"Is he a returnee?"

Ou Beichen asked, raising a question as he developed other thoughts in his mind.

The key to letting the pawn grow strong is not just about having money and manpower; more important is to be able to handle any situation. Which leader doesn’t live with their head tied around their waist, facing crises everywhere that further promote personal growth.

"Keep getting those people to investigate; I’m thinking about uncovering more about this leader. Maybe we’ll find some clues from him."

"Yes, Mr. Ou."

Ou Beichen’s mood was extremely complicated at this moment; even though he knew the hope was slim, he wouldn’t abandon any means to find his brother. In his heart, he already understood how difficult it is to find someone in the vast sea of people, wanting everyone to be healthy and safe without any trouble.

"Brother, where exactly are you? Do you know how exhausted I am from searching for you?"

Talking to himself, Ou Beichen stared out the window into the world outside; the warmth in his heart gave way to silence with no news, making him quietly reminisce about all the moments with his brother.

Qin Miaomiao scrutinized the photos.

If you take a close look at the two photos, it’s easy to get confused, yet she clearly discerned the differences between the two people. Even identical brothers have distinct differences; the more she thought about it, the more complex the situation seemed than she had imagined.

"Ou Beiyao and Ou Beichen do look rather similar in some ways, but it’s only a resemblance; their appearances are still different." Qin Miaomiao mumbled to herself, feeling somewhat touched inside. Especially upon seeing Ou Beichen suddenly return to the country and remain silent about Ou Beiyao’s matters. That’s when she realized that, for him, the most important thing about returning home was to find Ou Beiyao.

Qin Miaomiao’s eyes turned towards the floor-to-ceiling window, and she was clear in her mind that something might have already happened, and it was not good. Otherwise, Ou Beiyao has been missing for such a long time without any trace. She understood Ou Beichen’s feelings, also knowing

how important Ou Beiyao is to him, so she had not intervened in this matter, instead hoping the brothers could reunite soon.

Lu Qing was browsing the new season’s plan, having looked through many such plans recently, becoming somewhat numb to them. Yet he remained cautious; suddenly his phone rang, and as he read the text, his pupils dilated abruptly.

Su Lan’s gaze settled on the entrance of the apartment building not far away, her eyes flickering as she pressed her baseball cap down, worried about being recognized by someone coming out.

Lin Xiaoxiao’s sharp eyes surveyed the surroundings, ensuring nothing was amiss before leaving the apartment and driving away. Along the way, she called Song Li quite a bit, learning that he had landed and was on his way home, so she drove straight there.

Su Lan was curious about where Lin Xiaoxiao was going, so she followed along. Regardless of whether she could see anything interesting, following wouldn’t be wrong, so she made a direct call to Huang Shan.

"Does Mo Wenwan know about what I mentioned last time? I want to know what she plans to do next."

Huang Shan’s gaze, deep and inquisitive, swept over her surroundings as she was removing makeup in the dressing room; inside she harbored a vague, inexplicable feeling. After earnestly pondering numerous things, she found that Mo Wenwan was utterly silent, truly surprising her.
