Hou Wendong strained to dredge up fragments of memory, desperately trying to piece together a complete picture, but he hopelessly found that he saw and heard too little at the time to capture any useful information.
"Damn it!!!" Hou Wendong's emotions were almost out of control, his fists clenched tightly, veins bulging on his temples.
The physical pain forced him to calm down. He shifted his thoughts, beginning to self-examine, "Alright, I need to be rational. Who have I offended recently? Who would have the audacity to kidnap me?"
He started to review recent events one by one, as if combing through a complex web:
"Yesterday, I exposed Mr. Li's scandal; the day before that, I bribed a researcher from Holy Light Pharmaceutical; not long ago, I did something for Mr. Wang, which resulted in a conflict with the law firm..."
Hou Wendong's thoughts traveled through the timeline, he continued to recall: "Four days ago, I..."
"Five days ago..."
"..."
