Chen Hailing's home was a detached villa.
It had three floors, with over twenty rooms.
She lived with her parents on the second floor.
There was a boudoir, furnished with pink furniture.
Besides her personal belongings, it also contained a few men's clothes and leather shoes.
These were likely her man's or boyfriend's clothes.
Guo Xuyang did not find any useful information.
He pushed his perception forward, as if rewinding rapidly.
It was only until four days ago that he discovered Chen Hailing walking out of a room with a tall man.
The two were intimate, suggesting he was her boyfriend.
They got into a car and drove away.
Chen Hailing alighted in front of an office building and then entered the office.
Around ten o'clock, Chen Hailing received a phone call, walked out of the office building, and got into a car.
She arrived at a club just before eleven-thirty.
The club seemed somewhat familiar.
Guo Xuyang thought carefully.
He remembered it was the Ruyi Club, where Wu Youzhi had first treated Guo Xuhui to a meal.
Chen Hailing seemed to have drunk too much and was later taken to the club's lounge by a young man.
The young man took advantage of her drunken state and had relations with her.
Then the young man left, and shortly after, two more people entered...
From that afternoon onwards, Chen Hailing's room was never empty, continuing into the night.
This situation was not right.
Guo Xuyang began to rewind again, carefully observing Chen Hailing's situation after she entered the club.
There were eight people at Chen Hailing's table, including three women and five men.
The young man who took her to the lounge sat in the position of the subordinate host.
Chen Hailing was the main guest, and the main host was a middle-aged man in his forties.
The middle-aged man seemed to have something to ask, constantly urging her to drink.
Chen Hailing should have been familiar with this man, readily accepting every drink offered, drinking as much as asked.
The subordinate host said something, and Chen Hailing put down her wine glass and walked out.
After Chen Hailing left, the subordinate host glanced at the main host and refilled Chen Hailing's glass with another bottle of wine.
When she returned, she glanced at her wine glass but said nothing, continuing to drink with the others.
From then on, the subordinate host became very attentive, and the wine in his bottle quickly ran out.
Not long after, Chen Hailing slumped onto the table.
The other two women also seemed to have drunk a lot, and Chen Hailing did not move until the end of the banquet.
After everyone else had left, the young man took Chen Hailing to the club's lounge.
There was something wrong with the wine. This was Guo Xuyang's first thought.
The main host and the subordinate host were also suspicious.
From the exchange of glances between the two, it was clear that this banquet hid a huge conspiracy.
Since he was tracing back, Guo Xuyang could not perceive their thoughts.
The most crucial thing now was to find the main host and the subordinate host.
Another question was, what kind of people were those who came after the young man left?
Where did Chen Hailing go?
Guo Xuyang continued to rewind.
After the young man came out, he made a phone call, and then two people arrived.
Later, more and more people came, young and old.
Eventually, there were even people who looked like migrant workers.
Chen Hailing must have offended someone, and deeply.
Otherwise, the other party would not have gone to such lengths.
Finally, Chen Hailing woke up. She saw an extremely ugly middle-aged migrant worker ravaging her body.
She tried to push him away but couldn't, and was instead violently thrown to the ground.
She staggered out of the club only in the early hours of the morning.
She didn't know what she had experienced, only remembering the ugly middle-aged migrant worker at the end.
The severe pain and the filth on her body made her want to die.
She jumped into the artificial lake as she passed by.
Guo Xuyang's heart leaped when he perceived this. Had Chen Hailing met with misfortune?
He continued to rewind.
Chen Hailing did sink into the lake after jumping in, and coupled with her disoriented state, she sank to the bottom as soon as she went in.
About ten minutes later, someone stumbled over and saw Chen Hailing in the lake, and rescued her.
This person was Qi Dahai, the one with the two-finger-palm technique.
After that, she was dragged away by Qi Dahai.
The person should be fine. If she were dead, Qi Dahai wouldn't have dragged her away.
Tracing back to the present day, Chen Hailing had been at Qi Dahai's house.
It couldn't be called a home; it was in a village.
However, Chen Hailing had not regained consciousness.
Qi Dahai was quite attentive, taking meticulous care of her every day.
Guo Xuyang did not know what deep enmity Chen Hailing had with the main host and the subordinate host of that banquet to have treated her so cruelly.
From the beginning, Chen Hailing had fallen into a trap.
This banquet was a Hongmen Banquet, but Chen Hailing was unaware of the situation, even mistaking the main host for a friend.
This person was extremely malicious, likely harboring immense hatred.
"Captain Xiao, where are you?" Guo Xuyang picked up his phone and called Xiao Yu.
"Just entered the provincial capital, not yet at the bureau. What's up?"
Xiao Yu had always been indifferent to Guo Xuyang, never showing excessive familiarity.
"I'll give you an address.
There's someone called Qi Dahai inside, you know him.
Take your men to his house, and you'll know."
Guo Xuyang said and sent the location to Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu was completely bewildered by Guo Xuyang, not understanding what he was talking about.
He wanted to ask, but the other party had already hung up.
After Guo Xuyang finished the call with Xiao Yu, he came out.
"Why did it take so long? Let's go." Xiao Yun complained.
"Go. You drive. We should reach the provincial capital tonight.
Ilena, I'm going to the provincial capital with Xiao Yun.
For the next few days, you should stay with Xiao Xi and Yang Yang. Call me immediately if anything happens."
Guo Xuyang said as he walked out.
"Okay. Be careful on the road. Send me a message when you arrive," Ilena instructed.
"No problem. I'm leaving."
Guo Xuyang was going to the provincial capital, wanting to understand exactly who the main host and subordinate host were.
What was their grudge with Chen Hailing?
Chen Hailing probably wouldn't wake up anytime soon, likely due to a head injury.
He would take the opportunity to rescue Chen Hailing as well.
After all, she had helped Xiao Yun quite a bit in the past.
While Guo Xuyang and Xiao Yun were heading to the provincial capital,
Xiao Yu had already taken her men to arrest Qi Dahai according to the location Guo Xuyang had sent her.
Coincidentally, Qi Dahai had gone out to buy some daily necessities like firewood, rice, oil, ginger, vinegar, and tea.
He had eaten all the food at home taking care of Chen Hailing these past few days, let alone the vegetables.
No one answered when Xiao Yu knocked on the door.
She had someone pry open the lock and pushed the door open, discovering Chen Hailing lying on the bed.
Chen Hailing lay naked on the bed, covered only by a thin cotton quilt.
No matter how much Xiao Yu called out, she couldn't wake her.
She opened Chen Hailing's eyelids to take a look, then reached out to feel for her carotid artery near her neck.
The person was alive and well, just unable to open her eyes.
She didn't know the specific situation, so she called for an ambulance and had Chen Hailing sent to the hospital for treatment.
