The Ye Residence's landline appeared on the screen.
Di Mingjue glanced at the police station lobby in front of him and slid his finger across the screen to answer the call.
"Daddy, you left Mommy's phone at home."
Yu Ze's soft voice drifted out from the phone.
Di Mingjue patted his pocket. His phone, which should have been close to his person, was indeed missing. He looked at Xie Mingxia, who was walking out in front of him, and said into the phone, "I know. I'll have someone go back to get it later."
"Okay, then I'll charge Mommy's phone first."
"Good."
After hanging up, Xie Mingxia also came up to him.
"President Di, you've arrived just in time. We have a new lead," Xie Mingxia said.
"What new lead?" Di Mingjue asked urgently.
"Last night, we contacted the surrounding docks. Through the surveillance footage at the docks, they learned that Gu Xiuyu did not bring Miss Ye ashore. We suspect they are still adrift at sea, or perhaps on a nearby island," Xie Mingxia explained, taking out paper documents from the file bag in her hand.
After receiving a call from the surrounding docks this morning, they immediately found a map of the entire sea area and also made easy-to-understand hand-drawn maps.
The sea area was vast, connecting to surrounding cities. In addition to this, there were some unknown small islands within the sea area. However, few people lived on these islands. But Gu Xiuyu's situation was different from normal; he might very well take Ye Ziyu to an island to avoid their pursuit.
"What's the next step? Set sail to find them?" Di Mingjue asked, looking up.
Whether the person was on an island or had gone to other surrounding cities, their primary plan was to set out to find them, not to sit and wait for death.
"What President Di said is exactly what we will do next. The matter of Miss Ye being taken away by Gu Xiuyu of the Gu Group has been classified as a kidnapping. We have obtained an arrest warrant, and we are about to set out to find her," Xie Mingxia said.
Finally, some action was being taken.
Di Mingjue left the police station with them and headed for the docks.
...
On the small island.
The early morning sun was the first to shine on the small island. After waking up, Gu Xiuyu looked at the fierce waves outside. He checked his phone and realized it had rained last night.
Although the sun was high in the sky, the weather outside was not very clear. Dark clouds were blown away by the wind for a while, and then gathered again, blocking the sun.
Gu Xiuyu turned on the indoor heating. After washing up, he went to see Ye Ziyu.
Seeing the still tightly closed door, Gu Xiuyu tried calling out, "Ziyu, are you awake?"
The entire room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. His words naturally echoed in the empty and tranquil house.
"If you're up, wash up first. I'll prepare breakfast for you." Gu Xiuyu paused for a moment and continued speaking towards the gap in the door.
After the quiet returned to the door, Ye Ziyu opened her eyes and looked in the direction of the door.
She hadn't dared to sleep soundly all night. The door and windows were under his control, and Ye Ziyu was worried that he might sneak into her room in the middle of the night and do something to her.
Looking at the glaring light outside, she rubbed her numb leg and stood up from the sofa with difficulty.
She had been curled up on the small sofa all night, and now every part of her body was protesting.
Ye Ziyu opened the door and walked out. She heard the sound of a spatula hitting the side of a pot coming from downstairs.
Presumably, it was for breakfast, and it would take a long time. Thinking this, Ye Ziyu turned to look at Gu Xiuyu's room.
Her heart controlled her brain, and she strode forward.
Ten minutes later, Gu Xiuyu had prepared a rich breakfast. He didn't know Ye Ziyu's morning habits, so he prepared both Chinese and Western meals.
The food was exquisitely arranged on plates and then placed on the dining table.
