Chapter 1402: Chapter 1451: ng Xiaofei Is Missing
Li Yifei left Villa No. 12, secretly thinking that this trip was worthwhile. Li Musheng was indeed planning revenge, and if he hadn’t appeared, the people of Cang Village would have suffered. This trip solved the problem of Cang Village while also recruiting a free assistant in Central Plains City.
After Li Yifei left, Li Musheng suddenly felt a shock half a day later, and quickly took off his pants to check a certain part of himself. He would never forget Li Yifei’s words before leaving: "I’ve placed sothing inside you; now you can’t be a man anymore, but don’t worry, it’s just a test. You’ll recover naturally in seven days."
The first thing Li Musheng did was check below, shaking it a few tis, but felt nothing. In a panic, he rushed upstairs and woke two young models. As they groggily ca to, Li Musheng grabbed their hair and pushed their heads down.
More than ten minutes later, Li Musheng lay on the bed helplessly, while the two models were completely clueless.
Li Musheng felt a sense of hopelessness, lying on the bed weakly saying, "It’s over, it turns out to be true. He only patted
on the shoulder, how could this happen..."
At this mont, Li Musheng no longer had any thoughts of attacking Li Yifei, and he knew that he had encountered a higher level of skill. It took just one move to make him not a man anymore, and for Li Musheng, there was no fun left in life if he couldn’t be a man.
To Li Yifei, this was just a prank; although he could be a man now, he could only do so with Na Yi, while he dared not touch other won even if he wanted to...
With Li Musheng dealt with, Li Yifei made another trip to Wangwu Mountain, but found nothing this ti. He encountered so Taoist priests, but none were the ones he was seeking. There were no true masters left in the mountain.
Leaving the mountain only took half a day for Li Yifei as he fully activated his True Qi, running through the forest at an impressive speed. It was a small mountain village surrounded by hills, with the sight stretching far.
Upon exiting, Li Yifei imdiately took out his phone from his backpack; there was no signal in the mountain. Turning on the phone yielded no results and wasted its battery. Li Yifei planned to contact the tour guide to pick him up.
As soon as the phone turned on, nurous ssages flooded in. A quick glance revealed greetings from won, but when he saw the most recent ones, Li Yifei’s eyes twitched. The latest ssage was from last night, where Xu Yingying asked him to call back as soon as possible.
Li Yifei frowned. Once the phone finished booting up, he quickly dialed Xu Yingying’s number.
The phone rang just once before it was answered, and Xu Yingying’s sowhat urgent voice ca through: "Yifei, you finally turned on your phone. Where are you?"
Xu Yingying rarely sounded so flustered, prompting Li Yifei to ask urgently: "Did sothing happen at ho?"
There was so noise on Xu Yingying’s end, causing her to raise her voice a bit, "Nothing’s wrong at ho, it’s Xiaofei. Her flight was to the provincial city last night. After landing, she called Yiyi, saying she wanted to eat Sichuan cuisine and asked Yiyi to help prepare. But until now, Xiaofei hasn’t arrived ho, and calling her shows that the phone is off!"
Upon hearing that ng Xiaofei was missing, Li Yifei felt a jolt and imdiately asked, "Are you sure Xiaofei didn’t go to a friend’s house or have so unexpected matters?"
Xu Yingying replied, "I contacted Xiaofei’s leader and colleagues. One colleague, who gets along well with Xiaofei, said she ntioned driving back to Mile City while changing clothes, as her family was waiting for dinner. The airport’s caras showed Xiaofei leaving the airport after 6 p.m. yesterday. I also called Xiaofei’s family, but they didn’t receive any calls from her. I’ve already sent people to search in Mile City."
Missing since last night, Li Yifei checked his phone, and it was already nearing noon. ng Xiaofei has been out of touch for nearly twenty hours.
Nearby, Su ngxin recognized it was Li Yifei on the call and snatched the phone from Xu Yingying, saying urgently, "Yifei, where are you? If nothing major, co back first. Share your location with , and I’ll arrange a plane to pick you up directly. I suspect the Sunx Family did this; we’ve been pushing them too hard lately, and they might be desperate. We all stay at ho regularly, so the Sunx Family can’t act. Xiaofei is the only one outside, and she went missing in the provincial city last night..."
Li Yifei was also concerned that the Sunx Family might have kidnapped ng Xiaofei, so he didn’t dawdle and said directly, "I’m near Wangwu Mountain. For the exact location, let
ask soone; then I’ll give it to you. You go ahead and contact the plane!"
Su ngxin agreed, and Li Yifei hung up the phone, walked into the village, found soone to ask about his geographic location, sent the location to Su ngxin, and then contacted the security at ho, ordering them to form two teams, gear up, and head to the provincial city imdiately. At the sa ti, they started reaching out to so of ng Xiaofei’s friends for help.
While he was outside and being anxious was futile, Li Yifei remained calm in such monts, issuing orders one by one, causing the won to feel so relief.
