kanda looked at her, but did not move to untie the plastic rope in her hand.

huo xiwen then said, "what? i have shackles on my feet, are you afraid that i will run away? "

upon hearing this, santian laughed. "of course you can't escape."

"untie it for me." huo xiwen said, "my hands are going to be crippled after being tied up by you for so long. your boss wouldn't like handicapped people, would he? "

kanda nodded and reached out to untie the plastic rope around her wrist.

huo xiwen's hand was set free, so she immediately shook off her numb and unconscious hand, and even deliberately lifted her hand to look at the time on her wrist.w.a.tch. in order to avoid santian noticing any clues, she deliberately said: "so it's already 8 in the morning. i thought it was in the middle of the night."

"hurry up and eat." kanda looked at her and urged her.

at this time, huo xiwen's attention was focused on the food bag that contained the breakfast. she pointed her watch at the bag and took a photo of the pattern and logo on it.

ever since her wrist.w.a.tch had connected with fu muyun's phone, she hadn't cut off the connection. she believed that fu muyun definitely wouldn't cut off the connection as well. this was the only way for them to contact each other.

after doing all this in silence, she began to eat her breakfast.

although she was in a very dangerous situation, she knew that if she didn't eat enough and conserve her energy, she might not be able to make it out alive.

after seeing that she had finished her breakfast, san tian looked at the time on his wrist.w.a.tch. he heaved a sigh of relief. "8: 30 am. your mr. fu should be awake by now. i should call him and report to him about your situation."

with that, he walked up again, tied huo xiwen's hands up, and walked out of the room.

ever since su chen's call last night, fu muyun had not slept a wink.

at this moment, he had already been sitting in liang zhong's office for more than seven hours.

when zhao wei pushed open the door from outside, he was still holding his breakfast, "boss, let's eat something first."

fu muyun glanced at the bread and coffee in front of him. he really had no appet.i.te, but she still took it and began to eat.

at this moment, vivian walked in from outside with a report in her hand: "boss, the things you wanted me to investigate, we have the results." he didn't leave on a plane. i checked all the airlines, but there was no sign of him flying to z. the high-speed rail and the train do not have any information about his pa.s.sage. "

"could he have used a fake ident.i.ty plane or train?" zhao wei asked.

vivian shakes her head. "i don't think so. after his two colleagues were found out last night, they were sent to an autopsy. the result shows that they died four days ago."

"four days ago?" hearing this answer, zhao wei was very surprised: "that idiot yu hui, he didn't even know that his subordinates died four days ago."

"this can't be blamed on him. in the past few days, he has been busy dealing with so many things. didn't we forget about him?" he just ignored it for a moment. " vivian spoke up for yu hui.

"you will side with him." zhao wei was unconvinced.

"four days ago, two days before xi wen left for city z." fu muyun completely ignored their bickering and spoke with a thoughtful expression.

"more accurately speaking, it's a day and a half." "no," vivian corrected.

"how long does it take to drive from here to z?" fu muyun asked.

"the whole process is high speed. if you drive fast, you can get there in thirty hours." "yes," vivian replied.

"boss, are you saying that santian drove himself over?" zhao wei said in disbelief.

"yes, he drove there." this was the conclusion she had come up with after spending most of the night investigating and a.n.a.lyzing it.

"but why would he do that? "you're driving to z city so hard, but you don't need to take a plane …" zhao wei was truly confused.

"why else would she do that? i'm afraid we'll find out where he is." vivian said.

"boss, i feel like there's something wrong here." zhao wei shook his head.

at this moment, fu muyun's phone suddenly rang.

he looked at the caller id. it was an unknown number.

this type of call that he could tell had been tampered with at a glance made him immediately alert. he picked up his cell phone and picked up, "h.e.l.lo."

"mr. chen …" "oh, no, i suppose i should call you mr. fu?" it was saburo's voice on the other end.

"santian?" fu muyun naturally was able to guess the other party's ident.i.ty in an instant.

when vivian and zhao wei heard that the call was from santian, they both became alert.

"no wonder my boss always says that mr. fu is the best opponent in the world. mr. fu is so smart, he stepped on me so easily."

"say it, what do you want?" fu muyun asked with an ice-cold tone.

"i just said you're smart, mr. fu. why are you playing dumb with me now? don't you know what i want? " san tian said in a creepy voice.

"i want to know if xi wen is still alive." fu muyun said.

"if i tell you that miss huo was killed by me, would you believe me?" san tian asked arrogantly.

"try it."

"i was just joking with you, why is mr. fu so serious? "don't worry, miss huo is fine now. how could i dare to hit such an important hostage like her? besides, miss huo is so beautiful, i can't bear to do that."

"whatever you want, just say it." fu muyun didn't want to beat around the bush, so she directly asked.

"talking to mr. fu is an easy task, so i won't beat around the bush. my goal is very simple, i just want you to let my boss go."

"no problem." fu muyun agreed without thinking.

"so straightforward?"

"when will you be changing people?" fu muyun asked.

"i have to think about this. wait for my letter." after saying that, he immediately hung up the phone.

fu muyun put down her phone and zhao wei immediately asked, "boss, what did santian say? he agreed to switch people? "

"mu yun, the good news is that we found some clues about xi wen." at this moment, liang zhong suddenly rushed in from outside the door.

seeing that zhao wei and vivian were both there, he immediately said, "it's better if all of you are here. come, let's go to the forensics department with me."

the three of them immediately stood up and followed liang zhong to the forensics department.

after entering, liang zhong led them to a computer that was connected to the signal on huo xiwen's watch.

he pointed at the computer monitor and said, "this is the video we saw 20 minutes ago from miss huo's side. from the video, we can tell that miss huo is not injured but only controlled. besides, did you see the breakfast bag she was holding? we checked and this brand is the local breakfast brand in y. there are a lot of chains, so we can pretty much be sure that miss huo is in y right now. "
