Many children, many blessings; the story begins with revenge against the beautiful boss.

On the other side, He Yichen didn't give Yu Zhiqing any chance to catch her breath. He rushed forward instantly and attacked her shoulders with both hands in claw-like motions.

Yu Zhiqing had spoken with Dongniya and knew that this guy was far stronger than them, so she was mentally prepared.

Her moves were primarily defensive, aimed at stalling for time.

But I never expected that the masked man would be so ridiculously strong!

Just by taking He Yichen's blow head-on, Yu Zhiqing felt half of her body go numb and her tiger's mouth cracked!

Her heart sank; she knew she was no match for him.

Fortunately, He Yichen wasn't wearing a mask this time, so she immediately seized the opportunity and loudly reported his features through the earpiece:

"Medium build, short hair, a beauty mark under her right eye, wearing a black jacket!"

He Yichen sneered, "What's there to repay? By the time they get here, I'll have already run away!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly lunged forward, giving Yu Zhiqing almost no time to react.

In just two or three moves, his arm was shaken and lost its strength, his chest tightened, his vision went black, and he was knocked unconscious.

He Yichen reached out and scooped her up, holding her under his arm like a helpless kitten or puppy.

Immediately afterwards, he leaped up and climbed directly up the old brick wall!

"Over there—hurry!"

Wang Meng and the others rushed out of the alley at the other end, only to see He Yichen's back flash past the wall.

This masked man was truly amazing; even with someone with him, he climbed the wall as if it were flat ground.

People rushed over from afar to provide support, but there was no time to stop it.

"Damn it!" Wang Meng slammed his fist against the wall.

Qian Xining's eyes welled with tears, her voice trembling, "What do we do? Where did he take Zhiqing?!"

Wang Meng's face was ashen, and he gritted his teeth as he asked the spirit fox, "Any clues?"

Linghu calmly analyzed: "Based on the information I've gathered, plus the characteristics Officer Yu just reported, I can rule out most of the wrong locations."

"We have now identified four or five possible locations, all of which are abandoned factories or basements in the old city, where he may be hiding."

Wang Meng frowned, his gaze sweeping back and forth between the five red dots marked by the spirit fox.

These five coordinates are distributed in different directions in the old city.

It was clearly a deliberate scheme designed to delay the search and rescue operation.

"Four or five locations..." Wang Meng said in a deep voice, "With the masked man's strength, apart from me, no one else is his match."

The fox spirit nodded: "Moreover, he may have set up a fake lair to lure us into dividing our forces. If we mismanage our troops, Yu Zhiqing will be in danger."

Just then, a police officer ran up breathlessly to report: "Captain Wang, the SWAT team has received a request for backup, but they won't arrive for at least thirty minutes!"

Wang Meng gritted his teeth, quickly sorting out the situation in his mind.

"We don't have time to wait, Officer Yu can't wait that long."

"The masked man escaped with his men this time, but who knows when he'll reappear."

"Give him a chance to catch his breath, and Officer Yu will be in danger."

He took a deep breath and made a decisive decision: "We'll split into three groups."

"I went to check the South Warehouse by myself, which was the most likely place for him to be hiding."

"Linghu, Black Bear, Donya, and Li Yan, you four will form a group and be responsible for the abandoned factory in the North District."

"The police—" Wang Meng's gaze shifted to several tense, armed police officers:

"You don't have many people, so guard the factory on the east side and don't go in without permission. Wait for the special police to arrive before taking action."

He paused, then his tone turned serious: "If you really encounter a masked man, don't get into a fight. If he takes your guns, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Several police officers immediately straightened up: "Understood!"

"The patrol team members are divided into three groups, and they will follow us as the outer perimeter guard!"

"yes!"

After the deployment was completed, Wang Meng looked at the two remote coordinates remaining on the map, still feeling uneasy.

There were several abandoned cold storage facilities there, which the fox determined to be locations with a low probability of hiding.

"I'll head over to those cold storage facilities as soon as I've finished checking the warehouses on the south side."

The fox spirit responded, a hint of worry flashing in its eyes: "Brother Meng, it's too dangerous for you to go alone—"

"There's no time," Wang Meng interrupted him. "Officer Yu is in grave danger; we must hurry!"

……

The crowd dispersed, leaving only Cao Kun and Qian Xining standing in place.

Qian Xining lowered her head, tears falling drop by drop onto her fingertips, her voice trembling:

"It's all my fault... I should have stopped her... If anything happens to Qingqing, I will never forgive myself."

Cao Kun sighed, stepped forward, and gently patted her shoulder.

"Don't cry, good people are always protected by heaven, she'll be alright."

He comforted her, his tone calm, but his heart was far from at peace.

Yu Zhiqing is now in the hands of the masked man, and the longer this drags on, the greater the danger.

and many more……

A strange light suddenly flashed in Cao Kun's eyes.

The Celestial Compass.

He suddenly remembered that the compass that could glimpse the secrets of heaven could now be put into use.

"Xi Ning, go and rest in the car for a while," Cao Kun suddenly said, his tone gentle but leaving no room for refusal.

"I'll organize the information again and let you know as soon as Wang Meng has any news."

Qian Xining wiped away her tears and nodded gently: "Then I'll wait for you in the car."

After saying that, she dragged her weary figure away.

Cao Kun found a secluded corner and took out the Heavenly Compass from his pocket.

The compass was faintly glowing yellow, indicating that it was fully charged and ready to use.

Cao Kun's mind raced: "Divination!"

The compass gave a soft hum, and the dial began to spin rapidly before coming to a stop.

Then, faint golden characters appeared before my eyes:

August 16th is an extremely auspicious day, suitable for digging wells and receiving wealth. However, it is inauspicious to hesitate or gather in groups.

A cold glint flashed in Cao Kun's eyes.

— Avoid group activities, meaning do not act in groups?

In other words, this divination suggests that he should act alone.

The compass continued to spin, and the light and shadow coalesced into a blurry image:

A gray-white building appeared in the light screen, the sign at the entrance had fallen off, revealing the iron-gray structure beneath the snow-white walls.

It was the cold storage that the fox thought was "the least likely"!

Cao Kun's face darkened, and his mind raced.

"As expected, that masked man didn't play by the rules; the most unlikely place was the safest place."

Another image slowly emerged in the compass.

His eyes were closed, his body covered in blood, and he was held in Yu Zhiqing's arms. Behind him was a mess, with the masked man lying on the ground, his life hanging in the balance.

Yu Zhiqing cried out his name in anguish, her beautiful face streaked with tears.

Cao Kun's heart skipped a beat. He hadn't known how to win over Yu Zhiqing before, but now it seemed like he had a chance.

He subconsciously thought he could call Wang Meng, but after taking two steps, he stopped.

If Wang Meng were included, the scenario probably wouldn't come true.

The divination clearly indicates that it is best to act alone.

"It seems I'll have to go by myself this time."

Cao Kun's eyes sharpened. He put away the Heavenly Compass and, with the speed of the wind, rushed towards the direction of the cold storage shown on the compass.
