Disliked by everyone? She is clearly the most beloved one in the rich family!

Meng Yingnian was in his spacious and bright living room, but his heart was like the turbulent sea, unable to calm down for a long time.

He sat stiffly on the soft sofa, his fingers usually steady and strong.

At this moment, he was uncontrollably and unconsciously knocking on the armrest of the sofa, making a light and chaotic "tapping" sound.

His eyes seemed to be attracted by a magnet, and from time to time he eagerly glanced at the quaint clock on the wall.

Every tiny tick of the second hand seemed to strike heavily on his heartstrings.

Yu Zhi has always been well-behaved and sensible, with a regular schedule, and has never been out so late.

Not to mention that there was not even a single message of safety.

The uneasy feeling in Meng Yingnian's heart spread rapidly like wild weeds growing wildly in spring.

A strong premonition grew in my heart, as if something extremely bad was quietly happening in some unknown corner.

Finally, Meng Yingnian could no longer endure the torment of the long wait, and he quickly took out his cell phone.

The slender fingers operated skillfully and eagerly opened Yu Zhi's positioning system.

The cold light of the phone screen reflected on his stern face.

On the screen, Yu Zhi's location icon was like a lonely light spot, flickering in an extremely remote area.

It was an abandoned industrial area, and the map showed that the surrounding area was desolate and uninhabited.

Meng Yingnian's brows were instantly furrowed, forming a deep "chuan" character.

He knew very well that with Yu Zhi's personality and daily habits, it would be absolutely impossible for him to take the initiative to go to such a remote and desolate place.

Unless something unexpected happened to him.

This thought was like an ice-cold dagger, piercing straight into Meng Yingnian's heart.

His heart sank suddenly, as if falling into an endless dark abyss.

Without thinking, he immediately called Yu Zhi.

All that came from the receiver was the cold, mechanical tone of "No one answered."

Again and again, it struck his nerves like a sledgehammer.

Meng Yingnian's fingers began to tremble slightly uncontrollably.

But relying on the strong psychological qualities he had developed over many years of working in the business world, he quickly forced himself to calm down.

He knew very well that panicking at the moment would be of no help. The most urgent task was to take effective action as soon as possible to save Yu Zhi.

Meng Yingnian quickly adjusted his thoughts and contacted the police as soon as possible.

After the call is connected.

In clear and concise language, he explained to the police in detail the circumstances of Yu Zhi's disappearance and accurately provided Yu Zhi's location information.

After receiving this emergency call, the police demonstrated extremely high professionalism and efficiency.

The emergency response mechanism was immediately activated, police forces were quickly deployed, and a comprehensive operation was launched.

At the same time, Meng Yingnian also urgently summoned his well-trained bodyguards and experienced mercenaries.

His expression was stern, his eyes were firm, and in a low but authoritative voice he ordered them to move out immediately.

Meng Yingnian knew very well that the person who dared to attack Yu Zhi must not be an ordinary criminal.

There may be a huge and dangerous force hidden behind it.

In this situation, rash action is likely to alert the enemy and even put Yu Zhi in a more dangerous situation.

Therefore, he calmly gave orders to his bodyguards to go to the location quietly.

First carefully investigate the situation on the scene, and do not act rashly before you fully understand the situation.

Inside the abandoned factory, the dark and damp environment was filled with an air of decay and decline.

The members of the cult sat around a shabby table covered with mottled marks.

Everyone had fanatical eyes and was talking excitedly about their absurd "great plan".

The leader of the organization stood among the crowd, his face filled with almost insane excitement.

He waved his arms and spoke with saliva flying at his mouth.

"As long as we can gather the power of the twelve zodiac animals, we will be able to create a true 'dragon'."

"By that time, the whole world will tremble at our feet and submit to our supreme power!"

The other members listened with fascination, as if they had already seen the illusory "dragon" taking off in front of them.

A beautiful vision where the whole world is under their control.

They all excitedly echoed the leader's words, and their voices rose and fell, echoing in the empty factory, which seemed particularly strange.

They had no idea that the positioning system carried by Yu Zhi had become a precise signal transmitter.

Their hiding place was exposed without reservation under the noses of Meng Yingnian and the police.

All of this stems from Meng Yingnian's foresight, in order to prevent similar sudden dangerous situations.

He had already installed the most advanced positioning device on Yu Zhi to protect his safety at all times.

At the same time, the bodyguards sent by Meng Yingnian were approaching the factory cautiously.

They are well-trained and divided into several action teams, like ghosts in the night.

The factory was surrounded tightly from different directions.

Each bodyguard is equipped with advanced night vision and thermal imaging equipment.

With the help of these high-tech equipment, they carefully explored every corner of the factory in the dark.

Don't miss any abnormal situation.

Soon, they used the equipment to find the room where Yu Zhi and Zhang Yu were imprisoned.

He quickly reported this important situation to Meng Yingnian through encrypted communication equipment.

After receiving the report from the bodyguards, Meng Yingnian breathed a sigh of relief.

But then, it was enveloped by an even stronger sense of tension.

He knew in his heart that the number of members within the cult was unknown.

And based on past experience, they are very likely to be armed with various dangerous weapons.

In this situation where the enemy's strength is unclear, launching a rash attack may very likely put Yu Zhi's life in greater danger.

So he quickly contacted the police.

The two sides held an emergency meeting to discuss and formulate a detailed and comprehensive rescue plan.

