Chapter 27: Doctor Xu’s Midnight Crisis

At warehouse...

The air inside the dimly lit room was thick with tension. Tang Zhenyu stepped in, his sharp eyes immediately scanning the space.

The bed? Empty.

The supposed captive? Gone.

For a full second, there was silence. Then—

A deep, ominous breath. Tang Zhenyu's expression darkened.

The realization of their mistake hit him like a thunderstorm. They had underestimated her.

His fingers clenched into tight fists, the muscles in his jaw tensing dangerously. The very idea that Lin Yuxi had slipped through their fingers after everything was infuriating.

The sound of approaching footsteps echoed through the hall. Tang Zhenqi entered the room, only to halt mid-step as his gaze landed on the empty space where Yuxi should have been.

He blinked once. Twice.

Then—

"…You lost her?"

Zhenyu's head snapped towards him, his gaze burning with unspoken rage. "We," he corrected, voice dangerously low.
