Chapter 1044: Someone is still alive!

When Ye Chen left home, Xiao Churan was still soaking in the hot spring.

She had no idea that her husband had left the hot spring in a bathrobe, saying he was going to get a drink, only to end up taking a helicopter to the airport and then flying to Japan.

She waited and waited but couldn't wait for Ye Chen. After coming out of the hot spring and returning to the living room, she didn't see Ye Chen's shadow, which made her feel suspicious.

She picked up her phone to call Ye Chen, but it showed that the phone was turned off.

This made her even more puzzled. Returning to the bedroom, she still couldn't find Ye Chen's shadow, only seeing a note Ye Chen had left for her on the bedside table.

The note had a line written on it: "Wife, a friend is in life-threatening danger, I have to rush over to save them."

After reading it, Xiao Churan was shocked, "Saving someone?! Could it be that they encountered something terrible?!"

Thinking of this, she hurriedly sent a voice message to Ye Chen: "Husband, where did you go? What happened? No matter what, you must be careful!"

……

Japan, Tokyo.

The Ito family's ninjas took a helicopter and arrived near the mountainous area of Nishitama District in the shortest possible time.

Subsequently, the helicopter landed a few kilometers away from the foot of the mountain, and ten ninjas dressed in black filed out, running at high speed toward the mountains.

The reason they didn't let the helicopter fly directly in was because Ito Nanako was afraid of alerting the enemy.

She had a similar view to Ye Chen: Song Wanting was likely harmed by someone. So, if she let her people search with great fanfare in a helicopter, and Song Wanting wasn't dead yet, her people might disturb the other party, causing even more trouble.

However, the mountains of Nishitama District stretched for hundreds of kilometers, and the winding mountain road alone was dozens of kilometers long. Therefore, they could only hide in the darkness and walk along the mountain road to investigate for clues.

Fortunately, the Ito family had sent out quite a few ninjas this time. Ten ninjas were sent out in full force, starting from the entrance to the mountain to patrol for all clues.

Just as they were searching, Ito Nanako also set off from home by helicopter, heading to Narita Airport.

2:00 AM Tokyo time.

Because Song Rongyu personally went to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to report the case, a large number of police officers had been ordered to set off to search for Song Wanting's whereabouts.

For the Chief of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, the news of Song Wanting going missing in Tokyo was like a nightmare.

A few days ago, an unprecedented chaotic battle occurred in Tokyo. Various assassinations and murders emerged one after another, and many wealthy and powerful figures died in a series of violent events, shocking the whole world.

Not only did it make the whole world mock Tokyo's security problems, but it also made the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department lose all face in front of the world.

It had finally returned to normal, and security was becoming peaceful, but who could have imagined that another well-known foreign entrepreneur would go missing in Tokyo!

The Song Group had a total market value of nearly 200 billion RMB. As the chairwoman of the Song Group, with her net worth, Song Wanting was a proper business elite no matter which country she went to.

Yet, this business elite had gone missing in Tokyo, and according to her family's report, it was highly likely she had met with misfortune!

The Chief of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. If Song Wanting really died in Tokyo, Tokyo might as well never show its face again!

Therefore, he immediately rushed to the police department to supervise the battle, sending out thousands of police officers to search for Song Wanting's whereabouts.

Like the Ito family, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department also used surveillance footage to track all clues before Song Wanting went missing.

Moreover, the police department could directly access all surveillance cameras in Tokyo, so they quickly found relevant clues and locked the location of Song Wanting's accident to Nishitama District.

The police officers of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department didn't care about alerting the enemy.

They directly sent hundreds of police officers to drive to Nishitama District, intending to block all roads entering and leaving the mountains. At the same time, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department also sent six police helicopters to the mountainous area of Nishitama District, intending to find Song Wanting's whereabouts as soon as possible.

Ito Nanako soon received the news and immediately ordered the ninjas she had sent out to act low-key and try not to have any direct contact with the police department.

2:30 AM Tokyo time.

After passing through several mountains, the Ito family's ninjas smelled a burnt odor near the scene of the accident, which had already been cleaned up by the perpetrators.

Subsequently, relying on this smell, they tracked all the way to the bottom of the valley.

Along the way, they discovered the body of Song Wanting's assistant, Chen Yan, who had been thrown out of the car. It was already shattered and too horrible to look at.

They immediately passed the news to Ito Nanako. Ito Nanako was shocked and immediately ordered them, "See if the face can still be identified, and then search for Song Wanting's photo online to see if it's the same person!"

After identifying it, the lead ninja said to Ito Nanako, "Eldest Miss, this body shouldn't be Miss Song's. We will continue to search further down!"

Ito Nanako breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "Hurry down and take a look!"

The ninja said, "Eldest Miss, there's something I need to tell you."

Ito Nanako hurriedly said, "Okay, go ahead."

The lead ninja said, "This cliff is at least several hundred meters high. We've only just reached halfway down. From the female corpse just now, it can be seen that when the vehicle rolled and fell, it suffered a huge impact and the huge inertia generated by the rolling. Therefore, the people inside are highly unlikely to have survived."

"Moreover, the further down we go, the more we can smell the burnt odor. This proves that the vehicle caught fire after falling to the bottom of the valley. Therefore, the possibility of anyone surviving is even smaller. Even a top-tier ninja would find it very difficult to escape in this situation..."

Ito Nanako's heart tightened, and she hurriedly said, "I understand. You go down and check the situation first, and report to me in time!"

The lead ninja said, "Eldest Miss, our phone signal is very unstable now. If we go any further down, we might not be able to find any signal at all. We might be temporarily out of contact for a while. Please don't be anxious. Once we find clues, we will immediately climb up and report to you!"

Ito Nanako immediately said, "Okay! Hurry and see what the situation is. If you find Miss Song's body, tell me immediately. If you can't find Miss Song's body, then Miss Song is highly likely still alive. Search carefully in the surrounding area!"

"Okay, Eldest Miss, we're going down now!"

Immediately, the ten ninjas jumped downward quickly like parkour experts.

These people still possessed excellent eyesight in the middle of the night, and their movements were very agile. On the steep cliff slopes, they were still able to find footholds safely, quickly, and accurately, and soon reached the valley floor one by one.

At this time, at the bottom of the valley, the business car Song Wanting had been riding in had already burned to nothing.

The snow that had accumulated in the valley for a whole winter ensured that the fuel leaked by the business car didn't trigger a forest fire, but even so, the snow melted by the scorching heat during the burning gathered into a small stream below.

Inside the business car, which had already burned into a lump of scrap metal, were two charred bodies.

The bodies had almost turned into carbon ash, and black carbon flakes fell off with a gust of wind. If one were to touch them with their hands, they would likely turn into a pile of black ash.

Through the contours, it could be determined that there were two bodies in the car, and they were a man and a woman.

However, the female corpse was completely unrecognizable.

One of the ninjas sighed, "Boss, the people have burned to this point; even the Sun Goddess couldn't save them. Let's go up and find a signal to report back to the Eldest Miss."

The lead ninja was just about to nod when he suddenly saw an anomaly on the ground by the faint light.

He immediately lay on the ground to smell it, and touched the ground with his hand to feel the difference in softness and hardness in different positions, exclaiming, "This is a string of fresh footprints! Someone is still alive!" ===== CHAPTER 1045 =====
