Chapter 52: The Dungeon

"Shang Yu City?" Ye Shen raised his voice in surprise, "What's wrong?" ”

"I don't know." Arwen shook his head. Xianglin just called, saying that Miss Shang went to Guanghua University for classes today and has not returned home yet. She didn't know what was going on. ”

"What about Lu Jingcheng?" Ye Shen asked with a frown.

"The second master of the Lu family came to see Miss Shang early this morning, and said that there was a party tonight. He probably didn't know the news that Miss Shang was missing. ”

"Let's take a look." Ye Shen said as he strode out the door.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Jia Wen walked down from the upstairs with a somewhat gloomy heart. She looked at the empty living room, sighed, and sat quietly on the sofa.

When she was still a progressive student, she often saw all kinds of lace news about Ye Shen in the newspaper. She hates these young people who are extremely poor and extravagant and have no conscience, and Ye Shen is one of them. It wasn't until she joined the underground party organization three years ago and really met Ye Shen that she was surprised to find out how wrong she was, and she quickly fell in love with him, unable to extricate herself.

Ye Shen is very good to her, there is no doubt about that. He took care of her and protected her, like a kind brother, but only like an older brother. But Jia Wen is not in a hurry, they have common beliefs and common causes, and there will be no other woman in this world who can be so close to him and understand him.

She believes that one day, they will be the love of each other on the road to revolution, unless death strikes first. But now—Jia Wenxin leaned back on the sofa, staring intently at the chandelier quietly lit on the ceiling, and she suddenly felt lonely.

Ye Shen and Ah Wen rushed to Shang Yucheng's house, and as soon as Xianglin opened the door and saw Ye Shen, he hurriedly took them to the house and told them about the matter.

"The young lady rarely goes out at night, and even if she doesn't come back, she will definitely call home." Xianglin said anxiously. "Mr. Ye doesn't know where she went?"

Ye Shen shook his head, "I haven't seen her in a few days. He thought for a moment, and quickly said to Xianglin, "You search the house carefully to see if she has left any notes, letters, or other things, as well as jewelry, clothes, cash, and deposit receipts at home." After speaking, he turned his face to look at Ah Wen again, "You go to Lu Jingcheng and find out what he is doing." Remember, you must not let him discover you. ”

Xianglin spun around like a headless fly for a long time, and at this time, Ye Shen came to preside over the overall situation, and nodded again and again.

Ye Shen and Ah Wen hurriedly left Shang Yucheng's home, and then separated. Ye Shen drove to Shu Qiang's residence.

Shu Qiang had the most contacts with Shang Yucheng secretly, and Ye Shen naturally wanted to ask him about it first.

"Miss Shang is gone?" Shu Qiang heard the news and said in surprise.

"You don't know where she's going?" Ye Shen frowned tightly and stared at Shu Qiang's face.

"I haven't been in touch with Miss Shang today." After saying that, he asked rhetorically, "Why did she suddenly disappear?" Does the Lu family know? ”

Ye Shen shook his head, "Lu Jingcheng is out for entertainment, I'm afraid I don't know the news yet." ”

Shu Qiang frowned, and secretly thought to himself, could it be that the Lu family discovered Miss Shang's secret? ”

Ye Shen had actually already thought of this possibility. That's why he asked Ah Wen to find Lu Jingcheng, and he came to find Shu Qiang, who Shang Yucheng trusted the most. If Shang Yucheng noticed that her identity made people suspicious, Shu Qiang should also know.

"What people has Miss Shang met recently, what have she done, and where have she been—Inspector Shu must know something, right?" Ye Shen looked at Shu Qiang and asked calmly.

Shu Qiang raised his eyes to look at him, thought for a while, and said, "Miss Shang has always lived in a simple place, and the places she frequents are nothing more than those, and there is nothing special. As for who I had met, apart from the people around me, I only knew the jeweler, Mr. Hoffmann, whom Miss Shang trusted very much. I don't know anything else. He looked at Ye Shen, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Could it be that the Lu family found something-"

Ye Shen frowned, "Did Miss Shang mention any unusual actions of the Lu family?" ”

Shu Qiang shook his head, "No." The Lu family has been anxious about Lu Jingpeng's affairs recently, and they haven't seen anything abnormal. ”

"That's weird." Ye Shen muttered, "It's not the Lu family, could it be that Leng Hui and Zhao Wenxuan have seen through her plan?" ”

"Probably not." Shu Qiang said, "I've been staring at them for the past few days, and everything is going according to Miss Shang's plan. If they find something, they can't have no reaction at all. ”

The two thought about it for a long time, but still found nothing. Ye Shen had no choice but to say goodbye and leave, Shu Qiang originally wanted to go with Ye Shen to find it, but after thinking about it, he gave up. Ye Shen and Shang Yucheng are open friends, and it is much more convenient to act, but he has informants and sources on his side, so it is more efficient to find people separately, so he let Ye Shen leave first.

