Lin Fei returned to Huadu, back to the senior sister's villa.

Xiao Ling, Qin Yunyue, Li Qing, and Yuan Yuxi had all returned to their homes.

After all, after two months away from Huadu, they also wanted to see their families.

"Young Master Lin, you're back. You must have had a great holiday!" The bodyguard in the villa smiled as he saw Lin Fei and said.

Lin Fei nodded at them: "Yes, it was not bad."

Then he asked the bodyguards: "Has anything happened during this period?"

"Young Master Lin, nothing has happened." The bodyguards immediately replied.

Lin Fei nodded and walked into the villa, returning to his bedroom, lying back to take a good rest first.

Since the senior sister mentioned someone in Huadu might target him, he wouldn't be too idle next.

Just as Lin Fei closed his eyes for a moment, the phone on the nightstand rang.

Lin Fei opened his eyes, picked up the phone, and saw it was a call from Chen Xinyi.

A faint smile appeared on his lips; as soon as he returned to Huadu, Chen Xinyi called. It seems Director Chen must have informed her of his return.

Getting on the call, Lin Fei smiled and said into the phone: "Director Chen, did you call to invite me for dinner?"

"Lin Fei, stop it. While you were relaxing on vacation in Shencheng, I was busy working hard, and you have the nerve to ask me to treat you to dinner?" Chen Xinyi said on the phone.

"Alright, alright, as a big man, I won't argue with you. I'll treat you to dinner, okay?" Lin Fei said.

"Lin Fei, let's talk about dinner later. Right now, there's an important case that needs your help." On the phone, Chen Xinyi's voice suddenly became serious.

Lin Fei knew that Chen Xinyi wouldn't bother him for regular cases, so calling him right after he returned to Huadu must mean it's a complicated major case.

Lin Fei asked, "Chen Xinyi, what exactly is the case?"

"It's about a case concerning the safety of my grandpa Li Yuande, as well as the heads of the Xie family, Yuan family, and Qin family," Chen Xinyi said with a heavily grave tone.

Lin Fei couldn't help but be startled; have the five patriarchs met with trouble?

"Chen Xinyi, I'll head over to your police department right now," Lin Fei said.

Thinking it couldn't be clearly explained over the phone, Lin Fei decided to ask Chen Xinyi about the details in person.

Lin Fei left the villa and asked a bodyguard to drive him to the police station in a jeep.

A dozen minutes later, Lin Fei arrived at the police station and walked into Chen Xinyi's office.

After two months, Chen Xinyi was still as valiant and straightforward as before, of course, just as beautiful.

Seeing Lin Fei, Chen Xinyi felt something odd at heart; she didn't know why she felt her heart race upon seeing him return.

She only realized that after two months of not seeing Lin Fei, she had secretly longed to meet him.

So, when he reappeared, she couldn't help but feel her heart beat for him.

Lin Fei sat on a chair opposite her desk openly, looked at Chen Xinyi, and said, "Tell me, what danger occurred to the five patriarchs?"

Chen Xinyi came back to her senses, returning to her serious and competent director's image, and said to Lin Fei: "Lin Fei, just two days ago, the five patriarchs went on an outing together to the suburbs and suddenly disappeared without a trace, and all their phones are turned off."

"The five patriarchs went on an outing without anyone accompanying them?" Lin Fei asked.

Chen Xinyi said: "Yes, during this trip to the suburbs the five patriarchs had their bodyguards with them, but they were all inexplicably drugged and knocked unconscious. When they woke up, the patriarchs were already gone."

"Our police have already dispatched a large force to search for the missing patriarchs during their outing but to no avail."

Lin Fei asked, "The bodyguards were drugged, and the patriarchs went missing almost immediately. This must be premeditated, right?"

"Our police suspect that as well, but currently we haven't found any leads or clues about the patriarchs." Chen Xinyi said with a slight furrow in her brow.

Lin Fei asked, "Do the five big families know about this?"

"Yes, the five big families are aware, but only they know about it as of now, and the residents of Huadu are still unaware." Chen Xinyi said.

Lin Fei couldn't imagine that upon returning to Huadu, he would hear the news of the patriarchs' disappearance.

This made him wonder: Could the patriarchs' disappearance have anything to do with what the senior sister said about someone targeting him?

But now, with no trace of the patriarchs, and even the police unable to find any leads, everything remains a mystery.

"What do the police plan to do next?" Lin Fei asked Chen Xinyi.

"We have sent out our most elite team for criminal investigation and believe they will find some clues." Chen Xinyi said.

Seeing Chen Xinyi frowning, Lin Fei said to her, "Stop thinking about the case, come on, I'll treat you to dinner."

Lin Fei and Chen Xinyi went to a restaurant near the police station to eat.

After the meal, Chen Xinyi felt a bit better.

Lin Fei said to her: "Chen Xinyi, don't worry! I'll definitely find the patriarchs."

"Hopefully, the team we've sent to search for the patriarchs can find clues soon." Chen Xinyi said.

Just as they were about to leave, Chen Xinyi's phone rang.

Seeing the caller ID, Chen Xinyi's eyes lit up, and she said to Lin Fei: "It's Captain Zhang Ling of the criminal investigation team sent by the police department to find the patriarchs."

Then, Chen Xinyi answered the call: "Hello, Captain Zhang, any leads on the patriarchs?"

"Director Chen, there's a lead. We found the heavily injured Li family patriarch in a building in Xingli Village on the southern outskirts of the city."

"My grandpa?! Captain Zhang, how serious are his injuries, and have you called an ambulance?" Chen Xinyi asked anxiously.

"Director Chen, don't worry. Though your grandpa is seriously injured, he is not in life-threatening danger. I've already arranged for our police car to urgently transport your grandpa to the First People's Hospital of the city." Captain Zhang said.

Chen Xinyi's nervousness eased, and she then asked Captain Zhang: "Aside from my grandpa, what about the other four patriarchs?"

"Currently we've only found your grandpa, and haven't discovered the whereabouts of the other four patriarchs. I'll continue searching the nearby area."

"Alright, Captain Zhang, please be careful, and inform me immediately once there are news on any of the four patriarchs." Chen Xinyi instructed.

"Yes, Director Chen."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Xinyi said to Lin Fei: "We have a lead!"

Lin Fei said: "I heard your call. Let's go to the First People's Hospital!"

At the First People's Hospital, after the police car stopped, Chen Xinyi and Lin Fei got out and headed straight into the hospital building.

They arrived at the ward where Li Yuande was.
