The two of them walked quickly and in no time, they arrived at the washroom Meng Ran had visited.
She carefully opened the door of every washroom and searched the entire washroom, but she did not see any traces of Meng Ran.
She lowered her eyes and thought that something was wrong. Just as she was about to inform the hotel with a frown, she suddenly saw a faint light coming from the gap between the two bathrooms in the corner.
She took two steps forward and squatted down neatly. A phone with a slightly lit screen appeared in front of Mo Zhu. She reached out and picked up the phone. With just a rough look, she recognized that this phone was the one Meng Ran often used.
Her phone had fallen in such a hidden location and she had suddenly disappeared. She stood rooted to the ground and pondered quietly for a few seconds before thinking of the worst possibility.
Holding the phone in her hand tightly, Mo Zhu did not hesitate at all. She turned around and walked towards the hotel’s work table. Unexpectedly, before she walked out of the washroom to meet Zhang Qi, Meng Ran’s phone suddenly vibrated.
He looked down at the caller ID. Although this was Country N, the anonymous number that called was from Country Z.
Mo Zhu frowned and gently rubbed her palms. She swiped the answer button and placed the phone by her ear.
A moment later, a voice that was disguised by a voice changer came from the phone. “Is this Ms. Mo Zhu?”
Seeing that the person had called her name accurately, Mo Zhu’s face darkened coldly and she replied in an unfriendly tone, “It’s me.”
After saying this, the person on the other end coughed lightly and emphasized, “Ms. Mo Zhu, if you want to save your friend’s life, rush to the old warehouse number 23 in Dragon Tail Alley now. You have to remember that you can only do it alone. If we find out that you have brought anyone with you, your friend’s life will be in danger!”
The other party’s motive for kidnapping Meng Ran was indeed to threaten her. Mo Zhu sneered coldly and replied, “Don’t touch that girl. I’ll be there soon!”
Just as she finished speaking, before the other party could reply, Mo Zhu hung up the phone and walked out of the washroom.
As Zhang Qi did not receive Mo Zhu’s order, he did not dare to leave without permission to look for Meng Ran elsewhere. Seeing the girl walk out of the washroom with a dark expression, he scratched his head anxiously and took two steps forward. He said anxiously, “Sister Mo, what’s the situation inside? Did you not find Meng Ran?”
Mo Zhu nodded and handed Meng Ran’s phone to Zhang Qi. Just as she was about to instruct him on his next arrangements, a girl’s voice suddenly came from the corner. “Sister Mo, where are you going? Can you bring me along?”
The person who spoke was Jiang Yu, who had followed Mo Zhu here. She had been hiding in the dark and secretly observing Mo Zhu during the celebration banquet tonight. Just now, when Mo Zhu asked the two teachers in the hotel lobby if she could leave, Jiang Yu had naturally heard it.
Knowing that Mo Zhu was leaving first, Jiang Yu could only think that the girl wanted to leave with Huo Xuan. No! She couldn’t give her a chance to be alone with Huo Xuan and cultivate their relationship. She had to be with Mo Zhu at all times!
Thinking of this, Jiang Yu quietly followed behind Mo Zhu. However, when she saw Mo Zhu following Zhang Qi to the washroom with a displeased expression, her expression changed slightly. She also realized that something was wrong.
Seeing that the person who came was Jiang Yu, Mo Zhu looked back at the girl indifferently. She frowned slightly and asked in a low voice, “What are you doing here? This is not a place you should be. Hurry up and gather in the hall. Go back and rest with the teachers and students!”
When Jiang Yu heard this and heard that Mo Zhu wanted to chase her away, her eyes instantly turned red. She quickly took two steps forward and grabbed Mo Zhu’s sleeve. She said aggrievedly, “Sister Mo, don’t be in a hurry to chase me away. I’m worried about you. Where are you going so late at night? Can you bring me along?”
