Meanwhile, inside a hospital in the bustling downtown area of ​​Suzhou.

Lin Zhiyi felt that her vision was blurry, as if there was a thin veil, hazy and mysterious.

A faint light pierced the darkness like a needle tip, barely visible.

She felt weak and sore all over, as if she were being suppressed by an invisible force, making it difficult to move.

Whispers reached my ears, their voices urgent and low.

Lin Zhiyi's consciousness slowly returned after she woke up, and the scene that happened in the early hours of last night came to mind.

She remembered that Chu Siqi had been taken away by two men in black who appeared out of nowhere.

Upon realizing this, Lin Zhiyi suddenly became anxious and, disregarding everything else, abruptly opened her eyes.

The intense light stung her eyes, but Lin Zhiyi didn't care. She didn't even look at her surroundings before getting out of bed.

However, her body had no strength at all, like a fish out of water, only able to thrash slightly.

Before Lin Zhiyi could make a further move, the tightly closed door was suddenly opened, and two figures walked in.

The person who took the lead was Chu Tianxiong, with Jiang Jing following behind him.

Upon seeing Lin Zhiyi wake up, Chu Tianxiong's expression instantly turned excited. He quickly went to the bed and asked, "Where is Chu Siqi?"

Looking at the anxious middle-aged man in front of her, Lin Zhiyi subconsciously shrank back. She didn't know that this man was Chu Siqi's father.

Chu Tianxiong realized he had lost his composure and quickly calmed himself down, saying slowly, "Excuse me, I am Siqi's father. Were you with Siqi last night?"

When Chu Tianxiong returned from the company last night, he found Chu Siqi's door wide open, but she was nowhere to be seen.

Overwhelmed with love for his daughter, Chu Tianxiong immediately asked the driver, only to learn that she had already returned, but had now mysteriously disappeared again.

Chu Tianxiong immediately checked the surveillance footage and discovered that Chu Siqi had secretly slipped out while the servants were resting.

When Chu Tianxiong dialed her number, it was switched off, which immediately made him feel uneasy.

Then, a citywide search was launched to find Chu Siqi. They even found the taxi driver and learned from him that the destination was a park near Shenwu University.

When Chu Tianxiong arrived at the park with the offerings, he found only the unconscious Lin Zhiyi and took her back to the hospital.

Moreover, according to the park's surveillance footage at the time, Chu Siqi was indeed with Lin Zhiyi.

However, later on, the surveillance footage appeared to be affected by a magnetic field, turning the image completely white.

When the scene returned, Chu Siqi's figure had disappeared, leaving only Lin Zhiyi lying on the ground.

According to Peng Ping, who was serving him, Lin Zhiyi was subjected to a spell by a cultivator, but he fell into a coma and showed no signs of injury.

Chu Tianxiong waited for Lin Zhiyi to wake up, knowing that Lin Zhiyi, who was present at the scene, must know what had happened.

During this time, his people were also searching for Chu Siqi outside, and even Jiang Jing, who was by his side, mobilized the Jiang family to search together, but there was still no trace of her.

Upon hearing that the person in front of her was Chu Siqi's father, Lin Zhiyi finally felt relieved and immediately told Chu Tianxiong what had happened last night.

boom!

After hearing the whole story, he slammed his hand on the table.

"It's that brat Shen Shuchou again, making Siqi sad time and time again."

Chu Tianxiong's face was filled with anger.

This sudden turn of events startled Lin Zhiyi; she hadn't expected the other party to react so strongly to the name Shen Shuchou.

"Uncle Chu, don't be angry. Right now, finding Siqi is the priority. As for Shen Shuchou, leave this to me. I guarantee he will never come near Siqi again."

Jiang Jing said, standing beside him.

Ever since that incident, he had harbored resentment towards Shen Shuchou, and now was the perfect opportunity for him to take action.

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyi realized that Jiang Jing was also there, and that he was plotting against Shen Shuchou.

"Actually, this matter doesn't have much to do with Shen."

Lin Zhiyi steeled herself and looked at Chu Tianxiong.

No matter what, Shen Shuchou was her junior, and she couldn't just stand by and watch someone harm her.

Her only option was to try and dissuade Chu Tianxiong.

Chu Tianxiong glanced at her, choosing to ignore her words, which also tacitly acknowledged Jiang Jing's statement.

He said nothing, nor did he reveal to Jiang Jing that the other party was suspected to be backed by a Golden Core Realm expert.

Neither Shen Shuchou nor Jiang Jingchu Tianxiong liked it.

One was someone who repeatedly hurt her daughter's feelings, and the other was a playboy.

Since Jiang Jing brought it up, let them fight it out.

Seeing this, Lin Zhiyi didn't know how to continue. After all, he was Chu Siqi's father. For now, she could only wait until they returned to school and ask Shen Shuchou to be more careful.

Speaking of Shen Shuchou, Lin Zhiyi suddenly remembered that Chu Siqi seemed to have said something to her a second before she lost consciousness.

