Mo Peng also learned about Xie Jin's departure. He analyzed: "Xie Jin's departure means that the Jiuzhou Empire will soon discuss war matters with her, and the war is about to break out."

His men asked worriedly, "General Mo, if a war really breaks out, what are our chances of winning?"

Mo Peng said firmly: "Don't forget that we have the support of other countries. They will provide us with arms. And the higher-ups have made it clear that no matter what the cost, this island must be ours."

Everyone's heart sank. Although some people did not want the war to break out, as soldiers they knew they had to obey orders and put their lives at risk.

Xie Jin quickly returned to the organization and found the director.

"Director, please tell me quickly, how are my parents doing now?" she asked anxiously.

The director was a man in his forties with a slicked-back hair, and looked older than his actual age.

"Xie Jin, I know you have been calling your parents. Please take a look at this document yourself first." The director said, pointing to a piece of paper on the table.

There was a paragraph of text printed on the paper, which roughly said that Xie Jin's parents were now in their hands, asking her to come back quickly and not to tell Qin Tian about this matter.

The content was roughly like this. The director also added that the letter was delivered in an envelope. The person who delivered the letter was very cunning and did not leave any clues such as fingerprints, so the investigation could not proceed. There was nothing else at the scene except the handprints of the postman.

The postman also felt strange at the time, it was really new that people still wrote letters in this day and age. But since it had been delivered, it had to be delivered.

Chief Wu Tianlou has sent people to check the surveillance of the post office, but found that the person who dropped off the letter was wearing all black, sunglasses and a hat, and it was almost impossible to identify any clues. Even his gender was difficult to determine, and his height could only be roughly estimated.

Xie Jin's tears welled up, but she told herself that she had to calm down.

She thought that since the kidnappers had kidnapped her parents, they would definitely use them to threaten her, so they should meet with her and ask her to go somewhere.

Wu Tianlou shook his head, indicating that he had no idea how things would develop next and that he could only follow the other party's arrangements.

Wu Tianlou sat down on the sofa. Although the sofa was soft, it felt hard to him.

In all his years of work, this was the first time he had encountered such a difficult situation.

"Director, you won't give up our plan because of this incident, right? We must never do anything that is detrimental to the Kyushu Empire." Xie Jin asked.

Wu Tianlou sighed, then smiled bitterly.

"As the person involved, you didn't give up, so how could I give up? By the way, you didn't tell Qin Tian about this, right?"

Xie Jin promised not to tell.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Xie Jin quickly opened the door and saw a man in green clothes standing at the door.

Wu Tianlou also quickly stood up and said, "This is the postman. Is he here to deliver the letter again?"
The postman nodded and said yes. He also felt strange that people kept delivering mail. And the sender's address only wrote a certain city, without any specific contact information. But this was not an express mail, so the requirements were not so strict.

"Okay, the letter has been delivered, I'm leaving now." The postman said and prepared to leave.

The letter was signed by Wu Tianlou again. He took a look at the envelope and found that there was no fingerprint record left.

Xie Jin snatched the envelope and opened it quickly.

There was only one line of big words on it: Let Xie Jin go to the Dragon Kingdom ruins as soon as possible.

Xie Jin didn't know where this place was.

Wu Tianlou explained: "I know that this place was a small city of the Dragon Kingdom during the Spring and Autumn Period. There are still city walls and a stone tablet there."

Wu Tianlou expressed his willingness to go with Xie Jin.

But Xie Jin shook his head.

"Although it didn't say so explicitly, I shouldn't be allowed to call the police or bring anyone else with me. If I go there rashly, I'm afraid my parents..."

The other party was very cunning and did not call because they knew that dealing with the authorities would leave more evidence. But if Xie Jin did not listen to them, her parents might be in danger.

Wu Tianlou said, "But how can I let you go alone? Jinhua, I know you are doing this for my own good, but I am really worried about you."

However, Xie Jin decided to go alone. She quickly ran out of the door, leaving Wu Tianlou sighing helplessly. He felt that his employees had encountered such a thing, but he was powerless to do anything.

When Xie Jingang walked downstairs, he received a call from Qin Tian.

If it were in the past, she would be very happy to receive his call, but now it was like a hot potato, and she was so scared that she didn't dare to answer it.

