Quite by chance, it sprayed all over Grace's face.
Grace: "!"
Emmm, she really wanted to hit someone!
Saliva, saliva, this disgusting old man…
"Sorry, sorry." Qin Yunxi quickly apologized, pulling out tissues and wiping the woman's face.
Grace's veins bulged with anger. She kicked him away and ran into the bathroom.
The assistant followed nervously. This was terrible; their young lady had severe mysophobia.
Another technical expert, noticing Qin Yunxi's somewhat strange reaction, stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Qin, do you know Roe?"
Know her? Wasn't this Rong Jingyang's wife – Du Ruoxin?!
Although the woman in the photo looked younger, more pure and flawless, and more captivating, Qin Yunxi was certain it was Du Ruoxin!
Cough, cough, cough, this was getting interesting.
The expert they had been trying so hard to find was actually Rong Jingyang's wife.
Qin Yunxi's gaze, filled with a smile, fell on the equally shocked Rong Jingyang, "Rong, you've met this person, haven't you? I feel like you're quite familiar with her."
Rong Jingyang shot him a glare, but after a moment, his expression returned to its usual sternness, "Roe?"
The expert explained, "Yes, Ruo Yi is the main person in charge of our project. Five years ago, she proposed synthesizing artificial gasoline using carbon dioxide and hydrogen."
"Our team has been researching it, but we've been stuck on a crucial factor."
"We need to find her for the research to continue."
Grace said that Ruo Yi had disappeared and they hadn't been able to contact her for about three years. Helpless, they had to search country by country.
Rong Jingyang's furrowed brow grew heavier, "Her full name? Background?"
The expert shook his head, "We don't know. Only Grace knows her well. We only know she's called Roe, she has yellow skin, and she's Asian."
Qin Yunxi tugged at Rong Jingyang, "Why don't you invite your sister-in-law over?"
Whether Du Ruoxin was the tech expert "Roe" they were looking for would be revealed if they met.
Rong Jingyang: "..."
Du Ruoxin was missing, and Mu Li hadn't called him to say she'd been found yet.
Rong Jingyang said gravely, "I know someone similar to Roe, but I'm not sure if it's her."
The expert's face lit up with excitement, as if he had seen a room full of gold, "It doesn't matter, Mr. Rong, can you take us to see her?"
Only by finding Roe could they break through the technical barriers, successfully develop artificial gasoline, achieve resource renewability, and benefit humanity and the Earth.
"Wait a moment, I'll go contact her." Rong Jingyang turned to Qin Yunxi and said, "Take good care of the experts, and wait for my call."
Qin Yunxi patted his chest and guaranteed, "Don't worry, I'll take care of them 24 hours a day."
Rong Jingyang left the private room and first called Du Ruoxin's phone, but it was turned off. Then he called Mu Li.
"Sir, Madam has not been found yet." Mu Li had already dispatched many people to check surveillance. Apart from knowing the license plate number of the car that took Du Ruoxin away, they knew nothing else.
The most frustrating part was that the license plate number was a fake.
There was no way to trace it.
"We saw the vehicle disappear on the outer ring road and lost track of it," Mu Li added.
Rong Jingyang's dark eyes deepened. He looked at the darkened night sky outside the glass curtain wall and then glanced at his watch. Du Ruoxin… had been missing for six hours.
Was it a kidnapping, or something else?
"Was Madam willing to get into the car, or was she coerced?" Rong Jingyang asked.
Mu Li paused for a moment and said, "According to the bodyguard, the man knew Madam. He called her name and said."
"Du Ruoxin, try walking away?"
"And, and..."
Rong Jingyang frowned deeper as he heard his subordinate stammer, "Speak!"
Mu Li swallowed. If Madam hadn't been found yet, he really wouldn't want to sow discord between the husband and wife.
Alas!
With a heavy heart, Mu Li said, "The man touched Madam's face, and Madam didn't resist. They should know each other."
Not only did he touch her face, but he also held her hand. They looked very intimate.
Of course, Mu Li didn't dare to report this last part.
Rong Jingyang: "————"
Du Ruoxin… and… another man… intimate contact?
For some reason, a blurry photo, soaked in water, automatically appeared in his mind.
Rong Jingyang took it out of his pocket and stared at the embracing man and woman, his dark eyes filled with gloom.
"Age, height, appearance." Rong Jingyang's tone was icy.
Mu Li: "Judging by his appearance, around 30 years old, 190cm, Caucasian, handsome and dashing."
Rong Jingyang's fingers tightened around the photo. So, "he" wasn't Du Ruoxin's father, but rather—the person she liked?
No!
If Du Ruoxin liked another man but married him, what did that make him?
Rong Jingyang subconsciously denied it, "Is there any surveillance?"
Mu Li shook his head, "The bodyguard who followed Madam was taken to a secluded place and beaten up, and the dashcam was also taken."
"..."
Things seemed more complicated than they appeared?
Rong Jingyang strode towards the elevator, "Are you at the traffic police headquarters?"
Mu Li: "Yes."
Rong Jingyang: "Have you found a sketch artist?"
Without being able to see the video or recordings, the only clue was to find a sketch artist to draw the man who took Du Ruoxin away, based on the bodyguard's description.
Mu Li: "We have."
When he realized that the situation was very tricky and not a typical disappearance, he had already found a sketch artist to draw.
Rong Jingyang rushed to the traffic police headquarters.
When he arrived, a dozen sketch artists had just finished drawing a facial portrait each.
Rong Jingyang picked up the drawings to examine them. They looked familiar, but he couldn't recall where he had seen them before.
It wasn't until he saw the high nose bridge, blue eyes, and the imposing yet aggressive features that he was suddenly struck.
Cristiano J. Rothschild.
Thirty years old, the head of the Rothschild family, whose assets and industries were comparable to the Rong Group.
In Europe, the Rothschild family was the absolute overlord. Not only was their commercial empire spread across the globe, but their underworld connections were also something no one dared to provoke.
In the last century, in the X decade, the President of the United States was assassinated for threatening to deal with the Rothschild family.
Even in today's peaceful times, the Rothschild family remained a mysterious super-elite family that inspired fear and reverence.
Now it was the era of the global economy, and the Rong family also did business in Europe.
Rong Jingyang had met Cristiano twice at gatherings but had no deep connection with him.
It was just that—
Thinking of Cristiano's cruel nature and ruthless methods, Rong Jingyang's face grew terribly grim.
How did his wife know the head of the Rothschild family?
What was her relationship with Cristiano?!
Having Fan Yinghao book a flight, Rong Jingyang boarded a flight to Europe.
