Chapter 1446 Missing Together
"I know!" Li Jinxing nodded with a wry smile, subconsciously tightening his grip on Nie Yao's phone, and whispered, "She had already called me, but unfortunately I was a step too late. When I realized something was wrong, I should have immediately mobilized all the forces I could to rush to the scene to protect her!"
His voice remained restrained, but Steve could see Li Jinxing's self-blame and worry from his trembling wrist...
"Mr. Li, this isn't your fault. None of us could have imagined this..." Steve couldn't help but sigh and said helplessly, "We were all careless!"
"Steve, you don't understand..." Li Jinxing frowned and said in a dark tone, "If the other party is only interested in Yaoyao as a person, then she will at least be safer. What if she is captured by the same gang that dealt with me before? I'm worried..."
He didn't even dare to think too much. Those people were hiding behind him and could use any vicious means!
"Mr. Li, are you worried about the person who kidnapped my senior sister, or the tomb robbers who covet your heirloom?" Steve asked hesitantly.
Li Jinxing did not answer, but just nodded silently.
"Vanessa just had an argument with a military police officer. She said some cultural relics were lost..." Steve explained what had just happened to Li Jinxing: "I don't know what was lost, but if there really were cultural relics lost, it's very likely that the disappearance of my senior sister and the loss of the cultural relics were really the work of tomb robbers!"
Upon hearing this, Li Jinxing frowned even more tightly and murmured, "I still remember that we found out that the tomb-robbing gang leader who called himself Osiris had been hiding deep in the forests of Sudan..."
"Could they really be the ones who committed the crime?" Steve also vaguely remembered this name. If it was really them...
"Mr. Li, they wouldn't take my senior sister to Sudan overnight, right?" Steve asked in surprise and doubt, his eyes wide open.
Li Jinxing remained silent.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Jinxing slowly spoke and asked Steve in a deep voice, "By the way, where is Yaoyao's backpack that she always carries with her? Was it taken away with her when she disappeared?"
"No, the backpack is still there..." Steve shook his head hurriedly and replied in a low voice: "The archaeologists gave her backpack to me. It's still with me. Nothing is lost, even the notebook is inside. Mr. Li, do you want it..."
"Don't worry, take me to the underground palace!" Li Jinxing waved his hand.
Steve responded quickly and took Li Jinxing down the underground palace. He did not forget to introduce to Li Jinxing the order in which they discovered the underground palace, and then took Li Jinxing directly to the secret room whose door was not opened yet.
"The senior sister discovered a possible way to open the secret room, so she decided to come here at night..." Steve pointed at the secret room and explained with a wry smile.
Li Jinxing didn't understand any of this. He just listened to Steve's words and asked thoughtfully, "Didn't you try using the artifact I handed over? Didn't you say it might be the key to the secret room?"
"We tried using a one-to-one replica, but the prerequisite is to find the keyhole..." Steve said this, and suddenly thought of something, and shouted: "Not good!"
"What?" Li Jinxing asked in confusion when he saw him startled.
"That replica seems to have disappeared too!" Steve frowned and said hesitantly, "I gave this thing to my senior. She should have brought it with her last night, but the replica is missing from her backpack!"
