Gu Qixiao also realized Ji Yu’s disappearance. He hadn’t been in the best state to begin with, and upon learning about this, he started to lose control.
"How on earth are you people handling things? Why did you wait until after she went missing to let know? Couldn’t you have started looking for her the mont she disappeared? Maybe, at that ti, she hadn’t even been taken very far."
Every ti he brought this up, an unbearable pain surged in his chest. He had no idea when he’d finally be able to find Ji Yu again.
Mr. Gu didn’t know how to react to the situation. But since Ji Yu was clearly in danger, it wasn’t sothing they could just ignore—it was a matter tied to them in the first place.
"Don’t panic for now. The best thing to do in this situation is to check nearby surveillance caras first. There might be so clues. It’s even possible that the other party deliberately left traces for us to follow to her."
Actually, the pri suspect right now was most likely Jiang Huai. He hadn’t appeared for so ti, yet his actions continued to impact their lives.
"That damn Jiang Huai, how much longer is he planning to tornt us? Doesn’t he realize he’s already been excluded from these events?"
Jiang Huai was the unnecessary party, but now he had thrown their lives into chaos.
"Stop assuming things for now. Jiang Huai might not even be the culprit this ti. Of course, you can still consider him a suspect."
At the mont, there weren’t any concrete leads. It might be better just to try sothing and see what cos of it.
Because of Ji Yu’s disappearance, everyone was now frantically searching for her. No one wanted to risk anything happening to her.
"A little while ago, Yu seed to have asked about Wu Zeyu. At that ti, I didn’t think much of it, but now it seems very likely to be connected to that group."
Hu Jianyu slapped his own thigh in regret when he thought about this. Why hadn’t he realized there was sothing off back then?
Even now that the connection dawned on him, no one knew where that brat might be hiding.
He went straight to the Wu family residence, but by now, the place had already been emptied out. No clue where they had moved to—it was clear they’d prepared for this in advance, all for today.
"It seems this really isn’t unrelated to them. If it were, they wouldn’t have moved so hastily, without notifying anyone. Sneaking away like this is highly suspicious."
Assistant Li glanced at the situation before him and suddenly recalled sothing from earlier.
"There was a similar situation with Jiang Huai before. Back then, though, he appeared with a completely different face. The guy is incredibly skilled at altering appearances—he can easily switch to a new face whenever he wants."
It’s possible the Wu Zeyu they’d t wasn’t the real Wu Zeyu. By the second eting, the person might already have been replaced, and they simply hadn’t noticed.
The situation suddenly beca deeply entangled and mysterious, highly unusual for their lives. Yet now, it was undeniably happening right in front of them.
"Since we have a lead, we should start by locating Jiang Huai. I know soone from their organization—maybe we can gain so insights there."
anwhile, Fan Mingxing was deeply troubled. It had been a long ti since he’d last found any trace of Jiang Huai, and he still had no clue where the man might be hiding.
"President Gu, even if you co to , there’s nothing I can do. I haven’t been able to contact him either, and all the ss he left behind still needs to be dealt with. Now that he’s disappeared, we’re just as anxious as you are."
Jiang Huai was likely the most critical figure in their organization.
"I have no idea when we’ll be able to trace him, but when we do, I’ll let you know imdiately. However, if you scare him off again, our organization may co after you for revenge."
This matter was far too significant for them to compromise on it.
"I understand your position. I’ve never wanted to kill him. I just want the antidote, and I want to bring my beloved back."
Hearing this, Fan Mingxing felt rather awkward. They were an engaged couple, after all. A perfect pair torn apart in this way, subjected to so much hardship—it just didn’t seem right.
"Admittedly, he was in the wrong on this matter. When the ti cos, I’ll see if I can help you find her. Besides, I don’t believe he’d truly harm Ji Yu."
After all, this looked more like two n fighting over one woman. Which of them Ji Yu actually loved, though, remained uncertain.
"If you find any leads, please notify imdiately. If anything happens to her, I’m not sure I can accept it as reality."
If he completely lost it, there was no telling what he might do. Fan Mingxing understood all too well that this was essentially a veiled threat.
After the others left, he sighed heavily. He truly had no idea how to proceed in finding them.
"That Jiang Huai really does have a knack for leaving disaster in his wake. Everything is such a ss now, and he’s gone missing on top of it."
But there wasn’t much he could do. Jiang Huai’s abilities gave him leverage—without those, the organization likely would’ve expelled him long ago.
"Jiang Huai, if you don’t show up soon, the organization might descend into chaos. If sothing’s wrong, you could at least tell . There’s no need to go to such extre lengths."
He’d lost count of how many ssages he’d left for Jiang Huai, but there was still no reply. It felt as if his words were sinking into the void, and he had no idea what kind of accident or ergency might have caused this.
In truth, Jiang Huai hadn’t even checked his phone or emails. He was entirely focused on working on the antidote. He couldn’t stand the thought of watching Ji Yu die before his eyes.
As he looked at her gradually paling face, his chest tightened in overwhelming pain.
"I always thought I was cold and unfeeling, but it seems when it cos to you, I can’t help but be concerned. If sothing happens to you, I won’t let anyone else off the hook."
The "anyone else" he referred to wasn’t limited to Gu Qixiao and his group—it extended to everyone in the entire city.
"You’re acting like a lunatic. Why does every word out of your mouth sound like a threat to ?" She wanted to survive just as much, but the circumstances didn’t seem to be in her favor.