Lin Zhiyi couldn't help but try to recall Chu Siqi's lip movements.

After a moment, Lin Zhiyi was able to decipher a sentence from Chu Siqi's lips.

Go find Shen Shuchou quickly.

Lin Zhiyi read these words aloud in her mind, and then she was stunned.

I don't quite understand what Chu Siqi meant by her last sentence.

Would it be of any use to ask Shen Shuchou for this?

Lin Zhiyi looked at Chu Tianxiong, who had a worried expression, and wondered whether she should tell him what she had said.

But then he thought about Chu Tianxiong's attitude towards Shen Shuchou, and in the end, he didn't say it.

At that moment, another figure walked out of the ward.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Chu Tianxiong immediately went to greet him, his expression tense, and asked, "How is it, Elder Peng? Is there any trace of Siqi?"

Peng Ping frowned and said, "I have searched every corner of Suzhou with my divine sense, but I have not found any trace of the young lady."

Upon hearing this, Chu Tianxiong nearly went limp.

Peng Ping quickly helped him up and channeled his inner energy to calm him down.

He then continued, "There are only two possible outcomes in this situation. The first is that the other party is stronger than me, so my divine sense naturally cannot detect them. The second is that the other party has taken Miss out of Suzhou City."

"If it's the first method, it's easier to solve; you just need to pay the price to find a cultivator with higher cultivation. The second method is more troublesome."

The concentration of spiritual energy on Earth is increasing dramatically, especially in the last few days.

Even so, Peng Ping had only just advanced from the Spirit Realm to the early stage of the Tribulation Core Realm.

The Golden Core Realm is not as rare as it used to be. Even after Su Changkong reached the Nascent Soul Realm, there is now another Nascent Soul Realm expert on the surface.

Upon hearing this, Chu Tianxiong's first thought was to try the first scenario.

But at that moment, Chu Tianxiong's cell phone suddenly rang in the room.

When he took it out to look at it, he found that the caller was Chu Siqi.

Chu Tianxiong's face lit up with joy. Suppressing his excitement, he quickly pressed the answer button and asked in a trembling voice, "Siqi, is that you?"

"Master Chu, you truly dote on your daughter."

A deep, hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone.

Upon hearing that it wasn't Chu Siqi on the other end of the phone, Chu Tianxiong's expression changed instantly. Suppressing his anger, he asked, "Who are you? What have you done to Siqi?"

"Don't worry, your daughter is sleeping. Don't be afraid."

A deep, hoarse voice quickly responded.

"Who exactly are you? What will it take for you to release Siqi?"

Chu Tianxiong said with a gloomy face.

"Since we're the ones who did it, we won't release them easily. However, we don't have the power to decide. We're just doing our job for money. As for who we are, I think the name 'Netherworld Ghost' might give you the answer you're looking for."

Chu Tianxiong didn't know what a ghost was, but from his words, he understood that someone had paid to kidnap Chu Siqi.

"Whoever ordered you, I, Chu Tianxiong, will repay you a hundredfold, as long as you bring Siqi back safe and sound."

Upon arriving here, Chu Tianxiong practically roared.

"Master Chu, please don't be so naive. I'm just calling to let you know that we shouldn't waste our energy searching the whole city. We might end up losing everything."

Immediately afterward, a soft laugh came from the other end of the phone, completely unconcerned about the furious Chu Tianxiong.

Just as Chu Tianxiong was about to continue speaking, the call was disconnected. Undeterred, he dialed back, only to find that the other party's phone was switched off.

Bang!

Chu Tianxiong's eyes burned with fury, and his body trembled slightly with rage.

He clenched his fist tightly and slammed it against the wall with all his might.

With a dull thud, his fist struck the wall. Instantly, his clenched fist turned bright red, and pain shot through his body like an electric current.

However, the excruciating pain could not suppress the turbulent emotions within him.

Chu Tianxiong's chest heaved violently, his breathing rapid and heavy, as if he were exhaling all his anger.

Peng Ping, who was standing nearby, overheard the entire conversation between the two. When he learned that the other party was actually a ghost, his expression changed drastically.

As a cultivator, Peng Ping had some understanding of the Netherworld Ghost organization.

The Underworld is a mysterious organization, and as its name suggests, they are omnipresent like ghosts.

Perhaps, on a bustling street, the seemingly ordinary passerby next to you could be a member of the underworld.

They are adept at concealing their identities and blending into the crowd, making them difficult to detect.

Moreover, the Netherworld Organization has a very good reputation in the industry. They basically take on all kinds of jobs, from assassinating a country's president and hunting down high-level cultivators to kidnapping civilians. As long as the price is equal, they will accept the job.

Once they make a move, they almost never fail, and even if they do fail, they always get a full refund of the cost.

And they will also launch a frenzied revenge against the factor that caused the mission to fail.

This is precisely what makes the Netherworld Organization so terrifying; no one knows just how strong they are, nor where they are hiding.
