The nanny van was parked outside the residential area, the engine was still running, and the right turn signal was flashing, as if it had just arrived and was parked there.

However, when Yin Chengjue walked up to the car and saw Xiao Yang slumped in the driver's seat, and the empty passenger seat and back seat, he realized that he had put his mind at ease too soon.

"Xiao Yang!" Yin Chengjue pounded on the driver's side door. "Xiao Yang! Wake up!"

Yin Chengjue slapped the car so hard that it shook violently. Xiao Yang, who was leaning against the driver's seat, seemed to be startled awake. He looked around blankly and quickly noticed Yin Chengjue outside the car window. He quickly rolled down the window.

"Where is Xiaoyu?" Yin Chengjue asked repeatedly.

"Huh? Isn't Brother Rong sitting in the back... uh? Where's Brother Rong? Uh? Wait, why am I asleep?" Xiao Yang said as he looked back, only to find the back seat empty, with no sign of Rong Yu.

Xiao Yang was also confused: "Where's Rong Ge? Did he get out of the car and leave by himself?"

Yin Chengjue tried hard to calm himself down. He was the last person who could panic at this moment, so he asked, "Do you remember what happened before you fainted?"

Xiao Yang was sitting diagonally in the driver's seat with his head against the driver's side door. Yin Chengjue banged on the door so hard that although Xiao Yang was woken up, his head was still buzzing. He could still hear the banging sounds and was a little dazed.

But when faced with Yin Chengjue's murderous gaze, Xiao Yang forced himself to stay alert and tried to recall, "Brother Rong said he was going to pick up a package across the street, so I... I parked the car here first. I was worried about paparazzi, so I rolled down the window to look out. Suddenly, a hand holding a rag reached out and tightly covered my nose. I thought someone was trying to kill me in broad daylight..."

Xiao Yang said, still a little shaken: "Then I don't remember anything. I was woken up by you patting me..."

While Xiao Yang was speaking, Yin Chengjue had already turned the back seat of the car upside down, trying to see if any clues were left inside.

They only found a cell phone that had been thrown under the seat. Rong Yu's usual bag was missing, but the other items were already in the car.

Yin Chengjue stepped out of the car and looked around. He immediately spotted the surveillance camera not far away, but the camera lens wasn't pointing in this direction. This was exactly the camera's blind spot!

Yin Chengjue went to the security room, asked around, and got permission from the security guard to go in. He found that the surveillance camera could only see the front half of the car.

However, since the footage provided even the slightest clue, Yin Chengjue immediately contacted the property management and retrieved the video footage from that time period.

In the video, after Xiao Yang's car stopped in that spot, someone walked over from behind. He was wearing a black jacket, a baseball cap, and a mask, and looked like he was just passing by. He walked all the way to the car door before suddenly taking his hand out of his pocket and reaching into the car.

Soon, the man withdrew his hand, along with the rag in his hand, and put it into his pocket.

However, that's all we can see; we can't see what actually happened in the back seat.

"This, this is a kidnapping, isn't it? Let's call the police!" Xiao Yang said as he took out his phone.

"Wait a minute!" Yin Chengjue blocked Xiao Yang's phone screen: "It shouldn't be a kidnapping."

Yin Chengjue had just thoroughly inspected the nanny van, and there were no signs of a struggle or fighting inside. He was checking the surveillance footage just to confirm this.

Even if the surveillance footage only captured part of the scene, if a real fight broke out, it wouldn't be as quiet as it appears on the monitor. Furthermore, Rong Yu was sitting in the back seat, not the driver's or passenger's seat; his position wasn't fixed. Reaching in through the window would make it difficult to cover his mouth and nose, and given Rong Yu's skills, he could probably break someone's hand the moment they tried to slip it in…

Of course, this possibility cannot be completely ruled out.

Yin Chengjue rubbed his temples in frustration, muttering to himself, "If it were a kidnapping, there should be a phone call by now... a phone call..."

Yin Chengjue immediately found Murong He's phone number and was about to press the dial button when he paused. As if possessed, he then found Murong Shu's phone number and dialed it.

The call rang a few times before being cut off. Yin Chengjue dialed again, only to be cut off once more. After several attempts, the call finally connected, and Murong Shu's voice was filled with impatience: "What do you want?"

Yin Chengjue: "Second brother, Xiaoyu has disappeared. Someone drugged her assistant. What should we do? Second brother, do you have any way to find her?"

Murong Shu scoffed and chuckled on the phone: "Yin Chengjue, is that all you've got? You can't even find a single person, and you're coming to me for help? What a joke!"

Upon hearing Murong Shu's words, Yin Chengjue turned and ran to his car, quickly taking out his earphones and putting them on while driving.

Murong Shu: "Hello?"

Yin Chengjue: "Yes, Second Brother, thank you."

Murong Shu: "Who's your second brother! Don't just claim kinship with people like that! And besides, I never agreed to help you, so why are you thanking me!"

