Chapter 747: Chapter 694: The Zhan Family’s Son Comes of Age

"Zhan, they’ve tracked down that black car."

On the way, Yan Yu suddenly called Zhan Yunxiao.

Zhan Yunxiao felt a jolt and quickly asked, "What did he say?"

"He said a woman gave him a large sum of money to pick her up at the entrance. But shortly after getting in the car, she left—at a location without surveillance."

"What about the suitcase? What happened to the suitcase You Mei was carrying?" Zhan Yunxiao asked again.

"The suitcase was left in his car. He drove the car to the riverside, then dumped it in the river. They found him through clues in the salvaged car, and also found the suitcase. However, the suitcase was empty," Yan Yu said.

As expected.

Zhan Yunxiao’s eyes darkened; he wasn’t wrong about this. Xia Luo wasn’t in the suitcase at all.

Xia Luo had never left that house.

They had been fooled by You Mei’s surveillance from the start. That woman was indeed clever, using an empty suitcase to deceive them.

"Zhan, what do we do now?" Yan Yu asked.

"Leave it to me. Come back immediately; I know where they are."

Zhan Yunxiao hung up the phone.

Soon, they arrived at You Mei’s apartment.

After getting out of the car, the group headed straight inside the house, locating the door to the basement.

However, they were disappointed to find an empty basement when they opened the door.

It was cluttered with sundries, boxes piled up inside, completely different from the image they saw on the video.

"How could this be?" Ye Ningwan frowned.

Feng Jiuzun said, "This isn’t what we saw in the video. Did we guess wrong? Maybe they were never in this house’s basement."

"It’s impossible to be wrong," Zhan Yunxiao said. "Yan Yu also said the suitcase was empty, meaning Luoluo never left the house. She must still be here. Keep searching; she must be here."

Saying this, he opened one of the boxes.

But the box was full of dirt. So many boxes—no one knew why so much dirt was contained in them.

Xunyou frowned in thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "I think I know where it is."

Zhan Hanjue also had a hunch.

However, to avoid alerting You Mei and putting Xia Luo in danger, they planned to catch her off guard.

Even their footsteps were cautious, for fear of making any sound.

In this area, Xunyou was an expert.

She instructed the others to wait upstairs while she explored for an entrance alone.

Quickly, she found the entrance and called Zhan Yunxiao to join her.

"I’ll come in with you too," Feng Jiuzun said.

Xunyou: "Don’t get in the way. More people will only cause alarm."

"But what if there’s danger?"

Feng Jiuzun was worried, deeply concerned about Xunyou’s safety.

Xunyou rolled her eyes: "Relax, if we go in together, even if there’s danger to you, there won’t be to me. How can a little girl pose a threat to me?"

Feng Jiuzun felt embarrassed.

Ye Ningwan pulled him aside, whispering, "Let’s follow Xunyou’s plan and stay put. Don’t add to the chaos."

"Alright, dear, be careful,"

Feng Jiuzun reminded again.

Xunyou led Zhan Yunxiao down, slowly opening the basement door.

You Mei was indeed very clever.

The apartment originally had a basement, which she used as a cover. She dug out a new basement while the soil was packed in boxes and stored in the outer basement.

This way, the property management would not find out about her digging a basement.

Others would also be misled by her original basement into thinking that’s all there was.

In reality, there was another hidden realm below.

Xunyou gestured to Zhan Yunxiao to be silent, slowly pushing open another door.

Upon entering, there was no pungent odor but rather a faint fragrance.

Xia Luo was tied to a chair, her head lolling as she had fallen asleep.

But You Mei wasn’t there.

The basement was small and dimly lit, though not entirely without light, almost allowing a view of the entire space.

But inside, there was only Xia Luo, no one else.

"Luoluo."

Zhan Yunxiao dashed to Xia Luo’s side.

Xunyou frowned, intending to suggest he check on Xia Luo’s condition while she surveyed the surroundings for any danger.

But before she could speak, Zhan Yunxiao had already rushed over.
