Jiang Lanting, who was sitting at the banquet, couldn't help but feel increasingly worried as she caught sight of Chen Lun and his table looking smug.

"So long without returning, could something have happened?"

She hurriedly called Qin Feng.

But no one answered the phone.

The more it went on, the more worried she became.

Then she turned her head to look at the attendees from the Ao Huang Three Families, who were drinking so heartily as if something delightful had happened, not at all like they were at the start.

"Could it... really have happened?"

At that thought.

Jiang Lanting immediately ran to the men's restroom and "bam", kicked the restroom door open.

No one inside!

"Damn it! Something really has happened!"

Jiang Lanting felt a sudden shock in her heart.

Then.

She immediately returned to the banquet hall and said to Mr. Nangong, "Old gentleman, something's wrong, Qin Feng is in trouble!"

There was no choice.

Now only Mr. Nangong could save Qin Feng!

Her voice was loud.

Immediately, everyone's attention turned to her.

Mr. Nangong raised an eyebrow and asked, "What happened?"

Jiang Lanting continued, "Qin Feng went to the restroom just now, but it's been a long time, and he has still not returned. I just went to check, and there was no one inside. Unless I am mistaken, he must have been taken away by their people!"

As she spoke, she looked towards the Ao Huang Three Families.

All eyes also turned to look at them.

Members of the Ao Huang Three Families smiled at the corners of their mouths and said, "Miss Jiang, you can't just falsely accuse us! He didn't come back from the toilet, how can you blame us? We've been eating the whole time."

"Right, we have a grudge against him, but surely we can't be blamed for anything that happens to him!"

"..."

Jiang Lanting was anxious and turned to Mr. Nangong again, saying, "Old gentleman, it's been a while now, if we delay any further, I'm afraid Qin Feng could really be in trouble!"

Mr. Nangong was very fond of Qin Feng too, and looking towards the Ao Huang Three Families, he said, "Boss Bei, Leader Leng, and Master Lu, I remember saying that I will not interfere with your personal grievances, but I also said that this is my granddaughter's birthday banquet, and I don't want anyone causing trouble here. You understand what I mean, right?"

"We understand."

Said the Be Family Patriarch, "We will certainly heed the words of the old gentleman, and we definitely won't cause any trouble here."

"Yes, we are as good as our word, we won't trouble the Nangong Family, nor will we go against the old gentleman's word."

The Black Dragon Leader also said.

At this time, Master Lu also added, "However, if Qin Feng happens to leave here and something happens, the old gentleman wouldn't get involved, right?"

"Of course!"

Mr. Nangong said.

Hearing this, the three exchanged glances, all beaming with joy.

Seeing this.

Jiang Lanting became even more certain that they meant harm to Qin Feng, and called out to them, "Is it you who took him away!"

"Miss Jiang, you are wrongly accusing us, with Mr. Nangong here, how could we possibly do such a thing?" Master Lu said with a smile, his face full of triumph.

Chen Lun could no longer contain his excitement and stood up, laughing, "If Qin Feng ran away early and then something 'unexpected' happened outside, I think it's not impossible, haha!"

"Ran away?"

Hearing this, Jiang Lanting couldn't help but recall how Qin Feng looked when he left.

It was she who told him about Huang Dao, a Grade Four Grandmaster who was backing the Ao Huang Three Families, and then he complained of "stomach pain" and went to the restroom.

Could it be, she scared him into running away with her words?

Shaking her head.

Jiang Lanting then yelled at Chen Lun, "No! Absolutely impossible, he would never run away!"

Given her understanding of Qin Feng, there was simply no way he would run away. This соntеnt is prеsеntеd by М4VLЕМРYR.

"That's not necessarily true, hahaha..."

Chen Lun couldn't help bursting into laughter.

The others also let out mocking laughter, especially the Ao Huang Three Families, who seemed particularly pleased with themselves.

Jiang Lanting's heart grew even more anxious.

She looked again towards Mr. Nangong.

Mr. Nangong was also quite helpless. After all, he had given his word beforehand that while here, he could protect Qin Feng, but once outside this place, it was for them to resolve privately, and he couldn't interfere.

No choice.

Jiang Lanting gritted her teeth and warned the Ao Huang Three Families, "I am officially warning you now, assault is a crime, kidnapping is a crime, murder is even more of a crime. You still have time to stop now. Otherwise, if I find out that something bad happened to Qin Feng because of your people, I will arrest you!!"

With that said.

The entire hall fell into extreme silence.

No one had expected Jiang Lanting to say such words to the Ao Huang Three Families, to make such a threat!

"Hehe."

Master Lu gave a disdainful laugh, saying, "Captain Jiang, you are more than welcome to investigate. We are good citizens, we wouldn't break the law."

They were not scared at all.

At their level, they had plenty of ways to get out of trouble.

"Master Lu, I know you all have your means, but I swear here and now, if Qin Feng is even missing a single hair tonight, for the rest of my life, I will be watching you all closely. Every single thing you do, every place you go, every penny you earn, I will scrutinize in fine detail. I, Jiang Lanting, swear this. I mean what I say, and I say what I mean!!"

Jiang Lanting stared at them, eyes filled with determination!

She was serious.

It was clear to anyone that her words were not an idle threat, she meant business!

At this moment.

Even Mr. Nangong was taken aback.

In all of East Sea, aside from him and the Zuo Family, no one dared to confront the Ao Huang Three Families like that. Yet at this moment, she stood up, her eyes filled only with anger, not a trace of fear!

Everyone was also extremely surprised.

Why was she doing this?

Could her life be good after offending such a powerful force?

Right then, the Ao Huang Three Families also frowned and locked eyes with her.

They knew what this meant.

If it were someone else, it would have been easy to handle, but the one making such a threat was her, and that made things difficult.

At that moment.

In the deathly silent hall, after giving the Ao Huang Three Families a fierce look, Jiang Lanting dialed a number and said, "It's me, Jiang Lanting. I'm reporting a missing person, I suspect someone has been kidnapped, or even worse, possibly murdered. The missing person is Qin Yi, and I request immediate mobilization of all personnel for a citywide search!!"

Of course.

She was just a captain, and had no authority to order a "citywide search."

After being rejected.

Jiang Lanting continued, "The missing person, Qin Feng, possesses a Tiger Shark Order, is a member of the Tiger Shark Team, and according to my research, he has completed numerous important missions for the Dragon Group, with distinguished service! Also, he has a 'Dragon Card'!"

With that said.

Everyone in the hall clearly heard the person on the other end of the phone hesitating for a moment before saying, "Alright, we'll arrange it immediately, a citywide search!!"

In an instant.

The hall became even quieter!

Tiger Shark Order?

Qin Feng was a member of the Tiger Shark Team? Attacking a Tiger Shark Team member was like attacking the Guard, a crime with added severity!

Among those present.

Only a few people knew of Qin Feng's identity as a Tiger Shark Team member.

Now hearing this, they were all surprised.

The Ao Huang Three Families, however, had gloomy expressions.

They knew Qin Feng had the Tiger Shark Order, but they didn't know that he also possessed a "Dragon Card"!
