After Xiao Yu and the others sat down, the car slowly started moving towards the capital city. The journey from the ancient city to the capital only took about two hours by car, so the vehicle didn't go too fast, even on highways it rarely exceeded a hundred kilometers per hour.

No one in the car had eaten yet. Song Shanshan took out some instant food from a bag under her seat. Zhou Ruoying and Song Hualing were not in the mood to eat and couldn't stomach anything. Xiao Yu, having expended a lot of energy drawing talismans earlier, felt hungry too and didn't hesitate to take a piece of bread.

The car slowly entered the capital city, but Xiao Yu felt no bumps or discomfort inside the vehicle, which made him look curiously at the driver in front.

Seeming to understand Xiao Yu's thoughts, both Song Shanshan and Wan Hongguang showed a respectful expression in their eyes. This respect didn't come from power or status but was genuine admiration and honor. They slowly said, "Zhiguo joined the army at eighteen years old and entered the automobile unit of Zangzhou. He has been driving on the Sichuan-Tibet road for three years!"

Even though Xiao Yu had never been to Sichuan-Tibet area, there were many reports about it online. The Sichuan-Tibet road was known as the "Death Road" and "Sky High Pass." Many soldiers lost their lives every year in this region. Therefore, when hearing that the efficient driver in front of him had driven on this so-called death road for three years, Xiao Yu's gaze filled with respect. They were true heroes.

The driver Zhiguo seemed to sense the respect from these powerful men and tightly held onto the steering wheel, his eyes slightly red as he stared straight ahead, driving meticulously and as if they weren't talking about him at all. Only the continuous movement of his throat showed that his heart was not calm.

Those who haven't driven on the Sichuan-Tibet road can never understand the hardships involved. What's reported online is merely a fraction of it. Over these three years, Wang Zhiguo had witnessed and experienced countless deaths; fellow soldiers sharing a dormitory just days prior would not return after being dispatched, with no trace left but their military uniforms and farewell letters sent back home.

The atmosphere in the car was solemn and heavy, slightly oppressive, yet nobody disrupted it. In this atmosphere, everyone seemed to experience spiritual elevation.

The car smoothly entered a high-end residential area where Wan Hongguang's residence was located; this would be their first stop on this trip.

Wan Hongguang’s house had a duplex structure with five bedrooms and three living rooms, covering an area of over two hundred square meters. In the expensive city like Beijing, such property could not be acquired without millions of yuan.

Xiao Yu entered the room and looked around, frowning without stepping further inside. Wan Hongguang, as a secretary of the municipal committee in a provincial city, wouldn’t even be able to afford half of this house with his salary for a hundred years! If Wan Hongguang was indeed corrupt, Xiao Yu would still treat Wan Jiayi, but he would sever all ties with the Wan family.

"Xiao brother, come in quickly.........." Feeling that Xiao Yu had stopped at the door and hadn’t moved inside, Wan Hongguang turned his head to shout out.

But when he saw Xiao Yu frowning outside the door without stepping further in, he was taken aback: "Brother Xiao, what’s wrong Come in quickly!"

Zhou Ruoying and Song Haling, who were about to help Wan Jiayi into the bedroom for a rest, as well as Song Shanshan who had already entered the room and was sitting on the sofa, all turned towards the door when they heard Wan Hongguang’s voice. Upon seeing Xiao Yu standing at the entrance with a frown and no expression while looking at Wan Hongguang's home, they were all stunned. What happened Everything seemed fine just now!

"Yug, what’s wrong Did something happen" Zhou Ruoying and Song Haling had seated Wan Jiayi on the sofa before turning to ask Xiao Yu who was standing at the door with a puzzled expression.

Xiao Yu then slowly stepped into the house. He did not want to repeat the mistake he made in front of Elder Zhong, so he continued to look at Wan Hongguang and put on an awkward smile as he said: "Secretary Wan, your house is quite spacious! It must have cost a lot!"

"Haha, over 200 square meters. In today's market, it’s just over ten million," upon seeing Xiao Yu enter the room, Wan Hongguang thought that he had noticed something amiss about the rooms earlier and assumed he was referring to the house. So, he chuckled and said nonchalantly.

