Xiang Yang was missing. She shouldâve returned to the army to meet with Shi Nian after she left the hospital. However, Xiang Yang didnât return.
Shi Nian thought Xiang Yang wanted to spend more time with Shi Ke. He was too focused on other things, so he didnât pay this matter attention, whereas Yun Nan thought Xiang Yang hadnât contacted her after she left because she was too busy dealing with things on the army side with Shi Nian. Shi Ke had gone through a second operation and was in a semi-conscious state. For everyoneâs safety, he no longer contacted Xiang Yang directly.
By the time Yun Nan and Shi Nian realized the issue, Xiang Yang had already been missing for more than 48 hours. Yun Nan blacked out for a second when she found out and quickly reached out to support herself with the desk.
âAre you alright?â Chang Yuan asked worriedly. Yun Nan shook her head and sat in her chair. She closed her eyes and calmed herself down. âIâve got to keep it together. Iâm still on an encrypted call with Shi Nian.â
âYun Nan? Whatâs wrong? Are you alright?â Shi Nian anxiously inquired.
Yun Nan calmly reassured him, âIâm fine. Donât worry, Shi Nian.â She turned to Chang Yuan and instructed, âChang Yuan, check all the surveillance cameras you can, from the moment Xiang Yang left the hospital. I donât care what method or how much manpower we use; we have to find out where Xiang Yang disappeared! â
Chang Yuan nodded. âOkay! Leave it to me!â
âShi Nian, Chang Yuan and I will handle Xiang Yangâs matter. Right now, you need to put all your effort into settling Big Brotherâs matter in the army. The chances of something happening increase the longer you delay it,â Yun Nan level-headedly stated.
Shi Nian said, âI can send half of Big Brotherâs team over to youâIâ
âNo!â Yun Nan cut him off. âShi Nian, you mustnât act rashly. We have no idea what happened to Xiang Yang. If you rush into things and alarm the people over at your end, not only will it not help anything, but it might also affect your plan there. Right now, we can only grit our teeth and keep things secure at your end first,â Yun Nan insisted.
She took a deep breath. âDonât worry, Shi Nian. Iâll definitely find Xiang Yang! Definitely! â
Yun Nan forced herself to calm down after she ended the call. âXiang Yang has been missing for more than 48 hours. Ifsomeone kidnapped her for money, why hasnât anyone called to ask for a ransom or make demands? Thereâs no doubt that Xiang Yang is the Shi familyâs weakness; the kidnappers could use her to threaten anyone in the Shi family. If theVre staying quiet right now, it means that itâs not yet the time.â
â They want to wait until the very last moment and use Xiang Yang to threaten Shi Ke or me, so I have to hurry up and find Xiang Yang! I canât let them succeed! But I also have to ensure Xiang Yangs safety!â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
That was Yun Nanâs goal; if she wanted to achieve it, she had to figure out a plan to find and rescue Xiang Yang. However, she doesnât even have a single clue to start with right now!
Yun Nan bit her lip, picked up her phone, and began making calls.
Shi Nian turned off the communication device, closed his eyes, and breathed deeply. â Yun Nanâs right. I have to remain calm right now and get this over with quickly. Only by settling Big Brothers matter here first, can I rush back to Yun Nanâs side as soon as possible.â
There was a social gathering today to commend them for successfully completing their mission last time; it was an utmost honor. To them, as soldiers, completing a mission was their duty and not something that needed celebrating. However, the higher-ups had âwell-intentionallyâ arranged such a grand event.
Shi Keâs men were all on alert as they surrounded Shi Nian.
They usually referred to each other by their code names, like they did in missions. âD*mn it!â Dragon cursed softly. âIâm not even this nervous during assassination missions.â
White Tiger shared the same sentiment. âThis kind of thing really doesnât suit me. Iâd rather go on an assassination mission! Boss, weâre all counting on you!â
âRelax,â Shi Nian said composedly. âDonât be nervous. Think of it this way: Your seniors are worried about your marriage prospects and want to introduce girls to you guys. Shouldnât you guys be happy?
Dragon and White Tiger looked at each other and scratched their noses in unison. âTch! Whatâs there to be happy about? The girls there are either unfeminine comrades-in-arms or ladies we donât see eye-to-eye with. None of them are suitable partners! None!â
Shi Nian couldnât help but laugh. âAlright, fine. Stay single, then. What am I going to do with you guys?â
Behind them, the unsmiling Gray Wolf lowered his voice and said, âThe higher-ups brought in girls from outside this time. Be careful not to run into any familiar faces, Boss. The four of us should try not to split up and cover for Boss.
Dragon and White Tiger were immediately on guard, and Shi Nian also stopped smiling. This tough battle was about to begin..
