1004: Chapter 974: Lin Yuan Goes Missing!

“What’s going on?”

Wu Jie stopped in his tracks, double-checking the content of the text message.

It was definitely Fang Qingya’s cell phone number.

The message wasn’t long, and it was easy to understand.

But the news it conveyed…

was utterly unexpected.

“Lin Yuan is missing!”

Wu Jie glanced at the room number, then stepped towards the next door.

Almost entered the wrong room.

After entering his own room, Wu Jie immediately called Fang Qingya back.

“Lin Yuan is missing…

What on earth happened?

I just finished my dinner engagement and saw your message!”

Fang Qingya said anxiously,

“She signed up for Tianyuan Benevolent Charity’s ‘Poverty Area Study Aid Journey’ together with a team of teachers volunteering to support education in the mountain areas for a period!”

“But at lunch, everyone realized she was gone.

As you know, the mobile signal in the mountains is erratic, making it impossible to get through.

Most students and teachers were in classes this morning and nobody saw her leave the school or where she went!”

“Everyone thought she’d just gone out for a walk, but she hasn’t returned, and it’s almost 11 p.m.

now.

It gets very cold in the mountains at night, and there are even wolves and boars around.”

“Where do you think she could have gone?

Her phone is unreachable, she isn’t replying to messages, and the school has already organized many teachers and villagers to search everywhere, but there’s still no sign of her!”

“Lin Yuan has a gentle disposition, she isn’t the type to be undisciplined or unorganized.

Before going to the mountains, the team made it clear about the safety protocols, so she definitely wouldn’t have left on her own.

I suspect she’s most likely been abducted!”

“Being such a soft and beautiful woman, those single men and old bachelors deep in the mountains would be tempted at the sight of her!

I’m really afraid she’s hidden away in someone’s home, already violated!”

…

Fang Qingya was extremely emotional, speaking very fast.

The fact that Lin Yuan was missing for so long in the mountainous regions was worrisome.

Her gentle beauty was distinct from that of the mountain women, with her lovely features, elegant demeanor, and graceful figure.

To men from the poor, backward mountain hinterlands, Lin Yuan was nothing short of a goddess!

Born from poverty, harboring wicked thoughts!

A beauty like Lin Yuan, one in a million, could unfortunately attract the attention of poor, ignorant men, desperate for a wife or a woman, practically driven mad with longing, ready to force and abduct her.

There have been reports of similar news stories.

With a peerless beauty like Lin Yuan.

Who appeared in impoverished and backward mountain areas without a price.

For those unacquainted with the law and devoid of moral boundaries, procuring a beautiful woman without spending a dime was like picking up a treasure.

All it took was to be ruthless, and a wife could be had.

So…

If Lin Yuan really left the school and wandered off alone, the chances of being abducted were extremely high.

Moreover, in underdeveloped and barren mountains, communication towers are usually built in townships.

Restricted by mountainous barriers, signal coverage is limited, so it is normal to have no phone service or to be unable to send or receive messages.

As for getting online…

that’s even more out of the question.

When there’s not even a single bar of cell signal, how could one possibly connect to the internet?

Furthermore…

If she had indeed been abducted, anything of value she had was likely to have been plundered first.

In the mountains, where it’s densely forested and sparsely populated.

If someone tied her up and gagged her, simply stashed away in some cave or underground cellar…

If they encountered someone cruel enough to knock Lin Yuan unconscious with a club, and she was unable to call for help or scream…

Finding her would be like searching for a needle in a haystack, purely a matter of luck.

In short.

Disappearing without a trace in the mountains is even more frustrating and urgent than in the city.

At least in the city, there are people and surveillance cameras around.

The chances of being publicly abducted or snatched are slim, because it is easily witnessed, and nowadays there are municipal surveillance cameras, and some shops even install cameras inside and outside their premises…

In the mountains, not seeing a soul after walking for most of the day is common.

As for surveillance cameras…

that’s wishful thinking.

Who would bother setting up expensive surveillance all over the mountains?

Who are they guarding against?

Moreover.

Lin Yuan is well-educated, holding a master’s degree, a classic beauty with knowledge and propriety.

She herself is a university lecturer; it’s impossible that she would act without discipline, leaving the school without telling anyone and walking off alone.

Especially since Lin Yuan herself is an orphan and frequently visits the Tianyuan Welfare Institute to play and have fun with the children, she volunteered to teach in the mountains despite the challenging conditions and out of her profound love for helping others.

According to Fang Qingya, the mountain village school where Lin Yuan went to is far from the township.

Although the signal isn’t great, Lin Yuan would still send messages every day, recording short videos or voice messages, then sending them out using the faint cell signal from the roof of the teaching building.

She’d share with Fang Qingya the things that happened each day, and also talk about the students, the teaching arrangements, and so on.

But today…

Lin Yuan hadn’t sent any messages to Fang Qingya.

She wasn’t seen at dinner, so the school and volunteer team had already started organizing people to search in groups.

No traces have been found till now.

How could Fang Qingya not be frantic?

…

Wu Jie patiently listened to Fang Qingya’s urgent story and immediately asked,

“Did they report it to the police?”

Fang Qingya sighed, “Of course they did!

The local police station only has a few officers.

They received the alert and arrived at the scene over an hour ago and have been helping with the search, but it’s still useless, the person is still missing and uncontactable.”

“You have the power and the connections, please help, Jie.

See if you can rush to dispatch more manpower, organize a large-scale mountain closure and search operation, especially bring more police dogs…”

Fang Qingya’s request was straightforward.

It was simply unrealistic to search for Lin Yuan, who had gone missing in the mountains, relying on manpower alone; the efficiency was too low.

