Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 347 Angry Look

In the early morning, the first ray of sunlight gently shines on the streets of Leizhou City.

At this time, Mingyue dragged his exhausted body, his eyes bloodshot and red, back to the Yeyou Division.

He and the anxious couple searched for the entire night, searching almost every possible place inside and outside Yanling City, but they did not find even a trace of the child.

In desperation, Mingyue knew that it was no use continuing to search without any clues, so she could only rush back temporarily to see if Cheng Fengzi had returned.

After all, when it comes to finding people and finding things, Cheng Fengzi's ability is second to none in the Night Patrol Department. With his help, perhaps things can turn around.

Moreover, after talking with the couple last night, Mingyue couldn't help but feel deeply worried.

Only then did he realize that there had been a number of missing persons incidents in Yanling City during this period of time, and the situation was far more serious than he had imagined.

The couple was also confused and frightened, they themselves did not know whether the child had run away on his own or had been kidnapped by criminals. But no matter which result it was, the current situation was equally terrible.

Mingyue had heard Cheng Fengzi describe the child's situation in detail. He knew that the child's mouth full of sharp animal teeth was no joke. If the child suddenly became beastly and ran around in Yanling City, it might cause a terrible incident of injuring or even killing people.

By then, the consequences will be disastrous.

But if the child was abducted, the situation would not be optimistic.

Judging from the recent frequent disappearances in Yanling City, it is obvious that the same group of people are committing the crimes in an organized and premeditated manner. This kind of criminal gang must be cunning and secretive, and it is not easy to catch them.

What's more, we don't know where they hid the child, which is undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack.

The current situation is extremely critical. Mingyue knows clearly that every minute and every second is crucial. If the best time to find the child is missed, the child may be in danger.

So, he made a prompt decision and instead of continuing to search around blindly like a headless fly, he decided to come back and ask for help.

After returning to Yeyousi, Mingyue was disappointed to find that Cheng Fengzi had not returned yet.

He suddenly felt anxious and helpless. Time was running out and he couldn't wait any longer. So Mingyue hurried out of the Night Tour Division and trotted all the way to find Wei Si.

At this time, Wei Si was not on duty yet and was leisurely staying at home.

Seeing Mingyue running over breathlessly, Wei Si was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face and he said, "Mingyue, what's wrong with you? How come you have time to come to me today? You usually work in the Night Tour Division, but you are very busy. It's rare to see you have free time to come out and walk around."

Mingyue's face was solemn at the moment, with beads of sweat on his forehead. He didn't even have time to take a breath, and said anxiously: "Brother Wei, there is something urgent, I need your help!"

When Wei Si saw Mingyue's expression, he was startled and the smile on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by a serious look. He said, "You tell me! As long as I, Wei Si, can help, I will never refuse."

Mingyue took a deep breath and then told Wei Si the whole story.

Wei Si listened quietly, his brows gradually frowned, and a hint of worry appeared in his eyes.

Wei Si shook his head slightly and said solemnly: "I have also heard a little about what happened in Yanling City..."

As he spoke, he subconsciously looked around. Although he was in his own home, he couldn't help but lower his voice, as if he was afraid of being heard by others.

He continued, "I heard that because this incident involved too many missing people, the prefect of Yanling City was afraid that if the matter was exposed, he would be severely held accountable by the court. So, he suppressed the matter and blocked the news from the outside world, not letting the outside world know about the current situation in Yanling City."

This kind of thing is actually not uncommon. Just as Li Zhi had always wondered in his heart, why did Lord He's mansion blatantly arrest so many people to make elixirs, but no one reported it to the police.

In fact, it’s not that no one wants to seek help from the government, but that these cases have been suppressed by officials like the prefect of Yanling City, leaving the people with nowhere to turn for help.

When Mingyue heard what Wei Si said, she immediately understood that there was probably a lot more water behind this matter and it was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

However, he is, after all, just a young and energetic boy, and what he lacks the least is the youthful spirit.

Mingyue frowned tightly, her face was full of anger, and she shouted angrily: "This prefect is really a figurehead! In such a critical situation, he didn't think about how to find the missing people as soon as possible, but deliberately suppressed the matter and concealed it. How can he be worthy of the people of Yanling City and the title of the parent official!"

Wei Si was almost scared to death by Mingyue's sudden shout. He was shocked and was about to remind Mingyue to speak in a lower voice and be careful because walls have ears. If this was heard by someone who shouldn't have heard it, they would be in trouble.

However, when he saw Mingyue's face full of anger and eyes burning with rage, he was so frightened that he stood there for a moment, and the words came to his lips but he couldn't say anything.

In Wei Si's impression, Mingyue has always been a friendly and mild-tempered person, and it seems that no other emotions except kindness can be seen on his face.

But now, Mingyue in front of him seemed like a different person. His eyebrows were raised high, his eyes were wide open, and his eyes were as terrifying as those of a god.

Wei Si swallowed hard, his eyes showing a hint of nervousness and helplessness, and he stammered, "Ming...Mingyue, what do you want to do now?"

Mingyue closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and tried hard to suppress the anger in her heart.

After a while, he slowly opened his eyes, his expression became firm and calm, and he turned to Wei Si and said, "Brother Wei, I know this matter is difficult, but we can't just sit back and do nothing. You have a wide network of contacts in Leizhou City and know many people. Can you help me see if you can find any clues about the kidnapping gang? Even just a little clue may be the key to finding those missing people."

Although the anger on Mingyue's face had subsided at this moment and he had regained some of his former calmness, after seeing Mingyue's furious look just now, Wei Si no longer dared to treat him as an ordinary boy.

Wei Si looked serious. He nodded and said, "Brother Mingyue, don't worry. I'll ask someone to find out. I'll let you know if there's any news."

Having said that, Wei Si turned around in a hurry and went out in a hurry.

Mingyue was not idle either. Before coming to find Wei Si, he had already found out where Cheng Fengzi was.

He thought to himself, since Cheng Fengzi hasn't come back yet, it would be just as well for him to go find him. Maybe he could meet him on the road.

So Mingyue quickly rushed back home and found the mind-seeing mirror from her room.

He carefully put the mind-seeing mirror into his arms, then led out his horse, climbed on it, shook the reins, and galloped straight out of Minglei City.
