Yu Minglang tead up with Zheng Xu, both deeply concerned about Qian’s whereabouts. It was the first ti these two adversaries joined forces.
Yu Minglang used all his connections on the right side of the law to find Qian, while Zheng Xu utilized his special channels.
Fortunately, before entering the karaoke hall, Qian had asked Xiaoyu in front of Zheng Xu which room she was in.
This information didn’t exist in the previous life.
In the past life, Shi Touyu had left ho to co here, but no one knew where she had gone or who she was with.
Zheng Xu quickly found the karaoke hall owner and demanded to see the surveillance footage. Thankfully, this hall happened to have surveillance.
During this era, there were not many places with surveillance. High-profile venues like karaoke halls usually avoided having it. However, the owner of this hall had a cunning idea and installed caras discreetly in the rooms, hoping to capture incriminating footage of dignitaries with escorts for potential use.
This secret should never be revealed, but Zheng Xu was no ordinary person; his influence was intimidating, controlling nearly half of Q City’s underground. The owner obediently complied.
Through this surveillance, Yu Minglang found Xuan. She stubbornly refused to say anything, claiming they parted ways once they got in the car.
Pressing her for the car’s license plate and the driver’s physical features, she hesitated and avoided eye contact.
Yu Minglang, an experienced special operations officer, instantly realized this girl was definitely not simple.
He imdiately detained her for overnight interrogation.
At first, Xuan absolutely refused to talk, even shouting that Yu Minglang had no right to interrogate her and that he was breaking the law.
Yu Minglang smashed a chair in front of her.
"I’m not questioning you in any official capacity. I’m just a family mber. If you talk, I’ll make your ti inside easier. If you don’t, I’ll kill you. Try if you don’t believe."
Though Xuan remained silent, her heart was filled with fear by Yu Minglang.
Seeing this, Yu Minglang dismissed all the officers and suddenly grabbed Xuan’s collar, dragging her to the window.
This was the fourth floor.
"Not talking? I’ll send you on your way now! If my girlfriend loses even a hair, I’ll kill your whole family." He tightly pulled Xuan’s hair. Initially, she thought he was joking, but his crazed eyes made her realize this man could indeed kill her.
"Fine, stubborn, it doesn’t matter if you don’t talk. I’ll kill you now!" Yu Minglang pretended to let go, and Xuan felt her body plunging downward, prompting her to scream.
"I’ll talk!"
Yu Minglang grabbed her leg and pulled her up with slight force.
Xuan was so scared she knelt on the ground, coughing continuously.
She had just brushed by death.
"Speak quickly! If you dare lie, you’re dead!" Yu Minglang had transford into a devil now.
i’s safety made him disregard all boundaries.
"Is it really okay to be so aggressive in here?"
Outside the interrogation room, soone questioned the captain.
The captain was aware of Yu Minglang’s background.
"What did you see? Did anyone complain to you?"
"Uh, no." Understood.
Yu Minglang erged with a dark expression.
"Did she spill?"
"Yes, investigate this plate. It’s likely fake. The man driving is nicknad Lao Wu, his wife is called Da i. She couldn’t say what they do. I’ll use my network to find him. We can officially file a case; it’s a highly malicious cross-province human trafficking incident, involving an entire family."
Yu Minglang’s hand was still bandaged, but this didn’t matter to him. He only wanted to rescue his i as quickly as possible.
Just as Yu Minglang prepared to launch a pursuit across miles, his ergency contact phone rang.
"General manager, there’s a situation with the previous project. Your brother told to inform you—" The voice of his company’s departnt manager ca through the receiver, sowhat anxious.
Yu Minglang didn’t hesitate, "I don’t want to hear it."
Damn the business, damn the money, he only wants to save his woman.
Yu Minglang couldn’t care about anything else; he had only one thought.
To bring his i back.
"General manager, you—"
Yu Minglang directly turned off the phone.
The people with him stared at each other.
"One, should you—"
"Stop dawdling, get in the car!"
Yu Minglang was out for blood now; if he couldn’t bring i back, he wouldn’t live either. He had saved so many, yet his own girlfriend was abducted—this was disgraceful.
The captain’s personal communication device rang.
"I’m—"
"Get that brat to answer the phone! Tell him if he doesn’t, don’t bla for not letting him co along!" Mr. Yu’s angry voice ca through the receiver.
Yu Minglang grabbed the phone.
"I just want to save my girlfriend, handle it however you want!"
"Who’s stopping you! You plan to take their car there? Our family’s off-road vehicle can’t beat their cars? Can you have so patience to hear out?" His brother was about to explode.
"Big brother, you an—?"
"I had soone call you just to tell you I’ll take care of your company’s side, if there’s an issue with the project, I’ll handle it. I’m ordering you as elder brother to ensure you bring our sister-in-law ho, ensuring her safety. You can command whatever you need here; whether you lack money or people, we have them." His brother spoke forcefully.
"Big brother..." Yu Minglang hadn’t expected his brother ant this.
"We’re brothers; if I don’t help you, who will? Rember, you must bring our sister-in-law back!"
"Understood!"
He was fighting for his woman; he would definitely find i and bring her back safely!
i, wait for !
anwhile, Qian arrived at her destination after an uncertainly long journey on winding mountain roads.
A remote village nestled in a mountain valley.
Ti seed frozen here.
It resembled the 60s and 70s, with slogans like "Boys and Girls are the Sa" painted on the village’s crumbling mud walls, now faded with age, the word "girl" even splashed with paint, showing a clear bias favoring boys.
As Qian ascended, she kept observing the terrain.
This place was terrifying.
The mountain roads were narrow, barely accommodating a single car.
If another ca, a collision was likely.
Novice drivers on such treacherous mountain paths risked flipping over.
The surroundings were desolate.
Extrely impoverished; upon arrival, these bad guys dragged Qian, Xiaoyu, and another girl off the vehicle.
Qian scanned the area; the poverty was evident in the grass-roofed houses, residents in ragged clothes, and dirty children running around, their toes exposed despite winter.
And the adults all looked filthy, craning their necks, with so sporting white hair.
They were the bachelors of this village.
