"I'm here, why are you crying?"

A familiar voice came from behind, and Gan Tang's tears fell in a steady stream. She covered her mouth, trying to keep her voice from crying, "I'm not crying, what's wrong? Are you hurt?"

Gan Tang's phone screen was broken, completely black. She couldn't see Mo Huaixing, but Mo Huaixing could still see her; he could clearly see all the worry, panic, and concern in her eyes.

"I'm fine, it seems like the warehouse was robbed. I have to go check it out. You go back quickly and whatever you do, don't come out."

"Be careful..."

Before Gan Tang could finish speaking, the black screen went completely silent. She frantically fiddled with the black screen of her phone, but could no longer find a way to speak to him.

A streak of red light flashed across the dark night.

In Qinglong Garden, Gan Tang rushed into Lu Zhengqian's villa.

"Daddy, Daddy..."

In the empty villa, there was not a trace of Lu Zhengqian. Gan Tang changed her phone and called him.

"Dad, something happened to Mo Huaixing." She couldn't tell him what Lin Shuang had said, but instead told him in a panicked tone, "When I was on the phone with him, I heard an explosion, and it sounded like gunshots too. Is someone trying to kill him?"

“We’re all in this together, everyone gets stabbed in the back sometimes, it’s not a big deal.” The voice on the phone was calm, as if he already knew about it, but hearing his daughter’s sobbing, Lu Zhengqian still comforted her, “Don’t worry, I’ve already arranged for someone to send him some weapons. As for you, stay in Qinglong Garden these few days and don’t wander off.”

Are you just sending guns?

Gan Tang returned to her room with her phone in her hand, calling Mo Huaixing every now and then, but she could no longer get through.

The sky was overcast, and not a single star could be seen. A deafening clap of thunder followed, and a torrential downpour began. Gan Tang's gaze wandered aimlessly, then suddenly settled on the drawer of her desk.

As if remembering something, she hurriedly got out of bed and returned to Yuanhuai Villa in the rain. In the room, Gantang took out a bank card and a red ring box from the desk drawer.

Those were the bank card Chu Jiahe had given her, along with their wedding ring. Even after all this time, the ring in the box still shone brightly, almost blindingly so.

Jiahe, will you come to save me?

Gan Tang touched her heart until she could no longer feel it beating.

Let's take a gamble!

She took the bank card and wrote ambiguous words in the signature column on the back: After all, longing is not as good as meeting.

That night, the woman, curled up in bed, listened to the mournful sound of the rain and had a very uneasy dream. In the dream, there were many people, but she herself was not among them.

The next day, Gan Tang put the bank card into her shoulder bag, threaded the diamond ring onto her platinum necklace, and drove her most flamboyant red sports car to the Zhu Zi Man Cheng Club.

The club was busy until three or four in the morning, and half of the staff had been called away by Mo Huaixing. When Gan Tang arrived at around ten in the morning, it was deserted and everyone was asleep.

Zhang Po, dressed, hurriedly rushed to Mo Huaixing's office.

"Young Miss, what brings you here at this hour?"

Gan Tang put down the amulet, closed the drawer, and lazily stretched. "I'm giving you all a day off today. I'll take you out to play, how about it?"

"Huh?" Zhang Po's eyes widened in shock.

"What 'ah'? Hurry up and call someone over." Gan Tang urged, "Be quick, so we can make it in time for lunch."

Half an hour later, the four cars set off in a grand procession.

Zhang Po, driving the young lady's red sports car, asked the person sitting in the back, "Young lady, where shall we go for fun?"

In the passenger seat sat the young man who had complained last time that she only took Yuan Biao and his group out. Gan Tang looked at him and asked with a smile, "Little brother who's blaming me for being biased, where do you want to go?"

The young man hurriedly admitted his mistake, but couldn't name a single place for a long time.

Gan Tang didn't press him further, and after thinking for a moment, said, "How about going to the island in the middle of the lake?"

Zhang Po hurriedly declined, saying, "Miss, that's too expensive. How about we do what Yuan Biao and the others did last time and find a karaoke bar so we can all sing and have some fun?"

"That won't do. How can Yuan Biao and the others compare to you? When I take you out, we'll definitely eat the best and have the best fun. Let's go to the island in the middle of the lake!"

These words delighted them. However, Gan Tang had other plans. The island in the middle of the lake had the most beautiful coastline in Jin Hai, but it was also the easiest place for news to leak out.

More importantly, Pang Lou had been here before, so there might be his informants here.

The island in the middle of the lake had everything for eating, drinking, and having fun. Gantang played with them until four or five in the afternoon, then left under the pretext of having something to do.

Zhang Po hurriedly followed her out, "Miss, let me take you home!"

"No need, you play with them. Close the shop tonight and let everyone get a good rest," Gan Tang instructed, then went to the cashier to pay.

The bill was nearly 200,000 yuan. Although it wasn't her own money, she still felt a pang of heartache as she watched the numbers dwindle on her phone.

After leaving the island in the middle of the lake, Gan Tang drove to SKP shopping mall. She shopped for about an hour and a half. Looking at the darkening sky outside, she touched the diamond ring on her neck and walked towards the parking lot.

There were surveillance cameras all along the way, so Gan Tang walked very carefully. Suddenly, she saw a dark shadow flash by, and then her mouth was covered.

It's a sleeping potion!

With her last bit of strength, Gan Tang lifted her shoulder bag and threw it at the person behind her. The bag was easily snatched away, but the messy pieces inside were scattered all over the ground. Hidden underneath was a black bank card.

She guessed right, but it's uncertain whether she'll win the bet.

...

A group of people were gathered in the security room of SKP shopping mall. Chu Jiahe clutched a bank card tightly in her hand, her eyes fixed on the surveillance screen, searching for every frame featuring her.

In this shopping mall, they had shopped together, eaten together, and even tried on wedding dresses. But now, he can only search for traces of her in cold, black-and-white images.

"Found it!" the guard exclaimed, and immediately stopped.

The shopping mall's CEO hurriedly stepped forward, turned the screen around, pointed at the man wearing a mask and a black trench coat, and looked at Chu Jiahe.

The screen showed not only the kidnappers, but also her. She wore a sparkling diamond ring. He recognized it; it was their wedding ring.

Chu Jiahe shifted his gaze to the captain in police uniform beside him.

The man's image appeared on more than a dozen surveillance screens, but this was the only one that captured his face clearly. The captain compared the image to the back of a man dragging the young lady of the Lu Group on another screen, and looked troubled: "Judging from the figure, it looks like a person. But based on this single image, we can't analyze a facial profile."

"Where's the license plate? Can you see it?" Chu Jiahe asked.

The team leader shook his head, looking troubled: "Right now, we can only check each vehicle that left the mall one by one based on the time period when Miss Lu went missing. The workload is too great, and we can't rule out the possibility of fake license plates."