Shu Qiang found nothing here, so Ye Shen had no choice but to return to Shangyu City.

Ah Wen hadn't come back yet, and Xianglin turned the house upside down according to Ye Shen's instructions, and didn't find any clues.

"Miss's stuff is there, and I didn't leave any notes or anything like that." Xianglin looked at Ye Shen at a loss.

Ye Shen listened to Xianglin's words, turned around and walked into Shang Yucheng's room.

Xianglin followed him in, and while opening the wardrobe and drawers for Ye Shen to check, he said, "Miss's clothes and jewelry are all here, and nothing is missing." The cash lady in the house is all in the study, and no one has touched it. ”

"You take me to see it." Ye Shen said.

Xianglin agreed, turned around and walked towards the study.

Walking to the door of the study, Ye Shen glanced at the position of the doorknob and asked, "Is the study door usually locked?" ”

Xianglin shook his head, "It's not locked." Unless the lady is locked inside, the door of the lady's room and study is unlocked. ”

Ye Shenleng paused, he originally thought that a person like Shang Yucheng, who had many secrets, must have many security devices in his residence, but he didn't expect Shang Yucheng's heart to be so big, and he didn't guard against it. However, he soon figured out that she must have installed a safe somewhere, and all the important things would not be left on the surface.

Ye Shen walked into the study and looked at the desk, which was clean and there was nothing on the desk except for a delicate pen. He leaned over and opened the drawer, which contained Shang Yucheng's lesson plans and notes, as well as some books on literature and art.

He didn't notice anything, he just closed the drawer again, and his eyes swept over the table to the bookshelf.

Wrong! Ye Shen suddenly turned his eyes back and looked at the desk.

He leaned over and picked up the pen, looked at it in front of his eyes, and then muttered at the empty table, "No—there must have been something here!" ”

Xianglin listened to Ye Shen's words and was stunned, "What is it?" ”

Ye Shen frowned, "Maybe it's a book, a notebook, or a few pieces of paper." He looked up at Xianglin, "Think about it, what does Miss Shang usually leave on the desk?" ”

Xianglin tried to think about it, and said blankly, "It's nothing." Sometimes it's a book that I haven't finished, sometimes it's a note that I haven't finished, and sometimes—"

Xianglin suddenly remembered something, "That's right! Recently, the young lady has been reading that manuscript, the manuscript that the Japanese woman brought me! ”

Before the words fell, Ye Shen had already begun to rummage vigorously on the bookshelf. He had seen the manuscript, and even a photograph of the manuscript taken by Xianglin. When he got the photograph and didn't see anything, he took the opportunity to give it to the organization so they could study its contents.

The two searched all corners of the house, but still found no trace of the manuscript. At this point, it can only be concluded that the manuscript is indeed missing.

"The manuscript is gone, and the young lady is gone—" Xianglin became even more worried at this time, "What the hell is going on, the young lady will be fine, right?" She looked at Ye Shen anxiously.

Ye Shen's worries were even worse at this time, if the loss of that manuscript really had anything to do with Shang Yucheng's disappearance, it could only mean one thing, Shang Yucheng did have some kind of connection with the Japanese, which also confirmed his suspicion of Shang Yucheng at that time.

What is that manuscript?

At this time, Shang Yucheng was also thinking hard about this problem.

As Xianglin said, the reason why Shang Yucheng went out today was to go to school to work. As usual, she left school as soon as she finished class, but on her way home in a rickshaw, she ran into Takakura Tsuki.

Under Gao Cangyue's warm greeting, Shang Yucheng had no choice but to get out of the car and walk into the small teahouse on the side of the road with her. Although she was wary of Takakura Tsuki, she didn't expect Takakura Moon to dare to blatantly drug the tea she was drinking, and then take her to a strange place while she was asleep.

