Chapter 83 Searching for Clues
Everyone waited until the world turned dark, yet Lv Wei was nowhere to be seen. Worry began to gnaw at many, but as he had been missing for less than twenty-four hours, they couldn’t alert the police yet.
Gu Fan, realizing that Lv Wei was likely not showing up, was taken aback by the audacity of whoever had struck at the earliest opportunity.
According to those who had been in a team with Lv Wei, after completing the ninth task, Lv Wei had rushed to the location of the tenth task, leaving his exhausted team behind and advancing on his own.
Gu Fan examined the map, which showed the route connecting the ninth and tenth tasks. If Lv Wei had disappeared, it was highly probable it had occurred along this path.
"I refuse to believe that in broad daylight, amidst the hustle and bustle, you’d dare to kidnap him," Gu Fan muttered, anger boiling within him as he embarked on a search along the route, joined by Lu Yi and Jie.
According to the map, there were multiple shortcuts between the ninth and tenth task locations due to the considerable distance between them. Therefore, the choice of route was not singular.
This left Gu Fan in a quandary. If he didn’t know which route Lv Wei had chosen, he wouldn’t know where to start searching. But one thing was certain: if someone wanted to kidnap Lv Wei, they would choose a deserted road.
Armed with this understanding, Gu Fan decided to investigate every possible route, looking for a deserted path while avoiding surveillance cameras.
Despite spending roughly three hours, Gu Fan, Lu Yi, and Jie found no such route. Despite the lateness of the hour, all the roads were still bustling with activity. No criminal would dare to abduct Lv Wei in plain sight.
"Damn it, what method did these bastards use," fumed Gu Fan. Being manipulated and treated like a pawn filled him with rage. He was tired of all this.
At this point, Lu Yi suggested, "If there’s nothing wrong on the main routes, perhaps something happened that made Lv Wei deviate from his route to a less crowded place."
