Inside the upscale beauty salon, Qi Yuexi looked anxious, gripping the employee's shoulder with one hand and pointing to other rooms with the other, "Has Yu Yao not come in the last few days? Are you sure she hasn't?"
The clerk nodded again. "Mrs. Yu, Miss Yu really didn't come. She's not here. There weren't many people in the store this morning. You already led people in and searched the place thoroughly, even the restrooms."
A few scattered customers, watching the commotion, remarked, "Yeah, who are you looking for? Why are you making such a racket? If the person is missing, go call the police! What are you doing, grabbing at the shop assistant?"
She had something to do in the afternoon, so she came in for a beauty treatment in the morning. She had just lain down when this person barged in with his bodyguards.
No one would be happy in that situation.
The Yu family were super VIP members, and although the shop assistants were unhappy, they dared not show it on their faces.
He tentatively asked, "Mrs. Yu, would you like me to call the police for you?"
Upon hearing that the police had been called, Qi Yuexi shook her head repeatedly.
Don't call the police, in case it's true.
Once the police are notified, the fact that Yu Yao was assaulted will no longer be able to be kept secret.
Even if Yu Yao is found and brought back, she won't be able to establish herself in the elite circles.
A series of hurried footsteps sounded, and Yu Ze rushed over, grabbed Qi Yuexi's arm, and led her out of the beauty salon.
As soon as they stepped out of the store, Qi Yuexi burst into tears. "Xiao Ze, your sister is missing. I've searched all the places she frequents, but I can't find her anywhere."
Yu Ze didn't say a word, helped Qi Yuexi into the car, and instructed the driver, "Go home first."
"I can't go home, I still need to go find your sister." Qi Yuexi immediately objected upon hearing that they should go home.
"Sister, she might really have been taken away by the sixth brother."
Qi Yuexi grabbed his hand. "Why are you so sure? Have you seen your sister?"
Yu Ze pursed his lips and answered after a few seconds, "The night before last, my sister sent me a message saying that she was going to give Jian Yu to Lao Liu and have him take her to Southeast Asia."
"..." Qi Yuexi seemed not to understand. "What did you say? I'm a little confused."
“My sister gave Lao Liu a sum of money to sell Jian Yu to Southeast Asia. After Lao Liu took Jian Yu away, he must have broken the agreement and took my sister away with him.”
Yu Ze regretted not continuing to contact Yu Yao that day, otherwise he would have found out that she hadn't returned to school.
"Impossible, how could your sister do such a thing?" Qi Yuexi didn't believe it.
Yu Ze handed her his phone so she could see the chat history from the night before.
Qi Yuexi's face tightened as she scrolled up, and when she reached the photo of her unconscious in the garbage dump, her eyes narrowed and she exclaimed, "The person in the photo is Yu Yao!"
Yu Ze was taken aback, then opened his mouth to deny it, "Impossible."
After shouting, I still felt uncertain.
The photo was too dark, so he didn't look at it carefully at the time.
Qi Yuexi trembled all over. "Others may not recognize her, but I can tell the difference at a glance. This photo is not of Jian Yu. The person who was taken away by Lao Liu is not her."
Yu Ze was so nervous that he couldn't speak.
"I think Jian Yu holds a grudge against your sister and contacted Lao Liu to sell her off."
People from the Huo family came and said that Jian Yu had kidnapped their eldest daughter. The Huo family's eldest daughter has so many bodyguards, and Jian Yu dared to do that. What wouldn't he dare to do to Yu Yao?
Qi Yuexi felt she had never regretted it more than this moment; she shouldn't have brought Jian Yu back.
Without redundancy, this situation wouldn't exist.
Yu Ze had felt guilty for the past two days, but he was used to his mother's criticism of Jian Yu, and following his mother's words, he also began to doubt Jian Yu.
Perhaps Jian Yu discovered Yu Yao's actions in advance and secretly switched their identities.
Because the two looked alike, Lao Liu didn't notice anything amiss.
That's how Yu Yao was mistakenly kidnapped.
This also explains why Jian Yu is still in China and is able to kidnap Miss Huo.
Yu Ze was still deep in thought when he heard Qi Yuexi's voice and came back to his senses.
"Change your route to the police station."
Yu Ze asked with some worry, "Mom, should we really call the police?"
