Then they brought out several drones and started searching the mountains for Youju.
However, the two were unaware that Dongfang Yi had already been rescued and taken away from this place.
Zheng Qiangkai was also unaware of this.
Zheng Qiangkai finally reached the halfway point of the mountain, but his exhausted body left him extremely weak.
He was furious as he looked at the empty territory.
Seeing his subordinate in front of him, he kicked him.
"Useless! You can't even protect a seriously injured person, what use are you!"
His subordinate was kicked to the ground, in excruciating pain, but dared not utter a word of protest.
Zheng Qiangkai's trusted confidant, seeing this, advised, "Young Master, the most important thing right now is to find him. He shouldn't have gone far in this desolate wilderness."
We need to hurry, otherwise, once the Dongfang family finds out, we'll be in real trouble.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Qiangkai also considered the consequences of the matter, so he didn't bother arguing with the people on the ground and instead spoke up.
"Give me the money and go find him! You have to turn this whole mountain upside down to find him, or you'll regret it!"
Immediately, everyone rushed off to look for the person.
Three hours passed.
Zheng Qiangkai sat in the chair, having lost all patience.
"Still haven't found it!"
The trusted aide stepped forward and said, "Yes, young master. Logically speaking, it's impossible. How could someone so seriously injured escape our encirclement? It's highly unlikely. Unless someone rescued him!"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Qiangkai's brows furrowed instantly. "You mean someone found him before us and took him away?"
The confidant said, "That's possible. Otherwise, our men have almost turned the whole mountain upside down, but we still haven't found any trace of him. Isn't that a bit strange?"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Qiangkai thought about it and realized that it made sense.
He then called Zheng Cheng and told him about the situation and his guesses.
"Dad, I've found nothing here. I suspect someone must have rescued him first. Can you check the surrounding surveillance footage for me? I don't believe a living person can just disappear like that."
Although Zheng Cheng was very angry, he also understood the importance of the matter.
"Okay, I'll have someone investigate. You keep looking."
"Understood, Dad."
...
Meanwhile, Youju, who had already finished searching the entire mountain, returned to her car, looking sullen.
"Youzhu, where do you think the person could be? I've searched the entire mountain three times, but there's no trace of them. What do you think is going on?"
Hearing the sound, Youzhu continued typing rapidly on her notebook.
Seeing that Youzhu remained silent for a while, Youju glanced at him and said, "Youzhu, what are you still busy with?"
"Check something."
"Investigate what?" Youju asked, puzzled.
I'll tell you later.
While replying to Youju, Youzhu continued typing on the keyboard.
Seeing this, Youju didn't press the matter further.
It wasn't long before Youzhu stopped.
Upon seeing this, Youju immediately asked, "Did you discover anything?"
Youzhu nodded and said, "Yes. I checked all the surveillance footage in the area, and there haven't been any suspicious vehicles around since last night."
Upon hearing this, Youju asked in confusion, "What kind of discovery is this? We still don't have any trace of it."
Youzhu knew that Youju was an impatient person, so she didn't say much and continued.
"Later I hacked into satellite and aviation systems and made a major discovery."
"What major discovery?"
Youzhu said, "Before we arrived, a private helicopter left this airspace. I followed it and saw that Dongfang Yi was indeed rescued by them."
"Really?" Youju asked with some surprise.
Youzhu nodded, and was about to say something when Youju spoke first.
"What are we still standing here for? Let's chase them!"
Youzhu said, "We can't chase after them. Let's go back first. They've already left H country's territory. Judging from their flight path, their destination is probably M country."
Zheng Cheng's side, however, lacked the capability and, after searching for a long time, found no useful information.
Having no other option, Zheng Cheng told Dongfang Yelei about the matter. Dongfang Yelei was furious but helpless, so he told the so-called "adult" about the situation, hoping that he could help him.
"My lord, you must help me, or I'm doomed."
If Dongfang Yi were to return alive and learn of everything he had done, he would likely face certain death.
"Useless! I'll come over tomorrow and handle it myself."
...
The Eastern Family.
After everyone woke up from their afternoon nap, Jian Yixue was a little hungry, and the family was sitting in the living room having afternoon tea to satisfy their hunger.
Suddenly, Old Master Cheng pushed open the door and came out, saying, "Master, the old master and madam have woken up."
Before Jian Yixue could speak, Dongfang Tinglan, who was standing to the side, paused and dropped the pastries in her hand.
Jian Yixue glanced at Dongfang Tinglan and said, "Mom, shall I go in and tell Grandpa and Grandma first?"
Dongfang Tinglan nodded, somewhat at a loss.
Upon seeing this, Gong Beize pulled her into his arms, trying to calm her unease.
Seeing this, Jian Yixue was about to get up when Ye Mohan quickly stood up and helped her, saying, "I'll go in with you."
Jane did not refuse.
Under the watchful eyes of Dongfang Tinglan and Gong Beize, the two entered the room.
Jian Yixue glanced over and saw that the two of them had already sat up, with Su Hui, her grandmother's confidante, serving them.
Jian Yixue quickly walked to the bedside and asked with concern, "Grandpa and Grandma, is anything still bothering you?"
Grandpa Dong shook his head, then smiled and said, "No, I'm fine. What brings you to Lancheng?"
Madam Dongfang immediately noticed Jian Yixue's protruding belly and exclaimed in surprise, "Xue'er is pregnant?"
Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue nodded.
"How many months?"
Jane said, "It's been almost eight months."
"So soon, that means she's about to give birth. Why are you still running around?" the old lady said with some concern.
Jian Yixue: "It's still early, it'll be another month or two."
Old Madam Dongfang said, "That won't do either. Ah Hui, quickly get Xue'er a chair to sit down."
Su Hui nodded and hurried to get a chair.
Seeing this scene, Jian Yixue said helplessly, "Grandma, it's not that exaggerated."
The old lady disagreed, saying, "It's not an exaggeration. Pregnancy is one of the most difficult things in the world for a woman."
Suddenly she looked at Ye Mohan and said, "Mohan, don't spoil her too much. It's better to take care of her health at this time."
Ye Mohan bowed and said, "Grandma is right."
Seeing this, Jian Yixue didn't say much. She took the stool that Su Hui handed her and sat down on the edge of the bed.
Seeing this, Old Master Dongfang said, "Alright, old woman, Xue'er and Mo Han aren't children, they know what they're doing."
Seeing this, Madam Dongfang could only offer a few more words of advice and then said no more.
Afterwards, Jian Yixue took the pulse of the two elders, and only then did she feel at ease.
