"What nonsense are you talking about? We just got back." A bodyguard frowned and stepped forward to stop his nonsense. Their master had only just woken up, and they hadn't even had time to go to the toilet in their rush back.
He came back seven days ago? That's absurd.
Could it be that our master has the ability to create clones of himself?
The guard was inwardly agonizing; this was a true story. He dared not meet the young master's gaze as he devoured the people, his throat feeling like it was stuffed with cotton. He swallowed hard, continuing, "Ten minutes ago, the young master drove off, saying he was going to find the madam..."
He didn't say anything more... but everyone knew what the situation was, and Fu Huaijin, being the real Fu Huaijin, understood even better what kind of person had just gone out.
Fu Huaijin felt a chill run down his spine, his hands went limp, and his head spun. He bit his tongue hard to keep his mind clear, reminding himself not to faint and to keep looking for someone.
He clutched his aching heart, panting heavily, and ordered in a hoarse voice, "Go and bring that man back."
"Mobilize all available manpower to bring Xixi back."
Fu Huaijin did not believe that Su Yuxi was dead; she must be hiding somewhere. He touched the jade pendant around his neck and firmly believed everything he had seen when he first woke up.
"Nothing will happen."
"Xiao Jin, you haven't recovered yet, rest first. I'll handle this." Chu Juan also knew the seriousness of the matter. If this was not handled properly, it could lead to a major disaster, as the person in the disguise was someone even his own people couldn't distinguish.
"Don't you understand?" Fu Huaijin's gaze was like a knife, and he glared at him fiercely. Seven days ago, not seven hours ago, the person had already been in trouble, and they were completely unaware. It was utterly ridiculous.
Everyone remained silent, their stance naturally prioritizing their master.
"Get out of here, all of you."
Fu Huaijin was still furious. He shoved Chu Juan aside, turned around, got into the car, and kicked the driver's seat: "Go to the place where the car plunged off the cliff."
The driver looked embarrassed: "Young master, I just came back with you."
Then someone climbed into the passenger seat: "I'll give you directions."
Knowing he couldn't dissuade them, Chu Juan watched the departing car and assigned some people to follow it, instructing them to report any developments immediately.
Half an hour later, Fu Huaijin stood silently at the edge of the cliff, watching the waves crashing against it. There wasn't much to see; the traces of the car crash had been washed away by the sea, disappearing without a trace.
He slowly closed his eyes, listening to the bodyguard recount the events of that day. The scene involuntarily replayed in his mind: a car speeding at full throttle just to escape the pursuit behind. The person who was supposed to stay behind to protect her never expected to become her death warrant.
No... He didn't believe that Xi Xi would be foolish enough to rush off the cliff herself. It must be a smokescreen created to mislead the enemy.
So what would she do if she were traveling at extremely high speeds?
The best chance of survival is to jump out of the car the moment it hits you and quickly dodge to avoid being seen.
She would definitely have run to the other side then.
But the other side of the mountain is towering and majestic. How did she manage to climb it in such a short time?
Fu Huaijin turned around and walked to the cliff. The gaps between the jump points were quite large, so jumping up was not impossible for her.
It definitely can.
"Have you searched all the surrounding mountains?"
The bodyguard glanced at it and said, "They've all been searched."
"Young Master, actually, the place where Madam last disappeared was not here."
"On the second night after the lady disappeared, we found that she had appeared in the black market. There were no surveillance cameras there. When the police went there, they said they saw someone who looked like the lady."
"After further verification, there is an 80% chance that it is the lady."
"The person who took her away was a middleman who works in the black market. As for where she went, we haven't found out yet," the bodyguard answered cautiously, afraid of missing any information.
Fu Huaijin withdrew his gaze, his cold, icy eyes lingering on the bodyguard for more than ten seconds before he said, "Take me there."
The car immediately turned onto the slum, where the environment was filthy, the streets were narrow and chaotic, and the people were a mixed bunch. Anyone with a choice would not live here.
The bodyguard led Fu Huaijin to Zhong Yan's residence. The house was in a mess, the floor was dirty and covered with shoe prints, indicating that many people had been there and many things had been thrown around.
Fu Huaijin frowned as he wandered through the cramped house, his gaze sweeping over every corner, trying to find any trace of Su Yuxi's existence. After searching every place, he only caught a faint scent, too faint to be sure if it was hers.
Finally, Fu Huaijin went to the restroom. There was nothing to see there; it was all visible at a glance. He only glanced at it once, his eyes filled with disappointment. Just as he turned around, his peripheral vision caught sight of the laundry basket in the corner.
There was a dirty dress lying on the ground. He didn't mind the dirt, bent down to pick it up, and sniffed it. The disappointment in his eyes instantly disappeared. It was...it was Xixi's scent.
She did come here.
The incident of falling off the cliff was fake, just a false alarm. A huge weight was lifted off his shoulders, and he felt much lighter.
He knew this girl was very determined and wouldn't easily get into trouble: "Xixi, wait for me obediently. No matter where you are, I will find you."
Fu Huaijin then took the skirt and continued searching in the next location.
Su Yuxi's usual method of hiding is to hide in the jungle, making it both difficult and easy to find her.
At least he had a direction to search for the person, so he immediately mobilized his men to search in various mountains and forests.
About three hours later, someone reported that a motorcycle had been found in a ditch by the roadside. It happened to be registered under Zhong Yan's name, the same man who had brought Su Yuxi with him.
Fu Huaijin rushed over immediately.
The vegetation covering the motorcycle's surface had dried up, and with a careful look, its true form could be seen. Therefore, this was the place where Su Yuxi finally disappeared.
He looked around, his gaze settling on a winding path. Without the slightest hesitation, he led the people behind him and resolutely stepped onto that path leading to the unknown.
They walked in for nearly an hour. The bodyguards accompanying them keenly sensed the hidden danger in the woods, but since their master remained silent, they didn't say anything.
Another deep tiger roar reached their ears, and the bodyguard involuntarily became more alert, a sense of tension and unease creeping in: "Young Master, there are many ferocious beasts if we go any further in. Madam probably won't go any further."
Fu Huaijin clenched his fists slightly, his gaze fixed intently on the distance. Only when he could not find the figure at the limit of his vision did he reluctantly turn his gaze away.
This is indeed very slow.
"Has the helicopter arrived yet?"
"We're already here."
