He Qiyan had said that Liao Zixia and Qin Shengnan were fellow disciples.
Therefore.
Zhang Yang naturally didn't believe what the other party said.
He roughly pushed aside Liao Zixia and began to search the villa layer by layer.
"Zhang Yang, you..."
Zhang Yang was very fast, and Liao Zixia couldn't stop him.
She could only follow behind Zhang Yang.
After more than ten minutes of searching.
Zhang Yang didn't even spare the basement.
However, he found nothing. There was no trace of Qin Shengnan or Han Xiyao in the entire villa.
But the more this was the case, the more Zhang Yang became certain of one thing.
Han Xiyao's disappearance was definitely related to Qin Shengnan.
"Zhang Yang, my senior sister is really not here. Tell me what you want to do," Liao Zixia said tentatively.
"It's useless to tell you. Call Qin Shengnan now and ask her where she is," Zhang Yang said in a deep voice.
"This..." Liao Zixia hesitated.
Zhang Yang coming to her door in a rage late at night must have guessed something.
Liao Zixia really didn't want to make this call.
"Zhang Yang, why don't you tell me first, maybe..."
"Shut up, hurry up and call Qin Shengnan and tell her to bring Han Xiyao back to me," Zhang Yang roared.
Zhang Yang was very angry.
However, he controlled his emotions and continued.
"Liao Zixia, if Han Xiyao has any accident, I will make Qin Shengnan wish she were dead!"
In fact.
Zhang Yang's heart was already filled with rage.
If Zhang Yang hadn't remembered that Liao Zixia had informed him before.
And told him that Han Xiyao was about to be drugged by Nangong Yi.
Zhang Yang might have wanted to capture Liao Zixia directly as a hostage to exchange for Han Xiyao.
What?
Han Xiyao is missing?
Liao Zixia's mouth slightly opened, a little shocked.
She really didn't know about this.
But with Qin Shengnan's methods, she could really do it.
"Wait a moment, I'll call my sixth senior sister now."
With that said.
Liao Zixia dialed Qin Shengnan's phone.
As soon as the call was connected, Zhang Yang snatched the phone.
"Hello, Zixia, is something wrong?"
Qin Shengnan's voice came from the phone.
"Qin Shengnan, is Xiyao in your hands? What did you do to her?" Zhang Yang roared.
Hearing Zhang Yang's voice, there was silence on the phone.
At this moment.
Besides the unconscious Han Xiyao, there were two other people beside Qin Shengnan.
After thinking for a moment, Qin Shengnan smiled.
She turned on the speakerphone and said unhurriedly.
"Who are you? How did Zixia's phone get into your hands? And who is this Xiyao you're talking about?"
"Qin Shengnan, stop playing dumb. Haven't you always had your eye on me?"
"How can you not even recognize my voice now?" Zhang Yang shouted loudly.
Qin Shengnan listened silently.
She secretly glanced at the two people beside her.
Seeing their expressions change slightly, she couldn't help but smile.
"How did you find me? Did that traitor He Qiyan tell you? It seems He Qiyan has indeed betrayed our sect!"
Zhang Yang's eyes were filled with ferocity, and he said in a deep voice.
"So, you admit that Xiyao is in your hands?"
"Qin Shengnan, if you want my token, I can give it to you, but Han Xiyao must be handed over to me!"
Hearing Zhang Yang's voluntary compromise, Qin Shengnan smiled.
"Heh, although I really want the token in your hand, but..."
"But what!" Zhang Yang pressed.
"But Han Xiyao is not in my hands, so I can't exchange with you," Qin Shengnan replied.
This!
Zhang Yang was shocked.
Did he guess wrong?
While Zhang Yang was thinking, Qin Shengnan said.
"Zhang Yang, I will naturally find a way to get your token, but Han Xiyao is not in my hands, and I have no reason to lie to you."
After finishing speaking.
Qin Shengnan hung up the phone without waiting for Zhang Yang to reply, and then turned it off.
No matter how Zhang Yang called back, he couldn't get through.
"Bastard, that vicious woman! Don't let me catch you!" Zhang Yang roared.
Talk.
Zhang Yang angrily smashed his phone to pieces and turned to leave.
Liao Zixia was speechless.
If you're angry, you're angry, but why smash my phone?
At the same time.
Qin Shengnan, who had hung up the phone, looked at the two people beside her and smiled.
"Fourth Senior Sister, Elder, you both heard it, right?"
Opposite Qin Shengnan, the two listened to the conversation on the phone, their expressions not very good.
Tang Ruxue, Qin Shengnan's fourth senior sister.
She had just arrived in Jiangnan City and was not very clear about everything.
She simply pushed up her rimless gold-rimmed glasses and pondered silently, without expressing any opinion.
But the red-robed elder beside her snorted coldly.
A terrifying aura emanated from his body, making Qin Shengnan feel a little suppressed.
"He Qiyan, that traitor, dares to betray the sect. We must kill this traitor on this trip to Jiangnan!"
