Chapter 55: Ups and Downs

After receiving the message, Qian Xiaoling took the door card and ran into the house.

She ran all the way to the third floor and saw the door was open. She ran in and saw Lu Chengchuan carrying a man in his hand. The guy was like a boneless person, and his body hung to the ground like soft noodles.

The room was clean and tidy, with no signs of a fight.

Lu Chengchuan beat the man like a dead dog, and the Black Tower mercenary had no chance to resist at all.

After taking the man to the car, Lu Chengchuan tied his hands and covered his head with a hood. He was still worried, so he asked Qian Xiaoling to give him an injection of anesthetic.

After successfully capturing one person, Qian Xiaoling drove forward. The second target was not far away, about 500 meters away, and the car quickly drove downstairs.

Asking her to keep an eye on the people downstairs, Lu Chengchuan hurried upstairs.

On the fifth floor of the self-built house, Lu Chengchuan knocked on the door in the same order as before, but there was no movement in the room for a long time after the third knock.

There were no footsteps and it was very quiet inside.

"Did he run away..."

Lu Chengchuan went up and knocked on the door hard. The knocking sound echoed in the narrow corridor. It was almost three o'clock in the morning, and anyone would wake up if she knocked on the door like that.

"Why are you knocking on the door in the middle of the night? Can't you let me sleep?"

The person he was looking for didn't get up, but instead woke someone else up, and a man with his upper body naked rushed out.

"Where have the people in this family gone?"

"How should I know? It's the middle of the night. If you want to find someone, just call them instead of knocking on their door! It's disturbing their sleep. I have to go to work tomorrow! Please, brother, don't bother me here in the middle of the night."

The man said bluntly that he didn't know who the people inside were or where they had gone, he just wanted to have a good sleep.

Without waiting for Lu Chengchuan to reply, the man turned around and went back to sleep.

After looking at both sides, Lu Chengchuan stopped knocking on the door. He took out his communicator and asked Qian Xiaoling to come up and pick the lock.

"I'll be right there."

Qian Xiaoling hung up the communicator and gave the Black Tower mercenary behind her a dose of anesthetic. After making sure that the person would not wake up in the short term, she set off with the lock-picking tools.

"Mr. Lu, is there anyone inside?" On the fifth floor, seeing Lu Chengchuan standing at the door, Qian Xiaoling guessed that he was not there.

"Maybe he's not here. Let's pry the door open first."

Lu Chengchuan thought that the person was gone, but he still wanted to go in and take a look. Maybe the person was hiding inside and not talking.

Qian Xiaoling went up and fiddled with it for a while, and with a click, she easily pried open the lock.

"You're...very skilled at this."

This lock picking is a bit fast and a bit too professional.

"These are all compulsory courses for us. Any operative from the Investigation Bureau is a master lock picker. This kind of lock is just a psychological comfort. It's not difficult to pick it in the real world."

Qian Xiaoling shook the universal tool in her hand. Most door locks on the market are not difficult to pry open, but if you pry them open you will be caught by the police, so it seems very safe.

The door opened and Lu Chengchuan pushed it open and walked in.

There was a lot of furniture in the house, but no one was in either room. The bed was messy, and there was some trash on the floor. Someone must have run away, and in a hurry.

“They got the message.”

If you can't find the person, it means he has been transferred after receiving the message.

"Then are we still going to look for it?" Qian Xiaoling asked.

"No need to look for her. Let's go back and tell Captain Zhou the news. The situation should be similar over there." Lu Chengchuan turned and walked out.

There's no need to keep looking. These guys are as cunning as ghosts. They must have hidden themselves after receiving the news.

Qian Xiaoling left with him and returned to the car. She quickly sent a message to the captain.

Not long after, the captain replied and asked her to take her men back to the police station, and tonight's operation was declared over.

After receiving the order, Qian Xiaoling immediately drove to the police station. Lu Chengchuan sat in the back seat, always watching the unconscious Black Tower mercenary in case he suddenly woke up and activated his supernatural powers.

The car returned to the main road and soon met the car Zhou Yaning and others were riding in.

Zhou Yaning and his team came up empty-handed and caught no one. Only Lu Chengchuan caught one. The operation was not considered a success, so they took their men back and waited for news.

There is another rescue operation tonight, and I hope it will be successful.

After a sleepless night, Lu Chengchuan and his team waited at the police station until morning, around seven o'clock, when they finally received news.

It's good news. More than two hundred people were rescued. They were hidden in a small factory. The factory owner had a relationship with the owner of the lending company. The two of them helped cover up for the Black Tower mercenaries.

"Captain Zhou, could you please ask for me if there is a girl named Gu Wangshu among those rescued?"

After rescuing over a hundred people, Lu Chengchuan wanted to know if Gu Wangshu was among them. With over a hundred people, about one-third of the missing persons had been found. If Gu Wangshu wasn't among them, he would have to keep looking.

"I'll ask for you, but you'll have to wait."

Zhou Yaning asked for him, but the personnel information would have to wait a while. This matter was not something they were responsible for, so Zhou Yaning had to find someone to find out.

Lu Chengchuan waited for more than an hour, and Zhou Yaning asked someone to clarify.

"A total of 137 people were rescued, excluding the Gu Wangshu you mentioned. There are still places in the city where we haven't found him. Hundreds of people are missing, and we've only found a small portion of them now."

"There are more than 200 people...where will they hide..."

Just as he was thinking, the phone rang. It was Gu Mingwei calling. It seemed that he had also received the message.

"Mr. Lu, I received news that the police rescued a group of people. Can you come with me to look for them?" Gu Mingwei knew about the police's rescue operation, but that was all he knew.

"Boss Gu, I'm telling you, don't worry. Someone here told me that your daughter isn't among the over 200 people who were rescued. I'm still trying to find her, so don't worry."

Gu Mingwei was very much looking forward to it, but unfortunately Lu Chengchuan also received the news in advance that Gu Wangshu was not inside.

"He's not here... He hasn't come back... Mr. Lu, is your friend sure he saw it right?"

Gu Mingwei did not doubt Lu Chengchuan's strength. Lu Chengchuan was powerful and mysterious, so he must have some special relationship. What he was worried about was that those people had made a mistake.

"The information has been sorted out and there will be no mistakes. Don't worry, I will continue looking and will definitely find Gu Wangshu back." Lu Chengchuan assured him.

"Then...I'll leave it to you."

It was a false alarm, and Gu Mingwei's emotions were up and down. He could only respond reluctantly.

Lu Chengchuan hung up the phone. He promised the person, but he was still unsure in his heart. He could kill people or monsters, but it was really difficult for him to find someone.

"Don't worry. We're sure they're in the west of the city now. As long as we keep looking, they'll eventually be unable to hide."

"I'm afraid they will become desperate and do something crazy. If something happens to them, I won't be able to explain it to them." Lu Chengchuan was worried that something might happen to them.

If the kidnapper doesn't ask for money or make any demands, then the only thing he's doing is taking someone's life.

"God's revelation, the divine blood stone, what do you think this thing is made of?" Lu Chengchuan thought of the black snake's memory, the content about the divine blood stone and God.

They wouldn't have gotten some weird stuff and used humans to refine the so-called divine blood stone.
