Shen Zhijin held his breath and said, "Elder Xu, I need to take this call first. I'll call you back later."
Xu Yin did not know what was going on, but hearing Shen Zhijin's tone of voice, he realized that something was wrong. He immediately said, "Alright."
Shen Zhijin answered Lu Huaiyu's call.
"Teacher Shen," Lu Huaiyu's voice was heavy as he spoke, "We've lost contact with Ah Li."
Shen Zhijin's entire body instantly tensed up. His throat was dry, and he said with difficulty, "When did that happen?"
"About half an hour ago, she sent me the location of Jingye Villa. Not long ago, Shi Yang's assistant called him and said that he was there too." Lu Huaiyu glanced at his watch. "I'm in the villa right now, but Ah Li and Shi Yang are not here."
"Shi Yang?"
Shen Zhijin slowly repeated the name.
"Yes."
Lu Huaiyu paused for a moment, and his voice lowered slightly.
