Fade Chen spoke on the phone, "Sister Lily, don't worry. I'll leave the company’s business matters to you. I'll contact Quin immediately and ask her what's going on. If I can't get her, I'll personally make a trip to Long City."
"Okay, thank you. I'll leave this matter to you," Lily Wei said. Then, she hung up the phone.
Fade proceeded to dial his wife's number. After a series of beeping sounds, no one answered.
Then, Fade called her three more times. Finally, Quin Lin picked up the phone and said, "Hello!"
"Honey, are you in Long City?" Fade asked her directly. He continued, "Lily is very worried about you because you haven't gotten back yet. I'm also worried about you. What are you doing in Long City?
After a moment of silence, Quin said quietly, "No worries. I'm doing fine in Long City. I met someone that I used to know, so I stayed one more day. I'm fine,and you don't have to worry about me. I'm hanging up now!"
Although Quin said she was fine, Fade felt that something was off with her tone. So he
said, "Dear, I'm coming to Long City immediately. Wait for me there. If there is any issues, I will deal with it."
After hanging up, Fade's face became a little more serious.
"Mr. Chen, what's wrong?" Master Xie asked. "Let's go back to Bay City now,"he continued.
Fade shook his head and said, "I'm going to Long City. You can stay here and supervise these people. You have to pay special attention to the Sacred Fig Tree. Don't allow it to be harmed."
"Well, alright!" Master Xie said and nodded. He continued, "After dealing with this matter, I'll go to Long City to look for you, Mr. Chen."
"Sure!" Fade said and he nodded. Then, he walked directly toward the forest.
He wasn't far from Long City. After passing through the forest, he would arrive at the suburbs of Long City. Therefore, Fade did not intend to go down the mountain and use the car. Instead, he decided to walk directly through the forest.
After rushing into the forest, Fade sped up. His figure morphed into a mere shadow and he walked through the forest as though he was walking on flat ground.
Looking at Fade, who had disappeared in the blink of an eye, Master Xie couldn't help but be envious and amazed. He whispered, "I can't imagine how strong Mr. Chen is! I don't know when I can reach Mr. Chen's level."
Fade ran quickly all the way through the forest. He slowed down to rest every two hours.
In this way, Fade finally arrived at the suburbs of Long City, in a part of the town called Dragonville, just as the skies began to darken.
The suburbs were close to the mountains and the forest, so there were few people around. Standing on the mountain, he could see the entire town. Occasionally, he could see some lights in the village. In the distance, there was a magnificent glowing light, which was the center of Dragonville.
After determining the direction of his journey, Fade walked down the mountain and went forward.
Since he was close to the village, he would pass the occasional person along the way. Therefore, Fade slowed down. He walked at the speed of ordinary people.
After leaving the forest, he found himself in a meadow. On the other side of the meadow, there was a road. Fade wondered if he could hitch a ride with a passing car to enter Long City. After all, he was not familiar with Long City. Since he was here, he really didn't know where to find his wife.
However, looking at the dark night around him, Fade shook his head. It was almost impossible to get a ride with a car at this time.