The phone kept ringing and she could only let it ring.

Qin Tian felt very strange in the cave. Xie Jin never missed a call, and her cell phone was always on 24 hours a day.

What exactly is going on?

So he called again.

Xie Jin felt as if her heart was hollowed out, but this time she still decided to answer the phone.

"Qin Tian, ​​is there anything wrong? Is there any new situation recently?" She tried her best to make her voice sound normal.

"No, didn't you go back to your original unit? I just wanted to ask if you have arrived?" Qin Tian said.

"So that's how it is. I've just arrived, less than an hour ago. Just report to me at any time if there is any situation." Xie Jin responded.

"Okay, I'll be relieved when you arrive." Qin Tian said and hung up the phone.

After Xie Jin hung up the phone, she felt a warm current flowing in her heart. She thought, how nice it would be if nothing happened to her.

After hanging up the phone, Qin Tian wanted to close his eyes and rest, but just a few seconds later, he suddenly opened his eyes.

"Something's wrong," he muttered, a hint of confusion in his expression.

Seeing this, Chen Hao quickly asked, "What's wrong with you? When you called Xie Jin just now, did you have a bad feeling?"

Qin Tian nodded, frowning, "Yes, I feel like she seems to have encountered some personal problems, not work-related. Her tone is slightly different from usual." As his contact with Xie Jin deepened, Qin Tian found that he knew her voice, even her subtle movements and expressions when she was on the phone. This time, he was sure that his intuition was not wrong.

Chen Hao tried to comfort him: "Maybe you're just overthinking it. Things in the workplace are sometimes kept confidential. Don't be too curious."

But Qin Tian's uneasiness became stronger and stronger. He had an urge to go back to Xie Jin immediately and find out the truth.

However, he also knew that he couldn't leave easily. When he was about to call again, Chen Hao held his hand and said, "Even if you guessed right and she really has something wrong, if she doesn't want to tell you, it's futile for you to ask, and it will only increase her psychological burden."

Qin Tian thought about it and felt that what Chen Hao said made sense. At this time, he thought of Shen Long, so he called him and asked if he had left.

Shen Long replied that he was visiting a tourist area and would have a flight back in the evening. Qin Tian then made a request: "Don't leave. I'll give you money and you can do something for me."

In Shen Long's mind, although Qin Tian had not officially accepted him as a disciple, he was already like a master and a father. Therefore, he agreed to Qin Tian's request without hesitation.

"Mr. Qin, tell me what you want. As long as I can do it, I will do my best."

Qin Tian informed Shen Long of Xie Jin's address and situation in detail, sent her photo, and asked him to observe secretly.

"Remember, don't mention that I asked you to go. You just need to observe quietly." Qin Tian reminded again and again.

"Don't worry, Mr. Qin, I know what to do." Shen Long promised solemnly.

After Xie Jin left, Wu Tianlou felt deeply distressed and blamed himself. He felt that he was too weak and did not insist that Xie Jin contact Qin Tian. Now that he thought about it, maybe Qin Tian had a way to rescue Xie Jin's parents.

Wu Tianlou was filled with remorse and felt that he had become an accomplice. He tried to call Xie Jin several times but was hesitant.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. He opened the door and saw Shen Long standing outside.

"Who are you looking for?" Wu Tianlou asked.

"I would like to ask, is Xie Jin's office here?" Shen Long replied.

"Yes, but she is out." Wu Tianlou responded.

"Then are you her leader?" Shen Long continued to ask.

"Yes, you can tell me anything." Wu Tianlou replied.

Shen Long followed Qin Tian's instructions and did not reveal too much information, but only said that Xie Jin might have encountered some problems. Wu Tianlou was shocked after hearing this, and he did not expect Qin Tian to notice something wrong just by the phone call.

Wu Tianlou decided that he could not sit idly by any longer, so he half-truthfully revealed to Shen Long the details of Xie Jin's trip to the Dragon Kingdom ruins, and said that she had left in a hurry after receiving a phone call.

Shen Long asked about the specific address with concern, and then left in a hurry. Wu Tianlou prayed in his heart: "I hope I did the right thing this time."

