The day started normally.
Too normally.
Shen Yan didn't arrive at the office.
Minji checked the time again.
"…That's not like him," she whispered.
She called once.
No answer.
Twice.
Still nothing.
A strange uneasiness filled her chest.
Meanwhile—
Man Ning sat in her office.
Working.
But her focus—
Disturbed.
That same feeling again.
Stronger.
"…Something's wrong," she murmured.
At LH Group—
Minji rushed to the security room.
"Check the cameras," she said.
Footage played.
Shen Yan leaving the building the previous night.
Then—
Nothing.
"…No return?" Minji frowned.
Her heart started racing.
"This isn't normal."
At the same time—
A dark place.
Silent.
Shen Yan lay still.
Unconscious.
A shadow stood nearby.
Watching.
"…Let's see how long this lasts," the voice said quietly.
No face.
No identity.
Just intention.
Back in the city—
Man Ning stood up suddenly.
Her hand tightening.
"…Why do I feel this…" she whispered.
Without thinking—
She picked up her phone.
Called Minji.
"Where is he?" she asked directly.
Minji froze.
"…We don't know," she replied.
Silence.
Man Ning's eyes darkened.
"…Send me everything," she said.
Cold.
Focused.
Minji didn't question.
"Okay."
Moments later—
Man Ning stood still.
Looking at the last known location.
"…I'm going," she said.
No hesitation.
Because something inside her—
Was pulling her.
Not logic.
Not reason.
Something deeper.
