Jian Yubo’s reaction was much calmer than that of Jian Yumin’s. However, compared to the time in the conference room, he still reacted slightly differently.

After saying that to Jian Yumin, Jian Yubo took out his phone to make some calls.

He instructed people to keep an eye on the several major traffic routes leaving Hengyuan City.

At the same time, he had someone retrieve the road surveillance footage from the entrance of Shenghua High School. From there, he considered all the possible routes to be taken by the other party.

This was to find the whereabouts of the vehicle that took Jian Yiling away.

Grandpa Jian hurried out of his orchid greenhouse.

“What happened? Who touched my darling!?”

As Grandpa Jian rushed over here, his hands were still covered in mud.

“I don’t know! You have to get someone to investigate this! If anything happens to her, I won’t be able to live!” Grandma Jian cried out in anxiety.

She only had one darling granddaughter. How would she live without her? She couldn’t lose her!

Grandpa Jian was also incredibly worried and anxious.

His granddaughter was now in the hands of bad people. His heart felt as though it had been crumpled to thousands of folds.

Grandpa Jian knew how serious the matter was.

It was impossible for ordinary people to go to school to take Jian Yiling away.

In Hengyuan City, no one would dare to openly take his granddaughter away.

This meant that the person who did this was not an ordinary individual.

Grandpa Jian immediately contacted his connections and asked them to help him.

As Grandpa Jian did this, Jian Yubo and Jian Yumin left the Old Jian Residence.

They couldn’t just sit in the house and wait!

They had to act!

This was the first time the two brothers had acted together after so many years.

If Jian Yiling wasn’t in trouble, Jian Yumin would be happy that he was finally doing things with Jian Yubo again.

However, he wasn’t in the mood to think about this right now.

Grandma Jian cried for a while. Then, she remembered to call Jian Shuxing and Jian Yuncheng.

When he heard the news, Jian Yuncheng’s face turned pale.

Jian Yuncheng immediately contacted Huo Yu. He asked him to investigate the matter.

All the family’s resources and contacts had been mobilized.

What Jian Yuncheng needed to do was to get help in areas that the rest of the Jian family couldn’t get help from.

They needed to find Jian Yiling in the shortest time possible. They had to ensure her safety.

As soon as Huo Yu heard that something had happened to Jian Yiling, he immediately put his other work aside. He started searching through the internet for clues.

In order to speed up the process, Huo Yu even contacted his friends in his circle to help him with the search.

In the car, Jian Yiling was silent.

There were two women in suits that sat on her left and right. The two of them were watching her every move.

When they got into the car, they had already taken away Jian Yiling’s phone. They placed her phone into a signal insulated case to ensure that no one could locate Jian Yiling through the location setting of her mobile phone.

The middle-aged man who had talked to Jian Yiling was seated in the front passenger seat.

There was a small screen at the back of that seat. The screen lit after the car had driven for a while.

A woman with white hair appeared on the screen. The woman looked quite old.

Through the screen, the woman said to Jian Yiling: “Dr. F.S, it was incredibly difficult to invite you here. We have sent many requests to your Institution. However, all those requests were rejected. And thus, we had to resort to this.”

Jian Yiling looked calmly at the woman on the screen. She didn’t have a slither of emotion visible on her face.
