Chapter 443: Chapter 311: Her Grandfather (Third Update)_2

"Bro..." The cry for help dies abruptly, and a quiet befalls the room. The next moment, two figures disappear simultaneously.

"Yanyan (Little bunny)!" Both Mu Lin and Yan Zilei abruptly stood up, almost at the same time. They looked at each other, each seeing fear mirrored in the other’s eyes; they thought they had just heard Ya Yan’s voice.

Yan Zilei had been keeping an eye on Ya Yan’s location, but she hadn’t returned for a long time, which made him uneasy; just a moment ago... he had a feeling, his Yanyan was calling out to him. Her voice was filled with infinite fear, and even the sound of weeping.

His heart ached inexplicably.

"You guys continue." The second half of the auction had just started. Yan Zilei merely waved at the people by his side, rose to his feet, and ran towards the restroom. Mu Lin looked at Jing Chen, "I’ll go check too." She was worried.

Jing Chen nodded.

The moment the two figures disappeared, in one corner of the banquet hall, a smirk tugged at the corner of a man’s mouth.

The low laughter, chilling.

Still at the restroom’s entrance, Yan Zilei walked briskly towards it, "Yanyan? Yanyan..." But no matter how long he called, there was no sign of a response.

Mu Lin walked up to the ladies’ restroom and checked inside, "She’s not here either." That could only mean.

Something terrible had happened.

Without hesitation, Yan Zilei turned and began to run in a certain direction. The next second, he kicked something. He glanced down, picked it up, "This belongs to Yanyan." This was the small decorative crown that Ya Yan had worn on her head today, a gift from Mu Lin that she had given her while they were shopping together. Ya Yan cherished it dearly.

"It seems it fell off during the struggle." Mu Lin said: "I’ll look around the area, you... "

Yan Zilei: "I’ll check the surveillance footage and arrange for a search." Hardly had his words finished, his figure had already disappeared.

Having carefully observed the surroundings, Mu Lin turned to run towards the emergency escape stairs; her destination, the rooftop.

Unfortunately, she was a step too late. Ya Yan’s figure had already vanished.

Why would these people kidnap Ya Yan? Mu Lin was utterly baffled.

Lai Ou’s face emerged in Mu Lin’s mind, but she immediately dismissed her as a possibility in the next moment. The woman may seem to be all curves and no substance, but she wouldn’t be this stupid. If her target were Yan Zilei, she would never harm Ya Yan. Instead, she would try harder to please her; after all, to many of the women present, Ya Yan was the only gateway to Yan Zilei.

So, the kidnappers’ target may not be Ya Yan; maybe, it’s...

Her eyebrows knitted together, her eyes half-closed, and an icy chill emanated from Mu Lin.

In the surveillance room, the events leading up to Ya Yan’s disappearance appeared clearly before Yan Zilei.

"It’s him." His voice icy, Yan Zilei emitted a dangerous aura.

"Who?" Hong Mingsheng subconsciously asked.

"A madman, an internationally wanted criminal who will do anything for a satisfying price." An unremarkable voice echoed in the ears of the group. Yan Zilei turned around and saw Mu Lin, Jing Chen, Hong Boyuan, and Xiao Feng who were following them.

"I heard that he’s been active in Y country recently." He didn’t expect him to turn up here all of a sudden.

"Why on earth would these people kidnap Ya Yan?" Hong Boyuan couldn’t grasp it, "Is it for ransom?" Then there would be no need to act today.

Yan Zilei shook his head, a gloom in his eyes, it had not disappeared since he learned of Ya Yan’s abduction.

If he found out who had abducted his Yanyan, he would tear them to pieces.

"They probably wouldn’t harm Ya Yan just yet." Mu Lin said indifferently, looking at the man on the screen, then turned her gaze onto the crowd; "If this person truly wanted to harm Ya Yan, he wouldn’t have gone through all the trouble to abduct her, even using a helicopter."

"Could it really be for ransom?" Xiao Feng muttered.

"No." Mu Lin shook her head, "I think there might be another purpose." A ghost of a grin appeared on her face, "With the use of a helicopter and hiring this madman, whoever ordered the abduction must be extremely wealthy." She smirked at the thought of the perpetrator’s motives.

"Should we call the police now?" Hong Boyuan looked at Mu Lin; wasn’t she quite close with the director, she could make the first call.

"We can’t report to the police yet." Mu Lin shook her head, "We still don’t know what their motive is." Not to mention, they had brazenly abducted their target within the hotel and didn’t bother to conceal their faces. They clearly weren’t afraid of the police at all.

Even if the entire police force were to be mobilized, they may still not be able to catch them, "The only thing we can do now is to wait; wait for this banquet to end. At the end, I believe they’ll make contact." Mu Lin’s intuition told her the culprit was among the attendants, even a particular person in her mind. Now, all she had to do was wait, wait for them to walk right into her trap.

Looking at Mu Lin, Yan Zilei’s eyes were deep, he didn’t speak.

The second half of the charity auction continued as if nothing had happened, everyone returned to their original seats, including Mu Lin and Jing Chen.

Finally, the banquet came to an end. When everyone who was unrelated left, leaving only those who knew the truth.

No objections were raised to Xiao Feng and Hong Boyuan’s decision to stay, coming from the two old men.

Yan Zilei walked up to Mu Lin, gazing at her in silence, "Do you know something?" He had been suspicious since he saw a smile on her face that was different from her usual ones.

The instant Yan Zilei’s voice fell, Mu Lin’s phone rang.

"It seems that they have made contact."