The incident happened last night; ng Xiaofei was supposed to arrive ho quickly. Initially, not arriving ho made everyone think it might have been traffic on the road or ng Xiaofei had so sudden matters causing a delay, so they didn’t worry. But when it turned past ten o’clock, and ng Xiaofei still hadn’t returned ho, Su Yiyi started making calls, but the phone was already unreachable.
From this, it could be deduced that ng Xiaofei was missing before ten o’clock.
While waiting for the plane, Li Yifei maintained communication via phone, as ssage after ssage ca in. Using the Ye family’s connections, they found that none of the Public Security Bureau or police stations in the provincial city had detained anyone nad ng Xiaofei, and the major hospitals treating ergency patients last night didn’t have anyone nad ng Xiaofei. Even leveraging privileges, they checked the provincial city and Mile City’s large hotels and inns, and there was no record of ng Xiaofei’s stay.
An hour later, a civilian helicopter landed. Li Yifei boarded the helicopter, which quickly ascended, heading for Mile City. During the flight, more information ca in. The security team, along with mbers of the provincial city Ye Family, checked all the major road sections’ caras from the airport where ng Xiaofei might have passed, discovering that ng Xiaofei exited the airport highway at 6:40 but didn’t go straight to the Outer Ring highway heading to Mile City. Instead, she veered off the airport highway towards the city.
Li Yifei then quickly coordinated personnel to explore city routes. Various intersection caras played their roles, tracing the license plate to find that ng Xiaofei visited a local specialty shop after leaving the highway, ordered several als, took them to go, and drove away half an hour later. The car continued forward, returning to the highway heading to Mile City from the provincial city.
At the toll station, the video showed ng Xiaofei paid the fee and entered the highway at 7:20. Caras recorded that she was driving alone.
However, there were no caras on the highway, and Mile City’s toll station didn’t capture her car arriving.
Taking the map, Li Yifei listened to Su Yiyi’s report over the phone,
After a few glances, Li Yifei said to Su Yiyi, "This stretch of highway has a total of four exits, Mile City exit, another prefecture-level city, and two county exits. Imdiately find soone to check the footage of these three exits."
Su Yiyi replied, "Okay, I’ll make contact right away."
Half an hour later, feedback ca back with no discovery of the car exiting the highway, confirming that ng Xiaofei’s car wasn’t on the highway.
Vanished into thin air? Li Yifei heard this news and shook his head promptly. By then, the helicopter had covered half the distance. Switching to a satellite phone, he called Lin Qiong, who was already leading a team to the provincial city, setting up police forces along the way for investigation. One thing was certain: there was no trace of ng Xiaofei’s car on the highway, nor was there any evidence of disruption, and no accidents occurred on the highway the previous night.
After ruling that out, Li Yifei questioned Lin Qiong, "Lin Qiong, are you sure Xiaofei’s car didn’t exit any highway exits?"
Lin Qiong replied, "There’s no feedback in the footage. Barriers and trenches are placed along the way; driving directly off the highway is almost impossible, but we can’t entirely dismiss this possibility. I’m conducting a two-way inspection."
Li Yifei nodded and said, "You’re the expert in tracking clues. Just rember, whatever happens, pursue it to the end, and if anyone obstructs, no matter who, ignore them. Have them co to
if they have anything to say, and I’ll talk to them!"
Lin Qiong stood firm in her convictions. When investigating others’ cases, Lin Qiong was always at the forefront, facing any challenges and obstacles courageously. Now, investigating a family mber’s case, she would naturally be extra diligent. She faced challenges, as a deputy director of the Mile City Sub-bureau, yet hadn’t been promoted to director, aning her rank was not high enough. Short-term contact with several brother units along the route mostly received no cooperation. Moreover, the highway system and local jurisdiction weren’t unified, requiring contact with the Provincial Departnt. Lin Qiong had reported it, but it sank without trace. In a mont of urgency, she directly led people to a few highway exits and used martial strength to access them. Subsequently, she received several calls from provincial city leaders criticizing her for lacking organizational discipline.
Lin Qiong didn’t care about these; her initial concern was that ng Xiaofei might have so sudden business, going sowhere. After all, she traveled frequently, flying here and there, often unreachable for a day or two. Missing for less than twenty hours theoretically wasn’t long, but upon landing, she usually sent Su Yiyi a ssage, made a call, and checked in safely. Especially since she explicitly stated she was going ho yesterday, yet didn’t.
As the investigation progressed, Lin Qiong beca increasingly convinced that this large-scale mobilization was justified. A car mysteriously disappearing on a highway with no feedback along the way was the real abnormality.
The highway from Mile City to the provincial city is a terminus with no possibility to bypass Mile City and go to other cities, which limited the investigation scope. These peculiarities led Lin Qiong to conclude that sothing had indeed happened to ng Xiaofei.
Li Yifei was aware of this, but the helicopter was at maximum speed, thanks to Su ngxin leveraging her privileges. Otherwise, with aviation control in place, applying for a civil helicopter flight route couldn’t be done in a short ti.