Yin Chengjue: "..." Of course, it's to thank you for telling me where Xiaoyu is now.

Upon hearing that Rong Yu was missing, Murong Shu's first reaction was to mock him for being incompetent, which shows that Murong Shu definitely knew where Rong Yu was now, and that the place was very safe.

As for that place, apart from the Murong family, Yin Chengjue had no other choice.

Fortunately, I called Murong Shu first; if I had called Murong He, I probably wouldn't have been able to get anything out of him.

Having obtained the information he wanted, Yin Chengjue had no time to deal with Murong Shu. He simply said, "Sorry, I'll hang up now," and unilaterally ended the call.

On the other side, Murong Shu, who wanted to say a few more sarcastic remarks, was speechless.

Murong Shu's expression was somewhat distorted. Pointing at his phone screen, he said to Murong He sitting next to him, "Look at this! Is this how he asks for help? He just hangs up on me like this! I've never hung up on you, and he keeps calling me 'Second Brother,' but he hangs up so easily!"

Murong He: "If I could, I'd like to take your brain out and hang it up too."

Murong He rubbed his temples: "I told you to watch your tone when you speak, just use your normal voice, don't embellish it, why don't you listen?"

Murong Shu said innocently, "That's just my usual tone!"

Murong He: "Then let me ask you, if someone called to tell you that Xiaoyu has been kidnapped, what would your first reaction be?"

Murong Shu: "Uh... have the kidnappers keep an eye on him and don't let him escape. I can double the money..."

Murong He: "...So that's what you just said?"

Murong Shu: "..." The problem is, Yin Chengjue isn't a kidnapper either!

"What's all the noise about! Second brother, where did you learn such a loud voice from! I can hear you babbling away all over the place from upstairs!" A loud voice roared from the direction of the second-floor staircase.

The two brothers: "..." Do we even need to ask who he learned from?

"...You guys are such a handful! We have to beg and plead with you to come home! It's a waste of our time raising you all!" A middle-aged man came down from upstairs. Although he was dressed in casual home clothes, he exuded the aura of a leader coming to inspect the place.

"Dad," Murong He said, "I suggest you go and change your clothes now."

Murong Anbang's eyes widened: "You think you're all grown up now, interfering with everything and even what clothes I wear at home!"

Murong He: "Normally I wouldn't care. Even if you wore clothes with so little fabric at home with Mom, I wouldn't mind. But later we might have an uninvited guest. Are you sure you want to meet him in these... husky pajamas?"

Murong Anbang: "What's wrong with these pajamas! They're the same style as your fourth brother's! I had them custom-made!"

"Awooo!" A dog bark rang out in perfect unison.

Murong Anbang's serious expression visibly softened. He bent down, picked up the husky, which was almost half his height when straightened up, and laughed, "Oh, my good son! Let Daddy give you a kiss!"

Murong He and Murong He instantly looked pale.

"Will there be any guests later? Who are they? Your friends?" A kind-looking woman came downstairs with a smile. Rong Yu's appearance was about 70-80% similar to hers, except that she had a few more fine lines between her eyebrows and eyes.

She was wearing the same husky-themed pajamas as Murong Anbang...

Murong He said, "Mom, someone will come, but they won't be friends."

Murong Shu frowned at his elder brother: "Who would come at this time?"

Murong He picked up his teacup and took a sip: "Who else could it be? Whoever you were talking to just now is whoever it is."

Murong Shu: ? "No! How did he know to come here!?"

Murong He: "Otherwise what? Do I need to share my location with you in real time to figure out how to find my way?"

Listening to her two sons' conversation, Rong Yueya guessed, "Could it be that Xiaoshu's girlfriend is coming?" Otherwise, why would she be on the phone with Xiaoshu and asking for his location? Just now, she vaguely heard Murong telling Anbang to change into something more formal upstairs.

"No! How could that be!" Murong Shu was shocked by his mother's words, and felt goosebumps all over his body.

Rong Yueya had only made a casual guess, but seeing Murong Shu's strong reaction, she was also startled: "Could it really be his girlfriend? The house isn't tidied up yet, it's such a mess, it's not good for people to see... Oh! What did your fourth brother take apart again?"

Murong Shu: "No!! Big brother! Explain yourself!"

Murong He: "Actually, it's pretty much the same. Anyway, someone's coming, so it's always good to tidy up." It's just that the person coming isn't the second brother's girlfriend, but the third brother's boyfriend.

Murong Shu: !!! Your explanation is worse than no explanation at all!

Rong Yueya: "Oh dear! What are you waiting for? Hurry up and get ready!" With that, she pushed Murong Anbang towards the room.

The cleaning lady, who had been listening to the whole thing, quickly grabbed a broom and came over to clean up the fourth son's "masterpiece".

Seeing his hard-earned "labor results" from the morning being shoveled away and dumped into the trash can by the cleaning lady, the fourth child cried out in sorrow.
