It was late at night when Tang Jingyuan returned to Ronghua Garden. Seeing that there was no light in the house, he thought Lu Anning was asleep. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the note she left at the most conspicuous entrance. His face changed suddenly. He turned around and walked out without thinking, while contacting Ye Haojie.

"An Ning has been asked out by your sister alone. I'll send you the address. We'll meet later."

No wonder they searched for him for a whole day but couldn't find him. It turned out he was hiding in a suburban bar.

When did Ye Lingfei start to like going to that kind of place?

Tang Jingyuan vaguely sensed something was wrong and didn't dare to waste any time, rushing all the way to the bar. Unfortunately, they were too late. By the time they found the private room, it was already empty, leaving only a half-finished bottle of red wine.

Tang Jingyuan called Lu Anning, but was told that the other party's phone was turned off, and Ye Lingfei could not be contacted.

Not one was found, and another was lost. Tang Jingyuan frowned and immediately went to find his boss to ask for the surveillance footage, at least to confirm that they had left here safely.

When he saw Tang Jingyuan, the boss hesitated for a long time before saying that the surveillance cameras in the store were just for decoration. He then quickly called everyone in the store over to ask, and finally learned the news about Lu Anning from a waiter.

"I'm sure! Because everyone who comes here is here to have fun. This lady has an outstanding temperament and is wearing a long Chinese dress, which makes her particularly eye-catching. She was drunk and left through the back door with her companions."

Ye Haojie heard this and asked, "Did they both leave through the back door together?"

The waiter corrected him: "There are four of them. One of them is a man with shifty eyes, like a gangster."

Tang Jingyuan thought of someone and immediately took out his mobile phone to find a photo to show the person to the waiter. The screen showed the photo of Li Shun making a scene and asking for money. The waiter recognized him at a glance, and Tang Jingyuan and Ye Haojie felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

Ye Haojie held up Ye Lingfei's photo and asked, "What about her? Was she sober or drunk at the time?"

"She was awake. She and another girl helped the girl out. They almost spilled my drink. I'm not mistaken."

Tang Jingyuan and Ye Haojie were both silent. Ye Lingfei had no friends in Jiangcheng, so why was she hanging out with Li Shun? And who was that other woman?

Ye Lingfei called Lu Anning here and got him drunk and took him away. What exactly did she want to do?

Ye Haojie comforted Tang Jingyuan: "Let's not overthink it. Maybe we just came out to talk. Maybe he has already returned home by now."

Tang Jingyuan glanced at her, and there was no emotion in his dark eyes.

"Do you believe this?"

After a while, Ye Haojie finally spoke: "Although Ling Fei is arrogant, she knows her limits when doing things. She knows what she can't do and won't do anything reckless."

Tang Jingyuan said nothing and walked towards the back door.

This place is remote and was originally opened here to provide convenience for guests who come to play. If they are found here, they can leave through the back door without being noticed. There are blind spots for surveillance all around and it is well connected. It is almost impossible to catch up.

Tang Jingyuan stood at the back door and looked at the dark suburbs in front of him, his heart in turmoil. For the first time, he realized that Jiangcheng could be so big.

The waiter said that the person was unconscious when he was taken away. Since Lu Anning knew where to leave him when she came out, she would remain vigilant even if she saw Ye Lingfei. With her alcohol tolerance, it is impossible for her to get drunk after drinking only half a bottle of red wine.

A very bad guess came to his mind. Rather than saying that she was drunk, he would rather believe that someone had tampered with it.

Li Shun is addicted to gambling. If Ye Lingfei goes after him, it won't be good. Where will they take her? And who is that other woman?

But in just a moment, Tang Jingyuan had made a decision.

Ye Haojie was just about to ask Tang Jingyuan to go back to Ronghua Garden to see if the person would come back. Although the hope was slim, he was unwilling to believe that his sister would do anything out of line.

"Why don't we go back first..."

"Call the police!" Tang Jingyuan was about to make a call, but Ye Haojie immediately stopped him.

"Jingyuan, figure it out first."

"Still unclear? That man is a gambler, addicted to gambling. Ye Lingfei took An Ning away with this kind of person, and she fainted. At this moment, An Ning didn't even have the ability to resist whatever they did to her. Ye Haojie, you'd better pray that An Ning returns safely. Otherwise..."

Tang Jingyuan shook off Ye Haojie and called the police without hesitation. He also ordered the boss to keep an eye on everything in the box and wait for the police to come and collect evidence.

Tang Jingyuan personally showed up, and soon several police cars arrived. Tang Jingyuan explained the situation, demanding evidence and a case, briefly explaining the cause and effect. He personally exerted pressure, and the police dared not refuse.

Even so, Tang Jingyuan still felt uneasy.

"Lin Tao, use all your connections to find him. Quickly!"

Lin Tao did not dare to be negligent. Seeing Tang Jingyuan's attitude, he seemed to be ready to turn Jiangcheng upside down.

After leaving the bar, Tang Jingyuan returned to Ronghua Garden. No one was there, and his heart sank. The night was long, and he couldn't sit still. He drove around the house all night, afraid to miss a single call.

It was not until dawn that news came from the police station confirming that Lu Anning's fingerprints and saliva were detected in one of the empty wine glasses, and there was also a small amount of drugs in it. The other empty wine glasses also contained drugs. The biological information on another wine glass belonged to Ye Lingfei and did not contain any drugs. The remaining red wine also did not contain any drugs.

The current evidence is more inclined to suggest that Ye Lingfei asked the person to meet her, took the opportunity to drug Lu Anning, lied that she was drunk, and took the person away with her accomplices.

Upon hearing this result, Ye Haojie almost lost his balance.

How dare she do this!

The biggest problem was that they could only confirm that they had taken the man from the bar, but they didn't know where they had taken him. Jiangcheng wasn't a big city, but it wasn't a small one either, so finding someone there was no easy task. Every minute of delay put Lu Anning in greater danger.

Ye Haojie bravely comforted Tang Jingyuan: "Since Li Shun is a gambler, perhaps they are just doing it for money. When the sun rises, they might contact you on their own initiative."

Tang Jingyuan looked at the inky night without saying a word. He was afraid that it was not just about seeking wealth.
