Hearing Xu Man's cry for help, Cheng Xiaofan's body trembled, but then the other party's phone seemed to be snatched away.
"Xu Man, Xu Man..." Cheng Xiaofan called out several times, but there was no sound from the phone.
Seeing Cheng Xiaofan's unusual expression, Bai Yiling hurriedly asked, "Xiaofan, what's wrong with Xu Man?"
After Bai Yiling invested in Zhuxi Village, Xu Man had also visited, and she naturally recognized her. A few days ago, Bai Yiling had also seen Xu Man when she was doing a live broadcast by Nanshan Lake.
Cheng Xiaofan frowned and said, "It seems something has happened to Xu Man!"
"What exactly happened?" Bai Yiling asked anxiously.
Cheng Xiaofan said, "It seems she's been kidnapped!"
Bai Yiling was startled, "What, Xu Man was kidnapped? Then let's call the police!"
Cheng Xiaofan shook his head slightly and said, "Calling the police will not only be useless, but will also alert the enemy, and might even cost Xu Man her life."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yiling pondered for a moment, her delicate brows furrowed, and said, "That's strange. If the kidnapper was after money, Xu Man wouldn't have called you for help. She would have called her family."
"Xiaofan, could it be that the kidnapper's target is you?" As expected of the domineering beautiful CEO, she got straight to the point.
Cheng Xiaofan nodded and smiled, "My Bai goddess is indeed as intelligent as ever. You've hit the nail on the head!"
Long Xingyun slammed the table and stood up, enraged, "What kind of kidnapper is this, daring to plot against my master? Are they tired of living?"
"Yes, we must catch this kidnapper and skin him alive, chop him into..." Jiang Xueyan chimed in.
Obviously, she realized her last words were too graphic and immediately stopped.
"Master, what can we do for you?" Zheng Yixin stepped forward and asked Cheng Xiaofan.
Cheng Xiaofan immediately said, "The kidnapper is after me, so don't be rash. I will handle matters like this."
He then looked at Long Xingyun and Jiang Xueyan and said, "The Nanshan Lake area is quite chaotic right now. We also need to be wary of the enemy using a diversion tactic. Neither of you should go anywhere. Stay here and guard this place well, and don't let any trouble arise here."
"Don't worry, Master. Xueyan and I will definitely guard Nanshan Lake well!" Long Xingyun said.
Cheng Xiaofan nodded, then smiled at Zheng Yixin, "Zheng Yixin, I apologize. I just drank a cup of wine that you three sisters offered, and I haven't had a chance to return the toast. I have to leave now."
He then said to Bai Yiling, "Yiling, when you get back, absolutely do not tell Mom and Dad about this, lest they worry about me!"
Bai Yiling said, "You can rest assured about this. I know what I'm doing and I definitely won't tell Mom and Dad."
"It's just that Xu Man called you for help just now, said a few words, and then the call was cut off. There's no more news. Where are you going to find her?"
Cheng Xiaofan laughed, "This kidnapper is definitely not an ordinary person. He didn't let Xu Man say too much, so he naturally knows that I will be able to find them."
"Alright, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm leaving!"
As soon as he walked out of the private room, Bai Yiling followed him out and asked, "Xiaofan, do you want me to go with you?"
Cheng Xiaofan knew that his Bai goddess was worried about him, and he smiled, "No need. Don't worry, no one can threaten me. I've always been very confident in myself!"
"It's very late now. After I leave, you should let them finish up too, so that Mom and Dad won't worry!"
"Okay, I know!" Bai Yiling said.
Leaving the island, Cheng Xiaofan used his spiritual sense to summon Taoqibao.
Immediately, Cheng Xiaofan, with Taoqibao, got on Potianying and flew directly towards the direction diagonally opposite Nanshan Lake.
On a towering, steep mountain peak, at the summit, there was a large rock. It was on this rock that Miyazakitenya from the Land of the Rising Sun had once meditated.
When Potianying, carrying Cheng Xiaofan and Taoqibao, flew to the sky above the peak, it descended immediately according to Cheng Xiaofan's instructions.
This time, Cheng Xiaofan suspected that Xu Man's kidnapping was related to the Blood Demon Sect of the Land of the Rising Sun.
Miyazakitenya, the Vice Sect Master of the Blood Demon Sect, had lost a pair of eyes in Zhuxi Village last time and would definitely not let it go.
At that time, Cheng Xiaofan, using the dragon power within his body, transformed into a dragon shadow and flew into the sky, using his dragon claws to dig out Miyazakitenya's eyes. The other party might have discovered the dragon shadow before that.
And now, there was a dragon energy disturbance in Nanshan Lake, and everyone close to Cheng Xiaofan had made breakthroughs. This could not help but arouse Miyazakitenya's suspicion.
In the other party's mind, it was possible that he believed that the dragon energy in Nanshan Lake had long been controlled by Cheng Xiaofan, and he had taken the opportunity to make a fortune.
After all, this matter had already been hotly discussed on the martial arts forums, with all sorts of speculation.
Cheng Xiaofan had investigated the Blood Demon Sect. Their whereabouts were always extremely elusive, and their methods were sinister. They were classified as an evil sect.
In fact, Cheng Xiaofan could have guessed it with his heels that if the Blood Demon Sect kidnapped Xu Man this time, their ultimate goal would be to lure him out so that they could kill him in one fell swoop.
Based on Cheng Xiaofan's intuition, the Blood Demon Sect members should not be far from here after kidnapping Xu Man.
"On my territory, do you think it's that easy to deal with me?" A cold smile flickered across Cheng Xiaofan's lips.
He then turned his attention to Taoqibao and said, "Do you remember the time you smelled a peculiar scent on this giant rock and tracked it to Xinyi Hotel in town with Potianying?"
"Woof woof!"
Taoqibao nodded, "Master, I remember."
"I still remember that scent. As long as people of this kind appear within a hundred-mile radius, I can still track their whereabouts."
Cheng Xiaofan was greatly impressed by Taoqibao's heaven-defying sense of smell.
"Then it's settled. Let Potianying carry you and thoroughly search this mountain range in front of us!" Cheng Xiaofan commanded.
Upon hearing this, Taoqibao immediately leaped onto Potianying.
Potianying, fearing that it would alert the enemy, did not emit a screech. It silently spread its wings and lifted off the ground. At the same time, it released a mist from its body, covering itself and Taoqibao, making them completely invisible.
Cheng Xiaofan immediately sat cross-legged on the giant rock, closed his eyes, and extended his spiritual sense, following behind Potianying.
The purpose of him doing this was to be able to communicate with this pair of beasts at any time if any situation arose.
"Jeeeee-"
At this moment, Potianying finally let out a clear, long cry.
However, this cry was rendered inaudible by Potianying's invisibility. Only Cheng Xiaofan could hear it clearly.
In Cheng Xiaofan's spiritual consciousness, Potianying, carrying Taoqibao, circled above the mountains and ridges under the brilliant starlight.
Potianying, guided by Cheng Xiaofan's spiritual sense, made several circuits within the designated area...
