The teahouse, which should have been bustling with people, was now extremely empty. There were a few cups of steaming tea on the table, some odds and ends placed in a mess, and an overturned vase nearby, with a few roses lying alone on the ground.

It was obvious that they left in a hurry and didn't have time to put anything away.

A few people walked through several ordinary tea rooms in front and found a hidden door at the back, behind which was a small secret passage.

Passing through the secret passage, a more luxurious and enchanting place appeared before them.

"Whips, candles, clamps......."

Lin Mo stared blankly at the things on the cart. Having never seen such an exciting scene before, his ears turned red instantly.

"What is this?"

Bai Yu curiously picked up a white silicone stick with many bumps on the surface. He measured it and found that it was about 20 cm long and 5 cm in diameter.

He pressed the switch at the bottom, and the thing actually began to spin, emitting colorful light.

Bai Yu suddenly realized.

...

...

"I see. This is the cheering stick that fans used when they went to celebrity concerts. I saw it in the concert video. Many people were waving it in the audience."

Bai Yu stretched out his hand and waved it several times, imitating the video he had seen.

With a "whoosh", the cheering stick in his hand was snatched away by a hand.

"Captain Chu, it turns out you are also interested in this thing."

Bai Yu turned his head and looked at Chu Zehuai. It was not like he would not give it to the other party if he wanted it, so why did he suddenly snatch it away?

"no....."

"Did you find anything?"

Yan Ran, who had sent Ji Yue to the hospital, came back and followed the route the others took. She happened to see her team leader holding something that could create mosaics, facing the new member of their team who had just been promoted to a regular member.

The indescribable thing facing Bai Yu was still swaying from side to side, emitting an extremely dazzling colorful light.

Chu Zehuai threw the thing in his hand into a corner where no one else could see it with an expressionless face:

"They all ran away, and no one was caught, but it's not a complete failure. Go call the Anti-pornography and Anti-illegal Publications Office and ask about the situation at the hospital."

The first sentence was said to Bai Yu, and the second sentence was said by Yan Ran.

"OK."

Bai Yu nodded, and Yan Ran quickly dialed the hospital's number.

"What? That pregnant lady boss disappeared out of thin air?!"

Hecai District, Qinghe City

An abandoned warehouse in the suburbs

"Fortunately, all the key things were moved out at the last minute."

A blond boy of about five or six years old took out a palm-sized object that resembled a meteorite. Under the mysterious fluctuations of space, all the guests, waiters and the spores they collected lay quietly inside.

"It's worth it for me to play such a big role. I really feel like my life is walking on a tightrope."

Ji Yue relit a cigarette, and in the swirling smoke, her beautiful eyes narrowed comfortably.

When she saw a group of people from the Investigation Bureau coming over, she immediately asked Sunflower to pack up and gather people, and used the organization's space props to run away, while she delayed time outside.

Fortunately, everything went well, which was the best situation she could have imagined.

If that man found out, both of them and the spores would die on the spot in Qinghe City.

"It's a pity that the base can't be used anymore. There are many treasures in it."

Ji Yue flicked the ash off his cigarette and looked at his accomplice.

"Xiang Yang, are you sure you didn't leave anything related to the organization in there?"

"Don't worry, I checked many times and I'm sure there are no traces left. Those people will think we are just an underground club."

Xiang Yang shrugged and then sighed.

"It would be great if the boss was here. With his ability, he might be able to run away with the entire base..."

"Okay, forget about White Rose. Let's think about how to explain this to the envoy first."

"Tsk, just a greedy and arrogant human being... Hey, why did you hit me?"

"I'm going to contact him now. Remember your current identity."

"Got it, Mom."

Chunfeng Teahouse was thoroughly investigated.

Chu Zehuai rejected the requests of several others who wanted to help collect physical evidence props in the house. Before the staff from the Anti-Pornography and Anti-Illegal Publications Office arrived, he locked everyone out of the door, leaving only him and Yanran inside.

"You are too young to be exposed to such unhealthy things."

These are Chu Zehuai’s original words.

"I'm already in my twenties, but my brother still treats me like a child."

Lin Mo sat depressed on the steps at the door, planning to go back and download several terabytes of learning video materials to give his brother a little shock from a younger brother.

