Li Yue quietly looked at the scenery outside until late at night, then she came back, changed into a lace nightgown and lay down. Just as she lay down, a phone call came in. Li Yue picked up the phone and sat up immediately after seeing the incoming call.

Li Yue's heart suddenly tightened, and the phone in her hand seemed to become extremely heavy in an instant. The caller ID on the screen was like the brightest star in the night sky, instantly attracting all her attention.

She sat up straight almost subconsciously, the soft material of her lace nightgown swaying gently with his movements, and the delicate lace lace glowing softly under the dim light, forming a sharp contrast with her tense and urgent mood at the moment.

"Is there any news about my mother?" There was a barely perceptible tremor in Li Yue's voice. She tried hard to control her emotions, fearing that the answer from the other end of the phone would make her collapse instantly.

The soft touch of the lace nightgown seemed to give her a little comfort at this moment, but it also invisibly exacerbated his inner conflict and struggle.

There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a low and steady voice: "We have some new discoveries, but..." There was a hint of hesitation in the other party's words, which made Li Yue's heart instantly rise to his throat.

He held the phone tightly, as if it was the only connection between him and his mother, his fingers turning slightly white from the force.

"But what? Tell me quickly!" Li Yue urged almost in an imperative tone, his voice full of anxiety and uneasiness.

The delicate touch of the lace nightgown has become the only tenderness in my senses at this moment, but it cannot completely calm the waves in my heart.

"We found some clues that may be related to your mother's whereabouts, but these clues are not clear and need further verification." The other party finally gave the key information, but this "uncertainty" made Li Yue's hopes hang in the air again.

Li Yue closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down.

She looked down at the lace nightgown she was wearing. The delicate pattern and soft texture seemed so inappropriate at the moment, as if it was a contradiction between fragility and strength deep in her heart.

He gently stroked the hem of his skirt, as if he was looking for a kind of strength, a strength that could support him to move forward.

"Tell me everything you know." Li Yue's voice returned to calm, but there was still a barely perceptible tremor in his determination.

The person on the phone began to describe in detail the clues they had discovered, and Li Yue listened carefully and remembered every detail.

Although these clues seemed fragmentary and uncertain, Li Yue held on to them as if they had grasped a life-saving straw.

She realized that this might be her last chance to find her mother and she couldn't give up.

After hanging up the phone, Li Yue did not lie down immediately, but sat on the edge of the bed, looking ahead with empty eyes.

The soft touch of the lace nightgown reminded him once again that he was still in reality and his mother was still missing.

Li Yue felt an unprecedented sense of confusion and helplessness, as if the whole world had lost its color.

The next morning, before the first ray of sunlight completely dispelled the night sky of the city, Li Yue had already set out on the journey to the Akbon office building.

Her heart was filled with anticipation and anxiety, because today, she would come here in person to identify those items that the Starlink organization had gone to great lengths to collect and that might be related to her mother's disappearance.

Inside the office building, the lights were on and the air was filled with a tense and focused atmosphere.

Under the guidance of the staff, Li Yue passed through a series of access control gates and finally came to a conference room equipped with a huge display screen.

This is where she is about to start the identification work.

On the screen, pictures scrolled slowly, each carrying the hope of finding clues about the mother.

Li Yue stood in front of the screen, her eyes following the pictures, sometimes staring, sometimes shaking her head. There were both expectations and disappointments in her heart, but more of a sense of uneasiness about the unknown.

Time passed minute by minute, and when the screen froze on a seemingly ordinary street photo, Li Yue's eyes suddenly froze.

In the photo, a ragged homeless old man is walking on the street with his head down, holding a colorful hairband tightly in his hand.

To Li Yue, that hairband couldn't be more familiar - it was her mother's favorite, a small item she would wear on her wrist whenever she went out.

Seeing this scene, Li Yue's heartbeat instantly accelerated and his eyes became moist involuntarily.

She excitedly stretched out her hand, pointed at the hairband on the screen, and shouted with a slightly trembling voice: "This! This hairband! It's my mother's!" Her voice echoed in the silent conference room, attracting the attention of people around her.

Yuan Bing, one of the persons in charge of the investigation, quickly walked to Li Yue's side upon hearing the noise, his eyes full of concern and confusion. "What's wrong? Li Yue, what did you find?"

Li Yue took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, then pointed at the photo on the screen and slowly told the story of the hair circle.

Although her voice was a little choked, every word she spoke was filled with determination and hope.

Yuan Bing listened to Li Yue's story with a frown on his face and a hint of solemnity in his eyes.

She realized that this seemingly insignificant discovery might be the key clue to solving the mystery of Li Yue's mother's disappearance.

Afterwards, Yuan Bing immediately organized a team to conduct an in-depth analysis of the photo, trying to track the whereabouts of the homeless man, and at the same time retrieve more surveillance videos related to the posting of the circle.

The entire conference room once again fell into intense and orderly work, while Li Yue stood aside, staring at the screen, praying silently in his heart, hoping that this clue could lead them to find the whereabouts of his mother.

Now we have found a clue. Although this clue may be very small, at least we have found something related to our mother.

Li Yue didn't know how the things on her mother's body appeared on a dirty homeless man. She was very curious, but she didn't dare to disturb Yuan Bing's investigation.

Now they are searching for this information to see if they can follow this clue.

After a while, Yuan Bing came over again.

"This thing was found in the northwest of Xia Country. There may be some clues. Now we need your cooperation to go there. Our private plane has obtained the airworthiness certificate. We will organize people to go to the northwest immediately."

Yuan Bing looked at Li Yue.

Li Yue nodded.

"And you need to keep it confidential because this case may involve people around you, and we are afraid of alerting them."

Yuan Bing spoke again.

We need to keep it secret now and see if this clue can lead to the big fish.

Li Yue nodded affirmatively again.

There is hope now, and hope is good news.
