Slowly, a hand emerged from the bottom of the swimming pool, gripping a long bamboo poleâ¦
Qin Youxuan instinctively began to back up, intending to yell for help when she suddenly smelled a strange aroma. Her vision went black and then she fell into the swimming poolâ¦
â¦
By the time the butler and others found this area, the pool had returned to its peaceful state.
On the surface of the water, there were no ripples.
A gentle breeze blew by, stirring up fleeting waves.
âWe have looked everywhere in the front yard, no trace of Miss.â
âSame in the back yard, we found nothing.â
âWe thoroughly searched every room and found nothingâ¦â
Groups of people gathered back in the hall, having been declared unsuccessful.
âHow could a living person just vanish like this? You must not have searched thoroughly enough. Search again, donât miss out on any place. We have to find Miss!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The butler stood in the hall, his old face full of worry.
âBegin a search from Yujing Villa, outward. Report immediately if anything is discovered!â
âYes.â
Qin Youxuan had disappeared, without any trace.
Yujing Villa had fallen into unprecedented chaos and unease.
Everyone understood how important Miss was to Mr. Jie, now she was gone. No one could predict how Dan Hanjie, when he returned, would deal with these incompetent subordinates.
For a moment, everyone felt threatened and frantically began searching for her.
â¦
Amid the gloomy atmosphere, a line of black cars slowly pulled into Yujing Villa.
They stopped steadily in the courtyard, and the door of the car in the center was pushed open. A man quickly stepped out from the driverâs seat and respectfully walked to the back seat to pull open the door.
A pair of long legs was first out of the car, black dress pants exuding an intimidating aura. Each step showed unwavering determination.
The bewitching eyes deep, the enchanting face expressionless, the corner of his mouth curved into an alluring smirk.
If it wasnât Dan Hanjie, who else could it be?
By his side, as always, was Yao.
âMr. Jieââ
The staff at Yujing Villa respectfully lined up in two columns, greeting the returning master.
Only the butler, drenched in cold sweat, didnât know how to tell Mr. Jie about Qin Youxuanâs disappearance.
âIs she resting?â
Dan Hanjieâs cool gaze swiftly swept over everyone present. Not seeing Qin Youxuan, he slightly furrowed his brow.
He was thinking about that kitten. He really missed her.
Yet she was nowhere to be found.
Dan Hanjie unbuttoned his coat, handed it to Yao, and strode towards the mansion.
Moving so fast that even the butler had no time to react, Dan Hanjie had already ascended the stairs and pushed open the door without hesitation.
On witnessing the empty room, his gaze instantly became somber.
A dreadful premonition filled his heart. He turned around.
âWhere is she?â
âMr⦠Mr. Jie, Miss has disappeared, just a little while before your returnâ¦â
âBangââ
Before the butler could finish his sentence, Dan Hanjie had unexpectedly turned around. His movements were so abrupt that he knocked over a table, but he didnât stop. He marched straight towards the butler and grabbed him by the collar.
Through gritted teeth he asked, âWhat did you say, say it again?â
His usually expressionless face was suddenly clouded with anger, exuding a terrifying aura.
Even Yao, standing nearby, was clearly taken aback at the butlerâs words.
âAs soon as I received the message of your return, I tried to inform Miss, but then we realized that Miss was missingâ¦â The butler, with his collar grabbed, had turned red and was so nervous that he could barely speak.
âGoneâ¦â
