Chapter 1213: Chapter 1212: The Light of Hope

Shuai, open the door quickly, Jiang is missing!” Qi Feng shouted.

What? Zhao Shuai shouted as he opened the door, ”You said Jiang is missing? How is that possible?” Zhao Shuai said anxiously.

I just went and knocked on his door; it was open. I went in and saw that Jiang wasn’t there, the window was open. What should we do?” Qi Rongfeng frowned anxiously.

Zhao Shuai hurried to Jiang Cheng’s room next door, and it was indeed as Qi Rongfeng said, Jiang Cheng was missing.

How can this be? Did Jiang go out early?” Zhao Shuai looked at the empty room and came out to ask Qi Rongfeng.

No, I asked the security at our house; they didn’t see anyone go out this morning.

Zhao Shuai’s face turned pale instantly, ”Call him, call him,” Zhao Shuai urged while taking out his phone to call Jiang Cheng. Qi Rongfeng was also very worried, staring intently at Zhao Shuai’s face.

No answer, what should we do? Jiang isn’t really in trouble, right?” Zhao Shuai asked Qi Rongfeng incredulously.

Since Jiang didn’t go out, he must be in our house. I’ve already asked people to search for him. Jiang is so capable, nothing will happen to him,” Qi Rongfeng patted Zhao Shuai’s shoulder, comforting him.

No way, I have to find Jiang myself.” Zhao Shuai said and ran out.

Hey? Wait for me, I’m coming too.” Qi Rongfeng shouted.

Zhao Shuai and Qi Rongfeng searched almost the entire Qi Family estate but found no trace of Jiang Cheng, ”Shuai, let’s ask my dad, maybe he has some clues,” Qi Rongfeng suggested.

At this moment, Zhao Shuai’s face was completely pale, ”Right, let’s ask your dad,” Zhao Shuai said, holding onto Qi Rongfeng’s shoulder.

Qi Rongfeng brought Jiang Cheng to the place where they met the Patriarch Qi yesterday.

Only the Patriarch Qi was in the room.

Dad, Jiang is missing,” Qi Rongfeng said to the Patriarch Qi.

What? You mean that scientist Jiang Cheng?” the Patriarch Qi asked wide-eyed.

Yes, I went to find him this morning, but he wasn’t there. We’ve searched everywhere but didn’t find him.

What are we going to do? Ji Yunduo hasn’t been found, and now Jiang is missing,” the Patriarch Qi said, sitting in the chair, holding his head and shaking it.

Mr. Qi, could it be that there’s a passage here that you don’t know about? We’ve searched the entire Qi Family estate,” Zhao Shuai asked beside the Patriarch Qi.

The Patriarch Qi raised his head to look at Zhao Shuai, and suddenly seemed to think of something.

But he immediately lowered his head, ”No, you’ve searched everywhere.

Zhao Shuai saw the Patriarch’s demeanor and exchanged a glance with Qi Rongfeng, who nodded at him and walked up to the Patriarch Qi, ”Dad, our family doesn’t really have a secret passage or something, if there is, you should tell us, maybe Ji Yunduo and Jiang are both inside, if something happens, there are two lives at stake,” Qi Rongfeng said to the Patriarch Qi.

Yes, I know, but, but, sigh,” Qi Ye looked at his son with great reluctance but thought of the family secret and felt he really couldn’t reveal it.

Zhao Shuai saw the Patriarch’s behavior, ”Patriarch, you know Ji Yunduo is the daughter of the Ji Family Patriarch, and Jiang Cheng was personally appointed by my dad as the Chief Scientist at the Imperial Capital Science Academy. Both of them disappeared in your house; can your family escape responsibility?” Zhao Shuai said seriously, without his usual smirk at all.

Qi Rongfeng saw Zhao Shuai’s demeanor, ”Dad, this is the first time I’ve seen Shuai like this, you should tell us, otherwise our family might really be,”

I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you, our family has a passage, but it’s been over a hundred years. Since it was built, only each Patriarch knows about it, and in over a hundred years, except for the first Patriarch who built the tunnel, no one has ever entered it, so even if you know now, don’t go in because you won’t come out. Understand? Rongfeng, I’d rather you be well than our family face ruin,” Qi Ye said with reddened eyes.

It’s okay, Mr. Qi, I’ll go, Rongfeng doesn’t need to,” Zhao Shuai said and was about to leave.

Zhao Shuai, what do you mean? I’m not someone who’s afraid to die, plus you know where the tunnel is, so how can you just leave?” Qi Rongfeng said, pulling Zhao Shuai, looking at him disappointedly.

Dad, I can’t not go. Since you know it’s dangerous, you should have told us earlier, and since people went missing from our house, how can you stop me from going?” Qi Feng looked at Qi Ye and said.

No, you can’t go, I’ll send someone else,” Qi Ye no longer looked sad, he said seriously.

Qi Rongfeng looked at his father, his eyes slowly turning red. His father was obviously thinking of his well-being, but doing this made him even more uneasy inside. ”Fine, I won’t go, but you tell Shuai where the tunnel is. I’m leaving first.” After saying this, Qi Rongfeng turned and left without looking back.

Qi Ye looked at Qi Rongfeng’s departing figure and nodded, then told Zhao Shuai where the passage was.

After knowing the tunnel’s location, Zhao Shuai didn’t let Qi Ye send anyone to accompany him but went to the Qi Family’s research lab himself. Just as Zhao Shuai was opening the passage, he was tapped by someone and turned around to find Qi Rongfeng. Qi Rongfeng glanced at Zhao Shuai, ”I’m going too.”

You shouldn’t go, Rongfeng, your dad said it’s dangerous, Jiang is my good friend, and Yunduo has been like a sister to me since childhood. I can’t let anything happen to them, and you’re also my good friend; I can’t watch you face danger too,” Zhao Shuai said.

If you consider me a friend, you should know Jiang is also my friend. Not going would only make me feel more uneasy inside. I have to go.”

Zhao Shuai looked at Qi Rongfeng, and after a moment, he patted Qi Rongfeng’s shoulder. ”You’re right, let’s go.”

Zhao Shuai and Qi Rongfeng exchanged smiles and entered the passage together.

At this moment, Jiang Cheng had already discovered a precise way out. In the far corner of the secret room, he wrote directions for leaving. Jiang Cheng had been translating the text on the walls non-stop since he came in. Now, finally seeing a glimmer of hope, disregarding his body’s exhaustion, he decided to leave immediately.

Ji Yunduo woke up early in the morning. With Jiang Cheng’s thermal bottle, she didn’t feel cold. When she woke up, she found Jiang Cheng still studying the method to get out, so she walked up to Jiang Cheng. ”Jiang, Big Brother, Yunduo, you’re awake.” Jiang Cheng, who had just discovered the way out, heard Ji Yunduo call him by his side. He saw Ji Yunduo no longer looked as haggard as she did when he first found her yesterday, and her mood seemed good too. Jiang Cheng suddenly felt much better. ”I just found the way out. We can leave soon.”

It’s okay, Big Brother, take your time, I believe in you.” Ji Yunduo smiled at Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng suddenly thought about his unique body constitution, which didn’t make him feel hungry, but Ji Yunduo hadn’t eaten in a long time, so he took out a bottle of water and a bag of biscuits from his Jiezhi Bracelet. Jiang Cheng usually kept water in the Jiezhi, but food was only a bag of biscuits.
