The phone rang, and Meng Yingnian picked it up. It was Yu Zhi calling. Meng Yingnian smiled, wondering what Yu Zhi wanted to talk to him about. Could it be that she missed him?

This situation is somewhat rare, Yu Zhi has never been so clingy before.

"What's wrong, baby? Do you miss me?" Meng Yingnian asked with a smile.

Then he heard Yu Zhi's anxious voice: "Meng Yingnian, don't talk about this for now, my master and senior brother are missing!"

Meng Yingnian was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Yu Zhi called him to talk about this. He was secretly jealous in his heart. Why did Yu Zhi care so much about Fenghua's affairs?

As for Master Yi, Yu Zhi had reason to worry about him.

Meng Yingnian comforted Yu Zhi: "Don't worry, calm down. They are two living people with cell phones. How could they not be able to find you? Maybe they are busy and didn't have time to see your message?"

At this moment, Meng Yingnian has not yet realized the seriousness of the matter.

Yu Zhi bit his lip, anxious and angry, and shook his head, then realized that Meng Yingnian couldn't see his movements.

"That's not the case, they really disappeared out of thin air! I was wondering yesterday if they didn't see my message. I contacted them again today, but I haven't received a reply. I asked our mutual friends, and no one knew where they went!" Yu Zhi said anxiously.

Meng Yingnian frowned, something was definitely amiss. He asked, "Could it be that they went to a place with poor signal to collect materials?"

Yu Zhi had thought about this situation, but he quickly denied it to himself, and now he denied it to Meng Yingnian: "Impossible, they will definitely notify me when they go out to collect folk songs. Master will definitely be worried about them if he knows. They won't leave without saying goodbye."

There was a moment of silence on the other side of the phone as Meng Yingnian was thinking about how to solve this problem.

Meng Yingnian quickly came up with a preliminary solution: "Baby, there's no point in worrying now. I'll immediately find a private detective to investigate this matter. If the private detective can't solve it, we'll call the police. If even the police can't solve it, we won't be able to come up with a better solution."

After saying that, Meng Yingnian comforted him, "Don't worry too much about them. They are all adults and have a certain ability to protect themselves. Maybe they will come back on their own in a few days."

Yu Zhi was still a little uneasy, but he couldn't think of any good solution, so he could only nod and hang up the phone.

After ending the call, Meng Yingnian did not hesitate and immediately contacted a private detective he was familiar with.

The people Meng Yingnian knew were all the top private detectives in the industry. They had helped him with many things before and were very capable and trustworthy.

After asking Meng Yingnian for help, Yu Zhi did not give up. He began to think about who Fenghua and Master Yi might have contacted.

Yu Zhi contacted several acquaintances to ask, but the answers he got disappointed him. They all said that they had not had any contact with the two recently.

One of them was a friend of Master Yi and a very famous sculptor in the industry. Yu Zhi took a lot of effort to contact him but did not get the result he wanted.

After being treated sarcastically by the master, Yu Zhi could only comfort himself that this was all for the purpose of finding the whereabouts of Fenghua and Master Yi, and it was normal for an artist to have a little temper.

When he returned home that night and saw Meng Yingnian, Yu Zhi immediately asked anxiously, "Is there any news about Master and the others?"

Meng Yingnian snorted and asked him, "Are you only concerned about Fenghua and Master Yi? Why didn't you ask me if I had a hard day at work?"

Yu Zhi pushed him and said speechlessly: "Okay, okay, you've worked hard. So any news? I'm really worried that something might happen to them!"

Hearing Meng Yingnian sigh, Yu Zhi already had an idea in his mind.

"There's no news yet," Meng Yingnian continued to comfort Yu Zhi, "but don't worry too much. It takes them some time to find information and smooth things over. It's normal."

Yu Zhi frowned and said nothing.

In the next few days, Yu Zhi kept calling Feng Hua and Master Yi from time to time, but received no response.

Meng Yingnian's mood became increasingly solemn. Yu Zhi's message had not received a response, and the private detective had not found any useful information. This was too wrong. It was very likely that something had happened to Fenghua and Master Yi.

But he didn't want this to really happen, because he knew Yu Zhi would be sad about their disappearance.

A few days later, Meng Yingnian sent all the information found by the private detective to Yu Zhi, but did not receive a reply for a long time.

Meng Yingnian knew that Yu Zhi was thinking. This information was really useless, and he must be thinking about what to do next.

Feng Hua hasn't appeared for such a long time, but his family doesn't seem to be anxious at all. The private detective thinks this is a good entry point. The Feng family must know his whereabouts.

It was difficult for the private detectives to contact the Feng family directly. They found the address of the Feng family mansion and tried to bribe the servants to ask about Feng Hua, but the servants seemed to have been informed and kept their mouths shut.

They also sent people to observe secretly outside the Feng family mansion, but they did not see any trace of Feng Hua.

Yu Zhi was extremely anxious and immediately went to the address given by the private detective.

However, he was stopped outside the door.

"Who are you? Who are you looking for?" the guard asked vigilantly.

Yu Zhi forced a smile, not wanting to conflict with the guard, but he already had an idea in his mind that the guard would most likely not let him in.

"I'm Yu Zhi, Feng Hua's junior fellow apprentice. He asked me to come."

The man outside the door looked Yu Zhi up and down and refused bluntly: "Please go back. The Feng family does not accept guests."

Yu Zhi wanted to get some more information out of him, but no matter what he said, the guard stopped talking.

His heart sank to the bottom. If there was nothing wrong with the Feng family, the guards would not have this attitude.

On the way out, Yu Zhi informed Meng Yingnian that he was going to call the police.