"Miss Shang." Takakura Yue showed a pretended affectionate smile, and her crescent-like eyes narrowed slightly, "As long as you complete the proofreading of this manuscript as soon as possible, I will let you go immediately and never break my promise." ”

Shang Yucheng glanced at Takakura Yue's face and smiled slightly bitterly, "I really didn't expect that Miss Takakura would be such a crazy person for art. ”

Takakura Yue smiled, "I have no choice but to invite Miss Shang in this way." Please forgive Miss Shang. ”

Shang Yucheng looked at her, "What if I refuse to forgive?" ”

"Miss Shang is a smart person, of course she knows how to bend and stretch. Work together, and you'll be able to get home safely. If you refuse to cooperate, I will have hundreds of ways to make you succumb - such a simple multiple-choice question, Miss Shang will definitely choose the right one, right? ”

Shang Yucheng glanced at the room he was in at this time, this was a basement of unknown origin. There are damp concrete walls on all sides, and the roof is so high that it looks like it is four or five meters long. Only at the top of the wall in front of me was a small window, and a small piece of the sky could be vaguely seen. There was a narrow door under the window, which was now closed.

"Miss Shang, don't bother, this place is far away from the city, and no one will come to save you." Takakura looked at her and said unhurriedly.

Shang Yucheng looked at her, "You have put so much thought into it, you must have planned it very well. I wasn't trying to escape, I was just thinking about a problem. ”

"What's the problem?" Takakura asked curiously.

"Should I help you?"

Takakura met her eyes and smiled smugly, "Do you still have a choice now?" ”

Shang Yucheng saw her smile and shook his head slightly, "I believe that people have a choice no matter what time they are. In the current situation, Miss Takakura feels that I have no choice, and that is because you underestimated me. ”

"Oh?" Takakura raised her eyebrows, "Did Miss Shang come up with a way to survive PUBG?" ”

Shang Yucheng lowered his eyes and looked at the slightly dirty table in front of him, "You used such extraordinary means to bring me here and let me complete a record of the collection of your ancestors' homes, which doesn't make sense in any way. She glanced at Takakura, "That manuscript is vital to you, and the time you need it is getting tighter, right?" ”

Takakura looked at her and didn't answer.

Shang Yucheng smiled, "In that case, before you got your wish, it seems that I was the one who took the initiative, what do you say?" ”

Gao Cangyue looked at Shang Yucheng's calm smile, as if she was burned by her eyes, and fire appeared in her eyes. She raised her arm and waved it fiercely, only to hear the sound of "pop", and Shang Yucheng's face had a red palm print.

Takakura didn't wait for her to react, grabbing her hair. Said viciously, "You'd better cooperate obediently, otherwise, I will definitely let you die an ugly death!" ”

After speaking, she let go of Shang Yucheng angrily, took out a booklet from her coat pocket and threw it on the table, then neatly pulled out a pistol from her waist and pointed it at Shang Yucheng's temple, "I'll ask you again now, do you do it or not?" ”

Shang Yucheng only felt a hot pain on her face, but at this time, her hands were tied, and she had no choice but to take this slap. She squinted and glanced at Takakura Yue coldly, "Since you brought me here, aren't you determined to win?" She sneered, "It's too stupid for me to do this or not." ”

She moved her shoulders and changed to a more comfortable position, "If you want to get what you want, naturally give me what I want—otherwise, even if you kill me, what will happen?" ”

Gao Cangyue didn't expect Shang Yucheng, who seemed to be weak and weak, to be so difficult to deal with, and was about to teach her a lesson, when she suddenly showed a suspicious look, she looked at Shang Yucheng, shook her head lightly and said, "No-"

Shang Yucheng looked at her and frowned slightly.

Gao Cangyue narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at her carefully, "Miss Shang, why don't you ask me about my identity and the purpose of my doing this?" And - are you not afraid to be suddenly taken into a strange prison? ”

Shang Yucheng listened to her silently, and then smiled indifferently, "Miss Takakura is right to suspect, if it is someone else, he will definitely react like Miss Takakura said." Unfortunately, I'm not someone else. ”

"Who the hell are you?" Takakura Yue's fingers holding the gun couldn't help but tighten. She originally took out a gun just to scare Shang Yucheng, but at this time she was really alert.

Shang Yucheng looked at Takakura Yue's nervous appearance and smiled helplessly, "Miss Takakura, don't get me wrong, I'm just an ordinary person." She looked at Takakura Yue and said sincerely, "If I don't ask you, I'm not afraid of you, because I have confidence in the cooperation between you and me." ”

"Cooperation?" Takakura looked at her suspiciously.

Shang Yucheng bowed slightly, "Yes, I want to cooperate with Miss Takakura - each takes what he needs, and benefits each other." I wonder what Miss Takakura thinks? ”
