CHAPTER 163: CHAPTER 163: JUN XI AND MIAO YAN ARE IN TROUBLE!

In the restroom, An Junxi and Zhang Miaoyan were washing their hands at the sink. At that moment, two cleaning ladies walked in to clean. An Junxi glanced up, wondering why today’s cleaners wore masks. Suddenly, they lunged forward and covered their noses and mouths with something.

The incident happened so suddenly, they were completely unprepared. Zhang Miaoyan quickly passed out.

An Junxi’s first reaction was that the two wearing cleaner uniforms were men. She struggled for a while, then threw the hair tie from her wrist under the sink before losing consciousness.

Gong Xiaoyu soon arrived outside the restroom. She saw a "Cleaning in progress" sign at the door and thought, did they leave the restroom so quickly? But why weren’t they waiting for her outside?

She turned to look outside, and at the corner, she inadvertently looked back and saw two masked cleaners pushing a large recycling bin out. They took the sign at the door and pushed the bin towards the emergency exit of the stairs.

Gong Xiaoyu had a bad feeling. She took a look at the time, and it had only been four minutes since she hung up the phone.

That meant the restroom was still in use four minutes ago, and they were in the restroom then.

Gong Xiaoyu’s eyes fell on the cleaners. They did not look at her. One person pushed open the emergency door, holding it open with their body to prevent it from closing automatically, and they both pushed the bin out with great effort.

How heavy could restroom trash be?

Gong Xiaoyu looked closely at their hands, and her eyes suddenly widened. These were men’s hands!

With this thought, there were even more discrepancies. The two weren’t particularly tall, but their shoes were large men’s sizes.

She was sure they were men.

Gong Xiaoyu’s mind was still racing when the emergency door to the stairs shut.

A frightening thought crossed her mind. She quickly rushed into the restroom and looked around, finding no one.

Because she had already been suspicious, she didn’t overlook any details and indeed found An Junxi’s hair tie under the sink.

This confirmed her suspicion—this was Jun Xi’s signal for help!

Then inside that trash bin just now... Gong Xiaoyu took out her phone with trembling hands and dialed Yue Xiaoyang’s number, urgently and fearfully saying, "Xiao Yang, Jun Xi and Miao Yan are in trouble!"

Yue Xiaoyang’s nerves instantly tightened. He asked, "What happened, where are they?"

Gong Xiaoyu gave the address and explained the general situation.

"Okay, I got it. The area you’re in is very dangerous. Go to the main entrance on the first floor immediately. I’ll send someone to pick you up."

"What about them...?"

"I’ll notify Yi Ke right away. Don’t worry, they’ll be fine."

"Alright, I’ll call you back when I get outside."

The New Era Building was an investment of the Senye Group. Yue Xiaoyang contacted Yin Feibai first, briefly explaining the situation. Yin Feibai didn’t ask any unnecessary questions and said, "I’ll notify the security department to lock down the building immediately."

When Gong Xiaoyu descended to the first floor via the escalator, she found that security was already blocking the exits. Every person leaving was scrutinized carefully before being allowed through.

The mall customers were complaining, but the security explained that a suspicious person had been found in the building, asking everyone to cooperate with the inspection.

She queued up for the inspection, then waited at the entrance.

Yue Xiaoyang called Gu Yikun, but there was no answer.

He hung up and dialed Yu Zheng. Yu Zheng said, "The president is in a meeting."

Yue Xiaoyang quickly explained the incident and said, "We don’t have much information. We should meet at Wansu Technology in fifteen minutes. Also, inform the entire GUT team to stand by, ready for deployment at any moment."

GUT was the codename for the Gu Family’s secretly trained guard team, unknown to the outside world. Each team member had only a number, no name. Their combat skills rivaled or even surpassed those of special forces. Their operations were mysterious, always in the gray area.

Deploying GUT meant it was something very serious.

Yu Zheng knew the situation was grave. He walked quickly to the conference room.

A meeting was in session inside, but Assistant Yu burst in abruptly, interrupting the meeting.

Yu Zheng whispered a few words to the president, and Gu Yikun’s face instantly turned cold, with a hint of hostility in his eyes.

He said, "This meeting is over, dismissed!" and got up to leave the room.

At the Wansu Technology Building.

Gu Yikun, Yue Xiaoyang, Xie Yuchen, and Yu Zheng stood in the tech room. The equipment here was absolutely top-notch in the tech field. At that moment, various-sized screens on the wall were playing surveillance footage from the New Era Building.

Gong Xiaoyu had also been brought there. On the computer was a 3D image of the building. She pointed at the south fire escape on the seventeenth floor and clearly said, "They left through the stairs at 16:23. The two were about 170 cm tall and wore masks, so I couldn’t see their faces."

There was no surveillance in the stairs and freight elevators.

Xie Yuchen’s heart sank. He glanced at Gu Yikun and said, "The staircase door leads directly to the freight elevator. From 23 minutes to sealing the building, eight minutes had passed, enough time for them to leave."

At this time, Yue Xiaoyang took a call and said, "Yin Feibai had people search the whole building and found their handbags in the fire escape garbage bin."

Gu Yikun calmly said, "Extract the footage from 23 to 33 minutes at the exits."

The tech staff operated the system and retrieved the video.

Xie Yuchen said, "Fast forward."

The camera footage rapidly flashed across the screens, and they stared intently at the screens. The ten-minute footage quickly played through.

Gu Yikun said, "Play it again."

The second time, about five minutes into the video, Gu Yikun and Xie Yuchen suddenly said in unison, "Stop!"

The frame froze.

Xie Yuchen pointed at a couple of vehicles at the exits, "Focus on tracking these two vehicles."

Yu Zheng went out to make a call and came back to say, "I’ve notified Director Li. We can hack into the road surveillance system at any time now."

"Excellent," Xie Yuchen instructed his subordinates to begin, and breaking through the firewall was child’s play for the elite at Wansu Technology.

According to road surveillance, there was nothing unusual about the driving records of these two vehicles.

Xie Yuchen and Gu Yikun exchanged a glance, and Gu Yikun firmly said, "Our primary target can’t be wrong. Replay the road surveillance again."

They focused on watching the two vehicles. When it came to the black small truck, it drove into an old district road with no surveillance and reappeared from another road junction.

Gu Yikun kept his eyes on the time and said, "This vehicle stayed inside for about three minutes. Expand the road view coverage."

Next to him, Xie Yuchen suddenly realized—that’s the key.

The tech team adjusted the scale, and after the truck exited the junction, a white minivan emerged from the other end.

Xie Yuchen immediately said, "Track the white minivan and check the license plate information."

In the next two minutes, they were completely certain that An Junxi and Zhang Miaoyan were inside the white minivan.

The vehicle circled around twice and then headed towards the industrial area.
