The following day, Zhong Feng left Supreme City for Russia. Before he left, he put Assistant Chen in charge of finding out more about Dong Chen Publishing. He would not allow that issue to escalate and compromise Hu Lei in absentia.
During his flight, he thought about the information contained in the brown envelope he had hidden in the safe. He felt morose when he remembered the words in that file, particularly the details from thirteen years ago when Hu Lei had been only nine years old.
The report had mentioned that Hu Lei had been one of the children who had been kidnapped. According to sealed police files on the incident, a group of children were found in a lab after missing for varying periods of time. Hu Lei had been missing for a year.
