Chapter 178 The Terrible Situation

They got the address and drove to Murong Xue's apartment.

Four hours had passed now and it was the upper limit. Loong Pavilion could not send all their men to look for a girl for more than four hours as it would paralyze the entire organization. More importantly, it would affect international relations and even cause wars.

Long Yi knew he had to stop Huangfu Yi, so he risked his life and said, "Mr. Dragon, it's been four hours. The order has to be cancelled now." He knelt down and lowered his head.

He could feel that Huangfu Yi's cold eyes were looking him up and down. His body was shaking and cold sweats were trickling down his back. No one had disobeyed Huangfu Yi before, but he would rather sacrifice his life than see Loong Pavilion break down just because of a woman.

"Four hours…" Huangfu Yi's voice was also icy cold.

His tone was indifferent, but Long Yi felt ashamed after hearing it. It was unimaginable for him that Loong Pavilion could not find someone with the highest order within four hours, but now it just materialized.

Huangfu Yi did not take it out on Long Yi and he was only worried about Murong Xue's safety. He once believed that Loong Pavilion was the only one that could make everything possible. He only had Loong Pavilion and couldn’t solve the problem Loong Pavilion failed to do, so now he was deeply frustrated.

Long Yi's posture would remain unchanged until Huangfu Yi took back his order.

After a long time, Long Yi could feel that his legs had been numb. Then he heard Huangfu Yi's voice, "Take back the order, and send the Wind Breaking Force to look for her."

"Yes." Long Yi rose up and dragged his numb legs to pass the new order.

Huangfu Yi came to the bedside and looked at the shining stars outside the window, but he still felt anxious. "Xue, where are you?" Huangfu Yi thought to himself.

Since he came to power in Loong Pavilion, he had never felt that he was inadequate. This was the first time.

Murong Xue, at the same time, finally developed the product she wanted. She looked around cautiously to examine the situation outside the Space before coming out and she found there was something wrong and didn’t come out at once. Although she could only see part of the things going on, she already had a rough idea of what happened.

She remembered that she locked the door when she entered the Space, but now the door was open and her cellphone was taken out of her bag. She knew immediately that it was not caused by thieves, who would have taken her bag and made her room a mess. The only possibility was the visitors came for her.

Murong Xue wondered who did this.

No matter who did this, Murong Xue was in trouble and could not go out now. She did not know if there were people in her room and she could not explain it if anyone saw her come out of nowhere, which would cause a lot of trouble.

So she decided to wait in the Space. She was afraid that the foreigner who had pursued her before came again and she thought that he must have known she broke up with Shangguan Mo if he had dared to visit her. She would be in big trouble if so. There might be people guarding outside her room and this was the worst situation Murong Xue thought of.

Besides, she was worried that her families were the targets too, which was tearing her apart.

When the Gang of Five arrived at Murong Xue's apartment and saw the opened door, they all changed their faces and knew that someone scooped them.

They became serious and entered the house carefully. Then they saw two men in the living room staring at them coldly.

"Who are you?" Long Yi took out his pistol and said.

Laoda stopped the other four who tried to take out their weapons as well when he saw Long Yi's badge, the one that was given to the top general under Mr. Dragon and that was only known to the people in the organization.

This was totally unexpected. Laoda made them a sign and they all came forward to salute Long Yi, "We are the first team under the Storm Force of Loong Pavilion. Sorry to disturb you."

"The Storm Force? I remember the order is taken back, but you are here. You disobeyed the order." Long Yi took back his pistol and said cruelly. It was not allowed to disobey orders in Loong Pavilion.

The Gang of Five's faces paled at once because they knew how bad the penalty would be. People who suffered from the penalty would be half dead. At the same time, they worried about Murong Xue. Long Yi came for her, so it must be a big deal.

They all knelt down and remained silent. In Loong Pavilion, no excuses were allowed. The results decided everything and the reasons were not important.

Long Yi wanted to give them a penalty, but Huangfu Yi turned around and stopped him. Looking at the five people who were kneeling on the ground, Huangfu Yi said flatly with cold eyes, "Stand up, the five of you."

Huangfu Yi remembered that they were good friends with Murong Xue and she had invited them to her house. He thought that her friends might know where she went. But he was also surprised that they were in Loong Pavilion.

Hearing Huangfu Yi's voice, the five still didn’t dare to look up. Astonished, they wondered who this man was and how he could order Long Yi. Then they thought that this man might be the leader of Loong Pavilion.

They did not see Huangfu Yi's face now, so they did not find that he was Murong Xue's brother. When they came in before, they only saw his back. Therefore, with their heads lowing, they only found his voice familiar.

Long Yi did not expect that Huangfu Yi would care about them, so he had a little start before speaking, "Stand up now."

The five rose up slowly and then looked at Huangfu Yi. The moment they saw him, Xiaowu exclaimed, "You are..." But Laoda covered her mouth at once.

Laoda looked at Huangfu Yi nervously and feared that he would punish Xiaowu as she knew Huangfu Yi was the leader now. Xiaowu was always so reckless, so she failed to control herself at first. But she realized that she was wrong when Laoda stopped her. Now they all watched the leaders and waited for their reaction.

Huangfu Yi was still expressionless and he spoke indifferently, "Has Xue contacted any of you?" A hint of worry crossed his face when he asked them. It had been too long since Murong Xue disappeared and he was looking forward to finding any clues from Murong Xue’s friends.

"No. We've called her, but it did not get through. So we came here to look for her." Laoda pretended to be calm and told the truth. They never expected that Murong Xue's mentally-damaged brother turned out to be the leader of Loong Pavilion and they could never have met him in person but for this incident as they were not qualified. Therefore, Huangfu Yi was a mystery to others except for Long Yi.

Huangfu Yi could not help feeling upset. Since Murong Xue was gone, every past second for him had been a living hell. "Xue is not here. Do you have any clues?" Although he knew the answer, he still wanted to ask them. He had launched the Dragon Token but still failed. How could the Storm Force find her?

The five of them felt guilty. It was the first time that they had failed to find someone and she was their important friend. They had thought that Murong Xue had done something wrong to be wanted by Loong Pavilion, but now they were assured. After all, they were like sister and brother instead of enemies.

"We don't have any clues. We only knew that Xue disappeared here in her apartment. So can we go to her room and look for clues?" Laoda asked. They might find some useful clues in her room. They had to wait for Huangfu Yi and Long Yi's order.

Long Yi didn’t dare to say anything, so he turned to look at Huangfu Yi. Huangfu Yi waved his hand and signed them to go ahead helplessly, "Just go." He had already searched the room and found nothing. The only strange thing was that Murong Xue could not have left without her cellphone. Moreover, there was no hint of struggles and everything was in place. Therefore, it was impossible that Murong Xue was kidnapped. Basically, it seemed that Murong Xue just disappeared.

After the order, the five of them gave a salute and turned around to search the rooms. Then they found that each room's door was opened and they guessed that Long Yi and Huangfu Yi had examined themselves. But they still decided to take a look at the rooms.

There was nothing weird in the room. Xiaowu took Murong Xue's cellphone and checked the phone calls and found nothing weird as well. "All the calls are from acquaintances. Strange. Her cellphone is here, but she is gone. Where is Xiaoliu now?" Xiaowu felt confused and said.
