Hiding her pregnant belly! The wicked ex-wife of the true young master has awakened.

Even though it was late, none of the three intended to rest and headed straight for the address of the upscale resort provided by the police station.

In the car.

Ye Yu suppressed his excitement and calmly made plans.

"I checked the resort's information. The headquarters is in Beijing, and the owner cooperated with us last year. Could we get the guests' check-in information?"

"The reason we can't find Jinzhi's whereabouts might be that she's not using her own identity information; it could be someone else's, or it could be borrowed."

Wen Manchun understood what her son meant.

"Sure, as long as you have the connections, you can access not only guest check-in information but also CCTV footage at will."

Jin Minghan said at the right moment, "I know this boss. He came to Yuncheng on a business trip last year and toasted me at a banquet. We're old friends. I'll contact him now."

Jin Minghan made a phone call and obtained full investigative authority over the resort.

Before I even arrived at the destination, the resort manager called.

"Is this Mr. Jin? How much longer until you arrive? We'll greet you at the door."

"immediately."

Jin Minghan is very polite to people.

"Could you do me a favor? Could you check if a girl named Jinzhi has checked in recently, or if any of you have seen her?"

"Long curly hair, tall, and exceptionally beautiful."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Jin, it's peak tourist season. The resort sees at least 800 to 1,000 guests every day. We can't remember the exact number. Could you please check the check-in information for you?"

"Um."

The car quickly arrived at the entrance of the resort, where the manager and staff greeted them and led them into the reception area.

Tea was served to them.

"Mr. Jin, there is no check-in information for a guest named Jinzhi."

Jin Minghan was momentarily disappointed, but quickly recovered.

As expected.

The manager handed him a tablet.

"Here is the guest check-in information for the last three days. Please take a look."

Jin Minghan handed it to Wen Manchun for inspection.

Ye Yu watched from the side.

I flipped through it for more than ten minutes.

No suspicious names were found.

Ye Yu's expression was deep as he said to the manager, "Recheck the check-in information for the previous five days, as well as the lobby surveillance footage from this Monday."

Today is the fifth day since Jinzhi left home.

The investigation should begin from the first day she left—which was this Monday.

Not a single day can be missed.

Fifteen minutes later, the manager brought the information over.

Wen Manchun looked through it again, while Jin Minghan and Ye Yu joined in the investigation.

Wen Manchun scrolled through two pages quickly, then blinked her sore eyes.

As I get older, my energy isn't what it used to be.

Upon seeing this, Ye Yu took it and examined it carefully.

After turning two pages, the perceptive Wen Manchun pressed down on Ye Yu's hand, "Wait."

Ye Yu: "What's wrong?"

Wen Manchun: "Go back to the previous page, is the second to last name surnamed Zhou?"

Ye Yu's brow twitched slightly, and he turned the page.

A name named Zhou Junrui came into view.

Wen Manchun rubbed her temples, something suddenly popped into her mind, but she couldn't quite recall it.

"It looks somewhat familiar."

Ye Yu's dark eyes flickered.

"Are they members of the Zhou family?"

Wen Manchun patted Jin Minghan's thigh.

"I remember now, this Rui Rui is the adopted daughter of Uncle Zhou. She was good friends with Zhi Zhi before she went abroad to study. She hasn't been back to China in the past few years, and very few people remember her."

Jin Minghan chimed in, "Yes, she's the adopted daughter of the eldest son of the Zhou family. She used to play house with Zhizhi when they were little. No wonder she ran so fast; she had a companion to help her."

He said to the manager, "Check the check-in information for this person named Zhou Junrui, and find out which room she's in."

He put his arm around Wen Manchun's shoulder.

"Honey, it's okay. We'll see Zhizhi soon. But I'm telling you, you must control your temper and not get angry in front of outsiders, otherwise it will have a bad influence."

Wen Manchun pushed him away.

"Do you need to tell me? Even if I'm angry, I'll be angry behind closed doors, but she really needs to be taught a lesson. She just ran away like that, she doesn't respect us at all. We've raised her for nothing..."

The couple were having a heart-to-heart talk, and Ye Yu picked up the ice water beside him and poured it into his mouth.

Only in this way could he suppress his turbulent emotions and tell himself that he must remain calm when he saw Jinzhi, otherwise the situation would become very ugly.

He calmed down a bit after drinking two glasses of ice water.

But my heart was still racing.

Especially when she saw the manager return, it seemed that Jinzhi was also nearby.

He jumped up and asked first, "Which room? Take us there."

The manager apologized, "Ms. Zhou checked in with a lady of similar age, but they checked out this afternoon."

The light in Ye Yu's eyes dimmed little by little, his clenched fingers slowly loosened, his knuckles turned slightly white, and he hung down at his side.

Are you sure?

Manager: "It's all recorded in the system, so there won't be any errors."

Wen Manchun and Jin Minghan were equally disappointed.

