After lingering at the entrance of Ma Zhibiao's room for a while, Zhang Kaiwen climbed the stairs to the third floor and arrived at the door of Room 302, where Lu Xiaoran lived.
Little Ma still hadn't returned, and if Lu Xiaoran was also absent, it was possible that something had indeed happened to both of them.
Zhang Kaiwen furrowed his brow, deep in thought as he raised his hand and knocked on Lu Xiaoran's door.
Knock knock.
Hearing the knocking sound, Lu Xiaoran quickly stood up from his bed. He guessed that the person knocking outside was Zhang Kaiwen. Given that Ma Zhibiao hadn’t returned yet, Zhang Kaiwen might have sensed something was wrong and come to confirm the situation with him.
Lu Xiaoran was uncertain whether Zhang Kaiwen would attack him. He tensed up, ready to use his ability to counter any potential threat.
"Boss, what brings you here?" Lu Xiaoran opened the door with a relaxed smile.
"I just went to Ma Zhibiao's room and found out he hasn't come back yet. You two are teammates; do you know where he is?" Zhang Kaiwen asked.
Feigning ignorance, Lu Xiaoran responded with a puzzled expression, "Ma Zhibiao hasn’t returned? Earlier, we were at the foot of the mountain together. He mentioned he forgot something at the residential building and told me to go up alone while he drove back to get it. By now, he should have retrieved it."
Zhang Kaiwen's face showed surprise as he looked into Lu Xiaoran's eyes and asked, "You said you were at the foot of the mountain together. Did Ma Zhibiao tell you exactly what he needed to retrieve?"
Lu Xiaoran pretended to think for a moment before shaking his head. "He didn’t specify what he was going to get. After all, that’s his private matter, and I didn’t want to pry. After we were at the foot of the mountain, I came back here to the shelter."
Zhang Kaiwen continued to question Lu Xiaoran about the details of the situation. However, Lu Xiaoran had already prepared his lies in advance. Even with various detailed inquiries, Zhang Kaiwen found no flaws in his story.
As Zhang Kaiwen left Lu Xiaoran’s room, he pondered over everything. It was possible that Ma Zhibiao really had gone back to retrieve something as Lu Xiaoran had said.
For now, it would be best to wait a little longer; if Ma Zhibiao hadn’t returned by afternoon, they could send someone out to look for him.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Kaiwen arrived once again at Ma Zhibiao's door. He knocked for a long time, but there was still no sign of Ma Zhibiao coming out to open it.
At this hour, Little Ma had not returned, which surely meant something was wrong outside. Zhang Kaiwen stood at the entrance, pacing back and forth while deep in thought.
He needed to find someone to trace the route that Lu Xiaoran and the others had taken to see what had happened to Ma Zhibiao. Zhang Kaiwen took out his phone and dialed a number.
Before long, a man appeared before him. This man was tall and thin, with curly hair that looked like a bird's nest, giving him a rather disheveled appearance. His name was Yang Yin, and he had previously been incarcerated in the same prison as Zhang Kaiwen and Ma Zhibiao, forming a certain bond with both of them.
