Xia Mian felt completely bewildered, "What happened? Speak slowly." Mu Keying’s voice was on the verge of tears, "My Ah Ling is missing!!!" Hearing this, Xia Mian’s brows immediately furrowed, "Missing?" Mu Keying sniffled, "Yesterday after we returned from the ancestral grave, she wasn’t there. We initially thought she went out messing around again and didn’t think much of it. But she still hasn’t come back! We called her phone, but no one is answering..." Xia Mian blinked, "Shouldn’t you have reported this to the police?" Why are you looking for me? It’s not like I’m a professional missing person investigator. "Miss Xia, Ah Ling’s disappearance is so bizarre!!!" Mu Keying’s voice raised with fear, breaking with a tremor at the end. Xia Mian realized the unusual nature of the situation, "Okay, don’t worry, I’ll come over right away." At this point, Xia Mian vaguely understood that all four major families in Beijing seemed to be targeted. Helping Lu Zechuan extend his life was no longer just about solving the Lu Family’s problems. After all, Shen Man died, and Lu Zechuan’s destiny was still shrouded in darkness, with someone still attempting to alter his fate! When Xia Mian drove to the Ji Family, the place was already in chaos. Ji Changxing was distraught, his face unshaven, and he had turned the whole house inside out, even dismantling the dog’s kennel, but couldn’t find any trace of Ji Ling. "Miss Xia, my Ah Ling is missing!" Ji Changxing clutched his hair with both hands, looking anguished, "Even if she’s rebellious and disobedient, she’s still our biological daughter!" In this world, what parent doesn’t love their child? Xia Mian slightly pursed her lips and looked at Mu Keying, "You said Ji Ling’s disappearance was bizarre, in what way? Tell me!" Mu Keying’s face was pale as she slowly opened her phone, "Miss Xia, Ah Ling is disobedient. If I talk to her harshly, she gets annoyed; if I talk softly, she doesn’t listen. So, to keep track of her whereabouts, I installed a tracking device on her phone. Look, before she disappeared, she was last located here." Looking at the location on Mu Keying’s phone, Xia Mian couldn’t help but furrow her brows deeply. "Cemetery... what was she doing at the cemetery?" The Ji family had their ancestral graves; no ancestors were buried in a cemetery. What was Ji Ling doing there? "She never came out after entering that cemetery. I’ve already sent people to look, but the groundskeeper said they never saw her!" Mu Keying covered her face with her hands, filled with despair and exhaustion. "What’s her birth date?" Xia Mian asked slowly. Ji Changxing quickly replied, "February 29." Xia Mian raised an eyebrow; it’s a rare birthday, as it only comes around every few years. Holding Ji Ling’s birthdate, Xia Mian calculated for a moment, and her eyes suddenly turned serious, "She’s not in any life-threatening danger, but for now, the situation doesn’t look very good either." "Let’s go to the cemetery!" Xia Mian said, turning to leave. Mu Keying and Ji Changxing hurriedly followed, not daring to delay for even a moment when it’s a matter of their daughter’s life and death. No matter how disobedient a child is, they’re still part of their parents; if something were to happen, it would be like taking the parents’ lives! Xia Mian was in one car with Lu Zechuan, while Mu Keying and Ji Changxing led the way in front. Half an hour later, the two cars stopped at the entrance of the cemetery. "Miss Xia, our phone’s location shows that Ah Ling went in here. A living person went inside, but the surveillance footage didn’t catch her, and the security at the entrance didn’t see her either. Miss Xia, a living person couldn’t just disappear into thin air, right?" Mu Keying’s face was full of anxiety, her heart solely focused on Ji Ling. "Don’t worry, she’s still inside." Xia Mian nodded slightly at Mu Keying, offering reassurance. Hearing Xia Mian’s words, Mu Keying felt a bit more at ease. The group didn’t delay further and was about to enter the cemetery but was stopped by the security at the entrance. "Who are you here to pay respects to? Come register first," the security guard said sternly. If no relatives are buried in the cemetery, people aren’t allowed to wander inside. After all, in such a place, the deceased should be respected, and living people wandering around may disturb their peace, which could, in turn, affect the visitors themselves. While the group was confused, Lu Zechuan spoke calmly, "Shen Xiang." The security guard checked the records and then let them into the cemetery. Holding Lu Zechuan’s hand, Xia Mian had mixed feelings. She didn’t know that Lu Zechuan’s biological mother, Shen Xiang, was also buried here. "Since we’re here, we should pay respects to your mother later," Xia Mian said quietly. Lu Zechuan replied with a low hum. Back when his mother had her accident, the Lu Family watched as if it were a joke. As a child, he held on bravely, arranging her funeral and having her ashes buried in this cemetery. The cemetery was cool, surrounded by towering tombstones, and an ordinary person entering would feel a coldness at their back. Although Mu Keying was timid, she mustered the courage to tightly clutch Ji Changxing’s arm, determined to find Ji Ling. "Miss Xia, where is my Ah Ling?" Mu Keying’s voice was on the verge of tears. If they can’t find Ji Ling soon, she might die of fear first. Xia Mian didn’t speak, just narrowed her eyes slightly and walked slowly forward. She knew Ji Ling’s birthdate, calculated her fate, and realized Ji Ling would encounter this calamity but wouldn’t be in life-threatening danger. Mu Keying followed Xia Mian with trepidation, growing more anxious with each step. As they reached the outskirts of the cemetery, it grew more desolate, with some tombstones even in disrepair, as if rarely visited. At the outskirts, the cemetery had many cypress trees, casting patches of shadow on the ground. Mu Keying couldn’t help but shiver, glancing around, "Miss Xia, where are you taking us?" As soon as Mu Keying finished speaking, Xia Mian stopped, motioning in the air with her hand. The next moment, the shifting light revealed more dilapidated tombstones in front of them. Xia Mian’s eyes narrowed, her gaze fixed on a broken tombstone not far away. The tombstone seemed to have been deliberately damaged, with half of it lying on the ground. Another part still stood, with a hand draped over it. The hand was pale, devoid of any color. On the little finger of the hand was a diamond ring, which sparkled brilliantly in the mottled sunlight. Mu Keying’s heart leapt into her throat, "Ah Ling!" This ring belonged to Ji Ling. Was the person behind the tombstone Ji Ling?! Ji Changxing hurried to look behind the tombstone, and upon seeing, his face changed immediately. Behind the tombstone, Ji Ling looked as if all her life’s blood had been drained, her entire body emaciated to skin and bones. In just one night, Ji Ling ended up !
