Chapter 1242 - 1242: Concealing One's Identity and Persona

After connecting the call.

The voice that came through was that of an old doctor from the research institute.

"It's me, Lin Feng."

Upon hearing Lin Feng's voice, the old doctor quickly said:

"Oh, it's you, boss Lin Feng. I wonder if you called us for something?"

"Our project is progressing very smoothly on this side."

Lin Feng nodded after hearing this.

Since the other party said the research is going very smoothly, it means that the project doesn't temporarily require Xiao Chen and can be completed together.

So Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

Regarding Xiao Chen's matter, he felt more at ease, even if he can't be found, the project can continue.

It won't delay the development of his project.

"I just came to tell you this time, whether Xiao Chen is here or not, you must complete the research on the first batch of drug products within six days."

"I have to see the press conference in six days, so this is very important. As for news about Xiao Chen, I won't let anyone go looking."

"Rest assured, I won't let such a good employee like Xiao Chen disappear just like that."

After hearing his words, the old doctor was deeply moved because he didn't expect Lin Feng to give them an opportunity.

To have a chance to find Xiao Chen, so everyone was moved to tears.

Several other researchers couldn't help but say to Lin Feng over the phone.

"Director Lin, you don't understand how much we hope Xiao Chen returns; when Xiao Chen was here, the atmosphere in our laboratory was so much better."

"Without him now, we don't know who to turn to for help."

To be honest, these laboratory researchers depend heavily on Xiao Chen; Xiao Chen is not just a colleague to them.

He's also a great partner; whenever Xiao Chen was around before, they would mutually assist each other.

Now the difference is due to Xiao Chen's absence, they can't find a helper anymore.

For the first time, Lin Feng heard his group of employees speak to him about another researcher from their line.

This was quite a shock for him, although he was fairly young, he had a basic understanding of society.

Generally, colleagues are very courteous to each other because they work in the same environment, so everyone smiles and doesn't offend anyone.

But people like Xiao Chen, even if he's often absent and mysteriously disappears for a while.

When he returns, colleagues are quick to forgive him and depend on him deeply.

This is indicative of Xiao Chen's personal charisma and capability, gaining everyone's recognition.

If it wasn't for him, surely so many people wouldn't be hoping for Xiao Chen's return?

Thus, as Xiao Chen's boss, Lin Feng.

Whether due to his responsibility outlined in the labor contract or because of social niceties, he must find Xiao Chen.

He gripped the phone, and a surge of anger rose from his heart, knowing how people like Xiao Chen.

Usually, if he went missing for half a day, he would proactively call him to report problems.

Or directly contact someone from the company.

But this time, for a whole night plus daytime, there's been no contact.

That can only indicate something really happened to him.

This was Lin Feng's intuition as a boss, so he promised the researchers on the phone.

"Rest assured, since I'm your boss, I naturally have to ensure your safety."

"You can continue the research project in the lab, and I will send someone to find him as soon as possible, but right now, it's not yet twenty-four hours, so we can't report it."

"So we can only handle it privately, and not knowing what exactly happened to him, I advise against reporting it to avoid alarming anyone. What do you think?"

Upon hearing Lin Feng's willingness to personally search for Xiao Chen, it was very reassuring for them. They nodded and said.

"That's really great, boss. With your assurance, we're really happy. Boss, go ahead and find someone quickly; if he can be found, that's best. If not, we'll report it."

Lin Feng nodded and hung up the phone.

Previously, these people had to concentrate on researching new projects.

Because Lin Feng was worried these staff would be so concerned about Xiao Chen's fate that they'd forget their work responsibilities.

Though his worries were unnecessary, those researchers still knew what their tasks were.

So after hanging up the phone, they all invested themselves in the production of the new batch of drugs.

The oldest doctor stepped forward to everyone and said, "Since the boss treats our employees well, let's give him a surprise."

"Anyway, after the first batch of drugs is produced, we'll continue to produce more, so let's process this batch ahead of schedule."

"When the boss finds Xiao Chen, we won't mind giving him a surprise; if not found, we'll figure it out ourselves."

Everyone nodded and threw themselves into their work.

After hanging up, Lin Feng called his childhood friend Li Tian again, pressing him to say, "How's your side doing?"

"This morning, I asked my high school friend, he said he hasn't found anyone yet, but he will keep searching for me. How about you?"

The person on the other end took a deep breath and shook his head, saying.

"There's nothing I can do either; I haven't found him. But I will keep searching, just give me some time, how am I supposed to know where your employee went?"

"Logically, this shouldn't be the case. I have plenty of people in Jiangcheng; if I order them to find someone, they can do so in just one night."

"Unless the person is deeply hidden, it'd be hard to find them; think about whether your employee knows anyone or is secretly some big shot."

Lin Feng shook his head and confidently said, "No way, before they joined my company, I already vetted all their information, so they couldn't possibly be big shots hiding their identities."

"So there's only one reason, and that's he's really been kidnapped."
