Chapter 412 - 167 Smuggling
"Vida, go to my room and get the data on the missing residents of Baiyun Mountain."
"Okay." Vida nodded and quickly left.
After sending Vida off, Lu Hong turned to Torian and said, "I need you to find someone for me—the current Clan Leader of the Gold family. Have him come here to see me."
"This, uh..." Torian guessed Lu Hong’s intentions. "Baron, I’d better stay with you."
"This matter is of great importance, you must go now. I’m not leaving the Baiyun Mountain Settlement. Return as soon as you can. If the current Clan Leader of the Gold family doesn’t come, have Lord Lu please him." Lu Hong spoke decisively. Torian understood that further refusal might arouse suspicion, so he nodded and turned to leave.
Free from their company, Lu Hong’s gaze flickered to the left alley as if noticing someone tailing him.
Based on last night’s investigation into the missing people, the first disappearance happened in Baiyun Mountain, and afterward, most were elderly. All occurred within the Baiyun Mountain Settlement and radiated out to the mountainous settlements over a month, while the plain and townside settlements had no such issues with disappearing elderly. This suggested a link between the disappearances and the mountains.
Since he couldn’t get any useful information, Lu Hong decided to go deep into Baiyun Mountain himself to find more clues.
The Baiyun Mountain range was vast and had many peaks. Lu Hong decided to start with the nearest ones.
He had a suspicion based on the historical records from his own world, which seemed likely to repeat itself here.
