The livestream ended, and Qin Xuan once again checked Liu Qing's status.
Unfortunately, silence remained.
Liu Qing had still not successfully woken up.
Helpless, Qin Xuan instructed the people watching over her to arrange for more security personnel.
After leaving the hospital, Qin Xuan headed straight for the Imperial Capital Airport.
He had told Ling'er in the morning that he would take a later flight, and calculating the time, it should be about right.
He found a place to retract the Myriad Transformations Divine Artifact, then transformed it into a gaudy pick-up sign before walking towards the arrival gate of the terminal.
However, he waited and waited, but could not see Ling'er's youthful and lively little face, which made Qin Xuan feel an unusual sense of anxiety.
He took out his phone and called Qin Ling'er. As expected, the call could not be connected.
Qin Xuan's heart immediately sank.
Fortunately, he still had Ling'er's best friend's phone number. Besides being at home, Ling'er was usually with her best friend.
However...
"Brother Qin Xuan? Ling'er didn't look for me today."
"But she did say she was going to buy you some gifts, it seemed like... it seemed like she went with Doctor Fang!"
Fang Qingrou?
Hearing that Qin Ling'er might be buying him gifts, Qin Xuan's heart finally relaxed a little.
He realized he might have been a bit too sensitive.
Nowadays, in Long Country, almost no one dared to openly oppose him.
This was also why he had not arranged for protection for Qin Ling'er.
Qin Xuan believed that as long as he remained in Long Country, no one would dare to touch a single hair on Ling'er's head.
After convincing himself again, Qin Xuan obtained Fang Qingrou's phone number from Qin Ling'er's best friend.
Regarding Fang Qingrou, Qin Xuan originally had some thoughts of that nature.
However, in subsequent interactions, Qin Xuan found that this woman seemed to like speculating about others from her own perspective.
Especially when he had just bought a car for Ling'er, she had been so eager to have the police arrest him.
Therefore, as his circle of contacts gradually widened, his feelings towards Fang Qingrou gradually faded.
He hadn't expected that Ling'er's relationship with her was not much different from that of best friends.
After thanking Ling'er's best friend, Qin Xuan called Fang Qingrou again.
But for some reason.
As he listened to the "beep, beep" sound on the phone, he felt a nameless irritation in his heart.
It felt as if he already knew that this inquiry would not yield any good results.
A minute later, the call automatically hung up.
The unanswered call made Qin Xuan's irritation grow even stronger.
Fortunately, it wasn't long before Fang Qingrou's call came back on its own. Qin Xuan quickly answered the call and inquired about his sister.
"Ling'er?"
"Didn't she go to find you?"
"Came to find me?"
"When?!"
Hearing Fang Qingrou say that Ling'er had indeed come to find him, Qin Xuan's heart sank again.
He asked Fang Qingrou for the specific time Ling'er parted ways with her, and the answer was eleven o'clock in the morning.
"There are flights from Jiangcheng to the Imperial Capital at half-past eleven and twelve o'clock. The entire flight process is at most two hours. Even with some delays, she should have arrived by half-past three now!"
"Could it be that Ling'er has indeed encountered something?!"
Based on the time provided by Fang Qingrou, Qin Xuan immediately became restless.
He walked quickly towards the airport management authority while asking Fang Qingrou if she had noticed anything unusual about Ling'er that day.
However, Fang Qingrou thought for a long time but found nothing wrong with Ling'er that day.
"I understand, thank you."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Xuan directly found the airport personnel in charge.
After presenting his identification, the other party immediately retrieved the airport surveillance footage for the two and a half hours from one o'clock to half-past three, concerning flights from Jiangcheng.
The result was no surprise.
Qin Ling'er's figure was nowhere to be found.
Now Qin Xuan was anxious and quickly contacted An Bo, the director of the Jiangcheng Security Bureau.
Upon hearing that Qin Xuan's sister was missing, An Bo also quickly mobilized all available forces to conduct a city-wide, comprehensive search.
By the time Qin Xuan flew back to Jiangcheng, they had almost swept through every street and alley in Jiangcheng.
They had also reviewed the surveillance footage related to Qin Ling'er repeatedly.
However, no matter how they searched, Qin Ling'er's last trace was fixed at twenty minutes after she separated from Fang Qingrou.
For some reason, Qin Ling'er slowly got out of the car.
After turning her gaze in a certain direction, she slowly walked out of the surveillance range.
And the place she walked towards was a blind spot in the surveillance, with no cameras that could capture the specific situation.
So when Qin Xuan arrived, An Bo personally took Qin Xuan to the place where Qin Ling'er had last appeared.
"You, go and take a good look over there."
"You guys, go and visit the surrounding shops."
"Have Qin General's sister's photos been distributed? If all else fails, show them to the ladies one by one!"
"They've been playing mahjong here all along, they're bound to know!"
The security bureau and law enforcement officers divided their tasks clearly, heading towards the shops on the street with Qin Ling'er's photos.
Qin Xuan, however, stood quietly in place, gently closing his eyes.
An Bo thought Qin Xuan was overcome with grief from his sister's disappearance and did not disturb him.
But An Bo did not know that Qin Xuan was currently using his abilities to search for Qin Ling'er.
Road curb: Damn it, so many people are stepping on me today. It looks like I can't escape the fate of falling apart.
Manhole cover: Kids these days are really bold, daring to throw firecrackers into my cover! Fortunately, it's heating pipes inside and not marsh gas, otherwise, they'd be waiting to die!
Scrap car: I really envy those running freely on the road. Back in the day, I used to race with Mercedes! But speaking of which, that little girl today was driving a Porsche, right? In all my years, this is the first time I've seen such a spirited car.
A cacophony of sounds.
As Qin Xuan maximized his senses,
The inner voices of countless objects flooded into his brain like a tide.
Happy, sad, laughing, complaining.
This was also because his mental and soul power had reached a very formidable level.
Otherwise, not to mention finding clues from these voices, even if he had to convert them into text, he would have to read for a long time!
Without taking too much time, Qin Xuan locked onto one among the many inner voices.
It was a small swallow, seemingly nesting in a nearby household.
And according to the swallow's account to Qin Xuan, when Qin Ling'er disappeared today, it had indeed seen a tall, slender figure appear before Ling'er!