"I don't know what Captain Chu is guarding against. I have read no less than a hundred novels of this type."

Yuan Xue also sat on the steps and shared the popsicles in her hand with two colleagues.

Bai Yu watched the two of them talking in confusion, having no idea what these humans were thinking.

The reproduction methods of plants and humans are completely different. There is no related information in the memory fragments left by the original owner. The videos and texts he studied were all very serious and healthy content that could be found directly on the Internet, so the innocent little plants were still in a confused state.

But it doesn't matter.

Bai Yu silently took out his mobile phone, opened the album, and more than twenty photos popped out.

He took all the photos secretly when Chu Zehuai wasn't paying attention.

"If you only look at the photos, it shouldn't be considered contact."

Bai Yu sat between the two of them and motioned for them to look over.

“I still don’t know what these are used for.”

Yuan Xue touched her chin, and her tone was full of confidence as she was talking about her own field: "This, I know, I know, this one is clamped... that one is tied... and the last one is inserted..."

Bai Yu's eyes slowly widened.

Is it true that humans play so many tricks on each other?

"Sister Yuan, how do you know so much?" Lin Mo was also surprised, and his ears, which had finally faded, began to turn red again.

"I haven't eaten pork, but have I seen a pig run? Hey, the anti-pornography and anti-illegal publication department is here, hurry up, put your phone away, don't let Captain Chu see it."

The three of them pretended nothing had happened. They chatted about their meaningless daily life while watching the staff seize all the evidence and take it back.

In addition to the various props you've seen before, there are also some tapes locked in a safe.

Thinking that there might be important information in it, Chu Zehuai asked someone to make a copy and bring it back to the monitoring room in the bureau.

Because the video involved the missing Huang Rui, he thought about it and decided to let those people watch the video related to Huang Rui.

But that’s all.

Then everyone saw scenes that opened their eyes.

"I suspect they tampered with the surveillance cameras inside and outside the store and nearby. For those missing people, Lin Mo and I reviewed almost all the surveillance cameras in Qinghe City, but we didn't find any clues. I didn't expect them to have been under my nose for so many days."

There was a hint of annoyance in Yuan Xue's tone. This was simply a provocation to her computer skills.

"At least the missing person has been found. Compared to a corpse as we had assumed, she is now a living person. This is good news, don't you think?"

Yanran patted Yuan Xue's shoulder and turned to look at Lin Mo.

Lin Mo didn't say anything, but just leaned back in his chair, staring at the ceiling with lifeless eyes, as if something was broken.

The flickering light on the screen illuminated his face.

On the screen, Huang Rui was wearing a mask that only covered the upper half of her face, red high heels, a tight-fitting suit, and holding a dark green whip in her hand.

Opposite her, a man without any clothing on his body was kneeling on the ground.

Huang Rui hit him with a whip and laughed happily, and the man cried out in pain and pleasure.

"Yell. Loud. And. Bell——"

"Yes, Master."

Even through the screen, you can feel the girl's excitement and joy.

Was she doing it voluntarily or was she forced? What happened in the few days from her disappearance to now?

Everyone was in a mess, and Chu Zehuai and Bai Yu thought more than others.

Chu Zehuai clasped his arms and looked at Huang Rui's face, observing her appearance carefully, trying to find out what charm this girl had that could make his younger brother and his new team member become rivals in love.

Bai Yu focused on the whip in Huang Rui's hand.

Perhaps other people couldn't see it, but having been with Rose for so long and being a vine himself, he instantly recognized the true identity of the whip.

This is the rose's own vine.

It seems that Rose seems to value Huang Rui very much, and she even made a part of her body into a whip and gave it to her.

Huang Rui’s life should not be in danger in the short term.

As Bai Yu was thinking this, he saw out of the corner of his eye that Chu Zehuai was staring at the screen intently, watching it very seriously.

The screen just happened to play the scene of Huang Rui whipping a man again.

He looked down at his fingers, and his knuckles turned into emerald green vines, swaying from side to side as he watched.

If you look closely, apart from the leaves on top, it is actually 80% similar to the whip in the video.

Bai Yu fell into deep thought.

So Chu Zehuai likes this?
