CCTV News: In Beijing, Chen Shuting brings a woman to her door.

As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Qilin immediately took out two bills from his pocket and placed them in the other person's hand.

"Here's two hundred. Keep the change to '980'. Now tell me where Guo Shaoheng is. So much time has passed; we can't afford to waste any more time."

“We don’t know where he went either. If we did, we would have told you from the beginning. There’s no need to pay us to tell you.”

"Yes, although we value money, we know in our hearts which is more important, money or human life, and we would never do such a thing."

As soon as he finished speaking, the people around him immediately echoed his words, leaving Gao Qilin momentarily speechless.

"You should have told us earlier over there. We've been waiting here for so long for nothing."

After hearing what they said, the patrol team couldn't help but complain. They then looked around and found that there was nothing like surveillance cameras, which made them realize that there was no point in investigating further, so they chose to leave.

"Where should we go next to investigate? Should we search the area around the hotel thoroughly, or go back and continue reviewing the surveillance footage?"

Upon seeing them, Gao Qilin immediately caught up with them and inquired about their next plans.

"You should go back and wait for news. You've probably seen the situation. The area around this hotel is so remote, and there aren't any security cameras. Going back to check would be a waste of time. You might as well wait there for a while and contact us when we have news."

"But……"

Upon hearing this, Gao Qilin realized that they were going to give up the search, which made him panic instantly.

But the current situation is exactly as they said, there are no clues at all, which makes Gao Qilin wonder what he can do to keep them here.

“We understand how you feel. Don’t worry, we will do our best to find the other person. After all, it’s what we should do. Don’t waste your time here. Go back and do something for yourself.”

Seeing that Gao Qilin had said those words but then stopped himself, the patrol team began to comfort him. After all, they had seen this kind of situation many times before and already knew how to deal with it.

"Then I'll have to trouble you. If you have any news from your side, please remember to contact me as soon as possible. I'll be waiting for your news."

The patrol team nodded, said nothing more, and drove away. In the blink of an eye, only Gao Qilin and his group remained in this remote place.

"What should we do next? Continue searching or...?"

Once the patrol team had completely disappeared from their sight, Gao Qilan couldn't help but ask questions, desperately wanting to get a solution from Gao Qilin.

"Keep searching. They are people from our Seaside Park. I would feel terrible if they were lost like this. But everyone should also take it easy and not put all their time into it. Remember to rest and don't exhaust yourselves looking for them. That would be a huge loss for us."

When Gao Qilan asked him questions, Gao Qilin revealed his thoughts and then arranged a route for people to search from different directions.

Just as Gao Qilin had planned the route and was about to execute it, Zhong Xiaoai, who was standing nearby, noticed the problem and immediately asked:

"If we follow your method, what will happen to the Sea Paradise? Will it have to close for a while? Even if it does close, I think someone should be on guard, otherwise someone might sneak in and take things, which would be bad."

"Oh right, how could I forget such an important point? How about this, you go back to guard the Sea World, and we'll take care of things here." 2.8

Upon hearing Zhong Xiaoai's words, Gao Qilin finally realized what was happening and quickly arranged for her to take charge of guarding the area.

"Why should I be in charge of this? My ability to find people is much better than any of you here. It's not really appropriate to make me the one in charge of this."

Seeing that Gao Qilin wanted to give her to Zhong Xiaoai, she looked very unwilling. In order to make Gao Qilin realize the problem, she even pointed out her advantages.

“I know that without you saying it, but I need someone trustworthy to look after the Sea Paradise. Who else do you think could do that besides you?”

Chapter 637 There was no trace of them ever being here.

After thinking about it carefully, Zhong Xiaoai agreed, so she didn't argue about it any further. After telling Gao Qilin and the others some things to be aware of, she hurriedly left.

After she left, Gao Qilin and the others split up and began searching. They searched in different directions, paying close attention to every detail, afraid of missing any.

But there was no sign of anyone having been in this desolate wilderness, which meant that after searching around, they found nothing.

“This won’t do. This place is too desolate. There’s not even a trace of anyone having been here. I don’t think Guo Shaoheng would be stupid enough to come to a place like this.”

"Yeah, this place is too desolate, it doesn't look like a place for humans at all. Maybe we should try a different approach."

At this point, the people started talking, realizing that continuing to search here was not a good idea.

16 Gao Qilin remained silent for a moment in the face of their words, because he knew the situation here, but he also knew that this was the place Guo Shaoheng was most likely to have been.

However, just to be on the safe side, he decided to leave the others behind while he ventured deeper into the area to see if he could find anything else.

But just as he had taken two steps, his phone suddenly rang.

"Who is it that calls me at this hour? Can't they find the right time?"

Upon hearing his phone ring, Gao Qilin appeared quite impatient, though he still took out his phone despite saying so.

The moment he took out his phone, he was stunned, because the person calling was none other than the village chief.

"What's going on? He's calling me at this time. Is he asking about Guo Shaoheng? That shouldn't be it, since I told him not to call me unless it's something important. So, does that mean Zhao Ruilong is causing trouble for them?"

Gao Qilin became increasingly uneasy as he thought about it. For safety's sake, he quickly answered the phone and inquired about the situation on the other end.

Upon hearing Gao Qilin's voice, the other party was completely relieved and said:

“My child has been away for so long, and I haven’t even had a chance to see him. This has made me miss him terribly these past few days. How about this, could you find a way to make an exception and let me see my child? Don’t worry, we just want to meet, and we will absolutely not do anything inappropriate.”

