Upon hearing the voice on the phone, Jian Yu immediately shouted, "Don't call the police!"
Anke blurted out instinctively, "Wrong number!"
Then I hung up the phone.
"Aren't you going to call the police? Who are you going to call? I'll dial the number for you."
Jian Yu shook his head and held out one hand. "Give me your phone."
An could hand the phone over.
Jian Yu took it, performed some operations, and then handed it back to her.
“We’re going back to your place. From now on, you have to listen to me and you’re not allowed to tell anyone that you’ve seen me.”
"Why? Aren't you going to the hospital? It's so cold. Falling into the water is no joke. You could easily get sick."
Jian Yu could not possibly not want to go to the hospital, but it was best for her not to go right now.
When the truck driver hit him, his eyes showed no panic, but rather a fierce look.
Even if she was slow to realize it, she understood that the person had deliberately rammed into her car.
Knowing when and where she goes means the person behind it must have been watching her for a long time and is quite familiar with the area around her home. I wonder if they got help from people around her?
If they don't succeed this time, they might try again.
For my own future safety, I need to find out who it is.
Before Jian Yu even reached An Ke's place, he developed a fever. He bought some cold medicine at a pharmacy on the way, thinking that he would feel warmer at his place.
As a result, Anke didn't get the heating turned on at all because of financial constraints.
Fortunately, there was an electric heater in the room.
Anke hasn't eaten much these past few days. When she's hungry, she just eats a few bites of dry instant noodles. There's not even any hot water in the house.
Jian Yu gave all the cash he had to An Ke so she could go downstairs to the small supermarket and buy a kettle so she could have a few sips of hot water.
Anke also packed some dinner to go.
Jian Yu wanted to use An Ke's phone to look up some things, but the high fever was too unbearable, and he fell asleep without even eating.
Every time it was time to take her medicine, Anke would wake her up and feed her the medicine.
Having not eaten for several meals in a row, An Ke was worried that Jian Yu's body couldn't handle it, so she went downstairs to buy some rice to cook.
Jian Yu was burning up and had no strength, so An Ke fed her rice porridge spoonful by spoonful.
After finishing the rice porridge, Jian Yu got out of bed and went to the bathroom.
"It's too cold in your room, you should buy another electric heater!"
Anke: "That's several hundred yuan! You should just go to bed."
Jian Yu said, "After all these years, you don't have a single savings account? How did you end up so destitute?"
Anke looked pained. "My performance fees were low before, and I didn't have many performance opportunities, so I couldn't save much money. I only saved some recently, but I've already spent it all."
"I haven't asked you yet, what are you doing going to a place like that by yourself?"
Anke said, "I haven't been working lately. No one wants to hire me at bars or shopping malls. I'm running out of money and I really don't know what to do."
“You can move to another city. If the surrounding area isn’t suitable, you can go to a smaller city further away. How could there be no job opportunities? If all else fails, you can become a piano teacher and teach a few students.”
“I offended someone, and they keep sending people to find out about me. As soon as I find a new job, I lose it again within an hour.”
"They've been following you?"
Anke nodded.
Jian Yu was a little uneasy, "When you saved me, did they notice?"
An Ke said, "Don't worry, there's no problem. I couldn't shake them off on the ground, so I hired a raft. I was afraid they would continue to follow me, so I wandered around outside for a day, and somehow ended up on the other side of the abyss."
Jian Yu felt relieved.
"However, I didn't return the kayak to the rental office. I only sent them the location and a photo. They had their staff drive it back last night, so they deducted half of my deposit. You'll have to pay me back for that later."
"Deducting half is acceptable; at least they didn't pretend something was lost and make you pay the full amount."
Encore, "..."
She was still wary enough to choose a location with surveillance cameras, so that if something was stolen, she could just call the police.
Anke's bed was by the window. Jian Yu lifted the curtain and looked down.
What are you looking at?
"Check if anyone is spying on you."
Anke walked over and pulled the curtains down. "There shouldn't be any left."
After Jian Yu looked over, he continued, "I posted a message on WeChat Moments this morning, saying that I had chosen a satisfactory resting place. It was only visible to a few people, so they probably thought I had already..."
Therefore, the people monitoring Anke may have already dispersed.
Jian Yu felt relieved, crawled into bed, and first checked An Ke's phone for any suspicious issues.
After confirming that no one had contacted Anke, I exited the app and prepared to investigate a few suspected targets.
While examining the patient, she fell asleep within minutes due to the effects of the medication.
Seeing this, An put away her phone and crawled into bed.
She hadn't slept for a day and a night, and was so tired she couldn't stay awake any longer.
Anke covered the blanket with a down jacket to increase warmth, and soon fell asleep snuggled up to Jianyu.
The rescue team's work is still in full swing.
Uncle Li glanced at the time; it was already midnight. "Young Master, why don't you get some sleep?"
Huo Qizhen remained silent. The next moment, the phone on the table lit up.
Huo Qizhen grabbed him, and the call was connected in less than half a second.
"Mr. Huo, we found a down jacket more than 70 miles from the scene of the incident. After comparing the pictures, it is the same as the one Jian Yu was wearing when she went out. Your security captain also confirmed the brand of the jacket. It is a pure handmade down jacket that you customized overseas."
"Send me the photos."
As soon as he finished speaking, the photo arrived.
The security captain knew exactly how to take the photos. He took a full picture of the down jacket and another picture of the hem of the jacket.
On the black down jacket, two letters were embroidered with black thread. Because the colors were similar, they were not easily noticeable unless you looked closely.
While Li Bo was still wondering why the photo was posted from this angle.
Huo Qizhen took a deep breath. "JY," is the abbreviation of Jian Yu's name.
More than 70 miles from the scene of the incident?
Huo Qizhen's wishful thinking shattered in an instant.
"Keep searching."
The call ended, but Huo Qizhen still held his phone without moving.
Uncle Li dared not speak again.
Huo Tingzhen, carrying the hot milk, didn't go in again.
Jian Yu is definitely in grave danger.
After a long while, Huo Tingzhen handed the cup to the servant behind her.
"Brother! These people are too slow, let's send some more people!"
Huo Qizhen did not respond.
Uncle Li said, "Based on the calculation of the water flow speed, several more rescue teams were added this afternoon, including civilian rescue teams, making a total of twenty-six teams now."
All those teams found was a down jacket; there was no trace of the person.
"What about the hospital's surveillance footage? Have they found anything?"
Uncle Li shook his head.
Huo Qizhen pinched the bridge of his nose, then got up and walked out.
"Brother, where are you going?"
Huo Qizhen remained silent.
Ten minutes later, a missing person notice was being pushed out on websites large and small across the country.
