The sound of hurried footsteps reached Ji Yang's ears as he pretended to be fast asleep in bed.
"Secretary Ji, Secretary Ji…" a calling voice rang out.
Ji Yang feigned the look of someone waking from a hangover, opened his eyes, and said with some confusion, "Who are you?"
The room was now full of people, their expressions complex.
"Secretary Ji, something terrible has happened!"
The speaker was an official, who had been introduced during the previous night's drinking, but Ji Yang couldn't remember him.
"Where's Huang Song?" Ji Yang asked gravely.
"Secretary Ji, Secretary Huang Song and the others have all gone missing!"
Ji Yang responded with a sense of disbelief, "What's going on?"
Another official quickly stated, "Secretary Ji, several families have had incidents today; their people have suddenly disappeared."
"Gone missing?" Ji Yang seemed even more puzzled and rubbed his temples.
