"Do you know my friend was taken by someone?"

Yang Yan didn't wait for a response and asked directly.

On the other end of the line, Jiang Hai was about to say something when Yang Yan interrupted him again:

"Ten minutes! I'm giving you ten minutes! Within ten minutes, I need to know exactly where she is and if she's safe. If you can't do it, I'll take matters into my own hands."

Yang Yan's tone was so cold, it seemed like it could freeze the air.

"Okay!"

On the other end of the line, Jiang Hai managed to squeeze out two words.

The call ended, and Yang Yan closed his eyes and squatted down, gently tapping the ground with his fingers.

As soon as Yang Yan hung up, Jiang Hai immediately called the Dog King and explained the situation.

"What do you think we should do about this?"

Jiang Hai asked.

"What else can we do? We need to find her, no matter which idiot captured her, find her! Whether it's the Eight Divisions or those useless cops, I want everyone looking for her. Spread the word, drop everything in your hands; ten minutes, huh, if you can't find her in ten minutes, just wait for the blood moon to descend!"

The Dog King said sharply.

The order was conveyed quickly.

Soon, the entire East Sea City was in chaos.

Police cars roared down the streets, every traffic light turned red, and police tape was set up at all intersections.

The traffic in the entire East Sea City suddenly fell into paralysis.

"That's the situation. If you have any questions, we'll talk when you return. In short, you must find the person we're looking for within ten minutes!"

At the East Sea City Criminal Police Headquarters, the commissioner walked in directly and briefly described the features of the car they're looking for and the last known location where it disappeared. He didn't say anything else.

"What's going on? Why is everyone acting crazy today? Is it World War III?"

Traffic on the streets was completely paralyzed, and all the on-duty police received a message to immediately drop everything and look for a blue car without a license plate.

Yang Yan hadn't stood up since he first crouched down; his hand kept lightly tapping the ground as he stared hard at the time on his phone.

"Five minutes left! If something's going to happen, let the sky fall!"

Yang Yan whispered softly, his mind filled with memories of his childhood with Su Ye.

Especially the scene where the girl would leave her favorite food, waiting for him to come back.

"All available resources have been mobilized to search, don't worry too much, trust that she'll be safe."

Beside him, the Lion King, holding his massive gunblade, had somehow appeared next to Yang Yan.

"What? Already prepared to fight me?"

Yang Yan didn't even look at him as he said calmly.

"That's only the worst-case scenario. After all, the other people in East Sea are innocent. If you act recklessly, who knows how many could die."

The Lion King replied calmly.

"I remember I wanted to give them some protection measures; you said you'd look after them and advised me not to bring Hidden World matters into the present world, didn't you?"

Yang Yan asked softly.

"The reason has been investigated. It's Su Ye's brother who has debts outside, and they targeted Su Ye for money. They shouldn't harm her."

The Lion King said.

"I only care to see her safe, nothing else matters! Three minutes left! If you can't find her, I'll do it myself. If you want to stop me, at least bring that old man here. Otherwise, you don't stand a chance."

"I know that ever since I took out those four idiots who attacked me last time, that old man's been here. If there's a chance, I'd like to have a go at him. I've heard so many legends about him that my hands are itching."

Yang Yan turned his head and seriously looked at the Lion King and said.

"The Sword Immortal is not here currently, but if needed, he will come. However, please remain calm! Hidden World's techniques, especially yours, are not suitable for this occasion."

The Lion King said worriedly.

He could feel the fury emanating from Yang Yan.

The proximity made him feel an unsettling apprehension.

He also knew that if Yang Yan unleashed his full power, it would be questionable if he could withstand even three moves.

"Don't you find it strange? Ever since I came to East Sea City, the world hasn't been peaceful. Even someone like the Kalfa Squad dares to enter Huaxia."

Yang Yan said calmly, his gaze fixed on the time displayed on his phone.

The Lion King furrowed his brows without speaking.

The Hidden World has indeed been unsettled lately, and the "Unicorn Leopard's" activities are becoming increasingly frequent.

But the exact reasons are still unclear, and they can only increase Huaxia's defense capabilities.

Yang Yan glanced at him, then softly said:

"Because before I came, I had already pierced the sky! My return is just waiting for it to collapse!"

Upon hearing Yang Yan's words, the Lion King frowned.

He didn't know what Yang Yan had done outside, nor could he find out.

Huaxia has always been a nation of etiquette, never taking the initiative to invade or attack other countries.

As one of the four ancient civilizations, Huaxia may not have the strongest military power in the present world, yet in the Hidden World, Huaxia fears no one.

"Your methods are too conspicuous. If you're allowed to act recklessly, a lot of people might die. Calm your mind, we'll find Su Ye soon, she will be alright."

The Lion King also instinctively glanced at the time.

Trying to persuade Yang Yan, he really had no confidence at all.

"I thought you would ask what I did outside!"

Yang Yan said softly to the Lion King.

"Whatever you did out there, if I want to know, now isn't the time. The Dog King and the others have been studying you, knowing your methods. And they know you're someone whose word is his bond!"

"So, I only want to know now, if we can't find her within ten minutes, how do I face you? You, a hero revered in the Hidden World, will soon become a Demon King, and that is indeed Huaxia's sorrow."

The Lion King said with a bitter smile.

"Don't overthink it!" Yang Yan suddenly stood up, "You do your job from your standpoint, and I will do mine from mine. You don't want me to use Hidden World methods, and I must find Su Ye, so I gave you ten minutes. Though even that feels too long for me! In my heart, I don't want to wait even a moment."

"If she's found and unharmed, I'll continue living my life, enjoying my holiday. If she's not found or is harmed in any way, I'll handle it myself. As for the consequences, I can't say."

As he spoke, he looked up at the bright blue sky.

No one knew how important Su Ye was to him.

It was the most soul-stirring part of his life, filled with hardship but incredibly warm.

If there is anything that is Yang Yan's reverse scale, it's none other than Su Ye.

Nobody can hurt her, nobody!

Yang Yan quietly said to himself.
