“I plan to activate Shen Qing,” Xiao Yichen declared. This statement wasn’t open for discussion with Luo Zishen and Luo Ziyan. It was a decision he made himself.

While Luo Zishen and Luo Ziyan were still processing the information, Xiao Yichen had already pulled out his phone and dialed the only hidden number in his contact list.

Once Luo Ziyan regained his composure, he noticed Xiao Yichen about to place the phone to his ear. Upon reacting swiftly, he stood up and reached Xiao Yichen’s side in two seconds, attempting to snatch the phone from him.

“Yichen, you’re being irrational. Activating Shen Qing will only attract more enemies in the future,” Luo Ziyan protested, indifferent to the potential repercussions on Xiao Yichen’s emotions. His primary concern was safeguarding him.

“I don’t care.” Xiao Yichen stared at Luo Ziyan with fierce determination.

Even if activating Shen Qing meant accumulating adversaries, he was willing to pay any price to find that infuriating woman.

“You may not care, but I do.” The confrontation between Luo Ziyan and Xiao Yichen unfolded. Despite being best friends, their perspectives differed. Luo Ziyan prioritized Xiao Yichen’s life over his dedication to a woman.

Suddenly, Xiao Yichen stood up, forcefully reclaiming his phone from Luo Ziyan’s grasp. Fueled by anger, his eyes reddened as he glared at Luo Ziyan. “Luo Ziyan, can you change my decision?”

Confronted with Xiao Yichen’s intimidating expression, Luo Ziyan dared not speak.

The answer was clear, evident to both Luo Ziyan and Luo Zishen.

He couldn’t alter Xiao Yichen’s resolution, and neither could Luo Zishen.

Xiao Yichen picked up his phone again, confirming the call had connected. Upon placing the phone to his ear, he bellowed, “Shen Qing.”

“Yes, Mr. Xiao,” a female voice responded from the other end.

“Activate everyone. Search the entire city for Lin Wan and Lu Hao,” Xiao Yichen commanded. Upon concluding, he added, “Within three hours.”

“Okay,” the voice on the other end acknowledged.

Xiao Yichen ended the call.

Upon observing the call’s conclusion, Luo Zishen remarked, “Yichen, you’re putting yourself at risk.”

Shen Qing was a clandestine organization Xiao Yichen had cultivated since assuming control of the Eastern Empire. However, knowledge of their existence extended beyond Xiao Hairong. A few foreign assassin organizations also monitored Shen Qing.

If Shen Qing and its operatives were exposed during a mission, Xiao Hairong and foreign assassin organizations would target Shen Qing to retaliate against Xiao Yichen.

Xiao Yichen remained silent. Upon meeting Luo Zishen’s gaze and stating solemnly, “Zishen, if there’s no news of Lin Wan within three hours, I will suffocate.”

She was already a persistent thought in his mind. Without any updates on Lin Wan, he felt an impending sense of suffocation due to the uncertainty.

Because she was his lifeline.

Following an extensive search that yielded no results. No news of Lin Wan, no sign from Zishen or Ziyan, and no information from You Luan’s dispatched team. Xiao Yichen’s only recourse was to activate Shen Qing.

As Xiao Yichen voiced his decision, both Luo Zishen and Luo Ziyan understood the profound importance of Lin Wan to him.

Lengthy anticipation marked the subsequent period. Seated in the private room, the trio refrained from speaking, awaiting Shen Qing’s findings.

Two hours later, when You Luan and Shen Qing entered the private room, Xiao Yichen’s first query was directed at Shen Qing, “Where is she?”