Wen Manchun said wearily, "That brat has really grown up; she can run so fast. When we find her, we'll lock her up in solitary confinement!"

Jin Minghan sighed.

"Find her first, at least that will prove she's safe and has someone with her."

Ye Yu sat down on the sofa with a sullen face.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Mom and Dad, it's getting late. Let's rest here for the night and talk again tomorrow."

His voice was flat, revealing no emotion.

Wen Manchun was truly exhausted, both physically and mentally. "Okay."

Manager: "Mr. and Mrs. Jin have come from afar, and the boss specifically instructed us to treat them well. We have arranged the best detached villa with a view for the three of you. Please follow us."

Ye Yu remained seated.

"Mom and Dad, you go ahead, I'll stay here for a while."

After Wen Manchun and Jin Minghan left.

Ye Yu called over the staff.

They checked the afternoon's surveillance footage from the lobby and entrance.

At the same time, turn on your computer.

He typed on the keyboard with a blank expression.

The saying "a cunning rabbit has three burrows" refers to Jinzhi.

But—if I don't find her tomorrow.

His name isn't Ye Yu.

Jinzhi is heartless. Even if he doesn't look for her, he still has to be responsible for the child.

Nine o'clock in the morning.

A guesthouse in an unknown tourist town in Changshi.

In the bedroom.

Jinzhi wrapped herself in the quilt and fussed on the bed for a few moments, then squinted at her phone for a while before slowly getting out of bed.

Stand by the window and breathe in the fresh air.

Blue skies, white clouds, and pleasantly fresh air make it a perfect spot for a picnic and taking photos.

She and Zhou Junrui left the resort yesterday afternoon and drove all the way to this small town, the hometown of Zhou Junrui's German classmate.

One reason is that the scenery is beautiful, and I wanted to come and visit.

Secondly, yesterday afternoon, Zhou Junrui and Zhou Yinche were playing games when she unexpectedly learned from him that the Jin family had reported her missing to the police.

Jinzhi was so frightened that she quickly moved her hideout.

I wish I could kowtow to Zhou Yinche a few times.

This is how we've come this far.

Zhou Yinche was practically her benefactor.

The town is not well-known, and the pace of life is slow. If you are not a local, it is difficult to find this place. The nearest police station is more than ten kilometers away.

After washing up, Jinzhi changed into an exquisite green and white bohemian-style short skirt, wrapped a white headscarf around her long curly hair, and went out in light-colored knee-high boots.

After having breakfast at the landlady's warm invitation, I went to another room to call Zhou Junrui.

"Lazy piggy, wake up! I got you an egg, do you want some?"

Zhou Junrui has been staying up late playing games these past few days as a form of revenge, and not wanting to disturb Jinzhi's rest, she's living separately from her.

She wrapped her head tightly in the blanket, her soft voice hoarse.

"Thank you, Jinbao. I'm not eating. I just fell asleep two hours ago. Don't wake me for lunch. Don't wander off; it's not safe... You're so pretty, take a stun gun with you when you go out..."

Then the conversation went silent again.

"Okay, I've put two eggs on your plate. Eat them when you wake up."

All morning, Jinzhi took photos with her phone near the guesthouse—the sea, the scenery, and herself.

I met a little girl who was about seven or eight years old in the afternoon.

He kept staring at her.

Jinzhi gave her a lollipop.

The little girl offered to take her picture.

Because she is beautiful.

Jinzhi, who loves being praised, was incredibly beautiful and took the little girl to the convenience store to buy a large bag of snacks.

"Sister, my house is nearby. My mom makes delicious seafood noodles. Do you want some?"

Jinzhi was quite wary.

"No need, my landlady will cook for me tonight."

The little girl handed her a bag of snacks.

"Then I don't want it. Mom said I shouldn't take things from other people."

Jinzhi took the butterfly hair clip off her hair and clipped it back on.

"But you took pictures of my sister! You took super beautiful pictures of her, and she really likes them."

The little girl smiled shyly.

"Oh well."

She ran away shyly into the evening breeze.

"Sister, I know where you live, and I also know the landlady. I'll ask my mom to pack some seafood noodles for you. My mom makes them super delicious."

Jinzhi called out from behind, "I don't want to eat it, no need to go through all that trouble!"

"No trouble at all, sister, wait for me~"

Jinzhi strolled around for a while longer before leisurely returning to the guesthouse, intending to stay there for an extended period and pack her clothes.

Her apartment is a one-bedroom, one-living room unit. It's not big, but it's cozy and has a wooden theme, giving it a very homey feel.

Halfway through tidying up, there was a knock on the door.

She thought it was a little girl.

I opened the door in a good mood.

The moment the door opened, his pupils contracted sharply.

It slammed shut with a "bang".

Heart beating wildly.

Ye Yu's calm but highly impactful voice came through the door, "Jinzhi, I'll count to three. If you don't open it, I'll tear this wooden door down."
