Chapter 208 The City Lord is Missing
Xiao Xun walked downstairs quickly. After going down the stairs, he looked at Ye Li reluctantly. Ye Li smiled and shook his hand, reached out to close the stairs to the balcony, and then went into the house to sleep.
Xiao Xun strode towards his tree house. Thinking of the suffering Ye Li had endured, he felt depressed, as if a stone was pressing on his heart.
If he had not left to send a distress signal, but waited for Ye Li to wake up before leaving, things would not have turned out like this, and Ye Li would not have suffered so much.
"City Lord, City Lord." Chong Ling suddenly jumped out from the darkness, and her boyfriend Zheng Tianning followed behind her.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Xun's face was grim and his brows were slightly furrowed.
Chong Ling held something in his hand and handed it to Xiao Xun: "Hurry up and look at this. The news of your disappearance has spread throughout the Holy City."
Chong Ling handed over a mobile phone that was only available in the Holy City. The mobile phone signal was provided directly by the Holy City’s satellite. The signal distribution was relatively wide, and the forest tribe happened to be within the signal range, so they could naturally receive the information.
Xiao Xun took it and took a look. It was a news report published by the Holy City Sun. The report boldly disclosed the disappearance of City Lord Xiao Xun and listed various pieces of evidence.
For a while, the internet inside the Holy City was in chaos, and rumors about the Lord of the Holy City were everywhere.
For example, he is terminally ill, dead or dying.
And he was held hostage by the enemy, etc...
What's even more outrageous is that City Lord Xiao Xun was murdered.
"City Lord, are you going back?" Chong Ling looked at Xiao Xun's expression and said, "Without you staying in the Holy City, the Holy City will be in chaos."
Zheng Tianning said, "Lord City Lord, you should go back. You are the City Lord, unlike us. We are just ordinary people with no responsibilities. You are the Lord of the Holy City, and the people of the Holy City are waiting for you to return to lead and protect them. You can't continue to act so willfully."
Chong Ling nudged Zheng Tianning with her elbow and said with a smile, "Actually, City Lord, you can go back for a few days, show up in public, stabilize the situation in the Holy City, and then disappear again."
Xiao Xun pondered and said nothing.
Chong Ling added, "As for Ye Li, I will definitely keep an eye on her and will not let anyone take her away."
Xiao Xun reached out to Chong Ling and took the phone from her hand. He said, "Lend me this for a while."
"Hey, my phone is running low on battery, and I still have to watch a show tonight." Chong Ling wanted to grab it, but was scared back by Xiao Xun's cold look.
Looking at Xiao Xun's departing back, Chong Ling whispered, "Remember to return it to me!"
Xiao Xun took his cell phone and returned to his tree house. He lived alone in a room. He lay down on the bed, opened his cell phone, and started logging into his account to contact Wang Lun and the others.
Holy City's mobile phones must be logged in with a personal username and password to be used.
Xiao Xun sent a message to Wang Lun to find out the situation.
Wang Lun, who was desperately trying to track down his master's whereabouts, suddenly received a message from Xiao Xun. He was so happy that he almost jumped up. He immediately connected to Xiao Xun's video.
In the video, the city lord is lying on the bed. The room is bright and it seems that he is living a good life.
"City Lord, where are you now?"
Xiao Xun didn't answer his question, but asked directly: "I saw the news. What happened in the Holy City?"
Wang Lun immediately said, "It was Priest Bai. He insisted on breaking into the ward, saying he wanted to check on you. We couldn't stop him, and he found out, so the news of your disappearance spread."
Xiao Xun sneered twice. Just as he thought, Bai Ze was a man who would not give up. He had not touched him because he was partly responsible for his sister's death. He did not expect that he would cause trouble again.
"City Lord, are you coming back?" Wang Lun asked in the video. Suddenly, other people's voices were heard in the video. "Is this my brother's call?" Xiao Ruo's voice came from the video. Then, the phone was snatched away by Xiao Ruo, and Xiao Ruo's face appeared in the video.
Xiao Ruo said anxiously: "Brother, where have you been? There is no news at all. I am worried to death."
Happy New Year everyone! Let's leave the unhappy things in 2018. In 2019, we will continue to work hard, make progress, and live happily every day!
