Gu Huainan ran to the hotel and explained the situation to the front desk.

The receptionist blushed when she saw his roguish charm mixed with a touch of seriousness, and said that she couldn't make the decision herself and had to ask her supervisor.

Gu Huainan had no time to enjoy the admiration of the beautiful woman and stammered as he urged her on.

"Quickly, finding them is the priority, or something bad might happen."

"She's a guest staying at your hotel, so you can't escape responsibility either, right?"

The little girl nodded hurriedly, making one call after another until the call finally went through.

After she finished explaining, the other party seemed unimpressed.

The young girl covered the microphone and whispered, "Sister Sun, this person is from Jiangzhou, from the Gu family. You should have heard of them, right?"

"He said the person who went missing was Lu Yi's girlfriend, the real young master who was always trending on social media not long ago..."

I don't know what they said on the other end, but the little girl grimaced and held the microphone an arm's length away.

She put down the phone and led Gu Huainan outside the monitoring room.

"The leaders have spoken to those inside. You wait here, and they will let you know as soon as they find out the exact time Ms. Liang left."

Having made up his mind, Gu Huainan quickly called Lu Yi.

Gu Huaibei and Fan Huijun walked slowly along the street, especially past coffee shops, beverage shops, and snack streets—places suitable for girls to relax and unwind…

Since the vehicle could not pass, the two got out of the car and walked, taking out photos as they went and asking passersby and shop owners for directions.

Finally, while taking a break at a coffee shop, a female employee curiously tilted her head and glanced at the photos.

Then she exclaimed, "Manager, look, doesn't this look like the girl who came here a few hours ago?"

The store manager looked indifferent, clearly not wanting to cause any trouble.

However, the shop assistant's loud shouting had already caught the attention of Fan Huijun and her companion.

"Has this girl been here before?"

"When, with whom, and at what time did you leave?"

Seeing that he couldn't deny it, the store manager had no choice but to tell them what had happened.

To distance himself from the situation, the store manager simply pulled up the surveillance footage from inside and outside the store.

Upon receiving such a definitive result, Fan Huijun immediately called Lu Yi.

At this time, Lu Yi was at Fengcheng University.

Gu Keke found her close friend, an elderly professor, and the group of people were in a hurry...

When Lin Xiaoya received Fan Huijun's call, she happened to see Lin Xiaoya and Liang Shiyue on a campus surveillance camera.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The reason is simple.

Everyone genuinely believed that Liang Shiyue would encounter virtually no danger when she was with other girls.

Besides, that person was Lin Xiaoya.

Although her identity changed too quickly and she acted flamboyantly and high-profile, making her somewhat looked down upon, it cannot be denied that she and Liang Shiyue were once good friends.

Lu Yi quickly called Liang's mother, "Auntie, don't worry, she's probably just with Lin Xiaoya to vent her frustrations."

"She's not answering the phone, most likely because her phone is out of battery."

"I'll contact Lin Xiaoya right now, pick her up first, then pick you up, and then we can all sit down and have a meal together."

Alone in the hotel, Liang's mother was completely distraught.

She had considered renting a car and going to find her daughter herself, but somehow, she became absent-minded.

"Good, good, it's good that she's alright. When you see her, please have her call me, okay?"

She is not a useless person.

She goes to work normally, keeps regular hours, and her life is almost no different from that of most middle-aged women.

But I always make mistakes from time to time.

Moreover, this has happened more than once or twice.

She secretly went to see a doctor and underwent a check-up, but no problems were found, so she didn't pay much attention to it.

After hanging up the phone, she sat on the bed, hugged her knees, and fell into deep thought.

...

Lin Xiaoya's phone was not turned off, but the person answering the call was not her.

"You're Lu Yi, right?"

"I'm sorry, Xiaoya can't answer the phone right now because she..."

Lin Hongtao stood in the hospital corridor, looking sadly at his daughter lying quietly on the bed in the ward.

He secretly regretted that he shouldn't have agreed to let her come out alone.

What's wrong with her?

A group of people were gathered around Lu Yi, discussing where to have dinner later, but they all fell silent when they heard Lu Yi's question.

She looked at him with a shifty gaze.

"Lu Yi, it's troublesome to talk about this over the phone. Why don't you come to Fengcheng Hospital? I'll have someone waiting for you at the entrance."

Lin Hongtao found this matter very strange.

But he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.

I wanted to call Lu Yi to ask him, but when I left the bidding meeting, Lu Yi was there.

Moreover, everyone who entered the venue put their mobile phones in lockers.

If his assistant hadn't come in and told him that Xiaoya was in trouble, he might be just as clueless as Lu Yi right now.

"Fengcheng Hospital?"

"What happened to Lin Xiaoya again?"

"What exactly happened during our meeting?"

"Fengcheng has never been peaceful, unlike Jiangzhou. Coco, you've seen it all. From today onwards, don't wander around!"

The trail ended with Lin Xiaoya.

Lu Yi looked at Liang's mother's number on his phone screen, hesitated for a long time, but still didn't dial it.

Fan Huijun understood.

"You guys go to the hospital, Coco and I will go to the hotel to stay with Liang's mother. Lu Yi, you all need to be extra careful, I have a bad feeling about this!"

Gu Huaibei thought to himself that he was just there for show at the hospital.

It would be better to go to a hotel to put Liang's mother at ease, so that nothing else might happen to her before things get resolved here.
