“It’s not too late to find out now,” Bai Zhenzhen said, looking at Liu Hua. “Chief Liu, why don’t you send more people to investigate the entire city?”
Liu Hua nodded. "Yes, we need to investigate."
When Bai Zhenzhen heard that Liu Hua had taken her advice, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she started chatting with Liu Hua about other things.
Luo Yi also lowered his head and whispered to Luo Yue.
Jiang Nian'an was a little bored, so she covered her mouth and yawned.
She hadn't slept well last night, and with almost the entire day spent hiking, she was really quite tired.
"Chief Liu, we're leaving now."
Before Liu Hua could speak, Shen Nanxing got up and pulled Jiang Nian'an and Xiao Longzhan outside.
Following Shen Nanxing's words, Luo Yi also took his leave.
He wasn't interested in Bai Zhenzhen's words, which were clearly an attempt to win over Liu Hua.
Liu Hua hurriedly escorted the brother and sister to the door.
Shen Nanxing and Jiang Nian'an had already walked some distance away.
Under the moonlight, they saw Shen Nanxing carrying Jiang Nian'an steadily forward, with Xiao Longzhan following beside them.
Its two short legs flapped rapidly.
"Brother Chen~"
Jiang Nian'an gently patted Shen Nanxing's shoulder, "Walk slowly, Xiao Zhanzhan is going to fall behind."
She originally wanted Shen Nanxing to continue carrying Xiaolongzhan back, but both men were unwilling.
Shen Nanxing looked down at Xiao Longzhan, who was trying hard to catch up with him, and teased him deliberately, "Short legs~"
"You're the one with short legs!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Longzhan immediately protested, lowered his head, and charged towards Shen Nanxing like a calf.
But at the moment of impact, he suddenly stopped, grabbed Shen Nanxing's leg, and stepped on his shoe.
His sister was still on his back; if he knocked her down, she would fall down with him.
Instead, you should hold onto his legs and let him lead you.
Hmph, let him sink to death, let him work himself to death!
Xiao Longzhan's little thoughts were written all over his face.
Shen Nanxing smiled slightly and effortlessly lifted his foot to lead him forward.
"Sister An'an, wait for us!" Luo Yue's voice came from behind.
Jiang Nian'an looked back and saw Luo Yue pulling Luo Yi as they ran towards them.
"Brother Chen, let's wait for them!"
Shen Nanxing then stopped and turned to look at Luo Yi and his sister.
"Shen Nanxing, what are your plans next?"
Luo Yi walked quickly to Shen Nanxing's side and asked him in a low voice.
"I don't have any plans. After I finish this business, I'll go back to Beijing."
Shen Nanxing carried Jiang Nian'an on his back and led Xiao Longzhan along as they continued walking forward.
"Hey!" Luo Yi grabbed him. "Can't you stay and investigate this with us?"
Shen Nanxing looked down at the hand gripping his arm, his expression darkening.
Luo Yi pursed his lips, let go of her hand, and even took two steps back.
Shen Nanxing then spoke up, "I have other plans for this matter."
Luo Yi was taken aback. "Other plans? What plans? Tell me, and if they're feasible, we'll go with you!"
Shen Nanxing glanced at him. "Weren't you acting with the Bai family?"
"With the Bai family?"
Luo Yi shook his head. "We went our separate ways and didn't meet until we reached the Shanshi base."
Shen Nanxing nodded, said nothing more, and continued walking forward.
Luo Yi: ? ? ?
So, what exactly is his plan...?
Luo Yi stood there feeling depressed for a while.
Only after Shen Nanxing and the others had walked far away did he follow them with a speechless expression.
As they approached, they saw Luo Yue looking up at Jiang Nian'an with a charmingly innocent expression, saying, "Sister An'an, I want to go back to Beijing with you."
"You need to discuss this with your brother."
Jiang Nian'an turned around, pointed at Luo Yi who had caught up, and said with a smile, "My opinion doesn't count."
"Hehe, my brother listens to me~"
Luo Yue smiled even more happily, "And since Second Young Master Shen listens to Sister An'an, as long as Sister An'an agrees, I can go back to Beijing with you all~"
Upon hearing Luo Yue's words, Shen Nanxing turned and gave her an approving look. "You're right."
Luo Yue was somewhat flattered, not expecting that Shen Nanxing, who was always aloof, would take the initiative to respond to her.
She couldn't help but glance back at Luo Yi with a hint of smugness.
The Luo family had always wanted to further their relationship with the Shen family, and her brother had been working hard on Shen Nanxing, but to no avail.
In retrospect, they acted too early and misdirected their efforts.
"Sister An'an, can we go back to Beijing with you?"
Luo Yue looked up again and asked with a smile.
She and her brother have been out for a month, but most of the clues they have obtained come from the people who had previously disappeared.
They themselves gained very little.
Since that's the case, we might as well follow the Shen family's lead.
Luo Yi guessed what his younger sister meant and didn't interrupt her, only looking at Jiang Nian'an.
Jiang Nian'an's hand slid down and gently pinched Shen Nanxing's waist, asking for his opinion.
Shen Nanxing said gently, "I'll listen to you."
Jiang Nian'an nodded, "Then let's go to Beijing together!"
With Luo Yi and his sister around, the journey ahead will be safer.
"Yay!" Luo Yue gave a victory sign.
An hour later, Jiang Nian'an and Luo Yue waved goodbye in front of the villa and went back to their respective residences.
It was getting late, and the three of them, who had eaten a lot of snacks earlier, were not hungry, so they washed up and rested.
The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Shen Nanxing was awakened by a series of urgent knocks on the door.
He opened his eyes and subconsciously glanced at Xiao Longzhan beside him.
