Chapter 1072: Chapter 723: You’re Here (1)

The antidote for the epidemic had been developed, and Mu Lin believed there was no need for her anymore, so she quickly set off for her next mission.

Now, she had only one goal, which was to resolve the matter as soon as possible and then return to B City.

Three days later, B City was in chaos, or perhaps it should be said, in internal turmoil, and where were Mu Lin and Jing Chen at this time?

"Have you found them?" The elder looked anxiously at the newcomer, his face showing complete agitation.

The person who arrived shook their head, "We haven’t found them." Their eyes could not hide the worry and guilt.

"What are we to do? Now that Linlin and Xiaochen are both absent, if something really happens to him, our entire organization will truly descend into chaos." Familiar unrest sometimes triggers immensely powerful consequences.

"Jing elder, don’t panic. I believe our old friend has his own lucky stars. He won’t meet with misfortune so easily." How could he possibly run into trouble?

Though he said this, his expression remained troubled; it was uncertain if Xue elder’s words were to comfort Jing elder or himself.

They could never have imagined that those people would make their move at this time, and their goal was to kidnap the elderly patriarch, which was somewhat different from their original expectations.

But now was not the time to speak of such matters.

A day had passed since the elder’s disappearance, and they still had no clues at all.

Jing elder looked at Xue elder, "What if we deploy all the people around us, how about that?" Those close to them were mostly elites who could be dispatched more conveniently, and those assigned to their side were generally comrades who knew some internal information, so there was no fear of the matter being leaked.

"Absolutely not!" However, before Xue elder could reply, Zhan Zhong immediately rejected the idea without hesitation, "The elder once said, no matter what, you two cannot run into trouble again. We really don’t know their intentions now, and if this is what they’re after, then it really is the end of the road."

"With the elder in trouble, there are still you, Jing elder, and Xue elder here to keep things in check. If you encounter any problems, our internal situation will truly become chaotic! It will really be a disaster then." He was anxious, but the most important thing now was to find the elder as soon as possible; otherwise, it would be very difficult to keep the matter under wraps, especially since they had no idea what those people’s objectives were. If possible, he even wished that those people would come forward with threats, so at least they could clarify their intentions and come up with a solution.

The two elders looked at each other.

It was easy to say, but!

"Don’t worry, you two elders. I’ve already arranged for a large number of people to search in secret. I believe we’ll have a conclusion soon." Hopefully.

He really wasn’t very confident at the moment; as for the Jian Family, he had already deployed enough people to surveil them from the sidelines.

In fact, they knew clearly who was involved in this matter without needing to think too much.

"I’m wondering whether to inform Xiaochen and Linlin about this?" Although they had enough manpower, such matters were not suitable to be known by too many people, and Mu Lin and Jing Chen were their most trusted individuals.

Capable and resourceful, it was just unfortunate they were not present.

Now they finally understood why there were matters involving F Country, all for the sake of the current situation.

Utterly despicable.

Yet, Zhan Zhong slowly shook his head, "There’s no way to contact them, Linlin’s mobile phone and signals near them have been blocked and monitored, and I think since those people have already gone to such lengths, it won’t be simple for Linlin and the others to rush back from F Country."

So, in the end, they had to rely on themselves.

Listening to Zhan Zhong’s words, the two elders contemplated; indeed, thinking of Mu Lin and Jing Chen now seemed somewhat unrealistic, as they had been under far more pressure than anyone else these past few years.

The ability of Mu Lin and Jing Chen often made people forget that they were just ordinary people; Mu Lin was now just a girl in her early twenties. While other girls at this age were just falling in love, working, and being pampered, she and Jing Chen had almost taken on too much on their shoulders.

Sometimes, these two children made the elders’ hearts ache.

He sighed softly.

"Jing elder, Xue elder, I’ll head down first." He still had to continue searching; even if he had to turn B City inside out, he had to find the elder as quickly as possible.

"Go ahead." The two elders nodded, sighed, and sat on the couch, feeling somewhat tired.

It had only been one day, yet they felt somewhat weary.

Indeed, these old folks were not cut out for the front stage. The matters of the front stage should be left to the younger ones; it was indeed quite heart-wrenching.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

The night had gradually descended, and the sunset outside the window emanated a bloody red color, dazzling yet incredibly beautiful. However, this beauty seemed bloodthirsty, filled with cruelty and danger.

Just like the man standing in front of the glass at this moment, he was clearly smiling, but you couldn’t feel any hint of kindness emanating from him.

