"Your people have all lost her, which shows she is determined to hide from you. Even if my people are capable, it won’t be so easy to find her," Xiahou Chunyi shook his head, not confident either.
After all, A City is so vast. If you truly want to find soone, it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Even though his status is special, he can’t openly search for soone, can he? Unless he issues a wanted notice.
As Xiahou Chunyi spoke, he turned his head and saw Xing Chen frowning once again.
Knowing Xing Chen was anxious, Xiahou Chunyi added, "Instead of searching for her like a needle in a haystack, why don’t you think of a way to force her out? If she is willing to co out herself, it would be much faster than us trying to find her."
"Since she is determined to leave, how easy would it be to force her back?" Xing Chen sighed. How could he not have thought of this thod?
It’s just that he had already hurt her. If he used tricks on her again, he truly didn’t know if she would end up hating him completely.
"People are sotis really strange. Before, you couldn’t wait for soone to leave, but now that she’s gone, you can’t bear it!" Xiahou Chunyi shook his head, turned again, and looked toward the Lou Family’s mansion, feeling even more uneasy in his heart.
"Why did you think of sparing them back then? Look, it’s not even been that long, and they’re causing trouble again. Do you want to go in with you?"
Of course, Xiahou Chunyi knew why the usually decisive Xing Chen would go easy on the Lou Family. He was just trying to ease the tension.
After all, the Lou Family’s power hadn’t been completely dismantled. To uproot them entirely now would be impossible.
It would be better to give the Lou Family so face, not move against them for now, and let Xing Chen repay old favors.
It could be considered killing two birds with one stone.
Xiahou Chunyi’s words brought Xing Chen’s thoughts back.
He also turned his gaze toward the ancient mansion, his eyes as calm as water.
"There’s no need. I’ll go in alone. It wouldn’t be convenient with you there."
In one sentence, he directly refused Xiahou Chunyi’s offer.
When Lou Zhaonian called, his tone wasn’t very good, suggesting that the matter might be sowhat tricky.
With Xiahou Chunyi present, it might be hard to explain things clearly.
Xiahou Chunyi was no fool. He quickly detected the hint of disdain in Xing Chen’s words, and his expression beca sowhat complex. "Fine, in that case, I won’t interrupt your conversation. Go in by yourself; I’ll wait here."
"Mm." Xing Chen nodded and got out of the car.
With long strides, his figure looked so imposing, as if he would never be crushed.
Entering the Lou Family’s mansion, soone had already reported in advance. Lou Zhaonian and Lou Xining were sitting on the sofa in the living room, waiting for him.
This eting was different from any previous ones.
Both sides were filled with hostility and vigilance.
When Xing Chen walked in, neither Lou Zhaonian nor Lou Xining spoke.
Xing Chen sat effortlessly on the sofa on one side, his long legs casually crossed, his body slightly relaxed against the soft sofa.
His eagle eyes revealed contempt and indifference.
"I wonder what business the old commander has today?"
Xing Chen’s tone had changed, no longer respectful and deferential.
Naturally, Lou Zhaonian noticed it too. He had no intention of being polite to Xing Chen either. Since they had already torn off the pretense, there was no need to pretend anymore.
