"Exactly, it's super annoying!" Qiao Jin almost jumped up.
Bo Shiwu watched as the kittens meowed, seemingly communicating with each other.
He couldn't help but find it kind of cute.
but……
Bo Shiwu's gaze returned to the direction Qiao He had left, feeling that something was off.
What exactly is this place?
Bo Shiwu was confused, but she couldn't explain what was going on.
Because Qiao He is indeed Qiao He, even her scent is exactly the same, without any change.
If the scent changes, the kittens will definitely be the first to notice.
So Bo Shiwu kept her confusion to herself and took the seven kittens back to her room.
Then, I slept without any dreams.
Bo Shiwu barely slept; he had been constantly cultivating his supernatural abilities.
As dawn broke, as if guided by some unseen force, Bo Shiwu arrived outside Qiao He's bedroom.
He was silent for a moment, then knocked on the door.
"Qiao He? Is she awake?" Bo Shiwu asked in a hoarse voice.
It was very quiet inside; there wasn't a sound.
Bo Shiwu frowned, and called out again, "Qiao He?"
There has still been no response.
Bo Shiwu's heart suddenly pounded; his intuition told him that there was no one inside.
But he still held a sliver of hope, thinking that Qiao He was probably just sleeping too soundly, but!
But why is there not even a sound of breathing?!
Even if a villa has excellent soundproofing, it's impossible to be completely silent.
After becoming a superhuman, Bo Shiwu's hearing improved significantly, and he should have been able to hear breathing inside through a door.
A second later, Bo Shiwu decisively turned the doorknob!
It's locked from the inside; I can't open it.
"Qiao He!?" Bo Shiwu called out again.
There was no response.
Bo Shiwu said in a low voice, "I'm going in."
"If you're inside, just answer me."
Unfortunately, there was still no sound.
Bo Shiwu's face instantly turned ugly, and he kicked the door open!
The door was teetering on the edge. As Bo Shiwu rushed in, it crashed to the ground, startling the kittens and Lin Qiao awake.
The bedroom is empty.
Bo Shiwu stood there, stunned. He suddenly felt a pang of panic and searched everywhere for Qiao He's figure.
But no!
There was nothing, not even in the bed, under the bed, in the wardrobe, or in the bathroom.
I searched everywhere I could see, even the thin fog.
Qiao He was nowhere to be seen.
Bo Shiwu only saw a painting on the big bed. It was a full-body self-portrait of Qiao He, exactly the same as yesterday, including her clothes.
Bo Shiwu narrowed his amber eyes slightly as he ran out of the bedroom with the painting in his hand, bumping right into Lin Qiao's kittens.
Lin Qiao asked anxiously, "What's wrong? Xiao Bo, what's wrong?"
Bo Shiwu said in a deep voice, "Qiao He is missing."
Lin Qiao's eyes widened in shock as she exclaimed, "What?! How could they disappear? What happened?! Ah He, that child..."
The kittens were also in a panic. They frantically searched the bedroom, but there was no sign of Qiao He, and even her scent had disappeared.
The kittens meowed anxiously.
Bo Shiwu went downstairs to look for Qiao He, but after searching the entire villa, he couldn't find any trace of her.
Bo Shiwu recalled the hurtful words Qiao He had suddenly said the night before, as if she had become a completely different person.
Normally, Qiao He would never say such things.
If she only said it to him, Bo Shiwu would think that Qiao He just wanted to get rid of him and stop him from staying there to eat and drink her food.
But……
Last night, Qiao He said this to everyone, including the seven kittens!
Qiao He dotes on the kittens like precious treasures, so why would she suddenly abandon them?
They even said not to get close to her...
etc!
A cold glint flashed in Bo Shiwu's eyes. He squatted down and said to the kittens, "Who among you has the most sensitive sense of smell?"
The seven kittens looked at each other, and Qiao Li stepped forward with a look that said, "I'm the most perceptive little thing."
Bo Shiwu scooped Qiao Li up in one swift motion. Qiao Li was startled and instinctively tried to struggle, but then she heard Bo Shiwu whisper, "Quickly smell the scent Qiao He left behind! Where is it strongest?"
Qiao Li immediately stopped struggling. He sniffed the lingering scent in the air. Besides the faint smell in the bedroom, there was the storage room.
So Qiao Li gestured to Bo Shiwu to quickly go and take a look at the storage room.
Everyone followed Qiao Li downstairs. Qiao Li sniffed around the storage room, eventually picking at a drawer.
Bo Shiwu hurriedly stepped forward and opened it, then found a blood jade pendant and a folded piece of white paper.
There seems to be something written on it.
Bo Shiwu hurriedly took out the paper and unfolded it, then saw Qiao He's suicide note...
"My dear children, by the time you read this letter, I may already be gone. I'm sorry to leave in this way, without even a proper goodbye. I contracted the plague that very night... You don't need to come looking for me, because I know that this disease means certain death, and it's contagious. Please, I beg you, don't come looking for me."
"And also, Tuoyou... no, Bo Shiwu. See the Blood Jade? That's what I gave you and Grandma. There's a space inside the Blood Jade, containing a lot of supplies. There's also a lot of protective gear inside. The epidemic is bound to break out. Take these and hide, and take the kittens with you... Bo Shiwu, I know you're very capable and a very responsible man. I, Qiao He, am begging you, if you take these supplies, you must protect the kittens and Grandma..."
