Early morning in Jinghai, Yi Mansion.
Ring ring ring~
A sudden phone call woke Zhou Yi up from the bed.
"Hello~" Zhou Yi reached out and picked up the microphone from the bedside table and answered it in a daze.
In the past two days, she specially installed an extension at the head of the bed in the second-floor bedroom, just so that she could receive calls from Shen Ning at any time.
"Xiaoyi~It's Gaofei." Yun Gaofei's low voice came from the other end of the phone.
Zhou Yi immediately sat up from the bed, shook his head, put the microphone closer to his ear, and asked quickly: "Lao Yun, is there something wrong?"
They had agreed before that if there was nothing important during this period, they would try not to call each other. After all, it would be quite inconvenient for him to talk on the phone.
Yun Gaofei paused and said, "We haven't been able to contact Li Zhao and Qin Bei for a whole day and night."
Zhou Yi's heart skipped a beat after hearing this. After a while, he regained his voice and asked, "What do you mean I can't get in touch with you?"
Yun Gaofei told Zhou Yi what had happened. Li Zhao received reliable information that Xian Dong was going to meet with several criminal leaders, so he took two people to stop him. He happened to meet Qin Bei who was looking for Li Zhao, so Qin Bei followed them.
As a result, no one has been seen returning since yesterday afternoon. During this period, Yun Gaofei also took people to search the farmers' market they went to. They found a special mark left by Qin Bei at a fruit and vegetable stall, but it only proved that they had been there.
But, still no one was found.
"What can I do?" Zhou Yi calmed himself down and asked Yun Gaofei.
"Contact the Long family. Qin Bei is their nephew. The army can only follow normal procedures for this matter, but they can't wait any longer. The longer they delay, the greater the risk." Yun Gaofei said quickly.
Zhou Yi nodded and replied, "Okay."
After saying that, he hung up the phone and dialed Long Yan's number directly.
"Hello, who is this?" The phone was connected and Long Yan's voice came from the other end.
Zhou Yi took a deep breath: "Mr. Long, it's me, Zhou Yi~"
She briefly told Long Yan about Qin Bei and Li Zhao.
"Fuck~ Xian Dong is reaching out to my cousin? Xiaoyi, don't worry, I'll arrange it right away." After hearing Zhou Yi's words, Long Yan on the other end realized the seriousness of the matter and his tone became hurried.
After all, a whole night and half a day have passed, so anything is possible.
"Okay, I'll wait for your news." After saying that, Zhou Yi hung up the phone.
After thinking for a while, he dialed another phone number.
"Hello, Xiaoyi? It's so early, is there something wrong?" It was Su Mingzhe's voice on the other end of the phone.
"Dad, can you contact the person who is secretly protecting Li Zhao?" Zhou Yi asked quickly.
"What happened?" Su Mingzhe asked in a serious voice.
Zhou Yi told Su Mingzhe what happened and asked him to call them to see if he could get in touch with them.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yi went to the bathroom and washed up quickly.
After changing her clothes and making a cup of coffee, she walked to the corridor and sat down, thinking carefully, if she were Xian Dong, where would she lock Li Zhao and Qin Bei up, and what purpose would she use them to achieve?
The more she thought about it, the more solemn the expression on her face became.
"Sister-in-law~He will be fine, right?" Yun Xiaoyun's choked voice suddenly sounded behind her.
Zhou Yi turned around and looked at Yun Xiaoyun with red eyes. He knew that she must have heard the conversation between him and Yun Gaofei on the host computer.
Zhou Yi didn’t know what to say for a moment, and he wasn’t sure if everything would be alright.
But she had carefully deduced that if she were Xian Dong, she would not take their lives at this time. After all, Xian Dong did not hate them the most.
"It's going to be okay, Xiaoyun, we're trying to figure it out." Finally, Zhou Yi told Yun Xiaoyun that everything would be okay.
"Sister-in-law~" At this time, tears in Yun Xiaoyun's eyes were already flowing down her cheeks.
Zhou Yi hugged her gently and told her not to worry and go back to school first.
Yun Xiaoyun just walked out of Yi Mansion and headed towards Jinghai University.
Ring ring ring~
The phone at Yi Mansion rang again urgently. It was Su Mingzhe calling.
He told Zhou Yi that he could not contact the people who were secretly protecting Li Zhao and Qin Bei, comforted Zhou Yi, hung up the phone and went to find a solution.
Zhou Yi just hung up the phone when the phone rang again.
She picked up the phone, without saying a word, waiting for the other party to speak, as if she knew who was on the other end.
"Heh~ Zhou Yi, didn't expect that?" Xian Dong on the other end of the phone sneered contemptuously and said in a low voice.
Zhou Yi could feel his viciousness and resentment even through the phone.
"Mr. Xian? Why do you have so much leisure to call me?" Zhou Yi took a breath and asked in a calm tone.
Xian Dong paused for a moment, then said, "Zhou Yi, why do you need to be so clear-headed? You were the one who found Long Yan, right?"
Zhou Yi continued to play dumb and said, "Mr. Long came to see you? Could it be that he wants to cooperate with you?"
"Don't play dumb. Li Zhao and Qin Bei are in my hands. I don't believe you haven't received any news at all." Xian Dong directly revealed his trump card.
"So, what do you want, Mr. Xian?" Zhou Yi's tone was still not surprised, just like before.
"You, come to Chen Ning, otherwise you will be waiting to help collect their bodies." After Xian Dong said this, he kicked the person next to him and hung up the phone.
Zhou Yi heard it very clearly. The last kick he gave was from Li Zhao and Qin Bei. Although the other party suppressed their voices very much, she still heard it.
She gritted her teeth and hung up the phone, her eyes full of worry. When she was just figuring it out, she had guessed that Xian Dong would use the two of them to threaten her, and she had even thought of the content of the threat.
Therefore, at this moment, she was only worried about Li Zhao and the others, and was not moved or surprised by Xian Dong's threat.
She thought for a while, picked up the phone and dialed Long Yan's number first.
"Mr. Long, how is Shen Ning doing now?" After answering the call, Zhou Yi asked Long Yan directly.
Long Yan thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Yi, I was just about to call you. The situation with Shen Ning isn't very optimistic right now. Xian Dong has hidden Li Zhao and Qin Bei, and he hasn't shown up either. I don't know what he's up to."
"He just called me and threatened me to go to Chen Ning with the lives of Li Zhao and Qin Bei." Zhou Yi said lightly, and her tone did not reveal her emotions at the moment.
"He actually harbored such thoughts? It seems that he is extremely resentful and wary of you, Xiaoyi!" Long Yan sighed into the microphone, "But, Xiaoyi, I don't quite agree with you coming to Chen Ning. Now, as long as we can buy some time, we will find them soon. But if you fall into Xian Dong's hands, he will take your life immediately."
Zhou Yi understood what Long Yan said, but did she have any other choice?
"I have to go this time. If I don't go, how can I buy you some time?" Zhou Yi's eyes and tone were very firm.
She must go this time.
