Where exactly did the problem arise?
Phoenix was also filled with anxiety and asked aloud, "Where is Sister Xin Huai? Where is she?"
She had already confirmed over the phone that Sheng Xinhuai was alright and had breathed a sigh of relief.
But upon arriving, she didn’t see Sheng Xinhuai and couldn’t help but worry again.
"She’s in the car." Tang Fei pointed to the tall door of the Octopus Car and said, "She’s sleeping inside."
To make Sheng Xinhuai more comfortable, he had folded down the passenger seat to turn it into a makeshift single bed.
So, from standing on the ground, you couldn’t see her.
Phoenix immediately ran over to check on Sheng Xinhuai while Chen Fenglei also wanted to follow.
Tang Fei grabbed Chen Fenglei and said aloud, "The ones who hijacked us were Mo Fan and Xie Pianxian... I chopped off Mo Fan’s head with a slash, and Xie Pianxian was stabbed by my sword and then jumped into the garbage dump below to escape."
Chen Fenglei understood Tang Fei’s meaning, waved his hand, and ordered, "Zheng Yaqi, lead your squad to search below... Alive, we want to see the person; dead, we want to see the body."
"Yes." Zheng Yaqi responded and led a dozen team members jumping down toward the cliff.
They all wore Flying Boots, so such a height was not a problem for them at all.
"Captain Tang, shall we head back?" Chen Fenglei smiled at Tang Fei and said, "The King and the Finance Minister are waiting in the palace."
"Let’s go back," Tang Fei said.
Chen Fenglei grabbed Tang Fei’s hand, pleading, "Captain Tang, after we go back... Please say a few good words for me. I, Lao Chen, will be greatly thankful in the future."
"Of course," Tang Fei said sincerely. "Manager Chen charged forward, fought against a hundred alone, and helped me repel the strong enemy..."
"That’s too much," Chen Fenglei waved his hand and said, "Just say I did my best."
"Alright, as Manager Chen wishes."
Luojia Mountain. The Shen Family’s old residence.
Shen Xinglan walked to the Observatory, bowed slightly, and said, "Grandpa, did you want to see me?"
"Yes, I wanted you to come over for some tea, and a chat, and to also enjoy this lovely spring," Shen Boyu gestured toward the bamboo forest in front of them and the vibrant Luojia Mountain and said, "You lock yourself up all day in your room; aren’t you afraid of stifling yourself?"
"I’m just contemplating some issues," Shen Xinglan replied gently.
"I know, you’ve just entered the Grandmaster Realm and find everything fascinating. But you must understand the importance of balancing work and rest..." Shen Boyu gestured invitingly and said, "Come, try the pine needle tea I made... I used ’rootless’ water for brewing; it’s especially clear, refreshing, and sweet."
Shen Xinglan smiled, sat down in front of Shen Boyu, and slowly sipped the tea he offered.
Shen Boyu gazed at the increasingly stable and composed young man before him, feeling gratified, and asked, "Have you heard? Tang Fei and Sheng Xinhuai were abducted... The entire Phoenix City has been stirred."
"Really?" Shen Xinglan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Who did it?"
"There’s no conclusion yet," Shen Boyu said. "I’ve already sent people to investigate."
Shen Xinglan looked at the old man in front of him, pondering all the possibilities.
Noticing his gaze, Shen Boyu cursed in frustration, "You little rascal, do you suspect that I did it?"
"Why not?" Shen Xinglan, holding his teacup, countered.

You heartless men and women.)
