The night before his wedding, Chance was too anxious to sleep. He tossed and turned, his mind racing with excitement and nervousness. As dawn broke, he found himself still wide awake. With the first light of day, he decided to get ready, pulling on his socks and heading out the door.
Just as he reached for the keys to the wedding car, Daniel caught up with him. "Chance, hold on! You're forgetting something important."
Chance looked down and realized he was still in his socks. He laughed nervously, grateful for Daniel's intervention. "Thanks, Daniel. I'd have made a great impression like this, huh?"
Once properly dressed, Chance joined the impressive convoy of Rolls-Royces that would escort him to YoYo's house. In this era, such a luxurious procession drew envious looks from everyone they passed. The streets buzzed with excitement and curiosity at the sight.
As they neared YoYo's home, Chance's anticipation grew. He couldn't wait to see his beautiful bride. He stepped out of the car, adjusted his suit, and took a deep breath to calm his nerves. His palms were sweaty with anxiety as he walked up to the door.
Just before he reached the entrance, the door swung open to reveal a scene of chaos and panic. YoYo's best friend, Grace, was the first to speak, her voice trembling. "Chance, YoYo is missing. We checked the security footage—she was taken by a man in black."
Mr. Xiang was pacing frantically, his face a mix of anger and fear. "How could this happen? Who would do such a thing?"
Chance's heart plummeted. The joy and anticipation he had felt moments before were replaced by a cold wave of dread. "What do you mean she's missing?" he asked, trying to keep his voice steady.
Grace handed him a tablet showing the footage. It was clear: a masked man in black had grabbed YoYo and forced her into a van. The timestamp showed it had happened just hours earlier.
"We've already called the police," Mr. Xiang said, his voice breaking. "But they haven't found anything yet."
Chance clenched his fists, his mind racing. "We can't just sit here and wait. We need to do something."
Daniel, who had followed him into the house, placed a reassuring hand on Chance's shoulder. "We'll find her, Chance. I promise."
The house, once filled with excitement and anticipation for the wedding, was now overshadowed by a cloud of fear and uncertainty. Chance took a deep breath, his resolve hardening. He wouldn't rest until YoYo was safely back in his arms.
"Let's organize a search party," he said, his voice firm. "We'll start by canvassing the area around where she was taken. We need to act fast."
Mr. Xiang nodded, his earlier panic giving way to determination. "I'll coordinate with the police and see if we can get more resources on this."
Grace wiped away her tears and stood up straight. "I'll call everyone I know. We'll spread the word and get as many people looking for her as possible."
As everyone sprang into action, Chance felt a surge of hope. Despite the dire situation, he knew he wasn't alone in this. With the support of YoYo's family and friends, he was determined to bring her back and make their wedding day a reality, no matter what it took
