"Anying has been kidnapped, and the suspicion is that Hei Hu is behind it."
"I overlooked this point at the time, the extent of Hei Hu's desire for revenge, I didn't expect it to be so strong; if that's the case, then Anying is probably really in trouble this time."
"Alright, contact me if anything happens."
"Okay, I got it. Don't worry, there shouldn't be any major issues."
After saying this, he waved to the old man, then watched as the car disappeared into the night.
In fact, Ada had gradually come to see that this Ye Chen now occupied a very important place in the old man's heart.
Perhaps he would rather let something happen to the others than to let anything happen to Ye Chen.
Moreover, in the future, for many things, the old man will probably entrust them to Ye Chen. To be honest, at this moment, Ada felt that he was probably getting old.
Even though he had acted as an undercover agent for the old man for so many years, he felt that with Anying's arrival, his position would be gradually replaced.
However, that is also fine; in fact, Ada was already tired of this kind of life. If it weren't for the affection he had formed for the old man, he would have surely retired and would not have dealt with the matters of the Martial Arts World anymore.
So, in a strict sense, even from his personal perspective, he hoped that both Anying and Ye Chen would be safe and sound.
Only if Anying was safe and sound, then he could slowly take over his position, and then Ada could gradually step down, passing all matters over to Anying.
He believed that if the tasks were handed over to Anying, the outcomes would likely be even better than if he had done them himself.
Both for the sake of duty and personal reasons, Ada had to rescue Anying safely today; otherwise, it would be unsatisfactory for everyone concerned.
So, he must resolve all the locations and extract all his informants, and he must find that van that took Anying away.
Then, Ada got into the car behind him and started to orchestrate from there.
At this time, Ye Chen was still waiting at the entrance of the residential area, believing that once the message was released, it would soon spread throughout the area.
So, currently, he could not simply move from his location, but where should he go?
Surely, he could not just randomly pick a direction before Ada sends any news to him. If he did choose randomly, every distance could pose a great threat to him.
As Ye Chen thought this, he merely looked up to the sky and sighed deeply before heading to the entrance.
Suddenly, Ye Chen remembered something – the last time Anying had disappeared, she had been looking up, fixated on a large sign, but Ye Chen did not understand what her action implied.
Anying had stood there for a full three minutes, so what on that sign had caught Anying's attention?
He believed there must be something abnormal there; otherwise, she wouldn't have focused so much on it.
With that thought, Ye Chen tried to position himself where Anying had been and then looked up.
That was a large archway built when the residential area was first constructed, with the name of the complex on it, and nothing else.
Besides the complex's name, there was a signature at the back, presumably written by a local cultural celebrity.
Looking at it, there didn't seem to be any issues, but after taking a closer look, Ye Chen noticed there didn't appear to be anything unusual.
If there was nothing out of the ordinary, why had Anying lingered here?
He began to worry and looked around the area back and forth, searching for anything that was different from the other spots. Finally, at the last character of the sign, Ye Chen discovered a black line.
Underneath the golden sign, the black line seemed especially prominent – something easily overlooked if not examined carefully.
This item, being exposed to the elements all year round, could have been contaminated by something, which would seem normal.
Even if contaminated, it's unlikely that people would clean the sign daily, so it probably only gets cleaned occasionally.
At this moment, Ye Chen was about two to three meters away from the sign.
If that's the case, he couldn't clearly see what that black thing might be.
