Yu Minglang hadn’t rested for 2 days straight, even resorting to hastily eating.

It was an organization with a familial nature that trafficked people across provinces.

The gang came from the same village, rarely returning home and choosing to commit crimes in various places instead.

Their methods were skillful, and their routes cunningly designed, managing to evade every blind spot.

The gang members usually didn’t have fixed addresses, their license plates, IDs, and various documents were all fake, and they constantly moved around, making it extremely difficult to find them.

But in front of a man who insisted on finding his lover, difficulty never existed.

From interrogating Xiao Xuanzi, who admitted his human trafficker Old Wu and Da Mei, Yu Minglang finally inferred several possible destinations for Old Wu and Da Mei 52 hours after Xiao Qian’s disappearance according to various conditions and comprehensive judgment.

Based on fuel consumption, he guessed that they would refuel at certain locations on the way to these destinations, focusing on several gas stations in those cities. Yu Minglang knew he was gambling, betting that the other party wouldn’t change cars midway, but luckily, heaven favored him and his Xiao Mei.

Surveillance footage from the gas station where Da Mei and Old Wu refueled captured a photo of their car a few hours ago. The car had been here! His Xiao Mei had been brought here!

Now, Yu Minglang was aboard his family’s helicopter, heading towards his speculated locations.

There was a small patch of blue stubble on Yu Minglang’s chin.

Qiao Zhen was in a similar state, with just over a day’s time weighing heavily on these two outstanding men, their loved ones’ lives hanging in the balance. They were unwilling to rest, not wanting to waste a single minute, as Xiao Qian and Shi Yu were in even greater danger.

When he couldn’t bear it any longer, Yu Minglang popped some painkillers to suppress his injuries. Everyone thought it would take a while to find them, but he didn’t give up.

The distance from Qiang City to their current location wouldn’t normally take this long by car. The traffickers must have taken many detours to evade checkpoints, which bought Yu Minglang some time. He had already been frantically searching with his team while on the road.

It was impossible for them to retrace the traffickers’ route – it would take too much time. They opted to go by helicopter instead, arriving in 2 hours.

Although the gas station couldn’t provide much valuable information, it confirmed Yu Minglang’s destination speculation. He had inferred 6 possible destinations, three of which were in this area.

The tricky part was that these three places happened to be at three separate forks in the road.

It was challenging to determine which direction to take to pursue the traffickers. After refueling, it was impossible to predict the traffickers’ next stop, as they’d already left the bustling city and surveillance.

Based on the timeline, if Yu Minglang calculated the nearest destination, Xiao Qian and the others might have already been sent to the buyers and even spent the night there.

With several hours or even an entire night, countless things could happen.

The sooner they found them, the quicker they could save them.

Yu Minglang and Qiao Zhen were prepared for the worst. They could only imagine what might have happened to the two beautiful girls who had fallen into the wolf’s den. But nobody cared about that, they just hoped they were still alive.

Yu Minglang knew that his Xiao Mei was a very strong-willed girl. If those people dared to be rough with her, she would rather shatter than bear the humiliation, possibly even taking drastic measures.

However, he wished she could have a bigger heart and not care about these things. As long as she was alive, even if she had suffered injustice, nothing else mattered.

Upon reaching the fork in the road, Yu Minglang, Qiao Zhen, and the other two team members parachuted down, hoping to find any clues. He harbored a glimmer of hope, hoping to find some trace.

When they arrived, daylight had already broken, but the weight on their hearts grew heavier.

His Xiao Mei had spent an unknown night in such a place, and he hated himself for not finding her sooner.

Many kidnapped people never find their way back in a lifetime. The low case clearance rate for this type of crime was due to various reasons. Yu Minglang had tried his best to achieve this speed, which amazed those who came with him. It was thanks to Yu Minglang’s intelligence and the enormous influence of the Yu Family. He had already defied expectations, but Yu Minglang was still not satisfied.

All he wanted was to bring his girl back, nothing else mattered.

He hoped to find at least a little clue; even the smallest hint would do!

Xiao Mei, where are you? Can you give your elder brother a hint so I can find you as soon as possible!

Suddenly, a sniper’s intuition made Yu Minglang look in a certain direction. A flash of light in the grass made him squint.

Could it be—?!

Natural crystals emit slightly more intense light than artificial ones, especially when white light bounces off them. It was a very inconspicuous little thing, but as Yu Minglang bent down to tie his pants with one hand, he sensed something strange in the grass with his strong sniper’s intuition.

He stooped down and picked up a small pendant; a not very pretty little flower crystal pendant with a piece of string still attached.

The pendant was placed in a very conspicuous place, seemingly on purpose, with the string tied to the highest grass tip where anyone passing by could easily spot it.

This little flower looked so familiar.

Yu Minglang held the pendant and suddenly remembered visiting Xiao Qian before his trip. She sat on the bed, applying lotion to her legs, with an anklet on her foot. He had even commented on how unattractive the chain was…

Yu Minglang’s brain quickly recalled memories like a flood and recognized that it belonged to Xiao Mei!!!

The man with exceptional memory tried to filter through his vast information, vaguely remembering that the anklet had many pendants. When he touched it, he thought to himself how strange women were for wearing so many small things, without feeling uncomfortable on their ankles.

But now, Yu Minglang wanted to give endless love to this anklet that he had once despised! With only one pendant left appearing here, what could it mean?

It was Xiao Mei, his smart Xiao Mei, who was giving him a signal!

With his blood boiling, Yu Minglang quickly returned to the car and ordered his team to split into three groups to search. As expected, on the far-left road, they found the second pendant!

She was on this side!

Yu Minglang and his team members sprinted forward, searching quickly.

He ran with his team for a while and collected five pendants in total.

At this point, there was no need to continue pursuing. Yu Minglang was sure that his Xiao Mei was in the mountain valley at the end of this winding road..
