Ye Zi's hand, which was holding the phone, couldn't help but tremble. She bit her lower lip with her pearly white teeth. After a long while, she slowly said, "I'm sorry, Brother Chen Mo. I misunderstood just now.
..”
On the other end of the line, Chen Mo was visibly stunned. After a long while, he said, "So that's how it is. So now you …"
Ye Zi said, "Brother Chen Mo, I still have something to do. I can't talk to you now. I'll hang up first."
Beep beep beep …
Chen Mo still wanted to say something, but the only response he got was the busy tone.
He looked at the phone screen that was gradually turning black. Chen Mo had a nagging feeling that something was wrong. After pondering for a long while, he slowly put down the phone.
Chen Mo frowned and picked up the phone. Then, he put it down again.
Could something have happened to Ye Zi?
As Chen Mo thought about this, he finally picked up the phone and called Ye Zi.
However, Ye Zi didn't pick up the phone. This made Chen Mo feel very strange. They had just talked on the phone. How could …
Suddenly, Chen Mo's heart sank. He had a bad premonition. Could the little lass have met with some kind of danger? On the phone just now, she wanted to say something but stopped. What did she want to say to him?
He didn't know why, but Chen Mo's heart was beating extremely fast. An unprecedented panic made Chen Mo's face turn extremely ugly. He instinctively clenched his fists and his eyes darkened.
Chen Mo quickly walked to the door, picked up his coat on the hanger, and quickly walked out of the office.
He went directly to the parking lot and quickly got into his Beijing Jeep. The military green Beijing Jeep Fengchi sped all the way to Xinglan Bay Apartments.
The originally 25-minute drive had been shortened by 10 minutes by Chen Mo.
Chen Mo parked the car at the foot of the apartment building and dashed into the apartment building.
The elevator took a long time to arrive. Chen Mo's face alternated between white and green, and his eyes were dark. He kept pressing the elevator button. He couldn't wait any longer, so he turned around and walked into the stairwell. Thump, thump, thump … Chen Mo ran all the way and rushed to the 22nd floor in the shortest time possible.
Chen Mo panted heavily, his forehead already covered with soybean-sized beads of sweat. His face was extremely gloomy, as if a rainstorm would come in the next second.
"Dong dong dong …"
Chen Mo knocked hard on the door, but no one answered for a long time.
Feeling anxious, he took out his phone and called Ye Zi.
Du du du …
There was a busy tone on the phone. Then, a mechanical female voice came through the phone and into Chen Mo's ears. "Sorry, the number you have dialed is not available …"
Chen Mo's heart skipped a beat. It was as if a huge rock had smashed into his heart.
Pain, suffocation, stuffy …
Chen Mo only felt that he couldn't breathe, and his face turned red.
There was only one thought in his mind: Something had happened to Ye Zi.
After leaving Xinglan Bay Apartments quickly, Chen Mo drove directly to Lam's Group.
"Sir, sir, you can't go in. Mr. Lin is in a meeting. If there is anything you need, you can …"
The receptionist at the front desk wanted to stop Chen Mo, but to no avail. Chen Mo was a 1.5-meter tall man, and he strode towards the elevator with a majestic gait.
"Sir …"
Chen Mo took out his identification card from his pocket. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, as if he had locked on to his prey. He stared at the receptionist without blinking.
"Officer, Mr. Lin is in a meeting. If you …"
Before the receptionist could finish, Chen Mo suddenly interrupted her and said coldly, "I want to see Lin Yan now!"
Ding dong!
At that moment, the elevator stopped. Chen Mo quickly walked into the elevator, leaving the receptionist standing there with a dejected expression. After a long time, she finally reacted and picked up her phone to call Qin Yuran. "Assistant Qin, there is a police officer named Chen Mo. He is going there now, but he doesn't have an appointment. He insists on seeing Mr. Lin."
Qin Yuran knitted her brows and replied, "Alright, I got it."
When she hung up the phone, the elevator had already stopped. Qin Yuran saw Chen Mo coming out of the elevator. She quickly stepped forward and stood in front of Chen Mo.
"Officer Chen, you can't go in." Qin Yuran raised her sharp chin and stared at Chen Mo coldly.
Chen Mo glanced at Qin Yuran coldly and said, "Get out of my way!"
"I'm sorry." Qin Yuran didn't have the slightest intention of backing down. "This is my job, Officer Chen. I hope you won't make things difficult for me."
"The police are handling a case. You have to get out of the way." Chen Mo said coldly.
