Ji Jingchen calmly analyzed for a while. It was absolutely impossible that something had happened.

“You have to get that jewelry set for me. I’ll leave first.” Ji Jingchen left Jiang Cheng alone at the charity banquet.

Meanwhile, at the police station.

Ji Jingchen personally drove over. Along the way, he tried calling Du Jiuyuan many times, only to find that her phone was still turned off.

“The surveillance footage shows that she got into a car. The car was heading to South City, but she’s not in the car right now.” Gu Xingchen was not surprised to see Ji Jingchen coming over. He revealed the results of the investigation in a casual manner.

“Du Jiuyuan got out of the car at a blind spot where there were no surveillance cameras. Oh right, she also asked a friend to get her a fake ID and bought a plane ticket to the Western Coast.” This was all the information that could be found at the moment.

Ji Jingchen could only guess where she was.

“It’s all wrong. She wouldn’t go to such an obvious place. Moreover, she has a fatal flaw — air sickness. She just wants to escape from the marriage.” Du Jiuyuan’s air sickness was very serious. Every time she had to be on an airplane, she would feel dizzy and weak.

“Perhaps she is heading back to her hometown?”

As a longtime friend, Gu Xingchen knew that Ji Jingchen had a certain problem. He would not allow himself to lose control, even if it was for the sake of love. Therefore, Ji Jingchen had always displayed a negative attitude towards Du Jiuyuan. This is the nature of mankind, they would only cherish something when they were about to lose it!

“Where exactly did she go missing?” Ji Jingchen asked.

There were not many places without cameras.

“I have identified the place.” Gu Xingchen immediately began to check the cars behind the school.

Coincidentally, the car that Du Jiuyuan got into later was the only one that entered this area besides the earlier taxi.

“That car has already left Hong Kong city. It didn’t take the highway. It’s probably at this location.” Gu Xingchen explained the information he had found.

“She’s going to Ling City.” Ji Jingchen was very certain.

“Why do you think so?” Gu Xingchen was a little puzzled.

“Ling City is more developed, and there are many small alleys that would make it easy for her to hide. Most importantly, she has been there before,” Ji Jingchen explained.

He still remembered that year when Du Jiuyuan came back from Ling City. She had told him about the local culture of that place in his office. Unfortunately, he was dealing with work and did not pay much attention to her.

“If so, she should reach the city soon. It would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.” Gu Xingchen’s police authority was only useful in Hong Kong, not other places.

“Thank you.” Ji Jingchen left the police station quickly.

Du Jiuyuan’s first stop was indeed Ling City, but her final destination was another place. When she was about to reach Ling city, there was a traffic jam up ahead. She did not move much after half an hour.

“Sir, what’s going on up ahead?” Du Jiuyuan was a little upset.

“There seems to be a traffic accident. It’ll return to normal in a while.” The driver that was hired by He Lili, was quite friendly.

Du Jiuyuan’s heart shook. An absurd idea flashed through her mind. Although she felt that it was unlikely, she still became cautious.

She put on a cap and handed the cash that she had prepared in advance to the driver. “I’ll get off here.”

The driver was dumbfounded. “We haven’t reached our destination yet. Lili said that I must send you to your destination.”

“It’s okay. Let me get off!” The feeling inside her grew stronger and stronger. Du Jiuyuan insisted on leaving.

The driver opened the car door and allowed Du Jiuyuan to leave.

Du Jiuyuan got out of the car and looked around. She saw a mountain not far away. She had climbed this mountain before as one of her leisure activities. There was a small village on the other side of the mountain. Even if Ji Jingchen had correctly guessed that she would go to Ling City, he would certainly not be looking at this place.

Thus, she began to climb the mountain.

Her hunch was right. The cause of the traffic jam was not due to an accident, but because every car that entered Ling City had to be checked.

Gu Xingchen did not have that much authority, but Ji Jingchen did! With just a call from him, the police came to set up a checkpoint.

Half an hour was more than enough for Ji Jingchen to rush to Ling City from the highway.

There was a police car and a black Rolls-Royce parked at the checkpoint. Ji Jingchen looked at the cars that had passed the checkpoint, and his face turned darker and darker.

Gu Xingchen did not make it to the place as fast as Ji Jingchen but he still arrived shortly after.

“Are you sure she’ll come here? It’s been so long, but we haven’t been able to find her,” Gu Xingchen opened the door of the Rolls-Royce and asked.

“She’s not in the car, but that doesn’t mean she’s not here. She grew up in the mountains with Elder Du. She lived with animals, and she’s more sensitive to danger than animals. Any slight movement will make her more alert.”

How could it be said that Ji Jingchen did not care about Du Jiuyuan? The truth is, he knew a lot about her!

“Then what should we do now?” Gu Xingchen asked.

“Seal the mountain.” Ji Jingchen gave the instructions as if it was a simple matter.

“She’s just a little girl, why would she go into the mountains? When it gets dark, is she going to spend the night there?” Gu Xingchen was very surprised.
