“Ruixue drove and now even her car had disappeared. It is different to look for a person but somewhat easier to look for a car.” Unlike in the future where there were surveillance cameras all over the place, it was difficult to find someone. But looking for a car would still be easier than looking for a person.
“Did she offend anyone lately? Had she said anything to you?” asked Hu Ruiyang anxiously as he rubbed his temples.
Shu Yan smacked herself over her head and said quickly, “I ran into Sun Xi a while back and she had me told Ruixue to watch out for Ji Fansheng. Could it be him?”
“I’ll have someone look into him right away,” said Hu Ruiyang with a long face and a deep voice.
Shu Yan recalled that she had taken down Sun Xi’s number last time and called her up immediately. Shu Yan brought Sun Xi up to date and, after a slight pause, Sun Xi said, “As I have said, she needed to look out for Ji Fansheng. Ji Fansheng is a psycho. I am sure he was the one who took her.”
Shu Yan was already anxious and Sun Xi had to say that now? If she knew that there was something wrong with Ji Fansheng and was dangerous, she should have said so sooner!
“Do you know where Ji Fansheng could be at?” All Shu Yan could think of was scenes from thriller movies. She worried that something terrible would have happened to Hu Ruixue.
“He had two mansions in the countryside. He very likely will go there. I am not sure which one he will be at. You need to locate Ruixue as soon as possible. I don’t know what kind of crazy things Ji Fansheng would do to her.”
Shu Yan repeated what Sun Xi said to Hu Ruiyang and Feng Zeyu. Hu Ruiyang was able to immediately found out the addresses for the two mansions. It so happened that Feng Zeyu’s company was responsible for the security for both locations. They called and neither one of them had seen Hu Ruixue’s car.
“Ji Fansheng isn’t going to be that stupid. He wouldn’t have her car there. Maybe he had borrowed someone else’s car?”
They were just about to split up into two teams when Feng Zeyu’s cellphone rang. “Okay. I get it.”
“We got them. In the south countryside.” He had a comrade who had been injured during the war. He had a slight limp. He wouldn’t be able to protect some bigshot but was more than enough to be a local neighborhood security guard. He was the lead security guard for the south countryside mansion district right now and knew that the owner of Ji Fansheng’s mansion had returned today.
Feng Zeyu gave Hu Ruiyang a look and had his comrade and the security guard go and get the spare key from property management. If they found out that Hu Ruixue was inside, they should go and get her first and worry about the rest later.
Hu Ruiyang shouted into the phone next to him. “You go and save her. I’ll take full responsibility!”
The group of them rushed downstairs, hopped into their cars and headed toward south countryside as fast as they could.
Ji Fansheng carried Hu Ruixue upstairs. There were rose petals all over the pink room and pink gauzes hanging all around the bed. “Is this pretty?”
Hu Ruixue couldn’t even talk right now. She looked desperately at Ji Fansheng.
“Don’t look at me like that.” Ji Fansheng placed Hu Ruixue on the bed, reached his hand up, and brushed it over her eyes. “You should be looking at me lovingly.”
He looked at Hu Ruixue, crazed. He kissed her on her hair, cheeks, and neck softly and slowly moved down onto her chest. “Xiao Xue. It had been so many years. We can finally be together now.”
Outside of the mansion, the man from property management wiped away his sweat, pointed at the mansion in front of him and said, “This is it.”
