Transmigrated into a female-oriented novel, and put an end to the domineering CEOs all over the city

After waiting for a long time, there was still no response.

Team Leader Gao refused to believe it and pressed the button several more times, but the manor was as empty as if no one was there, and there was no response.

He turned around and exchanged glances with his teammates, all of whom had solemn expressions.

"Xiao Lin, you two go around to the back and check if there's a back door," Captain Gao instructed. "Be careful, check if the back door is open, and report back immediately if anything happens."

Lin Yutang nodded to a young male police officer and headed around to the back of the manor.

Soon, they found a small iron gate at the back of the manor.

The male police officer went up and tried it, and found that the door was open.

He reported to his superior via walkie-talkie: "Team Leader Gao, we've found the back door; it's open."

Captain Gao's eyes lit up. He told two officers to stay at the main entrance while he and another officer quickly went to the back.

He pulled out his stun gun, turned on his flashlight, gave a signal with his eyes, and took the lead into the manor.

The others also took out their stun guns, turned on their flashlights, and followed the captain into the manor.

The manor was large and quiet; there wasn't a single person in sight.

The main building has four floors. Except for a heavy wooden door on the first floor that is locked, all the other doors are unlocked and can be opened with a gentle push.

The four split into two groups and quickly checked the main building. Finally, they found a cell phone in the study.

"There should be someone here tonight." Captain Gao glanced at the red wine on the desk that had only been sipped a few times, his expression somewhat complicated.

The people ran away; they were too late.

The group carefully examined the study again, but found no other valuable clues. They then left and returned to the locked wooden door on the first floor.

In the entire main building, all the room doors were unlocked, except for this one wooden door.

This was practically a blatant message to the police: There's something in here, come and see!

The four exchanged glances, each seeing seriousness and vigilance in the other's eyes.

After thinking for a moment, Captain Gao temporarily turned off the body camera on his chest and gave a signal with his eyes.

The other two immediately understood and turned off their recorders.

Lin Yutang paused for a moment before belatedly turning it off.

A young police officer leaned close to Lin Yutang and whispered, "You need an application to forcibly unlock something."

Lin Yutang nodded knowingly and took a step to the side without making a sound.

This wooden door needs to be pulled outwards; it's very heavy.

Captain Gao looked around but couldn't find a suitable tool, so he whispered to the young male police officer, "Xiao Zhao, go outside and find a hard rock or an iron rod or something."

"Yes!" Xiao Zhao nodded and turned to leave.

"Captain Gao..." Lin Yutang suddenly spoke up. She bent down and picked up a key from the edge of the carpet by the door. "Is this on the floor... the key to the door?"

Team Leader Gao: "..."

No way? What a coincidence? He went through all that trouble searching for the stone, and the key was right there at his feet? Mo Yan was probably worried they wouldn't be able to get in!

Captain Gao looked rather grim. He took the key, inserted it into the lock, and gently turned it.

"Click." The lock opened.

The other three exchanged bewildered glances, their expressions quite interesting.

Clearly, this key was specially left for them by Mo Yan.

Team Leader Gao looked rather grim, feeling as if he were being led by the nose by Mo Yan.

He turned the body camera back on, opened the door, and the beam of the flashlight at the tip of the stun gun pierced the darkness.

Then, he once again took the lead and went inside.

Behind the door was a narrow and steep concrete staircase leading down to a basement.

The basement was quiet, with only the sound of four people's leather shoes walking on the concrete stairs.

Soon, the four of them reached the bottom of the stairs.

It was a small basement, with no windows, no lights, only the beams of light from the flashlights in their hands.

Four beams of light quickly scanned the area, then simultaneously struck a huddled figure, causing all four to collectively shrink their pupils.

This is a girl with disheveled hair and a thin figure, kneeling on the cement ground with her head down.

She was wearing a dirty white dress, the hem of which was tattered and stained.

A leather collar was around his neck, to which was attached a heavy iron chain. The other end of the chain was firmly fastened to an iron ring handle on the wall.

The girl was curled up, leaning against the rough, cold cement wall.

Upon hearing the noise, she slowly raised her head, seemingly unaccustomed to the sudden bright light, and immediately raised a hand to shield her eyes.

That hand was very dirty, covered in yellowish-black stains, and looked greasy; I didn't know what they were.

Captain Gao adjusted the angle of the stun gun, shifting the beam slightly to reduce its blinding effect, and asked softly, "We're police officers, don't be afraid. Who are you? Can you speak?"

Upon hearing this, the girl suddenly became agitated.

She abruptly pushed her disheveled hair back, revealing a pale face that hadn't seen sunlight for a long time.

Her features were delicate, with a refined nose, large eyes that turned up at the corners, giving her a broken yet alluring charm.

At this moment, those eyes were painfully squinted shut because they hadn't been exposed to light for a long time, leaving only a slit, and their thick, long eyelashes trembled slightly.

She strained to open her eyes wide and, through the gap, made out four figures in light blue summer police uniforms.

Police officers! These are the people who represent law and order in the city!

Shock, disbelief, elation, grievance, lingering fear... all these emotions overwhelmed her like a burst dam.

"Police! You're the police! You've finally come! You've found me!" She trembled, her voice hoarse, and she burst into tears.

"Please, get me out of here! Please, please get me out of here!! I am Xie Qianyue! Xie Qianyue, a third-year student in the Dance Department of Badu University!"

She cried out and struggled to stand up, but the collar and chains around her neck restricted her, and she could only reach out her hands in vain.

"I was captured by Mo Yan! He locked me up here! I want to go home! Please! Please take me out of here!"

The young police officer, Xiao Zhao, immediately stepped forward and reassured her in a gentle tone: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, we are the police, we're here to rescue you, it's alright, you're safe now."

He crouched down and carefully examined the collar and chain around her neck, looking for a way to open it.

Captain Gao had already picked up the walkie-talkie and began to report: "Command center, this is Gao Shan, a police officer from the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the East Suburbs Branch. A female victim has been found imprisoned in XX Manor. Her injuries are unknown."

"No suspect has been found yet. The situation at the scene is complex. We request immediate reinforcements and contact..."

Looking at the girl in front of her who was hugging her colleague and crying loudly, Lin Yutang felt a mix of sympathy, pity, and anger.

This is a girl who, like she once was, was imprisoned.

If it weren't for Lu Jingxiu, her fate would be no better than this girl's.

Mo Yan's next target is Lu Jingxiu, so...

"Mo Yan, I will definitely catch you and bring you to justice..."
