A deep worry appeared on the spirit's face.

The watches on her and her junior sister's wrists were specially treated so that if one of them was in danger, the other would come to their rescue as soon as they pressed a button.

When that mysterious man in black came to kill Qin Jingwen last time, she used this watch to send a distress signal to her junior sister.

Ordinary people are no match for Junior Sister; her disappearance must mean something extraordinary.

This was the first time he had completely lost contact with his junior sister, and the spirit began to panic.

She first called Gu Jueye back and explained the situation: "I'm sorry, I couldn't get in touch with her. You should use your connections to continue searching for her whereabouts, and I'll try other methods to see if I can get in touch with her."

Gu Jueye hung up the phone, his handsome face unusually cold, a dark cloud hanging over his brows.

"Seventh Master, we've checked all the surveillance footage. At 7:18, Miss Bai walked in through the main entrance of Jinyu Huating. After that, we could see her in the elevator and the corridor. In other words, Miss Bai did indeed return home at that time."

After saying that, Rong Yi looked at Gu Jueye with a puzzled expression: "During the time between when you discovered that Miss Bai was missing, Miss Bai was not seen in the corridor on the 17th floor or at the elevator entrance. The surveillance cameras in the community and the area near the four exits did not show Miss Bai. It's as if she disappeared into thin air."

Gu Jueye sat on the sofa, his whole being enveloped in a layer of hostility: "Continue to expand the scope of the investigation, and pay attention to suspicious persons or vehicles outside the community."

"yes!"

After the Gu family left, Gu Jueye stared intently at the surveillance footage, carefully examining every frame, afraid of missing any important information.

After personally reviewing all the surveillance footage, I still couldn't spot the familiar figure.

His hands, hanging at his sides, were clenched tightly, and his dark pupils were filled with a chilling aura.

The familiar scene unfolded once again.

He will never forget June 19th, two years ago.

The night before, she happily hugged him and told him that she was about to graduate.

Before going to sleep, she hugged his neck and acted coquettishly, asking him to set aside a whole day the next day to attend her graduation ceremony.

That night, they were all so happy and excited that they couldn't sleep.

The little girl took out two cans of beer from the refrigerator. She was the type to get drunk almost as soon as she drank any alcohol, and after a few sips, her whole face turned rosy.

"Gu Jueye, I'm graduating tomorrow. I'll go back to China with you then, and we'll get married. Will you... will you agree?"

He sat on the carpet in front of the sofa, one hand on the sofa and the other holding a can of beer, looking at the dazed little girl in front of him with amusement.

"You're still too young!"

The little girl got angry as soon as she heard that.

She stood up and pounced on him rudely and domineeringly.

"Small? What do you mean I'm small? Where am I small? No, no..."

Seemingly wanting to prove she was "not young," she flirtatiously tossed her long hair, her eyes glazed over as she stared at the man so close to her. She reached out her slender, white hands, cupped his face, and said with a hint of drunkenness, "Gu Jueye, I want to propose to you. Will you... will you marry me? I promise I will cherish you, love you, pamper you, and never let you down."

With a faint smile in his eyes, Gu Jueye looked at the girl who was so drunk that she couldn't even tell her own gender. He hooked his arm over the sofa and pulled her onto his lap.

His other hand gently touched her cool, delicate cheek: "Are you going to propose to me?"

Bai Qianmo nodded vigorously: "Yes, will you marry me?"

The smile on the man's thin lips deepened: "Seriously?"

"certainly!"

To show her sincerity, the little girl chuckled and magically produced the pull tab of a soda can, holding it up to Gu Jueye like a treasure.

"See? The ring is all ready." He took Gu Jueye's hand seriously and carefully slipped the ring onto his ring finger, little by little.

"Take this, and you'll be mine. After we go back to China, once I turn 18...on my birthday, we'll...get married."

Feeling dizzy, the girl snuggled comfortably into the man's arms after saying those words and fell asleep peacefully.

She slept soundly, but her presence disturbed the man's peaceful heart.

Gu Jueye lowered his eyes to look at the delicate, rosy-cheeked woman in his arms, his gaze focused and intense for a long time. His cool fingertips caressed her exquisite features.

"Okay, let's get married as soon as we get back to China!"

*

Frustrated, Gu Jueye tugged at his collar, got up, and walked to the balcony. His dark gaze suddenly fell on a row of succulents on the flower stand and several potted green plants hanging on it.

His deep eyes stared intently at the new splash of color that had been added to the balcony.

When she suddenly disappeared that year, he spent a whole year searching the entire state of O. Just like now, she vanished without a trace.

During that time, he really resented her, and even felt that what she said on her last night was just her drunken tantrum, but he believed it to be true.

Seeing the green plants on the balcony, memories that Gu Jueye didn't want to dwell on gradually became clearer.

She was so happy when she moved here, and she even cleaned the house herself. She even went to the mall to buy some green plants to decorate the room. She was just like she was two years ago, full of hope for the future. How could she leave without saying goodbye?
