Ruan Sizhe's words hadn't finished when Lan Yuxi had already reached the door.
Ruan Sizhe rubbed his eyes, his master's speed... was she stepping on a Wind Fire Wheel?
Lan Yuxi, who had already reached the door, thought of something and shouted back, "Follow me!"
Ruan Sizhe was stunned for a moment and quickly chased after her.
As soon as Lan Yuxi stepped out, Nan Yi and Ying appeared. The four of them quickly got into the car and drove out of the villa gate in the blink of an eye.
Lan Zixin looked at Lan Mushang suspiciously, "Did something happen?"
Lan Mushang's heart sank, "I'll call and ask."
In the car, Lan Yuxi was lecturing her disciple, "Do you know why I changed my mind and brought you here again?"
Ruan Sizhe replied without thinking, "Master wants to train me, preparing me to take over Bing Yan. However, Master, can you give me more time? I want to fulfill all my wishes while I'm still young."
Lan Yuxi's lips twitched, "How many years?"
Ruan Sizhe said confidently, "Before I turn thirty, I'll definitely be able to fulfill all my wishes!"
Lan Yuxi raised her hand and then forcefully pushed it down. She really wanted to hit him!
The brat was only nineteen this year, and she had to work for at least another eleven years before she could retire!
Lan Mushang's call came in at that moment.
"Xi'er, what happened?"
"I found a clue, and I'm taking people to check it out."
"About Cha Chao and Mu Mu?"
"Mmm."
"Give me your location, I'm coming too."
"No need, I don't think it'll be of any use."
Lan Mushang frowned, "Then be careful."
"Mmm." Lan Yuxi hung up the phone and looked at Ruan Sizhe, who was hesitant to speak, "Are you wondering why I'm going even though I know it's useless?"
Ruan Sizhe nodded; that was indeed what he was thinking.
Lan Yuxi frowned slightly, "This person has only two options: either they fled or they're already dead. We definitely won't get any clues from them, but if a person is alive, they leave traces. We can search for clues in the places they lived."
After Lan Yuxi explained it to him, she picked up her phone and made a call. This call was to Captain Xiao. China wasn't a foreign country, and especially since Nan Xiao was currently the Premier of China, she had to abide by some rules.
Captain Xiao arrived a few minutes earlier than them after receiving the notification. Lan Yuxi saw him and his men standing outside the door and knew her guess was correct.
Captain Xiao looked at the electronic lock on the door with a helpless expression, "Sister-in-law, it looks like we'll have to force the door open."
Lan Yuxi raised her eyebrows slightly and took the computer from Ying, "But if we have to force it, give me a minute."
As Lan Yuxi spoke, she had already started typing on the keyboard.
A minute later, the electronic door lock beeped open.
Captain Xiao's mouth widened in astonishment. When he came to his senses, he raised his hand and slapped his subordinate lightly, "What are you good for? Can't even open a lock."
The subordinate touched his head sheepishly, "Mrs. Nan, can you teach me this trick?"
"Sure, I'll teach you when I have time." Lan Yuxi smiled at Captain Xiao, "Can we go in now?"
Captain Xiao quickly put on gloves and pushed the door open, "Sister-in-law, I'll go in first, you follow behind me..."
Before Captain Xiao could finish speaking, Lan Yuxi had already walked in.
Captain Xiao, afraid of any accidents, quickly followed.
The room was relatively tidy, but the thin layer of dust on the coffee table indicated that the owner hadn't returned for some time.
As soon as Lan Yuxi entered the room, she smelled a faint scent of blood. She turned to Captain Xiao, "Captain Xiao, do you smell anything?"
Captain Xiao sniffed hard, "No... Wait, there's a smell of blood!"
Captain Xiao gestured to his subordinates, and they quickly began searching separately. Soon, the person searching the bathroom shouted loudly, "Chief, the person is here! Ugh—"
Hearing the person's retching, Lan Yuxi's heart sank by half.
Ruan Sizhe wanted to go and see, but as soon as he lifted his foot, Lan Yuxi pulled him back.
"Don't go, lest you can't eat later."
Lan Yuxi handed him to Ying. While everyone was going to the bathroom, she entered the study.
No computer, no tablet, no phone...
Then, she went to the bedroom and dining room, and still found nothing.
Lan Yuxi gave a bitter smile. The other party knew she was a top hacker, so why would they leave these things for her?
"Ugh—" The retching sound from outside... Why did it sound so familiar?
Ruan Sizhe!
Lan Yuxi gritted her teeth and rushed out, only to see Ruan Sizhe's afterimage heading straight for the entrance.
Lan Yuxi looked at Ying displeasedly.
Ying spread his hands helplessly, "Miss Xi, if you want to train him, you have to let him face various situations. If you shield him, he will never grow."
Lan Yuxi glared at him irritably, "What's the situation inside?"
"The person is dead, all their internal organs have been dug out. The technique was very skillful, more perfect than a doctor's incision." Someone who had crawled out of a pile of dead bodies was already accustomed to such scenes. He said it calmly and then fell silent.
Lan Yuxi raised her eyebrows slightly and called out to Captain Xiao, who was still in the bathroom, "Captain Xiao, I'm leaving now. I'll trouble you with this. Call me if you find anything."
"Okay, I'll see you out."
"No need, you're busy." Lan Yuxi waved her hand and, like picking up a chick, hauled up Ruan Sizhe, who was squatting outside the door and vomiting.
"Master... ugh—"
Lan Yuxi said sternly, "Hold it in! If you dare to throw up, I'll stuff it back in for you!"
Ruan Sizhe felt a chill, but being scared by Lan Yuxi like this, he actually stopped retching.
Lan Yuxi threw him into the elevator, and then walked in.
Ruan Sizhe squatted in the corner, looking gratefully at Lan Yuxi, "Master, we haven't investigated anything yet, don't give up halfway because of me."
Lan Yuxi patted his big head, "Child, you're thinking too much. The reason I'm leaving is that there's no value in staying."
Ruan Sizhe stood up with a wronged expression, "Master, you don't love me anymore!"
Ying and Nan Yi twitched their mouths simultaneously.
Lan Yuxi was even more annoyed and kicked him lightly, "Stop imitating Qiao Yisi, it bothers me!"
Ruan Sizhe chuckled, "I won't, I won't."
On the way home, Lan Yuxi told Qiao Yisi the news. After hearing it, Qiao Yisi could only grind his teeth.
If Master couldn't find anyone, he would be even more useless!
Everyone returned home and saw Nan Xiao sitting on the sofa as soon as they entered.
Lan Yuxi's face lit up with a smile and she rushed over, "Husband, why are you back so early today?"
Nan Xiao caught her steadily, "I heard you went to the murder scene, I was afraid you'd have psychological trauma, so I came back to keep you company."
Lan Yuxi chuckled, "I'm not like that fool who would look at a dead body!"
