Gorgeous Female Tenants

Chapter 259: Positioning Chip

Xu Xiangbei had no time to discuss the boxing match, he asked Dongfang Bai seriously, "Where is Ouyang Jiahui? Have you seen her? Where is she?"

Dongfang Bai asked in confusion, "They were just here, three beauties: Ouyang Jiahui, Xiao Lin, and including Gu Xinyan. I’ve been chatting with friends nearby and didn’t notice where they went."

Dongfang Bai began searching through the crowd, and soon saw Ouyang Jiahui’s distinctly explosive pomelo hairstyle at the hallway entrance of the banquet hall.

"I see Ouyang Jiahui there, along with Xiao Lin."

Seeing Xu Xiangbei arriving, Ouyang Jiahui was so anxious she almost cried, "We’ve searched the entire villa, even went to the second floor and even the men’s bathroom. We can’t find Gu Xinyan."

Xiao Lin followed behind Ouyang Jiahui, also looking dejected.

Knowing there’s no use blaming them, even though he was extremely anxious, Xu Xiangbei remained calm on the surface, instead, he comforted them, "Don’t worry, let’s keep looking. Could she have left the villa and gone to the studio area?"

Thinking of the several large studio-like warehouses nearby, Xu Xiangbei suspected that Gu Xinyan’s curiosity might have led her from the banquet hall to the studio.

A hint of an apologetic smile crossed Xiao Lin’s pale face, "She probably couldn’t go alone, there are several stairs at the villa entrance, she’s in a wheelchair, she can’t get down."

Dongfang Bai’s mind was sharp, "There are surveillance cameras everywhere here. You guys split up and search around. I’ll contact security to get the surveillance footage. Anyone finds a clue, call each other."

They followed Dongfang Bai’s suggestion, searched around the villa separately but still found nothing.

By noon, all the studio doors were closed. Gu Xinyan wasn’t someone who could easily move around; she was in a wheelchair and couldn’t go far.

Xu Xiangbei had a trump card. He sent Gu Xinyan’s phone number to Liu Ningyan and called her, "Beauty, I need your help with something important again. This is the phone number you helped track last time, and I need you to track it again."

Liu Ningyan’s voice came through the phone, relaxed, "I already have her SIM card info on my computer; this will be quick. Two minutes will do it. Is Gu Xinyan your girlfriend? Her ID photo is so beautiful. Has she gone missing again?"

Liu Ningyan, who had tracked Gu Xinyan’s phone before and knew her personal information, had a hint of jealousy in her laughter.

Xu Xiangbei couldn’t contain his urgency, "She’s disabled, sitting in a wheelchair, and has disappeared. I’m worried sick."

Understandingly, Liu Ningyan comforted Xu Xiangbei, "Don’t worry, take your time, we’ll find her. I found her phone at Qinghai Film Company. I’ll send you the location info."

Within two minutes, Xu Xiangbei received Gu Xinyan’s phone location info.

But after checking, they were puzzled; the GPS location showed the phone was still in the villa’s women’s bathroom at Qinghai Film Industry.

Ouyang Jiahui and Xiao Lin searched the women’s bathroom again and found Gu Xinyan’s discarded phone in the trash bin, already turned off.

The trump card was broken; Xu Xiangbei realized Gu Xinyan hadn’t just wandered off. She had been abducted, or else she wouldn’t have turned off and discarded her phone.

The suspect was cunning, predicting that Gu Xinyan’s phone would be tracked, so they discarded it.

At this moment, Dongfang Bai rushed in, panic-stricken, "Found her, a masked and cap-wearing man wheeled her away, got her into a van, and left the set about ten minutes ago."

Dongfang Bai showed a photo taken with his phone to Xu Xiangbei; surveillance camera resolution was low, capturing only a man wheeling Gu Xinyan into a van.

Ouyang Jiahui and Xiao Lin were anxious, "What should we do? Should we call the police?"

Xu Xiangbei remained composed, "Wait a moment, I have another plan."

Since Gu Xinyan’s solo date with Liu Yuxing last time, Xu Xiangbei had installed a tracking chip in her wheelchair, having another precaution.

With a dual approach, let’s see how you elude my grasp. Didn’t expect it to come in handy this time.

If the phone tracking fails, they would try the wheelchair’s tracking chip.

Using a phone app tracking program, Xu Xiangbei quickly pinpointed Gu Xinyan’s location—a familiar hotel name, Wanlong Hotel, the same hotel where Gu Xinyan had met Liu Yuxing last time.

Xu Xiangbei immediately became alert, "Where is Liu Yuxing?"

Ouyang Jiahui thought for a moment, "Strange, he hasn’t shown up all day."

Dongfang Bai reminded, "Brother Liu Yuxing was here before the noon banquet started; I chatted with him, but he disappeared later. He’s a busy man, who knows where he went."

Upon hearing Xu Xiangbei mention Liu Yuxing, Xiao Lin became tense, her delicate white fingers nervously fiddling with her clothes, speaking in a weak, cat-like voice, "Dr. Xu, you don’t think Liu Yuxing abducted Gu Xinyan, do you? He shouldn’t be that kind of person."

Xu Xiangbei sneered, "Last time, he arranged to meet Gu Xinyan, then left first, almost causing her to fall down the stairs. He’s likely behind this again. His intentions have never been good; it was his idea for Gu Xinyan to audition in Earth Sea. If I find out it’s him, I won’t let him off."

Xiao Lin’s blue eyes grew misty with tears, her expression turning sorrowful.

Xu Xiangbei suspiciously looked at Xiao Lin, recalling the photo he saw at her home, realizing they were once a couple, knowing his words had hurt her.

He sighed softly, "I know you once had a relationship with Liu Yuxing, but people change, and he may have changed without you knowing, while you still linger in past illusions of him."

Ouyang Jiahui, holding Xiao Lin’s arm, comforted, "You’ve long parted ways with him, what he does is unrelated to you, no need to be upset for him."

Dongfang Bai took out his car keys, "Enough talking, let’s hurry to Wanlong Hotel to find Miss Gu, the surveillance shows she didn’t leave long ago, and it’s only a twenty-minute drive from here."

Xu Xiangbei snatched the car keys from Dongfang Bai, "Dongfang Bai, give me the car keys, I’ll drive."

It was a white French SUV, Xu Xiangbei drove hard, shifting gears and accelerating, forcing the SUV to move as fast as a Porsche.

Worried about Gu Xinyan’s safety, Xu Xiangbei ran two red lights and reached Wanlong Hotel in just ten minutes.

If it weren’t for the high steps at Wanlong Hotel, Xu Xiangbei would have almost driven the car straight into the hotel lobby.

Xu Xiangbei hurriedly ran into the hotel lobby, coincidentally encountering the same receptionist beauty from last time.
