The next day, early in the morning.
Li Xiaoyao, as usual, got up early to practice boxing and cook breakfast.
After the events of the previous night, Tang Tiantian’s fondness for Li Xiaoyao had grown further, finding this man to be especially dependable. During breakfast, she couldn’t help but steal additional glances at him.
Li Xiaoyao had long noticed her looking at him, but he didn’t ask. It was better not to embarrass the girl with a bashful disposition.
After breakfast, the two left to hail a taxi. As they neared Tang Tiantian’s workplace, she suddenly asked, "What would you like for dinner tonight? I’ll cook."
Li Xiaoyao paused for a mont, then replied with a smile, "Whatever is fine, I’m not picky about food."
Tang Tiantian smiled sweetly, "You said it, you’re not allowed to complain about my cooking being bad."
"I won’t, I won’t. Even if it’s bad, I’ll eat it," Li Xiaoyao sensed that her affection for him seed to have deepened.
Tang Tiantian got out of the car, and Li Xiaoyao arrived at his company.
He had barely stepped into the office and ward his seat when Zhang ng rushed in through the door in a flurry.
"Big brother Xiaoyao, sothing’s happened," said Zhang ng, her phone in hand and panic written across her face.
Seeing her frantic state, Li Xiaoyao quickly asked, "What happened?"
Zhang ng’s eyes were wild with confusion and distress, "It’s Sister Zhuo, she’s in trouble."
"Zhuo Yi?"
Zhang ng nodded repeatedly, "Mhm, it’s Sister Zhuo."
Li Xiaoyao ca out from behind the desk and seated her on a chair, "Don’t panic, tell slowly, what’s happened to Zhuo Yi?"
Zhang ng took a while to compose herself before she finally cald down.
She took out her phone and said, "Right when I got to the company, I received a text ssage from Sister Zhuo."
Li Xiaoyao took the phone and saw the ssage Zhuo Yi had sent: only two words, "Save !"
Li Xiaoyao and Zhuo Yi weren’t particularly close, but after pretending to be her boyfriend the day before, they had beco much more familiar with each other. Zhuo Yi would never joke about such a matter; she must have been in extre danger to have found the chance to send that ssage.
Li Xiaoyao looked at the ti the ssage was sent; it was ten minutes ago.
The discovery was very tily. Li Xiaoyao looked at Zhang ng and said, "ng ng, go to work, leave this matter to . I’ll definitely find Zhuo Yi."
Although Zhang ng was worried, she nodded and said, "Big brother Xiaoyao, I believe in you."
After Zhang ng left, Li Xiaoyao closed the door to his office, shut his eyes, and released his thoughts from his mind, instantly covering a radius of ten miles.
Li Xiaoyao searched the nearby area, but he couldn’t find Zhuo Yi anywhere. This ant that she was not within this range.
Li Xiaoyao opened his eyes, his brow furrowed.
He didn’t know what exactly had happened to Zhuo Yi, whether she had been kidnapped or had encountered so other danger.
Li Xiaoyao dialed the security departnt’s number and said once the call connected, "Ask Xiao Quan to co to my office."
Xiao Quan had been a scout, and when it ca to tracking, he was definitely more professional than the others.
Soon enough, Xiao Quan knocked and entered, appearing sowhat reserved as he faced Li Xiaoyao, "Director Li, you were looking for ?"
With ti of the essence, Li Xiaoyao skipped the pleasantries and got straight to the point, "Xiao Quan, I need your help with sothing."
Xiao Quan imdiately stood at attention, "Director Li, just say the word!"
Li Xiaoyao said, "Xiao Quan, please investigate soone for , a man nad Liu Ming."
```
Xiao Quan asked, "Minister Li, do you have a photo?"
Li Xiaoyao thought for a mont and said, "Follow ."
Ti waits for no one, and Li Xiaoyao had to find Zhuo Yi in the shortest ti possible.
Zhuo Yi’s life was very regular, with few friends and even fewer enemies, yet now, she was in trouble.
Li Xiaoyao’s first instinct was that this was the doing of Zhuo Yi’s ex-boyfriend, Liu Ming!
Li Xiaoyao asked Xiao Quan to go back and change into his clothes, then they took a taxi to an underground black market together.
The so-called underground black market was a place where anything could be sold, many of which were illicit goods.
Li Xiaoyao was here to buy two fake IDs.
After leaving the underground black market, the two continued non-stop to the Western restaurant where Zhuo Yi had taken Li Xiaoyao to et Liu Ming the day before.
Before entering the restaurant, Li Xiaoyao whispered a reminder, "Don’t talk later, just stand by my side and look serious."
Xiao Quan’s heartbeat sped up. Since leaving the company, Li Xiaoyao had taken him to buy two fake police badges, and now they were at this restaurant. Xiao Quan, being a forr scout, put these details together and suddenly guessed what Li Xiaoyao planned to do.
The two entered the restaurant, and Li Xiaoyao swaggered directly to the cashier’s counter.
The waiter smiled and asked, "What can I do for you, sir?"
Li Xiaoyao took out a police badge from his pocket and flashed it, "Police investigation, we need your cooperation."
The waiter imdiately beca nervous and nodded repeatedly, "Officer, what do you need us to do?"
Li Xiaoyao said, "The surveillance footage from the second floor from 11:30 to 12:30 yesterday, bring it to ."
Without delay, the waiter brought up the surveillance footage, and Li Xiaoyao gave Xiao Quan a look, "Watch carefully."
Li Xiaoyao adjusted the angle of the surveillance footage and finally pointed at Liu Ming on the screen, saying, "Rember this man, it’s him."
Li Xiaoyao took a photo of Liu Ming with his phone, then he and Xiao Quan turned and left the restaurant.
Li Xiaoyao took Xiao Quan back to the underground black market, and Xiao Quan curiously asked, "Minister Li, why do we keep coming here?"
"You can buy anything in this place." Li Xiaoyao shook his phone and said, "I need to look up Liu Ming’s detailed information."
Li Xiaoyao led Xiao Quan into a small shop, and five minutes later, they ca out.
Li Xiaoyao held a stack of papers in his hand, all of which contained information about Liu Ming.
Walking next to Li Xiaoyao, Xiao Quan asked, "Minister Li, where are we going now?"
"Stop calling minister, it sounds awkward, just call Brother Li." Li Xiaoyao hailed a taxi, "We’re going to find Liu Ming."
Xiao Quan still hadn’t figured out why Li Xiaoyao was looking for Liu Ming, but seeing him both buying fake IDs and adjusting surveillance footage, Xiao Quan guessed that Liu Ming must have offended Li Xiaoyao in so way.
The information Li Xiaoyao bought showed that Liu Ming’s ho was in a civilian house in the suburbs of Ling City.
After getting out of the car, Xiao Quan looked around at the shabby surroundings and smacked his lips, "This place is pretty run-down."
Li Xiaoyao was also surprised. When he talked to Zhuo Yi about her ex-boyfriend the previous day, he had heard from Zhuo Yi that her ex-boyfriend ca from a wealthy family and had both a house and a car.
But now, it seed that wasn’t quite the case.
Li Xiaoyao and Xiao Quan searched for the house where Liu Ming lived, and while they were looking for Liu Ming, not far from them, a policewoman in uniform was also searching for Liu Ming.
If Li Xiaoyao saw this policewoman, he would be able to recognize her at a glance; she was Zhu Xiaoyue, the officer who had brought him back to the station for assistance with the investigation that evening.
