Chapter 247 - 245: Something Happened

Qingming heard this, turned his head to look, and then frowned, "How does this car seem to be the one that Senior Brother No. 2 was driving before?"

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Qingshu hurriedly ran across the street, rushing into the woods.

Lu Heng and the others saw this and immediately followed.

When the four of them approached, they could fully confirm that the off-road vehicle that had rushed into the woods was indeed the one they had driven earlier.

The things inside the car were rummaged through wildly, and both Song Qing and Qingyue were nowhere to be found.

"It’s over, Sister Xiaoqing and Little Junior Sister must have had an accident!"

Qingling said in a panic.

"Don’t worry, maybe it’s just an ordinary traffic accident?"

"I’ll call Song Qing right now!"

Yang Qingshu forced himself to calm down, quickly took out his phone, and dialed Song Qing’s number.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is powered off. Please try again later..."

This emotionless mechanical voice instantly sent Yang Qingshu’s mood plummeting.

"Senior Brother No. 2, I remember there is a dashcam in this car, right?"

Qingming suddenly spoke up.

"Yes, yes, there’s a dashcam!"

Yang Qingshu’s eyes lit up, and he immediately dived into the car to find the dashcam.

The dashcam was hanging behind the windshield, so it was easily found.

But to his disappointment, the memory card had been removed.

"Sigh!"

Yang Qingshu got out of the car dejectedly, looked at the dark woods ahead, and couldn’t help but sigh.

"Senior Brother No. 2, there are a lot of footprints here!"

Qingling shouted after walking forward for a short distance.

When they walked over, they saw that the muddy ground in the woods, drenched by the rain, revealed footprints scattered all over, including those of Song Qing and Qingyue.

"Senior Brother No. 2, could Sister Xiaoqing and Little Junior Sister’s disappearance be related to the kidnapping that Ms. Yan mentioned before?"

At this moment, Qingming suddenly spoke.

Upon hearing this, Yang Qingshu immediately recalled Yan Ya’s reminder after they arrived at the Yan Family.

He thought the kidnappers would act before Old Mr. Yan’s birthday banquet.

So at that time, he stayed by Qingyue’s side almost all the time.

Even when going out to fish and live stream, he had to bring Qingyue and the Yan Family’s security with him.

But during the period from their arrival at the Yan Family until the end of the birthday banquet, everything was calm, with nothing happening.

This made him think that Yan Ya’s source of information was problematic, so he dismissed it from his mind.

But who would have thought that the kidnappers would actually choose to act at this moment!

"It’s all my fault!"

"I was careless!"

"I shouldn’t have let Song Qing and Little Junior Sister go back alone!"

Yang Qingshu slapped his forehead forcefully, filled with regret.

"These kidnappers are really patient, waiting until now to kidnap someone!"

Qingming also sighed.

Not only Yang Qingshu, but he also relaxed his vigilance over the past two days, thinking that nothing would happen.

The kidnappers took advantage of their carelessness and abducted Qingyue and Song Qing with a sudden move.

"Better call the police quickly, Senior Brother No. 2!"

Qingling said softly.

Yang Qingshu could only nod and dial the emergency number.

No one expected so many things to happen tonight.

"How about this, Senior Brother No. 2 and I will follow these footprints to see if we can find them."

"Qingling, you and Senior Brother Qingfeng stay here and wait for the police to arrive."

Qingming suggested.

After hearing this, Yang Qingshu and the others exchanged looks and nodded in agreement.

Thus, Lu Heng and Qingling were left at the scene.

Qingming and Yang Qingshu then followed the footprints in the mud to start searching ahead.

...

At the Yan Family’s cemetery, though still brightly lit, there wasn’t a single person in sight.

The Yin Coffin that wouldn’t burn no matter what and the sudden downpour truly scared everyone off.

People ran away in all directions, without even the courage to look back.

As the rain gradually stopped, three figures reappeared in the cemetery.

"Well done, Brother Yan."

"Didn’t expect you to scare everyone away like that!"

"I thought we were going to follow the original plan and start at midnight!"

The speaker was a man in his early forties, with an egg-shaped bald head and a thick beard covering his cheeks and chin.

"I didn’t expect to suddenly unearth some Yin Coffin either."

If anyone else were here, they’d surely be dumbfounded.

Because the one who replied was none other than Boss Yan of the Yan Family!

"Brother Yan, can this coffin really not be ignited?"

Another person asked, full of doubt.

He had a slightly long face and wore black-rimmed glasses, looking quite cultured.

"It can’t be!"

Boss Yan shook his head and said, "Before the rain, these people poured several buckets of gasoline, but it just wouldn’t burn."

"Otherwise, they wouldn’t all have been scared away."

"Old Zhang, do you think if we transport this Yin Coffin to Hong Kong Island, some wealthy person might be interested?"

The bald bearded man’s gaze was fixated on the Yin Coffin, obviously very interested.

"There should be someone interested."

"After all, this item is one of a kind, even more precious than golden Phoebe wood!"

"However, to sell it for a higher price, we must hype it up a bit."

The black-rimmed glasses man pushed up his glasses and replied with a smile.

"Selling it for a high price is good."

"Once Third Brother and the others return, pack it up with the golden Phoebe wood coffin and take it away."

The bald bearded man grinned, very satisfied.

"Big Brother, I didn’t expect you to be so despicable!"

"This is our great-grandfather’s coffin!"

At this moment, a cold female voice suddenly sounded within the cemetery.

When Boss Yan and the others heard this and turned around, they saw it was Yan Ya who had spoken.

Accompanying Yan Ya were four security guards from the Yan Family, all of whom were glaring at the three men.

"You... how did you come back?"

Seeing Yan Ya, Boss Yan was extremely surprised.

"Why couldn’t I come back?"

Yan Ya replied with a cold smile.

In fact, from the beginning, she had noticed something was off with her big brother.

Her big brother used to not care about family matters.

Unless something happened to the old man, it was rare to see him around.

But for this time’s grave relocation, her big brother volunteered to cooperate with Master Yang.

After that, he personally inspected the cemetery, contacted various vehicles, and meticulously arranged various programs, among other things.

What’s more, before the old man left, he again actively asked to stay behind.

This series of abnormal actions had long made Yan Ya suspicious.

Originally, she thought her big brother was eyeing the burial goods in their great-grandfather’s grave.

But it turns out he wasn’t after the burial goods at all!

He was clearly coveting their great-grandfather’s golden Phoebe wood coffin!