Meng Yingnian didn't object. If there were any other way, they would definitely not choose to call the police. But now, the only option left for them was to call the police.

Yu Zhi went directly to the nearby police station.

"I want to call the police. My master and senior brother are missing."

A policeman came immediately to talk to Yu Zhi about the situation.

"How do i call you?"

"Yu Zhi."

The policeman nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Yu, my last name is Wang, you can call me Officer Wang. Please tell us about the case."

Yu Zhi immediately told the police all the information he had, and Officer Wang's expression gradually became serious.

He originally thought that even if Fenghua and Master Yi were really missing, it would not be Yu Zhi who should call the police, but their families. The matter involving Yu Zhi was most likely just a minor one.

But the more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong. It seemed that the two of them really couldn't connect with each other.

After listening, Officer Wang immediately asked his colleagues to start verifying.

Officer Wang smiled and said, "Mr. Yu, please don't worry. We will verify the situation and start an investigation immediately if it is true."

Yu Zhi nodded. Although he was very anxious, he had to go through this process if he wanted the police to help him.

Officer Wang quickly found out the contact information of Fenghua and Master Yi, and contacted them through various channels, but received no response.

His colleagues quickly verified Yu Zhi's information and found it to be basically true.

Officer Wang told Yu Zhi, "Mr. Yu, we have already filed a case. We will immediately have professionals begin the investigation and discuss the search plan. Please wait a moment."

Afterwards, Officer Wang and several other police officers began the meeting.

Yu Zhi sat outside waiting anxiously.

After a while, Officer Wang came out and said to Yu Zhi, "Mr. Yu, we are initially planning to go to the Feng family to see if there are any clues. If you don't have anything to do, please come with us."

Yu Zhi smiled at the policeman and nodded, "I'm fine. I'll go with you. Thank you for your help."

"Mr. Yu, you're too polite. This is my job. Let's set off now. I'm afraid something might happen if we delay too long." Officer Wang waved his hand and said.

This makes sense. Fenghua doesn't know what the situation is now. Any delay may lead to disaster. For Fenghua's safety, they must act immediately.

After a brief exchange, the two immediately headed to the Feng family residence.

When they arrived at the gate of the Feng family residence, the guard had been replaced, but it was still difficult to negotiate.

Yu Zhi went to communicate with him first, but got almost the same answer as before. Yu Zhi didn't believe that these two people had not been specifically instructed.

Officer Wang stepped forward and showed his ID. "Officer, we are here to investigate Fenghua's disappearance. Please cooperate with us."

The guard glanced at Officer Wang warily.

"Please wait a moment. I need to ask something. I'm just an employee and can't make decisions on my own."

The Feng family didn't seem to expect that the police would come looking for them, and they didn't make any contingency plans.

Yu Zhi watched him make a phone call and quietly explained the current situation, but he didn't know what the other party responded.

The guard hung up the phone, opened the door for Yu Zhi and Officer Wang, and led them into the house.

The Feng family's servants seemed to be ready and were waiting for the two of them at the entrance.

"Why did you alarm the police? My young master is at home, please come in!"

The servant immediately took the two to Fenghua's study.

Fenghua was sitting at the table reading a book.

Yu Zhi couldn't hold back his emotions and immediately shouted excitedly: "Fenghua!"

Hearing this, Fenghua turned her head to take a look, then continued reading her book.

Officer Wang breathed a sigh of relief. Fenghua being home saved them a lot of trouble. Otherwise, they would have had to use a lot of methods to investigate the case. They had already exhausted all the conventional methods in the information Yu Zhi had given them, but hadn't found anything useful.

"Mr. Yu, now that we have found Mr. Feng, let's leave first. Let's go back and discuss how to find your master's whereabouts."

"But..." Yu Zhi said hesitantly.

He felt something was wrong. Fenghua's current behavior was too unusual. Why did it seem like she didn't know him?

Fenghua has a cheerful personality, sometimes even a little eccentric. He is rarely so quiet.

Needless to say, Yu Zhi and Feng Hua have been friends for many years. Even if she was just an ordinary classmate, Feng Hua would not show such a cold expression.

If it were in the past, Fenghua would have jumped up, rushed to Yu Zhi, patted him, asked him why he suddenly came to see her, and then excitedly asked her servants to prepare delicious food and drinks for him, thinking about how the two of them could have fun together.

How could he be so calm? He saw Yu Zhi as if he were a stranger. This was so wrong!

After hearing Yu Zhi's words, Officer Wang asked, "Hmm? What's wrong, Mr. Yu? Do you have any other questions?"

Yu Zhi shook his head and didn't continue.

In fact, he suspected that Fenghua might have been coerced, but now that Officer Wang was here, he couldn't say anything.

Even if he told Officer Wang his guess, Officer Wang probably wouldn't believe it. Being coerced in one's own home was such a new thing. Moreover, Officer Wang didn't understand Fenghua's character, so his guess couldn't serve as evidence.

"Fenghua, I'm glad you're okay. Have you seen where your master went?" Yu Zhi asked.

Fenghua just shook his head.

This answer was within Yu Zhi's expectations, and he deepened his thoughts that Fenghua might indeed have been coerced.

"Thank you for cooperating with us in handling the case. We may need you to provide some additional information later, and I will contact you then," said Officer Wang.

The Feng family servant nodded hurriedly, "Thank you for your hard work, Officer. We will cooperate."

Afterwards, the servant immediately took Yu Zhi and Officer Wang away, as if there was a ghost chasing them.

Yu Zhi had no choice but to leave first. Knowing that Feng Hua was fine, he felt relieved. Master Yi’s disappearance was most likely related to the Feng family. The rest of the things needed to be planned carefully.
