For the whole day, there was no further news about Lu Anning from either the police station or Lin Tao, and Tang Jingyuan did not sleep a wink.
The only connection between Ye Lingfei and Li Shun was the demolition. He had suspected Ye Lingfei of involvement, but he hadn't investigated further. Unexpectedly, she would be in contact with Li Shun. If that was the case, the other woman must be...
Lu Yunxi!
Tang Jingyuan couldn't guess anyone else except her.
"Lin Tao, check Ye Lingfei and Lu Yunxi's call records on the day An Ning disappeared, and see who they have been in contact with recently."
Lin Tao acted quickly, delivering the results to Tang Jingyuan in less than half an hour. On the day of her disappearance, Lu Yunxi had called Ye Lingfei, and that evening, Ye Lingfei had also contacted Lu Anning. Li Shun also happened to be at the bar.
The whole thing was basically clear, but what troubled Tang Jingyuan the most was that he didn't know their purpose yet. If they were just after money, they would have contacted him long ago.
If Ye Lingfei just wanted to deal with Li Shun, she wouldn't have to contact Lu An Ning at all. The Ye family is not short of money. They are simply targeting Lu An Ning.
Seeing that it was getting dark again, Tang Jingyuan could no longer sit still. Since he couldn't find it openly, he thought of other ways and could not just sit there and wait for death.
In the VIP ward of the hospital, Lu Yunxi was playing the role of a good wife and mother, feeding soup to Pei Chengyi who was recuperating from his injuries. When their love was at its peak, the door of the ward was kicked open, and Tang Jingyuan walked in with a cold face, full of hostility and unstoppable momentum.
Pei Chengyi lay on the hospital bed, alert from head to toe.
The shadow of being beaten in the last fight was still there, and his body subconsciously shrank.
"Uncle, why are you here?"
Tang Jingyuan walked straight towards her without saying a word, his sharp eyes falling on Lu Yunxi. Lu Yunxi smiled slightly and mustered up the courage to say hello, but before she could say anything, Tang Jingyuan grabbed her neck with one hand and lifted her up.
The soup bowl fell to the ground, and the sudden feeling of suffocation made Lu Yunxi panic.
"Where are the people? Tell me!"
Lu Yunxi struggled: "Uncle, I don't know what you are talking about."
Tang Jingyuan curled his lips and increased his strength. Lu Yunxi's face turned red and she struggled even harder.
"Now, do you understand?"
"I...I really...don't...know..."
Tang Jingyuan continued to exert force, and Lu Yunxi's face gradually turned pale and she began to roll her eyes.
Pei Chengyi sensed something was wrong and quickly stopped him: "Uncle, let's talk it over. If you don't let go, someone's going to get killed."
Lin Tao was also panicking. Tang Jingyuan was completely enveloped in a violent aura, his eyes dark, as if he had lost his mind. Seeing that Lu Yunxi was about to give up, Lin Tao hurriedly advised, "Third Master, she can't take it anymore."
Tang Jingyuan snorted coldly and threw the man onto the bed.
"I'll ask you one last time, where is An Ning?"
Lu Yunxi fell on the bed. It took her a while to catch her breath. She coughed violently and it took her a while to recover.
She looked up at the furious Tang Jingyuan and said fearfully, "I really don't know what you are talking about. Ever since Cheng Yi was injured, I've been running back and forth between the hospital and home every day. I really haven't seen my sister. If you don't believe me, you can ask Cheng Yi. The doctors and nurses in the hospital can all vouch for me."
Tang Jingyuan didn't believe it and stared at Lu Yunxi: "What about last night? The surveillance clearly captured you going to the suburban bar where An Ning disappeared, but you didn't leave. There are also call records between you and Ye Lingfei. Someone saw Li Shun appear with you. Do you think I would come here without evidence? You'd better tell the truth, otherwise, no one can protect you."
A trace of panic flashed in Lu Yunxi's eyes, and she mustered up her courage: "I went to see Li Shun. He asked me for money, but I didn't give it to him. Then I went to the hospital. I didn't see Lu Anning. I can't help it if you don't believe me. Otherwise, just strangle me to death."
Tang Jingyuan smiled: "I gave you a chance."
"There's no direct evidence proving that Lu Anning's disappearance is related to me. Even if my uncle suspects me, he can't do anything to me. We live in a society ruled by law now, and evidence is everything. It's not too late to come and accuse me once you find solid evidence. Maybe Lu Anning ran off with some other man?"
Pei Chengyi immediately grabbed Lu Yunxi and said, "Uncle, Yunxi is talking nonsense, don't take it to heart. However, she has been taking care of me, and the people in the hospital can testify to that."
"Very good!" Tang Jingyuan sneered and left. After finding the people, he had plenty of time to settle accounts with these people.
Lin Tao followed Tang Jingyuan all the way out of the hospital, not daring to go forward rashly. At this moment, Tang Jingyuan could explode at any moment, and anyone who went forward would be killed without a complete body.
The darkness made his stern face even gloomier. Looking at the passing cars, Tang Jingyuan felt powerless and punched the wall, scaring Lin Tao.
He stepped forward cautiously and asked, "Third Master, what should we do next?"
Tang Jingyuan suppressed his emotions, his expression darkening as he said, "Let's go to the black market!"
Lin Tao's heart sank. That place was a ruthless place, and this time, the Third Master was serious.
Not long after Tang Jingyuan left, the ward returned to silence. Pei Chengyi stared at Lu Yunxi as she bustled around, as if he wanted to see through her.
Lu Yunxi felt uncomfortable being stared at, and she gritted her teeth and handed the cut fruit to Pei Chengyi's mouth, but he was reluctant to move.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Pei Chengyi frowned: "Now there are only the two of us here, tell me the truth, what happened? Lu Anning disappeared, was it you who did it?"
