Capítulo 872: Chapter 594: What Did You Do to My Daughter

Xiaofeng listened to Gu Yecheng’s words and walked over to the lion’s cage. The lion was sleeping soundly and didn’t lift an eyelid at the arrival of the outsiders.

“Were there any casualties yesterday?” Yesterday could be considered a major incident at the zoo.

“No, there weren’t. It’s quite strange; when they came out yesterday, it was like a flood, but they just scared the tourists and went back on their own soon after,” recalled a staff member, experiencing the strangeness of yesterday’s events.

They thought that once the lions got out, they would go rampant, but unexpectedly, after roaring for a while, they obediently went back into their cage.

This situation was something they hadn’t anticipated.

Because of this, after yesterday’s chaos, the tourists were just frightened, but there were no casualties.

Of course, there was an incident discovered: the young master and young miss of the Gu Family went missing during yesterday’s chaos.

Xiaofeng glanced at the lion, who lazily ignored Xiaofeng.

Xiaofeng wanted to ask the lion if it had seen Dabao and Xiaobao yesterday, but then remembered she couldn’t speak animal language; only Dabao could.

Dabao and Xiaobao were missing, and Xiaoqi hinted that they were nearby.

“Xiaoqi, can you talk to the lion? Ask it if Dabao said anything to it yesterday.” Dabao liked animals; if he was here yesterday, he would definitely talk to them.

Xiaoqi shook its head, “Master, I can’t either.”

Although it is the elf of the space, it is not omnipotent after all; it can’t know everything.

“You can find where Dabao and Xiaobao are.”

“The Spiritual Energy is nearby; they must be around here,” Xiaoqi said confidently, “because the Spiritual Energy is denser than before.”

Xiaofeng withdrew her gaze from the lion and told Gu Yecheng, “Acheng, I think Dabao and Xiaobao must be nearby.”

“We’ve searched the area, and nothing suspicious was found,” Acheng replied, who had almost turned over the soil here before.

“There must be a hidden place nearby.”

“Okay, let’s search again.” His wife insisted that Dabao and the others were nearby; it must be her intuition. Her intuition was often frighteningly accurate.

Xiaofeng led the search around.

The zoo director instructed the staff to lock up the animals to prevent them from jumping around and interfering with the investigation progress.

Xiaofeng led the search through various caves, some of which housed animals, and some did not.

However, they all shared a common feature: a foul smell.

A little squirrel chattered not far away, as if trying to say something to Xiaofeng.

Xiaofeng walked over, and the squirrel stopped chattering, instead using its paws to scratch at something on the ground.

Xiaofeng took a look; the direction the squirrel was scratching at appeared to be shaped like an arrow pointing behind it.

Xiaofeng squinted.

Was this little squirrel trying to hint at something?

The arrow pointed to the rock wall ahead; could there be something wrong with the rock wall?

“Director, are there any caves inside here?” Xiaofeng knocked on a cave while asking the zoo director.

“No, there aren’t,” the director said, holding a map of the zoo. “We can see here, the caves are just these, and there are no others.” The zoo was too vast for him to remember every place, even as the director.

Xiaofeng glanced at the map. This was Squirrel Park, mainly consisting of small unoccupied holes and no larger caves, meaning people couldn’t be hidden here.

The little squirrel continued chattering, its legs constantly scraping.

“Acheng, there’s definitely something wrong here,” Xiaofeng said.

Acheng walked up to the rock wall and tapped it.

It was solid, not hollow.

He pressed his hands against the rock wall but couldn’t find any mechanisms.

“Wife, I couldn’t find any mechanisms here.”

Just as Xiaofeng was about to speak, Gu Yecheng’s phone rang.

Gu Yecheng answered the call, and a hoarse voice came over the line, “Young Master Gu, are you about to turn the zoo upside down? To be honest, you’ve got the wrong place; we’re not there.”

“Tell me, what are the conditions?” Gu Yecheng signaled for quiet around him.

Xiaofeng also pricked up her ears, wanting to hear what conditions the other party would propose.

“Young Master Gu, to be direct, I have your precious children. If you want them returned unharmed, you should understand what we want,” the caller said bluntly.

“I know your goal; isn’t it just to make me stop investigating the 319 case?” Gu Yecheng sneered, “Whatever issues you have, direct them at me. What’s the meaning of using my children as leverage?”

“Young Master Gu, since you won’t budge, I had no choice but to use this method,” the caller retorted with a sneer. “We’ve been pushed to the brink by you, Young Master Gu. If you had stopped earlier, it wouldn’t have come to this, would it?”

“Where are my son and daughter?” Gu Yecheng gripped the phone, trying to confirm if Dabao and Xiaobao were with him.

“Little One, your dad’s calling you,” the person in black said, putting the receiver in front of Gu Dabao, “Go on, say hello to your dad.”

Gu Dabao turned his face away, ignoring him.

His mouth was gagged, so he couldn’t speak at all.

Gu Dabao was too clever, and the captors feared he might reveal something to Gu Yecheng, so they naturally wouldn’t give him the chance to speak.

“Your brother won’t talk, so you say something,” the person in black pinched Gu Xiaobao.

Gu Xiaobao mumbled a few times painfully.

Hearing the sounds of pain, Gu Yecheng’s heart tightened, “What did you do to my daughter?”