The best solution was to urgently summon a large number of professional search and rescue teams.

Especially those geological disaster rescue teams, who were already professional with specialized equipment and professionally trained search dogs, could quickly search for Lin Yuan in the deep mountains with dense forests.

Moreover, those sniffer dogs, which were extremely sensitive in scent and used to catch criminals and find contraband, could sniff Lin Yuan’s clothes left at school, remember the scent, and then follow it to search everywhere.

And time had to be pressed.

Because the mountain climate was variable, if a strong wind blew or heavy rain fell, the scent would disappear, and locating Lin Yuan would become even more difficult.

The reason why she sought help from Wu Jie was due to the urgency of the situation.

For ordinary missing person cases, an adult had to be missing for forty-eight hours before the case could be officially filed.

Lin Yuan had disappeared at noon; by evening, the local police had deployed officers to help look for her, which was already commendable.

Wait for the rescue team, the search and rescue team, the search dogs, the police dogs…

you’d have to wait at least another two or three days under normal procedures.

Fang Qingya feared that by then, something terrible would have already happened to Lin Yuan.

If it were a fall off a cliff, she would definitely be dead.

If she were abducted, who knows how many times she’d have been violated.

Therefore,

In case of urgent need, Fang Qingya thought of Wu Jie, who held a key position at the Security Bureau.

Hoping that through Wu Jie, unconventional means would be used to urgently mobilize the necessary personnel and equipment for the search and rescue.

After listening, Wu Jie did not hesitate and immediately agreed.

It didn’t matter whether they were friends, whether she was a beauty, or whether she was going to teach as part of Tianyuan Benevolent Charity Auxiliary Business Association’s Poverty Area Study Aid Journey.

Knowing about this situation, it was only right to help.

“I will arrange it right away.

You don’t need to be too anxious or think too much, keep your mobile phone unobstructed, and I will notify you immediately if there’s any news!”

“Thank you, Jie, thank you!”

After hanging up, Wu Jie immediately called Elder Tan’s secretary.

The last time Shu Mengyan needed surgery, and at this critical juncture, to summon a large number of professional search and rescue teams in one go, they could only turn to Elder Tan.

And of course, Wu Jie’s request would be met without question.

Soon, multiple national search and rescue teams, on standby 24 hours, received the order and quickly departed from their bases.

And from the closest province, city, and county to the incident site, the fire brigade, armed police, geological disaster rescue forces were also quickly dispatched.

A massive search and rescue operation unfolded rapidly in the cold night.

…

In the early hours of the morning.

Wu Jie was sleeping when the door was knocked.

Zheng was here.

Upon entering, he cheerfully handed a cigarette to Wu Jie.

“All the big tigers have been caught and are awaiting the stern punishment of the law.

Anti-corruption officer Lu said he’d like to award you a medal.

I answered for you, telling them to cash it in!”

Wu Jie chuckled, “Exactly, what’s the use of a medal?

Cash rewards are much more substantial.

Besides, I paid real money for that incriminating evidence!”

Zheng nodded slightly, blew a smoke ring, then frowned and said,

“I’ve received a tip that Xu Kuishan and his family seem to be preparing to flee.

Has Du agreed to cooperate with them?”

“What else?

Without their connections, we had no way of locating the whereabouts of the nuclear warheads in the short term!” Wu Jie asked with a smirk, “But from the tone of your voice, you seem reluctant to let them get away?”

Zheng hurriedly shook his head, “Whether they leave or stay, it doesn’t concern me.

It’s just that their frantic selling of various types of secret materials has drawn the attention of the bureau recently.”

After some casual conversation, judging that the time was about right, Zheng got straight to the point.

“I must apologize to you again for tonight’s incident!”

“Maybe my brain is a bit inflexible, accustomed to commands and instructions, and only knows to follow the rules strictly.

Sometimes my thinking and actions become fixed…”

Wu Jie waved his hand, smiling indifferently, “I was just leveraging your action at the time and wasn’t really angry with you.

Your pulling the gun and yelling helped me a lot.

There’s no need to apologize; I should be thanking you!”

“Thank me?

What do you mean?

I don’t remember being much help,” Zheng was a bit puzzled.

Wu Jie laughed, “Wasn’t it helpful to intimidate them?”

Although he said so, Wu Jie thought to himself.

Tonight’s gathering of the big tigers for dinner, all this fuss, was ultimately for the energy points.

This was a secret to be deeply hidden in his heart and never to be revealed to anyone.

Others might think he was a busybody, someone resentful of the rich and corrupt, a small-minded person, but it didn’t matter.

After all, earning over two billion energy points was the most tangible thing.

“Oh right, I heard when I came here that a friend of yours went missing while teaching in the mountains?” Zheng suddenly asked, “That person’s name is Lin Yuan, right?”

Wu Jie nodded, “Yes!

So far, the search and rescue efforts have been increasing, but she’s still missing and uncontactable.

It’s truly difficult to find a person in the vast mountains, just like finding a needle in a haystack!”

Zheng sighed, “Not to speak harshly, but she’s a smart and disciplined person, she wouldn’t just disappear without a word.

The fact that she hasn’t been found for so long indicates that it’s unlikely to be an accidental incident like falling off a cliff or into a well.”

“Having not received any ransom or extortion messages by now, from my personal experience, she’s most likely been lured and kidnapped.

There were no struggles or cries for help on the scene; it must have been done by someone she knew.

Checking her recent contacts might provide a clue.”

“But don’t worry, I’ve already arranged for people to help search.

For such a beautiful lady, if she’s been abducted and violated by some dirty, sleazy old man, that would be truly tragic.”
