Ren Xiaosu and the Great Hoodwinker tirelessly made their way back and forth between the Northwest and the Central Plains to abduct the refugees, truly enjoying it as they did so.
All of the Zhou Consortium's officials seemed to have suddenly lost their sight and hearing. They could not see or hear whatever that was going on and just hid in the stronghold without making any fuss about the abduction. They did not care, and they did not ask.
When a reporter found out about this, he even went to interview the Zhou Consortium officials. However, they refused to meet him.
Moreover, some of the Zhou Consortium's officials had also mysteriously disappeared.
At first, everyone thought that one of the officials might have fallen sick, so he did not come to work. But after two days, they felt that something was off. They could not get through to the official's home line either, so some people started wondering if something had happened.
