"Don't worry." Mingyuan calmed me down. "At least we now know why he left, so we can narrow the search area."

Mingyuan immediately summoned all the bodyguards and went to the gate of the villa area to check the surveillance.

The surveillance footage showed Che Xiaofeng leaving on foot alone, just before we returned home.

All in all, it took just over an hour.

At walking speed, we shouldn't have gone too far.

Mingyuan mobilized almost all of his bodyguards to go out and search, leaving only Brother Li Tao in the villa to protect us.

Everyone in the family felt uneasy without any news about Che Xiaofeng.

I sat in the living room all night, and Qiu Qiu and Mingyuan stayed with me all night.

Even though I advised Mingsi to go back and rest, he tossed and turned in the room for a long time and finally went downstairs.

Since Che Xiaofeng didn't come back, everyone was destined to be unable to sleep that night.

But after a whole night, even after all the bodyguards were dispatched, they could not find any trace of Che Xiaofeng.

He had no money or cell phone on him, so Mingyuan couldn't locate him even if he wanted to.

If there is any danger, he will have no way to contact us.

After an extremely torturous night, I finally couldn't bear it anymore the next morning.

"No! We can't wait any longer. The longer we wait, the more dangerous it becomes. Che Xiaofeng couldn't have walked that far alone. There must be something fishy going on." I made a decision immediately. "Call the police and ask them to help us find him. They always have more clues than us."

Mingsi also agreed with my decision and urged Mingyuan: "Call the police. We've been out of contact for 12 hours."

Mingyuan contacted the police and they immediately went out to search for him.

The servants made us breakfast, but none of us had an appetite.

In the end, it was Qiu Qiu who persuaded him: "Eat a little, otherwise how will you have the energy to continue waiting for clues from Xiao Feng?"

I pulled Mingsi and reluctantly ate a few bites.

Qiu Qiu brought the buns to Mingyuan.

Mingyuan, who was investigating the children's watch, suddenly exclaimed, "Got it!"

Mingsi and I put down our spoons at the same time. I walked over quickly and asked, "Did you find out anything?"

"Someone called Xiaofeng today. It was an unfamiliar number, and the call lasted quite a while."

My brows furrowed. This meant that Che Xiaofeng’s departure must be related to this strange phone call.

I immediately urged Mingyuan: "Give it a try."

Mingyuan called back with his own cell phone, and a moment later, a woman's voice came from the line.

"Hello, hello, who are you?"

Mingyuan frowned, and asked tentatively with suspicion, "Do you know Che Xiaofeng?"

"Xiaofeng?" The woman was a little surprised and asked in confusion, "Xiaofeng is my son! What's wrong? If he has any problems, you can contact his father directly. Why are you calling me?"

When she mentioned Che Xiaofeng, her tone was full of impatience.

I heard Che Xiaofeng talk about his mother. Even though his mother abandoned him without hesitation, Che Xiaofeng never had any complaints against his mother.

So when I heard this attitude, I was really angry.

I snatched the phone away and asked directly, "Lin Fengxia, right? Did you contact Xiaofeng today? Did you ask him to come find you?"

"When did I contact him? Don't talk nonsense." Lin Fengxia denied, "I never called him."
