"Now isn’t the efficiency of the police too high?"

The person opposite gave her a cold look. "No."

...

Qi Cheng finished work and returned home but didn’t see Ji Yunhuan.

"Where’s Ms. Ji?"

Aunt Liu said, "She hasn’t come back yet."

Qi Cheng frowned. When he called Ji Yunhuan, it wasn’t dark yet. Now several hours had passed.

Ji Yunhuan clearly said she would come back.

He sat down and took out his phone to call.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later!"

The mechanical prompt came over, and Qi Cheng frowned. He tried several times, but it was always the same.

After Assistant Gao dropped Qi Cheng at the Ji Family home, he was ready to finish work but received a call from Qi Cheng. "Help me find out where Ji Yunhuan is."

"Ms. Ji is missing?"

"No one answers her phone, and it’s so late, she hasn’t come back. Something must have happened."

"I’ll have someone look for her immediately." Ji Yunhuan was precious to Qi Cheng; her sudden disappearance meant Assistant Gao wouldn’t be getting any sleep that night.

Ji Yunhuan was locked up in a detention center. She felt baffled. She had explained that she had no ulterior motive, but the man responsible for interrogating her seemed unwilling to listen.

She asked to make a call but wasn’t given the chance.

The weather was getting hot, and there was no air conditioning in the holding cell. As soon as she came in, she felt extremely uncomfortable from the heat.

There were quite a few people inside, detained for various reasons.

Both men and women.

Also, a drunkard.

When Ji Yunhuan came in, those people’s eyes fell on her.

Ji Yunhuan’s figure and face were outstanding; even walking in a crowd, she would outshine other women, let alone in a place rarely visited by women.

She stood by the door, not knowing where to place herself, and asked the police officer who had just brought her in, "Can I change rooms?"

"Change rooms?" The other party looked at her incredulously. "Do you think this is a hotel where you can change rooms?"

Ji Yunhuan was rendered speechless by his indifference. "When can I get out then?"

"Wait!" The man left after speaking.

Ji Yunhuan looked at this iron cage, never imagining she would one day be locked up here.

Seeing a newcomer, everyone curiously asked her, "Such a pretty woman getting locked up here, miss, what did you do to get in?"

Ji Yunhuan didn’t respond and stood aside.

Judging from the looks of those men, if she answered, it would never end.

She wasn’t that foolish.

The more familiar men sat aside, scrutinizing Ji Yunhuan from top to bottom. Their lecherous gazes made her skin crawl. Unfortunately, all her phone and bag were left in the car when she arrived.

Before she came in here, the men who had been complaining among themselves quieted down upon seeing her. To them, seeing such a beauty made their visit worthwhile.

"Look at her arms, so slender."

"That face, smooth and tender like a boiled egg..."

"If I could spend one night with her, I’d die happy."

"Me too."

Those men chuckled sinisterly. Ji Yunhuan didn’t want to hear anything, but the space was too small, and they didn’t bother to lower their voices, so their vulgar comments buzzed in her ears.

...

Qi Cheng found Ji Yunhuan’s car parked outside the restaurant. The car was locked, and he saw her phone inside. It was too late; he asked nearby shopkeepers, but no one had seen where she went.

After dinner, the second sister-in-law was bathing the baby when a maid walked in with a phone. "Madam, the third young master called."

"For me?" The second sister-in-law dried her hands with a towel and took the phone. "Qi Cheng."

"Second sister-in-law, have you seen Yunhuan?" Ji Yunhuan had been with the second sister-in-law, and Qi Cheng hoped she was still with her and had just forgotten to bring her phone.

"Yunhuan? No!" The second sister-in-law’s face was calm, but her eyes showed a flash of complexity. She deliberately asked, "Why bring her up all of a sudden?"

"Nothing." The second sister-in-law didn’t know, and Qi Cheng didn’t elaborate. He quickly hang up.

He started to worry.

If she wasn’t with the second sister-in-law, then something had happened to Ji Yunhuan. How could he be at ease?

"Send people to find her properly." Qi Cheng ordered seriously.

Assistant Gao had already sent people to search. "I’ll notify you immediately if there’s any news."

Qi Cheng had someone bring the spare key, opened the car door, and sat inside. He found her phone, wallet, and everything else left behind. She hadn’t taken anything with her.

Ji Yunhuan wasn’t a stupid person. Qi Cheng couldn’t imagine under what circumstances she would drop everything and suddenly disappear.

It couldn’t be that she time-traveled, could it?

...

Ji Yunhuan had stood too long in the detention cell and felt tired. She found a relatively clean spot and squatted down.

It was evening now. She hadn’t eaten all day and felt miserable. She had been in here for several hours, and the police seemed to have left work. Locked in here, she couldn’t even make a call.

She leaned her head on her knees, just hoping Qi Cheng could find her.

She had great faith in Qi Cheng’s abilities and knew he would eventually find out where she was, but...

Across from her, the men seemed to be plotting something.

Who knew when Qi Cheng would arrive?

Just thinking about the possibility of being locked up here all night made her skin crawl.

In the first half of the night, the holding cell was unbearably hot. After squatting for a while, Ji Yunhuan stood up and confronted those men’s wolfish gazes.

She instinctively looked at the only two women in the space. Those two women turned black-faced as soon as they saw Ji Yunhuan.

Women naturally had strong jealousy. Seeing how beautiful Ji Yunhuan was, they had already considered her an enemy and didn’t want to acknowledge her.

Those men looking at her chuckled. "It’s uncomfortable squatting there. You can come sit over here."

They had seats over there. Several men sat there and a drunkard.

She’d be crazy to go over there.

Ji Yunhuan hid in a corner by the door, fanning herself with her hand. It was really scorching.

Two men gathered the courage to come over. "Hey, why so cold? It’s fate that we get to know each other here."

"Yeah! You’re so pretty. I’ve never seen a more beautiful woman."

A heavily made-up woman, looking just over thirty, heard their compliments and sarcastically said, "What’s good about being locked up here? Looking at her, she probably got caught selling herself outside."
