After making up her mind, Sun Xiaong didn’t hesitate any longer.
Seizing the mont while Yang Shan had gone to the restroom and hadn’t returned, she imdiately put away her phone, slung her bag over her shoulder, and slipped out of the room.
Once outside the room, she glanced back and forth in the corridor, then quickly darted towards the stairwell and ran downstairs, successfully exiting the hotel.
"Ha ha ha, the adventurous beauty reporter Sun Xiaong isn’t so easily stopped!"
Sun Xiaong giggled, making a ’V’ sign with her fingers, her face full of self-satisfaction.
She didn’t stop there, knowing that if Yang Shan found her, she wouldn’t be able to leave.
Quickly dashing into a nearby alleyway, she ran towards the street across from her!
Whoosh!
But she had just entered the alley and hadn’t reached the street when a dark figure suddenly sprang out from the shadows.
Approaching Sun Xiaong from behind, a hand chopped down on her neck.
"Ah..."
Sun Xiaong scread in surprise, and before she could react, darkness invaded her vision, and her body went limp, collapsing to the ground.
anwhile,
Not long after Sun Xiaong had left the hotel room, Yang Shan also returned to the room!
Upon her return and finding the door wide open and the room empty, her expression drastically changed.
"Not good!"
...
Elsewhere.
Wei Xiaosu walked slowly along the deserted street by herself, waiting for the murderer to be lured out.
Although she didn’t know if the murderer would show up, she had to continue walking, hoping to complete her task as long as there was even a slight possibility.
At that mont, a few hundred ters behind Wei Xiaosu, a black Humr H3 was following quietly.
The Humr, with all its lights off, blended into the darkness, moving slowly in the dimly lit conditions, making it hard to notice.
Ye Xuan and Bai Wenrou were sitting inside the Humr, and to avoid any awkwardness, they occasionally chatted while keeping an eye on the surroundings.
Buzz Buzz!
In the silent atmosphere, suddenly the vibration of a phone broke the quiet inside the vehicle.
The sound ca from the pocket of Bai Wenrou’s jeans. Frowning, she took out her phone and saw that it was a call from Yang Shan.
"Hello? Yang Shan, what’s up?"
Under other circumstances, Bai Wenrou would not have answered!
But she knew if Yang Shan, aware that she was out on an operation, still called her, it must be sothing urgent.
"Team Leader Bai, it’s bad, Xiaong is missing!"
Sure enough, as soon as she spoke, Yang Shan’s urgent voice ca from the phone.
"What?"
Bai Wenrou’s expression changed, and she imdiately asked, "Where did she go? How can she be missing! Didn’t I ask you to keep an eye on her?"
"I don’t know, I had a stomachache and went to the restroom! When I left, she was still in the room, but she was gone when I returned, and she’s not answering her phone! Team Leader, I’m sorry, I didn’t keep a good eye on Xiaong, it’s my fault."
Yang Shan said apologetically.
After understanding the cause of the incident, Bai Wenrou knew it was not the other’s fault.
After a mont of thought, she said, "Enough! Now is not the ti to talk about this. Can you reach her phone?"
Yang Shan replied, "It connects, but no one answers. I’ve called several tis."
"Okay, her phone has a GPS. Lock her location imdiately and see where she is!" Bai Wenrou instructed at once.
"Understood, team leader. I will check her location right away."
Yang Shan quickly said and then hung up the phone.
"This darn girl, always causing worry. I knew I shouldn’t have brought her here!"
Bai Wenrou was extrely annoyed, but now was not the ti to be angry. The urgent priority was to find Sun Xiaong as soon as possible. Otherwise, if sothing happened to her, Bai wouldn’t be able to explain herself.
She quickly flipped through her contacts and found Sun Xiaong’s number. She dialed it imdiately.
However, the phone connected, but no one answered, which intensified the foreboding feeling in Bai Wenrou’s heart!
anwhile!
On a highway moving in the opposite direction from Ye Xuan and the others, a silver-gray van sped along. Inside, Sun Xiaong lay unconscious in the back seat while her phone continuously rang in her pocket.
Up front, a skinny man with a hooked nose glanced at the rearview mirror, a slight sinister curve forming at the corners of his mouth.
On the other side, after calling Sun Xiaong’s phone twice more with no response, Bai Wenrou’s expression grew even darker.
She dialed again and called Yang Shan, asking, "Yang Shan, have you located Xiaong?"
"Team leader, I’ve found her location. She is heading towards Zhenan Mountain at a speed of seventy kiloters per hour!" Yang Shan imdiately replied.
What?
Hearing this, Bai Wenrou’s heart skipped a beat, and her expression grew even grimr—this indicated that Sun Xiaong was in trouble!
The speed of seventy kiloters per hour clearly indicated it was a vehicle’s speed. Earlier, Sun Xiaong’s car had been allocated to another group for investigation in Shuangxi Town.
Now, with the only car they had being driven out, it ant Sun Xiaong was without a car. This only proved that she was currently in soone else’s vehicle! Furthermore, there were no taxis around Zhu Bei Town at night, so it couldn’t be a taxi.
Since they couldn’t get through to her phone either, it wasn’t hard to deduce that Sun Xiaong had encountered an ergency!
She had likely been kidnapped by the culprit!
"Yang Shan, grab your laptop and wait for us at the hotel entrance, and rember to stay safe," Bai Wenrou imdiately instructed over the phone.
At that mont, she had completely cald down. It was now an established fact that Sun Xiaong was in trouble.
The imdiate priority was to rescue her. At the sa ti, ensuring Yang Shan’s safety was crucial to avoid any more incidents!
After issuing the order, she hung up the phone, started the car, and the Humr roared like a rocket shooting off.
Screech!
In the blink of an eye, the car stopped in front of Wei Xiaosu.
Bai Wenrou stuck her head out the window and shouted urgently, "Susu, Xiaong has been kidnapped, and the kidnapper could very well be the culprit. We have to hurry and save her."
"What? Kidnapped?"
Wei Xiaosu was stunned for a mont, then quickly recovered, didn’t say much, and imdiately got into the car.
Vroom!
After turning the car around, Bai Wenrou slamd down the accelerator. The Humr roared and shot off like an arrow released from its bow, disappearing into the night.
In less than five minutes, the Humr was back at the hotel entrance. There, Yang Shan imdiately got into the car and opened her laptop to track the location.
Following the route Yang Shan directed, Bai Wenrou drove the car at high speed towards Zhenan Mountain!
Zhenan Mountain, under the jurisdiction of Zhu Bei Town, is located to the southwest of the town, surrounded by mountains, and geographically secluded.
At this mont, at the foot of Zhenan Mountain, lies a field of corn interspersed with so old factory buildings.
It’s said that it used to be a cotton processing plant, which closed down due to the owner defaulting on salaries. Now, it was rented out cheaply and had started up again, but it had been converted into a chicken farm.
