Fade Chen looked straight into Fairman Gu's eyes and observed his expressions to make sure that he wasn't lying. Then, he sneered coldly, "Get your followers to look for Quin at once. If anything happens to her, you will die. If there's even so much as half a lie in your story, you will die."
"I, I'll dispatch my men, right now!" Fairman shouted,as he endured the pain that he was feeling. "I swear to God that I'm not lying, I swear,"he said.
"I hope you are not!" Fade snarled. Then, he left the conference room in a flash.
The room fell silent, except for the sound of Fairman crying out in pain as he made the call.
Everyone else in the room could not believe what they had just witnessed in front of their eyes.
Marco Ji was quivering in fear right now, and he couldn't even bring himself to look up. If he lifted his head, he would see the bloody scene in front of him. He was fearful that the next time something like this happens, it'll be him on the floor instead.
Marco's father, who was standing beside him, was livid and regretful. He wanted nothing more than to beat the crap out of his son right now.
It was Marco's usual habit to cause problems in his dealings, but he didn't expect Marco to provoke such a ruthless man. His own father was now involved. If Fade were to come back and discover what the Ji Family had been doing behind his back, they would never be able to get out of this mess alive.
After all, they were the first to stand up to support Fairman's plan to drive Fade out.
The other corporate financial groups were scared to death as well. They were traumatized and anxious.
Eileen Yao's father felt nothing but extreme remorse. His daughter had asked him to speak on behalf of Fade,and even begged him, but he didn't agree with her. He lost his only chance of gaining leverage with Fade.
Everyone in the conference room was silent, as they feared for their lives. Fade left the room in fury, and his heart was racing. He couldn't help but feel anxious.
He blamed himself for his carelessness. He had trusted Fairman, a total stranger, wholeheartedly. He had left his wife alone. In the end, he had fallen into the enemy's trap, and his wife was in imminent danger.
"30 minutes, they have left 30 minutes ago. I need to act quick, before I lose track of them entirely," Fade thought to himself He was concerned, but he also felt helpless, because he couldn't figure out which way they had taken her.
The small town was surrounded by hills in three directions, with a main road leading toward the outside world. They could have left town in a car by taking the main road, or they could have just taken Quin Lin straight into the forest.
Just as Fade was feeling anxious, there was a ray of light in the direction of the forest. The ray of light was shot into the sky from a distance away.
It was a crimson flame. It flew straight into the sky and erupted into brilliant sparks.
Something in Fade's eyes lit up when he saw the blaze. He was overcome with joy, "She's right there,"he thought to himself. He quickened his pace, until he turned into a shadow, and he ran in its direction.
The flames were a little trick that Fade had sneaked into the Ice Silk Sacred Figs amulet, to function either as an alarm or a deterrent.
Whoever took her might have accidentally triggered the amulet, which caused the sparks to erupt and in turn acted as a signal to him.
Yet at the same time, this meant that Quin was in grave danger.
Meanwhile, four men in black robes and skull masks were carrying an unconscious young woman at the moment, navigating guickly through the woods.
One of them had accidentally tripped over the bracelet on Quin's wrist, which caused the eruption of the crimson flame a moment ago.
