Chapter 174: Chapter 174: Ye Wumei Goes Missing

For others, boarding the massive ships of the Dongfang and Lu Families was indeed a rare opportunity, but Fang Bai didn’t care about these things.

In Fang Bai’s mind were numerous earth-shattering cultivation techniques from his previous life; as long as he persevered and continued his cultivation diligently, his strength was sure to grow stronger. When he reached a certain realm, he would attain a state beyond the mundane world, capable of looking down on everything.

By that time, all those wealthy and prominent clans would be insignificant in his eyes.

"What is Dongfang Rushi doing here?"

The poker-faced yet stunning image of Dongfang Rushi suddenly emerged in Fang Bai’s mind, prompting him to ask involuntarily.

"Do you know Ye Wumei?"

"Ye Wumei?"

Fang Bai was taken aback, then nodded, "Yes, I went to her concert with a friend last night."

"Let’s talk in my office..."

The two walked side by side to Tang Wenrou’s office, and after sitting down, Tang Wenrou took the initiative to make a cup of tea for Fang Bai before she said, "Ye Wumei disappeared after her concert last night... All signs indicate that she might have been abducted."

"Oh? Who abducted Ye Wumei?"

Tang Wenrou had dropped a bombshell, but Fang Bai seemed not to be too surprised.

Last night, Fang Bai had heard Ye Wumei fighting with someone and guessed that something might have happened, but he never imagined that the extraordinarily beautiful and ethereal superstar could have been abducted.

"If only we knew who it was..."

Tang Wenrou walked to her seat, rubbed her temples, and sighed, "Ye Wumei vanished in the middle of last night, and by this morning, the news had already spread throughout Huaxia. The higher-ups have ordered our police station to cancel all days off from today and dedicate all efforts to solving the case!"

After a pause, she continued, "Ye Wumei belongs to the Ye Family from Yuezhou. The Ye Family has announced through our police force a reward of ten million for any clues or information related to Ye Wumei."

"Dongfang Rushi and Ye Wumei are very close friends. She came a moment ago to specifically inquire about Ye Wumei’s situation and mentioned that the Dongfang Family is willing to provide all possible assistance to help the police find Ye Wumei."

"Ten million, that’s no small sum!"

Fang Bai knew that the Ye Family of Yuezhou, like the Su Family of Zhongzhou, the Shen Family of Anxi, the Dongfang Family of Yanjing, and the Lu Family, were powerful and influential families in Huaxia. Given Ye Wumei’s own status as a superstar known as the "National Sweetheart," her influence was not to be underestimated, no wonder the situation had blown up so much.

Tang Wenrou said, "Ye Wumei disappeared in Yanjing, so our police station is under great pressure. The Ye Family not only demands our Yanjing Police Station to do everything in its power to find her but has also sent many experts from their family to investigate. I really can’t imagine who would be bold enough to provoke the Ye Family, this behemoth!"

As Tang Wenrou reached this point in her explanation, she glanced at Fang Bai and saw him deep in thought. She asked, "Besides the ten million reward from the Ye Family, our police station has also offered an additional one million... How about it, are you interested in getting involved?"

Fang Bai smiled, "Eleven million in rewards is indeed tempting, but it won’t be easy to claim. Alright, since Officer Tang has given me an opportunity to make a fortune, I’ll give it a try!"

Tang Wenrou said, "Judging from the scene of Ye Wumei’s disappearance, the person who abducted her must not have acted alone; it’s likely a crime syndicate with substantial backing. So, getting involved in this matter carries certain risks. If it weren’t for our previous cooperation and the fact that you are a powerful martial artist, I wouldn’t have notified you."

"Here is a dossier provided by the Ye Family on Ye Wumei, take a good look at it, I hope it will be of use to you."

In the end, Tang Wenrou handed over a detailed file on Ye Wumei to Fang Bai.

Fang Bai quickly flipped through the profile of Ye Wumei, finding that the record included her age, hobbies, facial features, personality, temperament, and some living habits, among others. There were also a few recent photos of Ye Wumei attached at the end.

"If you come across anything, and you can’t deal with it alone, notify me immediately, and I’ll bring people to assist you. Remember, never take risks alone."

After Fang Bai had finished looking at Ye Wumei’s profile, Tang Wenrou said solemnly.

"Understood."

Fang Bai laughed, saying, "I’m someone who’s really afraid of death, so I never play the hero alone. If I encounter danger, I’ll definitely run away first, and then get help!"

Tang Wenrou was somewhat skeptical of Fang Bai’s words; she knew that Fang Bai wasn’t the type to fear death. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have risked his life to protect her during the "Fresh Fish Manor" explosion.

Thinking of that explosion, Tang Wenrou still felt a chill in her heart. She glanced at Fang Bai and couldn’t help but feel a warmth in her chest, and asked softly, "About the bet you made with National Doctor Qian Haoduo, to remove the scars on your back within a year, how is it going?"

"The scars are still there, but they will be gone soon. Hehe, the ten million in cash from Qian Haoduo is as good as mine! Officer Tang, once I get the ten million, I will treat you to a meal!"

"All right."

After sitting in Tang Wenrou’s office for a while and finishing the tea, Fang Bai stood up and prepared to leave.

"By the way, is Nunnery Master Jingxian doing okay?"

Just before leaving, Fang Bai suddenly remembered something.

Some days before, Fang Bai had visited the Lu Family with Tang Wenrou and, on their way back passing by Tang Wenrou’s villa, found that Nunnery Master Jingxian had suffered from deviation during her cultivation. It was thanks to Fang Bai’s intervention that Nunnery Master Jingxian was saved from disaster.

"My master is doing very well, and moreover, she turned misfortune into a blessing, advancing to Yellow Level Perfection. My master said that if it weren’t for your help that time, she would have been left crippled. She asked me to express her gratitude to you on her behalf."

Mentioning her master Nunnery Master Jingxian, a faint smile finally appeared on Tang Wenrou’s cool and pretty face.

The news of Ye Wumei’s disappearance spread overnight and was almost universally known. After leaving the Yanjing Police Station, wherever Fang Bai went, he could hear people discussing the matter.

When he returned to the courtyard at dusk, Fang Bai found Baili Mingyue sitting under the grape arbor in the yard, daydreaming with somewhat red-rimmed eyes.

"Mingyue, what’s wrong?"

Fang Bai thought Baili Mingyue had been bullied again and stepped forward to ask.

"I heard people say that Ye Wumei was kidnapped by bad people..."

Baili Mingyue had only said a sentence when the tears couldn’t stop flowing down her face.

"The police will handle this matter, why are you crying?"

Seeing Baili Mingyue crying her eyes out, Fang Bai couldn’t help but chuckle dumbfoundedly.

"I... I’m sad!"

Baili Mingyue wiped her tears and said with a sob, "Also, I feel... I feel like it’s my fault that Ye Wumei is missing."
