Yibo was about to go to the bed when he received a call, dueling for a moment.....finally Yibo picked up the call.

"hello!!!"..............Yibo kept his voice calm

"Mr.Wang!!! it is me......Mr.Yu, Zhan's advisor".........The other side answered with fermented voice

"Yes......I know it is you....Mr.Yu.....may I know the urgency for which you called me at this hour of the day?"................Yibo asked eyeing on the wall clock which was indicating it was past 1pm

"I am really sorry if I have disturbed Mr.Wang but I request Mr.Wang's presence at Sean Empire right now"............Mr.Yu answered 

"Are you kidding me Mr.Yu anyway???? you want me at.........".............Yibo was about to protest or enquire but cut by Mr.Yu

"It is about Zhan"

"I will be there in 15 mins"

With no traffic and a Kawasaki (superfast bike).......Yibo reached Sean Crop. estate in 13 mins only.

As an International MNC, employees worked here in rotational shift, so the building wasn't empty but not much crowded as daytime.....upon seeing Yibo the guards bowed respectfully and ushered him towards the top floor where he found Mr.Yu, a man in his early fifties was walking back and forth in a restless manner. 

"Mr.Yu!!!!"

"Aahh!! Mr.Wang!!!"...........Yu greeted and about to bow when Yibo stopped him

"Please don't.........just tell me what's the matter and where is Zhan?"............Yibo asked 

"Actually from last 4 days he has not returned home and......".............Yu couldn't complete as Yibo cut

"What????"

"I see....you are unaware......sigh!!!.....the main matter is yesterday around 5 pm I last met him and then went to another city..........I had returned just few hours ago and decided to submit the file in the office only........But  the information I had gathered that concluded only one thing

No one had seen him after I left yesterday and I had confirmed he is not at home additionally his cabin is locked from inside and according to the sensors he is inside only but not responding."...................Yu paused

"I know I could have asked Master Xiao or Madam Xiao for CCTV access or help but as you are aware how Zhan had been maintaining utmost distant from his family after they had that big fight......so I thought to call you first"..............Yu finally completed

Yibo was not at all aware of such information.....it was like a lightening hit him out of blue.....he somehow composed his expression as he was not wanted to get caught by Yu.

"So what should I do now?"............Yibo asked

"Obviously open the door of his cabin".............Yu answered flatly

"Me.........how?....You himself mentioned the door is locked"................Yibo was  totally bewildered

"But you have the biometric access.....I clearly remember Zhan inserting your details on the very first day you visited the office with him."...............Yu informed 

Yibo remembered....Yes!!!....While giving Yibo a tour Zhan input Yibo's biometric but that time Yibo considered it as a casual act and applicable to all.

"So anyone can open the door whose biometric is there?"..........Yibo asked in curiosity 

"Yes but Biometric is the ultimate security line and apart from Zhan, himself only 3 people had this access....Master Xiao, Madam Xiao and You"............Yu replied 

Yibo had no reasoning how should he digest all these information......but right now his concern was only Zhan, So without wasting time as per Yu's words.......Yibo entered his biometrics on the system and as Yu said the door accept it as a passcode.

The door opened and a strong smell hit both Yu and Yibo's nostrils which is nothing but a layer of smoke of cigarettes mixed with strong pungent alcohol essence.

The room was pitched black as all the curtains were closed and lights were off. Yu stepped first and turned on the light only to witness a scene that made his blood  boil.
