Chapter 293 Looking for someone
Ye Xi kept pressing the elevator button, but unfortunately, just as Jiang Yixuan said, this floor was completely under his control. The lights would not turn on and the elevator would not stop. It seemed as if this place was isolated from the world.

"Do you want to keep running?" Jiang Yixuan stood behind her with a smile, watching her make her final struggle.

There was no way out, and she couldn't run anywhere even if she wanted to.

"system."

The system seemed to be dead, no matter how she shouted or cursed, there was no response.

"System?" Jiang Yixuan raised an eyebrow, both surprised and not surprised. "No wonder it always swore to me that you would help it. It turns out it's bound to you, too. But now it won't respond to you. When you awakened, it should have told you that everything in this world must serve the hero, including it, of course."

"To you, it could be a super-intelligent plug-in that saves you, assigns you tasks, and provides you with assistance, like a god, with mercy and support for you."

Jiang Yixuan said lightly, "But to me, it's just a tool."

"A tool that is not easy to use and can be turned off at any time."

Ye Xi felt that there seemed to be some hidden information in these arrogant words, but her brain had begun to be unable to think.

Jiang Yixuan squatted down, pinched her chin, and admired her powerless and forbearing look.

"I don't know whether I should praise your perseverance for being able to hold on for so long. But, this is probably your limit now."

Indeed, as he said, Ye Xi had almost completely lost her hearing and vision. She felt as hot as if she had been pulled out of the water. Her mind was full of thoughts of finding something to cool down quickly. She even pulled up her collar to take off her clothes.

Jiang Yixuan's touch was like a person who was about to die of thirst suddenly touching a source of water, and he couldn't wait to pounce on him and drink it.

Jiang Yixuan looked at Ye Xi like a newborn baby. She held his hand tightly because of his brief touch, and even pressed her whole face against his arm. The next step was to put his hand into her clothes.

He curled the corners of his lips, leaned over and picked up Ye Xi.

"It's time to get down to business."

He carried Ye Xi towards the previous room and didn't notice that the elevator behind him, which had been quiet all the time, had some rustling sounds coming from it.

An hour ago, at the bottom of the stairwell, on a certain floor, a slender figure stood in front of a group of people, his face gloomy: "Haven't you found it yet?"

The people below looked at each other in bewilderment. "We're still searching. The entire hotel has more than a hundred floors, and the surveillance is broken. It's going to be hard to find it in such a short time."

Moreover, not all rooms are vacant, and it is even more difficult to find people in rooms that are already occupied. Even with the support of President Fu, most people will actively cooperate, but there are also some with bad personalities who are unwilling to give face to anyone, which wastes a lot of time.

"Did I call you here just to hear this? If you can't find it, keep looking! If there aren't enough people, keep adding more!"

Fu Linchuan rarely gets so angry, but there's nothing he can do about it. Now he's almost going crazy.

The Ye family was also looking for someone. This hotel was owned by the He family. The two families were related by marriage and had cooperation. They originally wanted to ask He Zisheng for help, but they suddenly learned that He Zisheng was missing.

The head of the He family had been in poor health a few days ago, and the leadership of the He family had been given to He Zisheng. Now that He Zisheng is missing, the people in charge of the He family should have been the uncles and aunts who had coerced the head of the He family into following him. However, no one expected that they would all run into trouble overnight, and finally the He family fell into the hands of someone no one expected: He Jinming.

This man, who was previously seen by everyone as mediocre in ability, with an unlikable personality, and inferior to He Zisheng in every way, suddenly seemed like a completely different person. Ruthless and unscrupulous, he seized control of the He family with lightning speed before anyone else could react. He Zisheng's disappearance must have been orchestrated by him as well. Now that Ye Xi is missing, the Ye family is in chaos, and the other families in Yun City are watching from the sidelines. For a time, the He family has truly been left to He Jinming's whims.

Fu Linchuan was also looking. He specifically looked for rooms with people in them. Some people in the rooms were busy with something, and when they were interrupted by him, they came out angrily and wanted to curse, but when they saw Fu Linchuan, they were so scared that they almost fell down.

"you you."

The situation was urgent and the He family was unwilling to cooperate, so Fu Linchuan had to resort to some tough measures. Country E did not have as strict control over weapons as Country L. Here, as long as there was a channel, anything could be obtained.

Fu Linchuan was wearing gloves, but his hands were held steady, his face expressionless, and a row of people followed behind him, like the devil from hell.

"I will be responsible for all the expenses and losses incurred by Yunbin Hotel today. I hope you will cooperate. I will compensate you accordingly after I finish my work. However, if you insist on hindering me, then..."

The other party heard the sound of the gun being loaded, and just as he stood up, his legs went limp with fright.

"Please do as you please!"

Things went much more smoothly after that, and the efficiency of the men in finding people also increased a lot, but more than half an hour passed and they still found nothing.

Fu Linchuan didn't know how many times he had looked at his watch. So much time had passed, and he really didn't dare to think whether it was too late.

Just when he was so anxious that he didn't know what to do, he suddenly heard a tiny voice.

"I know where she is."

He had heard this voice before, a voice he had once longed for and hated immensely. Hearing it now was like the last straw that saved his life.

When he spoke, he still had a cold indifference that kept strangers away: "Speak!"

The voice seemed hesitant, but Fu Linchuan didn't have time to negotiate with it. "No matter what you ask, I will agree. As long as you help me find her, I promise that I won't regret it later. You can come to me at any time to fulfill your promise. Can you tell me now?"

He was willing to put aside all the grudges for the time being as long as it could help her find the stream.

The system seemed to sense his anxiety and didn't keep him in suspense any longer: "89th floor, room number is 8916."

It was a number without any characteristics or special meaning. If they were to look for it on their own, they might not be able to find it until tomorrow morning.

Fu Linchuan immediately entered the elevator and anxiously pressed 89, but the elevator could not stop at the floor he wanted to go to. It was as if that floor was deliberately isolated.

After pressing the button twice with no response, he decisively pressed the up and down elevator buttons, but neither of them could reach the upper or lower floors. In the end, he only pressed the button that lit up the 86th floor.

The elevator went up quickly. Under his command, this elevator was temporarily used exclusively for him. There was no stop in between, and the elevator went directly to the 86th floor.

Another two minutes passed.

After getting out of the elevator, Fu Linchuan went straight to the nearest emergency passage and climbed up one floor at a time. He climbed very fast, reaching three floors in less than 20 seconds.

However, the corridor door on this floor was locked.
