CHAPTER 1177: CHAPTER 1177: FOUND IT (9)

Eddie had seen a photo of An Yiqing before; her beauty far surpassed this girl’s!

"Do you have her contact information?" Gu Yelin didn’t have time to explain and pressed once more.

Eddie snapped out of it and quickly pulled a piece of paper from his pocket, the one Ah Mi had given him.

"This is the phone number of the girl who’s been by her side."

Gu Yelin snatched the number, glanced at it, and immediately dialed from his phone.

However, the cold and mechanical voice on the other end struck him like a bucket of cold water, dousing his nervous excitement completely.

"Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later."

Unwilling to give up, Gu Yelin dialed again, but it was still off. Immediately, he turned on his computer and connected with Cao Xiaosha and Tan Yulin through the communication channel.

"Find her! Get me all the information and her itinerary as quickly as possible! She is Qing!"

Suddenly, chaos broke loose in Xuandu City.

Meanwhile, the Xiao Yu being searched for by so many had already boarded a plane to Guang City with Ah Mi and Dashan.

Even though she couldn’t see the dazzling lights outside the plane, Xiao Yu had a feeling—she’d return to Xuandu City very soon.

Late at night, at half-past eleven, a small villa illuminated brightly. Gu Yelin, Eddie, and Qiao Si all sat in the living room, waiting for the phone to ring.

Suddenly, the phone rang, and Gu Yelin quickly picked it up.

"Boss, we’ve located her. Xiao Qing arrived at Guang City six days ago, landing at Pier No. 1, and then took a flight to Xuandu. She was accompanied by a man and a woman. The man is named Lei Shan, the woman is Chen Xiaomi. After arriving in Xuandu, they stayed at Yunhai Hotel and visited the military hospital the next day to consult the neurology and ophthalmology departments. But, Boss... there’s something you need to prepare yourself for..."

Gu Yelin’s grip on the phone tightened, but his heart stayed steady. As long as she was alive, he could accept her in any condition!

"Based on Xiao Qing’s medical records... there’s a blood clot in the back of her brain, and she’s lost her memory!"

His pupils constricted violently, and a searing pain tore through Gu Yelin’s heart. His grief wasn’t because An Yiqing had forgotten him due to the memory loss; it was the thought of how she had endured such perilous times alone, blind, and without any memories. How did she survive that period?

The names Lei Shan and Chen Xiaomi were etched firmly in Gu Yelin’s mind. He knew they must have saved An Yiqing’s life.

Seeing that Gu Yelin showed no intense reaction, Cao Xiaosha exhaled a sigh of relief and continued, "After leaving the military hospital, Xiao Qing and the others seemed to linger outside briefly before returning to the hotel. The next day... uh... they visited a branch of the Medicine Sect..."

Cao Xiaosha coughed lightly, feeling an urge to swear. How unlucky must one be to keep narrowly missing each other like this!

"I couldn’t find out what they did at the Medicine Sect, but it seems like they didn’t accomplish much. After that, Xiao Qing and the others went shopping at a mall and then stayed at the hotel until the afternoon of today, when Lei Shan suddenly purchased plane tickets to Guang City. They’re on the plane right now."

"Good! Notify Guang City’s airport to create a distraction to keep Xiao Qing from leaving. I’ll head there immediately!"

Yet, Gu Yelin, for all his calculations, had overlooked the unpredictable nature of An Yiqing.

When she disembarked from the flight at around 4 a.m., she was informed that the airport was temporarily inaccessible. Anxious to reach the island, the three decided to find an opportunity to sneak out.

With the help of Xiao Yu—aka An Yiqing—and her "flexible escape skills," the three quietly slipped out of the airport.

When Gu Yelin piloted a plane to Guang City’s airport, he tragically came up empty-handed!

Soon after, he discovered that An Yiqing, using the alias Xiao Yu, had purchased tickets for a ship bound for the Southern Coast of the Pulo Ocean, further cementing his conviction that his guess was correct.

Xiao Yu was An Yiqing!

But fate seemed intent on testing his patience. By the time Gu Yelin caught up with the ship at the South Coast, An Yiqing, Ah Mi, and Dashan had already disembarked and boarded a small boat sent by a friend to take them back to the island.

No matter how resourceful Gu Yelin was, he couldn’t instantly locate a small, unmarked boat on the vast, boundless sea.

His icy gaze swept over the surging waves. Standing behind him, Cao Xiaosha and Tan Yulin dared not even breathe loudly. Investigating this whole time without realizing how many times they had brushed past Xiao Qing was a chilling realization. If Eddie hadn’t meddled, they might still be searching fruitlessly.

Their Boss was probably furious enough to kill someone by now...

"Cao Xiaosha, deploy satellites! Search the entire southern sea region of the Pulo Ocean for me!"

Cao Xiaosha’s heart skipped a beat. "Boss! Utilizing satellites might alarm other nations. If Country Jin realizes this, they’ll surely make a fuss again! Shouldn’t you give the Old Master a heads-up?"

"No need. Borrow Country Jin’s satellite system for this and send them a temporary loan receipt. Clarify that we’ll return it once done. If the Jin military has any complaints, they can take it up directly with me."

Cao Xiaosha’s mouth twitched, but he nodded helplessly.

Seriously, with his boss’s reputation, Country Jin would have to be suicidal to question him! Haha, commandeering Jin’s satellite system was downright exhilarating!

After Cao Xiaosha left, Gu Yelin stood silently, his gaze fixed on the deceptively calm yet turbulent sea. Just then, Tan Yulin, who had gone outside to take a call, suddenly rushed back in, brimming with excitement.

"Boss! An Zhiyu just sent word—they’ve located Xiao Qing’s watch!"
