After four years of living alone after marrying far away, he went back to his parents' home and

When Lan Yujuan heard that the van that took Qin Shuyi away had left the guesthouse, her heart sank again.

"Did the surveillance footage clearly capture the license plate number? What did that bread truck look like? Do you have a photo?"

Chen Mo calmly said, "We've checked the license plate number; it's a fake one."

"The bread truck and driver that are responsible for today's deliveries were temporarily hired from near the market. The original delivery truck had a flat tire halfway there."

"The photos of the bread truck are very clear from the surveillance footage; I have them on my phone now."

"But once you leave the guesthouse, it's mostly village roads that lead in all directions. There are no security cameras in many places, so we haven't been able to find the car's trail yet."

Lan Yujuan forced herself to calm down, but her voice trembled with nervousness:

"Chen Mo, send me a picture of that bread truck now."

"I just contacted the patriarch of the Lan family. He is very prestigious in this area and has extensive connections in the surrounding villages and towns."

"I sent the photo to the clan chief and asked him to help me look for it too."

Chen Mo replied, "Okay, I'll send you the photos now."

"Don't worry, with me here, I'll find them as soon as possible."

Although Lan Yujuan could tell from his voice that Chen Mo must have his own way of finding people.

But until the person is found, Lan Yujuan simply cannot stand still and wait for the result.

After receiving the photos, Lan Yujuan immediately sent them to the old clan chief and then called him again.

Upon learning that there were photos, the clan chief immediately said, "Alright! I'll find someone to forward them right now and share them in all the groups within a ten-mile radius."

"It's only been a short while since it got dark, and everyone's basically at a leisurely pace, so they're bound to be spotted wandering around the village."

"However, if it's just about finding someone, people might just watch the show and not be too enthusiastic..."

Upon hearing this, Lan Yujuan immediately understood:

"Chieftain, then please increase the bounty!"

"A reward of 5000 yuan will be given for providing accurate and useful clues that help find the person."

"A reward of 100,000 will be given if you can help find the bread truck and rescue the people!"

"All generous rewards can be paid in cash in person!"

Upon hearing this, the old clan chief immediately felt more confident.

"Okay! I'll arrange for someone to go look for it right now!"

After hanging up the phone, Lan Yujuan began pacing back and forth in her room, unable to sit still or calm her mind.

Just as she was getting anxious, the doorbell rang.

She went to the door and opened it; a waiter came in to bring dinner.

"Miss Lan, this is your dinner order for tonight."

"Would you like to have a meal now?"

Lan Yujuan hadn't heard any good news yet, so she had no appetite for dinner.

She immediately waved her hand and casually said:

"Thank you, please put it aside for me, I'll eat it later."

The waiter smiled slightly at her. "Okay."

Then they pushed the food cart into the room and carefully placed it on the table for her.

As Lan Yujuan analyzed the situation in her mind, she glanced at the waiter who had just entered the room out of the corner of her eye.

Whether it was her imagination or not, Lan Yujuan vaguely felt that this waiter was a bit strange.

Logically speaking, employees who can enter a villa to provide services independently should all be trained and experienced.

Why is this waiter acting so nervous tonight?

"Are you new here?" Lan Yujuan glanced at the waiter and suddenly asked.

Unexpectedly, her simple question startled the waiter. The waiter, who was setting the table, suddenly trembled, and the knife and fork clattered onto the table.

"No, no," the waiter quickly explained.

"I started working here when Qingxi B&B began its trial operation."

"I had worked in other hotels before coming here."

Upon hearing this, Lan Yujuan took another careful look at the other person, from head to toe.

The other party is right. Apart from being a little nervous, the waiter's actions and behavior were quite standard.

That means the other party's obvious nervousness is definitely not due to unfamiliarity with the business or high environmental pressure.

But it was because of something else...

So, what else could it be because of?

Lan Yujuan became suspicious, but not wanting the other party to notice, she slowly walked to the sofa next to her and sat down, pretending not to have noticed what was happening at the dining table.

While secretly glancing at the other person out of the corner of her eye, she lowered her voice and probed with her words:

"Did you hear about the incident at the guesthouse tonight?"

She could clearly sense that the waiter tensed up after hearing those words, as if he had gone into a state of alert.

