Su Yun did not hesitate at all and walked up the mountain path beside the city gate.
This mountain path was actually the one Xu Jiajia had walked on previously. At this moment, the mountain path was completely dark. If not for the few stars in the sky, one would not be able to see their fingers.
However, thanks to Su Yun’s sharp perception, this bit of darkness could not really hinder him. It only slowed him down a little.
Just as his figure disappeared into the darkness, a puzzled voice sounded from the side of the city gate. “Eh, that looks like Su Yun?”
The person who spoke was a girl from Hibiscus University’s Antique Club. In terms of time, she followed Su Yun out, just a little slower. Behind her was everyone from the Antique Club.
Although it was almost nine o’clock, they still did not leave. On the one hand, it was because this was a rare antique exchange in Burning Light Ancient City. Everyone cherished this opportunity. On the other hand, it was because an accident had happened.
Xu Jiajia had actually disappeared!
This time, the Antique Club had come to Burning Light Ancient City as a semi-free activity. After all, the teacher had even given them a mission. Everyone had to choose an antique from the antique market to test everyone’s judgment.
Of course, they were all cheap things. These things were also available in the market, and most of them were actually these 100 to 200 yuan gadgets. Therefore, everyone was actually just taking a car together and going back together when the time came. In any case, everyone’s activity range was in Burning Light Ancient City. They also had phones on them, so they did not have to worry about being separated.
However, when it was time to gather and prepare to go back, Xu Jiajia was gone.
Initially, no one took it to heart. After all, there were too many antiques in the antique market today. It was normal to linger.
However, when they called Xu Jiajia’s phone and asked everyone, they realized that the last time they saw her was around four in the afternoon. Only then did everyone realize that something was wrong.
This was the reason why the Antique Club rushed to the vicinity of the city gate. This was the only way to enter and leave the ancient city.
“Su Yun?” At this moment, Teacher Yu was looking in the direction of the city. When he heard the girl’s words, he turned around in surprise and looked in the direction the girl was looking. Of course, he did not see anything because Su
Yun had already disappeared on the dark mountain path. “Is he alone or with Xu Jiajia?” Teacher Yu asked.
“Alone… right?” the girl replied uncertainly.
“Did you see it clearly?” Teacher Yu was a little anxious. He clearly remembered that Su Yun bade him farewell at around four in the afternoon. According to the memories of the students who saw this scene at that time, Xu Jiajia had followed him to the city gate.
This was also the last time everyone saw Xu Jiajia.
This made Teacher Yu feel a little relieved. This was because Xu Jiajia might be with Su Yun. The two of them might have returned early, but they had forgotten to tell Teacher Yu and the others. contemporary romance
However, this girl said that she saw Su Yun? Didn’t Su Yun go back to start the livestream? Why was he here? Moreover, was Xu Jiajia with him?
These were all questions Teacher Yu desperately wanted to know.
“I didn’t see the front. I just felt that the back view looked like Su Yun.” The girl frowned. “But the clothes he’s wearing don’t seem right, and his temperament doesn’t seem like it.” After a pause, she continued, “I keep feeling that person was murderous just now. Perhaps I was wrong.”
“Sigh.” Teacher Yu sighed.
During the time he realized that Xu Jiajia was missing, he had already thought of many ways to contact her. But her phone was turned off. She did not reply to any messages, including the messages on her social media app.
It would have been fine if Xu Jiajia was a student. The school would have kept her family’s number as an emergency communication. However, Xu Jiajia had already graduated. If he wanted to find her family’s number, he would have to check the file.
Teacher Yu did not have this authority at all. As a result, he could not confirm if Xu Jiajia had returned home on her own.
“Forget it.” Teacher Yu gritted her teeth. “Call the police!” He knew that according to the rules of the Dragon Kingdom, for adults above the age of 18, a missing person cases would only be accepted if they went missing for more than 24 hours.
This was also to minimize unnecessary false alarms. After all, a missing person case required a lot of manpower and material resources, and most of the time, the missing person had actually just forgotten to answer the phone when he went out, or had hidden away and deliberately not answered it.
However, this only referred to a simple disappearance. If there was evidence that the missing person might be in danger, there was no need to abide by the time limit. It was already nine in the evening. To a young and beautiful girl alone, it was already a relatively dangerous time.
On the other hand, Xu Jiajia had been out of contact for nearly five hours. No matter what method he used, he could not contact her.
In addition, with Teacher Yu’s understanding of Xu Jiajia, she was actually a very responsible person. If she wanted to leave early, she would definitely inform him.
Therefore, Xu Jiajia might indeed be in danger!
At the thought of this, Teacher Yu no longer hesitated and called the police.
While Su Yun was rushing to Maple Ridge and Teacher Yu was busy calling the police, a few police cars were quietly parked in the bushes by the road northwest of the Burning Mountain..
