Lan Yuxi raised an eyebrow slightly, "That ruthless?"
"We have to thank Camino for that," Nan Xiao replied sourly.
Lan Yuxi touched her brow, "Why thank him? If we're going to thank anyone, it should be Uncle Sang Di, because his final decision was his."
"That's true, then I don't owe him anything," Nan Xiao's tone instantly became much lighter.
Lan Yuxi curved her lips slightly, "Right, we don't owe him. I'll hang up for now. I'll have a surprise for you when we get home."
After Lan Yuxi hung up, she looked at Nan Yi, "You haven't had a chance to report to the Patriarch yet, have you?"
Nan Yi's mouth twitched, "I haven't reported to the Patriarch in a long time."
"Well done. If you can hold out until the end of the year without tattling, I'll reward you with a large apartment."
Nan Yi nodded solemnly, "Then I'll try my best."
Lan Yuxi rolled her eyes at him. Hearing the notification sound, she opened her phone and looked.
After reading the message, Lan Yuxi picked up her laptop, entered the permission password sent by Ming Zicheng, and then began searching on the screen.
"Senior Brother, where does Sha Kun most frequently operate?"
Hong Yin Nan recited several degrees of latitude and longitude. Lan Yuxi searched for a while and then shook her head, "Not found yet. When we get home, I'll switch equipment."
Hong Yin Nan said anxiously, "How about I go out to sea and look for him?"
Lan Yuxi patted her laptop, "My people are already at sea. Besides, even if you go out to sea, can you be as fast as me? Don't worry, just wait for my news."
The car quickly returned to the Earl's manor. Nan Xiao and the Lan family were already waiting in the living room.
Lan Yuxi smiled and pushed Hong Yin Nan towards the crowd, "Everyone, I'd like to introduce you to my Senior Brother, Hong Yin Nan!"
Lan Hao Lin was slightly stunned, then smiled at Elder Hong, "What did I say? As long as you tell Xi'er, you'll definitely find them. And here they are!"
Elder Hong's expression was complicated as he forced a smile, "Yes, if I had told Yu Xi earlier, they wouldn't have suffered so much."
"Child, please sit down," Tang Wan pulled Hong Yin Nan to sit down, then looked at Lan Yuxi, "Where is your師娘 (shī niáng - master's wife)?"
Lan Yuxi pursed her lips tightly, "My 師娘 is still in Sha Kun's hands. I'll go find her now. You all stay and chat with Senior Brother."
"Sha Kun?" Lan Hao Lin frowned slightly, "Pirate King Sha Kun?"
Lan Yuxi nodded.
Lan Hao Lin looked at Lan Mu Shang, "Send a message to all merchant ships, tell them to search the entire sea area for Sha Kun's fleet."
"Okay," Lan Mu Shang took his phone and quickly went to the study.
Lan Yuxi looked at Lan Hao Lin, "Dad, I need the equipment in your study."
Lan Hao Lin waved his hand, "Go ahead, the password is your birthday."
"I'll go with you," Nan Xiao stood up, greeted Hong Yin Nan, and followed Lan Yuxi to Lan Hao Lin's study.
Lan Hao Lin thought for a moment, then said to Lan Xiao Wu, "You go and gather the troops immediately. When Xi'er has news, you take them there as quickly as possible, and rescue your Uncle Hong's wife as soon as possible."
"Okay," Lan Xiao Wu raised his hand and patted Hong Yin Nan's shoulder, then walked out.
Lan Hao Lin looked at Tang Wan with a solemn expression, "Wan'er, call Old Sixth and tell him that he and Old Seventh must return one of them to accompany Old Fifth... just in case."
Tang Wan realized the seriousness of the situation and nodded vigorously, "Okay, I'll call him now."
Elder Hong patted Lan Hao Lin's hand gratefully, "Brother, no need to say anything more."
Lan Hao Lin smiled, "We are family, so it's right not to say anything!"
Elder Hong nodded, "Regarding gathering the team, you'd better discuss it with Xi'er. Just now, Er Wan wanted to help her, but she refused."
"Xi'er will definitely refuse if Zicheng uses public resources. Our family are all our own people. Don't worry, I'll communicate with Xi'er before we set off. Let her command this battle."
Hong Yin Nan nervously squeezed his fingers. It wasn't that he didn't trust Lan Yuxi, but it was a bit unstable to let a woman command all the men in the family, wasn't it?
Elder Hong saw his thoughts and coughed lightly, "You have to believe Xi'er has the ability. Even if she makes occasional mistakes, Nan Xiao and your Uncle Lan are there to protect her."
Hearing his father say this, Hong Yin Nan finally let go of his worries.
Just then, Ying walked in.
Seeing him return, Hong Yin Nan quickly went to meet him, "Did you get it?"
Ying glanced at him, then handed him the map.
Hong Yin Nan looked at the map and handed it back, "It's this one. She's in the study, you can deliver it to her."
Ying nodded slightly and went straight to the study.
Elder Hong said, "You go and take a look too, and help Xi'er with some advice."
As soon as Elder Hong finished speaking, Lan Yuxi walked out quickly, "Senior Brother, are you hiding someone important in China?"
Hong Yin Nan was slightly stunned, "My wife and my children are there. Did something happen to them?"
Elder Hong looked at him sharply, "You're ruthless! Sending your wife and children under my nose and not telling me!"
"You didn't ask."
Elder Hong pointed at him through gritted teeth.
"Master, please don't be angry. Senior Brother is right, we didn't ask him," Lan Yuxi appeased Elder Hong, then looked at Hong Yin Nan, "As I guessed, Sha Kun's people are looking for someone in China. I suspect they are afraid you'll turn against them, or that something happened to 師娘, and they urgently need another hostage."
Hong Yin Nan's pupils contracted sharply, "My mother won't be in danger! Help me find my mother's whereabouts first, and I'll go to China to rescue them, mother and son."
Lan Yuxi squinted at him, "By the time you get to China, it'll be too late. Where are they? I'll have people go pick them up right away."
"They are in the Jiangnan Lishui Fishing Village."
"Master, call the Mu family and have them secretly bring the people to their home first. I'll call my people now and have them prepare a private jet to bring them here." Lan Yuxi took out her phone to make a call.
Elder Hong stopped her, "It's better not to bring them here. The journey is too far, and there might be accidents. It's better to take them directly to the capital and hand them over to Er Wan for protection, which is more reliable."
Lan Yuxi put down her phone and looked over, "Handing them over to Er Wan is equivalent to handing them over to Nan Xiao. I might as well tell Nan Xiao directly."
Nan Xiao walked over quickly, "I heard what you said. I just called Xiang Bei, and he's personally leading people to pick them up. As for Sha Kun's men, you don't need to worry. Another team has already set out, and they will be captured completely within an hour."
Lan Yuxi smiled sweetly at him, "I knew my husband was the best!"
Nan Xiao dotingly rubbed her head, "I'll keep an eye on the computer. You go rest first. I'll call you when we find Sha Kun."
