Yi An's car slowly drove into the underground parking garage of the residential area.
He opened the door, got out of the car, and locked the door behind him.
On his way to the elevator, he spotted Su Yan's car immediately.
"You're back so early."
He was muttering to himself, engrossed in watching, when suddenly a black sedan turned out, followed by a sharp horn and blinding headlights.
Yi An froze for a moment, then hurriedly took two steps back to the side, barely managing to avoid the oncoming car.
He patted his chest with lingering fear, "There really are people who treat underground parking garages like racetracks."
He grumbled as he walked toward the elevator.
He tripped over something, staggered, and almost fell, as the object flew away.
Yi An steadied herself and looked closely; it was a cell phone.
"Who left their phone here?"
Yi An walked over, picked it up, and her finger may have accidentally touched the power button, because the screen lit up immediately.
A photo of Su Yan and Su Xiaoyu suddenly caught his eye.
"Su Yan's phone?" He was startled. "So careless, she even lost her phone."
Yi An took her phone, entered the elevator, and then opened the screen to admire the photos. She couldn't help but exclaim, "I have to say, these two really do look like mother and daughter."
He pointed at Su Xiaoyu's indifferent face with his finger, "This little brat really hasn't learned how to smile at all."
Thinking about how to tease Su Xiaoyu next time they met, he slowly walked out of the elevator and headed towards Su Yan's house.
Yi An patted the door for a while, but no one came to open it.
"Su Yan? Su Yan!"
He called out tentatively twice, but no one responded.
"Isn't she home?"
He frowned, and just as he was about to turn around and go home, his phone suddenly rang.
The screen was flashing Sisi's name. Yi An thought that Su Yan had discovered that her phone was missing, so she took Duan Sisi's phone and called.
Without thinking, he answered the call. Just as he was about to start scolding her, Duan Sisi spoke up urgently on the other end.
"Honey, you've been gone for so long, you should be home by now. Didn't we agree that you'd call me when you got home and I'd bring Xiaoyu to you? You're not going to back out again, are you? Let me tell you, no way!"
Duan Sisi's long string of words left Yi An completely bewildered.
"You mean Su Yan went home a long time ago?"
Duan Sisi was startled when she heard a man's voice on the other end of the phone.
"Who are you! How did you get Su Yan's phone number!"
Hearing her panicked voice, Yi An explained gently, "Hello, don't worry. We met at kindergarten last time. I'm Xiao Bao's father, Yi An."
Duan Sisi suddenly realized, "Oh, it's you! No wonder your voice sounded so familiar."
After she finished speaking, she realized something was wrong.
"Wait a minute, how come Su Yan's phone is with you?"
Yi An explained methodically: "She dropped her phone in the underground parking garage. I brought it up to her, but no one was home. Do you know where she went?"
Duan Sisi's voice immediately rose a notch, "How could that be! She went back to my place a long time ago!"
Yi An subconsciously guessed, "Could it be that she went somewhere again?"
Duan Sisi firmly retorted, "No way! We already made plans. She'll call me as soon as she gets home, and I'll drive Xiaoyu over. She definitely won't go out!"
Yi An's heart sank, and her brows furrowed tightly.
He first reassured Duan Sisi on the other end of the phone, "Xiaoyu's mom, don't worry, I'll go ask the property management and let you know if I have any news."
"Okay, thank you so much. Please help me find Su Yan."
"good."
Yi An agreed and hung up the phone, her face full of seriousness.
"The car was in the underground parking garage, and the phone was also left there, but the person is gone."
Yi An turned around and went to the property management office. "My car was scratched in the garage. Can I check the CCTV footage from this afternoon?"
He made up a random excuse and got the property management staff to pull up the afternoon's surveillance footage for him.
"It was monitored around 4 o'clock."
He pushed the time back an hour based on the time he returned.
After continuous fast-forwarding, Su Yan's familiar figure finally appeared at 4:43.
"Stop, right here."
After Yi'an called a halt, she dismissed the property management staff.
"I can take a look myself. You can go about your business."
He only started recording the surveillance footage again after the property management staff left.
Through the video recording, he clearly saw the entire process of Su Yan being knocked unconscious.
Yi An tried hard to identify the license plate number of the car that took Su Yan away, but before she could see it clearly, she spotted another familiar figure.
"That's me?!"
He suddenly looked up and saw the time in the upper right corner, which was the time he arrived at the parking lot.
"So, that car is the one that almost hit me."
With that thought, Yi'an instantly had a plan.
Seeing that he was in a hurry to leave, the property management staff hurriedly asked, "Have you found the person who vandalized the car? Do you want me to help you find out his address?"
Yi An was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled dryly and replied, "No need, I found out she's someone I know. I'll go find her myself, thank you."
He hurriedly left the property management center and took out his phone to call Zhao Bo.
Zhao Bo is busy on a date with his girlfriend, watching a movie.
The atmosphere was just right; he almost moved his hand to his girlfriend's hand.
Just then, Yi An called, startling the two of them.
The people watching the movie around them also gave the two of them unfriendly looks.
Zhao Bo awkwardly apologized to those around him, "I'm sorry."
He looked down and saw it was Yi An calling, so he immediately hung up in annoyance.
His girlfriend looked at him, puzzled. "Who called? Are you okay?"
Just as Zhao Bo was about to explain, the phone rang again.
Hearing the phone ringing so urgently, his girlfriend kindly advised, "Why don't you answer it? What if it's something urgent?"
Zhao Bo's heart melted upon hearing this.
"You're so kind, I'll be right back."
He glanced at her reluctantly, then left the theater, turning back every few steps.
As soon as he answered Yi An's call, Zhao Bo immediately changed his demeanor.
"What are you doing! Yi'an, are you doing this on purpose? You see I finally have a relationship, and you're here to ruin it? Tell me the truth, are you really interested in me?"
Before Yi An could speak, he excitedly retorted, "Let me tell you, that's impossible! Our relationship is limited to friends, colleagues, and superiors/subordinates! Don't be delusional about a toad eating swan meat!"
Yi An was completely stunned by his words.
"What are you talking about? Did you get your brain squeezed by a door, or kicked by a donkey?"
Zhao Bo pursed his lips and asked irritably, "If you're not jealous, then why did you call?"
Yi An's anger subsided, and he said in a low voice, "Su Yan has been kidnapped."
