She was locked in the swimming complex.

Murong Qiao peeked through the door gap. The sight of the lock made her mood plummet.

She recalled the scene she had just seen. That person was slender and it was obvious that she was a girl. Since she had walked away unhurriedly, she must have planned all of this.

But…

Murong Qiao gave up the option of unlocking the door. She just turned around and looked at the empty swimming pool.

It was s.p.a.cious and bright, but she was alone.

Other than that, there was nothing.

“…” Murong Qiao frowned and couldn’t help but consider the chances of getting out of there.

The equipment and keys had been taken away, and her cell phone and clothes were in the changing room. If only she could get her cell phone to ask for help… She shifted her gaze to another door that led to the changing room. That door was firmly closed, quiet as if indicating a possibility.

Murong Qiao walked over and pushed it. As expected, it was also locked tightly. The other party is really cautious… Murong Qiao thought and looked elsewhere. However, other than these two doors leading outside, there was no other exit out of the swimming pool area.

She touched her exposed arm. “Fortunately, the air conditioner wasn’t turned off.”

Murong Qiao sighed. After all, she was wearing a thin swimsuit now. If the temperature dropped

That person seemed to be able to predict her thoughts or had already thought of doing so.

The moment Murong Qiao finished speaking, the swimming pool turned dark to the point that she could not even see her fingers. She could only barely see with the help of the moonlight outside the window.

The power was cut.

The flashlight function of the cell phone was turned on, and the cut wires were clearly illuminated, as well as the scissors in Feng Xinyao’s hand.

She looked at her masterpiece in satisfaction and threw the scissors into the bag. Then, she took off the gloves on her hands and carried them in a bag before walking out.

There was no warmth in the pool area, and it was dark. Just like that, the night pa.s.sed…

Even if Murong Qiao wasn’t injured, she would still have to go through some mental challenges.

Feng Xinyao laughed lightly, her laughter filled with pleasure.

Time gradually pa.s.sed. Night covered the sky, causing darkness to cover the entire land, announcing the arrival of midnight.

However, in the dark night, there was another room with lights on.

That was Third Brother Murong Chuan’s office.

These days, he was the one who had been sending Little Sister home, and today would not be an exception.

However, due to her swimming lessons, it was normal for her to end school late. Hence, Murong Chuan simply used this time to study academic topics in the office while waiting for his Little Sister to finish school.

‘But…¹

Murong Chuan rubbed the s.p.a.ce between his eyebrows and looked away from the screen with a slightly tired expression.

He felt that he had been waiting for exceptionally long. Then, he casually glanced at the time.

… Eleven o’clock?

Murong Chuan frowned and suddenly stood up from his seat. He looked at his cell phone with a serious expression.

There were no messages.

Logically speaking, the swimming cla.s.s would only start at nine in the evening at the latest. However, two hours had pa.s.sed since cla.s.s ended, but Little Sister had not contacted him at all.

Beep! Beep!

Murong Chuan first tried to call Murong Qiao.

As expected, no one picked up.

Murong Chuan listened to the monotonous and cold standby sound, and the heart in his chest gradually sank.

Something had happened to Little Sister.

He was almost certain that Murong Qiao would send him a message after school or come to the office to look for him. This had been constant.

Murong Chuan looked vexed. He picked up his phone and trench coat and walked out quickly. He secretly blamed himself for being so engrossed in the research that he forgot the time.

At this time, the sky was so dark that it made people feel uneasy. With a beautiful girl outside late at night, no matter how they thought about it, they felt that nothing good would happen.

The same worry was on An Nuo’s mind.

It was dark outside the window, so she couldn’t see what was going on outside.

She could only hear the sound of the wind.

The lights in the apartment were usually off at this time. Now, the living room was brightly lit. An Nuo was sitting on the sofa, still awake, holding her cell phone and looking at it.

She waited in the living room for a long time, but there was no sound at the door.

Seeing that it was eleven o’clock and Murong Qiao was still not home, An Nuo called Murong Qiao first, but she didn’t pick up after calling several times.

“Where did she go…” An Nuo’s voice was filled with worry.

She frowned. She obviously took the fact that she couldn’t contact Murong Qiao very seriously, because Murong Qiao was definitely not someone who would ignore phone calls.

An Nuo thought for a moment, then dialed another number.

This time, the call was quickly connected.

“An Nuo?” Huo Yichen said.

He sounded a little surprised.

An Nuo’s expression was slightly heavy. “…Is Qiao with you?”

She held onto the last bit of hope and asked the other party.

“No.” Huo Yichen was stunned for a moment before answering quickly. The next second, he reacted. “She didn’t go home?”

He used a question, but his tone was firm.

An Nuo’s mood changed drastically, and she responded softly.

On the other side, Huo Yichen’s face also turned cold. He frowned and instantly thought of Murong Qiao’s arrangements for today.

With a packed schedule, the possibility of her still being in school was high.

“I’ll go find her,” he decided immediately.

An Nuo responded and felt a little more at ease.

Then, the two of them agreed on the phone that An Nuo would wait for Murong Qiao at home, and Huo Yichen would go to the school to look for her first. Once there was news, they would inform each other immediately.

Fifteen minutes later, Huo Yichen arrived at Hui University.

He didn’t know how many red lights he had run along the way. When he reached the school gate and couldn’t drive in, Huo Yichen got out of the car and ran inside.

Countless places that Murong Qiao might be at floated in his mind. Then, he eliminated them one by one, not daring to slow down.

From near to far, the library, the field, the teaching building…

This was the first time Huo Yichen hated the size of Hui University so much.

His expression was extremely bad. His dark eyes seemed to be brewing a storm that was about to happen.

If others saw Huo Yichen standing in front of the building, they would probably think that they had seen a ghost in the dark.

“…Who is it?” A male voice suddenly broke the silence of the night.

The light then shone on where Huo Yichen was standing. It was Murong

Chuan, who was also looking for his Little Sister.

After the two of them looked at each other, they understood why they were here without much communication.

Huo Yichen said in a low and hoa.r.s.e voice, “I’ve searched this area. Is there anywhere else I should search?”

It was almost midnight. Even though he was wearing a long-sleeved shirt and a thick jacket, Huo Yichen could still feel the chill, which made him even more worried.

“The swimming pool and the laboratory building.” Murong Chuan frowned.

One was in the south and the other was in the north. Rounding it up, it could be said to be the two points furthest apart from Hui University.

Huo Yichen didn’t hesitate. “I’m going to the swimming pool.”

Every second he delayed could heighten the danger that Murong Qiao might encounter.

“Alright, call me if you have any news.” Murong Chuan did not waste his breath. Little Sister’s safety was the most important. After exchanging numbers, Murong Chuan and Huo Yichen quickly rushed to each other’s destination.

Huo Yichen ran toward the swimming pool as fast as he could. The sharp wind blew against his face as he ran, bringing with it waves of pain. However, he was only thinking about one thing at the moment.

That was to find her..
