After getting off the bus.

He hurriedly hung up on Zhang Huaiyi, then quickly pushed open the study door and strode to the computer desk where many people were gathered.

"So, what's the latest development?"

"That explains why you weren't answering the phone." After putting down his phone, Zhang Huaiyi gestured to the technicians to retrieve the surveillance footage. "Didn't I tell you before that we found a lead on the van? Here, take a look for yourself."

The surveillance footage shows the car leaving the company garage.

According to the time displayed in the upper right corner of the screen, the road conditions were normal from the time the car left the garage until it entered the main road and then pulled over to check the tire pressure. There were no other vehicles following the car.

When it was time to pull over and check the tire pressure, Uncle Wu got out of the car first.

A few dozen seconds later, Shu Yi also got out of the car, holding a lunchbox in her hand. She turned around and said something to Uncle Wu, then walked to the right.

After walking a few steps, the surveillance cameras could no longer capture his figure.

That alleyway was also a blind spot for surveillance cameras, and there were no businesses around it.

Within five minutes, Shu Yi was taken away in a van, even brushing past Uncle Wu.

The van had no license plate, was old, and was of a common model.

It's so common that you see these all over the streets.

It's clear that the other party came prepared; they must be a group of professional kidnappers.

If we hand the video over to the police directly, they will probably be at a loss.

"Brother, you're being too impulsive." Zhang Huaiyi's voice interrupted his thoughts. "The security checkpoints are going to reopen in an hour. What do you suggest we do?"

"What did you find out?" Zhang Youye asked in a cold voice.

"Young Master You, according to the existing surveillance footage, the last time the van was captured, it was entering the tunnel. Strangely, the van did not come out."

After saying that, the technicians switched to the footage of the last time the van was found.

After confirming repeatedly that the van in the surveillance footage really hadn't come out of the tunnel, Zhang Youye was about to send someone to the tunnel to investigate.

Seeing his thoughts, Zhang Huaiyi quickly stopped him.

"I've already sent someone to investigate. Don't worry, they'll let us know when they have any news."

"Brother, look for yourself. After you come out of this tunnel, it leads to the urban village. If they really keep driving along this route, it means that these people have no intention of leaving the city."

He paused for a moment, then adjusted the gold trim on his nose and added with a serious expression.

"As long as they haven't left the city, we still need to find a way to continue having people checked at security checkpoints."

As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps sounded outside the door, and the door was pushed open.

When the two looked up, they saw Zhang Zhitin walking hurriedly, and Zhang Ningying standing beside him, trying to comfort him.

"Alright, Yi Yi is missing. You Ye only resorted to this method because he was anxious. He didn't do anything wrong."

“This is a kidnapping. What if they manage to get out of the city in one go? At least there’s some hope if we’re trapped in Jingnan. But once we’re out of Jingnan, where are we supposed to find them? If the old man wakes up and finds out about this, I don’t know how furious he’ll be.”

Zhang Zhiting frowned helplessly, unable to pull away Zhang Ningying who was clinging to his arm.

"I didn't come back to scold this kid, let go of me first."

Having finally been released, Zhang Zhiting quickly went to the two brothers' side and, disregarding the presence of outsiders, directly raised his hand and slapped Zhang Youye on the back of the head.

"You brat! Why aren't you answering our calls? You don't even have any evidence yet. Instead of finding Yiyi, what are you doing causing trouble at the Qin family's house?"

"How would we know it wasn't the Qin family if we didn't make a scene?" Zhang Youye stared at the surveillance footage in front of him with an unwavering coldness in his eyes. "I saw the entire Qin family except for Qin Tong."

"You suspect him?" Zhang Huaiyi interjected.

With multiple people and multiple minds, they took a few photos of the surveillance footage and sent them to Shu Chuanran.

Putting away his phone, Zhang Youye glanced at the time: "Eighty percent. I already had someone check Qin Tong's whereabouts these past two days on the way back. I'm going out now, so let me know as soon as you have any news."

Worried that Zhang Youye might do something outrageous again, Zhang Ningying stepped forward and grabbed his arm.

"Where are you going again? Don't cause trouble outside at this time, you know?"

"They're taking too long. I want to go to the tunnel myself and see for myself."

After calming his aunt down, Zhang Youye pointed to the paused part of the surveillance footage and signaled to the technicians to bring up the route at the alley entrance so he could try to analyze it.

"This route is on that route in the alley. The Shu family has not received any ransom calls from these kidnappers yet. Either they are not after money, or they are preparing something big."

"Assuming our guesses are correct, this group must be hiding somewhere in Jingnan."

“Jingnan is densely populated and has surveillance cameras everywhere, so there aren’t many places to really hide. If you follow this route, there are only a few places to hide.”

Spreading the map of Jingnan on the coffee table in front of him, Zhang Youye took the red pen handed to him by Zhang Huaiyi and calmly analyzed the situation while using the process of elimination to mark suspicious target points along the route of the van.

After identifying all the suspicious locations, Zhang Youye's already furrowed brows deepened.

His heart sank, and he looked up at the two people whose brows were also furrowed.

"There are still too many targets, Second Uncle. Huaiyi and I definitely don't have enough manpower. We need your help."

"Tell me, how can you help me, Uncle?"

After marking several coordinates for his second uncle and several for Zhang Huaiyi, Zhang Youye finally focused his pen on the largest target, the urban village, and gave his instructions.

"Second Uncle, send more people to thoroughly investigate these locations."

Before the two could respond, Zhang Youye asked again.

"The security checkpoint is about to open in twenty minutes, Uncle, do you have any ideas?"

At this point, Zhang Zhiting finally remembered the important matter.

Still harboring anger over Zhang Youye's disturbance at the Qin family's residence, he kicked his nephew in the shin.

"That'll teach you to answer my calls! I came back specifically to tell you this. I received news of Yiyi's disappearance from your brother, so I rushed to the company to talk to your father about what to do. Then I received a complaint call from the Qin family."

"Qin Zhengjing said there was only one hour, so I quickly made contact. The main problem is that this happened too suddenly. It's not a special day, and suddenly we have to stop for inspection. Several checkpoints have already experienced accidents."

"We have now received a reply that, in order to avoid panic, the checkpoint will be closed before midnight tonight."

Zhang Zhiting stopped Zhang Youye, who was about to get up and leave after listening, and emphasized the last sentence.

"Remember, it's not certain yet whether the Qin family did it, so don't make a big fuss, understand?"

After offering a brief but meaningful reminder, Zhang Youye brushed aside his second uncle's palm and left without looking back.
