Just as Lin Shan was about to answer Shangguan Yanran's question, the communicator suddenly rang urgently.
In fact, the sound and frequency of the communicator are the same, but Lin Shan always had a bad feeling when he heard the sound today.
He connected to the communication with some anxiety, and Wu Lingxiu's portrait appeared in front of him. The background behind her was her own aircraft.
It was obvious that she was still on her way back at this time, but her expression looked a little solemn.
"Sister, what happened?" Lin Shan took a deep breath and asked trying to stay calm.
Wu Lingxiu hesitated for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "There are two pieces of bad news. I hope you can stay calm after hearing it."
Lin Shan clenched his fists tightly, then nodded and said, "Okay, you go ahead."
"I just got the news that Zhao Zhengyi is dead..."
"What? How could this happen?" Although Lin Shan was mentally prepared, hearing the news still shocked him.
Because this was not what he expected at all.
How could Zhao Zhengyi be dead? He was the head of the Zhao family. He had not died in the fight with the Blood Sect before, so how could he die now?
"Do you know the cause of death?" Lin Shan took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and asked.
"It is said that the Blood Sect severely injured him during a previous sneak attack, and then died after ineffective treatment. But I think this matter is a bit strange, and the specific reason remains to be investigated." Wu Lingxiu expressed his own opinion.
Lin Shan nodded, and the mysterious old woman suddenly appeared in his mind. Could it be her who did it?
Thinking of this, he quickly asked: "Is Yan Song, the chief manager of the Zhao family, also dead?"
Wu Lingxiu shook his head and said: "I don't know this yet, why do you suddenly care about him?"
"Oh, before I was able to enter the Zhao family, it was all recommended by the chief manager. This person has been kind to me." Lin Shan said perfunctorily, and then asked: "What's the second bad news?"
Wu Lingxiu glanced at Lin Shan worriedly, thought for a moment and then said: "Zhao Xun'er is missing."
"What did you say? Isn't she at Wu Yingji's place? How could she be missing?" Lin Shan's expression turned ferocious in his eagerness.
"Yingji arranged Zhao Xun'er in the secret room of Qianbao Pavilion, which is the safest and most secluded place in the entire Qianbao Pavilion. However, when Yingji finished his work and went to the secret room to visit her, he found that the person was missing and there was no one there.
Leave a few words." Wu Lingxiu explained.
"Is it possible that he was kidnapped?" Lin Shan asked.
Wu Lingxiu said: "Yingji checked and there were no signs of fighting inside or outside the secret room. In other words, Zhao Xun'er probably left on her own."
"Leave by yourself..." Lin Shan pondered for a moment, then asked: "Did she go back to Kuixing City?"
"I just asked, there is no trace of Zhao Xun'er in Kuixing City. Now that Zhao Zhengyi is dead, it stands to reason that if she knew the news, she would definitely go back to attend the funeral, but now she has mysteriously disappeared, which is really disappointing.
It’s unbelievable.” Wu Lingxiu said.
"This situation can only mean that she was kidnapped. Otherwise, she will definitely go back to the Zhao family. No, I have to rush back immediately..."
"It's useless for you to rush back. Why don't I find Zhao Xun'er's whereabouts for you? You stay in Dongfang City first and help Miss Nalan sort out the martial arts competition. Our Wu family's intelligence network is worse than searching for you on your own. .In addition, if you help Miss Nalan handle this matter, you can also ask her for help. If the Nalan family intervenes, Zhao Xun'er will definitely find it." Wu Lingxiu said.
"You're right. As for the matter of finding Zhao Xun'er, I'll leave it to my sister first. We can keep in touch at any time," Lin Shan said.
"Okay, you don't have to worry too much. Since Zhao Xun'er was kidnapped, he definitely didn't mean to hurt her." Wu Lingxiu comforted her.
"Thank you sister, don't worry, I will focus on running the martial arts competition successfully." Lin Shan said.
Wu Lingxiu comforted Lin Shan a few more words before hanging up the communication.
At this time, Shangguan Yanran, who was sitting on the swing, had already stood up and said, "I'll help you find someone, don't worry too much."
"Miss Shangguan, thank you..." Lin Shan said gratefully.
Shangguan Yanran smiled and reminded: "You forgot again, didn't I tell you to call me Yanran?"
"Thank you Yanran." Lin Shan thanked him again.
Shangguan Yanran shook her head, then took out her communicator and made some arrangements in front of Lin Shan. The power of the Shangguan family was still quite large, and Shangguan Yanran was highly regarded by the family, so she could mobilize all the resources of the family.
But today's matter was a bit strange, so Shangguan Yanran quickly received a call from her grandfather.
After walking into the study and closing the door, Shangguan Yanran connected the communication: "Grandpa, do you want to ask me about the order I issued today?"
The old man Shangguan is called Shangguan Hong. He is a very capable old man. He looks kind and kind, but in fact he is cruel. It was under his leadership that the Shangguan family developed step by step to where it is today.
"Girl, I heard that there is a young man named Lin Shan living at your place?" The old man asked about this matter first.
Shangguan Yanran was not surprised. In fact, she knew very well that her family had been paying close attention to her. Now that a man was living in her house, she naturally couldn't hide it from the old man.
"Yes, it was Miss Jiu who arranged for him to live at my place." Shangguan Yanran said.
"Oh? What does she have to do with the Nalan family?" Although the old man was concerned about his granddaughter, he did not dare to harass Nalan Wanrong, so he did not know about this matter.
"I heard from Miss Jiu that she has asked Lin Shan to be her royal military advisor and organize some kind of martial arts competition for her," Shangguan Yanran said.
"This is a new thing. It seems that Lin Shan is quite capable." The old man said thoughtfully, twirling his beard.
"He is indeed very capable. The private club I worked with Miss Jiu was thought up by this person. Now that he is in trouble, I think it would be good for us to help him," Shangguan Yanran said.
After hearing this, the old man suddenly smiled and said: "Girl, you are not telling the truth, are you?"
Shangguan Yanran couldn't help but blush, and said a little shyly: "I can't hide anything from you."
"If he is really capable, it doesn't matter even if his cultivation level is poor. The most important thing is that he truly loves you and is able to accept him and join our family."
"Miss Ninth doesn't know why, but she values him very much, and specifically told me to respect Lin Shan as much as I respect her."
"This is quite rare. Do you know why?"
Shangguan Yanran shook her head and said: "I don't know, and I didn't dare to ask. After all, Miss Ninth is involved. If she finds out, it will probably make her unhappy." Shangguan Yanran said with some scruples.
Mr. Shangguan nodded and said: "It is not easy for you to maintain this kind of relationship with her now. You must not ruin this good situation because of a little curiosity. Our Shangguan family needs to maintain this relationship."
Mr. Shangguan thought for a while and said: "Tell Lin Shan for me, just say what I said. The Shangguan family will help her find the whereabouts of Zhao Xun'er at all costs, so that he must relax and handle the things Nalan Wanrong told him.
