Di Qing's whereabouts were peculiar.
After Lin Xiao ordered an investigation, he discovered that apart from within the hospital, no other cameras had captured Di Qing's movements.
He couldn't even locate Di Qing before he entered the hospital, yet Di Qing had abruptly appeared on camera on the first floor.
There was definitely a secret about him.
Three days passed, three whole days.
Nothing had been found.
Zheng Aijia's matter had also concluded in secrecy.
His fate was sealed.
A notice within the system stated he would serve fifty years.
Fifty years…
When Lin Xiao heard this number, he narrowed his eyes. He would personally see to Zheng Aijia's well-being inside. This matter would not end here. For now, he was merely showing deference to Elder Zheng, who was advanced in age. He did not want Elder Zheng to be utterly devastated by this affair.
There was no news from Shashi either. His daughter and her family were safe, and nothing had happened to them.
He walked the streets of the capital. For days, he had been retracing the routes around the capital's hospital, covering almost every path nearby.
For the first three days, he found nothing.
But today, he had discovered something.
Finally, there was a lead. kuAiδugg
At a subway entrance, Lin Xiao felt a peculiar chill.
The subway station was indeed colder than the outside, but usually, there was heating during this weather, so ordinary people wouldn't notice the chill. However, as Lin Xiao passed by, he distinctly felt an unusual coldness.
Though deeply concealed, this chill was unlike anything Lin Xiao had encountered in his over twenty years of life.
It was more extreme; a single experience of it seemed unforgettable.
He subconsciously walked down into the subway station.
His gaze swept over the people around him.
He had already pinpointed the source of that chill. At this moment, he completely concealed his presence, ensuring no one could detect him. With the help of his True Dragon Qi, within Dragon Country, a single thought was enough to guarantee his invisibility.
Soon, he found someone.
Di Qing.
Lin Xiao was now all too familiar with that face. Di Qing was still wearing the same green robe as a disciple of the Misty Immortal Palace. His hair was neatly arranged, his topknot tied up.
He looked like a curious child, observing the departing trains in the subway station.
Lin Xiao stealthily approached him, ten meters… five meters…
Finally, he stood beside Di Qing.
Di Qing suddenly turned his head to look at Lin Xiao.
Upon seeing Lin Xiao's face, his expression changed dramatically. All his curiosity vanished, replaced by solemnity. Simultaneously, he instantly put five to six meters of distance between himself and Lin Xiao.
"Don't be nervous."
Lin Xiao spoke, but not aloud. Instead, his voice resonated directly in Di Qing's ear: "Come back with me. I have some questions for you."
"Impossible."
Di Qing's refusal was firm. How could he go back?
"You have no right to refuse."
With that, Lin Xiao made his move.
Regardless, the difference in their strength was like that between heaven and earth.
