Duan Cheng quickly knelt down, his knees slamming heavily on the hard ground with a thud. His face was filled with fear, and his voice trembled, "General, please understand! I am incompetent, but please give me one day and I will find the person!"

"Incompetent? You are not worthy of talking about incompetence." Shen Yuhan's voice was low and suppressed, but every word seemed to hit Duan Cheng's heart.

At this moment, a soldier hurried in from outside the hall, his face filled with anxiety. He knelt at the door and reported, "General, news has come from the post station outside the city that a merchant caravan departed from the south gate last night, possibly heading for a remote town on the border. I suspect they're carrying a foreign woman..."

"Caravan?" Shen Yuhan's brows moved slightly, his eyes narrowed, and he looked thoughtful.

Upon hearing this clue, Duan Cheng quickly turned to Shen Yuhan and assured him, "General, I will immediately send people to track down that caravan and expand the search area to include all surrounding towns. I will definitely live up to your trust!"

Shen Yuhan had a sinister look on his face, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

He said no more, just nodded coldly, turned around and walked back to the chair in the lobby, sat down again, his fingers still tapping lightly on the table.

Although his face had returned to calm at this moment, the oppressive atmosphere made everyone feel cold.

On the other side, Fang Qingyue coldly watched He Zhixian's men gradually approaching, and the anger in her heart was like a suppressed volcano.

Seeing that she was still so unruly, County Magistrate He became more and more impatient. The fake smile on his face completely disappeared, replaced by a greedy grin.

He waved his hand and ordered, "Stop talking nonsense and tie her up! I want to see how long this little bitch can keep up her arrogance!"
