Chapter 1883 Black Jade Missing
Although there was no voice chat, Yang Yi somehow understood the mark that Huo Yao had clicked on remotely on the computer.
"City C?" Zhuo Yun behind him asked in confusion, "Why is it City C?"
Even if the plane hadn't had an accident, there were other routes to choose from. How could Miss Huo be so sure that she went to City C?
What if the plane stops in other cities along the way?
Min Yu placed his fingers on his knees, tapping them occasionally. After a moment, he said, "Go to City C and contact the people there to keep an eye on them."
Zhuo Yun turned to look at his master and opened his mouth to say something, but thinking about the information Miss Huo had sent him before, he swallowed some of the words back.
He took out his cell phone and made a call.
Yang Yi stood up and entered the cockpit.
If Huo Yao's speculation is correct, then according to the route time, Professor Min and his team's plane will arrive in about three or four hours, or maybe even faster.
No matter what, now I can only hope that nothing unexpected happens.
On this side, Huo Yao turned off the computer and turned to look at the floor-to-ceiling glass window. The sky outside had already been shrouded in darkness, with only the lights of the manor illuminating the twilight on this side.
After she sent a message, she got up, walked to the closet, took a coat and put it on, then left the room again.
When he reached the stairs, Huo Yao paused slightly, thinking about something, then turned back and went to the room where Shangguan Tong lived instead of returning to his own room.
I knocked on the door twice, but there was no response for a while.
Huo Yao seemed to be thinking about something. He reached out and turned the doorknob. It was not locked, so he pushed it open and walked in.
Two minutes later, Huo Yao came out of the room again, his loose coat spread out, so that even if he was hiding something, no one would notice it.
Soon, Huo Yao went downstairs.
At this time, only the wall lamp was still on in the hall. The servants had already gone down to rest, and it was very quiet.
When Huo Yao left the manor, he did so almost silently, without even the guards at the gate noticing.
When they got to the road, not long after, a car came speeding and finally stopped in front of Huo Yao on the side of the road. She opened the back door and got in.
Just as fast as it came, the car soon disappeared on the road.

The next morning, Shangguan Tong came out after washing up and was about to sit down in front of the dressing table. When her eyes fell on the mirror, she suddenly stopped.
The next second she turned around, walked quickly to the closet on the left, pushed open the door that was not completely closed, and inside was a row of drawers with locks.
Shangguan Tong used the key to unlock the door, then directly opened the bottom drawer.
It's empty inside, there's nothing in it.
The box containing the black jade disappeared.
Shangguan Tong's expression changed slightly, and she opened several other drawers to look for something. After a while, she walked out of the room with a sullen face.
Downstairs, the old housekeeper was still giving orders to the servants. When he saw Shangguan Tong coming down from upstairs, he hurriedly greeted her respectfully, "Morning, Miss Tong."
Shangguan Tong nodded slightly, then asked casually, "Did anyone come into my room to clean it yesterday?"
The old butler didn't know what had happened and hurriedly shook his head, "No, you had previously ordered that no one be allowed in, so I specifically told them."
After a pause, he asked carefully, "Is there any problem?"
Shangguan Tong looked at the old butler, knowing that he would not lie, and said, "Nothing."
The things should not have been moved by the servants.
After turning his eyes, Shangguan Tong asked again, "By the way, is Yaoyao up?"