"Haha, so civil servants earn so much Perhaps I should switch careers," upon seeing how casually Wan Hongguang mentioned over ten million, Xiao Yu gave a cold laugh as he spoke.

At this point, Wan Hongguang and the others could sense that something was off about Xiao Yu’s tone, especially Song Shanshan and Zhou Ruoying. Earlier, they had seen how indifferent Xiao Yu was to over ten million, yet now he made such a remark

Affected by this, Wan Hongguang took a moment to think before he understood the situation. After all, no official is not skilled at reading people, and it’s an essential skill for anyone in politics. So, he said: "How could a civil servant earn that much money!! This house was paid with the profits from Haling's investments in Shanshan’s company!"

Wan Hongguang didn’t point out the implication of Xiao Yu’s words to avoid an awkward situation later. He simply gave a side answer while explaining how he had acquired his home.

"Oh..." Xiao Yu stared at Wan Hongguang the whole time, and after seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, nodded slightly with a gradually easing expression.

Xiao Yu stopped talking and opened his Yin-Yang life-and-death eyes. He slowly ascended the stairs, entering each room but found nothing of significance.

After coming down from upstairs, Xiao Yu also made rounds in the first floor, not even missing out on the kitchen balcony. However, he hardly encountered any evil yin energy anywhere, let alone someone's life spirit.

"Xiao Brother, how is it" Song Hushan asked anxiously when he saw Xiao Yu return to the living room after making rounds in every single room.

"No discoveries whatsoever!" said Xiao Yu as he slowly shook his head.

"The rest of the places can only be searched at night. She might not even be hiding there now." After saying this, Xiao Yu paused and continued to say.

"Alright then, let's all have a rest for now! We need to go out tonight," Wan Hongguang said with disappointment visible on his face after hearing that Xiao Yu hadn't found anything.

“Hmm,” nodded Xiao Yu, continuing: "Brother Song and Brother Wan don’t need to search tonight. Instead, find a couple more women to help!"

A man possesses yang energy which is abundant in vitality. Furthermore, Wan Jiayi’s life spirit was highly sensitive. Upon sensing heavy yang energy or ample vital qi, it would run away far away.

Xiao Yu paused and then said: "Find some of Jiayi's frequently worn clothes as well; we will need them tonight."

Upon hearing that Xiao Yu needed Wan Jiayi’s clothing, Song Hualing and Zhou Ruoying helped Wan Jialing to their room. Soon afterwards, Song Hualing came downstairs carrying two stacks of Wan Jiayi's clothes.

In the evening, a knock on the door was heard. "It should be those female soldiers I asked to come," thought Song Huali as he got up to open the door.

When he opened the door, three people were standing outside. They were tall and upon seeing that it was Song Huala who had opened the door, they sharply clicked their heels into a military salute: "Commander!"

Song Huala moved aside to let them in.

"Xiao brother, they're all here now. Is there anything else you want to instruct" Wan Hongguang said after the three women had entered.

"When the time comes, each of you will take one of Jia Yi's clothes and go to places she often visited or wanted to visit. Then follow my instructions," Xiao Yu told them seriously.

"Yes, Commander!" The three female soldiers suddenly stood up again, saluting him.

It was completely dark by now, and Xiao Yu handed a piece of Jia Yi's clothes to the three female soldiers, Zhou Ruoying, and Song Huala.

,

"Once you reach your destination, take Jia Yi’s clothes with you. When I tell you to shout, do so loudly: 'Jia Yi, come back!'” Xiao Yu instructed them carefully before they left, detailing what actions they should take once arriving at places Jia Yi loved.

Xiao Yu and the women quickly went out, their figures appearing in various locations such as amusement parks, cinemas, and parks. However, no trace of Wan Jiayi's soul was found.

"Big Sister Song, are there any other places Jia Yi likes to go" Xiao Yu helplessly asked at around 11 PM after searching half the night without success.red only in shades of black and white without any other colors, he could at least see clearly.Xiao Yu stood by the entrance from which he’d come down and surveyed the surroundings. This was a huge spa...