"Today’s sunset is really red." So dazzlingly red, it made his heart quiver uncontrollably.

The man’s smile was abnormally profound.

At that moment, a knock on the door was heard.

"Come in," a languid voice with a magnetic undertone called to the person outside, "Please, come in." The door opened, the attendant took a slight step back to allow the newcomer into the room, then closed the door and turned to leave.

Ever since Wu Qian was no longer around, this man had been assigned to take his place. Every action had to be executed with utmost precision; he was well aware that there were some places and times where he had no place setting foot.

"Today’s sunset was indeed quite nice. Mr. Bi’an really does have considerable leisure to enjoy such things, enviable indeed," the elder remarked, looking towards the man by the window and arching his slightly white eyebrows.

With a slight smile and then turning around, Bi’an looked at the person in front of him indifferently, "Just stealing a moment of leisure amidst the busyness." He believed that the person before him knew better than himself whether he had been free or busy lately.

He gestured for the guest to take a seat, casually picked up two bottles of water from the table, and offered, "I don’t have any fine tea to offer, just this. Would you like some?"

The visitor lifted the corners of his mouth, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do."

Bi’an sat down across from the visitor, placing the water before him, and leaned back slightly. His elongated eyes appeared to carry a hint of amusement, "I didn’t expect Elder Jian to arrive so quickly." It seemed he was much more anxious than Bi’an had expected.

As it turned out, the person sitting before Bi’an was none other than a member of the Jian family, one of the several major families in B City. Elder Jian himself and his son, Jian Zhenzhong, were also present. Jian Zhenzhong was the father of the foolish woman, Jian Yan, who had previously thought she could harm Mu Lin.

This family really was anything but idle, always self-righteously causing trouble for others.

Elder Jian harrumphed, "If we don’t come soon, once those two return from F Country, it won’t be within our power to control things anymore. I believe Mr. Bi’an is quite aware of this." It seemed he still held a grudge for Bi’an’s previous two blunders.

In fact, Elder Jian harbored doubts about Mi Zheng’s intentions. He suspected whether he really acted according to his wishes, as his demeanor had never been particularly pleasant before him.

"Indeed, I am deeply aware," retorted Bi’an, not at all minding the other’s attitude, merely gazing at Elder Jian with a laid-back look, "I believe you, Elder Jian, must share the same feelings." That smile, neither fully displayed nor completely hidden, held profound depths.

Elder Jian pursed his lips, staying silent.

He wasn’t unaware of how detestable the man before him could be. Arguing with him would probably leave him dead from annoyance!

Elder Jian let out a cold snort, no longer bothering with pleasantries, "Where is he?"

The person he was asking about was...

Getting up leisurely, Bi’an said, "Come with me," and with the end of his sentence, he had already stepped out. The Jian father and son hurriedly followed.

Leaving the room, they arrived at the elevator and descended two floors. Stepping out, they paused before a door, "He’s inside." Bi’an assured them the man had been well looked after, "The soundproofing on this floor is quite good. Besides that room, there’s no one else. I think you can have a very pleasant chat."

He pulled out a card key from his pocket, handed it over, then spun around and left with a carefree air.

His task was completed; the rest was none of his concern.

These tedious affairs were something he had no interest in partaking.

A relaxed smile played on the corners of his mouth.

Linlin, I wonder where you are at this moment. It looks like this time, it’s me who has won over you.

Thinking this, his mood inexplicably improved.

Of course, he hoped he could continue to feel this pleased.

"Father," Jian Zhenzhong stood in front of the door, holding the card key.

"Open the door," Elder Jian commanded, his voice calm, but upon closer listening, one could discern the undertones of tension, triumph, and a hint of hollow emotion.

"Yes," Jian Zhenzhong nodded, opening the door.

It was a duplex suite. As the two entered, they saw a man sitting not far in the direction, seemingly calm, as if waiting for them.

"You’ve arrived."

Looking at the elder in the distance, one might never guess that Bi’an had hidden an old man in such a place; the Royal Palace, the largest entertainment complex in B City.

The most dangerous place is perhaps always the safest. Now, it’s unlikely that anyone in B City would think that he had hidden the elder here; even if they did, they probably wouldn’t dare to search openly.

After all, they love to operate in the shadows so much! Heh...

Bi’an had once wondered if Mu Lin would be able to guess this place.

Perhaps she had already guessed, but unfortunately, she was not in downtown B City.

Really! Not in B City?