"Oh? Miss Lan, which matter are you referring to?"

"Our Qingxi Guesthouse is quite large with many rooms, and it's currently peak season. With so many guests checking in every day, a lot happens..."

Seeing that she was changing the subject, Lan Yujuan interrupted her directly:

"Other people's business is none of my concern."

"What I want to ask is that my niece went for a walk at the guesthouse and then disappeared, and she hasn't been found yet."

Have you heard about this?

"A generous reward will be given for any information that helps in the search!"

After hearing this, the waiter visibly adjusted his tone and said cautiously:

"I have heard about this matter as well."

"However, Miss Lan, I'm very sorry!"

"I was helping out at the restaurant when this happened. I only overheard my colleague mentioning it when I was delivering food over here just now."

"As for the rest, I know nothing about it."

Lan Yujuan nodded lightly, "Yes, I understand."

Judging from the waitress's expression, she seemed genuinely unaware of Qin Shuyi's disappearance.

When ordinary people hear about this, they will definitely experience significant emotional fluctuations.

However, the waiter's body showed no signs of nervousness whatsoever.

It seems that what she cares about right now is something else entirely.

With dinner laid out, Lan Yujuan made no other requests, and the waiter had no reason to stay in the room any longer.

"Miss Lan, if there's nothing else, I'll head out now!"

Lan Yujuan looked down at her phone and nodded gently, "Okay."

The waiter slowly pushed the empty food cart toward the door, his gaze consciously fixed on Lan Yujuan.

With the departure date approaching and Lan Yujuan showing no sign of getting up to eat, the waiter finally couldn't hold back any longer, stopped, and reminded her:

"Miss Lan, tonight's dinner includes your favorite fish. It's best to eat it while it's hot. If the fish soup gets cold, it will have a slightly fishy smell."

"You're pregnant now, so you absolutely can't go hungry. Even if you don't have an appetite, you have to think about the baby in your belly."

Upon hearing this, Lan Yujuan immediately raised her head and looked at the waiter in surprise.

In the brief moment their eyes met, she caught a glimpse of guilt and evasion in the waiter's gaze.

The other person was just a waiter, a complete stranger. Why was he suddenly concerned about her pregnancy?

Lan Yujuan didn't say anything, but calmly got up and walked towards the dining table.

She only asked for the food to be delivered, not ordered any dishes. Unexpectedly, what was delivered tonight were all her favorite dishes.

Moreover, they are all nutritionally balanced, which is good for both pregnant women and babies. They seem very appropriate and there's nothing wrong with them.

But the more this happened, the more suspicious Lan Yujuan became.

Chen Mo had something come up tonight and had no idea whether she ordered food in her room or went to the cafeteria for a buffet.

Therefore, this meal was definitely not arranged by Chen Mo.

Her taste preferences are rather unusual, so it's unlikely to be a coincidence.

At this moment, Lan Yujuan already had a vague guess in her mind.

"This fish soup looks really good!"

As she praised the soup, she picked up a bowl and spoon to ladle it out, all the while secretly observing the expression of the waiter at the door.

Sure enough, the waiter stood at the door, staring nervously at the bowl of fish soup in her hand, and even subconsciously held his breath.

As she picked up the fish soup and brought it to her lips, as if preparing to drink, the waiter's hand, which was pushing the food cart, trembled with nervousness, the veins on the back of his hand bulging.

However, at the crucial moment, Lan Yujuan did not drink it. Instead, she turned around and looked at the waiter at the door with a puzzled expression.

"Is there anything else?"

The waiter nervously shook his head, looking flustered and helpless:

"Um, it's nothing now."

"Miss Lan, please enjoy your meal. I won't disturb you any longer!"

After saying that, the waiter, trying to appear calm, pushed the food cart out of the room and gently closed the door behind him.

As soon as the waiter left the room, Lan Yujuan immediately put down her bowl, her face darkening.

She was now almost certain that there was something wrong with the fish soup on the table.

Apart from her, the pregnant woman, everyone else in the group is now busy looking for Qin Shuyi.

At that moment, someone suddenly took advantage of the situation and tried to harm her.

So, who was this incident tonight really targeting? Who is behind it?

What is the person behind this trying to achieve?
