Chapter 934 Bounty

In the group headquarters of Deng's Enterprises, everyone was busy with their work in an orderly manner. It seemed that no one paid too much attention to the sudden appearance of two strangers holding special passes, except for the heads of each department... They were also confused when they first received the notice from above, thinking that it was another trick of the board of directors.

At this time, Meng Zhe was staring at everyone in the office area on the fifth floor with a gloomy face, feeling very unhappy. If Gu Hao had not come back yet, he would never have come to do such trivial things. Although it was not difficult for the White Tiger Lord to find a ghost from a group of living people, the difficulty was that it was broad daylight now, and everyone was full of yang energy. It was really difficult to find a ghost that deliberately hid itself.

Meng Zhe's temperament and his expression at the moment made those department heads who didn't know the truth feel somewhat guilty, but because they had been instructed not to interfere with any actions of the two, they could only sit in the office and worry... They didn't even have the courage to go out and say hello.

The two searched all the departments upstairs and downstairs, but they still couldn't find any trace of Alice. Song Jiang knew that it was not a good idea to continue looking like this, so he called Deng Kai and said, "Contact Assistant Zhao and ask him to help. Post a lost and found notice in the bulletin group of your headquarters, and attach a photo of the antique music box. Whoever can find this music box in the building... will be rewarded with 10 yuan in cash."

Deng Kai said with a bit of amusement, "He's crazy, he wouldn't send me such a boring notice!"

Song Jiang sighed and said, "That's right... Then you should call Deng Yaohui directly and tell him that there is a particularly vicious evil ghost sealed in the music box and it must be found before dark, otherwise it will be disastrous."

Deng Kai refused to do it when he heard it, "I don't dare to hit him... Isn't this asking for trouble?"

"Look at how cowardly you are! You know how powerful Alice is. What if she kills a few employees of your Deng Group..." Song Jiang deliberately threatened him.

Finally, Deng Kai compromised. He said irritably, "Okay, okay, okay... Can't I just hit you? That's ridiculous."

To Deng Kai's surprise, Deng Yaohui did not scold him after learning about it. Instead, he quickly sent an official company notice to the mailboxes of all employees working at the headquarters, asking them to find the antique music box and raising the reward to 50... Obviously, he understood the urgency of the matter better than Deng Kai.

After reading the email, Deng Kai immediately called Assistant Zhao and asked, "Why did my brother raise the reward to 50? If someone really finds it, who will pay for it?"

"Of course it was you... Who caused this disaster?" Assistant Zhao said with a gloating look on his face.

Deng Kai wanted to refute, but he didn't know how to refute. After all, what he said was true... He was really at a loss this time, with the dragon bone bracelet and the bounty. But he thought again, didn't he still have the money from Duan Tiande's purchase of the antique music box? After deducting the auction house's commission, the dragon bone bracelet and the bounty, maybe there would be something left?

When Deng Kai thought that he would make some money in the end, he felt relieved. But at this moment, he suddenly felt Gu Hao beside him move slightly, so he quickly moved closer and whispered, "Gu Hao...? Little Gu Zi?"

After Deng Kai called him several times, Gu Hao slowly opened his eyes. Seeing that he was back, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Why are you here alone? Where are Song Jiang and Meng Zhe?" "They went to find Alice..." Seeing that Gu Hao's face was frighteningly pale, Deng Kai asked worriedly, "How do you feel? Are you okay?"

Gu Hao waved his hands, and then said weakly, "It's okay. I've been out of my body for a long time. I'll be fine after a while. Check out what the headlines are today..."

Deng Kai took out his phone and looked at it, saying, "Nothing, just some ordinary news..."

Unexpectedly, a push notification popped up on his phone the next second: A taxi in the city was robbed in the early morning. After checking the surveillance, the police found that when the car was driving north to the highway bridge, it suddenly lost control and rushed under the bridge, caught fire and exploded, and the two people in the car died on the spot... The police confirmed that the deceased were a wealthy businessman named Duan who immigrated overseas many years ago and his personal assistant named Qiao. According to the investigation of our reporter, the two deceased were drunk at the time. They suddenly robbed the car and fled when the driver got out to check the condition of the car.

After reading the news, Deng Kai looked at Gu Hao in shock. Gu Hao said with a tired face, "Isn't this good? No matter what, the focus of the matter can only stay on the accident caused by two drunk people robbing a car. As for their motives for doing this... who can tell the motives of two drunkards?"

It is said that many people nearby saw the taxi explosion at the time of the incident. Because the accident occurred under the bridge, there was no way to go down to rescue immediately. As a result, when the rescuers arrived and put out the fire in the car, the taxi was burned to only a frame, and the people in the car became two skeletons without flesh and blood. Naturally, it was impossible to tell whether they died before or after the explosion.

Seeing that it was already lunchtime and Gu Hao had woken up, Deng Kai called Song Jiang and asked them to meet at the employee cafeteria on the third floor. Regardless of whether they could find Alice or not, they had to eat, right? Deng's employee meals were famous in the industry for being delicious. Even their former chairman, Lao Deng, and the current chairman, Da Deng, would come over for a meal whenever they had time. In addition, Deng Kai brought his friends with him today, so Assistant Zhao quickly arranged a private room for them and told them to have lunch with the chairman.

Deng Kai was very unhappy when he heard this, thinking that he couldn't even enjoy the meal comfortably. Song Jiang saw what he was thinking, so he smiled and comforted him, "Don't be ungrateful for what you have... If it was the Deng Yaohui of the past, let alone treating you to a meal, he would have been lucky enough not to eat you up."

"What do you know? If it was him in the past, I really wouldn't be afraid of him at all. I would just do it and be done with it. Who's afraid of who? How about now? Isn't it obvious who's afraid of who?" Deng Kai said with a face full of bitterness and resentment.

When Song Jiang heard this, he smiled helplessly and said, "That's true..."

As the two were talking, the staff knocked on the door and came in to deliver the meal. Song Jiang saw that the dishes included abalone, sea cucumber, shark's fin, and fish maw. How could this be a work meal? This was simply a full banquet! So he immediately changed the subject and said, "Boss Deng is really great with you. You should be more careful in the future!"

Deng Kai immediately rolled his eyes and said, "You really are too ungrateful!"
