Mu Jiaojiao only realized in the evening that Lu Qing had been gone for a long time and had not returned.

According to Lu Qing's habits, she should have returned long ago.

After all, things were a bit chaotic in Guangzhou, and she hadn't fully recovered, so she didn't dare stay outside for too long.

Mu Jiaojiao panicked; she didn't know how to explain it to Han Bingcheng.

They had already planned to use Lu Qing to do someone a favor, thereby winning over a gang leader in Yangcheng's underworld surnamed Sun.

Mu Jiaojiao didn't even dare to imagine what Han Bingcheng would do to her if he knew she had lost someone.

Han Bingcheng may seem gentle and refined, but he is actually ruthless and doesn't value human life.

She paced back and forth in the room in a panic, completely at a loss.

If this were in Kunming, she could ask someone for help, but here, she doesn't know anyone.

Just when she was at her wit's end, Han Bingcheng returned.

Han Bingcheng could tell from her expression that something must have happened.

He glanced around the room and asked in confusion, "Where's Lu Qing?"

Mu Jiaojiao looked at Han Bingcheng awkwardly and said helplessly, "I don't know, she went out for a walk today and hasn't come back."

Tan Bingcheng sat on the sofa, his fingers tapping lightly on the coffee table, ruling out one possible reason for Lu Qing's disappearance.

He could only think of one possibility: someone had taken Lu Qing away.

Lu Yang definitely wouldn't pick her up, but Mu Jiaojiao had mentioned that Lu Qing had a lover named Shen Xuwen.

Lu Yang has gone back to his hometown, and Shen Xuwen works at the local Bureau of Industry and Commerce.

Shen Xuwen might inquire about Lu Qing's whereabouts from Lu Yang, and given Lu Yang's personality, he's very likely to try and extort a hefty sum from Shen Xuwen.

As long as Shen Xuwen meets his requirements, Lu Yang will definitely reveal Lu Qing's whereabouts.

"Check for me if there's a young man near my house who's been asking around for our address."

Han Bingcheng used a landline to call his bodyguard outside, who immediately went out to investigate.

Half an hour later, the bodyguard called back: "Around 3 p.m. this afternoon, a young man did indeed ask around for your home address."

"Later, someone saw the young man carrying a woman away, and the woman was crying the whole time."

Han Bingcheng curled the corners of his lips, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. He simply responded with a "yes" and hung up the phone.

Mu Jiaojiao said awkwardly, "Could it be that Shen Xuwen took her back to the provincial capital?"

Han Bingcheng sneered: "If you were Lu Qing, would you go back to the provincial capital?"

Mu Jiaojiao shook her head without hesitation: "Impossible, the Zhou family has been looking for Lu Qing."

“Once Lu Qing returns to the provincial capital, she will likely be found. Not only do I know that Shen Xuwen and she are lovers, but the Zhou family also knows.”

Han Bingcheng thought for a moment, then made another call to his subordinates.

Tell them to go to the train station and check which train Shen Xuwen bought the ticket for.

Mu Jiaojiao cautiously looked at Han Bingcheng and asked, "Do you want to eat?"

Han Bingcheng waved his hand, and Mu Jiaojiao immediately understood, carefully placing each of the prepared dishes on the table.

Han Bingcheng then got up and walked to the dining table. He didn't sit down immediately, but touched Mu Jiaojiao's face.

Mu Jiaojiao did not feel any warmth; in fact, she felt terrified.

Han Bingcheng said quietly, "Jiaojiao, you wouldn't have been so careless before. I don't want you to make this mistake again."

"If we can't bring Lu Qing back this time, I'll have to trouble you to persuade Boss Sun not to oppose me."

Mu Jiaojiao was naturally unwilling to accompany Boss Sun. If she really went, her relationship with Han Bingcheng would come to an end.

Han Bingcheng is a germaphobe. If she has slept with Boss Sun, Han Bingcheng will definitely never touch her again.

Mu Jiaojiao hardened her heart. If she found Lu Qing's whereabouts, she would immediately go and bring Lu Qing back herself, and she would never give her a chance to escape.

"Don't worry, whether she wants to come back or not, I will bring her back."

“I treated her so well before, and even saved her life. How dare she treat me like this? She is so ungrateful.”

Mu Jiaojiao immediately pledged her loyalty, clenching her fists and trembling slightly.

She has a good life now all thanks to Han Bingcheng. Without Han Bingcheng, she would have nothing.

Han Bingcheng nodded in satisfaction and sat down at the table to eat slowly and deliberately, seemingly unaffected by Lu Qing's escape.

Mu Jiaojiao quietly sat down opposite him, picked up her chopsticks and started eating, but it tasted like nothing at all.

An hour later, the bodyguard finally called back.

Mu Jiaojiao hurried to pick it up, and heard the bodyguard say, "Shen Xuwen bought a ticket to Harbin."

Han Bingcheng couldn't help but laugh: "Your hometown is Harbin, go back and visit, and come back within a week."

Mu Jiaojiao understood perfectly well that Han Bingcheng was giving her a week to find Lu Qing and bring her back.

Mu Jiaojiao nodded quickly; she dared not disobey Han Bingcheng.

She had to force a smile and say, "Don't worry, I will definitely bring her back."

Han Bingcheng nodded in satisfaction and continued eating.

Mu Jiaojiao finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then she was thinking about where to start in finding Lu Qing's whereabouts.

Harbin is a large city with a sparse population. Trying to find someone in a provincial capital city is like finding a needle in a haystack.

An awkward silence fell between the two. Han Bingcheng finished his meal first, then got up and headed towards the study.

Mu Jiaojiao breathed a heavy sigh of relief after the study door closed.

She put down her chopsticks, immediately took out her mobile phone, and ran to the balcony to call her brother.

"Brother, do me a favor, find a woman named Lu Qing..."

Mu Jiaojiao said everything she wanted to say in one breath.

Mu Yao said unhurriedly, "I have to go to work, how can I have the time to help you find people every day?"

Mu Jiaojiao took a deep breath. She knew from reading the newspapers that the factories in Harbin had been doing worse and worse in recent years.

What's so busy Mu Yao has to do? He just doesn't want to help.

Now that she needed his help, she could only humbly continue, "Brother, please, if you're willing to help me find someone, I'll give you 200 yuan."

"If you can find Lu Qing, don't alert her yet. I'll give you 500 yuan."

Mu Yao touched his nose and said, "Transfer 500 to me first, and I'll go find it for you. Don't dawdle with me."

Mu Jiaojiao sighed: "I don't have that much money on me right now. I'll transfer you four hundred. You'd better come find me quickly."

"I was afraid she would run away in the next couple of days, and when I got there, it was empty."

Mu Yao sneered: "You're fucking trying to fob me off with 500 yuan. It's only because you're my sister."

"Her bounty is still on the news. If I find her and tell the police, I can earn several thousand dollars."
