Chapter 260

Zhong Ruili emphasized: "It's been seventeen days!"

"I want to go see for myself!"

Zhong Ruili glanced at Su Yang, smiled casually, and handed him a file: "Fine, here's the file. If you're still not convinced, go take a look!"

"Mm!"

Taking the file, Su Yang led his team out of the military headquarters.

Xu Jiutian whispered: "Captain, it's been seventeen days already!"

Clearly, he had little hope.

"So what if it's been seventeen days? Do we have any other options?"

Su Yang found Yu Xiuhui's home address and gave it to Adjutant Jiang Long: "Take us there!"

Along the way, Su Yang carefully read through the Juan Sect file and gained a general understanding of what had happened.

Yu Xiuhui was just an ordinary clerical worker at a factory.

Seventeen days ago, after her evening shift, she never returned home.

Her family assumed she was working overtime—overtime was normal.

The next day, her family grew suspicious and went to the factory looking for their daughter.

After checking the factory's entrance surveillance, they discovered their daughter was missing!

Yu Xiuhui's family filed a report, but Nanyucheng didn't take it seriously at the time.

They had focused all their efforts on hunting down members of the Shoushen Sect Sect.

By the time Nanyucheng finally noticed, Yu Xiuhui had been missing for ten days—it was already too late.

At Yu Xiuhui's home, Su Yang met her parents and younger brother.

None of them looked well—their eyes were red.

"Officer, have you found Xiuhui?"

"Not yet!"

Yu Xiuhui's parents and brother wore expressions of deep disappointment.

"Take me to Yu Xiuhui's room!"

"Alright!"

Yu Xiuhui's mother led Su Yang into her bedroom.

The room was plain: on the desk sat a few accounting textbooks, neatly arranged.

In the vase beside it lay a bunch of dried Moonlit Flowers.

Su Yang closed his eyes and took a deep breath—countless scents flooded his mind at once.

He glanced at Yu Xiuhui's mother and said: "I'm a Beast Tamer—I'm extremely sensitive to smells."

"Mm!"

He sniffed the pillow, the blanket, and Yu Xiuhui's clothes.

With Su Yang's warning, Yu Xiuhui's mother didn't find anything odd.

"Officer, please take care of my daughter's case!"

"We'll do our best!"

Seventeen days had passed—Su Yang couldn't guarantee anything.

Next, they headed to Yu Xiuhui's workplace.

Factory surveillance showed that on that day, Yu Xiuhui had left the factory.

Chen Ke whispered: "Do you think the Captain can find her?"

Xu Jiutian whispered: "Don't you remember? The Captain is especially skilled at scent tracking!"

"Right! I recall he was rated Class One—among the top in the entire Southwest!"

Su Yang heard them and merely smiled.

During his Emergency Team evaluation, his scent-tracking ability was indeed rated Class One.

At the time, the Earth Bear's scent talent was merely Rare.

Now, the Earth Bear's scent talent is Legendary!

Across the entire Huaxia Federation, his scent-tracking ability is absolutely top-tier!

With the wind at his back, he could smell a period even a kilometer away…

Standing at the factory gate, Su Yang sniffed—the scents of tens of thousands of odors surged into his brain.

Su Yang strained to isolate Yu Xiuhui's unique scent from the tens of thousands.

After standing in place for two minutes, he slowly opened his eyes and stepped forward decisively to the left.

The scent was faint—extremely faint—overwhelmed by countless stronger odors!

Yet it had not escaped Su Yang's nose!

The four Emergency Team members behind him and Adjutant Jiang Long immediately followed.

After walking over ten minutes, they reached an intersection, and Su Yang stopped.

Yu Xiuhui's scent here was slightly stronger.

Straight ahead led to Yu Xiuhui's home.

But at that moment, she had turned right.

Su Yang turned right too—the aging buildings on both sides gradually became more elegant; through an archway, they entered Nanyucheng's Central District.

Another ten minutes passed, and Su Yang arrived at an apartment complex.

After strolling casually through the apartment complex, Su Yang stopped.

He turned and asked Adjutant Jiang Long: "Who lives in the six buildings of the apartment district we just passed?"

"Mostly military families!"

"They really know how to hide!"
