So, he followed Luo Tianyi back the way they came.
As for Lu Peng and the others lying on the ground, Li Changlin could not be bothered with them at this moment.
However, he believed Lu Peng was no fool. Even though Lu Peng had suffered a setback this time, he surely wouldn’t dare call the police.
The two of them stepped onto the sidewalk and hastened their pace.
Li Changlin searched for the property management’s contact for Yang Liying’s residence in Shencheng as they walked and then dialed the number.
At this hour, the property office was definitely empty. Li Changlin called several times, but no one answered.
For a moment, he felt somewhat desperate.
If the only clue they had was temporarily ineffective, how was he to save Ziwei?
This was truly frustrating!
Li Changlin waved his hand in vexation and helplessly placed his phone back into his pocket.
Soon, they reached the spot where Luo Tianyi had parked her car.
Luo Tianyi took out a set of keys from her bag and opened the car door to slide into the driver’s seat.
Li Changlin didn’t stand on ceremony, walking around the car to open the passenger side door and get in.
"Did Yang Liying’s car also pass by this road just now?" Starting the car, Luo Tianyi signaled for Li Changlin to fasten his seat belt and then reversed the vehicle out of the parking space.
"Yes, Yang Liying’s car was ahead, and I was in her bodyguard’s car." Li Changlin hadn’t explained the situation earlier, so he quickly relayed to Luo Tianyi how Yang Liying had deceived him and Ziwei using Luo Tianyi’s identity.
"Earlier, on the stage, Yang Liying also said she wanted to invite me for late-night snacks." Recalling this, Luo Tianyi shuddered.
As smart as she was, of course, she realized that Yang Liying had already been plotting at that time.
Even, that madwoman might have planned to target herself.
But at the time, she had rejected Yang Liying. Little did she know Lu Peng was also scheming against her.
If it hadn’t been for Li Changlin’s timely arrival, then she...
Luo Tianyi felt a chill in her heart and while driving, she earnestly thanked Li Changlin again.
"It’s nothing, just lending a hand. Now I should be the one thanking you, Miss Luo, for helping me look for Ziwei," Li Changlin quickly waved it off, actually finding the whole situation quite astonishing.
Shortly after, Luo Tianyi drove onto the main road and slowly proceeded forward.
In the current situation, even if they drove as fast as they could, it wouldn’t be of any use.
Instead, both of them needed to keep a clear head in order to analyze what Yang Liying would do next and where she might head to.
Simply put, if Yang Liying truly had a residence in Huacheng, taking Qian Ziwei directly there would be the best option.
However, considering Qian Ziwei was also someone she had just met, Yang Liying likely didn’t have the nerve to take Qian Ziwei straight back to her place.
After all, she did not know her thoroughly. In case Qian Ziwei caused any trouble later on, Yang Liying probably couldn’t handle it.
And there was an even more critical point, which was that once Qian Ziwei realized Li Changlin hadn’t followed, she likely wouldn’t comply with Yang Liying’s "arrangements."
Furthermore, the reason Yang Liying was able to take Qian Ziwei away was by using Luo Tianyi as an excuse.
Moreover, she had also mentioned having a late-night snack.
Therefore, in Luo Tianyi’s estimation, if Yang Liying wanted her wish to be fulfilled, she would definitely need to take Qian Ziwei to a place where they could have late-night snacks first.
Furthermore, to ensure her conspiracy remained undetected, she naturally couldn’t allow Qian Ziwei to get in touch with Changlin.
Therefore, Yang Liying had to gain control over Qian Ziwei as soon as possible. Only then would her plans be safe from ruin.
In that case, Yang Liying’s options were limited; the only good place for her to go was a hotel or guesthouse that served late-night snacks.
Of course, if Yang Liying had already booked a room somewhere in advance, then there was nothing anyone could do about it.
After all, there wasn’t much traffic at night; at worst, Yang Liying would just be speeding, which wouldn’t take up too much time.
While driving, Luo Tianyi helped Li Changlin analyze the situation.
Changlin was inherently intelligent, so after hearing Luo Tianyi’s analysis, he immediately made further inferences.
After all, Yang Liying knew that he and Qian Ziwei were from Jincheng, and that they were not very familiar with Huacheng.
Moreover, the excuse Changlin had used was that he had come to Huacheng to audition for "The Voice of Xuanyuan," so Yang Liying was even less likely to be on guard.
Given this, to make Qian Ziwei believe her, Yang Liying wouldn’t take her too far.
"Let’s search within a three-mile radius nearby," Changlin’s eyes lit up as he made a decision on the spot.
Putting himself in Yang Liying’s shoes, a three-mile radius was the best arrangement he could think of.
This was because at that time, Changlin was busy rescuing Luo Tianyi, and by the time things settled down, he could no longer reach Qian Ziwei by phone.
From this, Li Changlin deduced that during that timeframe, Yang Liying must have reached her destination.
Considering that Yang Liying was a partner of the Xuyang Opera House, her destination was likely not far from the Opera House.
However, now that so much time had passed, he didn’t know whether Ziwei had already...
The thought of Yang Liying being Lily made Changlin feel even more frustrated.
This woman was truly, truly infuriating.
Ziwei, you must be alright!
Li Changlin, annoyed, hammered the car door, a sharp glint crossing his mind.
If Ziwei had really been taken advantage of by Yang Liying, cough cough, what the hell did that even mean?
A woman, why engage in a lesbian relationship?
Changlin was very frustrated; if this woman really made Ziwei upset, he would never let her off the hook!
When the time came, Changlin wouldn’t mind being ruthless.
With gritted teeth, Li Changlin deeply etched this woman into his memory.
"Alright, there’s a five-star hotel nearby, let’s check it out first," Luo Tianyi naturally understood Li Changlin’s intentions and didn’t oppose his decision.
"Thank you, Miss Luo," Changlin said appreciatively. He felt a slight pang of guilt towards Luo Tianyi, for he had kissed her on stage in front of thousands—no, more than three hundred and eighty thousand people.
Luo Tianyi was oblivious to the fact that Li Changlin had been live streaming, and that he was a top broadcaster.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t be as calm as she was now.
The thought of tens of thousands of people watching her kiss Li Changlin could easily be overwhelming just to think about.
