High-level martial arts: Invincibility starts with basic archery.

Chapter 539 Audacity and Recklessness

On the bright side, Jiang Tao is still in headquarters and has not been captured by the Song family. Therefore, his betrayal of everyone has not yet occurred, and there is still room for maneuver.

But not long ago, he had been feeling unwell.

If I'm not mistaken, Jiang Tao was probably already captured by the Song family at that time.

The reason he had that feeling was because his mental strength was too high and his sixth sense was extraordinary, allowing him to issue timely warnings.

"Okay, okay, Brother Chen, please wait a moment, I'll contact Jiang Tao right away."

Shen Si also realized what was happening.

The more critical the moment, the more important it is to stay calm and collected; otherwise, things will only get worse.

He hung up the phone and then dialed Jiang Tao's number, hoping that the other party would answer, but also worried that it wouldn't be him who answered, but someone from the Song family.

"Beep...beep..."

After ringing a few times, a female voice said, "Sorry, the number you dialed is not in service. Please try again later."

Shen Si frowned.

If you put your phone in a spatial ring, this situation will indeed occur.

In the past, when they went out on adventures, they would turn off their phones or put them in their spatial rings beforehand, for fear of receiving a phone call that would expose their hiding place or cause them to be distracted.

But since we came back last time, everyone has been staying at headquarters, and people will definitely keep their phones close to their bodies, especially since I had contacted them before.

Even if they were captured by the Song family, wouldn't they still be within the territory of Yan? They wouldn't leave this planet, would they?

Unconvinced, he made several more calls, but the result was the same.

"What exactly is going on?"

Shen Si was full of doubts.

After thinking for a moment, he made a phone call to someone else.

Within seconds, the call was answered.

"Hello, President."

The person speaking was breathing heavily. "What's wrong?"

"Where are you now? Is Jiang Tao with you?" Shen Si asked, clinging to a sliver of hope.

"Jiang Tao?"

The other person was taken aback and immediately replied, "He's not here. We were together when we left earlier. Later, a few of us said we wanted to find a training room to spar, and asked Jiang Tao if he wanted to come. He said he was a little tired and wanted to go back to rest early, so we left."

"So, apart from Jiang Tao, you guys all stayed together?" Shen Si asked, somewhat surprised.

"Yes, Chairman Shen, please wait a moment."

The other person put the phone aside and shouted to those around, "Everyone come over here for a moment, Chairman Shen called, he needs to talk to us about something."

"President!"

"The president's phone call?"

"Here it comes, here it comes."

Four or five voices rang out, and soon the surrounding people gathered around.

"President, everyone's here. Oh, except Jiang Tao, everyone's here. What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Shen Si gasped, feeling a chill rise from the soles of her feet.

Jiang Tao, could something really have happened to you?

Is it true, as Chen Fan said, that he was captured by the Song family?

But I had clearly warned him that this was a critical period and it was best not to leave headquarters. Did Jiang Tao just ignore my words?

Hearing no response from the other end of the phone, the people in the training room realized that something was wrong.

"President, is it Jiang Tao? Has something happened to him?" someone asked in a low voice.

"No way, Jiang Tao was with us just over an hour ago, and then he went back to rest. What could possibly happen to him at headquarters?"

"Yeah, this is headquarters, not just anyone can walk in."

The remaining people also chimed in.

"Go to the lounge and see if he's there. If he's not there, check the places he usually goes. If you find anything, let me know immediately."

"Yes, Chairman!"

Everyone tensed up, and after hanging up the phone, they headed towards Jiang Tao's bedroom.

Some people even took out their phones and dialed Jiang Tao's number.

The result, naturally, was the same as Shen Si's.

"I need to go to the monitoring room."

Shen Si muttered to himself, then quickly walked out of the office and headed towards the monitoring room.

There are surveillance cameras in many places in the headquarters, working 24 hours a day, especially at the entrances and exits. If Jiang Tao leaves, the surveillance cameras will definitely be able to capture it.