"What the Red-robed Elder said is correct. He Qiyan has wronged the sect and deserves to be killed," Qin Shengnan said with a smile.
"However... Shengnan, how did you discover He Qiyan's betrayal?" the Red-robed Elder asked.
Qin Shengnan chuckled, her eyes flashing with cold light.
"Actually, I discovered it by chance. Master asked He Qiyan to go down the mountain to help me share the pressure."
"I am responsible for Zhang Yang's matters, and He Qiyan is responsible for the matters arranged by Master."
"This is actually quite good, but my informant found out that He Qiyan came to Jiangnan City and was actually living with Zhang Yang. Naturally, I felt something was wrong."
"Moreover, with Zhang Yang coming to me now, if it's not what He Qiyan said, who else could it be?"
The Red-robed Elder nodded silently.
His expression became even more gloomy, and he snorted, saying nothing more.
As for Qin Shengnan's fourth senior sister.
She stopped thinking, pushed her glasses frame again, and pointed at the unconscious Han Xiyao, asking.
"Junior Sister, this person is Han Xiyao, right? Why didn't you agree to Zhang Yang just now?"
"This way, Junior Brother would have gotten the token he needed, and you could have reported back, right?"
Qin Shengnan stared at Tang Ruxue with a half-smile.
In the Seven Kill Gate.
Qin Shengnan was skilled in strategy.
He Qiyan focused on combat.
Tang Ruxue focused on power.
In a sense, Qin Shengnan's strategy and Tang Ruxue's power had common ground.
"Fourth Senior Sister, didn't you guess it? Why are you asking this question?" Qin Shengnan said with a smile.
"Junior Sister, you're joking. I'm not in your mind, how could I know your thoughts?" Tang Ruxue blinked, looking confused.
However, in Tang Ruxue's heart, she was already very displeased.
She secretly cursed Qin Shengnan for being too greedy.
Looking at the other party's behavior, it seemed like she intended to take all the credit for herself.
Leaving not even a drop of soup for her.
"Heh, Fourth Senior Sister really likes to joke," Qin Shengnan said, actively avoiding the topic.
Then, she said to the two of them.
"Fourth Senior Sister and Elder Red-robed have just arrived in Jiangnan City. I'll arrange a banquet to welcome you first."
Qin Shengnan made a slight gesture, as if inviting them.
Tang Ruxue narrowed her eyes and said meaningfully.
"Junior Sister, are you hungry so soon? It seems your appetite has improved during your time in Jiangnan City, but be careful of indigestion."
Qin Shengnan smiled without replying.
Jiangnan City was her territory.
Whether her appetite was good or not, she was confident, and it was not Tang Ruxue's place to comment.
"Let's go, let's go eat," the Red-robed Elder said.
From beginning to end.
The Red-robed Elder had been listening silently, watching the unspoken competition between the two.
These two fellow senior sisters were both favored disciples of the sect leader.
But in the Seven Kill Gate, apart from Liao Zixia and the junior brother, who were loved by these senior sisters.
The other fellow disciples were actually wary of each other and competing.
This was already a common occurrence in the Seven Kill Gate.
Let alone the Red-robed Elder, even elders of other ranks would not interfere.
After all.
The style of the Seven Kill Gate was like this.
To grow, to become stronger, to gain more.
Besides fighting enemies, you also have to fight your own people!
But speaking of which.
The Red-robed Elder was also a little curious about Qin Shengnan's next plan.
...
On the other side.
After leaving Qin's villa, Zhang Yang was filled with anger.
However, he was not completely without gains.
At least he was 90% sure that Han Xiyao was in Qin Shengnan's hands.
It's just that.
Qin Shengnan didn't use Han Xiyao to threaten him and get his token.
Instead, she was delaying and playing dumb. What was the reason for this?
"Don't think you can hide from me just because you're hidden!" Zhang Yang muttered to himself in a deep voice.
Then, he drove straight to the Fengyun Bar.
As soon as Zhang Yang arrived, the brothers of the Fengyun Association immediately notified Third Master and Mangzi.
"Doctor Zhang, why didn't you give us a heads-up when you came here? Quick, quick, please come in." Third Master and Mangzi said enthusiastically.
Zhang Yang frowned. He was not used to the noisy environment of the bar.
"Third Master, find a quiet place. I have something to discuss with you," Zhang Yang said.
Seeing Zhang Yang's gloomy expression.
The smiles on Third Master and Mangzi's faces also faded, and they said solemnly.
"Doctor Zhang, please come in."
The three of them came to the reception room on the second floor of the Fengyun Bar.
It was relatively quieter here.
Zhang Yang was direct and to the point.
"Third Master, I need your help to find someone," Zhang Yang said seriously.
"Find someone, who?" Third Master asked.
For Zhang Yang to come to him personally late at night for help, the person must not be simple.
However, in the past two days, Third Master had completely integrated Jiangnan City.
His subordinates were spread throughout Jiangnan City.
It should not be difficult to find someone.
"The Qin family, Qin Shengnan," Zhang Yang said.
Qin Shengnan?
Third Master and Mangzi exchanged glances.
