The next day, early in the morning.

Li Xiaoyao, as usual, got up early to practice boxing and cook breakfast.

After the events of the previous night, Tang Tiantian’s fondness for Li Xiaoyao had grown further, finding this man to be especially dependable. During breakfast, she couldn’t help but steal additional glances at him.

Li Xiaoyao had long noticed her looking at him, but he didn’t ask. It was better not to embarrass the girl with a bashful disposition.

After breakfast, the two left to hail a taxi. As they neared Tang Tiantian’s workplace, she suddenly asked, "What would you like for dinner tonight? I’ll cook."

Li Xiaoyao paused for a moment, then replied with a smile, "Whatever is fine, I’m not picky about food."

Tang Tiantian smiled sweetly, "You said it, you’re not allowed to complain about my cooking being bad."

"I won’t, I won’t. Even if it’s bad, I’ll eat it," Li Xiaoyao sensed that her affection for him seemed to have deepened.

Tang Tiantian got out of the car, and Li Xiaoyao arrived at his company.

He had barely stepped into the office and warmed his seat when Zhang Meng rushed in through the door in a flurry.

"Big brother Xiaoyao, something’s happened," said Zhang Meng, her phone in hand and panic written across her face.

Seeing her frantic state, Li Xiaoyao quickly asked, "What happened?"

Zhang Meng’s eyes were wild with confusion and distress, "It’s Sister Zhuo, she’s in trouble."

"Zhuo Yi?"

Zhang Meng nodded repeatedly, "Mhm, it’s Sister Zhuo."

Li Xiaoyao came out from behind the desk and seated her on a chair, "Don’t panic, tell me slowly, what’s happened to Zhuo Yi?"

Zhang Meng took a while to compose herself before she finally calmed down.

She took out her phone and said, "Right when I got to the company, I received a text message from Sister Zhuo."

Li Xiaoyao took the phone and saw the message Zhuo Yi had sent: only two words, "Save me!"

Li Xiaoyao and Zhuo Yi weren’t particularly close, but after pretending to be her boyfriend the day before, they had become much more familiar with each other. Zhuo Yi would never joke about such a matter; she must have been in extreme danger to have found the chance to send that message.

Li Xiaoyao looked at the time the message was sent; it was ten minutes ago.

The discovery was very timely. Li Xiaoyao looked at Zhang Meng and said, "Meng Meng, go to work, leave this matter to me. I’ll definitely find Zhuo Yi."

Although Zhang Meng was worried, she nodded and said, "Big brother Xiaoyao, I believe in you."

After Zhang Meng left, Li Xiaoyao closed the door to his office, shut his eyes, and released his thoughts from his mind, instantly covering a radius of ten miles.

Li Xiaoyao searched the nearby area, but he couldn’t find Zhuo Yi anywhere. This meant that she was not within this range.

Li Xiaoyao opened his eyes, his brow furrowed.

He didn’t know what exactly had happened to Zhuo Yi, whether she had been kidnapped or had encountered some other danger.

Li Xiaoyao dialed the security department’s number and said once the call connected, "Ask Xiao Quan to come to my office."

Xiao Quan had been a scout, and when it came to tracking, he was definitely more professional than the others.

Soon enough, Xiao Quan knocked and entered, appearing somewhat reserved as he faced Li Xiaoyao, "Director Li, you were looking for me?"

With time of the essence, Li Xiaoyao skipped the pleasantries and got straight to the point, "Xiao Quan, I need your help with something."

Xiao Quan immediately stood at attention, "Director Li, just say the word!"

Li Xiaoyao said, "Xiao Quan, please investigate someone for me, a man named Liu Ming."

```

Xiao Quan asked, "Minister Li, do you have a photo?"

Li Xiaoyao thought for a moment and said, "Follow me."

Time waits for no one, and Li Xiaoyao had to find Zhuo Yi in the shortest time possible.

Zhuo Yi’s life was very regular, with few friends and even fewer enemies, yet now, she was in trouble.

Li Xiaoyao’s first instinct was that this was the doing of Zhuo Yi’s ex-boyfriend, Liu Ming!

Li Xiaoyao asked Xiao Quan to go back and change into his clothes, then they took a taxi to an underground black market together.

The so-called underground black market was a place where anything could be sold, many of which were illicit goods.

Li Xiaoyao was here to buy two fake IDs.

After leaving the underground black market, the two continued non-stop to the Western restaurant where Zhuo Yi had taken Li Xiaoyao to meet Liu Ming the day before.

Before entering the restaurant, Li Xiaoyao whispered a reminder, "Don’t talk later, just stand by my side and look serious."

Xiao Quan’s heartbeat sped up. Since leaving the company, Li Xiaoyao had taken him to buy two fake police badges, and now they were at this restaurant. Xiao Quan, being a former scout, put these details together and suddenly guessed what Li Xiaoyao planned to do.

The two entered the restaurant, and Li Xiaoyao swaggered directly to the cashier’s counter.

The waiter smiled and asked, "What can I do for you, sir?"

Li Xiaoyao took out a police badge from his pocket and flashed it, "Police investigation, we need your cooperation."

The waiter immediately became nervous and nodded repeatedly, "Officer, what do you need us to do?"

Li Xiaoyao said, "The surveillance footage from the second floor from 11:30 to 12:30 yesterday, bring it to me."

Without delay, the waiter brought up the surveillance footage, and Li Xiaoyao gave Xiao Quan a look, "Watch carefully."

Li Xiaoyao adjusted the angle of the surveillance footage and finally pointed at Liu Ming on the screen, saying, "Remember this man, it’s him."

Li Xiaoyao took a photo of Liu Ming with his phone, then he and Xiao Quan turned and left the restaurant.

Li Xiaoyao took Xiao Quan back to the underground black market, and Xiao Quan curiously asked, "Minister Li, why do we keep coming here?"

"You can buy anything in this place." Li Xiaoyao shook his phone and said, "I need to look up Liu Ming’s detailed information."

Li Xiaoyao led Xiao Quan into a small shop, and five minutes later, they came out.

Li Xiaoyao held a stack of papers in his hand, all of which contained information about Liu Ming.

Walking next to Li Xiaoyao, Xiao Quan asked, "Minister Li, where are we going now?"

"Stop calling me minister, it sounds awkward, just call me Brother Li." Li Xiaoyao hailed a taxi, "We’re going to find Liu Ming."

Xiao Quan still hadn’t figured out why Li Xiaoyao was looking for Liu Ming, but seeing him both buying fake IDs and adjusting surveillance footage, Xiao Quan guessed that Liu Ming must have offended Li Xiaoyao in some way.

The information Li Xiaoyao bought showed that Liu Ming’s home was in a civilian house in the suburbs of Ling City.

After getting out of the car, Xiao Quan looked around at the shabby surroundings and smacked his lips, "This place is pretty run-down."

Li Xiaoyao was also surprised. When he talked to Zhuo Yi about her ex-boyfriend the previous day, he had heard from Zhuo Yi that her ex-boyfriend came from a wealthy family and had both a house and a car.

But now, it seemed that wasn’t quite the case.

Li Xiaoyao and Xiao Quan searched for the house where Liu Ming lived, and while they were looking for Liu Ming, not far from them, a policewoman in uniform was also searching for Liu Ming.

If Li Xiaoyao saw this policewoman, he would be able to recognize her at a glance; she was Zhu Xiaoyue, the officer who had brought him back to the station for assistance with the investigation that evening.