Qin Yuran stood in front of Chen Mo and raised her sharp chin. She stared at Chen Mo coldly. "Well, since the police are handling a case, show me your search warrant. Otherwise …"
Chen Mo didn't want to pay attention to Qin Yuran at all. He pushed her away and looked at the closed door of the conference room. He kicked the door open.
He was a rough man, and he was worried about Ye Zi's safety. He couldn't care about anything else.
With a muffled bang, everyone in the conference room looked at Chen Mo, who was standing at the door.
Lin Yan was holding a document in his hand. He had a pair of sharp eyes, but under the light of the projector in the conference room, he looked indifferent.
He saw Chen Mo and frowned.
"Lin Yan, little girl …"
Lin Yan suddenly raised his hand and winked at Chen Mo. Chen Mo immediately stopped talking.
Lin Yan's indifferent but sharp eyes looked around at everyone present. He waved his hand, and his thin lips slightly opened, spitting out two words. "Get out."
Immediately, a group of people filed out. Only Lin Yan and Chen Mo were left in the big conference room.
At this time, Lin Yan frowned and looked at Chen Mo. His thin lips slightly opened, and he asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Chen Mo's face was dignified. His originally bronze skin looked even gloomier at this moment. He sat opposite Chen Mo and said in a low voice, "Did Ye Zi contact you today?"
Hearing this, Lin Yan frowned deeply. Because he had a meeting today, his phone had been turned off. He took out his phone and turned it on. After a message came in, but there was no message from Ye Zi. He shook his head slightly and said in a low voice, "No."
Chen Mo said anxiously, "I'm worried that something happened to the little girl."
Lin Yan's expression turned even uglier. "What's going on?!"
Chen Mo said in a low voice, "Today, the little girl called me and said that she had a clue about the Female Corpses on the Road Case. But not long after, she called me again and told me that she misunderstood. Then, her phone has been turned off until now."
Lin Yan frowned, and his face became even gloomier. When he heard Chen Mo mention that Ye Zi's phone was turned off, he squinted his long and narrow eyes. Immediately, Lin Yan took out his phone and called Ye Zi, but her phone was still turned off.
He subconsciously clenched his fists and quickly got up. He left Lam's Group with Chen Mo and began to look for Ye Zi.
However, after a series of phone calls, he suddenly realized that Ye Zi had not contacted anyone today. Lin Yan's heart was in his throat. He was very worried that something had happened to Ye Zi.
He stepped on the accelerator and pushed the speed of the black Jeep Cherokee to the limit.
On the road, he could only see the two taillights of the black Jeep Cherokee. He rushed back to Xinglan Bay Apartments as soon as he could. After opening the door to the house, he did not see Ye Zi in the empty room.
Lin Yan's heart was covered with an ominous premonition. His hands clenched into fists, and his pale knuckles made a "ka ka" sound.
His face was gloomy, and he could not help but think that Ye Zi's mood had been very unusual recently. Especially after those books were lost at home, Ye Zi had been on tenterhooks all day.
Could it be …
Lin Yan shook his head forcefully. It should not be.
He gritted his teeth hard, and a "zhi zhi" sound came from between his lips. He quickly walked to the front of the car, but suddenly stopped. Lin Yan's eyes stopped at the surveillance camera in mid-air.
Lin Yan was not in a hurry to get into the car. Instead, he walked directly to the property management office of Xinglan Bay Apartments.
In the property management office, the property management staff pulled up today's video. As expected, in the video, Lin Yan saw Ye Zi leaving Xinglan Bay Apartments.
Lin Yan furrowed his brows. She had left the apartment. Where could she have gone?!
He called Qin Chen, Jian Xia, To Look Around, and Yao Mianan, but they all told Lin Yan that they did not see Ye Zi today.
Where could she have gone?!
Lin Yan's brows were tightly knitted, and his face was as dark as steel. He clenched his fists tightly, and with his long and straight legs, he quickly left the apartment.
Drip, drip …
Droplets of water fell on Ye Zi's forehead, sliding down her plump forehead to her long eyelashes.
In a flash, Ye Zi slowly opened her eyes. What entered her eyes was an unfamiliar environment.
She furrowed her brows tightly, feeling waves of pain in her head. Her facial features were tangled together, and she wanted to reach out her hand to wipe the water off her face, but she suddenly realized that she had been tied up.
Ye Zi's eyes suddenly widened. At this moment, she finally saw everything in the room clearly.
The room was dilapidated, and there were all sorts of junk piled up. Not far in front of her was a huge blackboard, which showed that she was in a dilapidated classroom.
This place …
Ye Zi's eyes narrowed, and she struggled with all her might. The rope binding her body became tighter, and no matter how hard she struggled, she could not break free from the rope binding her.
