In a sealed room made of special materials, Bai Qianmo looked around.

There was nothing else in the room except a single bed and a chair. The room was about 30 square meters and felt particularly empty because it was unfurnished.

The door was made of a material that resembled iron, but she knew it was definitely not iron from Earth.

She had just tried to go through that door, but failed.

Bai Qianmo's gaze fell on a wall, and she reached out to try to pass through it, but her outstretched hand touched a hard, cold wall.

Just as she guessed, since the door was made of a special material, the walls were naturally made of the same material as well.

Those who can be imprisoned here are naturally not ordinary people.

Since she couldn't escape, Bai Qianmo simply calmed down and sat down by the bed.

I took out my phone and glanced at it; it was almost midnight.

By this time, news of her disappearance should have already reached Fifth Brother's ears.

Su Peishan had just dropped Du Muchen off at home.

Du Muchen's phone rang urgently.

"What did you say? Qianmo is missing?"

Xinghe's anxious voice came from over there.

"On our way back to the city, we suddenly encountered something strange. When we got out of the car to check it out, I don't know why, but I fainted. When we woke up, Miss Bai was gone."

Du Muchen's heart tightened immediately.

"Immediately mobilize everyone in the Du family, contact police stations and traffic management bureaus in all districts of the capital, check the surveillance footage from that time, and we must find her whereabouts."

"yes!"

Upon hearing the contents of Du Muchen's phone call, Su Peishan felt a sense of unease.

"What's wrong with Qianmo?"

Du Muchen hung up the phone and looked at Su Peishan expressionlessly.

"Xinghe called and said that they encountered an unknown creature on their way back. Xinghe then suddenly fell into a coma, and when he woke up, Xiaomomo was nowhere to be found."

Su Peishan stared wide-eyed in astonishment.

"What is meant by 'unknown creature'?"

"I'm not entirely clear on the specifics either." Du Muchen walked into the dressing room and picked out a black hoodie from the wardrobe.

Ignoring the injury on his arm, he quickly put on the hoodie.

"Are you crazy?" Su Peishan scolded him as she saw him dressing so quickly.

Du Muchen glanced at her angry face: "You didn't know I've always been crazy?"

Su Peishan pursed her lips.

She was being nosy. That kid is a madman in heaven; there's nothing he wouldn't dare to do if he wanted to.

Where are you going now?

"Just like going to the research institute, I always felt that the person who kidnapped Xiao Momo was not an ordinary human. With our capabilities, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to find her."

"I'll go with you."

Du Muchen finished dressing and walked out of the dressing room.

"You've been drugged by Mu Qing, and your eyelids are almost closed. Just stay here and rest for the night. I'll call you when I hear news about Qian Mo."

Su Peishan quickly shook her head.

“Qianmo is in trouble, how could I possibly sleep? Maybe Mu Qing didn’t administer a large dose of the drug. I’m much more awake now.”

Seeing her resolute attitude, Du Muchen silently stared at her for a moment.

Let's go.

Gu Jueye and Daze went out together, and it was already past midnight when they returned to the research institute.

Upon entering the research institute, Aunt Xue was still sitting in the living room.

"Mr. Gu, you're finally back."

"Is Qianmo asleep?"

Aunt Xue looked puzzled.

"Miss Bai hasn't come back yet. I thought she was with you."

Gu Jueye frowned immediately.

He immediately took out his phone and dialed Bai Qianmo's number.

"The user you dialed is not in service. Please try again later."

The message "out of service area" indicates that her signal is very poor at this location.

Although this girl has been busy lately and often doesn't get home until very late, she always makes sure to call him if she does.

Even when he was very busy, she would still call Fang Shu to let him know.

"Fang Shu, has Qian Mo called you?"

Fang Shu immediately took out his phone to check, afraid that he might have missed something.

After checking, he shook his head: "No."

Gu Jueye's face grew increasingly gloomy.

Just then, Gu Teng walked in from outside the door.

"Master, Du Muchen has come and says he wants to see you about Miss Bai."

Gu Jueye immediately said, "Let him in."

moment

Du Muchen, Su Peishan, Xinghe, and Xinghai entered the research institute.

Gu Jueye was already waiting at the door. When Du Muchen and his group walked over, he quickly glanced at them.

Not seeing Bai Qianmo, his already indifferent face grew even colder.

"Where is Qianmo?"

There wasn't a single wasted word; he got straight to the point.

Du Muchen's heart clenched. Faced with Gu Jueye's gaze at that moment, he was at a loss for words.

"Qianmo was kidnapped by an unknown creature on her way back to the city."

Upon hearing this answer, Gu Jueye's heart trembled violently.

Explain clearly.

Du Muchen glanced at Xinghe and Xinghai.

“You know the situation best at the time, so explain it to the Duke in detail.”

The two recounted in detail the strange events that had occurred on their way back to the city.

"Have you gotten a clear look at what that unidentified creature looks like?"

Xinghe shook his head.

Xinghai suddenly said, "I was driving when I saw a monster with gray skin flash past the car. It was incredibly fast and disappeared into the woods in the blink of an eye. Xinghe and I got out of the car to check, but we didn't find anything. Then, for some reason, we both suddenly passed out. When we woke up, Miss Bai was no longer in the car."

After listening to the whole thing, Gu Jueye suppressed his worries.

He knew very well that he needed to be extremely calm at this moment in order to analyze the problem more quickly.

Are there surveillance cameras at the scene of the incident?

"Yes, but we just contacted the traffic management bureau. Strangely, a few minutes before our car arrived there, the surveillance video on that section of the road suddenly malfunctioned, so the surveillance footage didn't capture anything useful."

Gu Jueye fell into deep thought.

Based on the analysis of the entire process, the other party was not human. Its skin was gray, and it could manipulate people's consciousness and the surrounding magnetic field at will. Therefore, after Xinghe and the others got off the car, they were directly controlled by the other party before they even saw its appearance.

Furthermore, anyone who can take Qianmo away must be someone whose abilities surpass hers, unless she is willing to do so.

There are very few people whose abilities surpass hers.

After considering the whole picture, Gu Jueye had already formed a bold guess in his mind.
