In a room that was so dark that one almost lost consciousness, the passage of time became blurred, making it difficult for people to tell how long they had been at this moment.

Murong Qiao could only feel the faint sound of waves coming from outside, and a slight shaking feeling.

The extremely poor environment caused her to suffer from seasickness. She could have retched a few times, but she didn't know how long it had been until she had lost all the strength to retching, so she could only lean on it with her eyes closed as much as possible. In the chair, let yourself conserve your little energy.

Although his captor has not shown up yet, Murong Qiao has already guessed the person in his mind. He is just wondering how the person can hold back so well this time and has not appeared until now.

As time passed, hunger came again and again, tormenting Murong Qiao.

I don’t know how long I have been missing now.

Murong Qiao thought drowsily, forcing himself to sleep again, so that he could ignore the reaction of hunger and even some cramping in his stomach.

The outside world has passed at this moment, eight hours from dawn to dusk.

After Murong Qiao went out and there was no news for more than four hours, Jiang Chi felt that something was not right, so he called Huo Yichen to explain the situation.

When Huo Yichen heard that Murong Qiao was missing, he immediately put down everything he was doing. He didn't care that he was still talking about the project. He got up and drove to meet Jiang Chi.

"It was Hoya who gave the lady a letter and asked him to meet her."

Jiang Chi showed Huo Yichen the surveillance video copied from the company. At the same time, the envelope was opened and placed on the table.

In view of the seriousness of the situation, Jiang Chi spoke quickly and explained the whole incident clearly.

Huo Yichen looked at the video with a sullen expression. He immediately changed the speed to double. After watching it once, he watched it again carefully, fearing that he had missed any detail. On the other side, his mobile phone was also playing Murong Xiao's call, but But still couldn't get through.

Jiang Chi was also frowning and worried. At the same time, seeing that the time was approaching seven hours, he felt something bad in his heart.

"Have you not received any news since you left?" Huo Yichen asked.

He turned around and picked up the envelope again and glanced at the address on it. He frowned and obviously realized that something was wrong.

Jiang Chi shook his head and said nothing.

"I've asked someone to check the surveillance over there, and the news should be sent out soon." Jiang Chi said.

Huo Yichen immediately stood up, picked up his phone and started walking outside, not forgetting to explain as he walked.

"It's too late. I'll go to that store first to see what findings and results you have. Send them to me as soon as possible."

People have disappeared now. I don’t know what happened. They can’t just sit here and wait indifferently.

After seeing another call, the call showed that it could not be connected, indicating that the other party had turned off the phone or simply put it down. He just went to his car, stepped on the accelerator, and drove out at a fast speed.

But the address on the envelope was still 20 minutes away from where he was at this moment. Huo Yuchen was so anxious that he took the nearest road, ignoring the protests from the red lights and horns on the road, and soared with a cold face, speeding according to the position given by the navigation system. It took 10 minutes to reach the destination.

He came to the store that Murong Qiao had just visited not long ago, but the police officer at the store had already put up a closed sign.

Huo Yichen looked at the tightly closed rolling shutter door, took a closer look at the surrounding details, and found that he could not break it open with brute force. After that, he had to temporarily suppress the irritability and anxiety in his heart, and turned to ask other people who were still nearby.

"Tell me about that store. They open and close with no pattern."

"It was open today, but we just received a guest, and then it seemed like something happened and we closed the door in a hurry."

When he heard the other party said that a guest had come in, Huo Yichen immediately cheered up and asked questions quickly.

"Is she a very beautiful girl?"

They were all shop owners, so I just took a casual look at them. The man shook his head honestly. "How could I know so much? After all, you are not my guest."

It's already pretty good if you can remember some information.

Seeing the other party's answer, Huo Yichen knew that he was too anxious, so he calmed down a little and looked around again.

The address given by Huo Ya is very remote. Most of the small shops here are scattered and orderly, crowded together in twos and threes, and they look a bit different in size.

He glanced around twice, and finally went around from the back. He found that the closed store had two windows on the side, and then he took a stone from the roadside and smashed it down.

The glass shattered with the sound, turning into countless fragments and falling to the ground, giving Huo Yichen a feasible but somewhat small space.

In fact, it is not a good idea to break into a private house, but now that a person has been missing for less than 24 hours, even if you call the police, they will say that the other party has not met the conditions for filing a case, so they will not take it too seriously.

However, if Murong Qiao disappeared for an hour, a minute or even a few seconds, it would increase the risk. Huo Yichen couldn't wait that long.

No wonder Huo Yichen reached out and unlocked the window lock at the risk of being scratched and discovered, and then jumped in.

The store was dark and quiet, which was incompatible with the bustling city outside. Huo Yichen entered through the door of one of the private rooms. There was nothing in the private room except tables and chairs for entertaining guests. He walked to the door and opened it with his hands. He pulled it, only to find that the door to the private room was locked.

Fortunately, he was in the room, so he could manually open it to obtain the carbon. He went up to the corridor outside and looked around. Then he walked lightly to the front desk for a thorough inspection and found that no one was in the entire store.

Seeing this, Hui Yuchen lowered his guard a little and began to search for clues related to Murong Qiao in the store.

The first thing he saw was a computer at the front desk. He noticed that there were surveillance cameras and notebooks for taking notes.

But after the computer turned on, the screen flashed and then shut down. Obviously, it was not very cooperative. The notebook Huo Yuchen put aside looked like he had written something in a fake way, but there were signs of being torn on it or something Yuchen had turned over. After reading several pages, I couldn't find Murong Qiao's name.

The other party was obviously well prepared and didn't leave any clues for him to pursue him.

Hui Yuchen was not discouraged, but looked around again, and finally found a few inconspicuous long hair hanging on the door frame of the last private room.

With the jet black color and the very familiar length, Hui Yuchen could find out that this was Murong Qiao's hair almost without any testing procedures.

It means he has found the right place.

Huo Yichen was investigating on one side, and on the other side, the cruise ship driven by Jiang Weiyang was now on the sea some distance away from the land.

The huge cruise ship's target was so obvious at sea that Huo Xiuyuan, who was driving a speedboat, found the target he was going to with little effort.

And it was after he received Jiang Weiyang's call that he rushed to this place today.

The approach of the speedboat attracted the attention of the cruise ship and Jiang Weiyang. He was leaning on the railing waiting for Huo Xiuyuan. He was even in a good mood when he saw the other party approaching, and raised his hand to wave in welcome.
