Dai Zhiqiang's heart beat rapidly. How could he let this happen on his watch? He shouldn't have wasted so much ti outside.
Huang Zhen was targeting people who were close to him. It couldn't be that this was his main purpose all along. Was his attack on Li Caiyi a diversion for the actual attack?
A lot of thoughts flashed through his mind at once. When he finally arrived at Dai Bolin's room, he was greeted by an empty room. There was no sign of struggling. Huang Zhen probably disguised himself as him and took Dai Bolin out of his room.
To kidnap soone boldly in the daylight while he and other Ye Wang's mbers were on watch, Huang Zhen truly knew no fear.
"Shit!" Dai Zhiqiang cursed out loud before running out of the room. He took out his phone while running, intending to call the people responsible for watching over Dai Bolin while he was away, but he couldn't get through to any of them.
Did Huang Zhen get to them first? If not, there would be no explanation for why he wasn't inford about this until everything was too late.
Dai Zhiqiang's heart sank, imagining what could happen to his father. Only by sheer willpower alone did he not freak out just yet. Rather than panicking, he quickly called Lin Xiang next.
"Hello?"
"My father is missing. I think Huang Zhen got him." Dai Zhiqiang didn't miss a second and reported the gist of the situation. If he wanted to save his father, he needed information first.
Lin Xiang lighthearted voice imdiately turned grim. "The ti and place you last saw him?"
"Around one hour ago. In my father's hospital room."
There was commotion from the other side for a mont before Lin Xiang responded. "Got it. Hang on; we are checking on it. In the anti, stay close to your brother. Who knows if he is targeted too?"
"I'm on my way." Dai Zhiqiang hastened his pace.
"There was no response from the surveillance team. I already sent so people to check them and so others to gain access to the surrounding CCTV. We should be able to send so intel to you soon."
Dai Zhiqiang felt better when he heard that. He was perturbed but couldn't act recklessly in a situation like this. Having more information at this crucial ti would be very beneficial.
He hung up the phone and returned to the yard. As Lin Xiang said, he had to secure those around him before thinking about his next move. Li Caiyi and Dai Shenqiang must be very shocked about this, but he left them just like that.
When he finally arrived at his destination, he was confused when he only saw Dai Shenqiang pacing back and forth.
"Shen, where is Caiyi?"
Dai Shenqiang mirrored his confused expression and asked, "Huh? Isn't she with you? She chased after you as soon as you bolted in a hurry. Didn't you see him on the way back?"
A horrible feeling engulfed Dai Zhiqiang's whole body. One by one, people who were previous to him were nowhere to be seen.
He grabbed Dai Shenqiang's shoulder and roared, "Why didn't you stay with her? Don't you know it's dangerous letting her go alone?!"
Dai Shenqiang was startled and scared simultaneously at his brother's outburst. "Wh-What happened, Big Brother? Did sothing happen to Caiyi?"
Dai Zhiqiang gritted his teeth before releasing him. He desperately tried to force his brain to work.
His brother knew nothing about how Li Caiyi had fallen prey to Huang Zhen's evil sche a few tis. He was getting too agitated and knew he wouldn't be able to search for them efficiently if he kept this on.
Dai Shenqiang watched how his brother, who seed scary a while ago, gradually regained his composure. He took courage and asked carefully, "Big Brother, where is Father? And what do you an by Caiyi is in danger? Did I do sothing wrong?"
"No. This isn't your fault. I panicked and lashed out at you; sorry about that."
"That's not important right now. Brother, you are not acting like your usual self. Do you think sothing bad happened to the two of them?"
Dai Zhiqiang could sense his anxiety, so he smiled reassuringly before tapping his shoulders a few tis. "Shen, I need you to do sothing for . This is extrely important if we want to find Father and Caiyi."
"What is it? What should I do?"
"Soon, there will be so people who co here for you. They are my friends and very trustworthy. I want you to stick close to them and wait for to return."
It wasn't the first ti Dai Zhiqiang told him to stay back while he went to beat people who bullied him. Dai Shenqiang wasn't clueless to figure out that his brother was trying to involve himself in sothing dangerous again.
"Wait, no. I'll go with you, Brother."
"You can't. There must be at least one person who waits for them to return." Dai Zhiqiang's smile deepened. "Shen, I want you to believe in . Let's play hide and seek like the old ti, alright? You hide, and I will search for you. Don't worry, I won't overdo it."
Dai Shenqiang bit his lips but couldn't say anything except, "Make sure you don't get hurt badly."
"En. Leave it to your brother. I promise I will return with those two with ."
***
For the nth ti, Li Caiyi thought this might be the stupidest idea ever. However, there was no ti to hesitate in an urgent situation like this.
Based on what Dai Shenqiang said, she had an idea of who could take Dai Bolin from his room. And from Dai Zhiqiang's reaction, he probably had the sa thought as her. She would never forget his frantic and scared expression as he ran into the building.
Li Caiyi was worried and chased after him imdiately, but he was too fast. While she trudged in the hallway, her phone vibrated in her pocket. The content of the new ssage shocked her to the bone.
[Let's play another round of the ga. Who will be the first to save the unknown villager from the boss monster?]
It ca from an unknown number. With this timing and that way of speaking, there was no mistaking it. This ssage was sent by Huang Zhen!
Li Caiyi imdiately tried to call him, but the line couldn't connect. She was so angry she wanted to scream.
After what he did to her sister, now he wanted to play with a sick man's life at risk?
Just what does this person think a human's life is?!
The next mont, a new ssage popped on her monitor screen. It was a picture of a building with so address below it.
[I will leave this clue only for you since you are my favorite player. That ans no one should know about it. You know what happens if you disobey the rule, right?]
[Soone will bear the punishnt, and because I like you, I will punish soone beside you.]
[The ti limit is one hour. Good luck.]
Li Caiyi gritted her teeth in frustration. The ssage just now disappeared before she could make up her mind. Thankfully, she still rembered the address and the building in the picture.
Huang Zhen clearly wanted to lure her out alone. This was most likely a trap.
She glanced in the direction Dai Zhiqiang went hesitantly as she pondered for a mont. Dai Bolin's life was at stake; she dared not to take a risk.
In the end, she turned around and ran in the opposite direction towards the hospital entrance.
Even if it was a trap, Li Caiyi still had no choice but to follow the rule and win this ga!
