Chapter 139 Where exactly was the person taken?
Let's go back to forty minutes ago.
On his way back to his room, He Jinzhao received a phone call from his cousin, He Yanchen.
He was somewhat surprised. He slid his fingertip to his ear and asked as he walked, "Still not asleep at this hour? Looks like lawyers are really busy."
"Get lost! You talk like you're asleep. What? Are you busy too?"
"Oh right, I forgot, today is my sister-in-law's birthday. You really should be busy."
He Jinzhao: "..."
"...You called just to tell me this?"
Hearing his tone, He Yanchen raised an eyebrow. "He must have something on his mind."
Although he is a lawyer, he also has some knowledge of psychology.
Back when Bian Xu came to Shanghai to ask him for help, he was troubled by a romantic relationship, and it was he who mediated the situation.
Could it be that the young couple had a fight?
"What's wrong? You don't sound very enthusiastic. Did you have a fight?"
He Jinzhao pinched the bridge of his nose. "No, it's just that there's something I can't figure out."
"What's wrong? Tell me, and I'll give you some pointers."
He Jinzhao thought for a moment. He Yanchen was older than him and should know more than him. Maybe he would gain something new.
So he told him what had happened that night and asked him what he thought.
There was silence for a minute or two; they were probably thinking.
He Jinzhao didn't disturb him. He had already returned to his room, sat on the edge of the bed, and waited for a reply from the other side.
"Hmm...you've come to the right person about this."
He Jinzhao's expression hardened: "What do you mean?"
Have you ever heard of the black market?
"black market?"
He Jinchao frowned; he had indeed never heard of it.
After all, they had just returned from abroad.
"Simply put, it's a trading market where you can find everything, from things you can't imagine to things you can't, as well as some amazing gadgets. As long as you have money, you can buy anything."
"If you can't find what you want, you can also have it custom-made, but the price will be several times higher."
He Jinzhao was somewhat surprised; there was actually such a place?
He Yanchen also found out by chance, during one of his cases.
In places like this, even the police might not be able to manage, let alone a lawyer.
"So you mean there was something in the orange juice she drank, but it just couldn't be detected?"
"pretty close."
"Okay, I understand."
"Then you go ahead with your work, I need to get my beauty sleep."
He Jinzhao: "..."
After the call ended, he belatedly realized what the person had wanted from him.
Immediately, his expression turned serious. Thanks to his cousin, things were indeed not that simple.
In that case, the mastermind behind it all is very likely Shen Yanci.
His purpose in doing this...
It's Song Shiyi!
He immediately swiped the screen, wanting to contact her and confirm her safety.
When his gaze fell on the screen, his eyes narrowed and his expression darkened.
He saw the message that Song Shiyi had sent him.
I was on the phone with He Yanchen the whole time, so I didn't notice.
Then, less than a few minutes later, he received another location sharing from the other party.
The location is on this floor.
All signs indicate that Song Shiyi may have run into trouble.
He immediately dialed her number, but no one answered.
He slammed his fist on the table, unable to hold back a curse: "Damn it!"
The message was sent ten minutes ago, and now the phone is unreachable, which means that the person has most likely been taken away by Shen Yanci.
In a conscious state, Song Shiyi would never obediently go with him.
If she makes a sound for help, someone will definitely hear her and find her.
If Shen Yanci was the mastermind, then he must have also bought other things on the black market.
For example, sleeping pills.
He closed his eyes, forcing himself to calm down.
He couldn't panic. The cruise ship had twelve decks in total. Excluding the two decks for the main boarding deck and the three decks for entertainment facilities, there were only five decks for the cabins and the suites at the very top.
After having a general idea in mind, he immediately called Xie Lin and asked him to notify everyone to help him find the person, and to do so quickly!
Upon hearing this, Xie Lin realized the seriousness of the situation and abandoned his usual lazy demeanor, immediately sending out the notifications one by one.
He Jinzhao has already taken action; he went to the top floor, which is also the place he believes Shen Yanci is most likely to go.
However, as he walked, his expression grew increasingly grim.
No.
No.
Still no.
Where exactly did Shen Yanci take them?!
When Song Shiyi's friends learned that she had disappeared and that something bad might have happened to her, they were both shocked and worried.
Especially Si Yue, tears immediately welled up in her eyes, and she cried and cursed, "Chen Yanci, you better not get caught by me, or I'll smash your style to pieces!"
Xie Lin silently comforted her, "It's okay, we found him early, he must still be here."
Ji Siyu never expected that Shen Yanci would go to such an extreme.
They're capable of kidnapping.
Song's mother almost fainted.
Mr. Song looked at the Shen couple, who were on friendly terms with him, with a grim expression, and declared, "If anything happens to my Yi Yi, I will make sure your son rots in jail!"
The Shen couple had just returned from Ren Xiangxue's place and hadn't even finished processing the news of the miscarriage when they were told that Shen Yanci had kidnapped Song Shiyi.
Even the mother was about to faint.
She never imagined that her son, whom she had always been so proud of, would do such a rebellious thing!
This is utterly disgraceful to the family!
Shen's father was speechless. If he had known that Shen Yanci was determined to never change his mind, he shouldn't have let him go.
But what's done is done, and there's no point in saying anything now. The most urgent thing is to find the person immediately!
Lu Tianyun looked at the elders, especially the two aunts who were frightened.
He suggested, "Uncle and Aunt, it's chilly at night, you should go back and rest. We'll be fine here, we'll definitely find Song Shiyi."
"Please rest assured."
Mr. Song knew that he couldn't be of much help here, and might even cause more trouble because of his anxiety.
In addition, Song's mother is currently too frightened and needs to go back to rest.
He bowed deeply to the younger generation, saying, "I entrust this to you all."
The remaining people had clear divisions of labor, and searching the fifth floor was not an easy task.
The cruise ship is very large with many rooms, making it difficult to find any one.
Fortunately, the guests had already been evacuated in advance, otherwise it would have been a waste of even more time.
Fifteen minutes later, everyone reported the situation.
"The fourth floor isn't there!"
"Not on the fifth floor!"
"The sixth and seventh floors too!"
Qi Feng was part of the group responsible for the third floor. He held a cell phone in his hand and looked serious: "The entire third floor has been checked, but we didn't find anyone. However, I found a cell phone in the trash can."
He handed the phone to Si Yue: "Take a look and see if it's Song Shiyi's."
Si Yue took it and nodded quickly.
"Yes, that's right, it's Yi Yi's."
She gripped her phone tightly, certain: "It must have been that idiot Shen Yanci who lost it!"