The Qin family that Zhang Yang valued must be the Qin family of the Jiangnan Three Heroes.
"Mangzi, notify everyone immediately. All entertainment venues, including Fengyun Bar, will be closed tonight. Fengyun Association will pay for all expenses and dismiss all guests."
"Also, immediately send Qin Shengnan's recent photo to all the brothers, and tell them to get moving now."
Third Master was decisive and immediately gave the order.
He didn't even intend to ask Zhang Yang what had happened.
Mangzi was also efficient and turned to leave immediately.
Zhang Yang was surprised by Third Master's attitude and thanked him.
"Third Master, thank you very much."
"Doctor Zhang, you're being too polite. If it weren't for you, I, Ma San, would already be a pile of bones," Third Master shook his head.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you here. Notify me as soon as there's any news. I'm leaving now."
After Zhang Yang finished speaking, he turned and left.
After leaving Fengyun Association, he didn't stop, and drove straight to the Jiangnan City military camp overnight.
As soon as he arrived at the Dragon Group base, Zhang Yang called A Tian over.
"Captain Zhang, you were looking for me?" A Tian asked.
Zhang Yang looked at A Tian for a while. "It seems you've recovered well, and even benefited from the misfortune?"
A Tian chuckled, looking at Zhang Yang gratefully.
Before the competition between the Patrol Division and the Dragon Group this year, he was injured by Nangong Wu, and his blood qi collapsed.
Zhang Yang avenged him, crippled Nangong Wu, and also prepared elixirs for him.
This allowed him to break through to the peak of the Outer Body Refining realm.
"This is all thanks to Captain Zhang's elixirs. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have been crippled for life," A Tian said gratefully.
Zhang Yang shook his head. "You don't need to thank me. This is also your own opportunity."
After the pleasantries, Zhang Yang got straight to the point.
"A Tian, I need the Dragon Group's help now. I want the Dragon Group to help me find someone."
"Who is it?"
"The Qin family, Qin Shengnan!"
"..."
Upon learning of Zhang Yang's urgency, A Tian did not hesitate.
Zhang Yang was the captain of the Dragon Group.
And he had secured the opportunity for the Dragon Group to enter the provincial capital in this year's competition.
Therefore, Zhang Yang's request was nothing.
A Tian immediately informed the entire Dragon Group about the matter.
A moment later.
Dragon Group special forces departed, the intelligence team set out, and informants became active...
...
After leaving the Dragon Group base.
Zhang Yang went to the other two families of the Jiangnan Three Heroes.
The Guan family and the Luo family.
Zhang Yang sought an audience with the two old family heads overnight and asked them to help find Qin Shengnan.
He had saved the lives of the old men of these two families.
Old Guan and Old Luo naturally would not refuse Zhang Yang's request.
They immediately dispatched a large number of family guards to search for Qin Shengnan.
...
This night.
The night in Jiangnan City seemed peaceful.
But behind it, there was an undercurrent.
Unknowingly.
Zhang Yang had gained immense influence in Jiangnan City.
With just one request.
He could mobilize all the families, forces, and organizations in Jiangnan City.
"I hope there will be news soon."
Zhang Yang prayed silently.
Human strength has its limits. Although Zhang Yang was extraordinary in martial arts and had peerless medical skills.
It was no less difficult than finding a needle in a haystack to find Qin Shengnan relying on himself alone.
Now, he could only place his hope on these people.
After doing all this, Zhang Yang returned home.
Tonight.
Zhang Yang replaced sleep with meditation, constantly waiting for news from these people.
...
Qin Family Old Residence.
Old Qin also received the news.
He learned that all the forces in Jiangnan City were looking for Qin Shengnan.
This startled the retired but secretly powerful Old Qin.
Qin Shengnan.
What trouble had this crazy girl caused again?
The Dragon Group, Fengyun Association, Guan family, Luo family, why were they all looking for her?
Old Qin's eyelids twitched, and he had a bad premonition.
But he couldn't contact Qin Shengnan at the moment.
Helplessly, Old Qin also dispatched Qin family experts to join the search for Qin Shengnan.
At the same time.
Qin Shengnan, who was the most concerned person in Jiangnan City, had already left the urban area of Jiangnan City.
After settling Tang Ruxue and the Red-robed Elder, she drove alone to the foot of a mountain.
This mountain was called Lingtai Mountain.
There was a temple on the mountain, Lingtai Temple.
In the dark night, Qin Shengnan waited silently.
She felt no fear despite the darkness all around.
Suddenly.
Two beams of light shone from the distance.
A two-door sports car with a provincial license plate stopped in front of Qin Shengnan.
The driver's and passenger's doors opened simultaneously, and an old and a young person got out of the car.
"President Qin, long time no see."
Qin Shengnan was a little surprised by the other party's shrill voice.
Even...
She admired the other party's courage.
"To become stronger, you chose not to be a man? This courage is truly admirable," Qin Shengnan said with emotion.
"Heh, this is only temporary. My master said I will have a chance to recover," the other party shook his head, his eyes filled with venom.
