As soon as Jiang Wuyuan and his two companions rushed back to the capital, the military immediately arranged for personnel to begin producing methamphetamine.
"As for the Huo family boy, I'll arrange for someone to go with you then." Lu Xingchuan smiled at Jiang Wuyuan, his saintly aura completely concealed, making him feel no pressure whatsoever.
"Thank you, General Lu."
"No need to thank me. You helped bring back a lot of Longtan Ice Fruit this time. We should be thanking you."
Jiang Wuyuan had no way to refute it.
That very night, Jiang Wuyuan obtained the freshly produced methamphetamine and once again boarded Zhan Buhui's transport plane to return to Zhantian Academy.
He was accompanied by a woman dressed in white.
The woman wore a white veil, and her eyes were bright and far-reaching, giving her a serene and beautiful appearance.
"This is Fu Xiangzhi, a famous talented woman in the capital," Zhan Buhui introduced to Jiang Wuyuan. "She was also sent by General Lu to help you seal the Gu poison in Huo Ling. Don't worry, she's very capable."
"Hello, Jiang." Fu Xiangzhi smiled at Jiang Wuyuan.
"Hello, thank you for your help this time."
Fu Xiangzhi nodded without saying anything more.
They traveled in silence and soon arrived at the gate of Zhan Tian Academy.
Zhan Buhui stopped the transport plane here.
"Generally, no one is allowed to enter Zhan Tian Academy except for internal staff, but I have already applied to Vice Principal Ruan, so Miss Fu can go in with you."
I'll wait for you here. After this is over, I'll pick Miss Fu up and take her back to the capital.
Jiang Wuyuan nodded in understanding and quickly led Fu Xiangzhi to Huo Ling's residence.
"Huo Ling." Jiang Wuyuan scanned his fingerprint and pushed open the door.
However, the entire villa appeared empty and deserted, as if no one was there.
A bad premonition instantly welled up in Jiang Wuyuan's heart.
Remembering Lu Xingchuan's earlier words that he had instructed Ruan Yanqing to keep an eye on Huo Ling, Jiang Wuyuan quickly found Ruan Yanqing's contact information.
Principal Ruan, do you know where Huo Ling is now?
On the other side, Ruan Yanqing, who was in a meeting, noticed his bracelet vibrating slightly. He glanced at it discreetly.
It was a message from Jiang Wuyuan.
He frowned upon seeing the content.
[Isn't he in his dorm? I haven't heard from him leaving school these past few days.]
Ruan Yanqing certainly took good care of Huo Ling.
However, he happened to be away from Zhan Tian Academy for the past two days because the top officials of various universities were gathered to discuss the national competition. Therefore, he arranged for someone else to keep an eye on Huo Ling.
During this time, he received no message from that person.
Just then, Ruan Yanqing raised his hand to signal to the people in the meeting that he was going out to make a phone call, and then got up and walked out of the meeting room.
"Huo Ling isn't in the dorm. Where's the person I asked you to keep an eye on?"
"Sir, I really didn't see Huo Ling leave the villa." The person on the other end of the phone sounded a little anxious. "I've been keeping an eye on all the entrances and exits. But the dormitories in the villa area are all protected, and my abilities aren't enough to find out what's going on inside."
Ruan Yanqing rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on.
He assigned a martial emperor to keep an eye on Huo Ling, but unexpectedly, he still managed to lose sight of him.
"Keep an eye on Jiang Wuyuan now, and don't let him do anything foolish."
With Ruan Yanqing's experience, she certainly knew that the current situation was probably the last thing anyone wanted to happen, and it had already happened.
After hanging up with her subordinate, Ruan Yanqing immediately dialed Jiang Wuyuan's number.
"Xiao Yuan, where are you?"
"In Huo Ling's dormitory. Principal Ruan, have you found him?" Jiang Wuyuan asked in a low voice.
Ruan Yanqing carefully chose her words: "I'll rush back right away. You stay there and wait for me."
Jiang Wuyuan suddenly clenched his fist: "You mean, Huo Ling isn't at the academy?"
Ruan Yanqing didn't know how to answer. After a long while, she could only reply gently and guiltily, "I'm sorry, I didn't keep a good eye on him."
Jiang Wuyuan closed his eyes, suppressing the uncontrollable emotions in them: "It's not your fault."
Everything was the result of Jiang Wuyuan and the Huo family's karma, and had nothing to do with anyone else.
"I will immediately arrange for people to search for Huo Ling, don't worry," Ruan Yanqing reassured softly.
Jiang Wuyuan nodded, watching as Ruan Kongyin hung up the call.
"Your friend ran away?" Fu Xiangzhi turned his head slightly to look at the boy beside him.
Jiang Wuyuan pursed his lips, not answering immediately, but instead found Huo Ling's contact information in his bracelet and made a call.
You have not added this person as a friend and cannot communicate with them.
What? !
Jiang Wuyuan's usual calm demeanor almost completely vanished. He stared in disbelief at the notification that popped up on his bracelet, feeling a chill run down his spine.
Was he still... too late?
Seeing the boy's expression, Fu Xiangzhi didn't know what to say.
She was involved in almost the entire process, starting from the military's research on Gu poison.
Naturally, they also knew about how Jiang Wuyuan had traveled day and night with Major Zhan to the icy land to obtain the Dragon Pool Ice Fruit a few days ago.
The dangers and hardships involved are beyond what outsiders can understand.
Unfortunately... all these efforts seem to have come to naught.
Jiang Wuyuan didn't want to sit idly by and wait for his death, but he didn't know what else he could do.
He couldn't get in touch with Huo Ling, and he didn't know the location of Night Owl.
Running around aimlessly like a headless fly looking for someone is a waste of time, and Jiang Wuyuan felt that such behavior had no other purpose.
"What do you plan to do now?" Fu Xiangzhi felt that he had probably made a wasted trip, but he didn't complain.
"Wait for the vice principal to return," Jiang Wuyuan said in a low, hoarse voice.
Fu Xiangzhi remained silent for a moment, choosing not to leave immediately.