Shen Long quickly stopped a taxi and reported the situation to Qin Tian. Qin Tian analyzed, "My guess may be correct, but don't alarm her. If someone is against her, you have to act according to the situation. We have to find out the purpose of the mastermind behind it."

"I understand, Mr. Qin." Shen Long answered firmly.

Finally, Qin Tian informed Chen Hao and the others of the situation. He analyzed that Director Wu Tianlou might also know about it, but he did not tell them everything.

The two felt that Qin Tian’s analysis made sense and perhaps really hit the nail on the head.

Qin Tian was filled with indignation. The enemy had repeatedly attacked people around him. This behavior was truly despicable and shameless.

"I'll give them a deadline," Qin Tian said through gritted teeth, "If Lin Country can't solve the island problem within four or five days, I'll make them feel my power."

While he was thinking, Qin Tian's cell phone suddenly rang, showing that it was an unfamiliar number. He hesitated for a moment, but still answered it.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Qin Tian?" the other party asked.

"It's me. Who are you?" Qin Tian replied.

The caller turned out to be Wu Tianlou, Xie Jin's boss. Qin Tian was quite surprised.

"Oh, Director Wu, what's the matter?" Qin Tian tried to keep his tone calm.

Wu Tianlou pretended to comfort Qin Tian and praised his contribution to the Jiuzhou Empire, but Qin Tian knew that the other party was testing whether he knew about Xie Jin. The two laughed and ended the call quickly.

Wu Tianlou couldn't be sure whether Xie Jin had told Qin Tian about the matter, but he couldn't hear anything unusual in Qin Tian's tone.

Meanwhile, Xie Jin was taking a taxi to her destination, feeling uneasy. Unexpectedly, the taxi's tire burst on the way, and the driver had to ask her to take another vehicle.

At this moment, another taxi drove up, with Shen Long sitting in it. Xie Jin waved, but the driver said he already had a passenger. But Shen Long recognized Xie Jin at a glance, as he was the person Qin Tian asked him to find.

"It doesn't matter. If it's convenient for us, we can go together and save some travel fare." Shen Long suggested.

The driver thought it made sense, so he asked Xie Jin where he was going. When he learned that they were going to the same place, Xie Jin was also surprised.

"It seems that we are really destined to meet. Beauty, come up quickly." Shen Long said with a smile.

Xie Jin thanked Shen Long and got in the car, wondering why Shen Long was here. Shen Long explained that he was interested in the ancient ruins and came here to take pictures. Xie Jin did not suspect anything.

At the same time, Shen Long quietly sent a message to Qin Tian, ​​informing him of the situation. Qin Tian laughed after seeing the message, lamenting that there is no coincidence in the world. He told the two old men what happened, and the three of them smiled at each other, and their worries dissipated.

However, Qin Tian quickly put away his smile and became serious. He had roughly guessed the truth of the matter. The enemy always started with the people around him, first Tang Ying, and now Xie Jin. This method was really despicable.

When the taxi arrived at the ancient ruins, the driver reminded Xie Jin to be careful of Shen Long. Xie Jin smiled and thanked him, but she was a little flustered. She began to doubt Shen Long's identity and even worried that he was the kidnapper.

Shen Long laughed when he saw this and deliberately asked, "Why are you looking at me so carefully? Is there something dirty on my face?"

Xie Jin quickly denied it and looked away. Shen Long pretended to take a few photos and then walked away to keep his distance from Xie Jin.

Xie Jin heaved a sigh of relief, but looked around and found no sign of the kidnapper. She began to get anxious. When would the kidnapper show up? What if she was really asked to harm Qin Tian? These questions kept circling in her mind.

Xie Jin had been waiting there for half an hour, but still no one showed up. She began to wonder if the kidnapper was playing a trick on her. Shen Long continued to pretend to take photos, and he was also wondering why the kidnapper hadn't shown up yet. He realized that he couldn't stay here forever and had to find a secluded place to hide.

At this moment, Xie Jin's cell phone rang. It was Wu Tianlou calling. Wu Tianlou asked about her current situation. Xie Jin told him that she had been waiting for a long time, but no one showed up. Wu Tianlou asked if there was anyone around her. Xie Jin said she was alone. Wu Tianlou's heart sank. Could it be that the person Qin Tian sent to protect her did not meet her? (End of this chapter)
