Chapter 753: Chapter 696: A Son of the Zhan Family Comes of Age

Zhan Yunxiao immediately called Yan Yu and asked him to search the basement carefully again.

"There shouldn’t be anything left, we’ve already searched multiple times, and the police have searched too."

Yan Yu didn’t think there could still be any clues.

"Search again. Luoluo said there could be clues, maybe we just haven’t found them," Zhan Yunxiao said.

"Alright, I’ll search again."

Yan Yu could only agree.

Xia Luo: "I’ll go and search myself. I stayed there for three days, so I’m very familiar with it."

"You shouldn’t move around. Stay home and recover properly. I’ll go there myself."

Zhan Yunxiao held her down, preventing her from moving around.

"But..."

"Stay at home; I’ll go over there," Zhan Hanjue said firmly.

"Okay!"

Xia Luo could only dismiss the idea and stayed home obediently.

She fell asleep once more.

Helplessly, feeling a bit hungry, perhaps sleeping would make her not feel the hunger.

Zhan Yunxiao left only after she was asleep, but also called for a servant to stay by her side and keep watch, in case anything happened without anyone knowing.

They were back at their own home now.

Zhan Yunxiao pondered whether to move back to the old residence.

This way, his mother could provide close care.

However, he feared living together might cause conflicts.

After all, they were of different generations, and sometimes his ideas and his parents’ ideas didn’t match.

Xia Luo was of a sensitive temperament, and if conflicts arose between her and his mother, it wouldn’t be good.

He thought as he drove, reaching the apartment door of You Mei, still unsure of what to do.

Yan Yu saw him coming and approached, saying, "Zhan, why did you come too? I’ve searched, but there are really no other clues."

"I’ll take another look," Zhan Yunxiao said.

Yan Yu nodded and led him over.

Returning to the basement, thinking of the torment Xia Luo endured being confined here, Zhan Yunxiao felt an urge to destroy it.

However, now was not the time; this was an important site, and it must be well protected.

He searched thoroughly again; indeed, as Yan Yu said, there were no clues.

Yan Yu: "I told you, there are no clues, Zhan. Let’s not waste time here; let’s search other places."

"Wait a minute."

Zhan Yunxiao stopped suddenly at the door.

"What’s wrong?"

Yan Yu was puzzled.

Zhan Yunxiao walked toward the right corner.

There was a toilet.

Without a door, only a curtain covering it.

Yan Yu said: "That’s just a toilet, there shouldn’t be any clues."

When the police came to search, they even lifted the toilet lid.

"How can we know without checking?"

Zhan Yunxiao said.

He lifted the toilet lid to check, but there was nothing inside.

Yan Yu covered his mouth and nose: "Zhan, stop searching, toilets are quite disgusting. Let’s just leave."

"Found it."

Zhan Yunxiao felt pleased and curled his lips slightly.

Yan Yu looked over in surprise, seeing Zhan Yunxiao pulling out a wrapped package from behind the toilet.

The package was about the size of two palms, wrapped in tape, stuck behind the toilet.

If not carefully searched, it was impossible to know there was something hidden here.

"It’s really hidden here; she definitely has... a heavy taste."

Yan Yu frowned, unable to help but critique You Mei.

Although she was someone he fell for at first sight.

However, most crushes at first sight are just attractions based on appearance.

Now he no longer feels attracted to her, so this infatuation naturally loses its charm.

"She’s clever. Most people would just check the toilet lid, not search behind the toilet. Moreover, the gap here is so small; who would think to hide something in such a gap? She exploited people’s psychological tendencies to hide things here, making them less likely to be discovered," Zhan Yunxiao said.

"Earlier, I didn’t believe she was studying psychology, now I do."

Yan Yu chuckled awkwardly.

"Let’s leave here first," Zhan Yunxiao said.

Yan Yu: "Why not open it here?"

"Did you forget the surveillance?"

"But hadn’t the surveillance already been dismantled?"

"Those we found were dismantled; how about those we haven’t found? So, every move we make now could be under You Mei’s surveillance. Better to leave here and then unwrap it, so she doesn’t gain more control."

"Zhan, you’re so smart, only someone as clever as you can handle her. If she liked you and you liked her, you’d be a perfect match, both being so clever," Yan Yu sighed.
