Where is he?
This was the question on everyone's mind.
A large, living, breathing man had just vanished without a trace.
But the strange thing was, despite so many people calling his phone repeatedly, it was still on; it hadn't powered off due to a dead battery.
This puzzled not only the searchers but also Gong Daoyang and his team.
By the time Du Heng and Gong Daoyang regrouped, the sun had completely set.
The villagers who had been helping with the search had returned home. Qi Gang's wife, having received no news, had collapsed onto the bed, overwhelmed by her own terrifying thoughts about what might have happened. She couldn't bring herself to get up.
Du Heng planned to suggest to Gong Daoyang that they send Wang Lili and her companion home first. The two women had been searching with them all afternoon and were now exhausted and famished.
