I was a rookie reporter in the 00s

Lin Wanqing sat on the sofa in the living room, tightly clutching a cup of warm tea. The steam from the tea curled up in front of her, but it couldn't dispel the chill in her heart. The night outside the window was as dark as ink, and twinkling stars in the distance seemed to mock her helplessness.

She glanced at the door from time to time, her heart filled with anticipation and uneasiness. Lin Hao had been missing for a week, and this wasn't the first time he'd come home late, but this time was completely different. In the past, he'd always called ahead to let her know, even if he was just working late, he'd comfort her over the phone and tell her not to worry. But this time, no one answered the phone, leaving only a cold busy tone.

Lin Wanqing sighed softly, placed her teacup on the coffee table, stood up, and slowly walked to the window. She drew aside the curtains and looked out at the street, silently praying for Lin Hao to appear. However, the streets were sparsely populated, with only the occasional passing car breaking the night's tranquility.

"Hao, where have you been?" she whispered softly, with a hint of trembling in her voice.

Lin Wanqing wasn't prone to anxiety; she was known for her calmness and rationality. But this time, Lin Hao's disappearance had left her feeling a sense of unprecedented fear. She remembered that they had dinner together the night before Lin Hao disappeared. He looked normal, though occasionally lost in thought, but otherwise exhibited no abnormalities.

However, the next morning, Lin Hao left for work as usual and never returned. At first, Lin Wanqing didn't take it too seriously, thinking he was just on a whim and would be back soon. But as time went on, Lin Hao's phone remained off, and his company said they had no news from him. This made her feel uneasy.

She tried to contact Lin Hao's colleagues and friends, but no one knew his whereabouts. Suspicion gradually arose in Lin Wanqing's heart, and she began to recall every detail before Lin Hao's disappearance, trying to find some clues.

Lin Wanqing sat at her desk, flipping through a thick diary she had kept since she and Lin Hao got married. She flipped through the pages, trying to find some clues.

"Hao, have you been worried about something recently?" Lin Wanqing whispered to herself, with a hint of confusion in her eyes.

She remembered that Lin Hao had seemed a little absent-minded recently, often falling silent suddenly, with a hint of melancholy in his eyes. But whenever she asked him about it, he would always smile and say, "Nothing, just some pressure at work." Lin Wanqing didn't take it too seriously. She knew that Lin Hao's work pressure had always been high, but it had never affected their lives.

However, this disappearance forced her to re-examine these details. She recalled that a few days before Lin Hao disappeared, he had received a mysterious phone call. The voice on the other end of the phone was very low, and Lin Hao's face became a little solemn. After he hung up the phone hurriedly, he simply said to Lin Wanqing: "There is an urgent matter at the company. I have to leave first."

Lin Wanqing didn't think much of it at the time, but now she realized that the call might be a key clue. She tried to recall the content of the call, but all she remembered was Lin Hao's solemn expression and hurried words.

"Hao, what kind of call did you receive?" Lin Wanqing murmured softly, her heart full of doubts.

She decided to go to Lin Hao's company to see if there might be more clues. She put on her coat, picked up her car keys, and drove to Lin Hao's company.

Lin Hao's company is located in an office building in the city center. It is luxuriously decorated and full of modern atmosphere. Lin Wanqing walked into the company and went directly to Lin Hao's office. In the office, Lin Hao's assistant Xiao Li was sorting documents. When he saw Lin Wanqing come in, he was slightly surprised.

"Mrs. Lin, why are you here?" Xiao Li stood up with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Lin Wanqing smiled slightly: "I want to take a look at Hao's office, maybe I can find some clues."

Xiao Li nodded and motioned Lin Wanqing to sit down. "Mr. Lin has indeed been worried about something recently, but he has never told me anything."

Lin Wanqing walked over to Lin Hao's desk, gently opened the drawer, and began to look through the documents inside. She found some of Lin Hao's recent work documents, but didn't notice anything unusual. However, when she flipped to the bottom, she found a piece of paper with a string of numbers and a name on it - "Tiancheng Group".

"Tiancheng Group?" Lin Wanqing whispered, her heart full of doubts.

She remembered that Lin Hao had mentioned this name before, but he didn't say anything in detail. She decided to look up information about the Tiancheng Group to see if she could find any clues.

Lin Wanqing left Lin Hao's office and went to the company's data room, where she began to research Tiancheng Group. She discovered that Tiancheng Group was an emerging technology company that had recently caused quite a stir within the industry. However, there didn't seem to be any direct connection between Lin Hao and Tiancheng Group.

"Hao, what is your relationship with 'Tiancheng Group'?" Lin Wanqing murmured softly, her heart full of doubts.

She decided to go to the Tiancheng Group to see if there might be more clues there. She walked out of the company and drove to the headquarters of the Tiancheng Group.

The headquarters of Tiancheng Group is located in a high-rise building in the city center. It is luxuriously decorated and full of modern atmosphere. Lin Wanqing walked into the company and went directly to the president's office.

In the office, CEO Chen Tian sat behind his desk with a cold look in his eyes: "Mrs. Lin, why are you here?"

Lin Wanqing smiled slightly: "Mr. Chen, I want to ask you, what kind of cooperation do you have with Lin Hao?"

Chen Tian was slightly stunned, then smiled: "Lin Hao is missing? I don't know. His cooperation with our company has always been smooth. I don't understand why he disappeared."

Lin Wanqing walked to Chen Tian's desk and picked up the note: "Mr. Chen, do you know what this string of numbers means?"

Chen Tian was slightly stunned, then shook his head: "I don't know, maybe it's Lin Hao's personal notes."

Lin Wanqing smiled slightly: "Mr. Chen, I hope you can cooperate with our investigation. Maybe you know something we don't know."

Chen Tian nodded: "I will cooperate with your investigation. However, I really don't know why Lin Hao disappeared."

Lin Wanqing left the Tiancheng Group, filled with doubts. She decided to seek out a professional investigation team to see if they could find any clues. So, she approached the famous "iron triangle"—Zhang Wanqing, Fu Siyuan, and Li Wei—and asked them to investigate her husband's disappearance.
