Upon hearing "The number you have dialed is switched off. Please try again later…" Bai Xi frowned slightly, "Dr. Han might really be in trouble."
First, his calls were unanswered, and now his phone was switched off. There were only two possibilities.
One, he was unwilling to answer the call and had directly switched off his phone.
Two, the phone was in someone else's hands, and it was either switched off or damaged.
Although both were possible, the last time Bai Xi communicated with Han Mo, he had said that she could call him anytime regarding Bai Han's condition, and his phone was always on.
Would such a person hang up someone's call without reason?
Therefore, the probability of the second scenario was much higher than the first.
Moreover, Han Mo was an adult, an adult male.
In her career in the dark department, she understood one thing clearly: the easier it was to control kidnapped individuals, the lower the probability of their personal safety being threatened.
Children under five were often sold to other families as their own children. If they were lucky, they would grow up healthy.
Boys over five might be crippled and forced to beg.
Girls who were abducted could be subjected to insult, kept as mistresses, or forced into prostitution.
As for adult males… they were either trafficked for organs or directly eliminated by people who disliked them, leading to a sharp increase in the probability of death.
Thus, the longer the time dragged on, the more dangerous Han Mo would become.
Without hesitation, Bai Xi moved her fingers and pressed her earring. The earring emitted a faint blue light. "Immediately retrieve the surveillance footage and check on that Han Mo you were investigating earlier. Where is he now!"
Shen Mingxun's voice came from the other end, "Yes."
His response was prompt, but he quickly raised a question, "Eldest Miss, where should we start looking?"
The previous investigation into Han Mo had been a process of following leads. However, after confirming his identity as genuine and trustworthy, they had stopped monitoring him. Now, it was not easy to quickly determine his location.
If only they had installed a GPS on him during the investigation.
Bai Xi frowned slightly, "Start by checking the surveillance footage from the hospital and Han Mo's residence."
She knew that if a person was under the surveillance of the dark department, it was easy to track them, like the Bai family.
But for an ordinary person living anonymously among the crowd, apart from being handsome and striking, if one had no knowledge of their behavioral patterns before the search, it would require a lot of time to eliminate possibilities.
Saving a life was like fighting a fire. She could wait, but whether Han Mo could wait was unknown.
Thinking of the potential danger Han Mo might be in, Bai Xi's eyes grew colder.
She turned to Bai Han and asked, "Xiao Han, when exactly in your dream was Dr. Han abducted? Was it morning or afternoon, day or night? Were there any landmarks nearby?"
Although the idea of a dream seemed fantastical, she believed that everything Bai Han said was true. Moreover, this was indeed the quickest and only way to narrow down the search.
Bai Han, having found someone who was willing to believe him, and with genuine concern for Han Mo's safety, immediately began to recall the scenes from his dream.
"Um… the time was around dusk, the sun wasn't too harsh. When Dr. Han was taken away, those people were wearing green and yellow clothes. There were many trees and houses nearby. The houses looked ordinary… Finally, he was dragged into a black jeep."
Bai Xi frowned. There was no useful information in this description. "Xiao Han, think carefully. Was there anything particularly distinctive? Like the car's license plate number, or were there any large billboards in the distance?"
Bai Han closed his eyes and tried hard to recall. Suddenly, his eyes lit up slightly, "I remember! I remember seeing a big red billboard when the car drove away. The billboard showed a woman drinking a colorful beverage, and the billboard was huge!"
Bai Xi relayed the important parts of Bai Han's account to Shen Mingxun and said into the blue butterfly earring, "Did you hear that clearly?"
Shen Mingxun immediately replied, "Don't worry, Bai Shen. I'll find him within five minutes!"
As he spoke, Shen Mingxun's voice could be heard giving orders to the personnel of the dark department's information processing division: "Retrieve…"
As a mother, she felt immensely ashamed and heartbroken.
Bai Xi stepped forward and hugged her, "Mom, Dr. Han is missing today, and Brother is very emotional. You don't seem to be in good spirits either. I'll have someone send you back now."
Lin Yun also knew that her current state was not suitable for meeting Bai Han. Moreover, the doctor seemed to be in trouble, which was also bothering Xi'er greatly. She really couldn't burden Xi'er anymore. "Okay, Mom will go back first. You go ahead and handle your business. Since that child is Han'er's attending physician, you must save him."
They had sought countless doctors for Bai Han's illness, but all had said there was no cure, which had even caused Bai Han to resist.
Yet today, Xiao Han was worried about this doctor, indicating that this doctor must have been very dedicated to Xiao Han. Regardless of whether he could cure him, he had to be saved.
