Fade Chen spoke on the phone, "Sister Lily, don't worry. I'll leave the company’s business matters to you. I'll contact Quin immediately and ask her what's going on. If I can't get her, I'll personally make a trip to Long City."
"Okay, thank you. I'll leave this matter to you," Lily Wei said. Then, she hung up the phone. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
Fade proceeded to dial his wife's number. After a series of beeping sounds, no one answered.
Then, Fade called her three more times. Finally, Quin Lin picked up the phone and said, "Hello!"
"Honey, are you in Long City?" Fade asked her directly. He continued, "Lily is very worried about you because you haven't gotten back yet. I'm also worried about you. What are you doing in Long City?
After a moment of silence, Quin said quietly, "No worries. I'm doing fine in Long City. I met someone that I used to know, so I stayed one more day. I'm fine,and you don't have to worry about me. I'm hanging up now!"
Although Quin said she was fine, Fade felt that something was off with her tone. So he
said, "Dear, I'm coming to Long City immediately. Wait for me there. If there is any issues, I will deal with it."
After hanging up, Fade's face became a little more serious.
"Mr. Chen, what's wrong?" Master Xie asked. "Let's go back to Bay City now,"he continued.
Fade shook his head and said, "I'm going to Long City. You can stay here and supervise these people. You have to pay special attention to the Sacred Fig Tree. Don't allow it to be harmed."
"Well, alright!" Master Xie said and nodded. He continued, "After dealing with this matter, I'll go to Long City to look for you, Mr. Chen."
"Sure!" Fade said and he nodded. Then, he walked directly toward the forest.
He wasn't far from Long City. After passing through the forest, he would arrive at the suburbs of Long City. Therefore, Fade did not intend to go down the mountain and use the car. Instead, he decided to walk directly through the forest.
After rushing into the forest, Fade sped up. His figure morphed into a mere shadow and he walked through the forest as though he was walking on flat ground.
Looking at Fade, who had disappeared in the blink of an eye, Master Xie couldn't help but be envious and amazed. He whispered, "I can't imagine how strong Mr. Chen is! I don't know when I can reach Mr. Chen's level."
Fade ran quickly all the way through the forest. He slowed down to rest every two hours.
In this way, Fade finally arrived at the suburbs of Long City, in a part of the town called Dragonville, just as the skies began to darken.
The suburbs were close to the mountains and the forest, so there were few people around. Standing on the mountain, he could see the entire town. Occasionally, he could see some lights in the village. In the distance, there was a magnificent glowing light, which was the center of Dragonville.
After determining the direction of his journey, Fade walked down the mountain and went forward.
Since he was close to the village, he would pass the occasional person along the way. Therefore, Fade slowed down. He walked at the speed of ordinary people.
After leaving the forest, he found himself in a meadow. On the other side of the meadow, there was a road. Fade wondered if he could hitch a ride with a passing car to enter Long City. After all, he was not familiar with Long City. Since he was here, he really didn't know where to find his wife.
However, looking at the dark night around him, Fade shook his head. It was almost impossible to get a ride with a car at this time.
However, just as Fade was shaking his head, he heard the sound of a car. Then, he heard more cars coming toward him.
"I really can get a ride with a car tonight!" Fade thought to himself, and he was delighted. He quickened his pace and walked toward the sound of the cars.
After passing a small forest, Fade could observe the situation clearly. He immediately knew where the sound of those cars were coming from.
There was a wide sandy area in front of him. At this moment, there were more than ten tents on the ground. Outside the tents, around ten luxurious land rovers were there. Their engines were on,and so were their car lights. This lit up the center of the tents.
Then, he saw a group of young men and women, who were holding all kinds of food. They were also bringing barbecue racks, wood, and other items.They seemed to be preparing a barbecue dinner.
However, this group of people was obviously not experienced in camping. They were busy talking to each other, wasting a lot of food, but the barbecue stand was not built at all. Even the bonfire only produced smoke, which caused their noses to become runny and their tears to flow. However, they still couldn't light the fire.
Instead, the smoke floated into the nearby tents, causing the people inside to come out. They started to quarrel with each other, and this almost lead to a fight.
Looking at this group of people, Fade understood what was going on. This must be a group of rich young people. Maybe they were too bored, so they decided to come and camp in the forest. Unfortunately, they had no relevant experience at camping. They brought a lot of professional equipment, but they didn't know how to use anything.
They started the cars because there was no light coming from the bonfire, so they could only use the lights of the cars.
Fade couldn't help shaking his head, and he was ready to leave.
Just as Fade was about to leave, someone saw him and shouted angrily, "Who is that? Come here!"
With this shout, more than a dozen rich young people immediately rushed over and stared at Fade with unfriendly expressions. Most of them were still holding knives, shovels and other tools. They looked at Fade in vigilance and excitement.
Fade turned around, spread out his hands, and explained, "I was just passing by."
The group of people looked at Fade's clothes. Looking at his tattered mountain climbing attire, they believed him.
Seeing that they did not speak, Fade turned around and prepared to leave.
But then, a tall man in his mid-20s walked out of the crowd. He had red Hair and was styled like a punk.
The man kicked a small stone beside his feet at Fade.At the same time, he shouted rudely, "Wait, come here!"
Fade leaned to one side to avoid the stone. Then, he looked at the Red Hair Punk and asked coldly, "What can I do for you?"
The man smiled and said, "Judging by what you're wearing, you enjoy hiking and camping?"
Fade didn't answer. He just looked at the Red Hair Punk and felt a little uneasy.
The man crooked his finger and said with an arrogant expression, "If you agree that you like those activities, come here and set up the tent for us. Don't forget to light the bonfire, and you'll be responsible for the barbecue and dinner."
Hearing this, Fade frowned and said, "I'm sorry. I'm on my way to Long City. I'm not interested in playing house with you."
After that, Fade turned around and was about to leave.
The Red Hair Punk obviously didn't expect that someone would dare to refuse his request. His expression darkened and he shouted coldly, "Boy, I asked you to come here and help us. Didn't you hear me?"
