Butler Zhong nodded, looking at An Yiqing with admiration in his eyes.
"I naturally trust leaving it to Miss An. You are the future matriarch of the Gu Family and Tingting’s best friend, so I naturally believe in you. Everything will be done according to Miss An’s instructions. Thank you for the trouble."
"What are you saying, Butler Zhong? We’re all family, no trouble at all. Ah Feng, please escort Butler Zhong back, and be careful on the way."
After seeing off Butler Zhong, An Yiqing led An Zhiyu and the others into the underground basent of the Thirteen Blood Generals Mansion.
Looking at the intricate traffic routes on the computer screen in front of her, An Yiqing’s expression was as dark as water.
"Investigate! Thoroughly examine the surveillance footage from after the day they left. Make sure you track their whereabouts!"
She couldn’t believe that soone could abduct people right under her nose without a trace!
Half an hour later, Gu Yelin rushed in, and more than ten minutes after that, Ruan Hao and Duan Tang appeared at the Thirteen Blood Generals Mansion with grim faces.
About five or six minutes after that, Xia Hao arrived in a hurry with Bali and Eddie, also bringing an unexpected person.
"Why are you with Haozi?" An Yiqing was a bit surprised to see Tang Lin suddenly appear.
"When Butler Zhong called last night to ask about Gu Tingting’s whereabouts, I sensed sothing was off. Later, I called Haozi and learned that sothing had happened to them." Tang Lin walked straight to the computer screen, the images making him a bit dizzy, and he frowned slightly. "There’s sothing I don’t know if I should tell you."
"Just say it. When did you beco so hesitant?" An Yiqing raised her eyebrows, "What is it, exactly?"
Tang Lin’s gaze fell on the first computer screen, where Ruan Xue, Gu Tingting, and Zhou Xiaoyu were holding hands as they left the dormitory.
"Have you considered that this incident might have sothing to do with Zhou Xiaoyu?"
An Yiqing’s eyelid twitched, suddenly recalling what Zhang Yufeng had said to her during the days at the ski resort.
"Have you discovered sothing?" Instead of answering yes or no, she asked Tang Lin in return.
"Just a gut feeling, Xiao Qing, Zhou Xiaoyu is very unusual. The way she looks at you, and at Tingting and Xiao Xue, is not normal." Tang Lin pondered for a mont, thoughtfully describing, "Her gaze is too gloomy. In those days outside, she often looked at everyone with a sullen expression but was particularly excited when looking at you. Xiao Qing, although Tingting and Xiao Xue are not very strong, ordinary people wouldn’t be able to harm them. Think about it, if soone skilled had kidnapped them, they would have a motive related to the Gu Family or the Muyun Society. But it’s been three days, and there’s been no news. This suggests that it has nothing to do with your Ancient Martial World. If it’s not a skilled person, then who else but Zhou Xiaoyu from the sa dorm could silently deal with the two of them? I can’t think of anyone else."
The room was deathly silent, everyone imrsed in Tang Lin’s speculations. An Yiqing’s brow was tightly furrowed; she desperately didn’t want to believe that the shy and timid girl could do such a thing, but she had no way to refute Tang Lin’s reasoning.
Looking up at Gu Yelin, An Yiqing saw in his eyes a confirmation of Tang Lin’s suspicions.
A weight settled in her heart; sotis outsiders see things more clearly, perhaps she really had misjudged soone.
Just then, An Zhiyu, who had been responsible for checking the surveillance footage, suddenly called out.
"Miss An, there’s a situation!"
An Yiqing quickly approached and looked in the direction indicated by An Zhiyu’s finger. The surveillance footage showed Gu Tingting and the other two walking out of the school gate hand in hand, heading to a small restaurant next to the school and then entering.
In the next five hours, the restaurant’s entrance had people coming and going, but until closing ti, there was no sign of Gu Tingting and her two companions coming out.
"How could three people just mysteriously disappear? Could there be a tunnel in that restaurant?" An Zhiyu was sowhat puzzled; the restaurant was just run by ordinary folks, and he had investigated it thoroughly.
An Yiqing didn’t speak, watching the video of Gu Tingting and the others entering repeatedly for the last two hours, finally stopping the footage on a van that had driven up from behind the restaurant.
"Zoom in; I want to see who the driver is clearly."
An Zhiyu imdiately tapped a few keys on the keyboard, and the image of the van driver beca clear.
"Miss An, the driver is wearing a hat and is too wrapped up to tell who it is. This is clearly preditated."
An Yiqing stared intently at the person driving on the screen for a long ti.
"The driver is Zhou Xiaoyu."
"Are you certain?" Tang Lin hurriedly asked.
"As a doctor, no one understands the structure and proportion of the human body better than I do. Judging from the car seat distance and the height of the driver’s seat, the driver is definitely a woman. I am very familiar with Zhou Xiaoyu’s body proportions; that woman is absolutely her!" An Yiqing emphatically tapped the table with her fingers, "Xiao Yu, track down the last known location of this van, quickly!"
