Chapter 53: The Disappearing Rainy Day

Missing?

How could a person with multiple fractures lying in a hospital bed go missing?

Hearing this, Fang Cheng couldn't help frowning and asking back.

"Just now, his fiancée, Young Miss Choi, called to ask if Mr. Majima was in the club."

"The boss also specifically inquired about this matter, telling us to find a way to locate Mr. Majima's whereabouts as soon as possible."

Manager Li spoke quickly, explaining the whole story.

Then, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes, he looked at Fang Cheng.

"I heard people say that you often went to the hospital to visit Mr. Majima these past few days, so you should know some of his private circumstances, right?"

Shen Haoming also chimed in immediately:

"A-Cheng, if you know anything, hurry up and say it."

Fang Cheng knitted his brows tightly, then turned and walked outside.

Leaving behind only a single sentence:

"I am going to the hospital to check the situation."

Hearing this, Manager Li's tense face relaxed slightly, and he hurriedly saw him off, saying:

"Alright, go and come back quickly, I'll wait for your news!"

Then, he spoke to Shen Haoming again:

"Old Shen, go and ask the other colleagues again, don't miss any possible news."

Shen Haoming nodded immediately and walked towards the other coaches and professional players.

Who knows what on earth these two were acting so enthusiastic for?

Fang Cheng glanced at them in confusion.

Without time to think further, he stepped quickly, picked up an umbrella by the door, and walked out.

He soon came to the roadside, hailed a taxi, and rode to Taijiang Hospital located in Wenchuan District.

...

In the gray, rainy day.

A yellow taxi with its lights on parked outside the hospital's main gate.

After opening his umbrella, Fang Cheng got out of the car and quickly entered the inpatient building.

He first went to the VIP ward where Majima Goro lived to check the situation.

At this time, there were no bodyguards outside the door.

Pushing the door open and entering, the inside was also empty, without a single figure.

The bed was cleaned very well, and the bedding was folded neatly.

Just as if no patient had ever lived in it.

Fang Cheng frowned slightly, closed the door and came out, glancing at the nurse's station.

Seeing a slightly chubby nurse on duty there, burying her head in writing nursing record sheets.

So he stepped forward and said:

"Excuse me, Young Miss Nurse, Majima Goro last night..."

"Oh, I already said I don't know clearly, how many times are you people going to ask me all morning, my own work is almost killing me with busyness!"

Hearing someone inquiring, the nurse raised her head with an impatient face and interrupted.

But when she saw clearly the appearance of the person inquiring, her heart trembled, her face flushed slightly, and she stammered instead:

"Uh... Sir, are you trying to ask about Mr. Majima Goro?"

Fang Cheng showed a trace of a smile and nodded at her.

As if encouraged, the chubby nurse immediately volunteered:

"I wasn't present at the time of this matter, and the president also issued a gag order, but I heard from colleagues that near midnight yesterday, our hospital suddenly lost power for a period of time for no reason."

"Afterwards, the nurse on duty went to check the rooms and found that the two bodyguards were lying on the ground, unconscious, while Mr. Majima, who should have been sleeping in the ward, had disappeared."

"Was Majima's fiancée, Choi Suyoung, not present at the time?" Fang Cheng asked afterwards.

"Last night she seemed to have something to deal with and didn't continue accompanying him, leaving the hospital around five-something in the afternoon."

"Do you know who those people who also came to ask about this matter were?"

Facing Fang Cheng's such thorough questioning, the chubby nurse appeared very patient, explaining in a gentle tone:

"I'm not very clear, I only know that among them were plainclothes police officers, as well as other people whose identities couldn't be discerned."

"Sir, if you are interested, after I get off work, I can try to draw their appearances for you alone..."

Fang Cheng smiled and politely declined, then under the nurse's reluctant gaze, said goodbye and left.

Walking out of the main gate, he looked back.

Taijiang Hospital in the rain appeared exceptionally gloomy, as if shrouded by a thick haze.

Fang Cheng couldn't help recalling the vague, odd feeling of being watched when he first came here.

"Majima Goro's disappearance is probably not a simple criminal case!"

...

The damp streets.

A figure holding a black umbrella stood alone in the rain.

Directly in front of him was a private mansion with a small garden.

Evergreen trees isolated outsiders' views peering into the courtyard.

This was Majima Goro's home.

Fang Cheng raised his head from under the umbrella, looking at the half-exposed two-and-a-half-story house.

After leaving the hospital, he thought about it and came here again.

Although reason told him that he was not a policeman and no amount of investigation would be of any use.

No errors, first published, internal content, check one by one!

Now he should return to the club and honestly wait for Zheng Haokang's arrival.

But there was an urge inside him driving him, wanting to understand more of the truth of the matter.

Majima Goro himself harbored many secrets.

Behind the matter of his sudden disappearance, there must also be some secrets that ordinary people could not easily touch.

Perhaps it was related to that pharmaceutical company...

Perhaps it involved certain things hidden even deeper...

Fang Cheng's gaze flickered slightly, looking at the light blue panel that emerged.

"9 points of free attribute."

Then his heart settled, and he put away the umbrella.

Previously he rang the doorbell and waited for a long time, but didn't see anyone come out to open the door.

He prowled around the outer wall for a circle, and simply took a run-up, scaled the wall and flipped inside.

The house door was ajar, he gently pushed it open and stepped into the foyer.

The environment inside the house was dim and silent.

In the originally spacious hall, the master was not there, and the servants were nowhere to be seen.

Fang Cheng observed around once, and turned his head to look at the stairs leading to the second floor.

So he trod lightly onto the solid wood staircase steps.

A teeth-setting "creak" sound suddenly came.

Coming to the second floor.

The layout here was relatively compact, with many rooms on both sides of the corridor, some with doors closed and some half-open.

Similarly, no figures were in sight, as if there was not a trace of the aura of living.

The sound of rain outside the window formed a sharp contrast with the silence inside the corridor, and only the faintly sounding footsteps broke this silence.

Suddenly, Fang Cheng stopped his footsteps, and his spine had an inexplicable feeling of tightening.

There seemed to be someone else in this house!

With the corner of his eye, he quickly observed his surroundings.

Yet he saw no unusual movements.

But Fang Cheng trusted his intuition.

The ultra-high mental attribute of 20 points greatly enhanced his sensory ability, and it would definitely not be wrong!

Suddenly, a subtle sound of breaking through the air came from the direction behind his head.

Bang!

An extendable baton fiercely struck the plaster wall behind his back.

As soon as the sound rang out, Fang Cheng half-crouched his body and dodged the attack with a roll.

Then his muscles tightened slightly, he raised his head, gazed intently, and looked at the figure that suddenly appeared in front of him.

A person wearing a black tight combat suit and a black mask on their face stood in the narrow corridor with their back to the light.

The opponent seemed not to expect Fang Cheng's reaction to be so fast, and was slightly stunned for a moment.

The extendable baton held in their hand hung downwards.

But in the next second, with a "swish" sound, their figure suddenly moved, rushing towards Fang Cheng as fast as lightning.
