Tao Mo immediately reported the disappearance to the police, and they quickly arrived. Not long after the first group of officers got there, just as they had started asking about the time of Tao Ti's disappearance and what she looked like, another group of officers showed up.
Officer A: "Why did you guys come?"
Officer B: "We received a different case from yours. There will be special forces arriving soon."
Officer Ding, who was on good terms with Officer A, leaned in and whispered to him: this and that, thus and so.
Officer A was taken aback: "You're saying those people are in the center of the forest? But it seems the child might have also gone in that direction. Could it be..." taken hostage?
Officer A didn't dare to think further, the very thought was chilling.
Officer B let out a sigh and said in a low voice, "You go calm her family members first. We are here to clear the area. You need to find a way to get them out of here."
