"Don't worry, that girl likes to wander off. Go and search every floor again, and get the mall security to help! I'm coming right away!" After hanging up the phone, Song Yunzheng finished explaining things to his assistant and rushed to Sanlitun in a great hurry.

The bustling city streets were filled with traffic, and cars came and went. The black Bentley Mulsanne, like a cheetah, darted through the traffic at high speed.

Song Yunzheng gripped the steering wheel tightly, the veins on the back of his hands bulging, and his knuckles turning white from the excessive force. The mechanical female voice constantly coming from his Bluetooth headset, along with the unanswered phone call, made him increasingly uneasy.

"Little girl, you'd better just be naughty and playful, or you're trying to scare me on purpose, that's for sure!" Song Yunzheng prayed silently as he drove.

Song Yunxi quickly found Manager Ma, the person in charge of the mall. He immediately recognized her and mobilized security personnel to actively cooperate in the search.

After searching around without success, Song Yunxi stared at the huge shopping mall, her heart pounding, her palms already soaked with sweat.

"Mr. Song, we've searched every floor. I suggest we check the security footage; it's very likely the person isn't in the mall," Manager Ma said earnestly.

"Yes, check the surveillance footage, quick, let's go now!" Song Yunxi slapped her forehead in frustration. This pig brain of hers failed her at such a crucial moment! Why didn't she think of this first? What a waste of time!

When Song Yunzheng rushed to the scene, the mall had already been cordoned off by the police, and drug-sniffing dogs were searching the area. Seeing this, his heart sank to the bottom, and he felt a chill run through him, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Brother!" Song Yunxi ran out of the mall anxiously. "The surveillance footage showed that my sister-in-law was drugged and taken away. The person was disguised so well that we couldn't see their face, but the blue dragon tattoo on the back of their hand is the same as the tattoo on the hands of the group that arrested me, only in a different location. It might be Duan Yulong!"

Song Yunzheng's face instantly turned horribly gloomy. He gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it! He managed to escape two years ago, and he actually dared to come back!"

He turned and walked into the mall, his steps heavy and firm, his eyes revealing an uncontrollable anger.

A tense atmosphere permeated the mall; people whispered among themselves, their faces filled with fear and unease.

Song Yunzheng strode towards the security room, where surveillance footage was playing.

He stared at the screen, clenching his teeth, his hands clenched into fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, his anger erupting like a volcano.

Suddenly, a policeman walked over and said to him, "We have sent more people to search the entire mall, but we haven't found any clues yet."

Song Yunzheng nodded, his face frighteningly grim. He knew perfectly well how dirty Duan Yulong's gang was, and every minute the little girl stayed in their hands was an increase in danger! Time was of the essence, and they couldn't delay any longer.

He then quickly dialed a number and coldly ordered, "Use all available connections. Find Duan Yulong's whereabouts before nightfall!"

He turned and left the security room, his steps quickening as if he were releasing all his power.

"Duan Yulong! If you dare to lay a finger on her, I will never let you go!" His icy eyes held an endless killing intent.

At this moment, Lin Yue was in a van. Her mouth was covered with black tape, so she couldn't make a sound. The van seemed to be driving on an extremely rugged mountain road, and she felt like her head was about to be bumped by the van door.

Slowly, the pain began to spread. Lin Yue groggily opened her eyes, feeling utterly weak, unable even to move her neck. As her vision cleared, she saw a burly, bald man in the passenger seat, while the driver was a tattooed, blond-haired man who looked very strong and capable.

She slowly twisted her body, trying to break free of the ropes binding her hands and feet, but the ropes were too tight, and her struggles were futile. The rough ropes would only injure her.

Although I was active and often got into fights since I was a child, it was all to protect myself. I only fought when I had no other choice. It was self-defense, and the opponents were people around my age.

But now, the other party was two burly men with shaved feet. The one with the blond hair and big tattooed arms was thicker than her thigh. How could she not be afraid? She wanted to break down and cry. She had only gone to the bathroom. Who knew she would be attacked suddenly? She woke up in a strange car and had no idea where she was.

If she can get back unharmed, she vows that she will never go to the bathroom alone again!

Suddenly, the car made a sharp turn, as if it were going downhill, and then slowly came to a stop. Lin Yue immediately closed her eyes and pretended to be dizzy. Then she heard the sound of the door opening.

"Brother Long, I've brought the woman here for you. It took me a lot of effort. There are a lot of people and eyes in the mall, but luckily this woman is petite, which made it easy for me to disguise myself. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have been able to get out of the mall."

Brother Long? Who is Brother Long? In my short twenty years, I don't think I've ever met anyone whose name has the character "Long" in it.

“Well done. Two years ago, my brother died at the hands of her boyfriend, and she cunningly escaped from me. This time I finally caught her again. It’s time for her to pay the price. Wu Zi, when this bitch’s family sends money, Brother Long won’t treat you unfairly. You’ll get your share.”

Lin Yue was completely bewildered in the car, utterly confused. What was all this about? Two years ago, I was still in high school! Where was I supposed to find a boyfriend? Had these people arrested the wrong person? Good heavens! What kind of bad luck had I had lately? Why did I keep running into all this crap? I definitely had to go to Uncle Si's place to burn incense when I got back.