"Chairman Shen!"

The people in the monitoring room were so startled by Shen Si's arrival that they stood up from their chairs.

Why is Chairman Shen here all of a sudden?

Could they be here to inspect their work?

"Give me a video recording."

Without wasting words, Shen Si walked to the wall covered with monitors. "Time: one hour ago. Location: my office."

"Yes."

Everyone quickly got into work mode, and in less than half a minute, Jiang Tao and the others were brought into the office one after another.

"Get them out of the office quickly."

The scene shifts rapidly, and the office door suddenly opens, revealing several figures walking out.

"Point the camera at this person and speed it up tenfold."

Shen Si reached out and aimed her hand at Jiang Tao on the screen.

The images on the screen flashed by one after another, and soon the scene of the group parting ways came to mind.

"This is it."

Shen Si stared intently at the camera. This was the spot where Jiang Tao separated from the others. What happened next? Keep watching to find out.

On the screen, Jiang Tao walks forward alone.

One step, two steps, ten steps, fifty steps.

Shen Si's brows furrowed more and more tightly.

What's going on? Judging from Jiang Tao's destination, he should be in the lounge, not leaving headquarters as I had imagined.

So how did he end up being captured by the Song family?

Could it be that something went wrong on Brother Chen's side?

Those around them, seeing this, dared not speak or ask any questions, but simply stared silently at the screen.

Finally, Jiang Tao arrived at the bedroom door, took out his access card, and opened the door. In the next moment, a shadow seemed to appear behind him, and the door closed immediately, as if nothing had happened.

The corridor on the screen was empty and very quiet.

"!!!"

Shen Si's eyes widened suddenly, somewhat unable to believe what she had just witnessed.

As for the others, they were completely unaware, and even felt a little bored.

Shortly after, the door opened, and a person dressed in a researcher's work clothes walked out of the room and headed outside.

Even the dumbest person would realize something was wrong at that moment.

The person who went in and the person who came out were clearly not the same person!

"This scene will play normally."

Shen Si took a deep breath, vaguely knowing what had happened, but he couldn't believe it. He couldn't believe that the Song family would be so audacious as to break into the headquarters in broad daylight and snatch someone away.

"Yes."

The camera then returns to the moment Jiang Tao opens the door.

He reached for the access card, opened the door, went in, and came out to find himself in a completely different place.

"President Shen, does this person know the art of disguise?" someone couldn't help but ask.

Otherwise, how can you explain that the person who came out looked different from before?

Shen Si shook his head upon hearing this.

After the video resumed playing at normal speed, the ghostly figure that had appeared at ten times the speed before was now visible to him.

It's normal that the people around them, whose martial arts level is too low, can't see it.

"Slow down ten times."

"Yes."

After the camera slowed down tenfold, everyone present was finally able to barely see what had happened.

It wasn't a disguise technique at all.

But the moment the person in front went in, the person in white rushed in after them.

"this……"

Everyone was speechless with astonishment.

Anyone with a brain can see that something is wrong.

The person in white came out from behind, but what about the person from before? Could something have happened to them?

Shen Si frowned deeply.

So, Jiang Tao told everything in his own room?

But how did that man in white manage to get the information he wanted in such a short time, from the moment he went in to the moment he came out, which was less than ten seconds?

Where is Jiang Tao?

Still in the lounge?

If they were still alive, they would probably be in grave danger by now.

"Buzz, buzz."

Just then, my phone vibrated.

Shen Si quickly answered the phone.

"President, we've searched the lounge. No one's there. We've also checked other places, and Jiang Tao hasn't been there either."

"What?" Shen Si was extremely shocked. "You're saying he's not in the training room?"

"Yes, President, we've checked carefully. It seems like Jiang Tao never came back at all. The things on the bed haven't been touched at all. President, could Jiang Tao have secretly left headquarters?"

