an outstanding man.

“Otherwise, both you and boss wouldn’t have fallen for her, right?”

As soon as Situ Xing finished speaking, Jiang Tao and Gong Tianhao’s faces turned black.

Gong Tianhao gritted his teeth and said sternly, “Situ Xing, I’ll book your ticket to Africa now!”

“Ah, boss, I was wrong!” Situ Xing immediately apologized.

“Get lost!”
