Wang Qiwen's questions gradually calmed Farin down, and she began to continue her story.
“My husband’s schedule for tracking Samantha is not fixed. Sometimes it’s during the day, sometimes at night, and sometimes it’s even all day. He’s been tracking her for almost a month now. A couple of days ago, he complained to me that he hadn’t found anything of value. If it weren’t for the reward he gets for each piece of information he sends back, he would have quit long ago…”
“He left home at four o’clock yesterday afternoon to track and investigate Samantha. My partner and I have an agreement that he will tell me where he goes when he goes on a mission, so I know that he went to one of Samantha’s private houses on the outskirts of the base city this time.”
“He messaged me at 7 o’clock. Normally, he would message me again at 10 o’clock at night, but I didn’t receive a message from him. I initially thought he was just busy with work. But he still didn’t message me by morning, so I started to get worried. I tried to contact him, but I couldn’t reach him, which is why I came to you for help.”
Lu Ning and Wang Qiwen listened quietly to what Farin had to say.
Lu Ning asked, "Do you know the exact location of Samantha's private residence?"
“I know, my lover told me before he left. It’s apartment 503, building 4, Anna Community, Wuyun Road, in the seventh district,” Farin said.
Wang Qiwen immediately stood up, his face beaming with delight, and said, "Lu Ning, let's go! Let Lao Qin and the others take the night watch, and the two of us will set off."
Lu Ning glanced at the equally excited Wang Qiwen and said, "Contact the captain first."
Wang Qiwen frowned and said, "The captains are on a mission. Won't this affect them?"
Lu Ning shook his head and said, "The captain and vice-captain are both there, so there shouldn't be any major problems. This matter involves Samantha, so the captain should know."
Wang Qiwen said somewhat dejectedly, "Won't that mean we'll waste a lot of time? Won't we miss the opportunity?"
Lu Ning calmly said, "Based on the previous clues, there might be danger this time as well. I don't care, anyway, I won't die."
Wang Qiwen: "..."
He paused for a moment, then said with a serious expression, "Lu Ning, I think you're right, we really need to contact the captain!"
Farin, standing to the side, looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression.
"Sirs, do you know who this Samantha is? Why is she in danger? Will my husband be alright?" She looked extremely anxious.
Lu Ning looked at her, thought for a moment, and comforted her, "Don't worry too much. If he dies, we will try our best to bring his body back intact."
Upon hearing this, Farin's eyes immediately welled up with tears.
Wang Qiwen glared at Lu Ning with a black line on his forehead and said in a low voice, "...If you can't speak properly, then don't speak!"
Lu Ning glanced at Wang Qiwen with a puzzled look, but didn't say anything more.
Wang Qiwen smiled at Falin and said, "Don't worry, ma'am, as long as your lover isn't dead, we'll find a way to bring him back."
"Thank you! Thank you so much!" Farin bowed repeatedly.
Lu Ning had already dialed Lin Xiao's number.
The call went unanswered after being dialed once, and Lu Ning raised an eyebrow.
Wang Qiwen, who was standing nearby, spoke up: "Could it be that something went wrong over there?"
"have no idea."
Just as Lu Ning was about to dial again, his phone rang.
It was Lin Xiao calling.
As soon as Lu Ning answered the phone, Lin Xiao's cheerful voice came through: "Hello? Lu Ning, what's up? I just finished here."
Lu Ning could hear Colin and Qiu Yuelin laughing and talking on the other end of the phone.
"Here's the thing, someone reported that a second-tier awakened individual who was investigating Samantha has gone missing."
"What? Samantha?" Lin Xiao's voice turned serious. "Is the information accurate?"
"Okay, we know the exact location now. Captain, would you like to go take a look?"
Lin Xiao immediately replied, "Of course we should go and take a look!"
He paused for a moment, then said, "Here's what we'll do. You have Wang Qiwen stay at the branch and wait for us there. I'll have Xiaolin go back too, and then we'll go with Colin and Wei Xuan. By the way, where is that location?"
“It’s in the seventh district, in apartment 503, building 4 of Anna’s Community on Wuyun Road.”
"That place isn't far from here. We should be able to get there faster than you. You'd better hurry."
"Okay, I'll take a taxi over."
"...I'd forgotten all about it. I told you to take your driver's license test when you get back! Take it when you get back!"
"Okay." Lu Ning hung up the phone and turned to look at Wang Qiwen beside her.
Wang Qiwen had already stood up, ready to leave, his expression blank.
Lu Ning said, "You heard it too."
Wang Qiwen's expression twisted: "Damn... no way? They won't let me go? Why?!"
Lu Ning thought for a moment and said seriously, "Perhaps it's because your strength is relatively low?"
Wang Qiwen: "???"
He looked indignant: "My strength is low?! How am I low?!"
Wang Qiwen thought of Lin Xiao and Colin, then looked at Lu Ning, and finally, after hesitating for a long time, he said, "I'm definitely better than Wei Xuan, right?!"
"Then I don't know."
Wang Qiwen slumped back into his seat indignantly and stopped talking.
Lu Ning said, "Then I'll be going now."
Seeing that Wang Qiwen was depressed and didn't say anything, Lu Ning turned and left.
After leaving the branch, Lu Ning hailed a taxi and headed towards his destination.
The Seventh District is quite large, but fortunately, the branch is located in the center of the Seventh District.
This is also to facilitate rapid support in the event of a disease outbreak.
Therefore, Anna's residential area on Wuyun Road is not far away; it only takes about ten minutes to reach the destination.
