In the Imperial Capital Building, in Helian Minxiao's study, under the dim light, he sat alone at his desk, flipping through the case files that were about to go to court. He was supposed to come back with Ji Yan, but because of her gathering with Fang Yuan, he was alone now.

The study was silent, with only the rustling sound of Helian Minxiao's pen tip scratching across the paper. Suddenly, a special and crisp classical music broke the silence. Helian Minxiao frowned, it was his cell phone ringtone. He quickly took out his cell phone from his pocket and saw that the caller ID was the bodyguard's number, and his anxiety instantly rose.

"Hello?" There was a hint of anxiety in Helian Minxiao's voice.

The voice on the other end of the phone was trembling and terrified: "Mr. Helian... It's bad... Miss Ji and Miss Fang... They are missing!"

Helian Minxiao's expression instantly turned ferocious, and the murderous intent in his eyes emerged as if it were real: "Waste! How could this happen? Hurry up and find him!"

He hung up the phone angrily, his fingers tapping rapidly on the keyboard, sending urgent messages to several other people.

Zheng Haoqian's surgery was in progress and he couldn't get away; Fu Jingyan was on a business trip in the northwest; Lu Nanxu, as a member of the cabinet, couldn't get there quickly either. Helian Minxiao's eyes swept across the screen and finally stopped at Xin Mujing's name. He took a deep breath and dialed Xin Mujing's number.

At this time, Xin Mujing was sitting in a private room of the hotel, drinking with a group of business people. He had a faint smile on his face, but his eyes revealed an indescribable depth.

When he saw the call from Helian Minxiao, he frowned slightly, then stood up and apologized to everyone: "Sorry everyone, I have something urgent to do and need to leave first."

He walked out of the hotel and got into his car. The car drove out of the parking lot like an arrow and sped towards the Imperial Capital Building where Helian Minxiao was. The special license plate made the police cars on the road give way.

Xin Mujing called Helian Minxiao: "What happened? You sound nervous."

Helian Minxiao's voice was full of anxiety: "Yanyan and Fang Yuan disappeared in the mall! The bodyguards are looking for them."

Xin Mujing said in a deep voice: "I'll be back right away. Have you found Yanyan's location information?"

"I'll check it right away." Helian Minxiao sat in front of the computer in the study, his fingers flying on the keyboard, his eyes fixed on the code and data on the screen.

After some twists and turns, he finally locked the location of Ji Yan's phone. However, the location stunned him - it was the bedroom he and Ji Yan shared.

Helian Minxiao stood up and walked hurriedly into the bedroom. He came to the drawer, his heartbeat quickened, and he opened the drawer with trembling hands.

Five rings came into view, lying there quietly, as if telling of the good old days. Next to the rings was Ji Yan's cell phone, the screen was off, but it still emitted a cold glow in the darkness.

Helian Minxiao's heart sank to the bottom. He picked up his phone and noticed a white envelope next to it. He took a deep breath, opened the envelope, and pulled out the letter inside. The handwriting on the letter was familiar and clear, it was Ji Yan's handwriting.

"Dear," Helian Minxiao whispered, "Thank you for your love and warmth, but I feel that I need to leave. Our relationship is not normal, and we should have ended it long ago. Please forgive me, this is not your fault, it is my own choice."

After reading the letter, Helian Minxiao felt a sense of sadness. The five of them had always taken good care of Ji Yan, so why did she choose to leave? Did they do something wrong? He tried to suppress his inner irritability and anger, but the loss in his heart surged like a tide.

At this time, Xin Mujing called. His voice sounded a little anxious: "Minxiao, I just found Yanyan's location through the mobile phone positioning, but she has left."

Helian Minxiao was silent for a while, then slowly said: "I know, I have found her phone."

Xin Mujing's voice immediately became excited: "What? Where is she? Let's go find her!"

Helian Minxiao told Xin Mujing about Ji Yan's letter and ring.

Xin Mujing was silent for a moment, then said: "Minxiao, we can't let her leave like this. I know she may have volunteered, but I can't accept this result. We must find her, and I won't allow her to leave no matter what."

Helian Minxiao nodded: "You are right. I have asked my men to pay attention to the ticket purchase records of the Yifang siblings and Yanyan. You can go to the airport and take a look, maybe she hasn't left yet."

After Xin Mujing hung up the phone, he immediately turned around and headed for the airport.

……

Inside the airport, in front of the busy boarding gate, Xin Mujing's figure stood out.

He was dressed in a neat suit and had eyes as sharp as an eagle. After entering the airport lobby, he immediately gave an order to the staff: "Immediately, ground all planes."

The airport manager was intimidated by Xin Mujing's momentum. Although he looked embarrassed, he dared not say much and had to notify the airlines as instructed. Soon, the airport broadcast announcing the suspension of flights, causing a commotion.

At this time, Helian Minxiao arrived with a group of bodyguards. They came to find the missing Ji Yan.

Helian Minxiao saw Xin Mujing at a glance, and the two looked at each other and nodded in tacit understanding. Xin Mujing asked the bodyguards directly: "Have you found it?"

The bodyguards lowered their heads, not daring to look Xin Mujing in the eye.

Seeing this, Xin Mujing's anger was instantly ignited, and he shouted angrily: "Then what are you still doing here?"

At this moment, a man walked out of the crowd, holding a device in his hand, and said to Xin Mujing respectfully: "Boss, these are the surveillance video of the mall."

Xin Mujing nodded and asked him to take the equipment to the VIP room. The man immediately obeyed and carefully moved the equipment to the VIP room. Xin Mujing brushed the hair on his forehead, and his cold expression made it impossible to tell his emotions.

He turned to Helian Minxiao and asked, "Is there any movement from Fang Boheng?"

Helian Minxiao folded his arms, stared at the monitor screen, and answered in a low voice without turning his head: "Not at the moment." He signaled the man to play the video.

The video began to play, and the screen showed a scene of Fang Yuan walking out of the bathroom with a woman whose figure was very similar to Ji Yan.

Xin Mujing frowned and pointed at the screen and said, "Huh, I didn't expect they would find a stand-in."

The screen continued to play. Not long after Fang Yuan and the woman left, a woman wearing the same clothes appeared in the screen. She looked around for a moment, then slowly walked towards the crowded area. If you don't look carefully, you really can't tell the difference between the two women.

Xin Mujing looked at the monitor screen, a sneer appeared on his lips. He narrowed his eyes in satisfaction, and the cold and oppressive feeling gradually disappeared.

He turned to Helian Minxiao and said, "Finally I saw traces of people. I didn't expect that they would find such a similar substitute. Only those idiots couldn't tell."

Helian Minxiao also showed a rare smile. He nodded and said, "That's right. Now we can follow the clues to find the cause."
