Lan Long smiled, but his smile did not reach his eyes, and answered, “No, don’t worry, there’s only my grandfather at home. He loves lively scenes the most. I hope Ms. Xi Yue and you two ladies can chat with my grandfather and help me cheer him up!”

Xi Yue immediately became happy at that. ‘Meeting his elders so soon proves that Lan Long genuinely likes my girls.’

However, Lan Long’s face turned cold the instant he got the Zhu family women into the car and shut the door. He went to the driver’s side window and ordered the driver, “Send them to the villa and keep a strict watch over them!”

Only then did the three women realize that something was wrong, but it was already too late. The door was already locked, and they couldn’t get out. Xi Yue anxiously shouted at Lan Long, who was standing outside the car, “What’s the meaning of this? What do you mean by this?”

The car started up, and the partition between the front and back seats rose up. The back seats area now became an enclosed space. No matter how much they knocked or slammed on the windows or partition, no one answered.

Lan Long’s breathing was slightly rapid as he watched the car drive away. There was no doubt that the battle between him and the Shi family brothers had come to a head. ‘Then there’s no need to be polite,’ Lan Long thought.

In the hospital, the private nurses kneeled on the floor in fear. “Young Master!” Chen Tao ran over in frustrated anger. “The surveillance cameras didn’t catch the old master leaving the hospital!”

Lan Long didn’t say anything. He gently tapped his forehead with his knuckles again and again, combing through every detail. A flash of inspiration suddenly hit him, and he took a deep breath. He then dialed that familiar number. After a long while, someone picked up.

“Yun Nan, it’s me.” Lan Long’s voice sounded a little hoarse to his own ears.

“Mr. Lan, what can I do for you?” Yun Nan’s voice was calm as usual.

Lan Long cleared his throat to make his voice smoother, and told her, “Yun Nan, my grandfather is missing.”

Yun Nan didn’t speak.

“I can’t think of anyone else aside from you who can make my grandfather follow obediently,” Lan Long continued, his voice so mild it was as if he was talking about something unimportant.

Lan Long’s tone was nearly entirely flat when he spoke next: “State your conditions, Yun Nan. Or, I can use your good friend Fang Xi’s family as an exchange.”

“What? Fang Xi’s family? Who are you talking about?” Yun Nan finally responded, but the subject she was concerned about was Fang Xi’s family. Lan Long’s worried heart finally eased. This meant that his grandfather was with the Shi family, and from what he knows of Yun Nan, at least his grandfather wouldn’t suffer in their hands. Now, it was just a matter of terms.
