When they arrived in town, the sun had already set. The car stopped in front of the police station, where Lu Siyao was already waiting.
As soon as he got out of the car, Liu Xiaoyuan asked, "Siyao, what exactly happened?"
Because some things are hard to explain over the phone, Liu Xiaoyuan wanted to find out more about the situation.
Lu Siyao said, "I don't know the specifics. The people who kidnapped Yang Zihan this time were particularly arrogant. They handed the letter directly to me, and their phone number was left on it. I called it before, and after hearing my voice, they told me that if I called them again, they would make sure Yang Zihan had another knife scar on her face."
"I had no choice but to hang up the phone. I immediately reported the matter to the police station, but we had no leads. We were afraid that the people who kidnapped Yang Zihan would actually do what they said and disfigure her, so we didn't dare to make any calls."
"To this day, the case remains completely unsolved, with no progress whatsoever. Nobody knows how Yang Zihan was kidnapped, let alone who kidnapped her."
After listening to Lu Siyao's words, Liu Xiaoyuan said to Lu Siyao, "Siyao, let me see that note."
Lu Siyao said, "The note is in the station. I have a photo of it here. Take a look."
As she spoke, Lu Siyao took out the photo album on her phone and showed Liu Xiaoyuan the picture of the note.
Liu Xiaoyuan took Lu Siyao's phone and looked at it. The message on the note was very simple: Yang Zihan was in their hands, and if they wanted to get Yang Zihan out, Liu Xiaoyuan had to come in person. Then there was a phone number.
Liu Xiaoyuan immediately took out his phone and dialed the number left on the note.
The call was answered quickly, and a man's voice came from the other end, saying, "Hello, are you Liu Xiaoyuan?"
Liu Xiaoyuan was surprised that the other party guessed his identity so quickly. He said, "Yes, I am Liu Xiaoyuan. What do you want? If you have a problem, come at me. What kind of skill is it to make things difficult for a woman?"
"Haha..." The person on the other end of the phone chuckled and said, "Liu Xiaoyuan, don't worry, your woman is safe and sound. Come to the reservoir in your county right now, and you'll see her soon. Remember, don't bring the police; you can't fool us."
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Don't worry, I definitely won't bring the police. I'll be right there!"
After Liu Xiaoyuan finished speaking, he hung up the phone and said to Su Yu, "Give me the car keys."
Su Yu and Lu Siyao had heard the entire conversation clearly. Lu Siyao immediately said, "Xiao Yuan, I'll go with you."
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Siyao, since they are confident in giving you this letter, it proves that they are very capable. If you go with them, you definitely won't be able to hide it from them. So, for Zihan's safety, I'll go alone."
Now that Liu Xiaoyuan can summon cultivators at the late stage of Qi Refining, he doesn't take those who kidnapped Yang Zihan seriously at all.
These people who kidnapped Yang Zihan are definitely not cultivators. If they were, they might know that Yang Zihan is a person with pure spiritual roots, and people with pure spiritual roots are absolutely geniuses in cultivation, their cultivation speed is many times faster than that of ordinary people.
People with pure spiritual roots are one in ten thousand talents in the cultivation world. Obtaining such a talent is like finding a treasure. How could they still use Yang Zihan to threaten Liu Xiaoyuan? They would have already happily gone back to their sect to claim their reward.
Su Yu knew Liu Xiaoyuan's abilities and said to Lu Siyao, "Officer, just let Liu Xiaoyuan go alone. I know his capabilities, so you don't need to worry about your boyfriend."
“But…” Lu Siyao was still a little worried about Liu Xiaoyuan’s safety, after all, those who kidnapped Yang Zihan were no pushovers.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Siyao, you have to believe me. I'm confident I can handle those small fry. Okay, that's all for now, I'm leaving!"
Holding Su Yu's car keys, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately got into the car, started the engine, and drove towards the reservoir in the county town.
Liu Xiaoyuan had visited this reservoir before, camping there with his cousin Liu Xiaoqian. This time, back at the reservoir, Liu Xiaoyuan had no interest in appreciating the scenery.
Upon arriving at the reservoir's shore, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately made a phone call: "Hey, I've arrived. Where are you? Don't hide anymore."
The other party laughed and said, "Liu Xiaoyuan, not bad, very good. You came alone. We are on this side of the mountain. When you get here, you will naturally see us and your woman."
Liu Xiaoyuan hung up the phone and immediately ran in the direction the other party had indicated. When he arrived, he saw a figure ahead and quickened his pace to walk over.
Upon arriving, Liu Xiaoyuan discovered that there were six people on the other side. Yang Zihan was tied up with ropes and had something stuffed in her mouth.
Liu Xiaoyuan stood in front of the six men and said, "I'm here. Shouldn't you release my woman now?"
Upon seeing Liu Xiaoyuan, the leader, a man in his forties, took two steps forward, clapped his hands, and said, "Liu Xiaoyuan, I really admire your courage to come alone. Not bad, not bad."
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Stop with the nonsense, okay? Just release my woman!"
Liu Xiaoyuan glanced at the six people present. There were three experts at the second level of the Innate Realm and three experts at the third level of the Innate Realm. It seemed that these people were not ordinary.
"Release that woman!" the leader said to the men behind him.
Then, those people untied the ropes binding Yang Zihan and removed the object stuffed into her mouth.
Although Yang Zihan possessed a pure spiritual root, she was just an ordinary person who had not yet begun cultivation. Therefore, in the pitch-black night, she could not see where Liu Xiaoyuan was standing, but could only hear his voice.
"Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yuan, where are you?" Yang Zihan asked.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Zihan, I'm here." With that, Liu Xiaoyuan walked towards Yang Zihan.
Upon hearing the sound, Yang Zihan walked over to Liu Xiaoyuan, and soon the two embraced tightly.
"Zihan, are you alright?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked with concern, even though he knew Yang Zihan was fine, he couldn't help but ask.
Yang Zihan sobbed, "I'm fine, Xiaoyuan, why were you so foolish? It's dangerous here, don't come, Xiaoyuan..."
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "For you, even if there are mountains of knives and seas of fire ahead, I will go."
"Xiao Yuan, how could you be so silly!" Upon hearing this, Yang Zihan buried her head in Liu Xiaoyuan's chest, deeply moved.
