Qingyao woke up from her sleep in a daze. Before she was fully conscious, she was disturbed by a sudden ring of the phone.
She frowned and fumbled for her phone on the bedside table. When she answered, she immediately heard Brother Qi's anxious voice: "Ms. Qingyao, Qi Yue and Yan Qing have been taken away! Our Qi family has mobilized all our connections to investigate, and all we know now is that they were taken to Southeast Asia."
Qingyao instantly lost all sleepiness. She gripped her phone tightly and asked, "Brother Qi, how could this happen? Have you found out who did this?"
Brother Qi sighed on the other end of the phone, his voice revealing a hint of fatigue and helplessness: "It's still unclear at the moment. They're being very covert and haven't left many clues. But we won't let go of any clues and will definitely find them."
Qingyao comforted him, saying, "I'll do something." After hanging up, Qingyao sat up, waking up Shanyu, who asked confusedly, "What's wrong with Qing'er?"
Qingyao turned around and said to Shanyu: "Be careful when you go out recently and strengthen security. Qi Yue and Yan Qing have been taken away." After that, Qingyao got out of bed and put on her clothes.
When Qingyao arrived at the Qi family, everyone except the eldest brother Qi saw Qingyao for the first time and stood up.
After the Qi family learned that Qi Yue had been taken away, they behaved differently at home.
Brother Qi, as the pillar of the Qi family, sat on the sofa in the living room with a frown and a serious expression. He then discussed with Qingyao. Although he tried to remain calm, the anxiety and worry in his eyes were difficult to conceal.
The elders of the Qi family had worried expressions on their faces. Some sighed and shook their heads, worried about Qi Yue's safety and unknown fate.
Qi Yue's parents were even more anxious. His mother couldn't help sobbing softly. Although his father remained silent, his clenched fists and the bulging veins on his forehead showed his inner anger and anxiety.
They paced back and forth in the room, fidgeting restlessly, Qi Yue's figure constantly appearing in their minds, worrying about the dangers he might encounter in Southeast Asia.
The servants of the Qi family also changed from their usual relaxed attitude. They all looked nervous and acted very carefully, for fear that they would accidentally cause trouble and aggravate the crisis of the Qi family.
The housekeeper kept answering calls from all parties, reporting the latest news and clues to the Qi family, and coordinating various affairs at home to cooperate with the search for Qi Yue.
Qingyao learned at the Qi family that Yan Qing came to the Qi family to see Qi Yue after receiving a call from Brother Qi, with the purpose of persuading Qi Yue. The scene at that time was that Brother Qi was worried about certain conditions of Qi Yue, and thought that Yan Qing might be able to help persuade him, so he called Yan Qing.
Yan Qing rushed over immediately after receiving the call and talked with Qi Yue in the Qi family's garden. It was almost dinner time, and Brother Qi and his family were preparing to eat as usual, but found that Qi Yue and Yan Qing were late.
At first, no one took it seriously, thinking that the two were just delayed somewhere else in the mansion. However, as time went by, there was still no sign of the two. Brother Qi felt a little uneasy, so he asked his servants to look for them. However, after searching every corner of the Qi family, there was no trace of Qi Yue and Yan Qing.
Brother Qi took out his cell phone and called Qi Yue, but the receiver received a busy tone. He called Yan Qing, and the same thing happened.
At this moment, the Qi family's expressions began to become solemn, and an ominous premonition loomed in everyone's heart. Brother Qi made a quick decision and ordered the housekeeper to investigate the surveillance.
Soon, the surveillance footage showed that Qi Yue and Yan Qing were talking on the path in the garden. Suddenly, a group of people in black appeared from behind. Before the two could react, they knocked them unconscious, then quickly lifted them into a van parked on the side of the road and drove away.
Seeing this scene, the Qi family was shocked and angry. Brother Qi's face became extremely ugly, and his eyes revealed anger and worry. He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his palms.
After learning about the situation, Brother Qi immediately put on a serious face and mobilized the people in his family. A group of well-trained Qi family guards quickly took action and tracked along the possible routes.
Time passed slowly in the anxious waiting. After a few hours, the pursuers returned one after another, but the news they brought was not satisfactory.
They only found out that Qi Yue and Yan Qing finally boarded a ferry and headed towards Southeast Asia. Brother Qi frowned and paced back and forth in the living room. Overseas forces are complicated. Although the Qi family is quite prestigious locally, it is difficult to exert its influence overseas. Facing this vast ocean and the unknown Southeast Asia, it is really difficult to accurately locate their whereabouts.
Qi Yue's face was filled with fatigue and helplessness, but a glimmer of resolute hope shone in his eyes. He slowly walked towards Qingyao, his voice slightly hoarse: "Miss Qingyao, I really have no other choice in this predicament. I can only ask for your help."
Qingyao listened quietly as Brother Qi recounted the whole story, her eyes gradually becoming deep and calm. After Brother Qi finished, Qingyao raised her head slightly, glanced around at the Qi family, and spoke calmly, "This incident may have been caused by me, so I will take full responsibility. Give me three days, and I will bring them back unharmed."
After she finished speaking, she turned around without hesitation, her sleeves fluttering in the wind. Everyone in the Qi family watched her departing figure, their hearts filled with mixed emotions: gratitude and anticipation for her, but also worry and uneasiness about the unknown outcome.
After Qingyao left the Qi family, she hurried into a deep forest. The surroundings were quiet and gloomy, with only her footsteps echoing in the forest.
Her eyes were fixed on the colorful yet dangerous poisonous flowers and plants, her expression cold and focused.
She just raised her bare hands slightly, and lightly twisted her fingertips. A wisp of spiritual power, which was almost invisible, came out like a silk thread. The spiritual power flashed with a faint light and slowly floated towards the poisonous flowers and plants. In an instant, a strange scene emerged. Those originally still poisonous flowers and plants seemed to be given life. The branches and leaves twisted, the petals trembled, and they gradually transformed into human figures of various shapes.
Their faces were stern, their eyes were fierce, and they exuded a faint poisonous aura, as if they were demonic shadows crawling out from the depths of hell, instantly making the atmosphere of this forest even more eerie and unpredictable.
