An uncomfortable silence fell into the living room, and the sound of clinking porcelain could be heard from the kitchen.
After a while, a young maid came over carrying coffee and snacks.
She put the things in front of Xuanyuan Xuantian and Ling Xiaotu, and then the group of people retreated to the corner.
Lin Zhan spoke again, his tone was very heavy.[
"I'm glad you can come back this time."
Xuanyuan Xuantian only said one word.
"kindness."
Ling Xiaotu sat quietly next to him and showed a smile.
"How have you been these past years?" Lin Zhan asked.
"Not bad." Xuanyuan Xuantian said briefly, "The market has almost fallen into a monopoly state."
He picked up the coffee on the table and began to sip it.
There was a brief silence in the living room again.

This is not an ordinary incident."
"It's indeed a bit strange." Xuanyuan Xuantian said, "Among these children are adults from the four major families?"
Obviously, only in this way will they attract attention.
"Well, that's why I came to you. There are several children who are the future heirs of the four major families." Lin Zhan paused and showed a slightly embarrassed expression, "I have been searching for a long time to no avail. It is said that the children are missing.
The time was the same, around nine o'clock in the evening, and they were alone when they disappeared. Now there is a emptiness in the whole city, and every family with children at home feels that they are in danger."
