233 Missing
Jing Yan went to the end of the slide, dug out two boards from the snow, and then hurried back to the rental window.
At this time, the night was about to fall, and many of the ice sculptures were lit up with colorful lights. The entire ice sculpture castle was more beautiful than when they came. There were gradually more people in the square, but the girl he had been thinking about was nowhere to be found.
When Jing Yan came back, he did not see the young girl holding the puppy. His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly knocked on the glass window of the rental booth and asked, “Did you see the girl who was standing here just now?”
“I didn’t see her.” The woman stuck her head out of the window in surprise and looked outside. Then she looked at Jing Yan innocently. “You were here just now. Maybe she went somewhere else?”
“She wouldn’t.” He Miao knew that Jing Yan would be worried and would wait for him to come back. Jing Yan furrowed his brows, his heart beating fast. He asked anxiously, “Do you have surveillance cameras installed here?”
“No, young man. There’s ice everywhere. How can we set up surveillance cameras?” The woman also noticed that something was wrong. She put on her coat and walked out of the cottage. “I’ll look for her with you. By the way, do you have the girl’s phone number? Why don’t you give her a call and ask? Maybe she went to the washroom?”
Jing Yan put his hand into his pocket, only to realize that his hands and feet had gone stiff from fear, and the heat in his body had been sucked out in an instant. He called He Miao a few times, but no one picked up.
The woman knew that something had happened and hurriedly said, “I’ll help you look for her. That little girl is quite pretty, and the consequences will be unimaginable if she gets lost! What’s her name?”
“He Miao. Thank you.” Jing Yan thanked the woman and called the driver to send someone to help. Then he ran to the slide ladder alone to look for He Miao.
The sky had turned completely dark, but Jing Yan still found nothing.
Chen Zhao ran back to Jing Yan’s side, panting. He looked at Jing Yan’s face carefully and said, “President Jing, we can now confirm that Miss He has left the square. What should we do next?”
Jing Yan looked at the time and said fiercely, “Ask the technical department to check all the surveillance cameras along the road near the square. Find them even if you have to dig three feet into the ground!” He ordered.
“Yes!” Chen Zhao immediately went to inform his colleagues in the technical department.
Jing Yan furrowed his brows tightly. After getting into the car, he locked the door and waited for a minute before he entered Onion’s body.
In the old residential building, Jing Yan had just opened his eyes and his consciousness fell into the puppy’s body when he suddenly smelled a strong bloody smell.
He was flustered and quickly got up to look for He Miao. However, with just a little force, there would be a sharp pain in his leg. The blood under him had completely coagulated, and the dog fur all over his body was stained with the smell of blood.
He gritted his teeth and endured the pain. After forcing himself to take two steps forward, he fell completely to the ground. He could only try his best to open his eyes to see his surroundings.
This house must have been occupied since there was almost no dust on the ground, only white paper scattered all over the ground. He picked up one of the pieces of paper with his mouth and turned to the side with words. After reading the contents, his dog eyes suddenly widened.
It recorded He Miao’s daily routine and even the time she usually left school and her home in detail.
This was clearly a stalker that had followed He Miao for a long time!
Jing Yan became more and more worried about He Miao’s current situation. Since the dog’s legs were not enough to support him to stand up, he pressed himself against the cold concrete floor and slowly crawled against the door. He quietly used the dog’s head to push open a small crack in the door and vigilantly watched for any movements in the living room.
The whole room was silent. Jing Yan’s heart was in his throat. He did not care about relieving the pain in his leg and continued to rub against the ground until he reached the door of the opposite room. He heard a loud “plop” from inside and immediately broke the closed door with all his might.
In the house, He Miao was tied to the ground and could not move. The loud noise just now was because she had accidentally fallen to the ground with the chair while trying to get the knife from the shelf opposite.
When Jing Yan saw that He Miao was safe, he was so excited that his eyes turned red. He rushed to He Miao’s side and licked her cheeks like a madman.
“Onion! It’s great that you’re fine!” He Miao’s heart ached as she looked at the bloodstains on the puppy. She wanted to reach out and hold it in her arms, but her hands were still tied to the back of the chair. When she fell just now, she had pressed her arms down, and now her whole body was numb from the pain. She might have broken a bone.
Jing Yan could not speak now, so he could only clench his teeth and run to the window. Enduring the pain in his limbs, he jumped onto the high windowsill and looked down at the environment outside.
He was just a stupid dog now and could not do anything. He had to know He Miao’s location so that he could come and save her immediately after he turned back.
