After walking out of Starbucks, Yang Yan didn't directly look for Zhou Hanyun and her companions, but instead, he headed straight out of the "Northern Great World" towards Pan Garden.

There were some things she needed to discuss with that crazy woman, Qi Wutong.

Arriving at Qi Wutong's store, she, as before, was lying on a beanbag chair upstairs, sleeping as if in hibernation.

Yang Yan walked directly upstairs, opened the door, and looked at Qi Wutong who was sleeping soundly with her back to him, saying:

"Was it you who told those guys about my whereabouts?"

Originally sleeping soundly, she was startled by someone suddenly bursting in, and her drowsiness vanished instantly.

Just about to blow up, but upon lifting her head and seeing it was Yang Yan, the fire in Qi Wutong's heart instantly extinguished.

She didn't know why, but as long as she was with Yang Yan, she felt very comfortable.

She couldn't quite explain why this feeling existed.

But at least one thing was certain: if it were someone else barging in, she would have thrown him into the Dragon-locking Well under Beixinqiao to feed the dragon.

"Yeah, what's the matter? Those guys said they had a message for you. I sensed with Phoenix Heart that those three had no ill intentions."

Qi Wutong asked somewhat puzzledly.

Looking at Yang Yan's demeanor, it seemed like his conversation with those three didn't go well!

This made her feel a bit surprised.

"It's nothing, just help me check the background of those three. I only know they're from Baiyu City, but nothing else. I need to know which City Lord they belong to."

Yang Yan said straightforwardly.

"No need to check, I know them. The leader is called Endpoint, the other man is named Yuanfang. As for the woman, she's Yu Bai. All three are subordinates of Baiyu, the City Lord of Jade City among the Twelve Cities."

Qi Wutong said with a smile.

"You know them?"

Yang Yan looked at Qi Wutong suspiciously, asking somewhat surprised.

"I don't know them personally, just know of them. They're the current representatives in the Imperial Capital from Baiyu City in the present world. I specifically investigated them before."

Qi Wutong chuckled softly, her beautiful eyes carrying a bit of cunning.

"Alright, got it. Anyway, keep an eye on which Hidden World families have emerged recently for me."

"And see if there are Hidden World people from the Exotic Realm entering the Imperial Capital. If possible, deliver any accurate information to me."

After saying this, Yang Yan didn't care whether Qi Wutong agreed or not, and turned around to walk outside.

"Such an unromantic blockhead."

Watching Yang Yan walk out just like that, Qi Wutong dumbly gazed at his disappearing back, saying with a bit of dejection.

After leaving "Strange Tales," Yang Yan called Zhou Hanyun.

He wanted to ask if they were headed back to the hotel.

If they were returning, he'd just wait for them at the hotel.

However, the phone rang for a long time, but no one answered on the other side.

Yang Yan couldn't help but frown, then dialed Zhou Hanyu's phone number.

The result was the same—no one answered.

Yang Yan put his phone back into his pocket, walked to an empty corner, his figure slightly distorted, and quickly disappeared into the shadows of the corner.

Because of Yang Yan's sudden departure, Zhou Hanyun and the others lost interest in shopping and returned to the hotel early.

As soon as they reached the hotel and opened the door, the person from the room opposite rushed into their room, locked the door, and pulled out a gun, pointing it at them to keep them quiet.

At that moment, Zhou Hanyun's phone rang.

As she was about to reach for the phone, the man pointed the gun at Zhou Hanyun and said:

"Don't move, or I'll shoot."

Seeing the man looking tense, Zhou Hanyun didn't dare to casually reach for the phone, and the two sides were in a standoff.

As for Yang Yan's second call, it was similarly stopped.

"Where is the young master? You idiots just let him slip away like this?"

Outside, a tattooed man angrily shouted at several men in black suits.

"Biao, we've been here the whole time, the young master suddenly disappeared from the room."

A man trying to explain was kicked by the tattooed man.

"I don't want to hear your damn excuses, you better go find the young master immediately! If you can't find him by nightfall, I'll gouge out your eyes. You can't even keep watch on one person, you shouldn't exist."

After hearing the man's words, the man trembled, got up, and ran downstairs with the others.

They were well aware that if they didn't find the young master by dark, that person would really gouge their eyes out.

"Damn it, can't even watch one person. What a bunch of idiots!"

The man angrily kicked over a garbage can nearby and pulled out his phone to make a call.

Seeing those people had left, the man pointing the gun at Zhou Hanyun breathed a sigh of relief, then put down the gun, saying:

"I'm really sorry, the situation is indeed a bit unusual. I had no choice but to resort to such measures."

He then handed the gun over to the still-shocked Zhou Hanyun.

Seeing this, Zhou Hanyun hesitated for a moment.

Almost instinctively, she took the gun.

But as soon as she held the gun, Zhou Hanyun was taken aback and then chuckled bitterly, saying:

"It's fake?"

"Yeah!"

The man nodded awkwardly, then cautiously peeked through the peephole.

Once he confirmed that the people outside had left, he opened the door and said:

"Thanks a lot earlier. If I've offended you in any way, I appreciate your understanding."

And just as the man was about to leave, a male voice rang out by his ear:

"I knew you'd be here! Young master, please don't think of running, or it'll be hard for me to explain to the boss!"

"Biao? Damn it, I should have guessed, you cunning guy haven't gone far."

The man's expression changed, shaking his head in frustration.

"Let's go, young master, you're getting engaged tomorrow, and they've prepared a grand banquet for you."

Who else could the tattooed man be?

Just as the two were about to leave, a cold voice came from outside the door:

"Do you think this is your house? Coming and going as you please!"

Yang Yan slowly walked towards the two, his face dark as water.

Disturbed by people from Baiyu City today, he was in a bad mood.

Seeing Yang Yan approaching, the man named Biao pulled the young master behind him, stepped forward, and asked in a deep voice:

"Who are you?"

"Who am I to you? You barged into our room, used a gun to threaten my family, and now want to leave just like that? That's not right, is it?"

Yang Yan said coldly, looking at the man with a freezing gaze.
