The next morning, Nan Zhengde was practicing Tai Chi in the yard when Chai Hua walked in.

Nan Zhengde gestured for him not to say anything and to wait for him to finish his practice instead.

Without a choice, Chai Hua stood by the side and watched Nan Zhengde finish a set of Tai Chi moves before handing him a towel.

Grabbing over the towel, Nan Zhengde gently wiped off his sweat. “What is it in this early morning?”

“Qiao Zhan called me in the middle of the night and said that Master Chen and Ning Ran are both unreachable.”

Nan Zhengde paused in his movement. “Unreachable?”

“Yes, Master Chen and Ning Ran were rushing to a place called Lotus Town in Lightspring to look for a doctor. Qiao Zhan and Master Xing remained at Livingsfill with Little Miss and Little Master. They promised to make a video call between nine to ten every night. But the call couldn't get through since yesterday afternoon,” explained Chai Hua.

“What have you done after learning about that news?” Nan Zhengde asked.

“I've sent two men to rush over there. They've just arrived and have yet to send me any news,” Chai Hua answered.

“Good job. Do not act rashly. Tell Nan Xing and Qiao Zhan to stay put at Livingsfill and take care of the children instead of heading to Lightspring to look for Nan Chen.”

“Got it.”

“Send more men to head down to Lightspring. Do it discreetly. Have them travel in groups to avoid getting busted and get them to investigate in secret.”

“Understood, Mr. Nan.”

“Guard the phone. If anyone calls, you must answer it personally. If anyone is looking for me, tell them I'm not around and call back later,” Nan Zhengde further instructed.

“But what if it has got to do with Master Chen...”

“No way. Those people will try to confuse me before negotiating. I need some time to think about it. I will not answer phone calls or accept visitors before two in the afternoon. Bring breakfast to my study room,” Nan Zhengde uttered.

“Sure, Mr. Nan.”

Having worked for the Nan family for many years, Chai Hua had long gotten used to Nan Zhengde's calm and composed disposition.

“Also, don't let Madam learn about this for the time being.”

“Got it.” Chai Hua left immediately right after.

Nan Zhengde stayed in the study room and only got out at about three in the afternoon.
