Miss Lin is a hunky VTuber today?

"Okay, Brother Ruoye."

The conversation was unusually brief, ending abruptly. Xu Lin didn't even glance at his phone before dialing another number, effortlessly juggling two jobs.

"Boss, Qianqian is missing. Have someone go to these locations and let me know if they find her."

"Brother Lin, the kids you recruited this time are quite troublesome. Remember to treat me to a meal later."

"Forget it, I've found you three top-notch streamers, so just wait and see if you'll treat me to dinner."

Xu Lin abruptly hung up the phone, told Youzi to send every location to the boss, and continued dialing.

"Sister Yan, could you do me a favor and help me find out where Qianqian is by looking for her connections at school?"

"Huh? Okay, okay, it's the middle of the night, I'll ask for you later."

Sister Yan seemed to have already gone to sleep, but hearing Xu Lin's serious tone, she still got up to help.

After all, the last time Rin-chan spoke to her in this tone was when the two of them teamed up to take down some thugs around the school, but that commotion was much bigger than this ww

"Wind chimes, you know what I mean?"

"Yes, yes, I'll go post it on the forum right away..."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. By the way, please inform the others that I will treat everyone to dinner when they come to Yehai later."

As he hung up the phone, Xu Lin stopped in front of the World Trade Plaza that Youzi had mentioned.

"Let's go, let's search this area first and see if anyone is here."

"Sis, you're really willing to do this! Not to mention Fengling and Sister Yan, getting Shuangxue to help with this is no easy task. Are you sure it's okay to just use up this favor like this?"

"Isn't it all for you?"

Xu Lin looked at Youzi with a dark expression and complained irritably.

All these years, doesn't this little brat have any idea how many guests he's treated to?!

"Hey hehe! Bro, you're the best~!"

Yuzu stuck out her little tongue, trying to fool everyone, but this trick might work on anyone but not on Rin-chan.

So, poor Yuzu was sent to the most crowded place to find someone.

Chapter 72, Section 453: Rivals in Love Meet with Extraordinary Eyes... Red?

The clattering of the keyboard echoed incessantly in the dark little room. For Shuangxue, checking a person's 24-hour travel history in just half an hour was not a difficult task; it was just a tedious data query. The workload was heavy, but she wasn't too tired.

"Last one, confirm the end."

After stopping her constant tapping, Shuangxue took a deep breath, stretched her joints, and then made a phone call.

"Brother Ruoye, I've checked. There are no travel records in the past 24 hours. Apart from taking a taxi, there shouldn't be any other way to leave the city. However, I also didn't find any hotel check-in records. Please keep an eye on it."

"Okay, thank you for your help."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Lin sighed with some melancholy.

That's why she dislikes those literary girls who read all sorts of books; they somehow learned counter-surveillance techniques and managed to erase all traces of their activities.

I just got news from Sister Yan that they haven't found him. The earliest recorded sighting around the school was a day ago, so we can rule out the possibility that someone deliberately helped to cover it up.

That leaves only one possibility.

"Boss, you haven't found anyone over there either, right?"

"Hey, don't even mention it. We found them, but we didn't catch them. They should be in the Xuhua Street area. Brother Lin, you should head over there."

"...I see."

Xu Lintou's pain suddenly intensified.

"Sis, no!"

Just then, Yuzu returned. Although she looked a little anxious, she didn't seem too worried.

"I hope you still have that kind of energy left, Yuzu."

The white-haired girl gave her younger sister a pitying look, which made her scalp tingle.

"Wha...what's wrong?"

"It's alright, we've found the person. Come with me in the car."

Xu Lin shook his head and didn't say anything more, but his pitying gaze never stopped, which made Youzi quite scared.

........

Where is Xuhua Street?

In fact, the pomelo growers were more familiar with this area than Xu Lin was.

Ok.

"Sis...you wouldn't be!?"

Halfway there, Yuzu suddenly realized something and asked incredulously.

"Is that it? I never expected that your artsy girl had read psychology books."

Strictly speaking, this was Xu Lin's mistake; he failed to read Qianqian's true inner thoughts.

"...Am I going to die?"

Yuzu was so frightened that tears welled up in her eyes, and she was completely terrified.

Although her older brother sometimes teases her, he's never this bad! Qianqian has a slight yandere tendency!

"It shouldn't be that bad, right?"

Where is Xuhua Street?

Ok.

The house that Iris was renting was in that neighborhood.

.........

Tea or cola?

The petite girl with long, straight black hair asked softly, her expression indifferent, as if the person who came was just a junior who had not yet debuted.

"Tea will do."

The quiet, long-haired, bookish girl showed no embarrassment at suddenly disturbing her senior, and nodded softly.

"There's no tea at home, so let's have some cola."

Hmm... I guess it's just a senior-junior relationship?

"Tell me, why did you make such a fuss to come find me?"

The entire ESC club was abuzz with excitement. Even if Tobi was slow on the uptake, she could guess something was going on. And that vague guess turned into a sudden realization when she saw the disheveled girl who had come to their door.

"Actually, I didn't expect it to escalate to this extent."

Qianqian gave a wry smile and continued.

"I just want to meet you alone after Yuzu leaves."

"You underestimate your predecessors."

Yuanchu smiled, a hint of reminiscence in her eyes, and chuckled softly.

"Those are a bunch of demons and monsters, it wouldn't be surprising if they caused any trouble."

"Hmm... I've learned something new."

Qianqian had no answer, only nodding and sighing.

"I'll apologize later, so, Tobi-chan-senpai, can we talk about something serious?"

Qianqian glanced at the time on her phone, her expression gradually becoming serious.

"Go ahead and tell me, we probably have about thirty minutes left."

Yuan Chu also checked her phone, but she was looking at the messages in the group chat. After learning about Xu Lin and the others' actions, it wasn't difficult to estimate when they arrived here.

"Actually, five minutes is enough. I just want to ask you a question in person."

Qianqian put her phone back in her bag, and, feeling thirsty, took a big gulp of her drink. Completely abandoning all pretenses, she let out a loud burp without a care for her image.

Do you like pomelos?

"Just for this?"

The kite asked in surprise.

"Yes, this is it."

Qianqian nodded and added.

"This is very important, please answer carefully."

"If I had to put it into words, it would probably be..."

..........

Qianqian was well aware that feelings were ambiguous.

So her real intention in asking this question wasn't to get a definite answer; she just wanted to see Tobi-Hina as a person and her attitude towards Yuzu.

While working at our company, I heard some rumors about the two of them, but they weren't very accurate, so I went to ask them in person.

That's always been her way of doing things—tough with a touch of stubbornness, and she's a bit inflexible.

But today is different.

Yuan Chu was not quite the person she had imagined, and the relationship between the two of them was also not quite what she knew.

Although the girl was dressed sloppily, her demeanor was not exactly the same as her appearance in the live stream; in fact, they were completely unrelated.

For a newbie in the VTuber world, Qianqian simply couldn't understand this huge contrast.
