At this moment, Qianxi was still as beautiful as when Ren Tianye first saw her, but Ren Tianye always felt that something was missing from Qianxi. Although Ren Tianye couldn't pinpoint it, his intuition told him he was right. In fact, Ren Tianye's intuition was correct; ever since Xiao Yifei applied the needle technique on her, Qianxi indeed changed quite a bit.

"Qianxi? Why are you looking for me?" Ren Tianye asked in surprise, and there was a hint of delight in his heart. Hearing this, Qianxi paused before saying, "I'm here to ask you something." Qianxi's tone was gentle and calm.

Listening to her tone, Ren Tianye frowned because he realized his intuition was correct upon hearing Qianxi speak. If it were the old Qianxi, she would certainly grab Ren Tianye by the collar and lift him up. But now, she was very calm.

Seeing Ren Tianye not speaking, Qianxi straightforwardly said, "Ren Tianye, is Xiao Yifei with you?" Qianxi asked while frowning, still without anger. Hearing this, Ren Tianye snapped out of it and quickly shook his head; ever since Xiao Yifei had met with Ren Tianye at the wall, Ren Tianye hadn't seen Xiao Yifei again.

Ren Tianye's shake of the head made Qianxi frown because of Ren Tianye's previous actions, making Qianxi reluctant to easily believe what Ren Tianye said. Seeing Qianxi's disbelieving expression, Ren Tianye sighed helplessly and said, "I saw him once last time when I came out of the company, but since then, I haven't seen Xiao Yifei."

Having said that, Ren Tianye asked again, "So, Xiao Yifei is missing?" Hearing Ren Tianye ask that, Qianxi slowly nodded; indeed, at this moment, Xiao Yifei was missing.

"Xiao Yifei is missing?" Ren Tianye frowned and asked. Hearing this, Qianxi helplessly nodded, indicating Ren Tianye was correct. "That's why I'm suspicious of you," Qianxi said slowly; that was his reason for suspecting Ren Tianye.

Hearing Qianxi say that, Ren Tianye nodded with a touch of bitterness. Certainly, with Xiao Yifei missing, anyone with some level of intelligence would suspect him. But despite knowing this, Ren Tianye felt a slight bitterness in his heart.

After a while, Ren Tianye sighed and said, "There's no need to suspect me; I didn't touch him." Ren Tianye's words were very calm, even somewhat wistful. Actually, when Xiao Yifei came to the company to find Ren Tianye last time, Ren Tianye's impression of Xiao Yifei had somewhat changed.

Therefore, Ren Tianye hadn't harbored any thoughts of revenge against Xiao Yifei and naturally wouldn't capture him. Hearing Ren Tianye say this, Qianxi frowned because he felt Ren Tianye wasn't lying. But this meant the trail went cold; the only suspect was now ruled out.

Yet the culprit wasn't Ren Tianye after all, so Qianxi had no choice but to say helplessly, "Alright, since it wasn't you, I'll leave." After saying this, he prepared to turn around and leave.

"Won't you stay for a while?" As Qianxi turned around, Ren Tianye said bitterly. Hearing this, Qianxi gave a cold laugh, rejected Ren Tianye, and then left without looking back. Watching Qianxi's departing silhouette, a bitter smile appeared on Ren Tianye's face.

Unable to find Xiao Yifei at Ren Tianye's place, Qianxi had to return to the others and tell them. Upon hearing that Xiao Yifei wasn't with Ren Tianye, the crowd became somewhat conflicted; the only lead was gone, making it difficult to find another.

So the group discussed it for a long time but didn't know what to do. With no alternatives, they could only rely on Hua Xiangrong's investigation.

Meanwhile, on Xiao Yifei's end, he was also racking his brains on how to escape, discussing with Liu Bailong while secretly contemplating. But unfortunately, the prison's defenses were tight, and none of Xiao Yifei's escape plans worked. Five days passed in a flash, but fortunately, the prison guards didn't neglect Xiao Yifei, so despite being somewhat bored, his time there wasn't too bad.

After finishing a meal, Xiao Yifei again sought out the only person he could talk to, Liu Bailong. At that moment, Liu Bailong also didn't know what to do, so he picked up where Xiao Yifei left off. As expected, Xiao Yifei was still discussing escape plans, and this time he wanted to dig a tunnel to escape from the prison.

Hearing this idea, Liu Bailong couldn't help but laugh. Not to mention whether the plan was feasible or not, even if it were possible, with what tool would Xiao Yifei dig a tunnel? It's known that the prison's floors are made of marble, and without a chisel, it's impossible to dig through with ordinary tools.

So Liu Bailong also shared his thoughts with Xiao Yifei, essentially saying the plan wouldn't work. Hearing this, Xiao Yifei glanced at the floor beneath him and realized Liu Bailong was right; the prison's floors were indeed made of marble.

Looking at the hard marble, Xiao Yifei couldn't help but feel a bit dejected. He had learned it from a movie, and suddenly thinking of it sparked his hope for escape. But this hope was defeated by the thick floor before being put into action.

"Sigh, this prison is tougher than my skin," Xiao Yifei said helplessly while looking at the pitch-black walls. Hearing Xiao Yifei joke like this, Liu Bailong laughed heartily, and to be honest, since Xiao Yifei's arrival, Liu Bailong had been a lot happier.

So Liu Bailong really liked this young man named Xiao Yifei. "Things always have unexpected turns," Liu Bailong said casually. Upon hearing this, Xiao Yifei leaned against the wall weakly, obviously feeling a bit down.

Liu Bailong, sensing Xiao Yifei's dejection, suddenly said to comfort him, "Aren't you trying to collect Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needles?" Sure enough, upon hearing the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needles, Xiao Yifei's cheerful voice immediately responded, "Yes, that's right, I've been collecting Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needles."

Seeing Xiao Yifei's attention diverted, Liu Bailong smiled and said, "Do you remember I once gave you a Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle?" Hearing this, Xiao Yifei recalled that his Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle was indeed given to him by Liu Bailong.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yifei couldn't help but touch his pocket, and sure enough, his Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle had been taken. He had been preoccupied with escaping these days and hadn't paid much attention to his Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle, only to realize now that it had long been taken.

"Actually, I have more than one Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle," Liu Bailong said suddenly. Hearing this, Xiao Yifei's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked Liu Bailong where the rest was. Hearing this, Liu Bailong sighed helplessly, "The rest has already been taken by someone named Ci Xin."

"I could hide them from him before, but later, somehow he found out, and my Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needles were taken by him just like that," Liu Bailong's tone carried some resentment. Hearing all this, Xiao Yifei couldn't help but sigh, "Searching high and low only to find them effortlessly."

If Xiao Yifei had known earlier that Liu Bailong had more than one Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle, he would have done anything to get the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needles from Liu Bailong's hands, using all sorts of methods to coax them over. But understanding Liu Bailong's reasons for not saying it back then, Xiao Yifei realized it was understandable; after all, those items were too precious.