"Damn it, that Jiang Tao! Didn't the president already call everyone over and tell them not to go out for the next few days? How come he still sneaked away?"

"No wonder he refused when we asked him to come with us, saying he was tired. It was just an excuse."

Everyone was furious, feeling cheated.

However, there was something even more worrying, because Shen Si made a special phone call, seemingly knowing something.

"President, Jiang Tao, what about him?"

"You guys go back first. I'll handle this," Shen Si said.

"Yes."

The people on the other end of the phone looked at each other, listening to the dial tone from the disconnected phone.

After a moment, someone asked in a trembling voice, "Jiang Tao... he couldn't have gotten into trouble, could he?"

"No, I don't know. I don't think so?"

"Why would a club president suddenly call us like this?"

"Could it be that he was...?"

"Alright, stop speculating. Since the president doesn't want us involved in this, let's stop thinking about it. For the next while, let's not go out."

"Um."

The group nodded in agreement.

A gloomy feeling hung over my heart, and I couldn't shake it off.

On the other side, Shen Si also felt a dark cloud hanging over her.

"Two cameras, one focused on this spot, watching to see if anyone else comes out from inside, and the other focused on this person, seeing where he goes afterward."

"Yes."

The scene quickly split in two.

The left side of the screen is very quiet. Even though people walk through the screen, the door remains completely still.

In the scene on the right, the man in white walks along the corridor, through the crowd, and finally into the hall. Then, he swaggers out and disappears into the crowd at the door.

"President..."

Someone spoke up as if to say something.

Shen Si raised her right hand, signaling him to be quiet.

His gaze remained fixed on the screen to the left.

Suddenly, several hurried figures appeared in the scene, banging on the door and calling Jiang Tao's name.

After receiving no response, one of them used brute force to break down the door.

From the time the man in white left until the others arrived as he had instructed, the door remained closed.

"So, Jiang Tao disappeared in the room? How did he leave the room?"

Shen Si's eyebrows furrowed into a tight knot.

Did they leave through a window, or a tunnel or something?

From a feasibility standpoint, it is indeed possible; even if Jiang Tao jumps from a height of several stories, he will not be injured.

Is it really necessary?

Moreover, the appearance of the man in white gave him a very bad feeling. He subconsciously felt that Jiang Tao was very likely taken away by the other party using some extremely secretive method.

Just like the treasure in the president's hand, it can put people inside and take them away.

His intuition told him that the second possibility was more likely.

"What you just saw, you mustn't tell anyone else, understand?" Shen Si said, glancing around the room.

"Yes, I understand!"

Everyone nodded like chickens pecking at rice.

"Um."

Shen Si nodded slightly, then quickly walked out.

After returning to the president's office, he locked the door and dialed Chen Fan's cell phone.

The call was quickly connected, and Chen Fan's voice came through.

"How's it going, Chairman Shen? Has the investigation been completed?"

Shen Si sighed and said, "Brother Chen, you're probably right about this. Jiang Tao has disappeared, and he disappeared at headquarters."

"Disappeared at headquarters?"

Chen Fan was also a little surprised.

"Yes, when he returned to his bedroom, he didn't know that there was someone in white who had been following him. The moment he opened the door, that person rushed in. A few seconds later, the person in white came out of the room and left the headquarters. And Jiang Tao, I guess, disappeared at that time."

"That's correct."

Chen Fan nodded.

"The Song family infiltrated the headquarters, targeted Chairman Shen and a few others, and kidnapped him when someone was alone."

"That's what I think too."

Shen Si took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in her heart.

The Song family is far too presumptuous!

They actually dared to enter the headquarters to arrest people; they clearly don't take the Jiangnan District Martial Arts Association seriously at all.

But saying these things to vent my emotions now doesn't really make much sense.

With Song Gang's death exposed and Jiang Tao most likely already dead, the next problem is finding them.
