Chapter 539: Jiang Nai Goes Missing – Part 3
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
In school, news came back that she hadn’t attended classes for the past two days.
They tried various methods but couldn’t find Jiang Nai’s whereabouts. Finally, they had no choice but to contact Nan Yan.
That same day, they returned to China.
As for Nolan, because the time was up and Nolan regained control of his body, he asked Nan Yan to fulfill their agreement and let him leave.
Nan Yan, constrained by Wen Heng’s presence, could only let Nolan go.
After Nolan left Merck, Nan Yan wanted someone to monitor him.
But soon, he disappeared without a trace, as if he vanished into thin air, leaving no trace behind.
Li Yuan would use the Dark Realm’s abilities to track him down with all his might.
Now, the most important thing was to find Jiang Nai.
Upon returning to China, it was already approaching evening, with darkness setting in within the next hour.
They went straight to the Lu residence.
Old Master An and Old Master Lu were both anxious, too worried to even eat.
Seeing Nan Yan and the others return, Old Master An hurriedly grabbed her hand and anxiously said, “Yanyan, we can’t find Jiang Nai anywhere. Could something have happened to her?”
In his emotional turmoil, he accidentally grabbed Nan Yan’s injured wrist.
Qin Lu furrowed his brows, wanting to remind Old Master An, but was secretly stopped by Nan Yan.
In a soothing voice, she reassured, “Grandpa, don’t worry, I’ll look into it.”
To prevent Old Master An from seeing her injury and getting worried, she wrapped the bandaged wrist with a sports wristband, concealing her injury.
Old Master An nodded, “Okay, let’s investigate first.”
“Yanyan, I’ll leave Jiang Nai’s matter to you!” Old Master Lu was equally worried.
Jiang Nai was now Old Master Lu’s disciple.
Her talent in chess surprised Old Master Lu, who, unable to teach Nan Yan art, found a disciple who suited his preferences very well. Old Master Lu now treasured Jiang Nai dearly.
On the first day of high school, Jiang Nai was sent off by Old Master Lu. At that time, Old Master An’s health hadn’t improved yet, otherwise, he would have gone too.
After reassuring the two elders, Nan Yan took out her notebook.
But Qin Lu took it from her, “Your hand shouldn’t engage in strenuous activities. I’ll do it.”
Controlling a computer requires sensitivity and demands a high level of hand nerve control.
Although Nan Yan’s hand could move, she couldn’t manipulate the computer quickly for extended periods of time.
Old Master An suddenly noticed that Nan Yan was wearing a wrist brace and quickly asked, “Yanyan, what happened to your hand?”
Nan Yan shook her head and said, “It’s nothing, just accidentally twisted it. My master has already helped me set it, so a few days of rest will be fine.”
Old Master An’s expression became tense, “If your hand is injured, then take good care of it. Don’t move it around recklessly. Your hand is so precious, it must be fully healed.”
Old Master Lu quickly removed Old Master An’s hand from Nan Yan’s wrist and asked, “Elder An, did you just grab Yanyan’s wrist? Yanyan, does your wrist hurt?”
Old Master An realized belatedly that, because of his anxiety, he not only grabbed her wrist but also applied some force.
Feeling guilty, he said, “Yanyan…”
Nan Yan interrupted him and said seriously, “It’s okay, it’s just a minor injury.
It’ll be fine in a couple of days. Don’t worry.”
“Besides, with my master here, even if my hand were broken, he could fix it in minutes.”
Old Master Lu:
Old Master An:
Let’s drop it!
Seeing that the emotions of the two old masters had finally calmed down a bit, Nan Yan’s gaze fell on Qin Lu.
She had always known that Qin Lu’s computer skills were excellent.
But seeing him operate a computer with her own eyes was a first.
His noble and fair hands danced across the keyboard like playing a piano, leaving afterimages.
Nan Yan watched his speed, thoughtful.
After her hand healed, should she challenge him?
About ten minutes later, Qin Lu pressed the Enter key and turned to Nan Yan, saying, “This is the surveillance video from before Jiang Nai went missing.” Nan Yan leaned over and tapped the space bar to start the video.
And so, she bent over, almost leaning her head against his, watching the screen.
In the footage, Jiang Nai walked out of the school, but before she got far, a hand reached out from a door of an unmarked van and pulled her inside.
Then the door closed, and the van quickly drove away.
The entire process took no more than ten seconds.
It was so fast that even the people around didn’t notice anything unusual.
They didn’t even know that right under their noses, a kidnapping had taken place.
Old Master An furrowed his brow, “Jiang Nai was kidnapped. What do they want?”
Old Master Lu’s expression grew solemn, “No one has contacted us in these past two days. Could it be that the kidnappers aren’t after money?”
It it’s not money, then it can only be….