The police decisively dispatched an elite special police team, ready to storm into the factory and rescue the hostages in the shortest possible time.

At this time in the factory, the leader of the cult was still immersed in his crazy fantasy.

He talked incessantly about his grand plan.

"The Feng family and Meng Yingnian are both targets that we must conquer on our way forward."

"As long as we can successfully control them, we will have access to endless resources and powerful forces."

"By then, the mysterious power of the twelve zodiac animals will be at our disposal, and the great plan of creating a dragon will no longer be just an unattainable dream, but will soon become a reality!"

His words were filled with fanatical ambition and unrealistic fantasies, like the whispers of a devil, echoing in this gloomy factory.

Yu Zhi and Zhang Yu were tied up tightly on the side, and they were terrified when they heard these crazy remarks.

They never imagined that the ambition of this cult organization was so big, far beyond their imagination.

Yu Zhi turned slightly, leaned close to Zhang Yu's ear, and spoke in a low voice.

"We must find a way to delay time. Meng Yingnian will definitely come to rescue us."

Although his voice was weak, it revealed a firm belief.

Zhang Yu nodded vigorously, a determined glint in his eyes, and responded softly.

"I will fully cooperate with you, and we will find a solution together."

At this moment, a slight and strange noise suddenly came from outside the factory, and the sound seemed particularly abrupt in this silent environment.

The members of the cult organization instantly became alert, like frightened birds.

The leader's face darkened and he quickly waved his hand, signaling several strong men to go out and check the situation.

However, these members had just stepped out of the factory gate.

He was quickly subdued by the bodyguards and special police who had been lying in ambush in the dark.

They didn't even have time to scream before they were firmly restrained and unable to move.

The head of the factory keenly sensed that something was wrong and his face instantly turned pale as paper.

"Oh no, someone's coming! Quick, take the hostages and let's retreat through the back door!"

He shouted loudly and frantically directed other members.

However, his words had not yet finished.

The dilapidated gate of the factory was suddenly slammed open by a powerful force, making a deafening noise.

Immediately afterwards, the SWAT team members, wearing black combat uniforms and holding advanced weapons, rushed into the factory like a surging tide.

In an instant, the sounds of gunfire and shouting intertwined and instantly filled the entire factory space, breaking the original silence.

The members of the cult were frightened by this sudden change and fled in panic like headless flies.

But the well-trained special police quickly took action.

With superb tactics and shooting skills, he subdued them one by one.

Meng Yingnian followed closely behind the special police team and rushed into the factory anxiously.

His eyes eagerly searched for Yu Zhi's figure in the chaotic crowd and dim corners.

Finally, in a remote corner of the factory, he saw Yu Zhi and Zhang Yu tied up.

His heart suddenly tightened and he rushed over quickly. With trembling hands, he untied the rope on Yu Zhi's body and asked anxiously as he did so.

"Are you okay? Are you injured?"

His voice was filled with concern and worry.

Yu Zhi raised his head, looked at Meng Yingnian who was anxious, and shook his head slightly.

Although his face was a little pale after experiencing this thrilling ordeal, there was still a determined light in his eyes.

"I'm fine, thanks to Zhang Yu, he's always with me."

He looked at Zhang Yu beside him with gratitude.

Upon hearing this, Meng Yingnian turned his head to look at Zhang Yu, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, including gratitude and a hint of surprise.

But soon, he nodded slightly and said sincerely: "Thank you."

Zhang Yu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, without saying much.

At this moment of life and death, all the conflicts and competitions of the past seem to have vanished into thin air.

With all the members of the cult being captured, this thrilling crisis was finally successfully resolved.

Meng Yingnian held Yu Zhi's hand tightly, as if it was the most precious treasure in his life, and was afraid that he would disappear from his side again.

In the darkness of the night, the flashing police lights illuminated the open space outside the factory in a patchwork of red and blue.

The police were busy and methodical, escorting the captured cult members into the police car.

The scene was busy and orderly.

Although this crisis has passed, the impact it brought is like ripples, echoing in everyone's heart for a long time.

Meng Yingnian took Yu Zhi and Zhang Yu away from the abandoned factory.

Along the way, Yu Zhi sat in the back seat of the car, looking at the night sky passing by quickly outside the window, feeling a lingering fear.

Meng Yingnian observed Yu Zhi's condition through the rearview mirror from time to time, his eyes full of heartache and worry.

Zhang Yuze sat quietly aside, his mind full of thoughts.

After experiencing this life-and-death test, his view of Yu Zhi completely changed, and he began to reflect on his previous narrow-mindedness and jealousy.

After returning home, Meng Yingnian asked Yu Zhi to go and rest first, but Yu Zhi insisted on understanding the follow-up situation with Meng Yingnian.

Meng Yingnian couldn't persuade him and had to agree.

The police soon reported that during the interrogation of the cult members, they found that the organization was far larger and more complex than they had imagined.

Behind it is a complex network of interests, involving illegal transactions in multiple fields and even collusion with some foreign forces.

And their crazy plan of "gathering the power of the twelve zodiac animals to create a dragon" is not just nonsense.

It turned out that they were looking for people with certain special destinies among the twelve zodiac signs.

They attempted to use these people's blood and special physiques to perform an evil ritual in order to achieve their ulterior motives.

For example, controlling people's hearts and acquiring huge wealth.
