Shangcheng District.

Hundreds of black vans drove out of the Jiang family mansion and dispersed into various streets.

The van door opened, and ten men in black suits and sunglasses got out and began a thorough search of the area.

It startled the bewildered passersby.

The Jiang family mansion, the intelligence department.

Jiang Yihe frowned as she stared at the dozen or so large data screens.

"Miss, we have stolen all the surveillance cameras in the lower and upper districts, but none of them captured the target you are looking for," the hacker reported.

"What about the people in the apartment complex? Are there any unusual signs?"

The hacker replied, "We conducted a background check on all residents and visitors in the apartment complex, and they are all on normal activity patterns. No strangers have entered the apartment complex."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yihe's expression turned grave.

This is the first time that even using the family's intelligence network has yielded absolutely no useful information.

In the past, it only took three seconds to find someone.

"That's strange. Could it be that Lin Chengfeng's sister just vanished into thin air?"

"If that's the case, they'll definitely use combat techniques. It's possible that the energy fluctuation detector didn't detect any energy fluctuations over there."

"There were several unusual energy fluctuations before his sister disappeared. Could this be related?"

Jiang Yihe rested her chin on her hand and guessed.

The previous abnormal energy fluctuations have faded, making it difficult to trace them back to a specific individual.

However, there was one thing she was curious about.

A large portion of the surveillance cameras in the apartment complex have been hacked.

Going back in time, surveillance footage at the entrance to the Lower City district shows the entire Luo family entering the district, but they never came out again.

Among them, Jiang Yihe learned about the incident at the White Pearl Restaurant and saw the figure of Lu Jiba, the second young master of the Lu family.

"Could that vampire be after Lin Chengfeng's blood?" Jiang Yihe's eyes flashed with a cold light as she thought of this.

Just thinking about Lu Jiba made her feel nauseous.

"Butler Wang, prepare the carriage, let's go to the Lu family."

"Yes."

……

A small grove of trees near the side gate of the apartment complex.

Gu Wanxue searched the entire place but couldn't find any trace of Lin Xingtong. The area was covered in cobwebs, indicating that no one had been there for a long time.

Just then, her phone vibrated in her pocket.

I received information that Jiang Yihe went to the Lu family to investigate.

A short while later, Lin Chengfeng called her.

"How is it? Have you found Xing Tong yet?!" Gu Wanxue asked anxiously.

Lin Chengfeng's heavy voice came from the other end of the phone: "No, I've already searched the red-light district and found no trace of Xing Tong."

Gu Wanxue gritted her teeth: "Then there's only one place left. I need to go to the Lu family. What about you?"

"I'm coming right now." Even through the phone, Gu Wanxue could feel Lin Chengfeng's murderous intent.

……

Shangcheng District.

The pedestrians on the street were all talking about the black-clad police officers from the Jiang family.

"What's the Jiang family up to? Has some outsider offended them?"

"Wow, this is terrifying."

"Being caught and subjected to the excruciating punishment of being slowly sliced ​​to death is considered a blessing."

The pedestrian street with the highest concentration of vendors.

A man in a brown trench coat with a stubble beard saw a stall selling grilled lamb skewers and excitedly walked over.

"Hey, they sell lamb skewers here! Boss, give me two of the biggest ones!"

In the blink of an eye, the man returned to the girl with two half-meter-long skewers of mutton.

If Lin Chengfeng were here, he would definitely recognize that the sister he had been searching for all day was right here.

Beside Lin Xingtong was a cat with squinting eyes that didn't smile.

The man took out a skewer of lamb and handed it to Lin Xingtong.

"Here you go, your favorite food is lamb skewers. When I was little, I stood in front of the lamb skewer stall for ages, craving them, but I never asked my brother to buy them for me."

Lin Xingtong turned her head away and did not take the man's lamb skewers.

The man sighed helplessly, "Alright, the little princess is still sulking, so I'll carry it for you."

At this moment, three black-clad police officers from the Jiang family passed by Lin Xingtong, but they seemed not to see her at all, and did not stop in their tracks.

Lin Xingtong's lips trembled slightly; she wanted to open her mouth and shout, but she couldn't.

Her mouth and body seemed to be welded together, but she could actually speak and move around.

But as soon as the thought of escaping flashes through her mind, an invisible force suppresses her.

More importantly, she was like a ghost; no one but men could see her.

"You've already left us, so why are you still secretly watching us? And now you still have the nerve to come back?" Lin Xingtong said coldly, never once looking directly at the man.

Lin Su did not answer, but instead looked at the chair not far away.

"There's a chair over there. The little princess must be tired from walking. Let's rest there for a bit."

He strode toward the bench, with Lin Xingtong and the cat who didn't smile reluctantly following behind him.

"The world has changed. The base city won't last much longer. We'll eventually have to return to the surface," Lin Su said to himself.

He sighed deeply.

"I know I'm not qualified to see you. Actually, you were an accident. It's all my fault for getting drunk with that madman back then, which led to your birth in this cruel world."

"So you're just abandoning us?" Lin Xingtong asked angrily.

Lin Su scratched his face: "Well, I... I've actually been keeping an eye on you guys, but for some complicated reasons, I haven't been able to meet with you."

"The reason I came out today is because I broke a certain rule, and I'm afraid I'll be missing for a while now."

After saying that, he took out an amber-colored capsule, inside which was a strange human figure.

"Time is of the essence, little princess. Could you please open your mouth and eat it?"

Lin Xingtong's pupils contracted sharply, and she instinctively clenched her lips.

Lin Su sighed helplessly: "Alright, I've offended the little princess. My actions might be a bit rough. You can hate me or hit me as much as you want afterward, but you have to eat this."

Lin Xingtong was a hundred times unwilling, but her mouth wouldn't obey her and opened.

My body felt as if it were under a spell, unable to move at all.

I watched helplessly as Lin Su stuffed the amber capsule into his mouth, then took out a water bottle and poured some water into it.

"Cough cough cough!!!"

Lin Xingtong coughed violently and swallowed the amber capsule.

"What...what did you feed me?!" Lin Xingtong bent over, trying to induce vomiting, but no matter what she did, she couldn't vomit.

"A good thing that can protect you," Lin Su said with a smile.

"You bastard!" Lin Xingtong could no longer hold back and punched him in the face.

Lin Su didn't dodge and took the punch squarely, but he just tilted his head and wasn't hurt at all.

"You abandoned us for over ten years, and now you suddenly reappear, feeding me weird stuff! What are you thinking?!"

Lin Xingtong stood up, clenched her fists, and unleashed a barrage of punches at his face.

"Go ahead and hit me, little princess. If it makes you happy, then I'm worth it as a punching bag." Lin Su forced out a relieved smile as he was being brutally beaten.

"Damn it!" Seeing that slapping his face had no effect, Lin Xingtong raised her leg and aimed at his shield to kick out.

"Ouch!!" Lin Su revealed a pained expression, his body arched like a shrimp, and he knelt on the ground. "This is against the rules, little princess..."

"Hmph, serves you right!" Seeing his pained expression, Lin Xingtong felt much better.

Lin Su forced a stiff smile.

"In short, I would never harm you two siblings. I only want to protect you, but I have too many limitations and can only rely on other methods."

"Little princess, you must know that I love you, but... be careful of the madwoman who gave birth to you. Never get close to her, and never believe a single word she says."

"She's a bad person, a really, really bad person!"
