NOVPUBAfter saying these few normal words, the man suddenly went crazy again with his mutterings, as if he had gone stupid in a split second.
The group of ghosts haunting the man could not be seen by Jin Yao. They only ceased their mental attacks on the man for a moment so that the man could leave behind a clue for Jin Yao as per instructions from Yue Ran.
Jin Yao didn't know whether the man's action was a pretense or not, but the location spouted by the man was his best bet.
It was the only option available to him.
Jin Yao and Mu Chen looked at one another and left the scene. Only a few of Mu Chen's men were left to deal with the now-crazy man.
They were working together when they found out that Yue Ran suddenly went missing. Jin Yao's extraordinary hacking skills combined with Mu Chen's manpower were the most efficient combo.
Their only lead came from Rui Qin's phone, which contained text messages and photos of Yue Ran's deteriorating condition. Those did not make them feel any better, for they panicked after seeing them.
Although they had never heard of this Fei Jia Village, both knew that it was not a good place! Moreover, this B City was located in the most barren place in the whole country!
Fei Jia village was not even located in the GPS! There was no way to find it even with Jin Yao's hacking skills, but he could only continue trying.
Mu Chen gritted his teeth.
Yue Ran was abducted right under his nose, even when he had explicitly told his men to keep an eye on her every movement!
He could only blame himself for this, and there was no place to vent this pent-up anger that was boiling inside him.
Now that they had a clue as to where Yue Ran was, there was no longer a need for the two to cooperate. It's still better to act independently since they were, after all, still rivals in love.
Mu Chen was the first to drive away, leaving Jin Yao behind with black clouds of exhaust.
Jin Yao coughed uncomfortably and quickly rented a car to drive to B City.
They don't know what would happen to Yue Ran if they arrived any later, and they dare not imagine what has happened to her at present!
When Jin Yao was passing by a block of flats, his road was suddenly hindered by two suspiciously familiar cars. When the owners of the cars both got out, Jin Yao finally realized who they were—Jiang Yi and Yang Chi.
Jin Yao begrudgingly got out of his rented car with a frustrated sigh. Those two would not move out of the way until he gave them a somewhat satisfying explanation as quickly as he could. 𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝒎
The faster he could get this over with, the faster his search for Yue Ran's whereabouts would be.
"We know that Yue Ran is missing," Jiang Yi said with a rare look of anxiety on his face. "Is that why you took off so suddenly?"
It was obvious who the "we" in his sentence were referring to—Jiang Yi himself and Yang Chi.
Jin Yao's face darkened with Jiang Yi's words.
"If you know, then get out of the way and just follow behind."
Jin Yao didn't have time to argue with them, so he would be better off explaining things briefly before riding off with those two tails behind him. Let's just treat this as having more manpower and thus more strength.
But before he could, Yang Chi had already shouted first.
"You should at least explain things!" He roared.
"Yue Ran was kidnapped by the six men that Rui Qin had hired." Jin Yao ran a hand through his disheveled hair. He hadn't had the time to take care of his appearance ever since he found out about Yue Ran's sudden disappearance until now.
"WHAT?!" Yang Chi shouted disbelievingly. "Rui Qin?!"
Jin Yao flashed Yang Chi a rather strange glance.
Was Yang Chi really that surprised to hear of this? It wasn't like it was the first time that Rui Qin had wanted to harm Yue Ran before.
"Let's go; the more we delay things, the..." Jiang Yi, the still somewhat level-headed male protagonist, spoke with his words trailing off in the end.
The implications of his words need not be said.
All three men had a tacit understanding of this.
With a nod, all three went inside their respective cars. Both Yang Chi and Jiang Yi made way for Jin Yao and followed behind his car to Yue Ran's destination.
They all fear that worse will happen.

Fei Jia Village
A middle-aged man with a ferocious face was holding his own belt and lashing the air with great vigor.
Fei Niu was just called a waste by his father a few moments ago, all because he didn't want to go out to work!
Since his parents decided to give birth to him, then his parents should raise him to the end, just as they did when he was a child! Why should he look for work when his family—his parents—are prosperous?
Just the day before, his mother said that she had spent half of the family's savings just to buy him a wife called Yue something.
Yue…
Yue Lan?
Yue Yan?
Yue Ran?
Right, Yue Ran!
His wife should be honored that he even remembered her name.
Fei Niu smiled grimly.
It's good to have a wife—someone to finally vent his anger on!
Every time he sees how his father is beating his mother, he gets excited and envious at the same time! Now, he finally has a wife who he could beat anytime and anywhere!
Fei Niu roared with laughter.
What a refreshing feeling!
He cackled with glee while he continued whipping the air with renewed vigor.
"Master, this man definitely has a few screws loose," Ruan Ruan said in Yue Ran's mind.
"Definitely, Ruan Ruan," Yue Ran answered back. "Most definitely."
