When Yu Wuyuan heard this, he couldn’t help but say gently, “He should be worried.”
Jian Ai chuckled and called for the two of them. “Eat first. Go back to the hotel later and bring our things over. Then, check out of the hotel.”
When Yun Buyao heard this, she knew that the Sect Master was planning to stay at the mercenary group headquarters.
Not long after, Zhi Tong changed into his black robe and came downstairs.
Seeing that he could already walk freely, Yun Buyao couldn’t help but exclaim, “Zhi Tong, are you okay?”
!!“Yes, I’m much better,” Zhi Tong said softly.
However, his childish voice stunned them. Yun Buyao widened her eyes in surprise. “You really changed your voice?”
Yun Buyao naturally knew that Zhi Tong would not lie. However, hearing it with her own ears, she could not help but be shocked because it sounded very novel.
Zhi Tong nodded in embarra.s.sment.
“Alright, Zhi Tong is hungry. Let him eat first,” Jian Ai said softly to Yun Buyao. Otherwise, with her curious personality, there would be no end to it.
Over the past few days, Hans could not sleep because of Irene’s disappearance. Now that he knew Irene, and the rest were still alive, he had a rare good sleep last night. He felt he had regained his energy.
After sleeping well, he felt much more relaxed and happy. He even ate more breakfast.
The door of the villa suddenly opened, and a man in his twenties walked in quickly.
The man had blond hair and blue eyes. He was exceptionally handsome and had a tall and muscular figure. He had typical European looks.
This person’s name was Snow, and he was Hans’ only son.
At this moment, Snow had a smile on his face and looked a little excited. When Hans saw his son, his stony expression instantly softened. He said in a surprised tone, “Snow? Why are you back?”
Snow rushed to the dining table excitedly. His blue eyes were sparkling, and he looked like an exceptionally optimistic and smiling person. He looked at Hans and said, “Dad, I heard that we have a few guests here? And they’re from China?”
When Hans heard this, he couldn’t help but pause. He thought to himself that his subordinate must have told Snow the news. He couldn’t help but say slowly, “There are three guests who came from afar. Did you come back for them? Are you ignoring schoolwork?”
Snow was a university student from a famous university in Rome. Hans only had him as a son, so he especially cherished and doted on him. He did not want him to repeat his path, so he groomed him very carefully, hoping that he could lead an ordinary life in the future.
Snow had grown up under Hans’ wings, and Hans would never mention these shady things to his son, so it resulted in Snow being relatively simple and cheerful. He was filled with hope and enthusiasm for everything.
Hans was very relieved by this.
Therefore, although Hans’ words sounded like a reprimand and displeasure, his tone was very gentle and with no anger. Every time he saw his son, he was the happiest.
Snow immediately revealed a bright smile like the sun. “I’m just curious because no one in our family has ever had guests before. Moreover, I’ve never seen a Chinese before!”
Hans couldn’t help but smile. “Asians look alike. Don’t you have Asian cla.s.smates in school?”
Like most foreigners who looked at Asians, Hans thought Asians looked similar.
“Of course it’s different!” Snow obviously disagreed with his father. As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn’t help but look around. “Where are the guests?”
Seeing his son’s anxious look, Hans couldn’t help but sigh. “We talked until late last night. The guests need to rest. Since you’re back, stay at home for a night. I’ll hold a banquet for the guests tonight. You’ll see them then.”
When Snow heard this, he couldn’t help but nod excitedly.
On the other side, Baiyun City!
Because of the time difference, it was already evening in China. In the kitchen, Chi Yang was cooking.
Bai Zhou, Xiao Zhen, and Chi Lian sat in the living room and talked.
“I wonder if it’s dangerous for the Sect Master and the rest to stay in the mercenary group headquarters,” Bai Zhou couldn’t help but say.
He had been on tenterhooks ever since he received the news that Jian Ai and the rest’s operation had been exposed yesterday. First, he was worried about Zhi Tong’s injuries. Most importantly, he was worried about their safety.
“Don’t worry. Since the Sect Master can stay there, it means that Hans is not aggressive to them at the moment,” Xiao Zhen said slowly.
Chi Lian nodded as well. “That’s right. With Yu Wuyuan around, I believe he will protect the Sect Master well.”
Bai Zhou pursed his lips, but he could not hide the seriousness on his handsome face. However, he could only comfort himself with Xiao Zhen and Chi Lian’s words, telling himself that with Yu Wuyuan around, everything would go smoothly.
As he was thinking, the phone on the coffee table suddenly rang.
Bai Zhou s.h.i.+vered and quickly picked it up. “It’s the Sect Master!”
“Pick it up!” Chi Lian quickly said.
Bai Zhou picked it up and said, “Sect Master!”
At this moment, Jian Ai was sitting opposite Hans on the sofa in the mountainside villa of the mercenary group. She couldn’t help but say slowly, “It’s me.”
“Is there anything new?” Bai Zhou quickly asked.
Jian Ai could hear the nervousness in Bai Zhou’s tone through the phone. She couldn’t help but chuckle and say in a relaxed tone, “Don’t be so nervous. I’m with Leader Hans now. Give the phone to Irene. Leader Hans wants to confirm if Irene and the rest are safe!”
Bai Zhou was stunned for a moment before looking up at Xiao Zhen and Chi Lian and blinking.
Xiao Zhen frowned slightly. Chi Lian panicked. “What’s wrong? What did the Sect Master say?”
Bai Zhou handed the phone in his hand to Xiao Zhen and said, “The Sect Master asked me to hand the phone to Irene.”
He did not dare to approach those people. He was a weak and handsome man. Even if Yu Wuyuan sealed the abilities of those mercenaries, they could kill him easily.
Xiao Zhen seemed to understand Jian Ai’s intentions. Leader Hans wanted to confirm Irene’s situation.
He took the phone and stood up, walking towards the room.
In the room, Irene and the rest were still trapped inside, and they had barely changed their positions.
Irene was sitting on the fur rug in the corner of the wall in front of the window. Andrew was lying on his back on the bed, and Gale was leaning against the bed frame with a dull expression. The others were either sitting or lying down, but their expressions were not as lively as before.
Just as Xiao Zhen had said, being sealed in a s.p.a.ce for a long time could easily wear down one’s mind and smooth out their edges.
