Fu Yanchen's eyes were red, and he held the found phone tightly in his hand, as if he were holding onto his last hope.

When Fu Yanchen saw Shen Mengxia's phone screen saver, he could no longer control his emotions and roared, "Go find her! Search every inch of her body, dig three feet into the ground! If you can't find her in a week, search for a month. If you can't find her in a month, search for a year! In short, find her alive or dead!"

His voice boomed like thunder, making everyone present's eardrums ring. His angry and resolute words left no doubt about his determination to achieve his goal.

For a moment, the entire scene fell into a deathly silence. Everyone was stunned by his strong reaction and lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

Her phone's screen saver prominently displayed a photo of Fu Yanchen's exquisite profile; no one knew when the girl had secretly taken it.

Old Master Fu was in poor health, and Fu Yanchen and Ye Huaiting kept it a secret from him.

Ye Huaiting has been searching tirelessly these past few days, which Qiao Wanwan has witnessed and resents. She has tried to persuade Ye Huaiting to rest many times, but to no avail.

People often only learn to cherish things after they've lost them.

These past few days, Shen Mengxia has been missing, and Ye Huaiting is extremely anxious. Even though he now has his white moonlight, Qiao Wanwan, by his side, his mind is filled with memories of Shen Mengxia, like a movie playing in his head.

She remembered how Shen Mengxia always picked her up after she got drunk and took care of her all night. She even went to take a driving test specifically for this, though she failed.

Every year on Ye Huaiting's birthday, Shen Mengxia would prepare all sorts of surprises for him well in advance, such as handmade keychains and hand-knitted scarves. However, Ye Huaiting would always find them disgusting and would throw them away long ago.

"Hey, wake up, are you alright?" Shen Mengxia opened her eyes groggily and saw a handsome, sunny face staring at her with concern.

Shen Mengxia then remembered that after she turned off her phone, she had been hiding behind the curtains, but perhaps because she had made too much noise turning off her phone, the assassin began searching the entire room.

Seeing the assassin heading towards the curtains, she hurriedly hid in a wooden box behind them, accidentally dropping her phone in the process. Luckily, the assassin was attracted by the commotion outside and quickly left.

Looking at her surroundings, Shen Mengxia roughly understood what had happened. Someone must have moved the box, and she had followed it here.

Thinking of this, Shen Mengxia cleared her throat awkwardly and said, "Hello, my name is Shen Mengxia, nice to meet you! May I ask where this place is?"

"Hehe..." He smiled slightly, revealing a hint of interest. "You're quite an interesting girl. What are you doing hiding in the box?"

As he spoke, he took two steps forward, walked to the box, and looked down at the figure inside who was awkwardly picking at his fingers.

Sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating his handsome face and outlining his deep and resolute features. His striking eyebrows, bright eyes, and high-bridged nose, combined with his impeccably tailored police uniform, made him appear even more dignified and dashing.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Jiang Zeyu, and I am from the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Binhai City Public Security Bureau."

"Now, come out here and explain to me what's going on. Don't try anything funny!" With that, he raised an eyebrow, his eyes revealing a hint of authority and unquestionable authority.

“I’m not a bad person. I was forced to hide in the box to avoid bad guys. Later, the box was sealed up for some reason. I didn’t dare to make any noise, and I don’t know how I ended up here.”

"I'm a second-year graduate student majoring in Computer Science at Tsinghua University in Haijing City. You can check with my school if you don't believe me." Shen Mengxia blurted out, already feeling embarrassed, when her stomach started growling.

"Hungry? There's not much good food at my house, how about instant noodles?" Jiang Zeyu said as he turned to get the instant noodles.

The instant noodles were ready in no time. Watching the girl in front of him, dressed in designer clothes and expensive jewelry, wolfing down her noodles, Jiang Zeyu felt that this girl's identity was definitely not simple.

“I know you’re probably still hiding something, but I’m not in a hurry. You’ll tell me when you’re ready. I’ll verify what you’ve said. This is my home; you can stay here for now. I’m going to work. We’ll talk when I get back.” Jiang Zeyu finished speaking and put on his shoes to leave.

"Aren't you afraid I'll empty your house?" Shen Mengxia blinked her big eyes, asking her question in a cute way. "Come on, with your outfit, you think you can empty my house?"
