“Tick-tock…”
The handsome man raised his eyelids tiredly. His face was pale, his lips were cracked and peeling, and an IV tube was inserted into one of his hands, with bright red blood flowing out drop by drop.
"Master, are you here to pick me up?"
In a trance, the man seemed to see his deceased master walking towards him with a smile.
The man smiled and fell into unconsciousness again.
"Just let it flow like this?" The woman walked out of the bright red pool of blood, with a strange light all over her body. She caught the blood flowing out of the man's body with her hands, her eyes full of regret.
Behind the woman, a magnetic voice replied, "He already knows our secret. We can't let him stay."
"What a pity to waste such good blood." The woman smiled gently and walked out of the pool of blood.
The man smiled indulgently, "It's okay, there's plenty of blood. I have something to do, so I'll be out for a bit."
The woman, perhaps having just recovered, was a little reluctant and pulled the man's arm: "What is more important than me that requires you to go in person?"
"There's an undercover agent who needs to be dealt with." The man replied coldly.
The woman let go of her hand and said, "Okay, then you can go early and come back early."
An hour later, Xiao Ran, who had fallen asleep in a hospital bed, suddenly woke up. Seeing the man in a suit standing in front of the bed, he suddenly regained consciousness, his eyes widened, and he muttered unconsciously: "Master..."
The man smiled coldly and waved his hand. A black mist enveloped Xiao Ran. After a while, Xiao Ran's hand, which was about to grab the gun, fell down weakly.
The man gently pushed Xiao Ran, and Xiao Ran fell limply on the bed. After covering him with the quilt, the man said softly, "You want to be an undercover agent here? You're overestimating yourself!"
“Crunch…”
The door opened and the man walked out.
For some reason, the surveillance camera in the corridor did not respond at all. It only resumed operation after the man walked out of the hospital.
As soon as the man left, the monk came out of the bathroom, wiped the water stains on his hands, and walked towards the ward.
After a while, a cry of alarm came from the ward: "Doctor, doctor! Come quickly! He's not breathing!"
…
After seeing Zhou Huaqing off, Xu Yi and Lin Hong called the police. Just then, a team of police came to deal with Hao Wang's case. The two groups of police met each other, said hello, and then went about their business.
The police officer who came with Xu Yi and Lin Hong explained the situation, "My friend's name is Zheng Yibai. He went out this afternoon and hasn't come back since...blah blah blah, my phone is disconnected. He wouldn't be like this before. This is his senior brother."
Lin Hong continued, "Hello, my junior brother is a Taoist priest with some skills, and he doesn't have any enemies. This is the first time he's lost contact like this. I have a feeling he's in danger, so I'm sorry to bother you."
The police officer carefully wrote down the dispatch log. After they finished speaking, he asked, "How old is your friend? You say he's been missing. How long has it been?"
Lin Hong looked at his watch and replied: "Almost 12 hours. His name is Zheng Yibai, male, 20 years old, skilled in martial arts, carrying a black sword on his back, height..."
"A 20-year-old boy is missing?" The police looked at Lin Hong and Xu Yi with a serious expression, feeling somewhat helpless.
"Have you asked his teachers and classmates? Maybe his phone is out of battery, so we can't contact him? It's less than 12 hours now, you can look for him first, ask relatives, friends, classmates, etc. He's probably out playing."
Xu Yi was a little anxious. "Officer, can you help us? We are all Taoist priests. We have tried many ways to find him before calling the police, but there is no news, so..."
The police explained: "It's not that we don't want to help, it's that we can't file a case since he's been missing for less than 12 hours. The law stipulates that if an adult is missing for more than 24 hours, immediate family members can report him to the police, and if he's missing for more than 48 hours, a case can be filed."
Seeing the police in a dilemma, Lin Hong suppressed his worry and shook his head at Xu Yi: "Okay, then we'll look for it again. It's troublesome."
The policeman was also in a dilemma. He wanted to help, but that was the rule. It was night time and there were not enough people on duty at the station.
"Okay then. If you need anything later, you can come to us directly. We'll be leaving first."
Xu Yi and Lin Hong watched helplessly as the police drove away.
"It seems we have to think of a solution ourselves first. Senior Brother Lin Hong, why don't you go to his dormitory first? Maybe he has already returned to the dormitory and his phone is turned off, so we can't contact him. I'll go to my rental house to see if he is there." Xu Yi suggested.
Lin Hong nodded, "Okay, let's contact each other by phone."
When Xu Yi hurried to the rental house, Dazhuang and Xiaojin walked up to her yawning.
Xiao Jin asked, "Sister Daoist, why are you here at this hour? Aren't you going to sleep?"
"Xiao Jin, has Zheng Yibai been here?" Xu Yi asked hurriedly.
"No, it's just Dazhuang and I here. Brother Yibai hasn't come to see us for several days. What happened to Brother Yibai?" Xiao Jin was a little confused.
Da Zhuang also raised his head and looked at Xu Yi.
Xu Yi sighed: "Zheng Yibai is missing. I thought he would come here. It's okay. You guys go to sleep. I'll go look for him again."
When she came to this world, she was a little scared for the first time, afraid that the scene of Zheng Yibai she saw was real.
Zheng Yibai, this somewhat reckless, somewhat shameless, and very unlucky younger brother, they have experienced a lot together, and she has unknowingly regarded Zheng Yibai as her own brother.
Lin Hong's call interrupted Xu Yi's thoughts: "Hello, Xu Yi, is Zheng Yibai in the house you rented? He's not in the dormitory. His roommate said he went out this morning and hasn't come back yet."
A bad premonition spread in Xu Yi's heart, "He's not here with me, Brother Lin Hong, come over here, let's think of a solution."
Lin Hong nodded, hung up the phone, walked out of the dormitory building, and ran out of the school.
Thinking back on it, Zheng Yibai has been acting mysterious these past few days. He couldn't be found at the dinner party, and he even said that when he comes back, we'll know the truth. What truth?
Zheng Yibai's biggest concern now was who had killed his master. Senior Cheng had been murdered while investigating the master's case. Did Xiaobai know who the master was? Or perhaps he had some clues that prompted him to investigate?
Xiaobai has always been suspicious of Boss Lu and hostile to him. He also said that there was something strange in his basement. Could it be that he went to Boss Lu's villa again?
Zheng Yibai is a stubborn person, so it is probably possible.
Xu Yi was just thinking when there was a knock on the door.
As soon as it was opened, Lin Hong stood at the door, sweating profusely, and said anxiously: "Xiao Bai is not in the dormitory, nor is he here. Where do you think he went?"
Letting Lin Hong in, Xu Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "I thought of a place, but it might not be here. How about we go check it out?"
Lin Hong was about to go out again, "Okay, let's go look for him. We should go to every possible place! I still don't believe that such a big man could disappear out of thin air!"
