Tang Xili stood on the apron, holding up her cell phone and looking at the sun rising in the sky.
The sun broke through the clouds and cast its first rays of sunlight on the distant sea.
The deep blue sea seemed to be on fire, with dazzling waves.
A flock of seagulls flew across the orange sea and sky, outlining a beautiful picture.
Yong Zhixu got off the plane and walked over from behind. Seeing her standing still, looking at the eastern sky, he thought she was watching the sunrise.
But the next second, he realized something was wrong. The girl exuded coldness, and her eyes had a complex look of "finally here".
"What's wrong?" The man's face changed slightly. He grabbed her wrist and looked at her cell phone.
The call was disconnected and the phone screen was black.
At this moment, his cell phone rang. The caller was Chen Zui.
"Third brother..." Chen Zui's tone was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, "Something happened. Zhou Zhou was kidnapped. The person claimed to be Xiao Ali's brother. Yunchuan, Jiang Qi and I were about to fly to New York..."
"Kidnapping?" Yong Zhixu was stunned and looked at Tang Xili. So, the call she just received was from Elvis?
"I understand." The man spoke calmly and soothingly, "When you get there, don't act rashly. Elvis wants to see Tang Xili. Until he sees her, Zhou Zhou's life won't be in danger for the time being."
After hearing the latter part, Chen Zui calmed down, "Okay, I'll wait for you."
He hung up the phone hastily and said to Yunchuan, who had been searching all night and was already in a state of panic, "You heard it too. There's no danger for now. Don't panic. Let's go to New York and wait for Third Brother and Little Ali."
Jiang Wenqing also comforted him, "Yes, don't worry, Zhou Zhou should be fine now."
Yunchuan was extremely anxious. The three of them boarded a private plane and flew to New York immediately.
On this side, Yong Zhixu put his cell phone into his trouser pocket, turned his head, and met Tang Xili's gaze. After not sleeping for a day and a night, the girl's beautiful eyes were bloodshot.
"Who called you, Yunchuan?" Tang Xili spoke first.
"It's Chen Zui." Feeling that she hadn't shown any surprise or panic from beginning to end, Yong Zhixu understood, "You've expected this day to come, right?"
"I didn't expect it." After a moment's silence, Tang Xili said, "I just thought about this possibility."
In the few seconds after Elvis hung up the phone, she kept wondering which step had gone wrong.
Logically, no one should know.
She immediately unlocked her phone and called Bella, "Has anything unusual happened in the past few days?"
Bella on the other end was about to call her, but she didn't expect her to call first, so she quickly said:
"Yes! A minute ago, news came from Northern Europe that Zhu Ningyue is missing, and all the people protecting her have been killed."
"They were all killed?" Tang Xili frowned. "How long ago did it happen?"
Bella replied, "According to the time of death, the bodyguards were killed three days ago. What's strange is that their communication devices were taken away, and they were in constant contact with headquarters, so the abnormality was not discovered immediately."
Hearing this, Tang Xili's expression turned cold.
The people she sent were all top-notch masters, it was impossible for them to die so silently.
Moreover, Zhu Ningyue disappeared just as Zhou Zhou was kidnapped to New York. There must be a connection between the two.
"Tell Alana and Annie to go to Northern Europe immediately and investigate this matter thoroughly."
Bella: "Okay Evelyn, but isn't Zhu Ningyue looking for it?"
"No need to look for her, she should be in Elvis's hands right now."
"Also?" Bella grasped the key point, "Who else is in Elvis' hands?"
"I'll be home soon. Talk to you later. Gather everyone. We're going to New York."
After hanging up the phone, Tang Xili strode towards the magnificent building bathed in the morning light, which was comparable to an ancient palace.
Yong Zhixu walked side by side with her, holding the helmet he had taken off. "What happened?"
Tang Xili said as she walked, "Zhu Ningyue is missing. The people who protected her were killed three days ago."
"He was killed three days ago?" Yong Zhixu was surprised. "Why did you find out now?"
"Those people's communication equipment has been in constant contact with headquarters."
After hearing this, Yong Zhixu's eyes swiveled, "Under what circumstances could a group of masters die so silently? Without even a chance to call for help?"
Tang Xili glanced at him. "The communication equipment has been in contact, and there are no abnormalities. First of all, we must rule out the possibility that the other party used electromagnetic pulses, unless it is..."
Yong Zhixu narrowed his eyes and continued in a low voice, "Unless... it's the person they trust most who does it!"
Tang Xili's expression was cold, "So, there must be a traitor among them!"
In other words, the one who is alive is the traitor!
Tang Xili paused, called Bella again, turned on the speakerphone, and confirmed with her, "Are you sure those people are all dead?"
"Yes, Evelyn. There were 14 people in total, and no one survived. The commander of the Swedish base, Sal, went to check it out personally."
"Okay, tell Alana and Annie not to investigate. I know who did it."
"Pah!" She hung up the phone, then laughed in anger. "Haha... I spent all day hunting geese, and now I get my eyes pecked out by a goose. Turns out the lab was just a decoy, and she's the real gift Max left me!"
Yong Zhixu, who had guessed the same thing, was afraid that she was really angry, so he patted her back to calm her down. "Max is very scheming. A few years ago, you were only a teenager. It's nothing to be a little behind. Don't be angry, dear."
"Hehe..." Tang Xili was a little angry at first, but was amused by his last sentence, "Are you coaxing a child?"
The man rubbed her head and tucked the soft hair that was blown to her cheek by the sea breeze behind her ear, "I'm worried you'll be angry."
Tang Xili sneered, and her eyes suddenly became strange and meaningful.
"Who said I was one step behind? A mere Zhu Ningyue wants to overturn my chessboard? You're dreaming."
Yong Zhixu's eyes flashed, "You..."
He knew that every time she made a move, she would anticipate countless possibilities for the next move. But at this moment, his confusion reached its peak, "Yangyang."
He couldn't help but ask, "Zhou Zhou, is she your biological sister?"
Before, Yunchuan told him that she had given Zhou Zhou a wedding dress and a phoenix coronet. At that moment, he was sure that Zhou Zhou was his biological sister.
Not seeing her and not attending the wedding was to protect her.
But the night before yesterday, when he saw how considerate and caring she was to Wen Ning, and Wen Ning even called her sister, he suddenly became unsure.
Or maybe... Wen Ning is her biological sister?
Glancing at the man with eyes full of curiosity and speculation, Tang Xili grabbed the man's hand and said, "Come here, I'll tell you the truth, a truth that no one knows..."
