After understanding animal language, the villainous girl is guaranteed to become a heartthrob.

Chapter 379 "She's in the little house on the top floor."

Upon hearing what Orange Ocean said, Uncle Sheng was immediately shocked. "Is...is this true?"

“It’s true!” Orange Sea nodded solemnly. “Absolutely true! My uncles are on their way.”

Uncle Sheng also said angrily, "How could your father do this? He's confused!"

Orange Sea pleaded, "Uncle Sheng, this house also represents my mother's hard work. She spent most of her life in it. Please don't sell it yet."

"Okay!" Uncle Sheng immediately agreed, "I won't sell it! I'll keep it for you!"

"Thank you, Uncle Sheng!" Orange Sea bowed gratefully.

Uncle Sheng quickly helped her up. "Xiao Ju, if there's anything I can do to help, just let me know, and I'll definitely help."

"Okay, I'll be going now, Uncle." Ju Zi Hai took a few friends home.

She moved here when she was in kindergarten. At that time, the house didn't have any decent furniture, which Cui Li added little by little later.

Everywhere in the house, there were traces of where my mother had lived.

As Ju Zi Hai walked into the kitchen, she seemed to see her mother wearing an apron, busily working in front of the stove.

“Beautiful Mom.” She approached, only to realize that it was all a hallucination.

Her beautiful mother will never come back.

It's all Liao Hongbiao's fault.

How could he be so cruel...?

Ju Zihai stared at the knives on the cabinet, her temples throbbing. For a fleeting moment, she had the urge to kill Liao Hongbiao and make him apologize to her mother in the afterlife.

The night was like a giant silk ribbon, enveloping the entire city.

Jiang Yuan sat in a rocking chair, looking up at the dark night, her brows furrowed with deep sorrow.

Zeng Shirui, where are you?
The Criminal Investigation Division was brightly lit, and everyone there had a furrowed brow and a solemn expression.

More than 30 hours have passed since Zeng Shirui went missing.

The longer it goes on, the more tense the situation becomes.

They had cracked Zeng Shirui's phone password, but she had deleted all the chat content.

Our technical investigation team is trying to recover the data, but the chances are slim.

After listening to Si Heng's report, Lou Qinglin frowned and asked, "Is there still no news from Xiao Jiang?"

Si Heng shook his head.

Lou Qinglin sighed softly, "Keep an eye on the surveillance, expand the scope, and don't miss any possible locations."

"Understood." Si Heng left the office, glanced at the time on his wristwatch, and his handsome face showed a heavy expression.

Time ticked by, and Zeng Shirui's parents called again to inquire about their daughter's whereabouts.

“Mr. and Mrs. Zeng, I understand you very well…” Meng Xiaokai patiently comforted the family members.

At 9:57, Si Heng's cell phone suddenly rang.

He saw the caller ID and immediately answered the phone, "Jiang Yuan."

“Mary and the others found Zeng Shirui.” Jiang Yuan said on the phone as she hurried towards the parking lot. “Mary said Zeng Shirui has moved to another place. That person said he wants to test her…”

She got into the driver's seat, switched to speaker mode, and said while fastening her seatbelt, "It's a test of whether she truly loves him, whether she can overcome her fear and do anything for him."

Jiang Yuan drove the car, her clear voice tinged with seriousness, "Is it even worth sacrificing one's own life?"

"Share location, I'll take men there immediately," Si Heng said sternly. "We have a lead, Xiao Kaiziqi."

"Received!" Meng Xiaokai and Chen Ziqi replied in unison.

Jiang Yuan shared her location in a WeChat group chat.

Si Heng said in a deep voice, "Is that person trying to force Zeng Shirui to end her own life?" "Probably," Jiang Yuan said. "He said on the phone that he would call Zeng Shirui in twenty minutes and tell her to do as he instructed."

She frowned. "I'm not sure how much time I have left, so I can only drive there as fast as I can."

“Okay.” Si Heng looked ahead and said firmly, “As long as it’s safe, you can speed and run red lights. I will handle the rest.”

"Understood." With those words, Jiang Yuan floored the accelerator.

She didn't hang up; she placed her phone on the passenger seat.

Mary moved her phone around and explained, "Yuan Yuan, Que didn't mean to contact me so late. Que already knew about this very late."

“I know.” Jiang Yuan glanced at it quickly, trying to soften her tone. “Mary, we appreciate your help and don’t blame you.”

"That's good!" Mary breathed a sigh of relief. "Then I can rest assured!"

Jiang Yuan then asked, "How did you find her?"

Mary: "It wasn't the sparrow that found her. Two crows saw the human girl and were talking about her with their companion. The sparrow's friend just happened to overhear them."

"So that's it."

"Yes, when Que went to confirm the location, she happened to run into that human girl on the phone, and Que ran over to tell you without saying a word."

“Mary, you did a great job.” Jiang Yuan wanted to free one hand to pat the little one’s head, but the car was going too fast, and she didn’t dare to let go of the steering wheel.

"We're almost there!" Mary said, staring ahead. "Yuan Yuan, the roads inside are narrow, so we'll have to park outside again."

"I understand." Jiang Yuan parked the car on the side of the road, grabbed her phone, and ran after Mary.

"We're almost there," Si Heng said softly.

"Okay." Jiang Yuan was panting as she ran through the alleys of the urban village.

Hearing her rapid breathing, Si Heng reminded her worriedly, "Be careful."

"Understood," Jiang Yuan replied softly, and only slowed down when she heard Mary say they were almost there.

Zeng Shirui was locked up in a dilapidated residential building in an urban village tonight.

Mary said, "She's in a small room on the top floor."

This building has nine floors.

Jiang Yuan switched her phone back to earpiece mode and explained the situation. "I'll go upstairs first."

"Be very careful," Si Heng instructed.

"Okay." Jiang Yuan quickly climbed the stairs.

At this moment, a faint light bulb illuminates the small, dark room on the top floor, and a cell phone screen lights up in the corner.

Zeng Shirui held her phone, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.

She held the phone to her ear and whispered, "I... I can prove it to you right now."

A man's voice, tinged with amusement, came through the receiver: "Shirui, you're so brave. You're the bravest girl I've ever met. I like you so much."

"Really?" Zeng Shirui asked excitedly. "Can I see you tonight?"

“Of course.” The man chuckled. “We can meet tonight. As long as you do as I say, we can not only meet, but we can also never be apart.”

"That's wonderful!" Zeng Shirui's eyes revealed a look of longing. "I can be with you forever!"

“Yes.” The man coaxed, “Shi Rui, open the door now, and I’ll be waiting for you outside.”

"Okay." Zeng Shirui got up from the ground and opened the door as instructed, then went out.