The village chief was afraid that Gao Qilin would not hand over Guo Shaoheng, so he said this on purpose. After saying this, he even put on a pleading look. His purpose was simple: to win Gao Qilin's sympathy.

Normally, no matter what time it is, Gao Qilin would allow him to come in and visit.

But now that Guo Shaoheng has just gotten into trouble, if he comes and finds nothing, things could escalate.

Thinking of this, Gao Qilin quickly said:

“It’s not that I don’t want you to go, it’s just that he’s really too busy here. There are so many people every day, if you go, you probably won’t see much. How about this, you rest here for a while, and cross the river after this heat dies down, what do you think?”

"Okay, then I'll do as you say. I'll check it again after this hype dies down."

Because Gao Qilin had helped them many times before, the village chief didn't suspect him. Seeing Gao Qilin agree, the village chief appeared very grateful and said:

"Thank you so much. I feel really bad for troubling you with such a small matter. How about this: next time you come, just let me know in advance so I can prepare to receive you. After all, you've brought so many benefits to our village, it would be really inappropriate if I didn't welcome you."

"Okay, then we'll do it your way. I'll let you know when I come next time. It's getting late, and I have some things to take care of. If you don't have anything else to do, I'll hang up now."

Gao Qilin was afraid the village chief would go on and on, and also worried that he might accidentally let something slip, so he prepared to leave.

I know you have things to take care of, so I won't bother you any longer. Just remember to call me when you have time.

Upon hearing Gao Qilin's words, the village chief immediately became serious. He hung up the phone right after saying those words, afraid of wasting even a little time.

"What was he thinking? Why did he come to visit Guo Shaoheng at this time? Did he have to come at this particular time?"

After hanging up the phone, Gao Qilin couldn't help but complain. At this moment, he was constantly worried that the situation would drag on for too long and expose him.

Just as Gao Qilin was worrying about this problem, his phone rang again, but this time it was none other than Zhong Xiaoai calling.

Gao Qilin relaxed considerably upon seeing that it was someone from his side, and immediately asked after answering the phone:

"What happened? Did something happen at the water park?"

Chapter 638 Major Discovery

"Nothing happened at the Sea Park, but I made a major discovery there. These things can't be explained over the phone, so you should come and see for yourself."

Seeing that Zhong Xiaoai was speaking so urgently, Gao Qilin realized the seriousness of the situation and prepared to go back and check on her properly.

Thinking of this, he immediately shouted loudly to those around him:

"We're not looking anymore today. I've realized there's no point in continuing the search. Let's all go back and rest. We'll discuss our next steps after we've rested enough."

"Why didn't we just do it this way earlier? Why waste so much time?"

"Yes, I told you before that there wouldn't be any clues in this place, but you didn't believe me. Well, do you believe me now?"

When Gao Qilin finally told them to go back, they became very impatient and kept complaining.

Although that's what they said, they still met up with Gao Qilin, reported the situation on their side, and then hurriedly returned to the Sea Paradise.

Upon returning to the amusement park, Zhong Xiaoai had been waiting there for a long time. Seeing them arrive, she immediately took the note from the tree and placed it in Gao Qilin's hand, saying:

"I found this note today when I was inspecting the water park. I don't know who put it here, but I know the person who put it here definitely had ulterior motives. So, what do you want to do about this?"

"This is clearly written by Zhao Ruilong. I never imagined he would kidnap Guo Shaoheng and use this method against me. It's unbelievable that he could come up with such a scheme."

After just one glance, Gao Qilin recognized who wrote it and couldn't help but criticize it.

"What? Guo Shaoheng has been kidnapped? What happened? Tell us quickly."

Upon hearing that Guo Shaoheng had been kidnapped, everyone present panicked and quickly focused their attention on Gao Qilin, all wanting to see what was written on the note.

"What's written here is very simple: Zhao Ruilong wants us to pay money to ransom the person."

"Zhao Ruilong asked you to give him money to ransom him? That doesn't make sense. In my memory, Zhao Ruilong is never short of money."

"That's right. The Zhao family is considered a wealthy family in the entire Handong Province. They shouldn't be capable of doing something like this. Do you think there might be a mistake?"

After hearing Gao Qilin say that, these people looked confused and questioned him in a skeptical tone, thinking that Gao Qilin must have made a mistake.

"I'm not mistaken. I fought with Zhao Ruilong for a while before, and I can still recognize his handwriting. As for why he used this method, I don't know either. In short, it's better for everyone to be careful."

Faced with these questions, Gao Qilin didn't know how to explain, so he could only focus on the content and think of a solution.

Although those people didn't believe him, Zhong Xiaoai and Gao Qilan believed that he would never lie.

After seeing Gao Qilin deep in thought, they all shared the solutions they had come up with.

"How about this, let's use a diversionary tactic. You pretend to go there, and I'll send someone to secretly follow you. That way, when we find Guo Shaoheng, we can bring him back directly."

“Your method is a bit dangerous. I think it’s better to listen to me. My method is to completely ignore him. I believe Zhao Ruilong won’t do anything drastic. After he realizes that Guo Shaoheng has no value in a couple of days, he will naturally give up on him.”

"Your methods are both fine. If you sneak over there, with your agility, you'll definitely be discovered and get a beating. As for ignoring them, I think you both know Zhao Ruilong better than I do. If you ignore them, who knows what he might do next?"

After the sentence was finished, the room fell silent. The others looked at each other, and no one spoke.

“I know you're thinking this way for Guo Shaoheng's safety, but I think the other side can also think of the problems you're considering. So, given the current situation, I think the safest approach is to have the patrol team come and help. What do you think? (No money)”
