Chapter 381: 249 Hexi Huo Family, Swift and Decisive (2 updates)

The warm sunshine graced the city, and the moment this group arrived, it was as if an army had descended,

instantly tensing the atmosphere.

Especially the last person to exit the vehicle, with his leisurely and indifferent demeanor. Though tall and

slender, clad in somber black, even without speaking, his presence was intensely formidable.

Jiang Cuo hurried over, but before he could speak, he heard a low voice say.

"The photos have been sent to your phones. Pair up, two by two, and search the mountain!" His lips were thin,

his voice even cooler.

Everyone immediately sprang into action, moving efficiently and in an ordered fashion.

Jiang Cuo tilted his head, sizing up this man. Due to his height, he could only look up.

The Huo Family of Hexi!

Beijing's Hexi, historically a region with many mountains and rivers, is a well-known stronghold. His family

originated here, and their surnwas intrinsically linked to Hexi.

Yet, when that man’s indifferent side glance swept over him, their eyes met, sending a shiver through Jiang

Cuo’s heart.

The man was cold and detached, his gaze even colder.

"Is he up on the mountain?" The inquiry was naturally about Jiang Jinsang.

"Mhm."

After replying, he set off towards the mountain, a solitary figure with an entourage that imposed fear.

However, along the way, he encountered Fan Mingyu, who was escorting the old lady and Jiangjiang down the

mountain.

"How ceven you are here?" The old lady looked him over and suddenly remembered, "Look at my memory.

Your his nearby. How could | have forgotten that?"

"Letescort you down the mountain first."

The mountain was vast, and if someone intentionally hid, perhaps even a hundred searchers would struggle to

find them.

Fortunately, though spring had begun, the mountain brush was still drab and withered. If it were the height of

summer, with the underbrush running rampant and insects breeding in swarms, it would truly be difficult.

Usually, ascending and descending the mountain took about an hour. Soon, Jiang Jinsang’s group met up with

those searching from the Hexi side.

"Xiaowu, don’t panic," Jiang Chengsi said, his hand on his shoulder.

Tang Wan couldn't have just vanished into thin air. Jiang Jinsang’s thoughts were in disarray, and he forced

himself to calm down. "This way, followup the mountain. We'll search the nearby areas thoroughly, and

leave no place unchecked."

The mobile phone was unreachable, Ruan Mengxi had mentioned her work was already sorted, and she hadn't

seen Tang Wan. Jiang Jinsang was internally panicking, having completely lost his composure. Now, halfway up

the mountain path, he was just beginning to calm down.

"Follow me, spread out along the way, search upwards. Any place that could hide a person, we won't skip any."

If Tang Wan hadn't intended to descend the mountain, just seeking a quiet spot to make calls, then she likely

hadn’t gone far. Perhaps she was near the ancestral grave site.

Love begets chaos. At the time, Jiang Jinsang wasn’t in the state of mind to analyze much. Quickly marking a

region, everyone began to concentrate their search there.

"Jiang Jiu, take good care of him. I'm going down the mountain to look around. She might have really descended

already, and even if she was taken, there might be straces left behind." Since it was a search for a missing

person, no possibility could be overlooked.

Jiang Chengsi hastened down the mountain. There was no surveillance in the vicinity, so the only thing that

might have recorded something was the dash cam installed in the Jiang family’s vehicles, which ran 24 hours. If

there were any suspicious people going up or down the mountain, as long as they took the mountain road, it

would be recorded.

But checking the dash cam required a connection to a computer.

Now amidst desolate wilderness, where could one find a computer?

"Fourth Master, shall | go borrow a laptop from Hexi?" Jiang Cuo offered.

"You drive too slowly, and going back

and forth would waste too much

He was a car enthusiast, and fortunately, the Jiang family’s vehicles were of excellent performance, or else they

"Bro... brother..." She choked up, trembling in her voice.

Jiang Chengsi went upstairs to fetch the computer, ignoring her, and left as soon as he grabbed the device.

"Brother?" Jiang Shuyan’s face was ghostly pale. "Has something happened?"

Jiang Chengsi arched an eyebrow as he looked at her, "What could have happened?"

"No, nothing, | was just asking.
