Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash
BTW, you are not talking to Apple here (with very limited exceptions that I won't go into). For the most part, we are just users like yourself.

If you don't see your entire library after you update iTunes on your Mac or PC - Apple Support

1. I didnt move the content folder
2. Neither deleted them
3. Couldnt locate them (locate the file if you see an ex. mark...)
luckily that i have them in another drive and i was trying to drag them into itunes. Finally i got them all back and they were on my phone for awhile but then they suddenly disappeared again. The same thing again.
Then i tried the third time. Now i cant drag them into itunes anymore. It is showing me the red sign when trying to add a song.

Also recommended is keeping a solid backup of the library, e.g. Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy.
I have tools and techniques for dealing with exclamation marks, e.g. .
In practice syncing with selected playlists makes it much easier to restore the state of the device if/when something goes awry.
