不翼而飞 (bù yì ér fēi) — (of objects) to vanish without a trace; (of news, rumors) to spread like wildfire

A four-character idiom meaning something vanishes suddenly without a trace, or (for news/rumors) spreads incredibly fast. Both senses hinge on the image of 'flying without wings' — speed is the point, not the cause.