"Yu Yao's disappearance is inextricably linked to Jian Yu, and now no one can find her. If we let the police search for her, it will be faster."
Yu Ze had heard of the Huo family's infamous reputation and was worried that it might backfire, so after hesitating, he still advised against it.
"If what the person who sent the message said is true, and my sister is really in the hands of the Huo family, if we call the police, will they become angry and do something bad to my sister?"
“We can’t worry about that now. Your uncle’s election is still more than a week away, and I can’t wait that long. Besides, what if he loses the election? Your sister will still be secretly sent away. Rather than that, we should call the police.”
"Shall we go back and discuss it with Dad?"
The content of his chat with Yu Yao is also detrimental to Yu Yao. If we call the police, will it bring this up again?
Qi Yuexi was unwilling to place her hopes on Wang Tu, and shook her head. "We still don't know what happened with Miss Huo's kidnapping case. Judging from the Huo family's words, it's inseparable from Jian Yu. If your sister is really in the Huo family, they're just trying to use this opportunity to ask for a favor. Now that it's been exposed, even if your sister is really there, they won't admit it. They might even secretly send your sister away to cover their tracks. What kind of place is Southeast Asia? How could your sister go there? After thinking it over, I think it's better to have the police go and demand her back. I'll make sure the police protect Yu Yao's privacy and don't let the news of her being harmed leak out."
Qi Yuexi didn't want to discuss it with Yu Hao at all. Since she had already called the police, it was too late for Yu Hao to object.
The reason for acting first and informing later was not only because he harbored resentment towards Jian Yu, but also because he feared that his father-in-law would not dare to provoke the Huo family.
Yu Zhentian prioritizes his own interests and would not offend the Huo family conglomerate for the sake of his two granddaughters.
They would simply offset the suffering Yu Yao endured with the mistakes Jian Yu made by kidnapping her, claiming that their merits and demerits canceled each other out.
In order to seek peaceful coexistence with the Huo family.
Why should Yu Yao have to pay the price for Jian Yu's mistakes?
Qi Yuexi was unwilling to accept this and became increasingly angry, so she immediately called the police.
Yu Ze was also very worried about Yu Yao and hoped she would come back soon.
There was no obstruction.
Hopefully the police can do a good job and find the person as soon as possible.
Upon hearing the caller say they would be there soon, the police officers on duty immediately prepared.
Huo Tingzhen glanced at Jian Yu discreetly. Even Jian Yu's own mother had called the police, accusing her of selling her younger sister.
She could still maintain a completely expressionless face.
Jianyu edited a message and placed it on the page for future reference.
Huo Tingzhen, itching to ask, couldn't help but ask, "You've already edited it, why haven't you sent it to Huo Nan?"
"Wait a little longer."
"Waiting for what?" Huo Tingzhen said, "Waiting for someone to tip off the Huo family? You probably won't get that. Maybe the staff are using phones that are tamper-proof and anti-eavesdropping. Even if they do secretly tip off the family, you won't know."
"Anyway, Huo Nan will get the news. I just need to keep an eye on him."
Huo Tingzhen agreed with Jian Yu's idea, "No matter who you report to, someone will definitely report to Huo Nan."
As soon as Qi Yuexi arrived at the police station, she began taking notes.
She now hates Jian Yu to the core, and her first words are that Jian Yu was jealous of Yu Yao and sold Yu Yao to Lao Liu.
The police asked her if she had any evidence to prove that Yu Yao's disappearance was directly related to Jian Yu.
Qi Yuexi paused for a moment, but she couldn't hand over Yu Ze's phone and tell him that the person in the photo wasn't Jian Yu, but Yu Yao.
Wouldn't that betray Yu Ze and Yu Yao?
The police will definitely laugh at Yu Yao; she tried to harm others but ended up harming herself.
Unable to produce direct evidence, they could only confidently assert that the two were at odds and that the person Yu Yao met before her disappearance was Jian Yu.
"Tonight, Huo Nan came to our house and said that Jian Yu kidnapped their eldest daughter. There's also a photo as proof. The photo is with Huo Nan, and you can ask him for it. If she can kidnap one Huo family eldest daughter, she can kidnap a second one to sell."
Although there was no evidence, the person who reported the case mentioned a suspect, and the police had to verify the information.
Jian Yu was immediately listed as the prime suspect.
