That afternoon, Su Chen was in the midst of cultivating when suddenly his phone rang. Seeing it was Ye i calling, he quickly answered.
"Su Chen, Yaning seems to be missing!"
As soon as the call connected, Ye i's sowhat panicked voice ca through!
"Ye i, take your ti and tell , what do you an by 'missing'?"
Su Chen imdiately narrowed his eyes and asked.
"Here's the thing, I ca ho first last night. Sotis Yaning works late, so I didn't really worry. She wasn't back by ten, and I just went to sleep."
Ye i said:
"But this morning when I got up, I didn't see her. I checked her room, and she wasn't there either."
"So I started calling her, I've called dozens of tis since morning but her phone's been off the whole ti! And I went to check, Yaning's car is still in the company's garage."
"Su Chen, do you think sothing happened to Yaning?"
Ye i asked worriedly over the phone:
"Should we call the police first?"
But Ye i was also worried that without 48 hours, the police wouldn't file a case.
"Not for now!"
Su Chen said:
"Wait for , I'm heading to your company right now, have the security departnt prepare all surveillance footage from last night!"
"Okay, okay, I'll arrange it right away!"
Ye i replied hurriedly.
After hanging up the phone, Su Chen rushed to the Rose Mansion. A drive that usually took half an hour, Su Chen covered in just ten minutes!
When Su Chen arrived, Ye i was already waiting anxiously at the entrance. As soon as she saw Su Chen get out of the car, she quickly approached!
"Don't worry, I've got it all under control!"
Su Chen patted Ye i's shoulder and smiled slightly.
"Mm!"
Since contacting Su Chen, Ye i felt a bit more reassured, but she was still extrely worried about Xiao Yaning.
"The surveillance footage is ready; let's go over."
Ye i said, and then led Su Chen to the security departnt, which, like in other companies, was located on the first floor of the Rose Group.
Su Chen followed Ye i over and entered a room filled with dozens of monitors.
"Miss Ye!"
Upon seeing Ye i enter, several people stood up and greeted her respectfully.
Ye i nodded and said:
"This is Mr. Su, listen to his instructions now!"
The group glanced at Su Chen, recognizing him: after all, Su Chen had visited the Rose Mansion once or twice, accompanied by both the CEO and the deputy CEO.
"Mr. Su!"
They greeted him collectively.
"Imdiately pull up all the CCTV footage of the parking lot from seven o'clock onward last night!"
Su Chen instructed solemnly.
"Mr. Su, why start with the parking lot?"
One person asked, puzzled.
"Stop asking questions, just do it!"
Su Chen snapped, an imposing aura emanating from him, startling them!
Su Chen knew Yaning's situation was abnormal; he didn't have ti to fuss about with them!
The group quickly and obediently pulled up five screens. The one who had asked spoke:
"Mr. Su, these are all the footage after eight o'clock last night!"
"Play it at five tis speed!"
Su Chen ordered.
"Mr. Su, isn't five tis too fast? We can't make out anything!"
That person spoke again, the head of the control room.
After all, even if pressed for ti, at most they used double speed; three tis was the limit!
"Stop babbling, just follow orders!"
Su Chen frowned slightly and said.
The head had no choice but to comply—after all, this man had an unusual relationship with both the CEO and deputy CEO.
Haven't you noticed Miss Ye hasn't said a word all this ti?
As the footage played at five tis speed, the screens flashed like slideshows!
Even those who watched the surveillance daily felt dizzy—it was too fast for their brains to keep up!
Su Chen was scrutinizing all five screens, his expression serious and focused!
The people in the control room thought, "How can you possibly see anything like that?"
Given that each of them was struggling with one screen at that speed, yet Mr. Su was reviewing five at once!
"Too slow, ten tis speed!"
Su Chen frowned and commanded again.
His words stunned everyone in the control room!
Is this guy crazy? How could anyone see clearly at ten tis speed?
But seeing Su Chen's stern expression, with Ye i also silent, the head again sped up the footage!
He wasn't really dissatisfied; he just thought the man was showing off!
Su Chen didn't care what they thought; he was completely absorbed, watching the screens intensely!
The images flashed by, dizzying and bewilderingly fast!
Ye i stood by, not daring to interrupt Su Chen!
"Stop!"
After a while, Su Chen suddenly shouted!
The group froze for a mont but instinctively hit the stop button, freezing the scene!
Su Chen imdiately moved to one of the screens. The person sitting there quickly vacated the spot.
Su Chen didn't sit down but began operating directly, rewinding the footage a bit, then setting it back to five tis speed before playing it again.
He then rewound a little more, reduced the speed to double, and finally, restored normal speed!
The staff in the control room watched his operations, feeling quite amazed.
Had he actually spotted sothing at such fast speeds on five screens?
So they looked at the screen, seeing Xiao Yaning appear, seemingly about to take out her car keys from her bag!
Just when Yaning pulled out the keys, a fleeting shadow seed to flash by, and it appeared as if Yaning was dragged away from the spot!
"What happened to Deputy Xiao?"
The head blurted out in surprise.
Until now, they still didn't understand what had happened.
The head only then realized why Ye wanted the surveillance checked; so Deputy Xiao had an accident!
But what was that fleeting shadow?
In just a blink, Deputy Xiao disappeared!
Wasn't this speed too fast?
If unnoticed, this could easily be missed!
Su Chen's eyes grew more solemn; these people might not know, but he clearly understood, these individuals were Martial Artists, and their cultivation had reached Late ridian Expansion Stage!
Their speed was indeed startling, especially with the dim garage lighting and them wearing black nightwalking clothes. It's no wonder they couldn't see clearly!
But how could Xiao Yaning attract the attention of Martial Artists with such significant cultivation?
